16
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing good. Mella frazzled? Uh oh, where are you frazzled?

17
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>It's just been a weird week so far.

18
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>We lost power last night and I had kind of

19
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 2>opened my window but hadn't eaten really just had a

20
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 2>little snack. I literally had like a handful of grapes

21
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:13.560
<v Speaker 2>and was going to start cooking dinner and.

22
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 1>We lost power.

23
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh so then we ended up ordering Dominoes.

24
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even for people still eating domino Sorry Dominoes.

25
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, of course, you know, at worked Sunday night.

26
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I'd slept about two hours yesterday, and I'm always extra

27
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>hungry when you know, I'm sleep deprived as everybody is.

28
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't really want pizza, and so I ended

29
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.599
<v Speaker 2>up ordering their one of their pastas, which actually wasn't

30
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 2>too bad. I created my own basta and added feta

31
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 2>and spinach to it, and.

32
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 1>I have not had Dominoes, like I speared to god.

33
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>It might have been twenty years. I didn't know you

34
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 1>could create your own pasta.

35
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.959
<v Speaker 2>I got really excited because they have salads too, and

36
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>they look delicious. But then there may be lettuce and

37
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 2>I can't do guy sperg lettus.

38
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>So we are not sponsored by Dominos or no. No.

39
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>But then I went to bed last night, I could

40
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>just like feel my hands swelling, and like I was like,

41
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna take my rings off before I go to sleep.

42
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 2>I may not wight wake up the middle of the

43
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>night and I'll be able to get them off. I'm

44
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.280
<v Speaker 2>not used to eatings like stuff like that. Yeah, and

45
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 2>then this morning I woke up my husband hydroplaned in

46
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 2>his work truck.

47
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>He's got a big box truck, and so he's freaked out.

48
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 1>He can't have a wreck. He did not have a wreck.

49
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>That's good, thankfully. He came right back home. Oh and

50
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 1>my husband's very high anxiety.

51
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>And anyways, he's had tires on order but just hasn't

52
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>been able to get the truck to the shop to

53
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.759
<v Speaker 2>get them put on. So he was like, we've got

54
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 2>to get You've got to get up right now. You've

55
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 2>got to take me to the shop. So and you

56
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>know me, I'm not I like to ease into my day.

57
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 2>Once I ease into my day, i can go full

58
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.080
<v Speaker 2>thrott all the rest of the day. But I'm I'm

59
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna ease. And so it was like, you know, somebody

60
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 2>splashed water on me this morning. I've been running ever since.

61
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I've had a running. I'm not hungry.

62
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>I'd have like a big well that's good, you know,

63
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.960
<v Speaker 2>stressed out hunger thing, but not hungry.

64
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 1>That's good. Well, I'm super excited because I'm starting a

65
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 1>new project, which I've talked to you about, but I

66
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>am finally, finally going to be officially starting a Jen

67
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Stevens YouTube channel. Love it, I know, and you know

68
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>all and whenever anyone asked me, I always said, no,

69
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do video.

70
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't want to dow thy seventeen.

71
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Like literally, people are like, why don't you have a

72
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 1>YouTube channel? Like I don't want to. I don't want

73
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 1>to have video. And I also didn't used to watch

74
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>anything on YouTube, which honestly, I think it's only been

75
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>a year that I've been a YouTube consumer of content

76
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 1>and now I'm like, oh oh, I love YouTube. So

77
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>what's really cool is my son Will is going to

78
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 1>be my video editor. He's you know, he's twenty five.

79
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.919
<v Speaker 1>He knows how to do stuff like that. Like he

80
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 1>had his first YouTube channel when he was twelve years old,

81
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 1>So I love that he was on YouTube thirteen years ago.

82
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.319
<v Speaker 1>He and his friends had a channel. And so just

83
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, like the time feels right to

84
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>do it. So he's gonna help me and going into

85
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.879
<v Speaker 1>going into business together kind of kind of reminds me

86
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>of when Cal did the window app. Which he's no

87
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 1>longer associated with, and now I'm using Will's creator skills

88
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.519
<v Speaker 1>to help me, because that's been kind of what holds

89
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>me back is feeling like where do I begin? Who

90
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>helps me with this? Trying to hire people that I

91
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.639
<v Speaker 1>don't want to edit video, right, I want to do?

92
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I get that.

93
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean like when I wanted to start the Life

94
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Lessons podcast and I was like, if I didn't have

95
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:38.439
<v Speaker 2>you to like ask questions and then you jumped on

96
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 2>board with that whole project, I would have been lost.

97
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know the first thing about.

98
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 2>Starting a podcast and exactly, so I mean just even

99
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.160
<v Speaker 2>like who do you use to edit it? And then

100
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, like I know other people too, like our

101
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 2>friend Bet who had the big bold Life podcast, which

102
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't think she's doing it anymore. I think it

103
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 2>was just too much for it because she was self

104
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 2>editing and she was not about having hour a week

105
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 2>that she's using self editing it. And I just thought,

106
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't have I'm not a computer genius one of

107
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 2>those people that if I can click and point and

108
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 2>it does it great and if it doesn't, I'm gonna

109
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>call the help desk. I mean, yeah, so it's great

110
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.120
<v Speaker 2>having somebody that everybody has their skill set.

111
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I always was like, I don't really want

112
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 1>to be on video, Like it's scary to be on video.

113
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I'm on YouTube all over the

114
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.759
<v Speaker 1>place people who have had me on their episodes that

115
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.959
<v Speaker 1>have video podcasts, so literally, like you can find one

116
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 1>hundred videos with me on it. So I'm like, why

117
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>am I not just making my own content? But it

118
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>just finally felt right again. I guess I had to

119
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>be on YouTube as a consumer for a year. But

120
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>my channel's not ready yet. I mean it might be

121
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>by the time this episode comes out on June fourth,

122
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>but I'll put it out by email and then I'll

123
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 1>let everybody know officially when it's up and going, But

124
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 1>who knows how long it will take. I'm figuring it

125
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.360
<v Speaker 1>all out. Thank you.

126
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.439
<v Speaker 2>I love that you just always you when things feel

127
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 2>right to you, you just dive in.

128
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Well I do. And I also, like Chad always said,

129
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.279
<v Speaker 1>you just jump into things, and I'm like, really, I'd

130
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>never jump into anything because I've already been percolating it

131
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 1>in my mind for like years and then you know,

132
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.560
<v Speaker 1>gathering and then just all of a sudden, I'm like,

133
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>now it's right. It's always like, it's a very intuitive feeling.

134
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>When something feels right, it feels right, and it doesn't

135
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>feel right until it feels right. So yep. Anyway, that's

136
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 1>how my brain works. It's constantly thinking and then.

137
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>You have that aha moment where it all clicks and

138
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, now it's and then yeah, exactly, Literally everything.

139
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Is like that.

140
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Well that's the way it worked when we like changed

141
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 2>the structure of the Facebook group and then when we

142
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.279
<v Speaker 2>made the decision to close the Facebook group because it

143
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:54.439
<v Speaker 2>got just too out of hand, right, Yeah.

144
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.680
<v Speaker 1>And it wasn't a spur of the moment decision. It

145
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>was percolating for a long time.

146
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean it seemed like it. I was actually with

147
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Jen when she made the decision. I think it was

148
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>when we decided that we were going to close the

149
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Facebook group to to post posts and said we just

150
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:11.959
<v Speaker 2>had a place where people could ask questions and answers

151
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>each day. And you got you literally we were at

152
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 2>the beach. You got out the shower and you said,

153
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.959
<v Speaker 2>I've made a decision. I always think of things to

154
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:20.839
<v Speaker 2>the show, and I've said when do you want to

155
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:22.800
<v Speaker 2>start that? Like, do you want to start that the

156
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.560
<v Speaker 2>first month, and Genaz, I want to start that right now.

157
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.759
<v Speaker 1>We're going to do that right now. Well, and I

158
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:31.959
<v Speaker 1>don't know if anybody knows the behind the scenes of

159
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.439
<v Speaker 1>what happened, but it was there was a very a

160
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>member was like having some problematic issues while I was asleep,

161
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.879
<v Speaker 1>and so some moderators were trying to deal with this

162
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>very problematic member that like went insane and then started

163
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.319
<v Speaker 1>like taking out her frustrations on what was going on. Meanwhile,

164
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm asleep. You're asleep. You're asleep because it's the middle

165
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>of the night where we were. And I woke up

166
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:56.879
<v Speaker 1>in the morning and all this had gone on behind

167
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.279
<v Speaker 1>the scenes, and in the moderator chat, everybody was like

168
00:07:59.279 --> 00:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>what do we do?

169
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:00.279
<v Speaker 2>What we do?

170
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Jen's asleep and they're like, well, let's just block her

171
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:04.600
<v Speaker 1>from the group and then jenkin to handle it in

172
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the morning. Well, and between that time and when I

173
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:10.199
<v Speaker 1>woke up, she went nuts. The person who had been

174
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>blocked and went and made really really negative comments on

175
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Fast Feast repeat reviews on Amazon and it had just

176
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.079
<v Speaker 1>come out like literally like that week, and and she

177
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.079
<v Speaker 1>like said all these terrible things about me, and I

178
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 1>wasn't even involved in the decision, and it was like

179
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.279
<v Speaker 1>a one star review with a bunch of really negative

180
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 1>stuff and I wasn't even involved in the issue. And

181
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Okay, this is not good. There's too much

182
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>potential for people to get really really upset on Facebook.

183
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.679
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, we gotta we got to postop to this,

184
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Like I can't be worried about this. I got to

185
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>sleep sometimes.

186
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, i't to say Jenna's not available twenty four to seven.

187
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm a human, I am not a robot. And sometimes

188
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I sleep, and sometimes I got to dinner, and sometimes

189
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>it's Mother's Day, and you know, anyway, I was like,

190
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I just I can't. I can't be always worried that

191
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>someone's not going to handle something the way I would,

192
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.159
<v Speaker 1>and then someone's going to retaliate, and that would just

193
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>really it really upset me. So yeah, and then you know,

194
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:08.879
<v Speaker 1>it's funny to me, I was just thinking while you

195
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 1>were talking. When we had the Facebook group and people

196
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:14.399
<v Speaker 1>would submit questions, you know, we had post approval turned on,

197
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>so as moderators, we would read the question and then

198
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.759
<v Speaker 1>we would approve it. Some things we just didn't approve

199
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:25.559
<v Speaker 1>because they were just way off topic or didn't align

200
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.639
<v Speaker 1>with the principles of the clean fast as we you know,

201
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 1>know it or whatever, and so we would a lot

202
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>of and some things were just very repetitive, and we

203
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>would answer their question kind of behind the scenes and

204
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.879
<v Speaker 1>send them their response without posting it. And but if.

205
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.679
<v Speaker 2>Somebody's posted and get approved in like two minutes, they

206
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 2>would post it again and they'd be like, I don't

207
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.960
<v Speaker 2>know why you won't want to answer my question, and

208
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.480
<v Speaker 2>it's like, we're fifty deep, we haven't even got to

209
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.120
<v Speaker 2>your question yet. And so it was funny to me

210
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.360
<v Speaker 2>that I just thought, you know, over since we went

211
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.440
<v Speaker 2>to a private online community, people will post things, but

212
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:01.200
<v Speaker 2>they are like so much more patient. I know, oh

213
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's five o'clock in the morning where you

214
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Jenn's at and she's maybe not awake yet, and they

215
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.879
<v Speaker 2>just wait for Jen to get to their posts and

216
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>answer their question, and I will get there eventually posting

217
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:16.679
<v Speaker 2>their question three more times saying Jen.

218
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Where are you? What is Jen? Derek? One time when

219
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 1>we were when I was teaching, before I had moderators,

220
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:25.840
<v Speaker 1>it was just me doing it to buy myself. There

221
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:28.879
<v Speaker 1>was some guy who got really mad that someone had

222
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.159
<v Speaker 1>posted a post this before we had post approval, people

223
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>just posted stuff. This is when I think all I

224
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>had was the one Mula Day group. Someone posted something

225
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.399
<v Speaker 1>weird and controversial. I don't know what it was. I

226
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>can't even remember. But then somebody else got so mad

227
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>that I would allow that. But literally, I'm teaching school.

228
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm teaching school in box. My messenger's blowing up because

229
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.879
<v Speaker 1>all this is happening, and I'm like, sorry, children, I

230
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's happening. And then this guy's bashing me.

231
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.399
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe I'm unfollowing. I'm never going to listen

232
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.879
<v Speaker 1>to another thing, Jen says. I'm like, oh my gosh,

233
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:06.200
<v Speaker 1>what's happen Anyway, I didn't even know what was going

234
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>on because I was teaching elementary school.

235
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so for anybody who wonders why we're not on

236
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Facebook anymore, it just got out of control. I had

237
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 2>three groups and there were over five hundred thousand people,

238
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 2>so it's nuts, and we imagine everybody changed that on

239
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:23.240
<v Speaker 2>a daily basis.

240
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was. It was a lot. But the having

241
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>our online community, that's just that we didn't start off.

242
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll have a head for community today, but having our

243
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 1>online community where people actually don't just wander in off

244
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the Facebook street. They have to intentionally go to Gen

245
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Stevens dot com slash community to join it. And you know,

246
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.080
<v Speaker 1>it's not a lot to join. It's like nine to

247
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine a month. You know, you can go in

248
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.320
<v Speaker 1>for the year for half that, but it's not a lot.

249
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.879
<v Speaker 1>But the people who are there are invested, right that

250
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>that little bit of investment, like literally not ninety nine

251
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>a month. If you're an intermittent faster, you save way

252
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>more than ninety nine a month living the intermittent fasting lifestyle, right,

253
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.200
<v Speaker 1>And so you know, intermittent fasting is the lifestyle that

254
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.759
<v Speaker 1>pays for itself. Even if you joined the community, you're

255
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:13.200
<v Speaker 1>still making money, but just having that little bit, you know,

256
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.919
<v Speaker 1>it just the people who are there want to be there.

257
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.440
<v Speaker 1>They're looking for help in a positive place, and they

258
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:24.120
<v Speaker 1>also understand the clean fast which is really huge. So yeah, no.

259
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:27.840
<v Speaker 2>One I want that way that the community has really

260
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.120
<v Speaker 2>come together and people really support each other and people

261
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.360
<v Speaker 2>are really forming real friendships in there and meeting people

262
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 2>in real life. Some people met up in Indianapolis last

263
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.759
<v Speaker 2>week or last weekend, and then some more people met

264
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.320
<v Speaker 2>up again just yesterday and they posted some pictures and

265
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.320
<v Speaker 2>like one of our committee members is going to meet

266
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.720
<v Speaker 2>up with some people in Indiana sometimes the summer, I think,

267
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.399
<v Speaker 2>and she lives in Colorado, and.

268
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:53.480
<v Speaker 1>So I just love to see it.

269
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:55.399
<v Speaker 2>We had a group of girls go to Vegas and

270
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:59.440
<v Speaker 2>had a girls in Vegas and so it's not I mean,

271
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:05.120
<v Speaker 2>it's it's so much deeper than just a random I.

272
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Have yete in my fast right, It's not just like

273
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 1>that and people post. What when you know it's a

274
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.399
<v Speaker 1>community is when people are posting things about their lives

275
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 1>that might not even be related to fasting, but then

276
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the community is happy to hear about it, right, Yeah, like, look,

277
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.799
<v Speaker 1>I have a new grand baby, you know, right, you

278
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 1>don't have to say I have a new grand baby

279
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.320
<v Speaker 1>and it's affected my fad. No, well, having an awful.

280
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.799
<v Speaker 2>Day and she said, I know this isn't fasting related,

281
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 2>but I'm having awful day blah blahlahlah blah, and I'm

282
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:35.399
<v Speaker 2>really trying not to see myself with food. And I'm like,

283
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 2>that is totally that is totally fasting related. And secondly,

284
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>you could share anything. I'm like, everything in life is

285
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:46.320
<v Speaker 2>fasting related. Really everything from you. They didn't have your

286
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:47.240
<v Speaker 2>favorite bread at the.

287
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:50.840
<v Speaker 3>Grocery store too, you had a really bad day at work,

288
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.279
<v Speaker 3>or your boss stressed you out, or you lost your job,

289
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:55.720
<v Speaker 3>Because that's all going to affect how you feel and

290
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.000
<v Speaker 3>how you react and how you handle.

291
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.960
<v Speaker 2>You know that those strong emotions and whether or not

292
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.879
<v Speaker 2>you choose to soothe with food and have a longer window,

293
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 2>or you decide to stick firm and stick with your

294
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.320
<v Speaker 2>window and do something else to feel better, or you know,

295
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.919
<v Speaker 2>even if it's just come into community just to vents

296
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 2>and to get some support from others.

297
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:15.559
<v Speaker 1>And so I just I love.

298
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I love what community has become and how much deeper

299
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.879
<v Speaker 2>it's it's become. And so the people who don't want that,

300
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.559
<v Speaker 2>they pop in, they share their daily successes, They shared

301
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:27.360
<v Speaker 2>their you know, they went to the gym each day

302
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>or whatever it is. Everybody makes the community, they use

303
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:34.799
<v Speaker 2>it in a way that benefits them, and it's it's

304
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:35.600
<v Speaker 2>just great.

305
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>For that, I think. So I didn't realize how many

306
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>people we have that just work.

307
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.919
<v Speaker 2>And eventually they'll make their first post like nine months

308
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:46.879
<v Speaker 2>after being there.

309
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Or not even at all, Like there's somebody there that

310
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:52.919
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know was still coming and I posted something

311
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 1>personally and when when you know? When we talked about

312
00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:58.159
<v Speaker 1>this on the podcast how Chad is in north of

313
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Godston Now and I made a post about it in

314
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.360
<v Speaker 1>the community and I heard from people who had read

315
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:06.399
<v Speaker 1>it and sent me private message. I didn't know they

316
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.639
<v Speaker 1>were still actively engaged. Oh, and I'm like, oh, you're

317
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.799
<v Speaker 1>still there. So people are still there. They're reading. But

318
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people just like to consume the content.

319
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 1>But for everybody who's listening to the podcast, if you're

320
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:21.840
<v Speaker 1>someone who just comes in in and reads and that's it,

321
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:25.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe you've been burned on real social media because hey,

322
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I get it right. You know, one thing we don't

323
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.720
<v Speaker 1>allot We don't allow any politics. We don't allow people

324
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.279
<v Speaker 1>to make fun of your food. I mean, we don't

325
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.799
<v Speaker 1>allow that in our community. We don't really have people

326
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to do all that, but we don't. Thank goodness,

327
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>but just take some time to comment on the post

328
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.200
<v Speaker 1>of others like that is the one thing I would

329
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.000
<v Speaker 1>like to encourage everybody to do. You don't have to

330
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 1>make your own posts. If you don't want to do,

331
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.919
<v Speaker 1>not make your own posts unless you're comfortable. That's fine.

332
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:55.679
<v Speaker 1>But every time you visit, say I'm going to comment

333
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.159
<v Speaker 1>on five other posts, and you might also think that

334
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.200
<v Speaker 1>you don't have anything to like, well, I can't give

335
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:04.240
<v Speaker 1>any advice. I'm not jen I'm not surey, I don't know.

336
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.840
<v Speaker 1>You can give advice. And what happens is when you

337
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.840
<v Speaker 1>give someone else's advice, like someone's like, I'm really trying,

338
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, not to put something in my coffee. I

339
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know what to do because I'm struggling today. If

340
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 1>you tell someone you can do it, you can just

341
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.919
<v Speaker 1>keep fast and clean, that helps you feel more motivated

342
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to fast clean. Or if you tell somebody you had

343
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.159
<v Speaker 1>a bad day and it's okay, don't beat yourself up,

344
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.399
<v Speaker 1>then you internalize that for yourself as well. So all

345
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.879
<v Speaker 1>of the good advice you're giving to other people, you

346
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:39.879
<v Speaker 1>take on that good advice. So commenting on the posts

347
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.559
<v Speaker 1>of others helps them, and that's one reason why we

348
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:44.759
<v Speaker 1>have a great community. But it also helps you.

349
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:47.799
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, and I was gonna say, even if you

350
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:53.480
<v Speaker 2>aren't comfortable posting, when you read, I find this when

351
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.759
<v Speaker 2>you read other people's posts with their struggles or their

352
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.159
<v Speaker 2>concerns or whatever, and then you read the comments back

353
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.840
<v Speaker 2>to them. I feel like you learned so much, Like

354
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:05.680
<v Speaker 2>you just take in so much you're like, oh, I

355
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:08.039
<v Speaker 2>never thought of it that way, or and it just

356
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.440
<v Speaker 2>really opens your mind up. And then as you start

357
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:17.519
<v Speaker 2>seeing people encourage other people and whatever, it grows. It's

358
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of like you know, if you smile at one person,

359
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.759
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna smile at another. Like smile spread. It's kind

360
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.039
<v Speaker 2>of that same thing. It's that, you know, encouragement. And

361
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 2>then like as like Jin said, as you start encouraging

362
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.279
<v Speaker 2>other people and you talk to them in an encouraging manner,

363
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.920
<v Speaker 2>then when you start catching yourself talk to yourself negatively,

364
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:40.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, I can't do this, I can't do that.

365
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:41.880
<v Speaker 2>And if you can stop and be like, would I

366
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.160
<v Speaker 2>tell somebody in the community that no, what I tell them?

367
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Right?

368
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:48.039
<v Speaker 2>And then you have practice encouraging people. So then you

369
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.119
<v Speaker 2>have now you can turn around, you can use those

370
00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:52.519
<v Speaker 2>words on yourself, and you can change the tapes in

371
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:54.680
<v Speaker 2>your head and the words you say to yourself in

372
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.440
<v Speaker 2>your head, and so it just grows. It just grows.

373
00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:59.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't I just think it's wonderful.

374
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:04.319
<v Speaker 1>So I think so too. Enough of that, yeah, Jim

375
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.039
<v Speaker 1>Jem dot com slash community, but we really would love

376
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.359
<v Speaker 1>to have y'all there because it just makes such a difference.

377
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:11.839
<v Speaker 1>I really think it's helped me stay on tracks.

378
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if I always get really upset, I don't. Sometimes

379
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:17.799
<v Speaker 2>I get behind on the weekends because I'm working and sleeping.

380
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, i might work for thirteen hours and try

381
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:23.599
<v Speaker 2>to try to sleep for eight, So that doesn't leave

382
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot a lot of time to get in community

383
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.000
<v Speaker 2>unless I'm just having a slow night at work. And

384
00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:30.039
<v Speaker 2>then something will happen during the weekend, somebody that make

385
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:32.319
<v Speaker 2>a post and they'll like allude to something that they

386
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.599
<v Speaker 2>said earlier, and I'm like, I don't remember that, because

387
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:36.680
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I know pretty much all the people

388
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.720
<v Speaker 2>and all the posts. So then I'll have to go

389
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 2>back and look at their past posts, and like I'll

390
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:42.960
<v Speaker 2>miss something. I'll miss some event or something that happened.

391
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:44.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel like so out of the loop, and then

392
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:45.160
<v Speaker 2>I have.

393
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:45.920
<v Speaker 1>To get caught up.

394
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:50.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because it's like I can't. I don't know.

395
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:50.880
<v Speaker 1>It's hard.

396
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.039
<v Speaker 2>It's hard for me to support you when I don't

397
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>know what you're going through. So then I have to

398
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:56.880
<v Speaker 2>go dig into some research and but we do.

399
00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:59.279
<v Speaker 1>We do look back on past posts and see if

400
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:01.359
<v Speaker 1>someone's having a challenge. We're like, let's see what's been

401
00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:05.039
<v Speaker 1>going on. And yep, Like if on day one and

402
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.759
<v Speaker 1>they've posted on one day one forty two times, we

403
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:12.119
<v Speaker 1>know they need a different kind of support, right right, Yeah, yep. Yeah.

404
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.920
<v Speaker 2>So if you've been afraid to join, or you think

405
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:17.440
<v Speaker 2>you're not a group person, or you don't think you

406
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:20.960
<v Speaker 2>need support, I would encourage you to join for one month.

407
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:23.039
<v Speaker 2>We re still had somebody do that. She was going

408
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:24.799
<v Speaker 2>to join for her twenty eight day fast start and

409
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:26.640
<v Speaker 2>that was it. She was just going to get helped

410
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:28.279
<v Speaker 2>through the twenty eight days. And then she said, oh

411
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:29.480
<v Speaker 2>my gosh, I love it here so much.

412
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not leaving.

413
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.160
<v Speaker 2>I just re up for a year. And so yeah,

414
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:36.920
<v Speaker 2>we give it a shot, because I think you'll be surprised.

415
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, let's move on to our weekly celebration,

416
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:42.599
<v Speaker 2>and this week we have a celebration from.

417
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Proud in Pittsburgh. She wrote.

418
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Recently, my hubby and I, who have been fasting since

419
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:51.559
<v Speaker 2>September of twenty twenty three, drove ten hours from Pittsburgh

420
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.319
<v Speaker 2>to Iowa City. I didn't open my eating window until

421
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:58.559
<v Speaker 2>two pm, even though road trips have always been full

422
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:03.000
<v Speaker 2>of crappy, processed, snacky and or rust stop food. Instead,

423
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:06.039
<v Speaker 2>I held out packed some healthy snacks and opened with

424
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.960
<v Speaker 2>almonds and apple and some yummy, healthy dried at a

425
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.000
<v Speaker 2>mommy in the car. Then that evening, we indulged in

426
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:14.839
<v Speaker 2>our old favorite pizza for dinner, and we followed it

427
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.559
<v Speaker 2>up with some yummy desserts. Funny enough, I experienced major

428
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.880
<v Speaker 2>appetite correction with my brownie Sunday dessert. Although I've always loved, love,

429
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.160
<v Speaker 2>love chocolate, for the very first time in my life,

430
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:28.079
<v Speaker 2>I said, there's too much chocolate here, and I stopped

431
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:31.880
<v Speaker 2>eating about halfway through the dessert. This is a groundbreaking

432
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.599
<v Speaker 2>thing for me, like literally groundbreaking. I felt so much

433
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.559
<v Speaker 2>better in the morning having only eaten half of the dessert,

434
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:40.880
<v Speaker 2>and I was able to eat the other half the

435
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:41.680
<v Speaker 2>following night.

436
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:45.680
<v Speaker 1>When when I love it proud in Pittsburgh, that is

437
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:49.279
<v Speaker 1>really great. And the thing is, we have so many

438
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:53.279
<v Speaker 1>stories in our head like, oh, I'm not gonna get

439
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:55.920
<v Speaker 1>to have my typical.

440
00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:00.079
<v Speaker 4>Roads snacks right instead, though, you're like I am not

441
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.000
<v Speaker 4>going to have those typical road snacks, and you made

442
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:05.640
<v Speaker 4>different choices and you didn't feel like you were missing

443
00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:06.519
<v Speaker 4>out on anything.

444
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:08.960
<v Speaker 1>You went to the place you loved to eat. You

445
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:14.039
<v Speaker 1>ate until you'd had enough, and then you stopped. That's amazing. Yep.

446
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, Now we have question from a listener. This

447
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:23.559
<v Speaker 1>question is from Tiffany Kim in Louisville. I've been struggling

448
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.039
<v Speaker 1>and was just on my morning walk listening to the

449
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.839
<v Speaker 1>Fast Feast Repeat podcast when I had a light bulb moment.

450
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I need to ask Gin and Sherry for their advice.

451
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm almost forty one years old. I'm five ft two

452
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:39.200
<v Speaker 1>and a half inches. I was adopted from South Korea

453
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.599
<v Speaker 1>at three months old into a Caucasian family. I'm only

454
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.960
<v Speaker 1>now realizing that I've had self identity and self image

455
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.519
<v Speaker 1>issues my whole life. As a young child, I couldn't

456
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:51.640
<v Speaker 1>find the words to describe my feelings, and I felt

457
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:54.160
<v Speaker 1>like I had no one to talk to. I remember

458
00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:56.799
<v Speaker 1>my very first diet. I think I was around eleven.

459
00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I had a neighborhood friend who was tall and had

460
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:02.000
<v Speaker 1>a large her frame. Her parents made her go on

461
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:05.039
<v Speaker 1>a diet, and at some point she did sugar Busters

462
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:07.079
<v Speaker 1>and the cabbage soup diet. Oh, I remember that you

463
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.319
<v Speaker 1>sugar Sugarbusters. I don't know. I don't really Sugarbusters wasn't

464
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:12.880
<v Speaker 1>a thing where I was from, and I've heard of it,

465
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:17.519
<v Speaker 1>but it was low car. But the guy diet when

466
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:20.039
<v Speaker 1>we do know that the sugar Busters was, he was like,

467
00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:22.039
<v Speaker 1>you might have been from like Alabama. He was from

468
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:24.519
<v Speaker 1>our Louisiana. He was from some southern state, but it

469
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:27.599
<v Speaker 1>was it was low carb. I had it, you know,

470
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:31.039
<v Speaker 1>I had it, so she said, So I did too.

471
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:34.079
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy to think about now that my mom allowed it.

472
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 1>We would we would have needed help getting to the

473
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:39.480
<v Speaker 1>grocery store for those specific foods. And that's when it

474
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:43.680
<v Speaker 1>all started. I've tried every single diet out there, low carb,

475
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:49.359
<v Speaker 1>low calorie, weight Watchers, Fentermine, hCG GLP ones. I even

476
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.119
<v Speaker 1>did a modified low calorie diet under the supervision of

477
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.240
<v Speaker 1>a bariatric surgeon, thinking surgery would be my last resort.

478
00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:59.359
<v Speaker 1>I've been a notorious daily wear since I got my

479
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:02.680
<v Speaker 1>first spy bound planner in high school. Yes, I have

480
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.240
<v Speaker 1>all of my weight history since then. I started fasting

481
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:09.240
<v Speaker 1>on February twenty ninth of twenty twenty, and I thank

482
00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:12.200
<v Speaker 1>God for that timing. Right before COVID, if I had

483
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:14.799
<v Speaker 1>gone into the pandemic. Without fasting, I don't know where

484
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:18.480
<v Speaker 1>i'd be. A friend recommended, delayed on, deny on audible.

485
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.759
<v Speaker 1>I started that very day. I had great success, and honestly,

486
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:26.640
<v Speaker 1>fasting saved me during COVID, being stuck at home at

487
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.799
<v Speaker 1>no restaurants, and we found ways to stay active outside.

488
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I immediately lost a lot of inflammation, especially in my face.

489
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.799
<v Speaker 1>I vividly remember posting a face to face photo in

490
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:40.200
<v Speaker 1>your Facebook group and it got over five thousand likes.

491
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 1>I was blown away. Lately, I've tried to stay off

492
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:45.839
<v Speaker 1>the scale because it messes with my mind. I've been

493
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:49.240
<v Speaker 1>taking daily progress photos, nothing fancy, just a quick picture

494
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:51.880
<v Speaker 1>of myself in the morning, and using an app called

495
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:54.960
<v Speaker 1>See How You Eat. It's a daily photologue with six

496
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>squares and I'll fill them with pictures from my day. Yesterday,

497
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:02.559
<v Speaker 1>I felt great. I wore my sized medium shirt and pants.

498
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I walked over seven miles, and I did a poll

499
00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:09.079
<v Speaker 1>day routine at the gym. I wonder if that was

500
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:12.200
<v Speaker 1>full day. It's a pull day? Well Day said that

501
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:13.799
<v Speaker 1>what is pull day? She was on to talk about

502
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:17.400
<v Speaker 1>it later? Oh, okay, she said, I completed a twenty

503
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:21.200
<v Speaker 1>nine hour fast yesterday afternoon, I had a six month

504
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:23.839
<v Speaker 1>follow up, actually eight months since I had rescheduled due

505
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:27.640
<v Speaker 1>to anxiety about the photos with my plastic surgeon. In

506
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:31.200
<v Speaker 1>August twenty twenty four, I had a mommy makeover, a breastlift,

507
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:35.200
<v Speaker 1>tommy tuck, and liposuction. I feel amazing and thought I

508
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:38.240
<v Speaker 1>was looking pretty good too. Then I got to my car,

509
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:42.680
<v Speaker 1>opened the before and after photos and immediately felt discouraged, disappointed,

510
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:48.279
<v Speaker 1>and full of diet thoughts. Should I count macros, calories points,

511
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.640
<v Speaker 1>go low carb tri medication? My mind was swirling. Then

512
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:54.720
<v Speaker 1>this morning I got on the scale. It flashed one

513
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:58.319
<v Speaker 1>ninety four point four. I've read all your book recommendations.

514
00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:01.039
<v Speaker 1>I've listened to every podcast. I feel like you're number

515
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:03.480
<v Speaker 1>one fan. I've wanted to come on your show and

516
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:06.720
<v Speaker 1>tell my story so badly, but I'm not ready. Over

517
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:10.039
<v Speaker 1>the years, my fasting and windows have changed. I'm not

518
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:12.799
<v Speaker 1>a creature of habit, more of a free spirit. I've

519
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:15.240
<v Speaker 1>done some adf I'm a stricter during the week and

520
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.440
<v Speaker 1>more flexible on weekends. I use the zero app and

521
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:22.079
<v Speaker 1>I have almost oney eight hundred fasts recorded. I also

522
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:24.319
<v Speaker 1>use the Happy Scale app, but I have not been

523
00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:27.720
<v Speaker 1>weighing daily lately. I try so hard to be someone

524
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't care about the scale, but I do. I

525
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:34.400
<v Speaker 1>was once diagnosed with fatty liver and had elevated liver enzymes.

526
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:37.680
<v Speaker 1>That's now resolved. My A one C is now normal.

527
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:41.359
<v Speaker 1>My cholesterol is one fifty. My triglyst rides are seventy nine.

528
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.519
<v Speaker 1>My resting heart rate is fifty six. I'm very active.

529
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm easily able to walk five miles a day. I

530
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:50.759
<v Speaker 1>go to pilates at least once a week. I played

531
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:54.319
<v Speaker 1>tennis with my daughter. I've recently gotten into strength training

532
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:58.680
<v Speaker 1>at the gym, doing a rotation of push pull and legs.

533
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I drink socially, maybe once a month if that. I

534
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:04.519
<v Speaker 1>eat what sounds good to me. I love lean meats

535
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:08.359
<v Speaker 1>and vegetables. I still eat fast food, sweets, and soda,

536
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:11.839
<v Speaker 1>but only in my window and not every day. I've

537
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:14.319
<v Speaker 1>always done a clean fast because I never knew any

538
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:18.079
<v Speaker 1>other way. I've been fasting for over five years. I

539
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.279
<v Speaker 1>consistently wear a size medium in tops and an eight

540
00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:24.200
<v Speaker 1>to ten in pants. I don't want to be super thin,

541
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:27.519
<v Speaker 1>I want to be strong and healthy, so here I

542
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:30.640
<v Speaker 1>am living my goal lifestyle. But I just can't get

543
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:34.160
<v Speaker 1>over that number on the scale. It feels way too high.

544
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:37.119
<v Speaker 1>My highest adult weight was two twenty eight and the

545
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:39.759
<v Speaker 1>lowest I've seen as an adult is one fifty one

546
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:44.240
<v Speaker 1>on diet pills is one ninety my set weight. The

547
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:47.920
<v Speaker 1>number feels wrong. I have to lose weight, but I

548
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:50.519
<v Speaker 1>don't know how to get it off. Sometimes I think

549
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:52.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe I've done decades of damage to my buy and

550
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:55.839
<v Speaker 1>it needs time to heal. But shouldn't five years be enough?

551
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Do I throw away the scale? I have the biggest

552
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.160
<v Speaker 1>fear of regaining at all. Is it that my body

553
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:05.480
<v Speaker 1>is still recovering from surgery? But it's been six months. Oh,

554
00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:08.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, eight months. I just feel stuck like a

555
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:11.359
<v Speaker 1>hamster and a wheel. Gin and Sherry, I need your

556
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:12.400
<v Speaker 1>words of wisdom.

557
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:18.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, I can just say that I understand

558
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:21.960
<v Speaker 2>when you are in a body and it's not the

559
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:26.079
<v Speaker 2>body you desire. But also I know that we have

560
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:28.440
<v Speaker 2>to work with the body we have. We have to

561
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:32.279
<v Speaker 2>work with our genetics. And I am never going to

562
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:36.519
<v Speaker 2>be I'm never going to have Gin's body. Doesn't matter

563
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:39.319
<v Speaker 2>what I do, I'm never going to have Gin's body.

564
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:44.839
<v Speaker 2>I am a larger framed, tall woman. I have a

565
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.799
<v Speaker 2>lot of muscle mass on my body. It's just the

566
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:52.000
<v Speaker 2>way I'm built. And so part of part of this,

567
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:54.759
<v Speaker 2>I think is that you need to learn to love

568
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:58.079
<v Speaker 2>your body, the body that you're in. You know, if

569
00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:01.599
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to achieve the a look that is not

570
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:06.920
<v Speaker 2>the way your body is designed, then it doesn't matter

571
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:10.519
<v Speaker 2>how little the skill reflects back to you. If you

572
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.680
<v Speaker 2>don't like your body, you're not gonna like your body.

573
00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:15.720
<v Speaker 2>So I think part of this comes to, you know,

574
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:18.279
<v Speaker 2>really finding peace with the body that you're in.

575
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:20.880
<v Speaker 1>And you know, you may not.

576
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Prefer the build that you have, but it's what you

577
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:24.160
<v Speaker 2>have to work with.

578
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Now.

579
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:28.039
<v Speaker 2>With that said, I did run your numbers through Happy

580
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Scale you know you ever or not? I'm sorry through

581
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.200
<v Speaker 2>smart me am. I yeah, you you are out of

582
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.559
<v Speaker 2>the green zone. So you do need to lose some weight.

583
00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Are you strong and you know fit? Absolutely? And that

584
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:47.359
<v Speaker 2>goes a long way. You know, there's been talk through

585
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 2>the years that you know, you can be overweight and

586
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:52.039
<v Speaker 2>as long as you are active and you have a

587
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of muscle mass and you have healthy metabolic profile

588
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:59.480
<v Speaker 2>that you know you can be healthy at a heavier weight.

589
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Can you lose weight. I'm sure you can. You're going

590
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:07.119
<v Speaker 2>to have to be able to make some changes. You

591
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 2>said you know that you're stricter during the week and

592
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:12.200
<v Speaker 2>you're more flexible on weekends. You don't ever really say

593
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:16.640
<v Speaker 2>what your average eating window is, right, So that doesn't

594
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean I don't. I can only make a guesstimate

595
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:21.440
<v Speaker 2>and make some advice based off of.

596
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Not knowing that.

597
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:26.359
<v Speaker 2>What I know is we routinely hear that people who

598
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:28.279
<v Speaker 2>are stricter during the week and more flexible on the

599
00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:33.279
<v Speaker 2>weekends often get into a plateau and they struggle until

600
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:36.839
<v Speaker 2>they treat every day the same way. I mean, now,

601
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:39.640
<v Speaker 2>if you were a person doing super super short windows

602
00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:42.720
<v Speaker 2>during the week and then you were having wider window

603
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:45.799
<v Speaker 2>on you know, Saturdays or something, you might be able

604
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:47.559
<v Speaker 2>to make that work for you. It just depends on

605
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:50.119
<v Speaker 2>you how much you eat. Are you a volume eater?

606
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.720
<v Speaker 2>You know that sort of thing. So not knowing that

607
00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:55.960
<v Speaker 2>it makes it a little hard to advise on what

608
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:01.039
<v Speaker 2>to do. If you consistently average a four to five

609
00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:05.480
<v Speaker 2>hour window throughout the week and you're not seeing weight loss,

610
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:09.200
<v Speaker 2>then I think it's probably time to adapt and switch

611
00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:13.599
<v Speaker 2>to ADF. But before doing that you did say that

612
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:16.400
<v Speaker 2>you still love to eat fast foods, sweets and soda

613
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:19.319
<v Speaker 2>and only in your window, which is great, and you

614
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:21.079
<v Speaker 2>said you don't do it every day, but it could

615
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:24.039
<v Speaker 2>be enough that that's holding you back. The fact that

616
00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:27.480
<v Speaker 2>you've had fatty liver and you've had elevated liver enzymes

617
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:31.279
<v Speaker 2>really shows that you've had insulin resistance. So your alcy

618
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:35.160
<v Speaker 2>is normal. I'm curious what you're fasting insulin is right now.

619
00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:38.319
<v Speaker 2>It may be great, it may not be a matter

620
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:41.799
<v Speaker 2>of you even being insolent resistant anymore. So you've healed

621
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:44.839
<v Speaker 2>your fatty liver and you've healed your fasting insulin levels.

622
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:47.319
<v Speaker 2>So now you've just got to get your body into

623
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:49.799
<v Speaker 2>fat burning. You need to make sure that you are

624
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:55.359
<v Speaker 2>eating foods that support your goals. And no matter who

625
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:58.599
<v Speaker 2>you are or I don't care, fast food, sweets and

626
00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:01.680
<v Speaker 2>soda is not going to support or goals for weight loss.

627
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Can you have them now?

628
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:03.880
<v Speaker 1>And again?

629
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Sure, a couple times a week. Probably not. That's not

630
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:09.880
<v Speaker 2>going to support your weight loss goals. So I would

631
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:13.200
<v Speaker 2>really lean into you said you love lead meats and vegetables,

632
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:18.319
<v Speaker 2>really lean into a consistent eating window, choosing foods that

633
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:23.720
<v Speaker 2>support your goals with your history of fatty liver and stuff,

634
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:27.079
<v Speaker 2>sweet soda and fast food, those are like the big

635
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:30.240
<v Speaker 2>contributors to that. So not only are you trying to

636
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.880
<v Speaker 2>eat for the weight that you are trying to achieve,

637
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.640
<v Speaker 2>but you want to eat for health too, right, so

638
00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:39.160
<v Speaker 2>you you know you have a predisposition it sounds like

639
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:42.839
<v Speaker 2>to fatty liver and that goes hand in hand with diabetes.

640
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:45.319
<v Speaker 2>So really start thinking about it from a health and

641
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:50.720
<v Speaker 2>longevity perspective rather than just your size and weight, and

642
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:53.640
<v Speaker 2>start trying to eat, you know, for those type of goals.

643
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:56.960
<v Speaker 2>And then if you've been consistent with your eating window

644
00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:59.160
<v Speaker 2>and you don't really feel like there's a lot of

645
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:02.680
<v Speaker 2>room to adjust your foods, then yeah, I would settle

646
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:06.119
<v Speaker 2>into ADF. I would do it for you know, make

647
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:08.400
<v Speaker 2>a commitment that you're going to do it for six

648
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:12.839
<v Speaker 2>to eight weeks. Weigh every single day, whether you like

649
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:15.680
<v Speaker 2>the number on the scale or not. Weigh every single day,

650
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:22.599
<v Speaker 2>start recording your weekly average, take some measurements and give

651
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:25.319
<v Speaker 2>it a try for eight weeks and see what happens.

652
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Do you have anything else, Jen, Yeah.

653
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:30.920
<v Speaker 1>There's several things that really stuck out to me. First

654
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:33.359
<v Speaker 1>of all, she was feeling so good in her body,

655
00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:37.759
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden didn't Like she's wearing

656
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.400
<v Speaker 1>a size medium top and an eight to ten pants.

657
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:42.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean those there was a time when I just

658
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:46.640
<v Speaker 1>dreamed of being back in a size eight, like when

659
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:49.119
<v Speaker 1>I got back down. Actually, when I got to a

660
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:51.680
<v Speaker 1>size ten after losing weight, that's when I went crazy

661
00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:53.319
<v Speaker 1>and bought way too many clothes. I felt so good

662
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:56.039
<v Speaker 1>in a size ten, and then when I got to

663
00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:59.319
<v Speaker 1>a size eight, it felt like miracle, right because like

664
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:02.440
<v Speaker 1>single digit, so like I was so excited. And so

665
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:04.599
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like you were feeling really good in your body.

666
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:06.960
<v Speaker 1>You had your mommy makeover, and you were feeling really

667
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:12.000
<v Speaker 1>good in your body, and then you didn't like the photos.

668
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:17.720
<v Speaker 1>And it seems to me like not liking the photos said, well,

669
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:19.480
<v Speaker 1>but now I need to look at on the scale.

670
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Then you saw the scale and now you're unhappy. Like

671
00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:28.720
<v Speaker 1>if you could rewind and not not seeing those photos

672
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:31.000
<v Speaker 1>that made you feel bad and not seeing the number

673
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:33.599
<v Speaker 1>on the scale, would you be feeling differently right now?

674
00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:34.960
<v Speaker 1>And I just want you to think about that as

675
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:40.519
<v Speaker 1>information and remember how great you were feeling in your body. Yeah,

676
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:42.559
<v Speaker 1>can I put in real quick too. Yeah, I know,

677
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:43.079
<v Speaker 1>she said.

678
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I think she said somewhere that she takes a daily probably, yeah,

679
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:48.759
<v Speaker 2>she takes a daily picture of herself in the morning,

680
00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:52.440
<v Speaker 2>and I actually I think I would stop doing that.

681
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I am a huge fan of pictures and progress photos,

682
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:58.319
<v Speaker 2>but you're not gonna see a change from day to

683
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:00.799
<v Speaker 2>day to day. And if you're comparing day to day

684
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:02.519
<v Speaker 2>to day, you're not going to see the change. I

685
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:06.319
<v Speaker 2>would go more like, take a progress photo every eight

686
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:10.320
<v Speaker 2>to twelve weeks. Give your body time to change. You

687
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:13.719
<v Speaker 2>can see the difference. And if you're gonna do ADF

688
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.159
<v Speaker 2>for eight weeks, I would definitely take measurements in progress

689
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:17.639
<v Speaker 2>photos at the start of that and then when you

690
00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:20.639
<v Speaker 2>get to eight weeks, repeat those because that's going to

691
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:22.719
<v Speaker 2>give you a lot of information more so than a

692
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:23.599
<v Speaker 2>daily photo.

693
00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Okay, And I actually want to really highlight one a

694
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:31.840
<v Speaker 1>sentence in a question. She said, sometimes I think maybe

695
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I've done decades of damage to my body and it

696
00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:36.719
<v Speaker 1>needs time to heal. But shouldn't five years be enough?

697
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:39.960
<v Speaker 1>So we have to think, you know, there's definitely healing

698
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:42.880
<v Speaker 1>that needs to go on in bodies, and so it

699
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:45.360
<v Speaker 1>sounds like you've healed a lot of things. You've already

700
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:49.880
<v Speaker 1>healed your fatty liver, your A one C is normal,

701
00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:51.920
<v Speaker 1>your cholesterol is good. So it sounds to me like

702
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:55.559
<v Speaker 1>you've had a lot of physical healing. But if you're

703
00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:59.320
<v Speaker 1>not losing weight, there could still be some metabolic damage.

704
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:01.519
<v Speaker 1>Can you know you say you did the hCG, you

705
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:04.480
<v Speaker 1>did the finner mean you did a lot of things.

706
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:08.159
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I did those things too over the years,

707
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and I think I had some metabolic damage. So if

708
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:14.639
<v Speaker 1>you are continuing to do what you're doing right now

709
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:17.519
<v Speaker 1>all the time and you're not losing weight, then you're

710
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:20.719
<v Speaker 1>not addressing what your body needs to lose weight. So

711
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:23.159
<v Speaker 1>when we say, well I just need more time to heal,

712
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:26.639
<v Speaker 1>but if you're not changing something, then the weight is

713
00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:30.119
<v Speaker 1>probably not just going to start dropping off right at

714
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:34.880
<v Speaker 1>this length of time. So we can change food choices

715
00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:38.800
<v Speaker 1>in our intermittent fasting approach. And it sounds like you've

716
00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:41.639
<v Speaker 1>got the fitness and the muscle building under control. But

717
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.199
<v Speaker 1>if you do suspect that you have metabolic damage from

718
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:50.039
<v Speaker 1>past dieting, and you suspect that that is keeping you

719
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:53.599
<v Speaker 1>from losing weight, now that's where ADF comes in and

720
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:56.679
<v Speaker 1>as Sherry said, that could really be what your body needs.

721
00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:58.840
<v Speaker 1>If you don't have the second edition of Delayed on Denial,

722
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:01.480
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and get it and read the ADF chapter

723
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:05.039
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that you're you're doing it with the

724
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.960
<v Speaker 1>most revised recommendations, because if all you have is the

725
00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:10.719
<v Speaker 1>old Delayed on Tonight or even fast East repeat, the

726
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:13.119
<v Speaker 1>recommendations have changed. So the second edition of Delayed on

727
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:17.599
<v Speaker 1>Tonight has the updated recommendations for that, and really see

728
00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:20.039
<v Speaker 1>see how you do with that. Give it a try.

729
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Weighing daily with weekly averaging. I also agree that that

730
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:27.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, justide out of side, out of mind. You

731
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:29.199
<v Speaker 1>didn't realize how how the scale was because you hadn't

732
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:30.679
<v Speaker 1>been weighing at all, and then you saw it and

733
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:33.039
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oh no, And so now you've got that

734
00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:35.760
<v Speaker 1>data and so you can start from where you are

735
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:38.119
<v Speaker 1>and then just see what happens. And that's that's the

736
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:42.239
<v Speaker 1>importance of weight as data. And you know, getting yourself

737
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:44.599
<v Speaker 1>down to the green zone on the smart BMI, I

738
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:47.119
<v Speaker 1>think that would be a great goal. And again for

739
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:48.320
<v Speaker 1>feeling great in your body.

740
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:51.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I wanted to say also to you know,

741
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:54.199
<v Speaker 2>she said that she where did she talk about when

742
00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:55.360
<v Speaker 2>she weighed.

743
00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:57.760
<v Speaker 1>One fifty one when she was taking diet pills. Yeah,

744
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:00.320
<v Speaker 1>but when when did she weigh And she's said that

745
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:04.480
<v Speaker 1>she was at one ninety four. Sorry, this was long,

746
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:06.519
<v Speaker 1>and I was this morning, the morning that she wrote

747
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:07.679
<v Speaker 1>this morning that she wrote it.

748
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, And so if you've not been weighing daily, you

749
00:37:11.159 --> 00:37:13.840
<v Speaker 2>may have just weighed on a high day. I mean,

750
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:19.280
<v Speaker 2>my weight can fluctuates drastically in the course of a week,

751
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.840
<v Speaker 2>so you may have just weighed on a high day.

752
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Add to that that you just started weightlifting, you know,

753
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:30.280
<v Speaker 2>and that builds up inflammation in your body, and you

754
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:33.199
<v Speaker 2>know that adds contributes to weight. But something that I

755
00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:35.199
<v Speaker 2>was thinking too while Jen was talking about all of

756
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:39.480
<v Speaker 2>your weight loss methods, like something like forty percent of

757
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:43.800
<v Speaker 2>weight loss with glp ones is muscle mass. Like I

758
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:47.119
<v Speaker 2>just read this again, I think yesterday. And so if

759
00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:50.000
<v Speaker 2>you're a person who's done all these low carb diet

760
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:53.199
<v Speaker 2>or not low carb diets, low collary diets like with

761
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:54.760
<v Speaker 2>the bariatric surgeon.

762
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:59.320
<v Speaker 1>And then you have done ah can get her ring

763
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:00.320
<v Speaker 1>the glp.

764
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Ones and the fintrmine right, all of that, you're losing

765
00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:05.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of muscle mass. Which you know, luckily, we

766
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:08.199
<v Speaker 2>don't do that with fasting if we are fast and

767
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:11.400
<v Speaker 2>clean and we are fueling appropriately in our windows. So

768
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:16.199
<v Speaker 2>now you're trying to add muscle mass, right So, if

769
00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:20.079
<v Speaker 2>you're adding muscle mass that you've lost over the years

770
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:25.320
<v Speaker 2>and you're losing fat, the scale may not be reflecting change.

771
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:29.199
<v Speaker 2>But as you add muscle mass, your body's gonna burn

772
00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:32.840
<v Speaker 2>hotter and you're going to start burning up what you

773
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:35.400
<v Speaker 2>eat more efficiently. The more muscle mass you have, the

774
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:38.440
<v Speaker 2>more efficient your body is. So it could just be

775
00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:41.920
<v Speaker 2>a matter of you know, things are kind of equalizing

776
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:44.760
<v Speaker 2>between you working out and you're still losing some fat.

777
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:46.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's hard to say that you're not losing

778
00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:47.599
<v Speaker 2>any fat right now.

779
00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:50.000
<v Speaker 1>But if you also, if.

780
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.119
<v Speaker 2>You want to do this experiment right now, it might

781
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:54.400
<v Speaker 2>be a great time to do a dexa scan and

782
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:59.199
<v Speaker 2>really see, you know, what your body composition is and

783
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:01.480
<v Speaker 2>then you knowed it in six months, so that you

784
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:04.320
<v Speaker 2>can actually see what changes are happening in your body.

785
00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:07.880
<v Speaker 2>There's also like the body pod where it can like

786
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:13.000
<v Speaker 2>do fat and muscle, you know, composition stuff. But something

787
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:15.039
<v Speaker 2>like that might be helpful so that you can see

788
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:18.760
<v Speaker 2>that even if the scale's not changing your muscle and

789
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:20.000
<v Speaker 2>fat content is.

790
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that's important. I think the fact that

791
00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:26.239
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned getting a Dexa scan, you know, those are

792
00:39:26.280 --> 00:39:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the kinds of things that are going to be a

793
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:30.719
<v Speaker 1>lot more reliable than like a scale at home, you know,

794
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:33.679
<v Speaker 1>the one that you stand on. So getting getting a

795
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Dexa scan and really being able to see what's happening.

796
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a great idea. But try some of

797
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:43.719
<v Speaker 1>these things. Give it some time, let us know, give

798
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:46.559
<v Speaker 1>us back some input after maybe eight weeks, see how

799
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:46.920
<v Speaker 1>it goes.

800
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, So we have a question from Judy.

801
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:54.519
<v Speaker 2>She is transplanted to Oklahoma and currently in California, or

802
00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:59.679
<v Speaker 2>from California currently transplanted Oklahoma. Read that backwards. I get it, Judy,

803
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.280
<v Speaker 2>because I'm transplanted from Kansas to Alabama, and I'm always

804
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:04.719
<v Speaker 2>confused when people say where are you from?

805
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I freeze.

806
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:08.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I don't know where I'm from or where

807
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I live. She said, Hello, Jenn and Sherry, my dear

808
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:14.400
<v Speaker 2>friend referred you to me nearly six weeks ago. Yes,

809
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm an if for for six glorious weeks. I say

810
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:19.199
<v Speaker 2>that because I believe this method will bring me freedom

811
00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:21.840
<v Speaker 2>from dieting and the scale. I am sixty eight years

812
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:24.400
<v Speaker 2>old and for forty five of those I have been

813
00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:27.760
<v Speaker 2>on the diet train. Not at obese, but at least

814
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:30.760
<v Speaker 2>ten to twenty pounds overweight if I didn't restrict my

815
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:34.239
<v Speaker 2>eating or exercise habitually. I am five seven and a

816
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:36.559
<v Speaker 2>half and one hundred and sixty pounds when I started

817
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:38.760
<v Speaker 2>IF on March seventh, twenty twenty five.

818
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:40.079
<v Speaker 1>I never ate.

819
00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Breakfast, and my last bite of food was usually at

820
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:44.920
<v Speaker 2>eight pm the night before, so I guess I could

821
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:49.559
<v Speaker 2>consider myself a dirty IF for lol. However, the coffee

822
00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:53.079
<v Speaker 2>milkshake was my friend most of the morning and midday

823
00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:56.719
<v Speaker 2>until lunch. I never thought I would embrace black coffee,

824
00:40:56.719 --> 00:40:58.960
<v Speaker 2>but I have, and the fast has become the best

825
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:01.519
<v Speaker 2>part of the program. I also have been addicted to

826
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:04.119
<v Speaker 2>SCALE my entire life, and I am happy and surprised

827
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:06.719
<v Speaker 2>to say I have not weighed since beginning IF and

828
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:09.519
<v Speaker 2>the Clean Fast, which will be six weeks this Friday,

829
00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:14.079
<v Speaker 2>April eighteenth. I have consumed your books jin delayed, don't deny.

830
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:16.760
<v Speaker 2>The twenty eight day fast start day by day, and

831
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm currently reading fast Feasts repeat. I am listening to

832
00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:22.159
<v Speaker 2>your podcast. I have seen little bits of improvement, such

833
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:24.119
<v Speaker 2>as I've lost one and a half inches on my

834
00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:27.559
<v Speaker 2>bust and hips one inch around my waist. My clothes

835
00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:30.360
<v Speaker 2>don't seem to feel much different, but I'm believing I

836
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:33.480
<v Speaker 2>have everything I've read that says not to expect rapid

837
00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:36.719
<v Speaker 2>weight loss, especially while I'm continuing to become fat adapted.

838
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:40.719
<v Speaker 2>My fasting protocol changes, but currently it's between a nineteen

839
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:43.840
<v Speaker 2>five or eighteen six while consuming a snack and meal

840
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:46.480
<v Speaker 2>during that time. Some days I have a four hour

841
00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:50.119
<v Speaker 2>open window. My questions for you, One, should I be

842
00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:52.880
<v Speaker 2>weighing every day while using the seven day average to

843
00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:55.519
<v Speaker 2>get the true results? My worry is I will be

844
00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:59.639
<v Speaker 2>disappointed even though I know not to expect much. And two, well,

845
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:01.920
<v Speaker 2>let's just take that genuine answer that question.

846
00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:05.079
<v Speaker 1>Yes, all right, And I was just calculating her smart

847
00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:09.920
<v Speaker 1>BMI while we were talking, so and I just calculated

848
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:14.159
<v Speaker 1>it based on your starting weight. Okay, you're starting weight, Judy,

849
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:17.280
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and sixty pounds at five foot seven and

850
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:20.800
<v Speaker 1>a half inches at the age of sixty eight. When

851
00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:27.719
<v Speaker 1>you began your smart BMI was exactly in the middle

852
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:30.880
<v Speaker 1>of the healthy range. Okay, So I think that's really

853
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:33.599
<v Speaker 1>really important. I know that you said you have had

854
00:42:33.719 --> 00:42:38.639
<v Speaker 1>diet brain for years. On the diet train, you consider

855
00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:43.519
<v Speaker 1>yourself ten to twenty pounds overweight. You actually are not overweight,

856
00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and when you started intermittent fasting, you were not overweight

857
00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:49.960
<v Speaker 1>at that time. So I think that's really important for context.

858
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:55.679
<v Speaker 1>So I actually think that not weighing could be a

859
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:59.760
<v Speaker 1>great strategy for you, because you want to see you know,

860
00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:03.519
<v Speaker 1>your body changes over time as you lose fat, as

861
00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:07.119
<v Speaker 1>you build or maintain muscle, but you don't have like

862
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:10.400
<v Speaker 1>ten to twenty pounds of fat that your body needs

863
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:13.719
<v Speaker 1>to lose. You said, you've already lost one and a

864
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:15.960
<v Speaker 1>half inches on your bust and hips in an inch

865
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:21.400
<v Speaker 1>around your waist, And I would just relax into the

866
00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:24.159
<v Speaker 1>process and enjoy the lifestyle and let your body do

867
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:27.039
<v Speaker 1>what it's going to do. What do you think about that, Sherry,

868
00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I kind of agree with that.

869
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:31.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, we all have a little bit of vanity

870
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:32.800
<v Speaker 2>wait that we would like to trim up.

871
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I've got that right here. I've got some little

872
00:43:35.079 --> 00:43:37.400
<v Speaker 1>funny weird spots under my arms that.

873
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Yep, I mean, I was just looking at my gun

874
00:43:39.480 --> 00:43:41.679
<v Speaker 2>in the video, I was like, I'd really like that

875
00:43:41.760 --> 00:43:47.400
<v Speaker 2>to be gone. But yeah, if you're a person that's

876
00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:50.719
<v Speaker 2>gonna let the scale dictate how you feel, and you're

877
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:53.440
<v Speaker 2>feeling really successful and you're loving what you're doing right now,

878
00:43:53.639 --> 00:43:57.400
<v Speaker 2>and you know, cutting out that morning milkshake is doing

879
00:43:57.440 --> 00:44:01.400
<v Speaker 2>wonders for your body, your your pancreas and your liver

880
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and you know, so I think that you know what

881
00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:08.079
<v Speaker 2>you're doing is great. And if you're going to be

882
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:12.159
<v Speaker 2>disappointed no matter what the scale says, just don't weigh.

883
00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:15.119
<v Speaker 1>Just know how your clothes feel. I think this might

884
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:17.639
<v Speaker 1>be another great time. You know, Judy, we were talking

885
00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:20.519
<v Speaker 1>about the last person suggesting a Dexa scan. Maybe Judy

886
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:23.519
<v Speaker 1>should do that too. Get a dexa scan right now,

887
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:27.440
<v Speaker 1>see what you know, your muscle, how much muscle mass

888
00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you have, your how much body fat you have, and

889
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:33.119
<v Speaker 1>then maybe don't weigh, just don't weigh at all, and

890
00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:37.760
<v Speaker 1>then maybe in eight weeks get it done again. And

891
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:40.679
<v Speaker 1>in that time you continue to fast, clean, follow what

892
00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:44.039
<v Speaker 1>you're doing, continue with you know, any kind of exercise

893
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that you do for muscle building. We want to maintain

894
00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:48.320
<v Speaker 1>our muscle mass. You know, you're sixty eight. We want to.

895
00:44:48.920 --> 00:44:51.280
<v Speaker 1>As we age, it does become more important to use

896
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:53.840
<v Speaker 1>our muscles, and then in eight weeks look and see

897
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:57.599
<v Speaker 1>you might actually be up on the scale but have

898
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:01.119
<v Speaker 1>less body fat, right, in which case you that would

899
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:03.960
<v Speaker 1>be really exciting to know. So I think that you

900
00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:06.280
<v Speaker 1>since since you started right in the middle of the

901
00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:09.800
<v Speaker 1>healthy weight range, you do not want to lose you know,

902
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:14.559
<v Speaker 1>quote weight. It might be nice to lose some fat

903
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:17.320
<v Speaker 1>as you build or maintain muscle, but the scale is

904
00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:19.400
<v Speaker 1>not going to be your best tool for that. So

905
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:21.159
<v Speaker 1>it's all about what's going to happen. You know, if

906
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:23.519
<v Speaker 1>you went up a pound because you're weighing and you

907
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:25.800
<v Speaker 1>saw yourself up a pound, yeah, you might be really

908
00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:28.679
<v Speaker 1>really disappointed. But if you had a dexa scan and

909
00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:31.119
<v Speaker 1>you saw that you gained five pounds of muscle and

910
00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:36.199
<v Speaker 1>lost you know, four pounds of fat, then you'd be like, oh,

911
00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:38.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm up one pound because I've gained a pound of

912
00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:40.280
<v Speaker 1>muscle and I've lost four pounds of fat, you know,

913
00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:43.400
<v Speaker 1>or six pounds whatever. You know, the rights that I said,

914
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.159
<v Speaker 1>But you know, then you'll have the actual the body

915
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:50.480
<v Speaker 1>composition data to know what's really happening. Yeah, I agree,

916
00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:51.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, do you want to get into the rest

917
00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:52.599
<v Speaker 1>of where did you stop?

918
00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:53.159
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

919
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes, number two.

920
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Her second question was I get full pretty quickly, and

921
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I may not want to eat my second part of

922
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:03.400
<v Speaker 2>my meal now. She said, she's only eating a snack

923
00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:07.280
<v Speaker 2>and a meal, so I don't know what you mean

924
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:09.880
<v Speaker 2>what she means by second part of her meal? Should

925
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I worry about not consuming enough calories? My apologies for

926
00:46:13.559 --> 00:46:15.480
<v Speaker 2>the Lenkly message, but I've heard you both say that

927
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:17.880
<v Speaker 2>the more the detail, the better you are able to

928
00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:20.880
<v Speaker 2>address my concerns. So many thanks Jenn and Cherry. If

929
00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:23.360
<v Speaker 2>the only positive things to come from this lifestyle were

930
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:26.559
<v Speaker 2>the freedom from calorie counting and scale shame, I will

931
00:46:26.599 --> 00:46:29.400
<v Speaker 2>gladly continue on this journey. And I laughed at the

932
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:31.920
<v Speaker 2>last cements exactly what we said.

933
00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:35.639
<v Speaker 1>Exactly And you know then that's more data on the

934
00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:39.360
<v Speaker 1>side of getting rid of the scale because I promise you, Judy,

935
00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:42.519
<v Speaker 1>you have zero reasons to have scale shame. You are

936
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:44.960
<v Speaker 1>a healthy waight right now. But the stories we tell

937
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:48.039
<v Speaker 1>ourselves in our heads, right you know what, depending on

938
00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:51.360
<v Speaker 1>when you grow up, maybe what models were popular when

939
00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:53.800
<v Speaker 1>you were in high school or what magazines you read,

940
00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:55.599
<v Speaker 1>just you like got in your mind. You had to

941
00:46:55.639 --> 00:46:58.119
<v Speaker 1>be a certain thing, and you just held yourself up

942
00:46:58.119 --> 00:47:01.320
<v Speaker 1>against that standard for all these decades. So I would

943
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:04.039
<v Speaker 1>let that skill shame go as quickly as you can,

944
00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:08.599
<v Speaker 1>because you're already at a very healthy wait. And again,

945
00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:10.920
<v Speaker 1>knowing your body composition could help you understand that and

946
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:15.960
<v Speaker 1>really reinforce it. As far as like how you're structuring

947
00:47:16.039 --> 00:47:19.280
<v Speaker 1>your window. You said you're having a snack and a meal,

948
00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:21.679
<v Speaker 1>like Sherry said, but you might not eat the second

949
00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:26.400
<v Speaker 1>part of your meal. If you're eating until you're satisfied

950
00:47:26.519 --> 00:47:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and you feel good, that's a really good sign. If

951
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:36.320
<v Speaker 1>you are eating until satisfied and then two hours after

952
00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:39.960
<v Speaker 1>you close your window you're starving, that's not a good sign.

953
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:42.159
<v Speaker 1>So you need to just keep working. You don't want

954
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:45.320
<v Speaker 1>to feel a lot of hunger later. You want to

955
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:49.360
<v Speaker 1>feel good and just go by how you're feeling.

956
00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:53.159
<v Speaker 2>And I too, You know, when you're first in your

957
00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:55.800
<v Speaker 2>first four to six weeks and your body's getting fat

958
00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:57.400
<v Speaker 2>adapted and it's trying to figure out what it's doing

959
00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:00.280
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. We hear a lot that people like hunger

960
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:03.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of goes away at first and then as they're

961
00:48:03.320 --> 00:48:05.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, because a lot of your hunger and everything

962
00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:09.320
<v Speaker 2>is is driven on your circadian rhythm, and so your

963
00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:11.880
<v Speaker 2>body's adapting to when are you going to eat and

964
00:48:11.960 --> 00:48:14.719
<v Speaker 2>how much to eat and you're you know, satidy, and

965
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:18.000
<v Speaker 2>your hunger signals are still like trying to rebalance and

966
00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:21.400
<v Speaker 2>figure everything out. And so you know, over time, a

967
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:24.239
<v Speaker 2>lot of people who during that transition period, they'll say

968
00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:26.519
<v Speaker 2>they'll start to worry, like their appetite has gone away

969
00:48:26.599 --> 00:48:29.519
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, but it usually ends up kind of coming back. Yes,

970
00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:31.960
<v Speaker 2>you get that solid appetite correction where you get to

971
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a point where you're like, I can't eat another bite.

972
00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:38.199
<v Speaker 2>But if over time you feel like, oh, I don't

973
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:40.360
<v Speaker 2>really feel like I'm getting enough nutrition in my window,

974
00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:42.960
<v Speaker 2>then it might be that you just need a longer window.

975
00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:44.800
<v Speaker 2>You might be a person who just can't eat a

976
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:47.280
<v Speaker 2>lot at one time and you need a lengthier window

977
00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:49.400
<v Speaker 2>so that you can get in what you need. But

978
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:51.280
<v Speaker 2>that's could be based off of like how you feel

979
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:53.920
<v Speaker 2>and your energy and your sleep and you know, are

980
00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:56.679
<v Speaker 2>you struggling during any part of your fast and that

981
00:48:56.800 --> 00:48:57.360
<v Speaker 2>sort of thing.

982
00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Yep, all right, so now it's time for our segment

983
00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:03.800
<v Speaker 1>called what's your Why? Most of us have weight loss

984
00:49:03.800 --> 00:49:05.800
<v Speaker 1>in mind, and that is a great reason to start

985
00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:08.280
<v Speaker 1>intermittent fasting. But we know there is so much more

986
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:11.480
<v Speaker 1>that intermittent fasting can do for us beyond weight loss.

987
00:49:11.599 --> 00:49:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Just you know, as we heard in that last one,

988
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:15.920
<v Speaker 1>if the only thing we get our freedom from Calori

989
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:19.119
<v Speaker 1>County in scale shame, that is a great reason to

990
00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:22.519
<v Speaker 1>be an intermittent faster. I genuinely think when your why

991
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:24.800
<v Speaker 1>is deeper than weight loss alone, you're more likely to

992
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:28.239
<v Speaker 1>find long term success and view intermittent fasting as a lifestyle.

993
00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:30.199
<v Speaker 2>All right, So this week we have a wife from

994
00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Karina in Saskatoon. This could be a what's your why,

995
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:36.599
<v Speaker 2>a celebration, a tweak of the week, and a book

996
00:49:36.599 --> 00:49:40.480
<v Speaker 2>recommendation all in one. So she says, first, my story.

997
00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:43.280
<v Speaker 2>At first, I started IF after reading Eat to Live

998
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:46.320
<v Speaker 2>by doctor Joel Furman, and I noticed considerable life and

999
00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:50.519
<v Speaker 2>body changes after practicing a weekly two five method. And

1000
00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure what that is to you know, probably

1001
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:56.079
<v Speaker 2>five five, okably means five? Yeah, he says, oh yeah.

1002
00:49:56.119 --> 00:49:58.199
<v Speaker 2>She says, I don't recall clean fasting at that time,

1003
00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:00.480
<v Speaker 2>but it wasn't hard. I did that to lose a

1004
00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:02.840
<v Speaker 2>little weight, but found that my family and friends were

1005
00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:08.119
<v Speaker 2>always discouraged from discouraging me from continuing by making comments

1006
00:50:08.119 --> 00:50:10.800
<v Speaker 2>that made me feel guilty or wrong for losing weight.

1007
00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I was never obese, but felt that I was carrying

1008
00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:16.400
<v Speaker 2>an extra ten pounds and I did lose that through if.

1009
00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:19.039
<v Speaker 2>After a while, the pressure got to me, so I quit.

1010
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:22.679
<v Speaker 2>That was in twenty twelve. Fast forward to twenty twenty two.

1011
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I was postment apausle and had gained just enough weight

1012
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:28.360
<v Speaker 2>that I was uncomfortable with how I felt, and I

1013
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:30.719
<v Speaker 2>didn't like the small spare tire around my waist that

1014
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:33.559
<v Speaker 2>suddenly appeared. I signed up with a personal trainer and

1015
00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:35.639
<v Speaker 2>in six months had such back pain I had to

1016
00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:38.320
<v Speaker 2>quit that and I still felt and looked the same.

1017
00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:42.119
<v Speaker 2>I was assessed and found I needed back surgery. Before

1018
00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:44.360
<v Speaker 2>I had my surgery, I was fed up with feeling

1019
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:47.440
<v Speaker 2>so crappy and uncomfortable that I started searching for health

1020
00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:51.519
<v Speaker 2>and wellness podcasts and found Fast Feast Repeat podcasts. I

1021
00:50:51.639 --> 00:50:54.880
<v Speaker 2>binge listened and I started ADF the first day I

1022
00:50:54.920 --> 00:50:57.880
<v Speaker 2>started listening. I did that for several months, and then

1023
00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:01.119
<v Speaker 2>I started OMAD with a twenty four approach. I was

1024
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:04.360
<v Speaker 2>feeling less brain fog and exhaustion, but still no change

1025
00:51:04.360 --> 00:51:06.639
<v Speaker 2>on my spare tire. I was beginning to think that

1026
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:08.159
<v Speaker 2>it was just something I was going to have to

1027
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:10.719
<v Speaker 2>live with as a result of postmenopause. But then I

1028
00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:13.880
<v Speaker 2>started on a mostly whole food, plant based diet, and

1029
00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:16.840
<v Speaker 2>that is when the spare tire went flat. I could

1030
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:19.480
<v Speaker 2>not believe that a small diet change as his eliminating

1031
00:51:19.519 --> 00:51:22.559
<v Speaker 2>animal products would make such a big body change. This

1032
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:25.239
<v Speaker 2>along with if as a keeper, I think that is

1033
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:28.599
<v Speaker 2>my tweak, but it could also be my celebration my why,

1034
00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:32.039
<v Speaker 2>my mother, my father, my husband, and my sister. Everywhere

1035
00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I look I see family members struggling with health issues.

1036
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:37.000
<v Speaker 2>My father had a mild heart attack and had stints

1037
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:40.079
<v Speaker 2>put in. My mother has full blown rheumatoid arthritis, which

1038
00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:42.559
<v Speaker 2>has made it difficult for her to do almost everything.

1039
00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:45.360
<v Speaker 2>She's so sick. She just recently had a stroke and

1040
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:46.840
<v Speaker 2>did not know it until she.

1041
00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't speak or walk.

1042
00:51:48.440 --> 00:51:51.000
<v Speaker 2>My stepfather was experiencing chest pains and had to have

1043
00:51:51.039 --> 00:51:54.719
<v Speaker 2>a double bypass. My husband has pulmonary fibrosis and cannot

1044
00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:56.960
<v Speaker 2>breathe well enough to do most of the things he

1045
00:51:57.079 --> 00:52:00.440
<v Speaker 2>enjoys anymore. My sister has recently been diagnosed with fattied

1046
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:03.280
<v Speaker 2>liver disease, and she is younger than me. The good

1047
00:52:03.320 --> 00:52:05.719
<v Speaker 2>thing is I purchased the twenty eight Day fastart book

1048
00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:07.440
<v Speaker 2>and I gave it to her and she is now

1049
00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:12.440
<v Speaker 2>also a dedicated intermittent faster another celebration. So far, are

1050
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:15.320
<v Speaker 2>the only health issues I have are hypothyroidism, which is

1051
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:18.360
<v Speaker 2>being controlled with a small dose of medication, and this

1052
00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:21.280
<v Speaker 2>back issue that since the surgery seems to be resolved,

1053
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:23.239
<v Speaker 2>and that is the way I want to keep it.

1054
00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Our countertop is full of the drugs my husband has

1055
00:52:26.360 --> 00:52:29.239
<v Speaker 2>to take daily to survive. I have one small pill

1056
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:31.920
<v Speaker 2>bottle for my thyroid. My health span and my life

1057
00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:34.400
<v Speaker 2>span are important to me. I have two children who

1058
00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:36.559
<v Speaker 2>are just starting into their adult lives, and I want

1059
00:52:36.599 --> 00:52:39.199
<v Speaker 2>to be healthy enough into the future that they do

1060
00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:41.519
<v Speaker 2>not have to worry about my health or look after me,

1061
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:44.119
<v Speaker 2>and that I can run and play with the grandchildren

1062
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:47.920
<v Speaker 2>yet to come. Fingers crossed. Lastly, I've read every book

1063
00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:49.920
<v Speaker 2>you have mentioned on this podcast, and I listened to

1064
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:53.400
<v Speaker 2>the Zoe podcast regularly. Most recently, I'm reading Eat for

1065
00:52:53.480 --> 00:52:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Life by doctor Joel Furman. No, not a typo, it

1066
00:52:56.960 --> 00:52:59.480
<v Speaker 2>is a different book. With a different title wording than

1067
00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:02.719
<v Speaker 2>the book mentioned at the beginning, and it is reaffirming

1068
00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:04.920
<v Speaker 2>my plant based diet choice so that I can live

1069
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:07.760
<v Speaker 2>the healthiest future I can. I only wish that more

1070
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:09.880
<v Speaker 2>people could understand this way of life and keep their

1071
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:12.239
<v Speaker 2>health in check. That is why it is so wonderful

1072
00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:13.880
<v Speaker 2>that the two of you are sharing your knowledge and

1073
00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:16.519
<v Speaker 2>encouraging people to give it a try, tweak it till

1074
00:53:16.519 --> 00:53:20.400
<v Speaker 2>it's easy, share their successes and discover their why. Keep

1075
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:24.400
<v Speaker 2>up the good work, and I love that me too.

1076
00:53:25.199 --> 00:53:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Well.

1077
00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Before we get to the tweak of the week, I

1078
00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:28.920
<v Speaker 2>just want to take a minute to share some feedback

1079
00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I've received from my Crunchy customers about their clean skincare experience,

1080
00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:35.400
<v Speaker 2>so you can hear their opinion and not just mine.

1081
00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Trisha wrote, I took advantage of the clean sunscreen special

1082
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:40.480
<v Speaker 2>that you talked about in March. My family and I

1083
00:53:40.519 --> 00:53:42.599
<v Speaker 2>had a trip planned over the Easter break and I

1084
00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:45.639
<v Speaker 2>was looking for a clean, reef safe alternative. I stuck

1085
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:48.800
<v Speaker 2>up on the body and the tinted face sunscreen. My

1086
00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:52.159
<v Speaker 2>family and I escaped Hawaii without so much as one sunburn,

1087
00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:55.280
<v Speaker 2>and I appreciate that the sunscreen was easy to apply

1088
00:53:55.400 --> 00:53:59.119
<v Speaker 2>and effective. I love the sunlight tinted SPF for faces

1089
00:53:59.159 --> 00:54:01.480
<v Speaker 2>so much that I've i'd myself wearing it most days

1090
00:54:01.480 --> 00:54:03.960
<v Speaker 2>now is it gives me a nice, finished glow, evening

1091
00:54:04.039 --> 00:54:07.159
<v Speaker 2>out my skin tone without applying makeup. I wash and

1092
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:09.960
<v Speaker 2>tone my face and then apply this tinted sunlight a

1093
00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:12.840
<v Speaker 2>little masskara and go about my day. If I don't

1094
00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:15.239
<v Speaker 2>plan going outside, but I want a finished look to

1095
00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:17.840
<v Speaker 2>my face without makeup. I have found that the primer

1096
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:20.199
<v Speaker 2>works great for that. I don't get oily and my

1097
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.320
<v Speaker 2>skin looks so much better. I'm a minimalist when it

1098
00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:26.760
<v Speaker 2>comes to makeup, so I am loving these products. So

1099
00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:30.280
<v Speaker 2>if you are ready to switch over to clean skincare

1100
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:32.960
<v Speaker 2>or makeup routine, check out Crunchy and I'm happy to

1105
00:54:45.119 --> 00:54:46.719
<v Speaker 1>So now it's time for our tweak of the week.

1106
00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:49.719
<v Speaker 1>This one's from Tanya. Once in a while I enjoy

1107
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:52.079
<v Speaker 1>going out to eat with a friend or my spouse.

1108
00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I have learned to start looking up the kinds of

1109
00:54:54.440 --> 00:54:56.960
<v Speaker 1>foods I might want to eat wherever we're going, and

1110
00:54:57.000 --> 00:54:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I figure out which ones have the best chance of

1111
00:54:59.320 --> 00:55:01.920
<v Speaker 1>not interrupting the healthy diet I've gotten into the habit

1112
00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:04.880
<v Speaker 1>of eating. For example, I've found out that I can

1113
00:55:04.920 --> 00:55:07.480
<v Speaker 1>have a strawberry milkshake at Steak and Shake because they

1114
00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:11.159
<v Speaker 1>don't use anything in the shake except for ice cream, strawberries,

1115
00:55:11.199 --> 00:55:14.519
<v Speaker 1>and sugar. There are some foods I absolutely cannot eat,

1116
00:55:14.679 --> 00:55:17.360
<v Speaker 1>for example, gluten and tomatoes. Those two things make me

1117
00:55:17.519 --> 00:55:20.920
<v Speaker 1>very sick. It's really hard sometimes to get enough variety

1118
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:24.480
<v Speaker 1>in my diet to keep things fun. This tweek allows

1119
00:55:24.519 --> 00:55:27.440
<v Speaker 1>me to go and enjoy eating a little something different,

1120
00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:30.679
<v Speaker 1>but at the same time staying with the diet that

1121
00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:33.760
<v Speaker 1>is very healthy for my body. And I love that.

1122
00:55:33.840 --> 00:55:37.599
<v Speaker 2>I often look up me men news and ingredients at

1123
00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:39.760
<v Speaker 2>restaurants before I go so that I can make the

1124
00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:40.679
<v Speaker 2>best choices for me.

1125
00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:43.880
<v Speaker 1>It decide if it's worth even going right it is

1126
00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:47.199
<v Speaker 1>not too Yeah, If they don't have even that looks

1127
00:55:47.239 --> 00:55:49.039
<v Speaker 1>like what I want to eat, I'm like, no, we

1128
00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:50.239
<v Speaker 1>gotta find something different.

1129
00:55:51.360 --> 00:55:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Well. We love to leave you guys with inspiration our

1130
00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:56.159
<v Speaker 2>motivational quotes, and this week We have a quote from Shannon.

1131
00:55:56.559 --> 00:55:58.599
<v Speaker 2>The quote is you are not a machine. You are

1132
00:55:58.679 --> 00:56:01.880
<v Speaker 2>more like a garden. You need different things on different days.

1133
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:05.519
<v Speaker 2>A little sun today, a little less water tomorrow. You

1134
00:56:05.639 --> 00:56:09.519
<v Speaker 2>have follow and fruitful seasons. It is not a design flaw.

1135
00:56:09.719 --> 00:56:13.840
<v Speaker 2>It is wiser than perpetual sameness. The question is what

1136
00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:15.960
<v Speaker 2>does your garden need today? Oh?

1137
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:19.639
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Thanks so much for listening today. We
