What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?

The first 10 minutes sound like we’re recording in a modly bean can, in a deep, dingy cave, underwater.

The audio is absolute poop.

Stick with it—after the 10-minute mark, it’s like Dorothy stepping into Oz.

Great start to the new professional approach.

Topics Covered:

• What “evidence-based” really means (and doesn’t)
• Why PubMed warriors and fat-waving influencers both miss the point
• Principles vs methods: the calorie deficit that won’t die
• Why people still fall for rat studies and scary headlines
• Correlation ≠ causation: the ice cream, sharks, and Nicolas Cage problem
• The placebo & nocebo effect—how belief changes biology
• What The Martian teaches us about survival, science, and spuds

Earth-Shattering Episode Quotes:

"You don’t need to be an evidence-based nutritionist to find out that you must be in a calorie deficit to lose weight."

“Just because something was shown to work in rats or a Petri dish doesn’t mean it works the same in humans.”

"I’m trying to educate without boring people to death. That’s the skill—not spamming screenshots of studies no one asked for and feeling like I have to wave pounds of rubber fat to get people's attention.”

This episode's Narcissistic ramblings include:

"You did two treadmill sessions in January, decided they were soul-destroying, and now you're done for the year."

"People spend six months researching the best diet instead of just eating better today."

"It's only Tuesday—just because you overate yesterday doesn't mean you can sack off the rest of the week, the month, or the year!"

"Drowning in knowledge but not acting on any of it—that's why we're more miserable and fatter than ever."

To wrap things up, Ben also reviews the film Groundhog Day (1993), drawing comparisons between its time-loop concept and the repetitive cycle of unrealistic New Year's resolutions—where people keep making the same mistakes year after year but expect different results.

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?

We discuss why you won't stick to your new diet in February, why January is the worst time to start a new health routine, and whether labelling foods as points or syns is the answer.

🧐 How do "temporal landmarks" psychologically influence our motivation and planning?
🏋️‍♂️ What are the benefits of flexible dieting compared to rigid dieting in achieving sustainable health goals?
📊 Why do extreme diets and resolutions often fail, and how can individuals make lasting changes?

Highlighted ramblings:

"Counting points and syns is pretty restrictive, isn’t it?"

Temporal Landmarks
"Temporal landmarks like New Year’s make us believe our future self will handle all the habits we struggled with before."
"January is just the worst time to start something new, even though it feels like the perfect time because of the fresh start effect."

New Year, New Me...
"January is about extremes—extreme diets, extreme exercise—but most people can’t sustain that past February."
"The goal is to get through January in one piece without overloading yourself with impossible expectations."

Learning and Sustainability
"People cycle on and off these plans because they aren’t sustainable long-term. It’s not about weight loss for one month—it’s about making it a lifestyle."
"We need to learn how to integrate habits into our routine, not just throw ourselves into fads we can’t maintain."

Personal Struggles and Resilience
"This is my 85th time starting over with some health resolution, and the question is—what’s different this time?"
"The focus should be on finding something you can stomach—like walking twice a week—and building from there."

Today's narcissistic ramblings include:

Raspberries and Freezer Filming

"Imagine if you're just trying to do your shop after a long day... and you've got someone in the way, putting a camera in the freezer so they can walk away from it, walk back to it, and open the door to pull out the raspberries."

"Here's me in a public space, trying to record a video of me picking up raspberries. God, it sickens me."

Frozen Pizza and Shoppers' Frustration

"You're rushing to pick up frozen pizza out of the freezer... tired, knackered, and someone is blocking the way with a camera filming raspberries."

Whinge Fest and Filming Criticism

"This has just turned into another whinge fest, hasn't it? Just me ranting about people filming themselves pushing a trolley around Aldi or Lidl."

"The only thing more embarrassing than consistently filming your weekly shop is someone whinging about it."

Shopping Trends and Procrastination

"Seeing someone's Aldi shop as inspiration? No, it's just another form of procrastination."
"You don't need to see the shop. The first time it happened, maybe. But now? No, you don’t."

We had a cracking episode lined up about your Body image that was cut short by more technical miseries.|

We'll return to give it a second bash, a new camera in tow - if the Irish cankle will allow it...

Ben still managed to poop out some half-decent narcissistic ramblings:

On Perseverance and Realistic Expectations:

"You don't hear about the other 99% who didn't make it. You only hear from the 1% at the top."

"You've got to keep turning up and doing this because if you don't, then what? Nothing."

"Transformation pictures aren't for you—they're' for everyone else. Do you take them and keep them private? Or do you slap them all over social media to show off?"

On Parenting and Body Image:

"Kids aren't stupid—they notice when their mom steps on the scale and lets the number dictate her mood. That behaviour plants seeds for unhealthy relationships with food and body image."

"The myth that women will get bulky from lifting weights must die.
