Change Your Diet, Change Your Life – With Coupe

Coupe is a plant-based nutritionist, personal trainer, entrepreneur and father, who altered his life in radical ways when he became a personal trainer. 
 
After experimenting with different foods, practice and diets, Coupe became convinced that plant-based nutrition is the way forward for the human race, and has been evangelising upon its incredible properties ever since. It’s a journey that’s ongoing, and a message that’s connected with everyone he meets.
 
Coupe joins Steven this week to discuss the reasons why this lifestyle works and what it can do for you.
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS
 
Water fasting is the practice by where all food and beverages are replaced with water only, for a specific (usually extended) period of time.
 
When it’s missing from the diet, people soon realise that it isn’t meat they miss. What they really miss are the flavours, such as barbecue and tomato, all of which are plant-based.
 
One of the main differences that you notice when embarking on a plant-based diet, is that your energy levels increase substantially, and your sleep is profoundly affected for the better.
 
Wheat contains gluten, and gluten contains morphine, which is an opiate derivative. When your body begins to crave wheat products, such as bread and pasta, it is this opiate derivative that it wants.
 
A good way to break a coffee addiction is to first research the harmful effects for yourself so that you are armed with the right knowledge, then replace it with something like chlorella or spirulina.
 
There’s a huge difference between eating for nutrition and eating to fill our stomachs. Fruits hydrate and are nutrient rich. They also prevent disease. There is a theory that suggests it may be in the interests of corporations and pharmaceutical companies to withhold certain nutrients in order to make us spend on costly cures.
 
Animals get huge amounts of protein from plants. Some then get protein from the animals. Coupe recommends cutting out the middle man and getting the plant protein yourself. That way you won’t get all the additives and bad ingredients caused when processing meat.
 
Lifting external weights for fitness causes your muscles to shorten. Using your own body weight for training causes your muscles to elongate, which is more ideal.
 
BEST MOMENTS
 
‘Your knowledge left a lasting impact on me’
 
’That’s when my voice becomes a little bit louder’
 
‘How can I tell people how to diet, if I’ve never tried that diet myself?’
 
‘I’m basically breaking the chain of mental slavery'
 
‘I like taking on new knowledge’
 
‘Do I want to look strong, or be strong?’
 
‘Happiness is a state of consciousness'

ABOUT THE HOST
 
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
 
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
 
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
