Alejandra Ruani: Oh my gosh Gen, your hair is blowing! Hahaha
Genevieve (Gen) Gauvin: It�s because of the fan!
Alejandra: [Coco the cat] You know Gen! Hello! Hola Gen! Hola Nick! Don�t jump! Ohhh, she
jumped! Gen: hahaha
Alejandra: Sooo, hello, Nick- How are you? Nick Pineault: I�m great, I�m great, how
are you, Alejandra? Alejandra: This is so cool, I was so looking
forward to it. Nick: You would pronounce �Pi-no�
Alejandra: Pi-no, like the wine. I have Italian genes, right? Italian blood. Aaaand I love
pasta. Nick: Okay
Alejandra: Like every single Italian person! Now, what�s the deal with pasta? Is it bad
for me? Nick: oh, wow, that�s a really good question.
I mean, it really depends on your goal, first of all. Most people..let�s say that you�re
trying to lose weight, right? And Italians- you�ve got all those pastas and cheese and
everything. Most people will be better off reducing the carbohydrate, carbs intake, just
because most people don�t have time to be really active in these days, and we have desk
jobs, like me, and that�s the big reason people are all about low-carb diets. Because
they work, to some extent, and really if you�re overweight you have to watch it. Sometimes
I feel guilty of eating a non-healthy food, but is that really necessary to feel guilt
over one meal that contains, I don�t know, toxins or GMOs, or whatever you want? Your
body will be able to process those, and I�m sure, you know, if you have celiac and you�re
about to die because you have a cheat meal maybe that�s another problem, but for most
people your body won�t go into some kind of seizure or anything- so you�ve gotta
just keep that in mind and see over the long term. So the 90-10 rule I find that�s really
healthier for anyone, even for I level athletes and body-builders- some people find that preparing
for shows or really restrictive diet, if they let go a little bit to have some kind of social
life it�s just less painful because sometimes these people prepare for 12 to 16 weeks in
the end and just need a little bit of relief from time to time.
Alejandra: Yes. One of the things that I often say is, �Food doesn�t make you fat, it�s
guilt.� And the moment you feel that guilt you continue punishing yourself and you can
get into this spiral that doesn�t stop, especially for us women. I don�t expect
you to understand it, Nick, because the male brain operates differently, but it�s tough
for women. Nick: Yeah, but I see, I see, I really see
how that�s a problem, and I mean, I live with a woman, obviously, my fianc�e, Gen.
I see how that�s a problem for almost 100 percent of women, and even men, to be honest.
We do struggle with food sometimes, and it�s when you get into this mindset that �Oh,
I was trying to do the right thing and I didn�t, and now I feel guilt, but then I feel bad
about feeling guilty because I don�t�� so it gets complicated in our head. So, probably
mostly women are more emotional generally, but even for men we get into those cycles
we call �games� with food, and that�s really hard to just ignore them, or to heal
our relationship with food. So, like I said, I should probably don�t stress over food,
but sometimes just bad food around and I�m like, �Oh, no I don�t want to eat this�
or, I don�t know, I�ll feel bad for 20 days.. I mean, no, I won�t, I�ll be fine,
and sometimes you just stress a little too much, so yeah. I think that�s a problem
for almost everyone out there. Alejandra: I completely agree with you- that�s
the way to go. Gen: Yeah, totally agree!
Alejandra: [thumbs up] Gen: [thumbs up]
Nick: I just quit my day job a couple of days ago that was another business, but now I�m
full time �Nutrition Nerd,� so.. Alejandra: Full time �Nutrition Nerd��yeahhhhh!!!
Nick: Haha, thank you. So, if people want to follow me on my blog, nickpineault.com,
just check out the link below the video, and I�ll come up with a lot of stuff in the
next few months! I�ll probably experiment with my mother trying to help her..
Alejandra: Haha, ohh bless her! Byee! Nick: Bye!
