Oli Brezoianu, radio voice and producer, spoke on Friday evening with Mihaela Bilic, on Europa FM in the “Taste Frequency” show about sugar and losing weight. “I realized at some point that it was necessary to consult a nutritionist. There is nothing wrong with this, in fact it is a very good thing, because at the beginning you do not have all the notions. You’re actually the person who wants to lose weight, and you expect that scale to go down every day like you’re going down in an elevator. No, this will not happen. You have to work with your mind”, explained Oli Brezoianu.
“You have to work with your mind. You have to understand what the principles are, you have to understand what are the things that you have to cut out of your diet for the diet period. It’s not magic, it doesn’t happen overnight”
Mihaela Bilic: We can very well be inspired by the experience of others…
Oli Brezoianu: “I think that’s where we get our courage, and I think that’s where, at that point – in that T0 – we start and realize that maybe if we get to do an exercise, we get to build every bit of the mind to reach a result, that courage starts and it grows with the mind and you start and you realize that you start and you work with yourself”.
“I was not alone. I mean, I realized at some point that it was necessary to turn to a nutritionist. There is nothing wrong with this, in fact it is a very good thing, because at the beginning you do not have all the notions. You’re actually the person who wants to lose weight, and you expect that scale to go down every day like you’re going down in an elevator. No, this will not happen.
You have to work with your mind. You have to understand what the principles are, you have to understand what are the things that you have to cut out of your diet for the diet period. It’s not magic, it doesn’t happen overnight. But the best thing is the one where you leave with a very strong mindset or at least with the desire to build that mindset, because later you will realize what you need to cut. And if you have to cut, a very important thing is unfortunately sugar, carbohydrates – because they also turn into carbohydrates at some point and all these things”said Oli Brezoianu.
“The moment I understood what actual sugar is in terms of eating just sugar, the things we eat that contain sugar, then I said there’s something wrong there.”
Mihaela Bilic: You put your finger on the wound, but it is something we have to assume. I mean, sugar is great, it makes life sweet, but it comes with some bad things that we find hard to accept. But this thing with sugar – I almost want to say that we are still in the month of January – is worth this exercise, at least from my point of view and the books confirm it, it completely changes our relationship with food.
Oli Brezoianu: “It changes our relationship with us. It’s all the more interesting and to be able to add: I come from that area where I like it, I liked it, I still like it – I can’t ignore it, it’s not like I forgot about sugar, it’s a belief and it’s something I work on every day. But to give a simple example: on the market there is syrupy cake – that’s where they come from”.
Mihaela Bilic: So it wasn’t enough that it’s a cake, it’s also syrupy.
Oli Brezoianu: “Exact. Well, the moment I understood what actual sugar is in terms of eating just sugar, the things we eat that contain sugar, then I said there’s something wrong there. Even more than that, if you think that most foods where sugar should not be present contain sugar, then I think that can be a T0 moment when you realize that something is strange.
If people started talking so much about the presence of sugar, let me think too: if I get to the store and buy a semi-preparation. Let’s suppose that we are in that position and we hurriedly take a semi-prepared food, but if we have the curiosity and look at everything that contains that semi-prepared food, we will see that there is sugar in a steak. Something is not right. I understand that there are spices used to enhance taste, aroma, all kinds of things that we imagine in the kitchen that we love to be chefs in the kitchen, but is sugar everywhere necessary? I think the sugar free stuff has become very limited. Water I think… though, beware that there is also water…”.
“In nature – if we were to take it strictly as an example – I don’t think we can meet that much sugar”
Mihaela Bilic: It is clear that the food industry has realized that our relationship with sugar is special, innate. And that’s what we have to keep in mind when we talk about instincts. Since nature wanted us to be sugar lovers, we don’t have to learn to like sugar… And the very interesting thing is that when you give a child sugar water, he smiles instantly. So, back to the pleasure chapter, it’s an ingredient that brings unconditional pleasure, and it doesn’t take much for our minds to discover this and then use and then abuse that pleasure.
Oli Brezoianu: “It’s right. But, in nature if we simply think about us as people on this earth, in nature – if we were to take it strictly as an example – I don’t think we can meet that much sugar”.
Mihaela Bilic: No, or if we consume sugar as nature makes it.
Oli Brezoianu: „Exact”.
