Hi, I'm Ethan Sopli, welcome to American Blood.

Outside of acting, my two favorite things to do are diet and eat.

I have a very complicated relationship with food and on this podcast we're going to talk about all of it.

Food as entertainment, food as sport, food as fuel.

I'll talk to experts and the average person just like you and me.

I hate to ask you to do anything, but if you're enjoying the show,

please take a moment to like, subscribe, rate, review, all of the above on whatever app you're getting it from.

This is the part where we answer questions that have been submitted by you or people like you.

Thank you for your questions. We appreciate them. Keep them coming. We enjoy answering them mostly because it's like the most time I get to spend with page.

How could that be bad? That's what I'm saying.

We have today page today. We have Charles. Hi, Charles.

Okay, Charles says, what is the best way to handle when you decide I'm going to indulge in food like I'm going away.

And I don't usually eat bread and cheese on a regular on the regular, but I'm going out of town and I want to have that freedom on a vacation.

I want to indulge. I want to enjoy knowing it's just for that period. But how do I not let it turn into hot dogs when I get back?

Yeah, this is real, dude.

This is real. This is real, Charles.

I have had. It's more successful now, but I have certainly had trips where I've gone off and then gotten back and been like, well, what's the point of ever dieting again because I was so bad while I was gone that it's just all ruined.

I think the way I like to do it now is certainly I associate everywhere with food. I can't help but do that. I want to go and travel places because I want to eat the food that is made there. Now this is all stuff I don't really eat anymore or ever or not for years.

But I still will associate everything like you have to be kidding me if I go to Italy anytime soon. And I'm not going to eat catch a pepe or or or spaghetti carbonara in Rome or something like this. I'm going to eat that for sure.

But I think that now I'll not have to have it for breakfast lunch and dinner. Whereas before it was more like it would just be a binge for the entire trip. I would go to bed feeling sick every night, wake up with some kind of a food hang over the next day.

And then you know get my second wind and go back at it and every meal had to be super indulgent. And now I'll pick a couple of things that I want to have or try and I'll have those. And for the rest of the time I'll eat within the parameters that I basically eat now, you know, if hot dogs are your thing and you find yourself at Dodger Stadium, you know, I can't say I wouldn't have a Dodger dog.
