Kevin Tejada:
We all know that one guy who's like, don't talk to me until I've had my coffee. (00:28):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Because, you know, I don't know, they don't get enough sleep or something. (00:33):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Personally, I never understood the appeal of coffee or getting caffeine through coffee. (00:36):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I think most coffee drinkers behave like, you know, addicts. (00:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Like, oh, I need my, I need my coffee. I need my coffee. (00:46):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I like the smell of coffee a lot, but I just, I don't, I don't drink it. (00:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Cause, well, I don't like, I don't like caffeine. That's basically it. (00:54):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And that's what I'm talking about today. (00:58):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Now, scientifically speaking, yeah, caffeine is a natural stimulant. (01:01):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: It can help you out. Blah, blah, blah. (01:05):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: It appears in tea and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. (01:08):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And a little bit can help you out. Sure. I'm talking about those fucking addicts, though. (01:13):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: The people who need their coffee in the morning. They need pre-workout to exercise. (01:17):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: They need their energy drink. Like, a friend of mine listens to this, (01:22):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: and hopefully he's not upset me sharing this, but it's funny. (01:27):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I remember he had a monster energy drink addiction. (01:30):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I'm talking, like, cans in various places. If he didn't get them, (01:34):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: he would have withdrawals. (01:39):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: That shit's funny. But obviously, it's not good, right? Like, (01:41):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: yeah, the caffeine, you know, dig a bit of caffeine in the morning. (01:45):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Oh, you're ready. You're alert for your day, whatever. (01:47):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Me, personally, I'm a fucking weirdo. I like (01:49):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: making things harder just brute forcing them because I'm fucking fucked (01:52):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: up like when I lost 100 pounds I (01:56):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: didn't use liposuction use weight loss drugs didn't get (01:59):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: a gastric bypass whatever whatever else can help make that much easier during (02:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: college I just just was awkward you know I didn't have alcohol as a social lubricant (02:06):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I just was fucking awkward and try to work my way through that and also in college (02:12):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you know where everyone else was doing their essays, (02:17):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: the night before with fucking Adderall. (02:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I was over here planning my days. (02:22):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Like, how the fuck did you guys do it so quickly? Turns out it was drugs. (02:24):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I just don't want any fucking help with stuff that I need to accomplish, if that makes sense. (02:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And by that, I mean physically, kind of. (02:34):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Obviously, technology, help me out, please. For example, editing, (02:38):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: all this shit is very helpful with technology. (02:41):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But for me personally, I see caffeine as a way to make yourself more alert, (02:44):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: more focused, whatever. (02:48):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Personally for me i would try to become more focused and alert in general get (02:49):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: better sleep whatever it is but yeah if you want some caffeine whatever it's (02:54):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: not it's not a huge deal but i think there's some people who abuse the shit (02:58):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: out of that and there are some negative side effects to caffeine that especially (03:01):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: if you're trying to lose weight whatever it is it can mess you up, (03:04):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: so let me let me talk about a couple of the good things i guess so a little (03:08):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: bit of caffeine usage like under 400 milligrams a day for adults. (03:12):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: It can actually, you know, get you in a mood for better performance, (03:17):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: mentally, physically, whatever it is. (03:21):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I remember, I think I've had caffeine. I mean, I had a little bit of coffee (03:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: when I was a kid, I think. Maybe it was decaf, I don't know. (03:27):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But in my adult life, past like age 22 or whatever, I think I've only had like (03:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: an actual dose of caffeine, I think twice. (03:36):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Twice being gym related. First time, I think it was bang? No, it was C4 energy. (03:40):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So I had that at the gym. And this is at the beginning when I was working at (03:48):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Blink Fitness as a personal trainer. I remember taking C4 and then exercising. (03:52):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I was feeling like, you know, pretty normal. And then I got a call. (03:56):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I was, I remember I was sitting in the leg extension machine at a call from (04:00):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: a client who was basically canceling last minute or rescheduling, whatever. (04:04):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I'm like, I mean, I'm obviously like, okay. (04:07):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And after that, I'm like, I'm like so fucking annoyed because that, (04:11):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: that completely botched my plans for the rest of the day. (04:13):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Because you know, when you have a schedule, you move things around and blah, blah, blah. (04:16):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So when that happened, I was really upset. So to this day, I don't know if that (04:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: feeling of like just powering through exercising was from anger from that moment, (04:24):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: or that's exactly when the C4 kicked in. (04:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I have no clue, but I was, I was a fucking beast in that moment on that machine. So I don't know. (04:31):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And then the second time, this was a couple of years later when I worked at (04:39):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Equinox, I tried bang energy drink. I think I took a sip or two. (04:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I don't think I had the whole thing. I took a sip or two and I felt like I was (04:47):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: going to die. I was just like, oh my God, why do I feel like this? (04:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So my caffeine tolerance is just all, all the way low. (04:54):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So maybe I'm not one to talk with this, right? But personally, (04:58):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I just don't really like the feeling of caffeine. (05:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I even used to drink the Celsius drink, which has a pretty low amount of caffeine in it. (05:04):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Even that I'm like, eh, I don't know. So I kind of stopped drinking that anyway. (05:09):
undefined
Speaker1: I don't know. (05:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Caffeine is just weird. It's kind of like alcohol for me. I fucking hate alcohol, (05:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: which I will do a whole episode on very soon, actually, which people are going to get mad at. (05:18):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But anyway, alcohol, I just don't like it. It's I think in my entire life, (05:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: in terms of alcoholic beverages, I've had like half of a can of beer worth in (05:27):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: my entire 33 years of living. (05:31):
undefined
Speaker2: But that's to say, (05:33):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: There's this flavor of ice cream called bourbon vanilla. And I was asking the (05:34):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: guy a while ago when I tried this. (05:39):
undefined
Speaker2: Like, hey, what do you mean bourbon (05:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Vanilla like it's all as some part of it is there's bourbon (05:43):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: involved in part of it but it's basically evaporated out and you can't (05:46):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: taste it i'm like oh okay i tasted it twice i'm (05:49):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: like i can taste the fucking alcohol i'm not a fan and i it's kind of like caffeine (05:52):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: now it's like i can i can tell there's caffeine in this is weird i don't know (05:57):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: i'm not a fan personally i know other people are like i love the jittery feeling (06:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: yes it's life it's energy but for me i'm like it's fucking weird, (06:06):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: so here's the thing if you have i don't know your life sucks you're a (06:11):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: parent or whatever you have you have to be you have to be awake but (06:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you got no sleep do what you got to do i guess i don't (06:17):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: know if you don't have the option of sleeping early for some reason (06:19):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: whatever but just know it's (06:22):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: not fucking great and here's here are my (06:25):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: main issues with caffeine with how it relates to you know (06:28):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: weight loss and stuff first of all let's get this out of the way the shit at (06:30):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: starbucks dunkin donuts the the coffee parfaits the caffeine parfaits that that's (06:34):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: fucked up i'm wondering if i should call this episode caffeine or just coffee (06:38):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: so i have room to talk about and bitch about energy drinks and other shit later (06:41):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: i don't know we'll see how i feel probably just just gonna be caffeine. (06:45):
undefined
Speaker1: Yeah, the whole, you know, (06:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Coffee parfaits that you get at these places, it's like, hey, (06:52):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: man, that's like borderline ice cream. Now, if you want it because it tastes good, have fun, right? (06:55):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But if you want a coffee, you want a caffeine pick-me-up, whatever, (07:00):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: and that's what you go for, that's fucked up. (07:04):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Not ideal, is what I'll say for you. Because that thing is probably, (07:07):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I don't know, 300, 400, possibly 800 calories I've seen some places. (07:12):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And when you drink your calories in general It's not great Because you're not (07:17):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: as full If it's going to be that many Then you know You're just sabotaging yourself (07:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: at that point Not to mention the sugar addiction Whatever that you're getting yourself on, (07:28):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But yeah just that Those calorie bombs are just completely fucked up If we're (07:33):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: talking about coffee and weight loss Like I said do what you want If it tastes (07:37):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: great And you're like yeah 500 calories It's worth it Fucking do it, (07:41):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: If you're trying to lose weight and you just want a bit of caffeine, (07:47):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: that is like, that's the last thing I'd recommend for you. (07:49):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Fucking Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts stuff. (07:53):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So that's not great by itself, right? (07:56):
undefined
Speaker2: Now let's talk about the sleep thing. (07:58):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So caffeine, it obviously suppresses your tiredness and that keeps you up longer, right? (08:00):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But you probably didn't know. You might know actually if you're a coffee drinker, (08:09):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: which you probably are because most people are. (08:12):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Caffeine also suppresses your hunger a bit too which you think would be awesome right, (08:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: super helpful with weight loss but that effect is mild and temporary of course, (08:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: so you might just suppress and then later you're like oh my god I'm really hungry (08:27):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: and then maybe you overeat so that's not great it's kind of hiding the natural (08:30):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: hunger that you have so obviously depending on how much caffeine you have so (08:35):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: that's not great in my opinion, (08:40):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Going back to the sleep, it hides your sleep. So then later you get a crash, (08:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: right? But sometimes the damage is already done. (08:48):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: You're not going to get enough sleep. You're going to get like five hours instead (08:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: of eight that you should be getting. (08:53):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And when you don't get enough sleep, you get under, I think it's under six or (08:55):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: five hours or something. What happens the next day. (08:58):
undefined
Speaker2: Is that your (09:01):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Hunger hormone in your body called ghrelin. (09:02):
undefined
Speaker2: Which I hate (09:05):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: The name of, it sounds like a gremlin goblin that goes into fucking overdrive (09:06):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: the next day and makes you like 25 to 40% hungrier. (09:10):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So think about it. You're drinking coffee one day in the afternoon. (09:16):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: You stay up, you not only fuck up your sleep, but then the next day you're hungry (09:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: as fuck and you're probably going to overeat, fucking up your weight loss all (09:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: because you needed that goddamn caffeine. (09:27):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Now there's a way to get, to get around this. And that's obviously, (09:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you know, drinking coffee or coffee earlier in the day, but you can see the issue, right? (09:32):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: If this affects your sleep, it's going to affect your, your eating habits. (09:36):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: It's going to affect your weight loss can affect your health obviously if (09:39):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you're a responsible caffeine user this probably won't happen (09:43):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: to you but if you're a coffee addict it's probably happened to (09:45):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you devil's advocate time caffeine is (09:48):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: natural and safe it's in coffee so you can't really overdose i think that's (09:52):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: not true you can overdose on anything including water so shut up water is also (09:56):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: natural and safe also that feeling i had when i when i drank part of that bang (10:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: if i drank the whole can i might have overduces. (10:06):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: People have different caffeine tolerances, and I'm assuming if you drink, (10:11):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: like, I don't know, 10 cans of Bang, you're going to die. (10:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So I don't think this is true. I mean, maybe what I just said wasn't true, (10:17):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: but it sure as fuck felt like it. So that's dumb. (10:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: It's the best fat burner and workout booster. Why not use more? (10:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Because when they say fat burner, what that's doing is basically making your (10:26):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: body feel like, oh, my God, my, my, what's it called? (10:30):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: The, I forget what they're called, the fat somethings. they start becoming more (10:34):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: active and available for you to use during exercise, which means, (10:38):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: they're essentially encouraging you to exercise so that you can then, (10:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you know, burn some, burn some calories, build muscle to burn calories at rest. (10:46):
undefined
Speaker1: Stuff like that. That's what it means (10:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: By fat burner. It's not just you take it and then your body just burns the fat (10:51):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: off of your fucking skin. It's not what happens. (10:54):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And workout booster. Well, if you're lazy as shit and you need pre-workout, (10:57):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: then I don't know, whatever, I guess if it gets you, that's the only thing that gets you there. (11:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I guess but why not use more i mean there's diminishing returns i guess also you might die, (11:07):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: sleep is for the weak caffeine lets me power through anything do i need to even (11:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: respond to this shit sleep is for the weak i don't know i think a person who (11:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: thinks in that way is just fucked because it's too far gone caffeine may let (11:24):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you power through anything power, (11:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: through the ground into your grave too probably energy drinks and pre-workouts (11:31):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: with high caffeine content are great for focus and max intensity. (11:35):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: You know, they probably are, but you know what's also great for focus and intensity, (11:39):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: building your focus and intensity. (11:43):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: That's just me though. You know, I've been very strict, kind of strict in my (11:46):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: life with thinking these kinds of things like, oh, just don't do it. You're a pussy ball. (11:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But you know what, man, living in life, seeing how other people live, (11:54):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I'm becoming a bit more lax with this kind of stuff just because I think, (11:59):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: hey man, if you're literally not going to focus, you're just not fucking going (12:03):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: to, not going to bother without caffeine, then whatever. Fucking use it if it helps you out. (12:08):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Whatever gets you there. If you want to pay the cost, whatever, that's fine. (12:13):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I would just recommend trying to develop this stuff from within first so that you always have it. (12:18):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But you know what? If you don't feel like you can generate that, (12:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: then you can go for the other stuff. Skintism stats. (12:26):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Over 80% of adults worldwide consume caffeine daily. I thought it'd be more, (12:31):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: but yeah, that makes total sense. (12:36):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: The safe daily dose, I don't know what the fuck safe daily dose means. (12:38):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I guess you can overdose, right? The safe daily dose for healthy adults is generally (12:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: considered up to 400 milligrams, so four cups of brewed coffee. (12:46):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I assume if you're bigger, you can take a bit more, just like with alcohol and food and all that. (12:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Stats that I don't like, but they exist, so I'll say it. (12:55):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Caffeine consistently improves exercise performance, especially endurance, (12:59):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: when consumed in doses of three to six milligrams per kilogram of body weight. (13:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So between 200 and 400 for most adults, or maybe higher, honestly. (13:07):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: About 45 to 60 minutes before exercise so if (13:13):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you plan the pre that's the point of pre-workout pre-workout does (13:15):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: help i just personally think if you (13:19):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: need pre-workout and you won't exercise without it you're doing (13:22):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: yourself a disservice by not building up the fucking will to just exercise because (13:25):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you want to that's me though i personally do think those uh pre-workout guys (13:30):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: are fucking weird though like at the gym it looks like you're like you're a (13:35):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: fucking cokehead sometimes like oh I am putting my powder and my shit in the (13:39):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: corner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's fucking weird. (13:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But whatever gets you there. Whatever. (13:44):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Caffeine disrupts sleep in all forms. (13:47):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: As in, it leads to later sleep, shorter duration, poorer quality, (13:51):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: and less restorative sleep. (13:56):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So not great, to be honest. (13:59):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And this one's interesting. Caffeine has more pronounced cardiovascular side (14:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: effects in kids, duh teens duh let me take this off. (14:06):
undefined
Speaker2: Yeah this uh this wig (14:11):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I wear for the devil's advocate sections I think I'm getting too comfortable (14:12):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: with it I forgot to take it off but yeah kids teens. (14:15):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Cardiovascular side effects are more pronounced and also some (14:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: ethnic groups interesting i'm not going to click (14:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: which ones because i'm not trying to be taken off on (14:25):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: any platforms for racism or whatever so all (14:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: right caffeine can be helpful but the way most people use them it's not you (14:33):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: know not ideal and this applies to a lot of stuff i talk about like (14:36):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: these things they're tools you can use them in certain ways (14:39):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: that are helpful but most people don't know how to use this shit properly so (14:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: it's fucked up so how can you use caffeine in (14:45):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: a way that does not fuck you up a couple different ways stick (14:49):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: to under 400 milligrams a day under you (14:52):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: know it does a safe dose and even less if (14:56):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you're sensitive in the heart if you're pregnant or whatever (14:58):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: obviously if you need to use caffeine (15:01):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: for fitness time it correctly and don't you know rely (15:04):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: on it as the only thing that gets you into the gym and the (15:07):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: big one the one that affects your sleep your your hunger and your (15:10):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: overall health because honestly if your sleep and your (15:13):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: eating are fucked up you're just fucked entirely (15:16):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: your energy is completely fucked up biggest one is (15:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: to avoid caffeine about six to eight (15:22):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: hours before your bedtime i think (15:26):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: caffeine has a half-life of four to six hours (15:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: or something so after that then it starts it gets (15:32):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: like less like half the potency or whatever and then (15:35):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: it starts you know diminishing from there whatever the science (15:37):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: is but yeah just stop like eight hours before just. (15:40):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Stop and you should be good if (15:43):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you're just fatigued in general just fucking tired i wouldn't (15:47):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: use caffeine as a crutch either i would look at your life like are you eating (15:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: shit foods that don't give you energy are you sleeping properly enough to restore (15:54):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: yourself to have energy if not i would look there before you start with your (15:58):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: coffee addiction and if you're gonna get coffee i would get it just straight up. (16:03):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Black or with milk sugar whatever the hell you want like the you (16:08):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: know kind of a basic one or maybe you can get it from your caffeine (16:11):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: from tea or something but I would highly highly recommend against getting like (16:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you know the fucking coffee parfait stuff the milkshakes whatever personally (16:19):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I like the smell of coffee is great but the taste is so if I I don't know if you can even enjoy that, (16:25):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: coffee milkshake stuff that's that's just a difference of (16:32):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: taste between us but in general know (16:35):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: it's just i i wouldn't i wouldn't do that the cow (16:38):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: the calorie bond is not worth it for me but if it tastes good enough to be worth (16:41):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: it to you okay and also what can cause some fatigue is stress so try to get (16:44):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: your life to chill out although if you're an adult and you got shit to do then (16:51):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: it's gonna be it's gonna be tough but you know try that before caffeine that's my point. (16:55):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Anyway write the comments are you a coffee addict are you (17:01):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: a monster energy drink addict monster tastes pretty good i'm not gonna (17:05):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: lie i haven't had it in a few years but it tastes pretty good especially (17:07):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: that orange one jesus christ i used (17:10):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: to like red bull a lot too i forgot it existed until right now i remember thinking (17:13):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: this is what apple soda would taste like if it existed which it probably does (17:18):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: that's how they get you with the caffeine they make the make it taste pretty (17:22):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: good i mean of course it's kind of mostly sugary trash but anyway let me know (17:25):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: do you have a do you have Addiction? (17:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: What's your favorite caffeinated drink? (17:31):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: If you say black coffee, well, good for you. If you say monster energy drink, God help you. (17:35):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: You're not going to make it. All right, see you next time. (17:41):
undefined
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Because, you know, I don't know, they don't get enough sleep or something. (00:33):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Personally, I never understood the appeal of coffee or getting caffeine through coffee. (00:36):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I think most coffee drinkers behave like, you know, addicts. (00:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Like, oh, I need my, I need my coffee. I need my coffee. (00:46):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I like the smell of coffee a lot, but I just, I don't, I don't drink it. (00:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Cause, well, I don't like, I don't like caffeine. That's basically it. (00:54):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And that's what I'm talking about today. (00:58):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Now, scientifically speaking, yeah, caffeine is a natural stimulant. (01:01):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: It can help you out. Blah, blah, blah. (01:05):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: It appears in tea and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. (01:08):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And a little bit can help you out. Sure. I'm talking about those fucking addicts, though. (01:13):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: The people who need their coffee in the morning. They need pre-workout to exercise. (01:17):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: They need their energy drink. Like, a friend of mine listens to this, (01:22):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: and hopefully he's not upset me sharing this, but it's funny. (01:27):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I remember he had a monster energy drink addiction. (01:30):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I'm talking, like, cans in various places. If he didn't get them, (01:34):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: he would have withdrawals. (01:39):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: That shit's funny. But obviously, it's not good, right? Like, (01:41):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: yeah, the caffeine, you know, dig a bit of caffeine in the morning. (01:45):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Oh, you're ready. You're alert for your day, whatever. (01:47):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Me, personally, I'm a fucking weirdo. I like (01:49):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: making things harder just brute forcing them because I'm fucking fucked (01:52):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: up like when I lost 100 pounds I (01:56):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: didn't use liposuction use weight loss drugs didn't get (01:59):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: a gastric bypass whatever whatever else can help make that much easier during (02:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: college I just just was awkward you know I didn't have alcohol as a social lubricant (02:06):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I just was fucking awkward and try to work my way through that and also in college (02:12):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you know where everyone else was doing their essays, (02:17):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: the night before with fucking Adderall. (02:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I was over here planning my days. (02:22):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Like, how the fuck did you guys do it so quickly? Turns out it was drugs. (02:24):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I just don't want any fucking help with stuff that I need to accomplish, if that makes sense. (02:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And by that, I mean physically, kind of. (02:34):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Obviously, technology, help me out, please. For example, editing, (02:38):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: all this shit is very helpful with technology. (02:41):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But for me personally, I see caffeine as a way to make yourself more alert, (02:44):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: more focused, whatever. (02:48):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Personally for me i would try to become more focused and alert in general get (02:49):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: better sleep whatever it is but yeah if you want some caffeine whatever it's (02:54):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: not it's not a huge deal but i think there's some people who abuse the shit (02:58):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: out of that and there are some negative side effects to caffeine that especially (03:01):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: if you're trying to lose weight whatever it is it can mess you up, (03:04):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: so let me let me talk about a couple of the good things i guess so a little (03:08):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: bit of caffeine usage like under 400 milligrams a day for adults. (03:12):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: It can actually, you know, get you in a mood for better performance, (03:17):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: mentally, physically, whatever it is. (03:21):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I remember, I think I've had caffeine. I mean, I had a little bit of coffee (03:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: when I was a kid, I think. Maybe it was decaf, I don't know. (03:27):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But in my adult life, past like age 22 or whatever, I think I've only had like (03:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: an actual dose of caffeine, I think twice. (03:36):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Twice being gym related. First time, I think it was bang? No, it was C4 energy. (03:40):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So I had that at the gym. And this is at the beginning when I was working at (03:48):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Blink Fitness as a personal trainer. I remember taking C4 and then exercising. (03:52):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I was feeling like, you know, pretty normal. And then I got a call. (03:56):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I was, I remember I was sitting in the leg extension machine at a call from (04:00):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: a client who was basically canceling last minute or rescheduling, whatever. (04:04):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I'm like, I mean, I'm obviously like, okay. (04:07):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And after that, I'm like, I'm like so fucking annoyed because that, (04:11):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: that completely botched my plans for the rest of the day. (04:13):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Because you know, when you have a schedule, you move things around and blah, blah, blah. (04:16):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So when that happened, I was really upset. So to this day, I don't know if that (04:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: feeling of like just powering through exercising was from anger from that moment, (04:24):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: or that's exactly when the C4 kicked in. (04:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I have no clue, but I was, I was a fucking beast in that moment on that machine. So I don't know. (04:31):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And then the second time, this was a couple of years later when I worked at (04:39):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Equinox, I tried bang energy drink. I think I took a sip or two. (04:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I don't think I had the whole thing. I took a sip or two and I felt like I was (04:47):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: going to die. I was just like, oh my God, why do I feel like this? (04:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So my caffeine tolerance is just all, all the way low. (04:54):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So maybe I'm not one to talk with this, right? But personally, (04:58):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I just don't really like the feeling of caffeine. (05:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I even used to drink the Celsius drink, which has a pretty low amount of caffeine in it. (05:04):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Even that I'm like, eh, I don't know. So I kind of stopped drinking that anyway. (05:09):
undefined
Speaker1: I don't know. (05:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Caffeine is just weird. It's kind of like alcohol for me. I fucking hate alcohol, (05:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: which I will do a whole episode on very soon, actually, which people are going to get mad at. (05:18):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But anyway, alcohol, I just don't like it. It's I think in my entire life, (05:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: in terms of alcoholic beverages, I've had like half of a can of beer worth in (05:27):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: my entire 33 years of living. (05:31):
undefined
Speaker2: But that's to say, (05:33):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: There's this flavor of ice cream called bourbon vanilla. And I was asking the (05:34):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: guy a while ago when I tried this. (05:39):
undefined
Speaker2: Like, hey, what do you mean bourbon (05:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Vanilla like it's all as some part of it is there's bourbon (05:43):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: involved in part of it but it's basically evaporated out and you can't (05:46):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: taste it i'm like oh okay i tasted it twice i'm (05:49):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: like i can taste the fucking alcohol i'm not a fan and i it's kind of like caffeine (05:52):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: now it's like i can i can tell there's caffeine in this is weird i don't know (05:57):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: i'm not a fan personally i know other people are like i love the jittery feeling (06:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: yes it's life it's energy but for me i'm like it's fucking weird, (06:06):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: so here's the thing if you have i don't know your life sucks you're a (06:11):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: parent or whatever you have you have to be you have to be awake but (06:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you got no sleep do what you got to do i guess i don't (06:17):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: know if you don't have the option of sleeping early for some reason (06:19):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: whatever but just know it's (06:22):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: not fucking great and here's here are my (06:25):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: main issues with caffeine with how it relates to you know (06:28):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: weight loss and stuff first of all let's get this out of the way the shit at (06:30):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: starbucks dunkin donuts the the coffee parfaits the caffeine parfaits that that's (06:34):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: fucked up i'm wondering if i should call this episode caffeine or just coffee (06:38):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: so i have room to talk about and bitch about energy drinks and other shit later (06:41):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: i don't know we'll see how i feel probably just just gonna be caffeine. (06:45):
undefined
Speaker1: Yeah, the whole, you know, (06:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Coffee parfaits that you get at these places, it's like, hey, (06:52):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: man, that's like borderline ice cream. Now, if you want it because it tastes good, have fun, right? (06:55):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But if you want a coffee, you want a caffeine pick-me-up, whatever, (07:00):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: and that's what you go for, that's fucked up. (07:04):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Not ideal, is what I'll say for you. Because that thing is probably, (07:07):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I don't know, 300, 400, possibly 800 calories I've seen some places. (07:12):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And when you drink your calories in general It's not great Because you're not (07:17):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: as full If it's going to be that many Then you know You're just sabotaging yourself (07:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: at that point Not to mention the sugar addiction Whatever that you're getting yourself on, (07:28):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But yeah just that Those calorie bombs are just completely fucked up If we're (07:33):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: talking about coffee and weight loss Like I said do what you want If it tastes (07:37):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: great And you're like yeah 500 calories It's worth it Fucking do it, (07:41):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: If you're trying to lose weight and you just want a bit of caffeine, (07:47):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: that is like, that's the last thing I'd recommend for you. (07:49):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Fucking Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts stuff. (07:53):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So that's not great by itself, right? (07:56):
undefined
Speaker2: Now let's talk about the sleep thing. (07:58):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So caffeine, it obviously suppresses your tiredness and that keeps you up longer, right? (08:00):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But you probably didn't know. You might know actually if you're a coffee drinker, (08:09):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: which you probably are because most people are. (08:12):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Caffeine also suppresses your hunger a bit too which you think would be awesome right, (08:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: super helpful with weight loss but that effect is mild and temporary of course, (08:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: so you might just suppress and then later you're like oh my god I'm really hungry (08:27):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: and then maybe you overeat so that's not great it's kind of hiding the natural (08:30):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: hunger that you have so obviously depending on how much caffeine you have so (08:35):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: that's not great in my opinion, (08:40):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Going back to the sleep, it hides your sleep. So then later you get a crash, (08:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: right? But sometimes the damage is already done. (08:48):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: You're not going to get enough sleep. You're going to get like five hours instead (08:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: of eight that you should be getting. (08:53):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And when you don't get enough sleep, you get under, I think it's under six or (08:55):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: five hours or something. What happens the next day. (08:58):
undefined
Speaker2: Is that your (09:01):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Hunger hormone in your body called ghrelin. (09:02):
undefined
Speaker2: Which I hate (09:05):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: The name of, it sounds like a gremlin goblin that goes into fucking overdrive (09:06):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: the next day and makes you like 25 to 40% hungrier. (09:10):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So think about it. You're drinking coffee one day in the afternoon. (09:16):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: You stay up, you not only fuck up your sleep, but then the next day you're hungry (09:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: as fuck and you're probably going to overeat, fucking up your weight loss all (09:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: because you needed that goddamn caffeine. (09:27):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Now there's a way to get, to get around this. And that's obviously, (09:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you know, drinking coffee or coffee earlier in the day, but you can see the issue, right? (09:32):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: If this affects your sleep, it's going to affect your, your eating habits. (09:36):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: It's going to affect your weight loss can affect your health obviously if (09:39):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you're a responsible caffeine user this probably won't happen (09:43):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: to you but if you're a coffee addict it's probably happened to (09:45):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you devil's advocate time caffeine is (09:48):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: natural and safe it's in coffee so you can't really overdose i think that's (09:52):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: not true you can overdose on anything including water so shut up water is also (09:56):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: natural and safe also that feeling i had when i when i drank part of that bang (10:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: if i drank the whole can i might have overduces. (10:06):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: People have different caffeine tolerances, and I'm assuming if you drink, (10:11):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: like, I don't know, 10 cans of Bang, you're going to die. (10:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So I don't think this is true. I mean, maybe what I just said wasn't true, (10:17):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: but it sure as fuck felt like it. So that's dumb. (10:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: It's the best fat burner and workout booster. Why not use more? (10:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Because when they say fat burner, what that's doing is basically making your (10:26):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: body feel like, oh, my God, my, my, what's it called? (10:30):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: The, I forget what they're called, the fat somethings. they start becoming more (10:34):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: active and available for you to use during exercise, which means, (10:38):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: they're essentially encouraging you to exercise so that you can then, (10:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you know, burn some, burn some calories, build muscle to burn calories at rest. (10:46):
undefined
Speaker1: Stuff like that. That's what it means (10:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: By fat burner. It's not just you take it and then your body just burns the fat (10:51):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: off of your fucking skin. It's not what happens. (10:54):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And workout booster. Well, if you're lazy as shit and you need pre-workout, (10:57):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: then I don't know, whatever, I guess if it gets you, that's the only thing that gets you there. (11:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I guess but why not use more i mean there's diminishing returns i guess also you might die, (11:07):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: sleep is for the weak caffeine lets me power through anything do i need to even (11:14):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: respond to this shit sleep is for the weak i don't know i think a person who (11:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: thinks in that way is just fucked because it's too far gone caffeine may let (11:24):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you power through anything power, (11:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: through the ground into your grave too probably energy drinks and pre-workouts (11:31):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: with high caffeine content are great for focus and max intensity. (11:35):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: You know, they probably are, but you know what's also great for focus and intensity, (11:39):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: building your focus and intensity. (11:43):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: That's just me though. You know, I've been very strict, kind of strict in my (11:46):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: life with thinking these kinds of things like, oh, just don't do it. You're a pussy ball. (11:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But you know what, man, living in life, seeing how other people live, (11:54):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I'm becoming a bit more lax with this kind of stuff just because I think, (11:59):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: hey man, if you're literally not going to focus, you're just not fucking going (12:03):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: to, not going to bother without caffeine, then whatever. Fucking use it if it helps you out. (12:08):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Whatever gets you there. If you want to pay the cost, whatever, that's fine. (12:13):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I would just recommend trying to develop this stuff from within first so that you always have it. (12:18):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But you know what? If you don't feel like you can generate that, (12:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: then you can go for the other stuff. Skintism stats. (12:26):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Over 80% of adults worldwide consume caffeine daily. I thought it'd be more, (12:31):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: but yeah, that makes total sense. (12:36):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: The safe daily dose, I don't know what the fuck safe daily dose means. (12:38):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I guess you can overdose, right? The safe daily dose for healthy adults is generally (12:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: considered up to 400 milligrams, so four cups of brewed coffee. (12:46):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I assume if you're bigger, you can take a bit more, just like with alcohol and food and all that. (12:50):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Stats that I don't like, but they exist, so I'll say it. (12:55):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Caffeine consistently improves exercise performance, especially endurance, (12:59):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: when consumed in doses of three to six milligrams per kilogram of body weight. (13:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So between 200 and 400 for most adults, or maybe higher, honestly. (13:07):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: About 45 to 60 minutes before exercise so if (13:13):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you plan the pre that's the point of pre-workout pre-workout does (13:15):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: help i just personally think if you (13:19):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: need pre-workout and you won't exercise without it you're doing (13:22):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: yourself a disservice by not building up the fucking will to just exercise because (13:25):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you want to that's me though i personally do think those uh pre-workout guys (13:30):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: are fucking weird though like at the gym it looks like you're like you're a (13:35):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: fucking cokehead sometimes like oh I am putting my powder and my shit in the (13:39):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: corner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's fucking weird. (13:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: But whatever gets you there. Whatever. (13:44):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Caffeine disrupts sleep in all forms. (13:47):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: As in, it leads to later sleep, shorter duration, poorer quality, (13:51):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: and less restorative sleep. (13:56):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: So not great, to be honest. (13:59):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: And this one's interesting. Caffeine has more pronounced cardiovascular side (14:02):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: effects in kids, duh teens duh let me take this off. (14:06):
undefined
Speaker2: Yeah this uh this wig (14:11):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: I wear for the devil's advocate sections I think I'm getting too comfortable (14:12):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: with it I forgot to take it off but yeah kids teens. (14:15):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: Cardiovascular side effects are more pronounced and also some (14:20):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: ethnic groups interesting i'm not going to click (14:23):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: which ones because i'm not trying to be taken off on (14:25):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: any platforms for racism or whatever so all (14:29):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: right caffeine can be helpful but the way most people use them it's not you (14:33):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: know not ideal and this applies to a lot of stuff i talk about like (14:36):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: these things they're tools you can use them in certain ways (14:39):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: that are helpful but most people don't know how to use this shit properly so (14:42):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: it's fucked up so how can you use caffeine in (14:45):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: a way that does not fuck you up a couple different ways stick (14:49):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: to under 400 milligrams a day under you (14:52):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: know it does a safe dose and even less if (14:56):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: you're sensitive in the heart if you're pregnant or whatever (14:58):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: obviously if you need to use caffeine (15:01):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: for fitness time it correctly and don't you know rely (15:04):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: on it as the only thing that gets you into the gym and the (15:07):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: big one the one that affects your sleep your your hunger and your (15:10):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: overall health because honestly if your sleep and your (15:13):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: eating are fucked up you're just fucked entirely (15:16):
undefined
Kevin Tejada: your energy is completely fucked up biggest one is (15:20):
