So we just have an organic conversation.

Oh, that's what we do.

That's all we do.

That's all that I've got. You lost weight? Yeah, I lost 10 kilos, man. Yeah, you're good, man. Because I can see your eyes now even more. Yeah, I've lost that. Yeah, I lost 10 kilos, man. I just, um. How? Yeah, I'll tell you that now, actually. So I saw this, I saw this, first of all,

I have to tell you the why before the how. The why was because I had, um, I had a few blood tests and my cholesterol was super high. And so that was the reason. So I wanted to like low my cholesterol. And then, al-haphala, after I'd made some diet changes, it went, like, quite down. The how is quite interesting. So I came across this video, but he was actually by this

Christian pastor. And what he said was quite interesting in the video. He goes, so he said basically,

like, if you eat and drink only what is and what he termed like the lord's garden right

so you have to like you know forgive some of the uh some of the rhetoric but um he said so so that

means if it grows in the garden if it's uh if it walks in the garden if it um yeah grows in the garden

and it doesn't don't right so anything that comes from the earth and the ground and stuff of that, fish, animals, fruit. So essentially it's like, don't eat processed food. And so I basically did that. And I cut out of some of the stuff that the doctor recommended. So the doctor told me not eat to eat red meat temporarily, not eat egg yolks, and some of the stuff that would, like, spike my cholesterol. But then I brought, like,

really into that diet, and I, I would eat a lot of sardines. If I had bread, it would be like

multi-grained or sourdough, and no fried food and things like this. And what I also realized, interestingly, is the amount of food that we need as humans is just so minimal compared to what we think we need. Yes. And then I read some stuff. I read something. It was like a tweet, it was like a Twitter thread about the benefits of fasting, of the Sunnah fast, you know, why the Prophet said Allah Allah Ali was

some of the stuff that it said were not things that we, that we typically see. You know,

we typically see things like, I don't know, like, it's good to remember, you know, the benefit,

the, the, the, the, the, the, the goodness that we have or like, it's good for your gut. But the stuff I was reading was like, hunger literally, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I'm, like, it's good for your gut. So, then, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna, I'd go, oh, I'm getting that feeling of hunger. So then where normally hunger would feel to me like, oh, no, I'm hungry.

I'd eat. I'd go, oh, I'm getting that feeling of hunger. That means my body's fixing itself right now. And it made me feel good about it. And so I'd prolong that feeling a little bit. And so anyway, through that, yeah, I ended up losing 10 kilos. And you have a good for it, man. Al-Ghazali, he would basically say that you should only eat, not only when you're hungry,

but to the degree when whatever food you're given, you don't care what you're going to eat.

Wow.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's serious.

So food becomes basically, you know, a necessity rather than an enjoyment because we

over-glorify food, isn't it?
