Part 1
Chris: Hello?
Kacey: Hey, it's Kacey, what's up?
Chris: [voice instantly becomes much higher pitched] Hi, Kace! You got out- You got out- You got home early?
Kacey: Yeah, I did. Actually I did we were really slow, so I got to get out early.
Chris: Well that's good. How are you?
Kacey: Uh, just a little tired I kinda rushed through my ending (?) work.
Chris: Aw. Okay. Well I'm okay, I had- I had a better days, you know. Little bit- little bit more peaceful, uh, I uh, skimmed through my email, but it's not like I really checked my email, um…
Kacey: Mmhm?
Chris: [talking really quickly and stuttering] I mean- I mean, you know I kinda asked you and Kim- if you know- concerned about like, you know- concerned about- concerned about, you know… Uh, like you know I blanked out and was really distant, you know- like you know- It was- It was just normal stress. But, you know I- I replied and uh, told her to know that my appreciation for her concern but it, you know, was just normal stress and it stress just me to blank out and all that. Yeah, I'm going to talk my doc- I'm going to talk to my doctor about uh… You know my stress and uh, all that you know, all that she between you, me, she, we three talked about it.
Kacey: [probably understood very little] Okay.
Chris: Oh, actually I also uh just remember uh… Kim told me a little bit about- th- about the metabolism and uh, what that was. And, uh, you know, she just I talked you know maybe you could inform me more about it?
Kacey: You- You didn't know what a metabolism was?
Chris: Yeah, not really until I said but then she described it in a nutshell as like uh, the uh, speed o- the speed of digestion.
Kacey: Um, yeah, I mean I guess that's good for layman's tremens, yeah.
Chris: Mmkay. What else do you know about it?
Kacey: [slightly over Chris' question]It's an extremely complicated process that goes down to the cellular level and I'm not sure you're ready for that.
Chris: It's okay. So… Tell me more about it.
Kacey: Well, okay, just what you need to know is metabolism is basically just what she told you. It's how fast your body takes in things, like glucose and fats and all sorts of chemicals and uses them up or stores them. If you have a fast metabolism you're going to use it al- a lot closer- or a lot sooner, sorry.
Chris: [weakly] Mmkay.
Kacey: I mean I bet you don't even know what glucose is.
Chris: Yeah, glucose is a type of fat.
Kacey: No, uh glucose is what sugar breaks down into.
Chris: Oh. Okay.
Kacey: Adipose tissue is fat.
Chris: Uh, I'm sorry, what kind of tissue is fat?
Kacey: Adipose.
Chris: Adipose?
Kacey: Yes. Adipose. It- It means fat.
Chris: Huh… [Kacey talks over him] Adipose is fat.
Kacey: I mean, you know like, break down, like, sodium. Uh, do you know what sodium is?
Chris: Yeah, sodium's like salt.
Kacey: Okay, at least you know what that is.
Chris: [weakly] Mmkay.
Kacey: Uh, cause things like calcium and potassium and sodium are extremely important to how your cells work.
Chris: Okay. Cap- Calcium and potassium and sodium. Yeah, I've heard that uh, yeah, one needs to have a good little bit of potassium and fortunately there is potassium in bananas and peanuts.
Kacey: Right, but you don't want too much of neither sodium or, um potassium, because then you're homeostasis will be put off. Do you know what homeostasis is?
Chris: Okay, yeah that's a new one on me. [pronouncing it incorrectly] Homeostasius.
Kacey: Homeostasis. It means the balance your body is in for th- to be working at optimal levels.
Chris: Oh. The balance for my body to be working at optimal levels. Okay.
Kacey: Yeah, I mean, like I said it's huge 'cause then you have to get into positive feedback and negative feedback, you have to get into sol- uh, cellular levels and it's just… It- it- it's a lot.
Chris: Yeah. It does sound like a lot. [there is a long pause] So please continue.
Kacey: Uhh, well what do you want to know about? ask some questions, cause I don't know what wa- wo- would be too deep. I mean what do you want to know about metabolism?
Chris: Hmm... okay well yeah, I understand that th- sleep slows metabolism and that uh, it's a bad idea to eat before you go to asleep. Because uh, then it just, th- then the sweetness sw- the uh, digestion get slows down and then that's uh, one way the body and one wa- and one wa- one way that fat builds up.
Kacey: Well technically um, you actually burn a lot of calories when you're sleeping. But yeah if you eat just before then umm, basically it depends on when you're eating. um, Because that's going to get your metabolism, no you probably shouldn't when you're not active. But the thing is that's also for people who usually eat only three times a day, if you eat five to six little meals and two snacks today you're pretty much ok. Because then your body's constantly eating- like if you only eat once a day which is really bad, your body goes into starvation mode even though your not starving yourself and it holds onto everything it can, especially fat.
Chris: Hmm, mmkay. yeah, well fortunately I like uhh, i eat- som- yeah, I like eat two or three meals in a day.[pause] Or uhh, like you know maybe, or like, you know maybe two uhh, or maybe two and uh, a small one or yeah like maybe a- maybe one big meal and two little ones, something like that.
Kacey: Well it also depends on the portions you eat, like if you were eating multiple portions and a meal, you're not helping yourself at all, you're actually hurting your metabolism.
Chris: yeah, I mostly eat- I mostly eat a single portion.
Kacey: well, I think we already discussed that you dont really know what portion sizes are. Like okay,okay like, umm, a, [thinks]what do you usually get when you go to McDonalds? or BurgerKing? anywhere, what sandwich do you usually get?
Chris: Okay, well lately i've been ahh, lately i've been eating ahh, the ahh, "size sar" [salad?] when I been going to McDonalds or BurgerKing.
