What is going on? Welcome to the fit, healthy, and happy podcast. I'm your host, Josh, here with my co-host. KG in the house. And we got a great episode for everyone today. So be ready. Yeah, I'm fired up for this one. Beautiful. That's what we needed. Yeah. He wasn't fired up Monday. So he's fired up today. And it's the same day we're filming it and the reason is because we

just bumped out 25 minutes of content i mean at the start of the last one i wasn't fired up and then

as you progress just like anything now i'm like okay sweet and honestly the reason i get fired up is because

i feel like so many people will learn a bunch of things from this and that makes me fired up because

we're offering value and we can hopefully change at least a couple lives here with this episode. I think that's a lesson even. I mean, we always like to rub this into the gym quickly at the start, apparently. You know, even for us, we don't want to film these podcasts necessarily. We just finish full day of work, all this stuff. And then we want to film this. but once you get started, you feel good, you know, it all comes together.

You feel really great having it done after, you know, same filming videos. And the same with the gym. Somebody's got to drag yourself in there. But as long as you get yourself there, you know, you're setting yourself up, right? So today we're going to talk about, you know, some tips to kind of avoid, you know, succumbing to those sugar cravings in the evenings or those sugar or sweet. You know, that's, or sorry, sugar is sweet. Salty or sugar, I guess is the question. For me, I will take salt over sugar any day. Yeah, and for me, I would take sugar over salt any day of the week, man. Yeah, for me,

I'd take a nice pasta over some ice cream, but Kyle's the type of guy to go off on a bender and have 10,000 calories of just ice cream. That was insane. Do not try this at home, but if you do want to be entertained, search Colossus Fitness 10,000 calorie ice cream challenge into YouTube. We don't have too many views on that, which is sad because I literally...

That was nuts.

Oh my gosh. I don't even know how I survived that. I literally did not puke. I did all 10,000 calories. The next day was not fun. We've got my, what, 10K views, 15K views, but I mean, I did it. And I can tell all my kids one day that I did that.

And we had a phase. We've done a 3,000, 10,000 calorie challenges and a 15,000. I guess Kyle's on four. Yeah. I mean, but then again. I puked on one of them, so that doesn't count. I didn't finish it. Two of them, yeah. Secret fact, the 15K. Because I showed it to one of my clients, Beth, and I said, you have to watch this

challenge.

So we did these because I got so many views.

It was really popular and you're hungry when you work out, but man, it was gross.

But I remember she texted me after she watched it and she said, Kyle, look like you

wanted to die.

And you know, I rewatch the end and I'm like oh this poor guy

and there's one the Canadian one man it's sad you you do not look happy yeah and then you

and then you feel so much better but yeah so we don't recommend these and this is uh don't don't

do this if you're chilling at night it's 8 p.m because you will probably want to grab something

super sugary or sweet and this brings us to the topic of the video. How do you deal with sugar cravings in the evenings? So my number one tip, and this is very unconventional, but I guess it really depends how you think and how you operate. You know, I like to, I'm someone who always likes to be three steps ahead. You know, I like to think if I do this, how will this affect this? How will everyone respond? You know, I really do think in advance. So I find I have the most success, you know, when I smell something good or I can buy something and I go, wait a second, what is the consequence of this action? You know, and that makes it sound really horrible. But, you know, even at the end of the day,

I've hit my calories and I go out and have a thousand more. The consequence of that is I'm derailing myself from my goals. The next day I'm going to feel, you know, not myself. I'm going to feel demotivated that I, you know, let go when I wasn't able to exercise control. You know, my energy might get messed up. I might want to eat more the next day. It could affect my sleep. So to me,

I just think of the consequence of it's not worth it i'd rather stay with my goals and you know it might that might not work for everything but if you do think like that that is a huge tool and if you just you know really think is it worth deviating for my goals for this quick little blizzard or whatever it is um a lot of the times you will easily say no. Yeah. And it sounds like very obvious. But if you actually implement this and connect that, you know, urge to overeat with like asking yourself that question, I do believe that 95 plus percent of the times you'll actually stop yourself from having it because you really don't need it. And it's 9 p.m. and you're watching a movie and you just want to eat that crap. Number two, this is what I, it sounds very obvious, but this is what I would recommend. Just don't keep it in the house. And you've probably heard a million people say it over and over. But if you actually, like for me, if I have to physically get up out of my seat,
