Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, I am shook. I have just watched something with
an expert who has said, the first place we put
on weight, the first sign that you're going to put
on weight is a part of our body. Can we
guess which part of our body would put on weight first?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Fat pads in the knee. I'm just trying to be
different if it's a shock because you're saying, we're surprised.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Most people think tummy, right, visceral fat, yeah, little black
fat or little the love handles, That's what I thought
first boots. Yeah. In women definitely, especially around that perimenopause menopause,
we get big boobies.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yes, that's right, that might be the first place that
it goes to.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
You were both incorrect, right. The first place humans put
on weighty is their tongue.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Really okay?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
So I saw this on Mel Robbins coming to Australia soon.
She's talking to an expert bird about fat and weight loss,
and he dropped this nugget of mind blowing information. I'd
never heard it before.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Listen to this.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
The first place anybody starts the gain body fat is
in the tongue. The human tongue is bit of three parts.
You got the tip of the tongue, which is like
a circuslate acrobat. You got the middle of the tongue
which is really strong, packed with muscle yep. And the
back of the tongue is a big fat pillow, a

(01:29):
pillow of fat.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Third of it is all fat to allow food that
you've chewed up to slide all the way back down
into your stomach. Okay. And so the back of your
tongue is mostly visceral fat. And when you gain weight
and start to grow extra body fat, one of the
first places that it grows is in the back of
your tongue.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Is that not mind blowing? And that's what causes snoring.
So he goes on to say, if your partner didn't
snore and starts to snare, then you need to be
asking them how are they going with this visceral fat
and then work on that. Isn't that phenomenal? And I'm
just like, this is a new emerging business. You know
how my brain works. I'm entrepreneurial. Instead of forty five,

(02:10):
I'm doing T forty five.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
You know what I want to see before and after picture.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
I can't exactly tone your tongue in ten days and
I'm going to make tiny little spanks for your tongue tongs.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
I'm wondering something.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
You can't have a conversation.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
If you go to the gym and you see people
licking dumbells.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
I'm not quite sure how

Speaker 1 (02:31):
You do it.
