Recording? We just went up.

We went on. Cole, how long do you have? How long can we, can we bug you for?

Lots of time.

Cool. All right, man. So, oh, so thanks for coming on. I've got, you know, I don't know where the snake diet came from, where you got that, but I got a picture of a snake swall on a damn crocodile or something like that. It just kind of. It kind of started with that kind of a joke because when I first started fasting, I was just eating this, you know, I started with eating a meal a day and then it just went farther and farther where I started doing long, fast. But that's exactly what the joke was because you're eating one big meal and then you're fasting, right? Kind of like a snake.

Yeah, it's kind of interesting because you've got like some animals like frigging crocodiles that can eat like once a year. I mean, it's just amazing.

Exactly. Exactly. It's amazing what people can do. And then, you know, historically we've seen people that would eat like some of these Mongolians would friggin eat a whole sheep in like a day or two and then they wouldn't eat for, you know, a week or more. And so. But that's funny you bring that up because I keep running my mouth,

some of the people I coach about stomach capacity,

because the way we would have evolved, it would have large stomach capacity. But now we're eating all these, like our eating frequencies so so high, like we're eating. Everyone's promoting five, six, whatever meals a day that you're not eating until you're actually full. And so our stomachs haven't developed. And that's actually an issue because you've actually got more capability

if you can eat a lot in a sitting and then fast long. Yeah, we had, I mean, Zach, remember we had

Molly Schuyler, who's, yeah, 22 pounds of, she ate, she put down 22 pounds of meat in one sitting.

As a, he's a competitor, competitor yeah she's only like 120 pounds or something like that too or maybe even smaller so it's like you see these guys like

Sean are twice her size you think like who knows how much you can actually get down if you like you should

even the way i grew up you know i i was always actually encouraged to eat a big meal when I was a kid. And my capacity is probably, you know, I could eat 10 pounds of food in the sitting. If I weigh myself on the scale before I eat and then if I had to like force a little bit extra food, I could easily eat 10 pounds and I'd be comfortably full. I'd be full on 10 pounds of volume, but I've ate 12 pounds of volume, you know. And even if everybody should be able to pretty easily eat like five pounds of actual food volume, including the water they drink. They should be able to. Any male should for sure. Yeah, I mean, I've eaten six and one sitting plus water, so whatever that is. So, I mean, I know that I can do that. I'd eat five pounds of raw steak in a sitting, just because I was doing an experiment with blood sugar. I want to see how high I could get my blood sugar up just from protein. And I ate, yeah, I ate five pounds of meat in under an hour. And then I just pretty much watch my blood sugar for 12 hours straight

after that just to show people that you know gluconeogenesis obviously you know about that can be
