English Lesson - LIVE | Sunday October 7th 2018 | Grammar | Fat Words | Join the Live Chat 8-)

Live from Much Wenlock in England on a Sunday afternoon this is live English

it sure is baby

so here we go it is a Sunday afternoon it's just after 2 o'clock here in the UK

I hope you are well look outside look at the view at the moment here it is a live

view looking outside and can you see something something that looks rather

different yes autumn has definitely arrived you can see already that many of

the leaves are starting to change colour let's have another view shall we over

there oh yes look over there you can see many of the trees many of the leaves are

starting to change their colour as autumn begins and can I just say

yesterday mr. Steve and myself were driving back from seeing Steve's mum and

we noticed that it was getting dark very early yesterday and in a couple of weeks

time we will be altering the clocks the clocks will go back one hour in a few

days time so everything is changing autumn is the season of change so I

always think that autumn is the reverse of spring so autumn is kind of the

reverse it's where everything goes back to sleep

whereas spring is the time when everything comes to life so there it is

a live view outside the window right now it's a lovely day here we've got lots of

sunshine and also we have lots of things to talk about because we are here on the

live stream yes hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England how are you today are

you okay I hope so are you happy I really really hope so here we go again

how has your week been has it been a good week has it been a happy week or

has it been a hectic week it's been a very busy week here because this tie

of year is always a very busy period for myself and also mr. Steve as well in his

work he has a very busy time during the the last three months of the year so

normally at this time of the year it's fairly busy for mr. Steve do you like

this I'm using a glass today now normally normally I drink from a bottle

but I'm being very civilized today do you like it I'm drinking from a glass

today because some people complained about me slurping from a water bottle so

here we go today I am being very refined very cultured

very civilized with my glass of water I am so thirsty today it's really really

hot here in the studio hmm oh that's lovely

delicious so I hope you're well today lots of things to talk about today we

will be talking about one subject in particular which is a subject that is

talked about a lot in this country and maybe where you are as well and that is

the rather sensitive subject of wait wait how heavy a person is how large

they are now for those who have been watching over the past few weeks you

will have noticed that mr. Steve has been making some comments about my

weight so I have decided I have decided to take some action I am going to start

a diet yes! mr. Duncan we can't believe it yes I'm going to start a diet I'm

going to start eating less junk because sometimes when I'm here preparing my

lessons doing my editing sometimes I get a little bit restless and I have to have

something do whilst working by the computer so I

do often eat snacks whilst I'm working and this is something that I'm going to

stop doing I'm going to cut out the snacks so this is something I'm starting

today from today I am going to start my big diet I am going to get rid of my big

belly and become a little bit more healthy so

that's what I'm doing today and we will be talking about that later on as well

mr. Steve will be here at around about 2:30 with lots of words lots of phrases

connected to the word 'fat' do you know anyone who is overweight or unhealthy

because they eat too much food between you and me I think I'm becoming that

type of person I think that is actually happening to me

because sometimes when I'm walking up the hills when I'm going down the road

when I'm doing some exercise I find sometimes that I get very out of breath

I can't catch my breath and I think that might have something to do with my big

belly so I'm going to try and lose some weight and that's something that I'm

determined to do between now and the end of the year now normally people make

resolutions and plans at the end of the year but I've decided to do something

rather different and I'm going to do my resolution I'm going to carry out my

resolution before the end of the year so that's something I'm planning to do so

all of that coming later on there is something else as well that I should be

doing I feel as if there's something else I should be doing what is it

I wonder there is something I should be doing yes we have the live chat and

in Paris at the moment it's raining in Paris we are having lovely weather can I

just make you all jealous now by showing you the view from the window look at

that it looks incredibly or Terminal look it's that out the window that's

incredible look at that you can really tell that autumn has arrived because

many of the trees are already starting to to change the colour of their leaves

as they absorb all the energy from the leaves so they can survive the winter

that is the reason why they lose their leaves and we have the live chat oh it's

very busy today on the live chat I must say Abdulla says I need to speak a

language with a friend do you mean English is that the language you're

talking about yes winter is definitely coming

we have autumn and then winter but the big question is will we get any snow

this year because last winter it was incredible we had so much snow mr.

Duncan how are you feeling today Thank You Pedro

I'm feeling super duper thank you even though during the week I had a very rude

comment from someone do you want to see the rude comment that I receive this

week here it is someone called stilt three days ago

asked a very interesting question will someone tell this guy why people keep

smacking him in the teeth well that's not very nice is it

well what a horrible person that that that individual must be but no no people

don't come up to me in the street and hit me in the teeth you'll be amazed how

many people come up to me and say hello how are you nice to see you but they

never they never smacked me in the teeth I think you must be confusing me with

someone else so there we go so not all of my messages

are nice messages sometimes I get a little bit of hate coming through on my

comments but thank you very much most of my comments most of the comments that

appear on my videos are nice comments so that's okay also Belarus series here

also we have Palmyra hello today to you I have no idea how to

be first on the live chat can I just give you a tip

give you a good tip if you want to be first on the live chat you have to be

very fast with your finger so when you click the button you have to

be very quick you have to beat all the rest you do so it's all about having

very quick fingers another look at the live chat mr. Duncan when will you visit

Indonesia Thank You nanny for that and can I say a big hello to everyone

watching in Indonesia some some terrible pictures coming through on the news at

the moment of the the devastating earthquake and also tsunami that took

place there last week mr. Duncan smack is the sound of a kiss

well yes smack can mean many things so smack can be a loud kiss or smack can

mean punch or hit so if you hit someone we can say that you smack them you smack

them you might smack them in the face or in the teeth

and of course as you just said smack can also mean a big wet kiss hello

Alonso Alonso and also hello to Michelle and also Wilson

hello Wilson I ate fleas can you talk to us like a posh guy do you mean me oh

okay then maybe later yes I already voted this is the first thing that I did

today so Pedro has already voted but please don't tell us who you voted for

because it's always a kind of private thing I always think people always ask

me who do I vote for I'm often asked mr. Duncan did you vote for brexit or did

you vote against brexit I get asked that one quite a few times to be honest

I am getting like I fall more and more apparently I'm starting to grow old

when you say fall do you mean fail I'm not sure if you mean fail or fall thank

you very much for that though do you know anyone who is overweight maybe you

are a little overweight yourself I know I am I have been putting a lot of weight

on recently I have a very big stomach and I'm determined to lose that stomach

over the next few weeks very very sure of that I'm very sure of that shall we

take a look at one of my full English lessons yes just as the screen goes

wrong let's have a look at one of my full English lessons that sounds like a

good idea doesn't it come on what's happening can we have can we have

control of my computer back please thank you very much yes let's have a look at

one of my full English lessons and this is a lesson that is all about attention

span do you have a short attention span how long can you watch something how

long can you sit in front of something how long can you watch my live stream do

you have a long attention span or do you have a short attention span?

it's time to take a look at another buzzword a buzzword is a sentence or

word that is in common use during a certain time or is seen as being popular

today's buzz word is attention span this phrase relates to the amount of time a

person can concentrate on one thing this can relate to a task or an activity a

person's attention span is measured by how long they can concentrate on doing

one thing we often talk about the short attention span of young people the

various attractions and distractions that exist nowadays has led to a belief

that people are beginning to develop short attention spans the advent of

instant digital media and online streaming allows people to view many

things within a short space of time it would appear that these days people grow

bored easily as more choices means that they can swap and change what they are

watching in a more convenient way the term short attention span highlights the

inability to concentrate on just one thing it would appear that more and more

people are unable to concentrate for long periods of time due to having short

attention spans what about you?

do you have a short attention span or a long one how long can you watch my live

English lessons for

doot-doot here we go it's Sunday afternoon it is the 7th of October I

haven't even mentioned that there is a new month yes we are now into October of

course at the end of this month I will be celebrating another milestone of my

YouTube activity I will be celebrating my 12th year on YouTube I know it seems

unbelievable because we see a lot of people now on YouTube who have been on

for three years or four years and they get a lot of publicity and people talk

about them but many people now forget all about the YouTube publishers like me

who have been on for many many years so I started doing this way back in 2006

and this year it will be my 12th year on YouTube making videos which is an

interesting thing because I want to show you something now this is one of the

first videos that I made after returning to England because we are talking about

something very interesting today we're talking about being fat or overweight

mr. Steve will be here in a few moments to talk about the same subject and also

words connected to words connected to oh thank you Steve

did you see Steve then he just came onto the camera...so are you fat?

hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England how are you today

are you fat are you overweight maybe that seems like a very personal

question to ask but these days it seems that everybody is talking about weight am

i two fat am i overweight am i unhealthy these are the questions that

many people find themselves asking especially in the Western world since

returning to England from China I've noticed that people in the UK tend to

have a very bad diet fatty foods snack foods crisps biscuits chocolate many

people seem to enjoy eating this type of food me included since arriving back in

the UK I have managed to gain two stone in weight during my time in China

I weighed around nine and a half stone now I weigh eleven and a half stone and

that is since coming back to England I've noticed that the things I eat here

in England are more unhealthy because it's easier to buy these things and we

have supermarkets nowadays here in the UK huge supermarkets and inside there is

a multitude of choice when it comes to eating there are many different types of

food vegetables are available in supermarkets but if you look around you

will see that the vegetables are very much outnumbered by all the instant

snack foods that are now available it's very interesting when I look around if I

walk around the street every day I seem to see overweight people people who are

carrying too much weight and yet people are still getting fatter

even though we are quite well educated and we are told constantly about the

dangers of overeating another interesting thing that's happened this

year is the ban on smoking in public places

in the UK it's now illegal to smoke within a public place such as a bar or

restaurant on a bus in lifts so people are now beginning to smoke less but it

seems as if they're filling that gap with food so instead of smoking

themselves to death they're now eating themselves to death I think these days

television provides a good outlet for putting across a message about staying

healthy but television also gives across a mixed message we have programs like

this clearly promoting a healthy lifestyle but in between the programs we

have commercials advertising products such as snack foods for example crisps

and chocolate which contribute towards the problem of obesity so what is going

on would you describe yourself as healthy would you describe yourself as a

person who is healthy a person who takes exercise would you describe yourself as

a person who is health-conscious or would you say that you are lazy would

you say that you eat too much I'm guessing most of your answers would

point towards the latter so what can we do I don't know I have no idea but

there's one thing I do know I'm going to try and take better care of myself

another interesting fact a the way attitude towards obesity has

changed over the years during the 18th century here in England

it was considered fashionable to be overweight here in England we considered

being overweight to sign of wealth but nowadays of course we look at being

obese is a sign of poverty as a sign of a person who doesn't take care of

themselves and may be lazy so I think here in the UK we have come forward a

little but not very far as I walk around the streets here in England I can still

see many people who are not only fat but also people who are getting fatter

clearly the message is not getting across so what can we do I have no idea

and between you and me I don't even think the government know what to do

I guess the simple advice would be the advice that people always give take

regular exercise eat a healthy diet drink less and if you do smoke try to

give it up this is mr. duncan in england saying

stay healthy and bye for now

doop doop do it's glorious day here in the UK and as if by proving it with this

lovely lovely live image so this is a live view now looking out of my studio

window you can see everything is looking very all terminal at the moment and

let's have another view looking a little bit nearer and look yes the leaves are

all changing it is official autumn has arrived and here we go talking of

arrivals here is someone else who's just arrived in the studio you may have you

may have saw you may have seen his arm well now here is the rest of him...

it's mr. Steve hello hello to everybody I haven't done anything yet and you keep clapping me every time I come on

I haven't done anything yet I'm very aware that I've got something on my face

it looks like it looks as if there is something on my face but I tell you what

happened yesterday I actually cut myself shaving I was shaving very quickly

yesterday and I've actually cut my face so for those who are wondering what this

is it isn't mr. Steve he hasn't he hasn't been punching me in the face

being tempted is its very tempted but this for those when you're this is this

is actually a little scratch from from yesterday when I was shaving sure it's

not chocolate it's definitely not chocolate a little piece of chocolate

left on your chin I tried to wipe it off but all it happened as it started to

bleed so it's definitely not that we don't want blood in the studio mr.

Duncan so here we go we're talking about weight today now did you see the video

juice I did I saw a little bit of it and also did you see the video as well that

was made ten years ago that is 10 years ago in fact it's not 10 years ago that

is 11 years ago because that was made in 2007

not long after coming back from China so that video you've just watched

is actually 11 years old you look like you just got off the plane yes I was

looking at I was looking a little bit rough let's have another look at that

let's see if we can get get a little bit of that up on the screen just do just to

see what what I actually look I can either just stepped off off a long-haul

flight or you just got out of bed let's have a look so there I am oh dear yes I

see what you mean you've got very big sideburns did well you know you know

eleven years ago my hair was not grey so my hair has gone quite white and grey

now but there I am 11 years ago so that was one of my very early YouTube videos

after returning from China so just after moving back to the UK and yes I I do

look younger and slimmer very slim there because you'd been starving yourself

doing lots of exercise in China so that's me 11 years ago

you look very scruffy mr. Duncan I look very untidy but also very young you see

when you're young you can actually get away with looking scruffy so if you look

a little bit scruffy or a little bit untidy when you're young it doesn't

really matter especially nowadays because you see lots of young people

with beards and long hair and sometimes their clothes are torn it doesn't matter

because it's fashionable but if you're dressed like that and if you appear like

that when you're older you just look like a tramp

yes because when when a man gets older his beard turns grey and you can't have

unkempt hair you can't a gray beard and looking at you just look it and ages you

straight over right Oh be shy you were say that I'm not shy I'm not shy I'll go

anywhere mr. Duncan you know me I have to stop we've noticed that so a couple

of things we're talking about today being fat so I'm going to try I'm being

fat being fat well I I'm a little fat you can you keep

mentioning let's say it's a bit unkind to use the word fat okay that's so so

what what are the other words there's a rate you can say overweight the rate

a person can be overweight or fat fat it is is almost in well it's a nasty word

if you say to someone you're fat but you know there are many uses of the word fat

in English I know I know that and we are going to take a look at those in a few

moments but I know what you want to do Steve what's that I know what you want

to do eat some chocolate no you want to low the live chat do you want to look at

the live chat don't you live fat yeah it sounds very much like the live chat a

live chat not the live well the live fat is my stomach so maybe that's the live

fat are you going to me I've got you're going to make a bit of a pledge today

aren't you mr. doe I've already done that

oh yes didn't didn't you watch me no I was preparing for this lesson by looking

up examples of the word fat I did words with fat phrases with fat in it I do

like the fact that Steve doesn't watch the live stream well I'm usually working

beforehand pedra wants to know where am I I think he means where's my next

landmark where am i what country am I going to appear in we're not doing that

we're not doing that today we're not doing that today not today we didn't

have time not today Steve is busy I'm busy we didn't have time today I'm

afraid but next week I promise we will be I will be either in another part of

England or either in another part of the world or even the UK you could be

anywhere in the UK anywhere in the UK you could be anywhere in the world and I

I probably will be because you know week we couldn't afford it this week we

couldn't afford it this week because as you know I went to I went to Russia one

week then I went to America and then the budget was cut and I had to go to

somewhere in the UK which was stratford-upon-avon last week you went

to Shakespeare's birthplace last week and this this week I only had I only had

enough money to get out of bed and stand here so this week's location is here is

here in the studio this is the okay this is it this is the location live from

Much Wenlock mr. steve is definitely here and so am i and so are you is well

on the live chat parently apparently today in Brazil it is the Election Day

on down Brazil they are voting for a new president wow that must be quite

exciting I wonder who might get in and what the

alternatives are and what people in Brazil will think I don't know I don't

know the answer to any of those questions so Wow look I've been

described as looking fit satury know says satury know says when I was in the

USA there you would they would call a fat person

fatso or tub yes I think a political correctness is well I think it's

prevalent everywhere now but I think stuff I think Europe and the UK is

probably still probably well I wonder we use the word ahead but that sounds like

a positive thing I think we're more conscious of political correctness well

I think one of the problems is now can I just say something I think I think when

I finished I think political correctness is a load of crap

I think it is because the problem is and here's here's just what I think about

this one thing that is offensive to a group of people might not be offensive

to a lot of other people so that's the way I view political correctness so

sometimes I think we can be too sensitive too sensitive about everything

and then we become just on edge all the time

expecting to be offended at any moment when in fact if you walk around the

general public if you talk to people on a day-to-day basis no one really

cares about political correctness they will just say what they think but they

will often also say they will often say oh I shouldn't say that nowadays because

of political correctness so they will actually say something that isn't

politically correct and then they will say I shouldn't say that because it's

not politically correct so but they will still say the thing so they say the

offensive thing or the thing that might be offensive yes and then they correct

themselves so they are still saying it it's not stopping them from saying it or

thinking it I mean how far do you go how far do you go with with controlling what

people say and think I mean maybe in the future we will all have a chip inside

our brains and if we think something that we shouldn't if we think something

that is politically incorrect maybe our brains will explode our heads will will

blow up so all around people will just be exploding all the time because it's

very hard to control what people think it's very hard to control what people

say so I think you either have freedom or you don't have freedom you have no

freedom you can't have freedom on everyone's terms so you can't say oh you

you're free to say that you're free to do that but you're not free to say that

you're not free to do that you either have freedom or you don't

have freedom there it is so you give it or you take it away there is no

in-between and I think that's the general view of most people in their day

to day lives when you walk around in the public so when you're walking in public

places it doesn't really matter because people aren't getting upset they only

get upset on Twitter or Facebook or on the news because they have nothing to

report so they have to fill all of that time with lots of stories and there is a

good way of getting news stories and nets to get people offended it's a great

story you will see this all the time now on

the news everyone is offended I'm offended by that song I'm offended by

that comedian I'm offended by the way you looked at me I'm offended by the

words you used everybody just calm down

have you finished I finished he went off on a bit of a rant there mr. Duncan

wasn't a ram it was a ran it was not around I just think I just think

sometimes we are just too sensitive and and teachers now are being censored so

even in this country now do you did you know that that now teachers are now

prevented from talking about politics in the classroom they've actually been told

they can no longer talk about things like brexit or politics in the classroom

I didn't know that yes for fear of upsetting one of the children or one of

the parents of the children it's crazy we've gone crazy well it is silly to

take it to the extent that you're worried about how everybody will respond

that long as you're not offence if I think I think I think nowadays people

have forgotten what the difference between offensive is and just having

debate yes that's it because you know being offensive is calling someone a

name yes oh oh we're know what you're gonna say then yeah there are certain

words that we can't use there are certain you don't to be literally

offensive but I think if you if it goes too far and then you can't have any

debate or conversation about something is that true teachers can't can't

discuss brexit yeah class recur because children are going home with with

thoughts in their head oh my goodness we can't have children with think with

thoughts in their heads that that can't be happening now stop it

stop letting children learn about politics and and opinions and that's

what's happening now so even the teachers are being told don't do this

don't say that don't say this in the classroom

don't look at that child in that way baby it's crazy it's crazy sometimes you

have to let children learn about things and listen to what is being said

whatever the subject and however bad it might be for example in history you will

learn all about the dark times of humanity and the lighter times as well

and the same thing goes with all the other subjects as well so I think it is

healthy to talk about the things that are unacceptable it is healthy to talk

about the things that probably shouldn't be talked about all the time and that's

it it's healthy it's part of being human I think there you go anyway fatso yes

see it doesn't bother me see I've got a belly I've got a big belly and and I sup

that big Steve calls me fatty or fat so and I don't care it's just a

word you should care because I don't try I'm trying to shock you into losing

weight yes that's fine well I am shocked tired that's what I'm doing today I've

already said that I'm said that I'm going to try and lose some weight before

the end of the year so it's my reverse New Year's resolution people are saying

actually what they're doing to keep fit a lot of people are taking lots of

exercise somebody said that they were walking 10,000 steps a week and all

sorts of things so people are doing a lot it seems to stay fit and to lose

weight I've just noticed Jeff is here hello Jeff we missed you last week 18

stone are you really you don't look it from

the photo you look you don't look you look 18 stone on your photograph hehehe

I think he's joking or maybe you're joking I don't know I

thought I think I think this is something again this is something that

people don't want to talk about but I think we took we should talk about it

I'm talking about my own personal experience of having a little bit of

extra weight and I don't like it I'm I've realized

now that it's starting to affect my health and that scares me that really

does scare me and so I'm going to do something about it that is it what are

you going to do mr. den well I'm going to stop eating junk eating snacks when

I'm on my computer when I'm editing I'm going to stop doing that so I'm I'm

always nibbling eating things so that's when I know healthy things and health

yes of course of course it's unhealthy all snacks are

unhealthy they people don't have snacks and then they just eat a carrot no one

does that no one has a snack and they eat a carrot

or a handful of peas it's always junk kernel has has lost 10 kilograms in two

months and she's very happy which certain congratulations yes that's great

you can do it yes and you don't have to make big changes to your life because

most people put on weight apparently by if you just overeat by just 2 or 300

calories a day yes so that's like a couple of biscuits or something or a

couple of growl or a glass of wine or something like that and it but it just

it's a very gradual thing and then you get used to each stage and then you

might think all these trousers are a bit tight and next time you buy a new pair

of trousers and you just get the next size up and that feels comfortable and

then a year later that feels a bit tight you go buy another pair and it doesn't

doesn't seem like you're putting on much weight but if you get on the scales you

obviously are but it's it's it's realizing and trying to stop it before

it gets too far and you only have to make small changes because they say you

shouldn't it's very unhealthy to lose a lot of weight quickly so that Conell is

just going for a walk maybe made a few minor adjustments to a diet and is

gradually just losing a little bit of weight and I think that's the best way

to do it yes because if you lose go on a crash diet and lose a lot of weight you

might feel better if I do because you're going on holiday and you might want to

look better hmm see they all want to lose a stone well that comes down

holiday that's all motivation because you normally have to

have a goal so it's like doing anything in life if you want to do something you

have to have a goal ahead of you you have to have something that you're

you're reaching towards so then it becomes unhealthy yes because then you

lose too much work that's it but in quickly

yes moderation is everything so you eat in moderation and also you lose weight

in moderation don't do it too quickly so I'm planning to do this over the next

three months before the end of the year I want to lose about one and a half

stone I think I can do that but it means milkie 20-pound it means making some

sacrifices so no junk less less rubbish food less junk food

and more exercise and I think that's it I think that's it really you don't need

miracles at 20 pounds that's about 10 10 11 kilograms something like that yes

yeah that sounds about that that's a that's a reasonable goal it's a smart

goal hmm it's it's it's it's measurable it's achievable yes you know you just

put a time on there as well in which you want to achieve it if you said I want to

lose to stone in a month then I would have said that was unrealistic but no

fine no well done mr. Duncan yes I'm consumers and you're using actually what

you'd what you're also doing is you're telling everybody that you're going to

do it yes so people will ask you and you'll feel a failure you little spur

you on what it'll get energy and commitment well I'm just being okay what

I'm doing is being honest and open which which is what I want to do I want to be

honest and open so if there are things I want to talk about and that's the whole

point of this so when we talk about the English language we're talking about

expressing yourself and this is something I want to express to you so

you can listen and also it gives me a little bit of motivation because now I

know that you will be asking mr. Duncan how is your diet have you lost any

weight and that will give me some encouragement what if I was to say to

you mr. Duncan that every week we have to have a way in well I don't

mind being weighed every week but maybe there that there could be some more

motivation maybe I thought you know what I thought Steve was going to say I

thought he was going to say for every pound that you lose all of your viewers

have to give you $1 I thought that's what you're going to say but no nothing

like that don't worry it's an idea but we

certainly we could weigh you every week if you know if you really want to do

this it's a bit like Weight Watchers isn't it there's a cut there's a there's

a a company in the UK don't with its world why call Weight Watchers and

people go to sort of classes every week and x-rays and they I don't actually

know much about it basically basically it's a slimming group the slimming group

and you go there every week and it's that's supposed to motivate you because

you go somebody raised you and if you haven't lost any weight then you're

gonna feel a bit bad yes I don't know what else they do well there's lots of

these people I mean I don't to mention one company because that's not fair but

there are lots and lots of other companies is well around so there

they're just one of them us there's other slimming world is another one so

there are lots of these people that try to motivate you of course they also take

lots of money from you as well but you don't really need to do that simple

things eat less eat healthily more exercise there you go bang you lose

weight and people want a bit of support yes moral support from Ochopee well

that's why I'm doing this today you're a pro so from my point of view I'm using

this but you can use your friends to give you encouragement or maybe your

family members so there is always someone you can you can look at and say

don't let me slip don't let me fall into my bad habits and that's it so yes it's

good to have another person but that's just my way of doing it so everyone has

their own their own different way Christina asks do you eat at breakfast I

I normally have a small meal at the start of the day but for the rest of the

day I sometimes have snacks so I start off healthy

but as the day goes on sometimes when I'm working or if I'm sort of just

thinking shall I just have something to eat and I can't be bothered to cook I'm

being very honest here and I just go and get a piece of bread or or put some

butter on some bread with some cheese and that's it that's my my meal but it's

not not very healthy it's more difficult when you're at home yes I see yeah I'm

adding about working yes and and the other thing is because your work is

based at home yes you don't get much chance to sort of use calories walking

to and fro work yes put it around the office yes that's it but that would be

no different if I if I worked 20 miles away in an office because if I'm still

sitting down you're not getting so sedentary yes so my job is a sort of

sedentary job I'm sort of sitting still and but you do use quite a lot of

calories getting ready in the morning going walking to your car just and and a

lot of people if you've got I remember when I used to work I worked in that in

a lab in a hospital yeah many years ago and we on our feet all day walking from

one room to the other worked out some of us that we sort of walk three miles just

walking around that ran the lab all day carrying things around so and that's

obviously using up calories so yes but but the other downside of course of

working in an office is they often have there's a lot of access to chocolate and

sweets and snacks and things like that so people bring cakes in and it's things

so you could actually be worse off because no no better off those people

are constantly bringing high-calorie snacks listen and and of course you're

you're all in an enclosed space and it's a social situation so if you work with

lots of other people it's a social situation which often means that large

quantities of food will be consumed at some point and that's it so it's very

hard you have to have a lot of self-control and willpower and this is

something that I'm building up at the moment

greco wants me to be your personal trainer I'm not sure about that we did

think about we did think about doing that today in the garden because it's

lovely outside but it's very cold so we were going to go outside to do some

exercises but it's a little chilly the problem is our well yours and mine

really our weakness is sugar oh and the problem with sugar is it is addictive

they they actually now think sugar is as add almost as addictive as like a hard

drug I know okay okay I think we're repeating what we said about three weeks

ago aren't we yeah and so if you don't have it in the house

I find with sugar that though if you have one but you can't have one Biscay

you could have two or three so if they're not in the house at all and I

think then you won't eat them and I think you've got to treat yourself like

once a week so we like chocolate so let's say on a Friday we will eat

chocolate we'll buy chocolate but just once a week

and we've done that before and it worked yeah and then what happens is that you

you you start well I'll have it on Wednesday so you start off having on

Friday and you do it for a few weeks and then when we're out oh well just get a

bar chocolate boy at a once and then but I think you've got to stick rigidly to

this well I'm calling it becomes a habit and I said and then you know it's the

willpower it's the motivation the motivation the willpower it's like doing

anything you might even say it's the same as learning English you start off

with good intentions you get yourself a big dictionary and lots of paper to

write things down and you say I'm going to learn English I'm determined MX 25a

says stop sugar wait yes that's it cut out the sugar I know I know this I'm

very aware that sugar is part of the problem sugar and fat is part of the

problem yes we've had this conversation about a year ago in fact yes and a

couple of years ago I did lose a lot of weight I was able to get into a very

good routine where I was eating very healthily and getting tons of exercise

and I lost quite a lot of weight you every day you went for a walk but over

the past four or five months I have started putting on weight again I have

been getting a little fat I'm tall doesn't eat chocolate because the day

his or her dentist said I don't eat chocolate because of course it's bad for

your teeth yes which we know because sugar is very very bad for your teeth

talking of teeth by the way I went to the dentist a few days ago Steve and and

the dentist was telling me some some information giving me some advice in

fact about the best way to clean my teeth now I like to use the

old-fashioned toothbrush this is actually my toothbrush that I use it's

pink it looks very pink I like my pink

toothbrush my dentist said that I should actually buy a blue one an electric one

she said she said if you get an electric toothbrush you will find that your teeth

will be cleaned more thoroughly and more effectively now I'm not sure about that

so what about you do you use an electric toothbrush or do you use the

old-fashioned toothbrush that you have to operate with your hand I think it's

personal preference I think I think each method is just as effective I mean if

you if you if you don't use an electric toothbrush correctly won't clean your

teeth properly I use one for a while but I found it

I mean cleaning your teeth is quite a chore it's boring and nobody likes doing

it no one likes to clean their teeth but I found it even more boring with an

electric toothbrush because at least if you're doing it yourself you've got

something to do whereas if he just sort of it sort of it

was very boring with and it set all my teeth on edge as well the other thing as

well it the other thing I noticed is is the fact that they're very noisy and

noisy eager to keep charging them up yes so they have

have batteries inside you have to keep replacing the batteries it came a bit of

a Oh bit of a bore late so that's that's why I love my little toothbrush I can

just pick my toothbrush up and put a little bit of toothpaste and and it's

exercise if you're doing that it's exercise you're using calories not very

many of course but there you go you're going to give us a live demo of cleaning

your teeth I've got all these words about fat that's okay we've got week was

an hour we've got a whole hour how long can you watch the live stream for do you

have a long attention span or do you have a short attention span winter

marked when Tomo says conventional toothpaste is a toothbrush is better

because you have more control I think you do

I think you do either it's if you do it properly then a conventional toothbrush

is just as good as an electric toothbrush yes and I think you can

overdo it with an electric toothbrush as well I don't I didn't like them yes

there are other things that I use as well so I don't just use my big

toothbrush I use other things as well that you can put in between your teeth

so I use those as well but yes I was quite I was very intrigued

by my dentists suggestion that I should get an electric toothbrush but baby they

are good for you I don't know back to our original topic Jeff says as you get

older you do put on weight you are right yes now men and women as they get older

their body shape will change and quite often around the middle the body shape

will change especially women you will often notice a woman will change shape

and there are two types of female shape there is what they call the apple shape

and what's the other one the pear shape that's right so there are very different

shapes as they get older now sometimes it's very subtle and sometimes it's very

apparent and men can have the same thing especially around their middle their

stomach area they can get some thing called middle-age spread

middle-age spread and I think that's what I've got maybe I've got a little

bit of that but Steve is older than me and he doesn't have middle-age spread

you have you have nothing you haven't and can I just say this mr. Steve has an

incredible body where is mine is all floppy and and fat and droopy and wobbly

well your thing is you've got if you run as you get older it's not inevitable

that you will put weight on it's simple it's a simple equation if you eat more

calories than you're using up you will put on weight it doesn't just happen

because you get older yes it happens because you put you losing less calories

and eating too much hi Pedro it's as simple as that

Pedro Gary let's go bye bye Pedro bye yes it's a simple equation you don't you

can't put weight on unless you having too many calories yes you can't it's

just you can't break the laws of physics no you can't eat the same amount you

can't eat lots of food but the reason you you you you don't lose weight when

you give the reason you stay slim when you're younger it's because you're

probably eating as much as you when you're older but you were doing more

exercise and you were walking around more or so or maybe you add different

types of foods then when people get older they particularly if they've

become successful in their job they've got more disposable income so they start

to buy wine they go out for more drinks yeah well for more meals out which are

all high fat calorific if you cook the food yourself it's probably far less

calories in it then if you go to a restaurant he'll have a starter the main

course and all the food in restaurants is high-calorie yes because they want it

to taste nice so they've got a lot of fat in it this is very interesting

leading on leading from that in China when I was there can you believe this in

China if your child is fat it is a good thing can you believe that

so if your child or if if you are older of course especially men so if the men

are a bit fat a bit podgy a bit plump that that's often a sign of a good life

rather like it was here many many years ago about three four hundred years ago

here if you were if you were big in fact it meant you were wealthy and successful

yes it almost connects to the to the term

fat cat which means a successful person who runs a business so maybe it's

connected to that so yes it in China so if you were fat it meant you were

wealthy you were successful you know because they've economy is developing

and that there where we were sort of fifty years ago or something so there's

still a sign now being over being fat is still a sign of wealth of yeah sex

whereas in the Western world here in in in England

everybody's got enough money to eat sufficient food just extremely healthy

so it's it's now a sign of excess yes well it's a sign well actually it's

worse than that it's a sign of laziness so when we see a fat person now we just

assume they are lazy idle they they have no job and they do nothing that's it

it's but it's change so in the past we thought that person would be wealthy oh

look at that they're so big this they must have lots of money to eat now it's

the opposite way around we just see it all as a negative thing yes and it's

still it's still fat people overweight people are still in comedy they're still

fair game for comedians to take the mickey out of what do you mean that's

not of that's a lot of things you've just said that yes I mean fair game what

it means it's still a subject that you can you can you can almost be offensive

to fat people well they're easy midi yes it means they're an easy target yes

that's right yes exactly so you can still take the mickey out

or take the piss out of yes make fun of them make fun of fat people in comedy

comedians can still do that and it's still it's still an acceptable thing I

think eventually talking about political correctness you won't be able to make

any fat jokes anymore because that will seem offensive well I think that that's

because now about half the population is classed as obese yes I think I think

it's at least a third if not if not if not half the population is now actually

classified as literally obese yes well in the United States it's more like one

in three one in four is now is now clinically obese

I think it's about one in three here as well yes so but the point I'm trying to

make here above all of this is the fact that being overweight isn't good for

your body that's it so so really from my point of view it's not about vanity

it's not about shame it's just about not dying when I'm 63 of a heart attack so

that's really so I want to live a little bit longer you see so that so my

motivation is isn't frailty it's about actually not wanting to drop dead of a

heart attack or get diabetes I mean that's that's absolute epidemic now

there is an epidemic in this country of people with diabetes and that's too much

sugar the body just eventually can't handle it and you get all sorts of

problems with your body so I don't want these things to happen at all right so

well we'll have to do a hunt we'll have to have a weigh-in and then we'll we'll

do that after this lesson yeah we'll publish it to all your YouTube viewers

and then next week we're way you just before and and if you haven't lost

weight then they are yes as well there's got to be a punishment a forfeit well

that does well you don't lose weight well went there went there a second

we've got we've got to do this right well first of all we haven't actually

done anything officially so I think what we all have to do is maybe next week we

will we will actually weigh might weigh me on the scales

so I think well we'll have to start now we have to it has to be official are you

giving yourself another week there's no gorge as much chocolate okay well no of

course not well I'm J but I haven't got this I

haven't got any scales you've you've got to come upstairs yes I know but oh my

goodness this is very difficult today by the way

but you have to do it officially you have to get on the scales you have to

show the scales you have to show the weight all at the same time to make it

official or else people will just think you're

making it up your because nowadays no one trusts anything maybe people don't

even trust us maybe they think we're a couple of professional actors just

pretending to be like this trust me we're not this is what we're like in

real life so yes I think we'll do that next week officially okay how do you

feel about that fine yes if that's the way you want to do it that's absolutely

fine it is I want it to all be aboveboard I want everyone to go that's

really happening are you you can eat very cheaply at home if you cook large

batches of food and then freeze it keep it in the fridge you can cook very

cheaply at home a lot of people do go to junk food restaurants but I mean it's

quite expensive now if you go to a McDonald's for example and get a burger

and chips I mean you're looking at five quid aren't you by the time you had a

burger chips and something to eat I bet you're looking at six six seven pounds

well this is one of them cook a whole meal at home for two you far less than

that oh yeah but the other thing is of course is that one of the one of the

myths about junk food is that it's cheaper than going out and buying lots

of vegetables they're saying that the opposite is true that they're saying

vegetables that are expensive I can't afford to keep buying health food

because it's always expensive and yes rubbish what you've just said is true

junk food is also quite expensive especially if you are addicted to it

because you will spend more and more money on it

well rice and lentil are two very healthy foods combined together

with a few spices and and some sweet potatoes or I mean that's incredibly

cheap how much is a bag of rice you can live on a bag of rice for an entire week

and you cut you about two quid two pounds and and lentils are very cheap I

mean certain cuts of meat you can do a nice big stew you can put about three

pounds rather than me me probably only cost you about five pounds for the meat

to put in a student you've got that that's two days worth two days no way

there's no way it's cheaper to eat out in a junk food restaurant than it is to

eat at home you've just the thing is people are just lazy yeah I don't want

to sit they don't want to cook that that's the point I made earlier and that

that is the impression that people get when they see someone who is overweight

or that they're they're eating burgers and rubbish all the time we see that now

is a is a lazy person I mean a lazy attitude it used to be just like a treat

now and then you would do go out or let's go have a burger so you might have

one what are you pointing at the live chat what about it it's busy okay I was

talking there but never mind it's finger comes across so you used to go out just

occasionally so you'd have a burger and chips maybe once every two or three

months as a sort of a guilty treat it should that's how it should be seen as

something that's just done very occasionally like a bar of chocolate you

should just have it once a week or a burger once a month or something and and

the rest of the time eat healthily but now because it's everywhere and

everybody is wealthier now than they were 10 20 30 years ago yes there is

more money in society yes and if because if people can afford to go out and have

you know a burger every day they're not short of money yes I suppose one of the

things is getting your priorities right it's excuses people make excuses so

they'll come up with a phrase oh it's cheaper to go it's cheaper to eat junk

food and it is to it then that's just something I've heard

newspaper somewhere yes on the radio and that they don't actually examine it I

mean you can cook incredibly cheap you have very nutritious meals yes

well vegetables fruit vegetables these are things that literally grow in the

ground or above the ground you pick them and then you eat them because comic

vegetables are know that I'm all about healthy food yes that's a good guy a

cheap potato healthy food potato that's the point I was making so so healthy

food it's very easy to recognize healthy food if it's it's grown on a tree or in

the ground or above the ground it's probably healthy for you it's probably

good for you if it's made in a big factory with chemicals and colors and

preservatives there's a pretty good chance it's not good for you it's not

it's not rocket science at the end of the day you make your own choice it's

your life it's a nobody should tell you what to do but I don't mind I don't want

my my students all dropping dead from heart attacks yes and I don't want to

either at the end of the day yeah as a phrase that it shouldn't be used really

very much but when when when all else is is talked about it is up to the

individual people to decide what they're going to do with their life yes oh I die

I die poor want to eat burgers every day put on weight I have no problem with

people but I have to say I have no problem with people stuffing food into

their mouths until they they go pop it's no problem but of course the problem is

people don't go pop they just become very sick and then they have to go to

hospital and then they have to stay in a hospital and then they have to have lots

of treatments rain on the house and then your your health service will suffer

because you have to throw millions and millions and millions of pounds into

taking care of people who are fat lead and healthy well I mean a while ago that

was often there are doctors every now and then this

subject comes up that if you because in this country we've got free health care

yes the National Health Service you pay for it through your in your wages a

certain proportion comes out and goes towards health care so you go to the

doctor it's free you go to the hospital it's free you have to pay I'm being

blamed sorry I'm seeing things on the live chat that are making me laugh so

much Olga is blaming us or blaming me for her eating habits look at can I just

show you this oh I see I've just seen this this is brilliant mr. Duncan during

previous lessons you often ate something and made me eat more than I'm supposed

to those days but now you speak about obesity it's not fair well I'm kind of

learning my lesson yes but I don't want people to start saying that mr. Duncan

you made me fat because you were eating pizza on your live lesson a few weeks

ago it's not our fault that you're weak-minded don't blame don't blame us

joking good joke but at least I'm learning my lesson and I'm going to do

my best to lose a few pounds here and there maybe one and a half stone I hope

I can lose a little bit weight before the end of the year not after the new

year so I'm doing my my new year resolution before the year ends I know

it's very weird but there you go I was saying something before you rudely

interrupt you I can't remember what it was now if Stan Eli Aston is Lao says

today I had chicken casserole delicious my chicken isn't expensive my personal

chef came to my flat you have a personal chef to cook for my mother and me and it

was delicious there's no chef you have a personal chef

can I just say I'm I'm incredibly jealous and have a mango for dessert so

there's simply very very healthy mango I love mango that sounds fantastic

who is your personal chef yes Anna's loud we want to know I can't believe it

and are you so wealthy you can afford to have

a chef come to your house I should work for you I think I think maybe maybe s

still as low as Deniz Lao that might be might be a millionaire Wow incredible

you have tommix talking about pesticides yes there's a subject I like to talk

about yes we talked about this a few weeks ago as well but you can get

organic food and yes it does cost a little bit more but it's only a few

pence it's not like it you know an organic carrot doesn't cost a thousand

dollars actually but I mean so then certain vegetables I I don't think it

really matters that much because if you long as you wash or peel the fruit

you've got rid of most of the pesticides anyway they've shown that now so you

don't you don't have to worry about organic food as anything too much

because as long as you wash the fruit peel it then pretty much you get rid of

most of it that way I believe can I talk about the words that I spent a long time

preparing because you have been a busy bee today I must admit let's have a look

shall we let's just get the live chat reset okay

that's pretty good visiting in Morocco mr. Duncan in previous lessons you

always decide to cook the pizza that involves the baked beans which wasn't

very good and this there was the result well of course baked beans are quite

good for you so they're actually not too bad if you eat a lot of baked beans

because they've got a lot of fiber a bit of protein butter this and that and also

they make you go to the toilet a lot so you always have very regular poops

so yes baked beans a pretty good actually look I love baked beans ah

there is chef Angelo comes every weekend to cook for me because from Monday to

Friday chef Rita cook summer two chefs this is

even worse you have two chefs that come to your house to cook for you Angelo at

the weekend and then Rita during the week yeah look I was shaking my fist

earlier but now I have to shake both fists

oh these are nice is it nice I'm jealous who's the best chef is it

chef Angelo or chef Rita I have a feeling it's gonna be chef Angelo

because I don't know why his name he sounds like a a really good chef if

you're called Angelo and you're a chef then you're probably a very good chef

vlad says drinking lots of water is good for losing weight yes it sort of fills

you up so you probably don't feel like eating as much you got to be careful

about not eating too much water because you can die from that apparently too

much water and you will I think that's that's quite old that live chat that

you're sharing there no it's this is now now I think you need to go down scroll

down a bit no but that's it that's live now that right okay yeah the live chat

Steve fine it's all right I thought I saw some of those some time ago I

thought I saw the unless Vlad is repeated maybe about drinking water so

drinking lots of water is is good for losing weight yes it's also good for

your body as well because you can flush all of the poisons and all of the

horrible things out so mr. Steve you are you are desperately desperately waiting

I was that sort of can't be bothered down bye bye everybody bye so let's have

a look we've got lots of words so many words and phrases to do with fat we hope

we don't offend people like these I don't think anyone is going to be

offended by this because these are just sentences and words you the fat they're

not guns and bullets if you chew the fat just words if you chew the fat will you

shut up and let me speak mr. Duncan you've done your fair share of talking

since I've been on and now it's my turn okay there she was a fat it means to

have friendly conversation banter which is friendly conversation with with a

friend or friends informal conversation about things that you've got in common

it's just friendly you're not gonna have arguments about politics or religion

you're just chewing the facts are you talking about quite often it's friends

that went to college together they've known each other for a long time

and they're just talking about subjects that they often talk about when they get

together did they drink beer they might order so for example uh I met

with my old school friend the other night and we chewed the fat for hours so

it's not really gossiping it's sort of you're talking about subjects from the

past subjects that you're both familiar with just maybe talking about about

events that have happened that you've got to do you want to share opinions

about together they think the phrase comes from sailors

so they were at sea for a long time and they were quite often times and they

were got nothing to do and a source of high calorific food that they would eat

would be fat and they were just sort of chew on fat and they would sit there

talking to each other having conversation just talking about everyday

subjects trying to see if you've got things on your mind you you chew the fat

with your friends it just means you're going over subjects in order to try and

come to terms with the things in and sort of yeah you're chewing the fat they

think it could have come from that but it also could have come from the fact

that when people are talking a lot from a distance it looks like they're just

chewing on something yeah so friendly conversation talking about everyday

subjects no arguments chewing the fat yes so maybe you meet up with a friend

and you sit and chat and we could say that you are both chewing the fat you

could be talking about for example Brett Kavanaugh was that was it was it was in

the news a lot in America I don't know whether you saw he had much news

coverage of that we had loads of it and you could sit and chat to each other

about that you could chew the fat over that yes what's your opinion on that

what do you think of that but you just having its friendly conversation in the

live chat we chew the fat yeah exactly well thank you Rosa Rosa said in the

live chat do we chew the fat we do yes when we have a chat with you the fat

secretly when we picked a subject like a weight loss so we're all putting our

opinions forward and we're mentioning what we think about that subject and

talking about it together in a friendly way we're not getting into arguments no

at all friendly chitchat friendly chitchat fat chance

fat chance this is a negative phrase really which is sort of anticipating

failure in a way it's used to describe the impossibility of something happening

hmm it's you sarcastically if you think that there is little or no chance of

something happening you will sarcastically say it uses a sort of

interjection in a sentence you will say others fat chance - that happening for

example you could say you could say to somebody are you gonna buy and you are

you gonna buy a new car this year and they might say huh fat chance of that I

can barely afford to run the one I've got but it's a sort of it's a sort of

not nasty but it's a sort of a negative phrase it's implying that you're never

going to be able to do this or this little you sort of resigned yourself to

something not happening so your favorite football team for example they might

have they might never do particularly well and some of you might say oh well

do you think your football team is gonna win this year and you sort of fat chance

of that they're useless but you carry on supporting them it's a negative phrase

sort of a more sort of politically correct or friendlier phrase to use

would be slim chance there's a slim chance of something happening

oh yeah there's a slim chance that mr. Duncan will will win the lottery this

week or if you were saying it in a more negative way he's a fat chance of

winning the lottery yes so it can be used as a put-down

yes it can be used as a put-down yeah I think Nikki as it can be you might say

mr. Duncan is going to to lose weight he wants to lose some weight

fat fat chance of that fat chance haha fat chance yes it could be

- put it down no way will it happen I doubt it

you are creating doubt by saying fat chance

as already mentioned this one fat cat oh okay fat cat a successful wealthy

businessman it is sort of I would say enormous and negative phrase because if

fat cat is somebody who's just like a cat who's very satisfied had a big meal

fat cats are usually successful businessmen you've probably put on a bit

of weight they literally probably are fat and they're always trying to to help

themselves to more wealth hmm so they might donate to a political party or to

an organization to help further their wealth utter success so it's sort of a

selfish rich person anyway yes I think it also refers to the cat that's just

eaten the cream off or had had a very lavish meal and now it's just sleeping

in the corner and not not a care in the world yes you yes it's sort of a

negative if somebody was to describe you as a fat cat they you might you're

successful you're wealthy but you're you're not really you're not really

quite selfish about it you're trying to get richer and prevent other people

because yes as well it's a good phrase I like that

full fact if you say something is full fat removed if you say full fat milk for

example that's that's milk that's got all the fat in it it's not skim milk is

milk that's had the fat taken off it so foot full fat milk is or full fat cheese

that's obvious it's got all the fat in it but it's used in a way to describe

something as having them that the maximum taste or flavor or power so you

if you say I want full I want somebody said to you or coca-cola want a Coca

Cola oh do you want the do you want the the slimline version and you or all the

sugar-free version you might say but no I want the full fat version

so you're not literally talking about fat you'd you it's it's referring there

to flavor you want the maximum flavor version some of you might say oh I'm

gonna buy a new car what engine are you gonna put in it and

you might say well uh what having the 1.6 petrol engine and they might laugh

and say oh why didn't you go for the full fat version of the at the v8 5

liter engine so it's referring to something was up with with the maximum

flavor taste on hair in it quite often is with food though isn't it it's quite

often with food I must admit I love I love all of the things that have full

fat in front of them full fat milk is delicious

full fat cream full fat on about the literal meaning of it here it's you oh

no no I'm just yeah no I didn't say it wasn't so I mean when you say full fat

coca-cola you mean the version that's got all the sugar in it there are

calories because the perception is that that has got more flavor than the

version that hasn't yes that's it it's used so what's the word I'm using for

looking for it it's just it's used to describe something that's got the

maximum flavor you're not you're not you're not sparing anything in order to

to get the maximum benefit from something you want the biggest powerful

version or the one with all the fat and sugar in it

to give you the maximum flavor if I had the choice I would always go for full

fat everything and that might be the reason why I have a big tummy but it

doesn't literally have to mean literally fat it's it's a synonym for flavor yeah

you often hate you do it that's the phrase you use full fat coca-cola it

means I've never heard full fat coca-cola yes oh yes yes is a very

greasy no it just means the full fat version the one with the most flavor you

don't want the version you don't want the sugar-free version

oh no give me the full fat bird give me the full fat coconut all fat Pepsi it

means it I think that's where it comes right I want all the I want all the

sugar it and hopefully someone will reiterate

what I've said puppy fact puppy fat this is the sort of

buildup of fatty deposits in your body that young children often have or young

adolescents which disappears as you get older so as you grow up

so it's puppy fat it's that sort of fat you can sort of get around your face or

around your middle and it's an its fat it's the fat that's only there when

you're young and then when you grow up you use sort of a body absorbs it and

goes away it's lightly fat so you can say to somebody Oh

although you've got a bit of puppy fat they're like you like your grandmother

might sort of pinch around the middle and and say you've got a bit of puppy

fat there it just means it's the weight that your body puts on it in preparing

for when you're going to go through a big growth phase and then you grow up so

by the time you sort of 18 19 20 it's all gone it's sort of it's a it's an

it's a term of endearment it's not it's not an insult

because most people as you're growing up going through adolescence you have a

little bit of excess weight because that is part of your development at the other

end of the spectrum of course it is often used as an excuse

when someone's child is getting fat so they're putting on weight and again oh

no don't worry about that that's just puppy fat when it isn't yes people often

say that try make you feel back better I love the next one the next one this is

it if anyone is going to to have fun with with today's special word it's the

next one this this fat camp this is where we're going to send you mr. Duncan

this is a phrase which we don't use in this country I think they only use it in

America oh by the way it's not an overweight homosexual okay it's a slang

word for where parents send their children just like it's it's a

residential place like an almost like a clinic it's

a camp literally a big camp where unhealthy children who have put a lot of

weight are sent by their parents to stay for a weekend or a week or two weeks and

they'll go on special exercise special diets all that the idea is that they're

the parents send them there to try to help them lose weight fat camp and

that's the slang word for it would be like a spa really so the other that the

slang word or the or the word that people would use to make you feel bad is

oh you're going to fat camp I mean that must be quite nasty if you if you are an

overweight child and your parents send you to what I don't know what the proper

name is but the slang word is fat camp well if this all started of course in

the United States where they literally did have fat camp and quite often during

the summer months when the schools broke up some children

would go off to summer camp whilst others and by that I mean fat kids would

be sent by their parents to fat camp which is exactly what it sounds like

they would be all there together and their their eating habits would be

monitored they would eat healthy food and they would try to lose some weight

and get into a healthy way of living so when they go back home they will

continue to do that and then lose weight in this country we've used a phrase fat

farm fat farms where often overweight ladies

will go for a week it's like a spa good yes and and they will go through a

similar a similar procedure where they'll probably but might take exercise

but they'll they'll sort of try and sweat the fat out or they'll go on

special diets exercise regimes it's it's often somewhere where maybe a rich

husband would send his wife for a week in order to lose some weight and they

it's a slang word fat a fat farm yes they were they were very very popular in

the 1970s it was very very it was a huge fad during the 1970s in this country fat

farms the wife would go to spend a few days at a fat farm and then they would

be pampered and looked after and they would try to lose a little bit of weight

and they would have a makeover so it's it's probably the early version of a

health spa yeah except in the 1970s they they they called it a fat farm because

that's basically what yeah right so here's another one a fat burner a fat

burner now these have become popular because when people they're popular

amongst people who are desperate to lose weight the easy way so they don't want

to make the effort of restricting their diet or going for exercise and so they

look online and on the internet and they see these special pills which promise to

help you lose weight called fat burners they're basically tablets that will

increase your metabolism and get you to burn off calories when you're just

sitting there doing nothing and they've quite controversial because

they've got quite negative health connotations because if you're doing

something that they're often stimulants like high caffeine or something like

that so they they're getting in a metabolic rate burning very fast your

heart rate goes up you're creating a lot of heat in your body and that they're

very but they're actually not very good for you at all

but fat burners are things that you can buy on the internet that supposedly help

you lose weight but they keep you awake at night

they're very bad for your heart so they're a shortcut way of losing point

so you'll be thin but also you'll probably drop dead of a heart attack yes

yes they're they're stimulants stimulant drugs I've usually got lots of caffeine

in them or something like that because if you drink lots of coffee that

increases your metabolic rate there's another type of weight loss a

that they've actually you eat it and it makes you poop all the time so all of

the fat inside your your digestive system sticks to this to this product

and it goes through you just like a big sloppy wet mess so so that's another

type of thing used for losing weight and it's disgusting it just makes you have

diarrhea all the time it stops your body absorbing the fat so it goes straight

through you but of course if you're not absorbing the fat it's got to go

somewhere fat head that's that's that's a nasty word for a

really a stupid man or if you've got a group of stupid men you'll call them fat

heads it just means an incompetent person a

stupid person oh you stupid fat head it's just it's just it's just a nasty

word to say to somebody can you call a woman a fat head I know that you can i

think i think it's may need four men I think you would normally say you might

say to a woman but I think it's mainly refers to a man maybe you just say fat

man well that says something stupid or does something stupid and you sell your

stupid fat head it's just it's just something you

wouldn't want to be called a fat head

fat free that's that we're going on to a whole list of words and phrases now

connected with diet medical terms as well so fat free when you refer to that

it just means something that hasn't got fat fat in it so you have we talked

about milk being full fat well milk with no fat in it is fat free so skim milk

you can have fat free yogurt fat free cheese lots of foods say fat

free on them and the idea is that there's less calories cause fat has a

lot of calories in it as we as we know fat free food tends to be a bit

tasteless so it's got sort of negative connotations at the same time as well

but it's talked a lot a lot in dietary dietary fat

dietary fat that just refers to we're not talking about losing weight here

we're just referring to the types different types of fat that you eat that

you take into your body when you eat food so there's animal fats then there's

animal fats or vegetable fats really so dietary fat refers to fact that you take

in through your mouth when you eat food nothing to do with slimming at all and

there are lots of different types of fats hmm and a lot of them you dove

hurdle but I'll go through them quickly here the saturated fats or saturated fat

which is basically and it's a type of fact there are lots of different types

of fat like there are lots of different types of sugar and they're classified

into into these forms saturated fat is animal fat basically which so it's the

type of fat that's solid at room temperature so when you cook a joint of

meat or or lard its solid at room temperature actually interestingly

enough coconut is saturated fat as well it refers to the chemical makeup of the

type of fat that it is it's interesting that oh isn't it yes I think it's

interesting that the point about coconut because it seems like an a very innocent

thing yes and yet it's full of saturated fat

saturated fat it's to do with I won't go in it won't go into the sort of

technical details of it but saturated fats are are are the ones that have been

if you have too much of that in your diet it it's been associated with

increasing your levels of cholesterol in your body and lead which that can lead

to heart attacks and strokes it's basically the sticky stuff the sticky

stuff that then forms in your veins and around your heart and it's not good for

you yes I mean there is some you know that

there is some debate over this but basically that's the Association they

think too much animal fat or saturated hard fat the type of fat that at room

temperature is solid can is associated with negative health

benefits or negative negative health the opposite of that is the unsaturated fats

which are mostly mostly fish oil and vegetable oils so sunflower oil nuts

seeds herring mackerel oily fish what's the fish we're having tonight I can't

remember it is salmon salmon so or anything that sort of liquid at room

temperature fat isn't probably unsaturated fat and

that's associated with health benefits that is supposed to be good better for

you than the saturated fats but of course as with all these all these

things it depends on your own body and you need a mix of it so we're gonna go

into that rapeseed oil liquid fat so but basically unsaturated fat is kind of

you'd even though there is a debate as being more healthy saturated fat is

viewed as unsaturated yeah it's view to being that that's viewed as being more

unhealthy exactly and then we've got another type of fat which you see quite

often written on the back of packets of food hydrogenated fat or fats dang what

that's a big word yes that that hydrogenated fat that's not a natural

fat it's it's a chemical process that oil or vegetable oil goes through to

make it to make it set at room temperature so margarine which is which

is a supposedly was originally supposed to be a healthy form of spread to put on

your on your like to replace butter butter of course are made from animal

fat margarine is made from vegetable oil which has been chemically processed to

make it set at room temperature because but unfortunately it's now associated

with being quite unhealthy use that chemical

process makes it unhealthy my mother always told me that we shouldn't eat

marjorine even though she used to buy it but she used to say do you know what how

they make marjorine it's all it's all the waste from from from the sewers and

she used to say that they they took all the rubbish from the sewers and they

turned it into margarine although she might not have been far from the truth

because it is it is artificial it's yes yes it's because it's manufacturers

wanted to make butter was quite expensive is still more expensive than

margarine it's a it's a it's a way a cheap way of converting oil into

something that you can spread on your on your toast but Jeff's already mentioned

that the problem with this chemical process is that it produces produces

unhealthy trans fat this is the big one trans fat which is really is like a

contamination really you it's it does naturally occur when you cook food you

the heat turns and produces this trans fat which is an unhealthy form of fat

which they're trying to eliminate from food because they now realize that it's

associated with very bad health so that's it that's all my brew is

connected with with fat but there are quite a few phrases actually of course

there is another one the fat of the land yes so we can say the fat of the land is

just the things that give us sustenance and allow us to live so it's a very

general term but we often use it when we're talking about our way of life you

you you might live off the fat of the land it means you do things in maybe a

natural way or something that's more ecologically friendly yes oh yes you

live off the fat of the land so the land is producing things wrong

live off it crops and the cows and the cattle are eating eating the grass and

then you you you live off that you you you live off that literally the fat of

the language comes from from the oil from the from the vegetables and also

the fact from literally the fat from the animal yes another one if you ever go

shopping with it with it with a woman or a girl they will often try something on

they will put something on especially if a dress or trousers and then they will

turn around and they will say does my berm look fat in this or do I look fat

in this so maybe they are a little worried about looking too big so certain

types of clothing might suit a certain shape whilst others don't

I noticed nowadays here in the UK I don't know why but it seems to be a very

current trend with women who are very overweight they wear these very tight

leggings they're called leggings and they're

stretchy material it's stretchy material and they pulled them on over there

they're huge legs and gotta be careful what we're saying here I'm just saying

I'm just saying but I've noticed it's a trend I can't say anything else there's

another way of describing it they are very stretchy pants but the by Irene but

they often wear nothing else just those nothing nothing it it doesn't look good

how mayor says it's boring talking about all these fats I just want some

chocolate oh okay then yes I agree yeah I'm gonna treat ourselves it's making me

feel home I'm just talking about the words that you said that you you know

this is English so I'm just telling you about the different words associated

with it so yeah I'm off now to have a piece of toast with some butter on it

sounds well is that full fat butter yes or is it fat-free it's fat-free no it's

full of fat butter mm-hmm there you go you see we have a lot of people on the

live chat by the way you want to say hello to you so be you you're so popular

Steve my hero family greetings mr. Duncan and mr. Steve this is Jimmy

Jimmy Liu Chang hung watching in Hong Kong I am struggling with the book

Paradise Lost have you read that poem do you have any insight on how to

understand the poem oh I see the poet well poetry is something that sometimes

can be subjective a little bit like any other form of art and I always think

poetry is a form of art because it can be taken in many different ways so yes

one person's view of a piece of poetry or a piece of art might differ from

another's so take from it what you feel it is saying that would be my advice

Olga I did shopping today and said exactly the same thing

Oh what did you say I'm wondering what Olga said oh very

somebody's brought up brexit really yes where Patricia says I'm wondering what

do you think about bricks it ivy you better not start us on that subject that

that's the sort of subject where we would get into arguments we never talk

we never talk about politics or views I talked about listen actually I mentioned

this earlier I did talk about this early before you joined us about political

views and also not giving our political views away about things like grexit

before you arrived so yes those black kneesocks oh I see oh you mean mark oh

because I wore some black knee socks once in one of my video lessons my hero

family says I'm struggling with Paradise Lost by John Milton as I said before yes

I know it's the same person Steve I know it is also can you enjoy a small amount

of full fat butter ah yes that's quite good so you can have something that has

a lot of fat in it but you have it in moderation

yes it's everything in moderation so yes you can't have you can have ice cream

there's some people that some people on here

that would think that we're we're wimps and that you should live life to the

full and eat eat and drink what you like and yeah if you want to do that fun yeah

if you want to if you want to drink loads of beer if you want to eat lots of

food if you want to die when you're 55 it's fine I have no problem with that

yes mica yes I've got I have butter and sometimes I have butter made from olive

oil oh yes and you know yeah mix and match it do what you like sometimes I

think you better you've got to write you've got to enjoy yourself you can't

you can't say no to everything oh I see I Olga is agreeing with what I

said earlier about women that go shopping and they're worried about their

bottom looking big or looking fat in certain types of clothing thank you very

much for that Sergio says a new season of Doctor Who is starting and it's a

woman it's a transgender Doctor Who that's incredible because because doctor

who used to be a man and now here's a woman so that means he must be a

transgender Doctor Who so that's incredible so well done to the BBC for

having the first transgender a person who used to be a man and now is a woman

the first trans each transgender Doctor Who is incredible so yes very exciting

is it tight is it would it be a Time Lord though isn't isn't there another

turn I'm lady time lady shouldn't be time lady not Time Lord so I think we

should describe the new Doctor Who as a time lady you are wonderful when you

state legging Oh me oh I see I think Steve was a little bit worried though he

Vlad is saying that curvy women are very cute oh yes each to his own

some men some men love shapely women yes women that have a lot of curve certain

cultures as well for example well I'm not going to give any examples or

certain cultures well because I could offend somebody

couldn't I that's it certain coaches prefer women who are large larger should

I say what about Kim Kardashian she's got she's got a huge bottom and it's all

it's all fake she's had she said things put in her bum to make her bum big in

apparently lots of women are doing this now they have these implants put in

their buttocks I'm not joking and that they make their

bum really really huge and a woman last week died apparently a few women have

actually died now from having this particular procedure because I think

there there are complications afterwards like infections and things so they have

these big pieces of silicon put in their bottoms to make their bums huge that's

it in the price for the price for trying to make yourself look better as often is

often particularly having cysts surgery I mean when you have any type of surgery

there's always a risk of death from from that and cosmetic surgery is because the

it's not done it's often done in clinics where you're not sure the the

qualifications of the doctors you know quite often people go to other countries

because it's cheaper to have these cosmetic procedures done in other

countries how do you know if the doctor is properly qualified so it's a huge

risk you take and so that's the price that's the that's the the price you pay

for vanity is sometimes that's the ultimate price so you're so vain that

you want to have implants in your body because you think it'll be make make you

more attractive and then you die as a result of that procedure that's that's

the ultimate price for vanity I never ever want now I never want to have any

surgery even if I needed it if I if I if I had appendicitis I had to have my

appendix removed if I had to do that I would hate it I would be so afraid so I

don't want any surgery that if you that would be you

do you have to have that if you just pen designs of you that that's an essential

surgery that's it but if you if you elect or decide that

you are going to have a medical procedure because you want to make it

may make you look more beautiful or you think it will then like having your

breasts enlarged or your breasts enlarged that's great this from any

surgery there's always a risk you might die from it the anaesthetic you might

get infections after you could actually turn the sound down on this live stream

and you would still know what mr. Steve was saying it's Nev Oracle I'm trying to

do something here's to you know so Steve is go and he would still know that he

was saying something about large breasts that's brilliant are we going in a

moment we are going in a moment yes mr. Steve wants to go because you're

going to make a cup of tea I think I'm hungry and he's very hungry what are you

going to eat something healthy I'm gonna have some white bread Oh bad butter and

jam on it I had all bad see see even mr. Steve even mr. Steve likes to have the

occasional unhealthy I can get away with it because I'm not overweight I have put

a little bit on I put a couple of pounds on actually over the summer and it's

because now I know why it's because the chocolates in the house and you share it

out you're like a drug you're like a drug pusher mr. Duncan

so you but you want the chocolate but you want me to eat it as well so that

you don't feel so guilty that often happens in households actually oh why am

I give her a neighboring each other why am I being blamed for for your bad

habits so please don't do that this often happens you find people who's

smoking in households it's very difficult for one partner to smoke and

the other one not to so unless the both give up and it's the same with losing

weight you often find families where they're all overweight because of all

they've all got the same habit they're all sort of feeding each other's each

other's sort of habits Julie G judging anybody that's

just an observation let's go to the live chat before we leave Julie gee I'm

eating a peanut biscuit it's fatty but I am happy well if it makes you happy

well go with it I'll peanut butter I love peanut butter anything in my

anything's good for you in moderation of course if you have too much of it

according to Vlad Kim Kardashian and Sofia vegara are curvy but Sofia is

all-natural there's nothing artificial in her bummer

cuz I said I'm very sad quasi Ohio Crew sigh I'm sad you didn't read my comment

it's up Wow didn't see that quite often it's difficult for us to read all the

comments yes there are too many we can't read everyone's comments unfortunately

runks quick look back oh it might yes I don't know yes we're going we're going

now Steve G app hello mr. Duncan I am learning English thank you for teaching

don't forget there's a new lesson coming on Wednesday another grammar lesson some

people are watching some people aren't mr. Steve you can cook for Duncan oh yes

I have my own personal chef on Sunday and that's mr. Steve because he cooks

the salmon for both of us isn't that nice Jeff thank you Jeff I've set you a

goal to lose weight ah well done well done

thank you then Jeff it's been a while since you've since you said that and

welcome welcome to that for that comest nice to see that Jeff has managed to

squeeze in another use of the word set which if people remember we won't go

into that I like matrix tricks and you're what

what is the relevance of 2018 in because he's put them in Roman numerals so I

find that quite interesting i I want to know what why you've put it like that

interesting mr. Bruno doesn't think that you look overweight oh I see

which of u2's every weight I can't understand the

illusions yes yeah so he's saying that you don't really you don't really look

that bad just no but what you used to be if that's what you're comparing yourself

to yeah right what you were like say 10 20 years ago we were probably four three

or four stone lighter so that's what you're trying good well it's it's

nothing to do with that I think everyone is misunderstanding what I'm actually

saying what I'm saying is I don't want to get any fatter I don't want to lose

control of this habit so if you lose control of the habit it takes over your

life and before you realize it you're you're eighteen or twenty or twenty five

stone and then you have to you have to have your own TV show where they come in

film you in your bed and then you lift your blanket up and you've got those big

giant sort of red legs and in the feet that look like they've been inflated in

fact the person looks like they've been they've been inflated with a large pump

so I don't want to be that person so that's what I'm avoiding the reason why

I want to lose some weight is so I don't put any more weight on Thank You Antonia

so it's for that comment preventative I'm preventing it I don't

want to get fat and I don't want to get ill I don't want to get diabetes or I

have a heart attack or become infirm which means I can't move around I don't

want any of those thank you thank you Mathilde Thank You Martha Thank You
