Speaker 1: we have our Reasonably Shady moment of the week. Don Robin,
Speaker 1: I've been really upset I'm gonna go first, what happened? Okay,
Speaker 1: So I've started like really getting into my smoothies. Okay,
Speaker 1: Grace works at a smoothies spot. She can't be the
Speaker 1: only one in the house drinking smoothies. So I have
Speaker 1: my little smoothie situation. So I like, I have like
Speaker 1: prepackaged smoothies that come to the house, and then I
Speaker 1: buy fruit to kind of add to it. So I
Speaker 1: went to Safeway. Yeah, I'm calling out Safeway the other day,
Speaker 1: and I like bought a bag of peaches. I was
Speaker 1: so excited. I was like, oh my god, these are
Speaker 1: gonna be soon yummy. Okay, So like three of them
Speaker 1: not only were like spoiled, but they exploded. There was
Speaker 1: like nasty peach juice that was like oozing out of them.
Speaker 1: These weren't frozen peaches, No, these were what are you
Speaker 1: calling I'm frozen regularly. These were like they were in
Speaker 1: the produce section. So wait, so you didn't know that
Speaker 1: before you put them in your shopping cart. Well, I
Speaker 1: think that they were fine. They were because I actually
Speaker 1: picked them up and analyzed them because I picked them
Speaker 1: up one by one. But in twenty four hours, they
Speaker 1: had peached nasty peach juice oozing out of them. So
Speaker 1: safe way, y'all did me dirty? Yes, y'all did me dirty?
Speaker 1: And I'm mad at y'all. So I need a refund
Speaker 1: or just like when I come in, y'all know me,
Speaker 1: just give me some free peaches. That's where there's like
Speaker 1: fruit flies and stuff all around. No, but it was
Speaker 1: just nasty peach juice. Yeah, gross, I'm sorry about that. Yes,
Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't meant for you to have a peach smoothie.
Speaker 1: I was gonna add it to my spinach and my mangoes,
Speaker 1: my watermelon in my bootberries. I just throw everything. I
Speaker 1: throw everything, and it's really good for my inside. I
Speaker 1: were talking about my inside robbing. Um okay, So my
Speaker 1: shady moment of the week goes to my brain and
Speaker 1: sparkling new washing machine. Yes, you know, I recently moved,
Speaker 1: so I don't know if it's the washing machine or
Speaker 1: the house. So my brand sparkling new house and my
Speaker 1: brand sparkling new washing machine. About this brand new g
Speaker 1: E profile washing machine. It's blue front loader. It's like
Speaker 1: all these buttons and yes, but all this stuff, this
Speaker 1: damn washing machine. The power trips on it. All good time,
Speaker 1: all the time. So we have to go downstairs in
Speaker 1: the basement and go to the circuit break right and
Speaker 1: you know, turn it back on. But it's so frustrating.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's a brand new house, it's a brand
Speaker 1: new washing machine, so it might not do the whole load,
Speaker 1: and it might like and you don't even know. I
Speaker 1: don't even know until we go to like, oh, let's
Speaker 1: put the stuff in the dryer, and then we can't
Speaker 1: open the door because the door is locked. You know what.
Speaker 1: I'm mad at the what's that person called the contract,
Speaker 1: the electrician something. Yeah, so I gotta get I gotta
Speaker 1: get them over there. It's just it's so frustrating though,
Speaker 1: Like imagine, like you think you're accomplishing something. You're going
Speaker 1: your laundry, yes, laundry day, you know, oh, my clothes
Speaker 1: are in the washing and you go and you're like
Speaker 1: the ship didn't even wash and the boys need their
Speaker 1: underwear a word, Oh my gosh, so yes, that's super
Speaker 1: freshrat Okay, yeah, that's what you need to get that
Speaker 1: handled because we can't we can't live like that. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I need a refund. Yes, refund, electrician, get your ass
Speaker 1: to Robin's House. Okay, there's that on that. We have
Speaker 1: a whole lot to get into today because we have
Speaker 1: a nutritionist with us and um, we're gonna be learning
Speaker 1: all about our body. Yes, that is a hot topic
Speaker 1: in itself. Nutrition, health, fitness, all that is hot topic
Speaker 1: in itself. Yeah. But there's one thing that struck me,
Speaker 1: that bothered me that I was reading on social media
Speaker 1: the other day and I was like, I'll be damned. Okay,
Speaker 1: so this woman sent her friend who couldn't come to
Speaker 1: her wedding and invoys for her plate at the reception.
Speaker 1: I saw that. I hear about that. Who does that?
Speaker 1: Tacky people? Yes, okay, So I feel like when you're
Speaker 1: planning a wedding, you should know some of these people
Speaker 1: aren't going to show up, right, like you should just
Speaker 1: kind of chalked it up as a loss. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: don't like sending an invoice, that's TACKI However, when I
Speaker 1: have not shown up to a wedding for whatever reason
Speaker 1: that I r s v P two, I actually will
Speaker 1: send them on top of my gift. I will send
Speaker 1: them kind of what I think my plays. That's so
Speaker 1: nice because I just don't show up. We're so reasonable
Speaker 1: exactly exactly there we go. There's a reasonable part. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I think, like, you know, okay, these people paid
Speaker 1: X amount of dollars expecting me or me and wanted
Speaker 1: to show up, and we didn't show up for whatever reason.
Speaker 1: Let me send them the money for that, because you know,
Speaker 1: it's just I I respect that. I know how shoot,
Speaker 1: like how how big of a financial burden weddings are? People?
Speaker 1: They are? So you know, I will try my know,
Speaker 1: I will try to do what I can and just
Speaker 1: send money on top of my gift that I was
Speaker 1: already sending. Very reasonable the future, you know, brides, whatever
Speaker 1: if if if your people don't show up, don't be
Speaker 1: an ass and send him an invoice. But if you
Speaker 1: are that person that doesn't show up, try to like,
Speaker 1: you know, have some respects and the courteous. Don't do
Speaker 1: what I do. Do what Robin done. Okay, But I
Speaker 1: was reading in the comments that men should men are
Speaker 1: saying that they should get their money back if the
Speaker 1: date is bad and they didn't take it. A woman
Speaker 1: out and spend all this money on her, and then
Speaker 1: then that's gavin. No more like a guy should ask
Speaker 1: for his money back. Okay, we would. So if a
Speaker 1: guy is dating a woman, yes for a month, a week,
Speaker 1: a week, yes, and it doesn't work out, he wants
Speaker 1: the money back and send her invoid. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: say I wish i'd do would We don't have to
Speaker 1: talk about this law because it's out real crazy. That's like,
Speaker 1: what is this is the problem with our society today?
Speaker 1: Like that men are not chival us anymore? Like no,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, that's a that's a cost of dating. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know the process. Yeah, so like if it don't
Speaker 1: work out, that's on you. That's on you. Do you
Speaker 1: got choked up to the game? Sir? That's crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there were actually men saying that that should happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so needless to say, they won't be dating me or
Speaker 1: my right. We know that. Okay. And just for the
Speaker 1: record of God, if I guy ever gives me a gift,
Speaker 1: I'm never gating it back, okay, nothing, no, no, nothing,
Speaker 1: Like what if it's a car, I'm keeping it really
Speaker 1: or selling it or something, but you're not gonna ask
Speaker 1: for it back. That's what you're not gonna do. What
Speaker 1: if it's like like a rod taking a picture next
Speaker 1: to j Lo's car, yeah, you were real crazy for that.
Speaker 1: Wait what hap? Oh my god, Rob, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: you to keep up with what's going on in these streets. Okay,
Speaker 1: well we'll talk about that later anyway, because we have
Speaker 1: so much to talk about as it relates to our bodies, nutrition,
Speaker 1: what we eat, if we work out, if we don't.
Speaker 1: So actually, um, this episode is actually entitled get off
Speaker 1: the Damn Couch. Okay, get off the damn couch, Robin. Okay, So, yes,
Speaker 1: we're about to get into her topic. I just want
Speaker 1: to stop y'all and tell you I'm so excited because
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi just texted me. What did she say? It's
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. I had to reach out before my critical
Speaker 1: midnight deadline. Republicans just shuttered their fifth straight fundraising record
Speaker 1: last Like, why don't you do that? Really, it's not
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi stopping like I've had Joe Biden text me.
Speaker 1: Never had any of these people texts because you've never
Speaker 1: donated to the Democratic Party. I have donated to the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, but you never gave them your phone number. No,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, really it's Nancy Pelosi. Really let me call. No,
Speaker 1: it's not should I call his number and be like, Nancy,
Speaker 1: what's our girl? No, you should not, No, you should
Speaker 1: not anyway, So it's distracted. Yes, and I'll we do
Speaker 1: we do. We do have a guest today. We do
Speaker 1: have a guest today. This is amazing because you know,
Speaker 1: I love learning about my body what's best for me.
Speaker 1: I feel like knowledge is like power, and I want
Speaker 1: my body to be banging at all times. Absolutely, yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: And as we get older and older, it's more important
Speaker 1: to realize, like what we put in our body is
Speaker 1: so important. Um. So, I'm so excited to introduce our
Speaker 1: next guests. Anna about Brown, who before I get into this,
Speaker 1: she actually has been my trainer before. Um we worked
Speaker 1: together for a really long time. Not a long time,
Speaker 1: it's like a year or so maybe, Yeah, for about
Speaker 1: a year. She was awesome. I enjoyed working out with her,
Speaker 1: and then I got lazy, so um but I plan
Speaker 1: on picking back up my workouts with Anna. And if
Speaker 1: you do watch The Real Housewives of Potomac, you saw
Speaker 1: Anna in the third episode maybe where we worked out
Speaker 1: in the freezing cold. Yes, freezing cold. Um. So it
Speaker 1: was really cool to work out with Anna and get
Speaker 1: back back in the saddle with her. But Anna Bell
Speaker 1: Brown is a leading fitness professional and kettle bell guru
Speaker 1: fifteen years of experience. So her Instagram page is kettle
Speaker 1: bell Chicks at kettle bell Chicks Love That. Yes, she
Speaker 1: specializes in kettle bells, breaking barriers as the first female
Speaker 1: kettle bell manufacturer in the industry, and offering a series
Speaker 1: of colors particularly pleasing to women, such as hot pinks. Yes,
Speaker 1: the hot pink kettle bells are everything. And it's so
Speaker 1: funny because it's like it makes me like want to
Speaker 1: work out, you know what I mean, Like when you
Speaker 1: see these cute kettle bells, you're like, yes, I want
Speaker 1: to work out these cute kettle bells and you actually
Speaker 1: actually saw them on the episode, so they're super cute.
Speaker 1: So Anna, thank you so much for being here. Thanks
Speaker 1: for having me. Ladies, thank you so much for being here.
Speaker 1: And especially because you know, we all kind of fell
Speaker 1: off in the pandemic and we just threw any any
Speaker 1: type of routine that we had. We just do that
Speaker 1: thing in the trans can. Yes, so let's like getting
Speaker 1: us back into the groove. What she we be doing, like,
Speaker 1: give us, give it to us. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: it's fair to acknowledge, UM, to give ourselves a little
Speaker 1: grace during this time, because we all went through it,
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, we come from losing our jobs
Speaker 1: or you know, just losing motivation or experiencing people you
Speaker 1: know dying all around us. Because it is a hard time, UM.
Speaker 1: So extending grace first of all, you know, realizing that
Speaker 1: you know this is not normal circumstances UM. And then
Speaker 1: you know, perhaps starting slow. I think perspective is everything
Speaker 1: when you're starting a new anything, new challenge, a new
Speaker 1: mindset UM. So you know, progress over perfection experiencing that
Speaker 1: instead of like zero to a hundred type things. So
Speaker 1: that way you don't feel bad if you don't reach
Speaker 1: a goal, or if you don't wake up early in
Speaker 1: the morning and beat yourself up and then you get
Speaker 1: discouraged and then you spiral backwards. Right, So progress over perfection, UM. First,
Speaker 1: get up, do something you don't necessarily have to go
Speaker 1: into a gym. A lot of gyms still, you know,
Speaker 1: have the mass mandate. A lot of people still don't
Speaker 1: feel comfortable going outside. UM. You can buy equipment, you
Speaker 1: can go outside UM to sweat and do your own thing.
Speaker 1: You can call an accountability partner, someone like a thread.
Speaker 1: I have a bunch of text threads that I have
Speaker 1: different types of people in and you know, whether it's
Speaker 1: from hey, wake up, I did something, send a screenshot
Speaker 1: of your workout that yeah, because you know, sometimes you
Speaker 1: can say that you're doing something and meanwhile you're in bed,
Speaker 1: you're lying. Everybody's a liar, every once a liar. So
Speaker 1: you know, little accountability groups or there are different apps
Speaker 1: nowadays that you can kind of go to um and
Speaker 1: just you know, being mindful that, you know, being nice
Speaker 1: to yourself because especially you know, you can't just go
Speaker 1: from experiencing this trauma then bad habits and then boom
Speaker 1: you're into it, you know again back to grace. Right.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, just be nice to yourself. So
Speaker 1: I've heard that, you know, I work out all the time,
Speaker 1: but you know I don't eat well well, I do,
Speaker 1: but I don't I fall off. My eating is inconsistent,
Speaker 1: my working out is consistent. But I've heard that eating
Speaker 1: is everything. Like I could really just not go to
Speaker 1: the gym and just eat right right. It is um,
Speaker 1: you know, I think things are set there for different reasons,
Speaker 1: like for cardio, if you're doing cardio. Um, that's gonna
Speaker 1: help move the scale, that's gonna shift and lose the calories.
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose weight. The stringth train is developed to
Speaker 1: shape your physique. So if you're sculpting, bring your inner
Speaker 1: thighs in a little bit and bringing that waistline in,
Speaker 1: lifting the butt, getting rid of the cellul you have
Speaker 1: a strength train right my language, Right now, I think
Speaker 1: I'm getting excited. Yeah. And then the nutrition is there
Speaker 1: to feel your workouts to give you the energy to
Speaker 1: go forward. And then the water is there, you know,
Speaker 1: depending on how many times you're working out today. If
Speaker 1: you're working out once and if you're doing an hour
Speaker 1: of cardio, then you need to supplement your body with
Speaker 1: the water being lost in the electro lights. So everything
Speaker 1: really goes hand in hand. You can't just cardio bunny
Speaker 1: your way through life, or just stringth train or just
Speaker 1: eat clean. You really have to try to uh use
Speaker 1: a little bit of those three or four components. Okay,
Speaker 1: but if I eat clean, I don't have to go
Speaker 1: to the gym. I think it's important to go to
Speaker 1: the gym, uh for first. You know, cardiovascular activity, it's
Speaker 1: good for your body. It's good for functional organs and
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. So it's definitely important just to
Speaker 1: do a little bit, maybe thirty minutes um a day,
Speaker 1: four times a week, starting with that, you know. And
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be intense. It could be yoga,
Speaker 1: it can be stretching. You can go from massage doing
Speaker 1: sauna like anything really works as long as you're getting
Speaker 1: out there and doing something progressive for your body. So
Speaker 1: for me, my I guess choice of weight management is
Speaker 1: intermittent fasting. So and you know that because even when
Speaker 1: I started working out with you and you wanted to
Speaker 1: put me on a nutrition plan and you were like, Okay,
Speaker 1: well you gotta eat this at this time and I'm like,
Speaker 1: well wait, but I can't eat until twelve o'clock. And
Speaker 1: you're like, I know that. Kind isn't that terrible? It
Speaker 1: works for some people that yeah, didn't work for you.
Speaker 1: So it worked, yes, so it worked for me. Um,
Speaker 1: But now it's to the point where I know that
Speaker 1: our body kind of gets used to stuff. So then
Speaker 1: you plateau. Right, So now I'm wondering, like, okay, am
Speaker 1: I at a plateau? And if I was to stop
Speaker 1: inter minute fasting, will I then gain weight, do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So because I'm not very disciplined,
Speaker 1: Like my issue is, I'm not disciplined with my eating, um,
Speaker 1: my schedule. So I'm kind of like so for me
Speaker 1: just saying, Okay, I know that i'm going to eat,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start eating at twelve pm, I'm gonna stop
Speaker 1: eating at eight pm, and I can kind of eat
Speaker 1: whatever in between those hours. Like that's easy for me
Speaker 1: versus really trying to like manage what I eat, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like and be on like, Okay,
Speaker 1: so you eat eat whatever between noon and eight pm,
Speaker 1: eat whatever, I whatever I mean, But I still try
Speaker 1: to like stay you know, I don't like overdoing. It's
Speaker 1: not like I'm eating McDonald's all day. But I'm just
Speaker 1: not very strict with my diet. Um even though I
Speaker 1: naturally just like to eat healthy um, but I'm not
Speaker 1: strict with my diet. But I just feel like at
Speaker 1: some point that's going to just plateau and then I
Speaker 1: have to switch it up. And then what am I
Speaker 1: switching up to? So how many years have you been
Speaker 1: doing this? I've been doing this investing probably three two
Speaker 1: to three years. Okay, so at this point you think
Speaker 1: just plate toad. Well, well know because what happened. Okay,
Speaker 1: so during the pandemic, I fell out, Like when the
Speaker 1: pandemic first started, I fell off because I was literally
Speaker 1: eating like all day, all night, like I tell a
Speaker 1: story problems like Gelle. I had like, um, a couple
Speaker 1: of ice cream bars. It was like midnight, and I
Speaker 1: was like what I was doing that a lot of evil? Yes,
Speaker 1: it was crazy. I was like up all night until
Speaker 1: four in the morning. I because we were just like
Speaker 1: what is going on? And was just you're just staying
Speaker 1: up all night. And and so when I said, okay,
Speaker 1: enough of this, I'm gonna let me get back to
Speaker 1: my internet and fasting. Let me be strict about it.
Speaker 1: I I literally lost like fourteen pounds and how long. Um,
Speaker 1: I mean maybe like a couple of months or so. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. Well yeah, but that's the thing with um
Speaker 1: intermittent fasting or diets, Like I really try to stay
Speaker 1: away from that word, the term, because it has a
Speaker 1: negative stigma to it and be I like intuitive eating.
Speaker 1: So listen to your body. When you're hungry, eat, don't
Speaker 1: deprive yourself. Um. There's tons of misconceptions in the fitness industry,
Speaker 1: And when it comes to diet, you know, they're like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna starve myself. I'm not gonna eat and then
Speaker 1: I want to be skinny. Yeah, but then your organs
Speaker 1: are gonna shut down. You don't have the energy. It's
Speaker 1: not healthy. And then as soon as you do eat something,
Speaker 1: your body's gonna hold in store that and use it
Speaker 1: as fat instead of burning throughout the day. So you
Speaker 1: definitely want to just intuitively eat. It's it's again nice
Speaker 1: concept treating yourself nicely, giving yourself grace, eat what you want. Um,
Speaker 1: not everything obviously, but within reason um. And and really
Speaker 1: try to stay away from the junk food. Ordering out,
Speaker 1: you can make or duplicate the same foods that you
Speaker 1: were eating at Cava or Chipotle, but make it healthier. Right.
Speaker 1: We can control the sodium that goes into our food. Um.
Speaker 1: If you go out and cola is relatively healthy right,
Speaker 1: quote unquote that's what everyone thinks. But I get the
Speaker 1: double spicy meatballs and rice and it's so salty, But
Speaker 1: then that's where the water retention comes in. So it's
Speaker 1: a healthier alternative, but it's super high in sodium. Okay,
Speaker 1: So talk to me about whole food versus clean food. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's really the same thing. Yeah, Whole foods are
Speaker 1: just foods that aren't processed um and that you can
Speaker 1: like your vegetables, your meats, all that good stuff. That's
Speaker 1: what it is. I mean, so clean is the same thing.
Speaker 1: Clean eating is like no processed foods, no junk food,
Speaker 1: no sugar, no alcohol. Oh no, I'm not doing it,
Speaker 1: I know, but it works though. It does. But you
Speaker 1: thing you made at the whirl like you just walk
Speaker 1: around angry. So what Okay? So for people who not
Speaker 1: that they wanna, like, you know, drop a whole lot
Speaker 1: of weight, not that they're on like a strict weight
Speaker 1: loss program, but for people who just want to live
Speaker 1: a healthy life nutritionally, like, what do you recommend like
Speaker 1: their day look like as far as eating, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: definitely recommend any type of whitefish, even salmon that's a
Speaker 1: little bit fatterier, but that's fine too. It's healthier, um,
Speaker 1: lean proteins, chicken, turkey, tuna, flank, steak, any of that
Speaker 1: good stuff. And then carbs. A lot of people are
Speaker 1: for some reason shy from using carbs. Cars it's what's
Speaker 1: helping us build the booty, giving us mass. So I
Speaker 1: can bust out with some pasta. You can bust up
Speaker 1: with some whole grain pasta and call it a day.
Speaker 1: Whole grain pasta, I mean you can use What about
Speaker 1: the sauce? What am I putting on top of it?
Speaker 1: So all? Is it dry? No, it's not dry, m
Speaker 1: olive oil, a little bit of palm cheese or again
Speaker 1: within moderation, right, I'm not saying restrict yourself, because no
Speaker 1: one wants to live, especially right now. I know I
Speaker 1: don't know about you, girls, but I'm used to like
Speaker 1: where I find comfort is in food, and I'm with
Speaker 1: foodie and so I don't want to roster greedy girls.
Speaker 1: We're the worst. If you've ever seen this on television,
Speaker 1: we're eating yeah, yeah, it's My mother is like, can
Speaker 1: you stop eating on tv? It's just sweet, hurt yeah, hungry, right,
Speaker 1: hungry and crazy? Right, So yeah, pasta, brown rice, keen wall,
Speaker 1: sweet potatoes. Fruit again another misconception. It's better than you know,
Speaker 1: processed sugar, but it's still sugar, right, So again within moderation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've always shied away from fruit a little bit because
Speaker 1: I've heard that it's it's very high in sugar. And eat.
Speaker 1: You know, sugar is not good for you. So are
Speaker 1: there certain fruits to avoid more than others or ones
Speaker 1: to eat more than others? Yeah? I like berries, any
Speaker 1: type of berry, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, any of those watermelons
Speaker 1: super low and chigar rather than like the other pineapple, papaya,
Speaker 1: all that everything serves its terms, Like papaya is good
Speaker 1: for inflammation, so with pineapple, all that good stuff. So
Speaker 1: really it just depends. Salad another misconception. Everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll eat salad all day. Yeah, but then it's the
Speaker 1: stuff that onto right. Salad kind of makes me bloated recently.
Speaker 1: So maybe because you're using too much. A lot of
Speaker 1: that is fibrous food, like the green leafy greens that
Speaker 1: might be too much for you, Like broccoli is very fibrous.
Speaker 1: And so I don't really refer that to any of
Speaker 1: my clients. It's funny, yesterday my client chests to me.
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm so bloated. She just got off the
Speaker 1: meal plan and now she's trying to maintain. She ordered
Speaker 1: a meal prep company and they gave her she's so blowed.
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's why I didn't broccoli kale. Kale is
Speaker 1: good any dark leafy greens. But again, I've once made
Speaker 1: a smoothie I put a ton of kale, trying to
Speaker 1: overcompensate from like what I did yesterday, right, super bloated,
Speaker 1: the next day, super bloated. So it'll definitely help you
Speaker 1: retain water. Loading how she retaining water? No eating that
Speaker 1: too much and obtaining water. You know, your your body
Speaker 1: is always talking to you, so always listen to it.
Speaker 1: Like if I skip a meal, if I go more
Speaker 1: than two hours without eating, my stomach will start to
Speaker 1: bloat out. So immediately I drink water to help flush
Speaker 1: that out, and then I eat a meal. You don't
Speaker 1: get that, You guys don't get that. I think I'm
Speaker 1: just bloated just because we're bloated. Because your body is
Speaker 1: asking for food. You need a free next time, next
Speaker 1: time you're bloated. That's like so opposite of what I
Speaker 1: think I would think. Let me not eat now, I'm
Speaker 1: going to get bloated. And that's the thing. Quartos levels
Speaker 1: go up, hormones are raving, your body is reacting. Your
Speaker 1: body is telling you, hey, feed me, I'm hungry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: listen to your body until when you say you eat
Speaker 1: every two hours? Like, what are you eating every two hours?
Speaker 1: I would be huge at that point. I'm eating egg whites, chicken, turkey.
Speaker 1: But right now I'm Robin knows my little journey. I've
Speaker 1: been trying to lose weight for the last I don't know,
Speaker 1: six months now. So you look great, by the way,
Speaker 1: thank you people out there who can't see us, she
Speaker 1: looks fantastic. But in all, honestly, when when I saw Anna,
Speaker 1: what was that in February March March we filmed a
Speaker 1: workout scene outside I noticed that she had gained a
Speaker 1: lot of weight, right pounds? Wow? Yeah, are you supposed
Speaker 1: to say that as a friend? Just I'm just asking
Speaker 1: for It's fine, Yes, We're comfortable, okay. And honestly, when
Speaker 1: I saw her, I was like, I need to call
Speaker 1: her after this and check on her to make sure
Speaker 1: she's okay. Because as a first of all, as a woman,
Speaker 1: I know, you know a lot of our self worth
Speaker 1: or happiness is tied into our weight. Um. But as
Speaker 1: a trainer, you know, I know that that's tied into
Speaker 1: your career and your job and just like you're being
Speaker 1: and so I was like, let me just call her
Speaker 1: and check on her and make sure that she's okay.
Speaker 1: Do you feel extra pressure all the time because you're
Speaker 1: a trainer all the time, Like, this is the first
Speaker 1: time in my entire career fifteen years that I've overweight.
Speaker 1: You're not. You're not overcome on now, You're not overweight. No, no,
Speaker 1: I promise you. I don't I promise you. I don't
Speaker 1: remember what you look like. When I saw her, I
Speaker 1: knew it was abnormal, you know what I mean. It
Speaker 1: was to the point where I was like, something's not right, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I knew, you know, it was you know, right, pandemic.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure there was a lot of stress and
Speaker 1: other stuff going on, and so you know, I definitely
Speaker 1: wasn't judging. I just wanted to make sure that you
Speaker 1: were okay. Yeah, it was nice. She She actually did
Speaker 1: call right after we filmed, and I was so embarrassed.
Speaker 1: I didn't take the call. I told you I was working,
Speaker 1: but I was just I couldn't. Yeah, I was in
Speaker 1: a really low place in my life. Um. I think
Speaker 1: last October I got put on Sitala fram which is
Speaker 1: an anti anxiety slash depression on medication that make you
Speaker 1: gain Wait right, it made me gain thirty five pounds
Speaker 1: in five months. And so it wasn't even just the
Speaker 1: weight gain. It was like uncontrollably. I was never satiated.
Speaker 1: I was hungry all the time. The things I was
Speaker 1: eating is really really bad. I mean, and I was
Speaker 1: drinking at tending m no worst. No. I was eating
Speaker 1: pizza mozzarella listed top ramen. Who does that, nobody. But
Speaker 1: it wasn't even just the water, you know, the waking.
Speaker 1: It was the water retention that came with it. So
Speaker 1: literally we aired or we filmed in March. The next
Speaker 1: day after filming, I got off the meds good along
Speaker 1: with other meds like for control and stuff. And for
Speaker 1: three months. It wasn't until June. I was driving in
Speaker 1: my sister's house and I literally felt something inside of
Speaker 1: me like kind of deflate quote unquote deflate, and I said,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, my bloating is gone. And since June,
Speaker 1: I've lost twenty pounds. Oh, and I wasn't able to.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was killing myself. I was working out,
Speaker 1: eating king, working out twice a day. Rather you know,
Speaker 1: how I get down and nothing. It was the medication.
Speaker 1: The cortisol levels were up, my homebones were off balance.
Speaker 1: It takes a while, so we will need to know that.
Speaker 1: You need to know that everything plays a part in
Speaker 1: what's going on with your body, so medications, how you're feeling, anxiety, depression,
Speaker 1: all that, like that all plays a part in holding
Speaker 1: on to wait and check on your friends. Robin noticed
Speaker 1: immediately that something wasn't right, and she checked on me.
Speaker 1: I have friends that still haven't checked on me. Okay,
Speaker 1: they just they just like some friends. I guess they
Speaker 1: just don't want to like push the needle and like
Speaker 1: offend you. But I just knew, like I'm like, I
Speaker 1: know that you're not happy, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I was, and and to be honest, I was not
Speaker 1: going to air or at all. Like the first thing
Speaker 1: I told you, I think was I gained a lot
Speaker 1: of weight and you're like, oh, you're fine, I think
Speaker 1: thinking like it was fine. And then the only reason
Speaker 1: I did it was because of my kettle bows. That
Speaker 1: was it. And then when it aired, I literally almost
Speaker 1: slit my wrist. I was just so awful. But look
Speaker 1: at the courage of you, like sharing that story, like
Speaker 1: that's amazing you, Like women were so hard on ourselves, right,
Speaker 1: and we have to stop doing that to ourselves because
Speaker 1: we're adding even more and more stress unnecessarily. Right. I'm
Speaker 1: so proud of you for showing up because you know,
Speaker 1: if you were in a not in a happy place,
Speaker 1: it still took a lot of bravery to do that,
Speaker 1: and honestly to show people like, you know, no matter
Speaker 1: what you're going through in life, you still gotta you know,
Speaker 1: show up for yourself. Yeah, show up for yourself, because
Speaker 1: that's that's how you're going to get out of it.
Speaker 1: That's true. Okay, let's go back to like the like
Speaker 1: some some simple tips like Okay, if it's like you know,
Speaker 1: like lunch dinner type things, yea, yeah, snack. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: everyone loves eggs, right, so you can do you guys
Speaker 1: don't like eggs, no, I mean I'm speaking for everyone.
Speaker 1: Everyone doesn't like eggs that I don't. I've got a
Speaker 1: egg girl. So here's a cute thing. If you like pancakes, right,
Speaker 1: everyone likes pancakes, right, okay, Sarah, butter So if you
Speaker 1: do a little bit of oats like oatmeal, and then
Speaker 1: mix it in with some egg white or chose regular eggs,
Speaker 1: and then that's boom. That's your batter for pancakes. So
Speaker 1: you have oatmeal pancakes. Yeah, uh yes, okay, so I
Speaker 1: eat oatmeal every day, yes, for breakfast. Okay, So you're
Speaker 1: telling me I can take liquid egg whites, pour it
Speaker 1: in there to kind of make it the consistency of
Speaker 1: like a pancake, and then make it as a pancake
Speaker 1: and then put some butter in the pan. Yeah or
Speaker 1: throw yeah, live your life, just okay, and then cook
Speaker 1: it up. And that's my pancakes, and that's your pancake.
Speaker 1: You're telling me that's gonna taste good. That's gonna taste good,
Speaker 1: and it's healthy. You have egg white and you have oats,
Speaker 1: so the oak okay, they have to be like the
Speaker 1: quick dissolved oats. They can be yeah, not steel cut
Speaker 1: still puts too hard, Okay, Okay, I'm gonna try and
Speaker 1: then put some peanut butter on top of it, and
Speaker 1: dre's a little bit of honey. But you don't like that,
Speaker 1: you can use that. But that's a healthier alternative. It
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be from zero to a hundred. You
Speaker 1: can make small changes and then boom, you have more
Speaker 1: protein than your morning meal. Right. So protein is is
Speaker 1: key to building lean muscle and losing fat. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: now let's stop there with breakfast, because I have been
Speaker 1: always taught like breakfast is the most important meal of
Speaker 1: the day. You have to eat breakfast. You have to
Speaker 1: eat breakfast. Is that true? It is true. It helps
Speaker 1: feed up your metabolism throughout the day. Again, it helps
Speaker 1: give you energy. Um. Some of my clients, when I
Speaker 1: asked them, like, what is your typical day, look like
Speaker 1: most of the time they're not losing weight because they're
Speaker 1: under eating. And one of the things that they don't
Speaker 1: do is they don't eat breakfast. They have to eat breakfast.
Speaker 1: As soon as you add a meal or two in boom,
Speaker 1: that's where the magic happen. It's okay, So I don't
Speaker 1: eat breakfast clearly because I intermittent fast, but even before then,
Speaker 1: I didn't really eat breakfast. And I will always find
Speaker 1: that when I did eat breakfast, I was starving the
Speaker 1: rest of the day, metabolism spiking up already just like that.
Speaker 1: And to me, you know, my ignorance, like that's a
Speaker 1: bad thing. I'm like, I don't want to be like,
Speaker 1: you know, eating like all the times. But that's not bad.
Speaker 1: That's like you're supposed to eat frequently. Yeah, if you're
Speaker 1: frequently hungry every few hours, you're metabolisms up. That means
Speaker 1: you're working out, you're eating consistently. That's what you want.
Speaker 1: That's where the magic happens. That's when you start to
Speaker 1: lose weight and fast magic. I thought it was apparently breakfast.
Speaker 1: The hard heart for me is there's so many conflicting misconceptions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just just so so you're I mean, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: you're gonna be like, you know what, just stick to
Speaker 1: like the eating every how many okay, so how many men? Okay,
Speaker 1: So let's get to lunch, because we did past that
Speaker 1: was breakfast. So for lunch, breakfast and I'm gonna say, yeah,
Speaker 1: where's the snack. You can have a smoothie. You can
Speaker 1: have Greek yogurt with some fruit, peaches, pine nuts, or whatever,
Speaker 1: any type of right. M A grapefruit is a natural diuretic.
Speaker 1: So when when I see natural diuretic, it just helps
Speaker 1: excrete fluid. Right, So okay, I really like lace potato chips.
Speaker 1: And then I love the day round leavinish. So you're
Speaker 1: like a little bag, not the big bag, just like
Speaker 1: you know that little bag that you're put in your
Speaker 1: kids lunch. Yeah, that just like gets the edge off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's cure. You like the crunchy becausist and see
Speaker 1: a little salt you can do kill chips. That's perfect.
Speaker 1: She's killing me. If you want change, no one's asking
Speaker 1: you to change. What. Okay? Okay? What do you think
Speaker 1: about parmesan crisp? I love that? Okay? So you go
Speaker 1: to Whole Food and it's like they're you know where
Speaker 1: the olive bar is there, they sit on top and
Speaker 1: it's like they promise parmesan. They're I think they're like bait.
Speaker 1: They're like it's like she's yeah, so who would that
Speaker 1: be more acceptable than the laces potatoes? She's perfect. I
Speaker 1: didn't know about that. Yeah, I love that would be better. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get those tomorrow, right, okay, all right, So
Speaker 1: then you can do a big salad darkly for greens
Speaker 1: instead of a little lettuce. That's more nutritious, so as
Speaker 1: in kale, kale, spinach, color, greens, any of that good stuff. Right,
Speaker 1: Rugla is great. Okay. It's a little bit more peppery too,
Speaker 1: so it gives it a little consistency. Um loaded up
Speaker 1: with as many vegetes as you want, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, asparagus,
Speaker 1: whatever you want. And then a lean protein, so salmon,
Speaker 1: a whitefish, chicken, breast, tuna, any of that. I know, tuna.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are like, well, what's tuna without male? Right? Well,
Speaker 1: I have a surprise. You can use tuna and avocado.
Speaker 1: It's the same consistency and it's still gonna make it. Yes,
Speaker 1: avocados of mayo. That makes sense. It is not a
Speaker 1: lie together. Yes, okay, but then then it's going to
Speaker 1: look cream it's weird. I'm gonna try it. I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I'm trying, Okay, alright, avocado, set of mayonnaise. Yes, in
Speaker 1: your tuna. Okay, and then you live in your life.
Speaker 1: You're drinking your water and then another snack or not. Okay,
Speaker 1: So when when do I get to have something sweet?
Speaker 1: Because you know, at this point in time, I didn't
Speaker 1: eat my chips in for the other snack. Can I
Speaker 1: have like some chocolate? Now, you can have some chocolate
Speaker 1: cookies something. You can have chocolate, dark chocolate, coco cocoa,
Speaker 1: coco chocolate. You can have a smoothie, you can have
Speaker 1: I'd be smoothied out. Oh, you do more smoothies in
Speaker 1: the morning, you see, I mean that'd be two smoothies
Speaker 1: when you have your first one. But she offered it
Speaker 1: earlier for my snack. But if you don't have a smoothie,
Speaker 1: you can have yeah, or the other snacks that I said,
Speaker 1: the Greek yogurt, the grape fruit, all that, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: all right? So for me, I know Robin does intermitte intermittent.
Speaker 1: I can't. Why can't I say that word intermittent? Okay?
Speaker 1: So I eat breakfast, lunch, and then I feel like
Speaker 1: I want to be done really after lunch. After lunch,
Speaker 1: is I mean if I if I eat dinner, I
Speaker 1: really don't want to eat past like four o'clock. I know,
Speaker 1: I'm an old lady in the may Jeese, you know
Speaker 1: almost intermitted fastings. Know we have a different window window
Speaker 1: because but my reasoning is because A if I eat late,
Speaker 1: I can't sleep. You can't know what's late late? It
Speaker 1: is like eighty my spirit animals. So is that like
Speaker 1: am I depriving myself of nutrients and things that I
Speaker 1: need because I basically kind of cut dinner out. Okay,
Speaker 1: And but how do you feel during that time, do
Speaker 1: you feel our energy? Uh, well, you're on a different schedule, right,
Speaker 1: Everyone's on a different schedule, nurses, trainers. You have your
Speaker 1: own thing. But if you're up for the next seven hours,
Speaker 1: you definitely want to eat. So you're sleeping, that's something different,
Speaker 1: and that's that's fine. So then how many times would
Speaker 1: you say you eat between a meal and a snack
Speaker 1: a day? Um, one to four? Okay, that's not bad.
Speaker 1: That's not bad. So like breakfast, a snack, um, lunch, lunch,
Speaker 1: and then a snack and I'm done. That's not bad.
Speaker 1: And I drink a lot of water. But but sometimes
Speaker 1: I get worried because sometimes I do, Like if I
Speaker 1: wake up in the middle of night and go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom, I am a little hungry, right because I
Speaker 1: haven't really eaten a big breakfast, but I mean a dinner.
Speaker 1: But if I eat that dinner, trust and believe, I
Speaker 1: can't really sleep. But if you're eating dinner at six,
Speaker 1: you have enough time to kind of, you know, get
Speaker 1: rid of that. Did you not here? I go to
Speaker 1: bed at eight thirty, but six you have two hours
Speaker 1: to digest Okay, okay, try it? Okay, But do I
Speaker 1: need it. I feel like I don't need these extra
Speaker 1: if you don't feel like you need it. But if
Speaker 1: if your goal is weight loss, I don't even know
Speaker 1: what your goals are. My goal is to just be
Speaker 1: you know, a bit. I think for anyone who's trying
Speaker 1: to lose weight needs to eat frequent, smaller meals during
Speaker 1: the day, intuitive eating, not restrict, stay consistent, and drink
Speaker 1: their water and work out. Okay, So then okay, so
Speaker 1: let's get to everybody else, normal people. What do you
Speaker 1: recommend for dinner? So for dinner again, something more lean,
Speaker 1: not as well. You can have your carbs at lunch
Speaker 1: or your snacks um dinner, a little bit less carbi,
Speaker 1: whitefish salad, maybe some asparagus that's again a natural diuretic.
Speaker 1: Any type of fish, any type of chickens good again,
Speaker 1: tuna lean lean lean. Okay, and is this realistic? Like?
Speaker 1: How long can you can? You? Really? Like? I feel
Speaker 1: like if your goals are important to you, and if
Speaker 1: you're prioritizing you, and if you really want to do something,
Speaker 1: then you'll do it. But again, the progress of a
Speaker 1: perfection method, right, You're probably not going to do that
Speaker 1: seven days a week, but maybe you'll do it and
Speaker 1: maybe the next week maybe you'll do some carry out
Speaker 1: options that are mimicking what you're trying to do. I
Speaker 1: like that, right, But again, keep it in mind that
Speaker 1: anything that you do order outside, it's going to be
Speaker 1: drained in the salt and the dressing. So so, because
Speaker 1: so I like to go out to eat, or that's
Speaker 1: really bad. No, that's not bad. I go out all
Speaker 1: the time. I mean, but I stick to well, I
Speaker 1: don't always stick to but if I'm being good or good, um,
Speaker 1: I do white fish salads and and then I do
Speaker 1: do dessert. So I don't either. So actually I have
Speaker 1: a rule if I don't if I go out, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna drink and have dessert. I'll either do one
Speaker 1: or the other. I like that, you know, you're just
Speaker 1: that's reasonable. That like that tell us what processed foods
Speaker 1: and what a bad diet like does to us, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like some people don't really realize
Speaker 1: what we're doing to ourselves. Inflammation number one, it will
Speaker 1: have you inflamed, bloated, like chronic bloating, joints, hurting, uh,
Speaker 1: smelling differently, bo I mean it comes right out with alcohol, right,
Speaker 1: you go out the night before the next day, you're like, well,
Speaker 1: the same thing with processed foods. You age more, your
Speaker 1: skin elessicity isn't s tight um Yeah, and then you
Speaker 1: know you're not hydrated, you have a harder time moving,
Speaker 1: your sluggish and really that affects your whole mood. So
Speaker 1: depression maybe a side effect insomnia, not sleeping or sleeping
Speaker 1: too much. So it's really you know what you're eating.
Speaker 1: It's so food is medicine? Really, could you tell us
Speaker 1: like a few things, I don't know, three or five
Speaker 1: items for people to try to avoid at all costs,
Speaker 1: and then maybe like three to five that you should
Speaker 1: definitely try to incorporate on a daily basis. So pizza,
Speaker 1: which one? Which one? Like, so this is avoid avoid pizza, yeah,
Speaker 1: like like every other day. You can't eat pizza every
Speaker 1: other day. It's protein. Cheese is protein, right, Yeah. But
Speaker 1: a lot of people, even as adults, are walking around
Speaker 1: their lactose intolerant, they have no idea why oh I
Speaker 1: am and I know it and I don't even care,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, so, but I have a question,
Speaker 1: like what about like California crust pizza. Okay, I haven't
Speaker 1: had that, But what is that healthier? I mean, that's
Speaker 1: a California cauliflower. Again, that's a healthier alternative. You can
Speaker 1: try to mimic the bad foods to something that's different
Speaker 1: that you're going to cook at home, that you have
Speaker 1: control over with the condiments. Okay, A lot of time
Speaker 1: is more of the condiments more than anything and stuff
Speaker 1: that makes it taste good. But I pizza, but cheese
Speaker 1: on pizza is like he like, it's so heavy they
Speaker 1: drink it, which is why it's so good, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: ice cream and alcohol. Stay away from ice cream and alcohol.
Speaker 1: I watered to leave. I know, I want to leave
Speaker 1: so well, ice cream is dairy, right yeah, so so
Speaker 1: we're just a dairy. If you can not all, you
Speaker 1: don't have to cut it out, but you know, be mindful,
Speaker 1: right okay. And so why why I know alcohol is
Speaker 1: like really bad. It's just calories. You don't need caloriestion
Speaker 1: on Okay, it's just you know, just save that. I mean,
Speaker 1: but if you're drinking it straight and taken to the
Speaker 1: head right with a little bit of lime, that's different. Okay. Okay,
Speaker 1: So it's healthier alternative when the cocktails to just exactly
Speaker 1: I can do that exactly. That's how we live our lives,
Speaker 1: right right, Okay, so that's four because it's more. Um,
Speaker 1: let's see what to avoid eating out like the McDonald's,
Speaker 1: the the fast food, the chicken nuggets, all that is trash.
Speaker 1: Like I remember, I haven't had McDonald's in such a
Speaker 1: long time, and two years ago ahead McDonald's and I
Speaker 1: immediately I was in a food coma. I went straight
Speaker 1: to sleep. I was like, that's not normal. They are
Speaker 1: naturally putting things in your foods to make you feel
Speaker 1: that way, but they're addictive if they're fries are like
Speaker 1: out of control though they're really I don't even like
Speaker 1: their friends like their fries them. Okay, al right, so
Speaker 1: and so what should we incorporate? What you know, more
Speaker 1: water number one, more greens, dark water. How do you
Speaker 1: feel like or how important is to put like limb.
Speaker 1: I always see like whatever you want to do, you
Speaker 1: can even put raspberries, blueberries, anything to make it cute
Speaker 1: for you to you know, keep a little flavor, not
Speaker 1: even to give it flavor, but like is it important?
Speaker 1: Like is lemon? Is lemon something that's it's different detoxification?
Speaker 1: Yeah inclamation, yeah, so people do that for that, but
Speaker 1: I just drink it straight if you can tolerate. Some
Speaker 1: people naturally don't like that. It's too plain and so
Speaker 1: me too. It's so good, you know. I remember when
Speaker 1: I was in college for what, I don't know why,
Speaker 1: Like I and I used to I used to drink
Speaker 1: juice and soda like Cherry Coke, all this stuff all
Speaker 1: the time in college. And for whatever reason, one day
Speaker 1: I was just like, I'm going to stop drinking soda
Speaker 1: and juice and I'm just going to drink water. And
Speaker 1: I did that and I literally lost like fifteen pounds immediately.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, right, that's crazy, Yeah, shouldn't. And I never
Speaker 1: looked back like so now it's like, you know, I
Speaker 1: drink water for the most part. I drink a juice
Speaker 1: or something. It's like I don't know, like I'm just
Speaker 1: for whatever, you know. Sometimes you ever just like I
Speaker 1: just want to some juice. Yes, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know what I'm like lacking at that time. That maybe
Speaker 1: I'm just like all my period or something. Maybe again again,
Speaker 1: being mindful of how your body is reacting, right, and
Speaker 1: when sometimes I like to drop things down, like why
Speaker 1: am I feeling like this, I'm bloated, I haven't eaten
Speaker 1: blah blah. And then sometimes I'm like, oh, I'm hungry.
Speaker 1: But that's a good tip, like like taking note of
Speaker 1: how your body is feeling. When you're feeling a little
Speaker 1: off exactly like that. And maybe you were having cravings
Speaker 1: because of your one week out or that time. Can
Speaker 1: you go back to the stuff to avoid? Um? What
Speaker 1: do you think about corn? Corn? Because I hear bad
Speaker 1: things about corn. It's hard to digest. Corn is hard
Speaker 1: to digest. It does a little kernel breaks in your system. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean a thing moderation. I don't like to restrict
Speaker 1: or you know, it's not cold turkey. The whole progress
Speaker 1: over perfection. So eat it sometimes but not too much. Okay,
Speaker 1: just keep that in mind, all right, water, waterpate, dark
Speaker 1: leafy greens, any kale, color greens, spinach, any of cook
Speaker 1: cook the kale can definitely it takes out a little
Speaker 1: bit of the nutritional value aspect of it. Raw. I
Speaker 1: think it's probably better, but if you can't, like, I
Speaker 1: don't like salads, so I really just add a little
Speaker 1: bit of bone broth or chicken broth and then that's it.
Speaker 1: Garlic and then call it. You don't like that. What
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Cooking my greens? Saute bone broth? Yes?
Speaker 1: How is that? It's like bone like chicken broth? VEG.
Speaker 1: You heard a bone broth? Yeah, I cook my when
Speaker 1: I cook my kale, I cook it in chicken broth,
Speaker 1: So I means similar. Okay, Yeah, broth is a bone
Speaker 1: from it is like the broth from chicken. Yes, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I do put olive oil on it and put
Speaker 1: it in the oven. Yeah that's good. That's good. Okay,
Speaker 1: you can do that for your kale chips. Yes, asparagus
Speaker 1: which is like my number one go to natural diuretic. Really,
Speaker 1: I have like a treat meal the night before next day,
Speaker 1: I'm eating asparagus and many spears, like how much I
Speaker 1: would say, like I would say six or seven spears
Speaker 1: are three ounces? That's good for one, you know, sitting
Speaker 1: I do like double or triple sometimes. Really. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a natural diretic. It's just my shoes. Like flush your
Speaker 1: system exactly. Actually like that like your slow that's that's good.
Speaker 1: So you have a cheat meal if you ate bad
Speaker 1: the day before, try to get some, but don't give
Speaker 1: it to your man. Correct yes, because it makes their stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah it doesn't. Yeah, do you not eat asparagus? That's
Speaker 1: life changing, life change? Yes, Okay, I'll get something. You
Speaker 1: should try it now, okay. And I like to cook
Speaker 1: mine and you tell me this, Okay, I'll put the
Speaker 1: oven on like four. It's like to roast them, drizzlelement
Speaker 1: olive oil, little Himalayan or coacher salt, crack, black black pepper,
Speaker 1: a little bit of garlic something, and um, put them
Speaker 1: in the oven. What about like I don't know, twelve
Speaker 1: minutes or something. I like my little crunch and then
Speaker 1: they're really good. Is that good? That's perfect? Get that perfection.
Speaker 1: I like mine steams. I like I'm super bland though.
Speaker 1: I find that the more seasons I use, the more
Speaker 1: cravings I have. So to eliminate that when I'm trying
Speaker 1: to lose weight, I don't use any season. So my chicken,
Speaker 1: my fish, my salmon, I just put it straight into
Speaker 1: the oven. Well nothing, Yeah, it's weird. And I know
Speaker 1: when I was working out with Anna, Anna would actually
Speaker 1: cook food from Oh my god, I forgot about that
Speaker 1: and would bring them to the gym and we put
Speaker 1: in her back and it was like this hell. It
Speaker 1: was all that healthy, bland stuff, and I was like,
Speaker 1: but how did you feel? I know she hated it?
Speaker 1: Didn't you? Did you eat it? I hated it? I
Speaker 1: mean I ate it, but I hated it. But how
Speaker 1: did you feel during did you feel good or the same?
Speaker 1: I'm sure I felt good. I can't even remember. I can't. Trauma, okay, trauma?
Speaker 1: So did you give us five? One? So water darkly
Speaker 1: for greens, asparagus, um, fruit right, fruits good, grapefruit again,
Speaker 1: natural diuretic. Any type of fruit is better than anything sweet?
Speaker 1: Right again? Progress over perfection. And then last one. I
Speaker 1: would just say moving, work, working out, its sweat. I
Speaker 1: don't care what you get. Get up off the couch,
Speaker 1: go outside and walk while it's hot. Maybe you're sweating
Speaker 1: from this. Get those toxins out through your boards. Okay. So,
Speaker 1: as Robin told you earlier, sleep alive. Isn't this good?
Speaker 1: Isn't this a healthy thing? Sleeping is good? But why
Speaker 1: are you sleeping? Because I'm tired? Okay, I don't sleep
Speaker 1: a lot, but I go to bed. She goes about
Speaker 1: it early and she wakes up at what time? Like
Speaker 1: five schedule? Okay, yeah, you're getting six to eight hours. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's normal. Okay, that's not enough. That's not enough. No,
Speaker 1: she's getting enough sleep. You're not. You're I'm getting more
Speaker 1: sleep than you. I need like nine oh I need
Speaker 1: like nine hours. Okay, wake up, Okay, give me your sleep.
Speaker 1: What time you go to bed? And normally I'm not
Speaker 1: on a schedule, but okay, if I go to bed
Speaker 1: at midnight, Um, yeah, midnight, I'm waking up eleven sometimes
Speaker 1: and I'm in bed right robes not calling me or
Speaker 1: text me, are you know? Yes? But the other day
Speaker 1: I texted you a picture and you replied like early
Speaker 1: in the morning. Um, so yeah, yeah, I'm midnight, going
Speaker 1: to bed at midnight and waking up at like nine. Well,
Speaker 1: when you know when the kids are in school, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're getting eight and nine out. So as long as
Speaker 1: you're getting eight or nine, you're good. Eight six or eight,
Speaker 1: you're good. Okay, Okay, we're doing that. Okay, So we're
Speaker 1: doing something good. Okay. So I have a question. It's
Speaker 1: kind of the opposite of nutrition for weight loss, like
Speaker 1: what about for kids. So I have two boys, they
Speaker 1: play sports, they're growing. You know, Gsel's got girls that
Speaker 1: are growing. But you know, especially for the boys, we
Speaker 1: want them to grow and be strong and taller and
Speaker 1: you know all that, Like, is there anything like what
Speaker 1: do I need to be doing for my kids so
Speaker 1: that they can avoiding? You know, we as you as parents,
Speaker 1: not a parent, The quick things we want to do
Speaker 1: is just take our kids out and go through the
Speaker 1: drive through or Uber eats or whatever. Cook your food
Speaker 1: for your children. Yeah, I know what about these working moms,
Speaker 1: I got like eighteen jobs. There's all these meal prep
Speaker 1: delivery services. Now I think that's better. They want my
Speaker 1: kids like they want me. But pastas. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: guess the same. Okay, So I asked that because you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: eat eat eggs and you know that's for weight loss,
Speaker 1: lean this and lean that. But I'm like, what if
Speaker 1: I want them to Yeah, kids are trying to lose weight.
Speaker 1: I don't think that a lot of them, right, So
Speaker 1: like for athletes, boys, yeah, whatever they want, they're going
Speaker 1: to burn it off, especially your kids, right, they're going
Speaker 1: to burn it off. Pastas are good for protein and
Speaker 1: car especially the night before for games. Um, everyone always
Speaker 1: eat spaghetti like before games period. Um, they're probably not
Speaker 1: eating any spinache or any salads like that, but grilled chicken.
Speaker 1: I think kids will eat fun vegetables, carrots, cauliflower, rice.
Speaker 1: I don't have kids eat stuff like that. You know,
Speaker 1: well they probably won't even know either. You can trick them.
Speaker 1: You can trick you know, put some peas in some things,
Speaker 1: or make a fun uh one of my my nieces
Speaker 1: and nephews like the chocolate protein we put chocolate protein powder,
Speaker 1: peanut butter, put a little bit of banana, some fun
Speaker 1: snacks in there, and then they'll eat it right up
Speaker 1: because it's chocolate. So you know, doing stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and then you can also add greens and it won't show.
Speaker 1: That's also a way of getting the kids eat some green.
Speaker 1: Love it. Okay, you have given us a lot to
Speaker 1: think about. Okay, good And I don't understand why I'm
Speaker 1: looking at you now. I don't have a pink kettlebell
Speaker 1: in my house. I would get a great one, but
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was this what we were doing.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would just be happy to swing it around.
Speaker 1: We need to get you one. No, but this has
Speaker 1: been great information. I feel like, um, definitely, I'm taking
Speaker 1: away the little pancake thing. I'm gonna make in the
Speaker 1: morning trail and the egg whites. I'll send you a recipe, okay,
Speaker 1: and then I'm going to definitely buy some asparagus perfect
Speaker 1: so I can ask some stinky p exactly. That's the
Speaker 1: way to go, Rother. What are you going to do?
Speaker 1: What am I going to do? You know? I think
Speaker 1: I'm going to think long and hard. But if I'm
Speaker 1: going to break my inter minute fasting and get and
Speaker 1: get on like more of a normal like breakfast, snack, lunch,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and just see what that
Speaker 1: does for me, and then just commit to cooking, you know,
Speaker 1: more of like the lean proteins, like you said, honestly
Speaker 1: with this pandemic, Like it's so crazy. When the pandemic
Speaker 1: first started, I was like cooking all day, right because
Speaker 1: we were in the house and I was cooking breakfast, lunch,
Speaker 1: and dinner. And then it just I hit a wall
Speaker 1: where it got to the point where all I would
Speaker 1: do is door dash and uber eats and now, oh
Speaker 1: my god, it is so hard to get out of it.
Speaker 1: And so I'm kind of like I'm getting out of
Speaker 1: it finally, but I need to like really make it
Speaker 1: like more of you know, cooking at home is the norm,
Speaker 1: and then eating out it's not like it was. It
Speaker 1: just got so bad. So's that's a hard rut to
Speaker 1: get in and get out of. Yes, I'm not out
Speaker 1: of it. I'm still in it. Yeah, I'm still there too,
Speaker 1: but I'm like slowly getting there, slowly getting there. So um,
Speaker 1: but I definitely want to like and it's so weird
Speaker 1: I used to eat I do think about how, you see,
Speaker 1: I used to cook asparagus all the time. I haven't
Speaker 1: made asparagus and forever, you know what I mean. So,
Speaker 1: I think for people like you, a lot of people
Speaker 1: are like that. One thing, you know, the meal prep services.
Speaker 1: They're better than the fast food stuff. You're going to
Speaker 1: give you your sweet potatoes, whatever, brown brice or whatever.
Speaker 1: You can customize it with whatever you like and then
Speaker 1: have that instead of you know, Uber Eats or delivery. Right,
Speaker 1: that's a healthier alternative. I like that, Like the meal
Speaker 1: prep Yeah, okay, I do get a blue Apron box
Speaker 1: you know, for them for you know, almost every week,
Speaker 1: so and I think those are much healthier than right,
Speaker 1: It's already there is convenient people are paying for the
Speaker 1: convenience aspect of it. Right, we don't. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: soaked over cooking right now. I've been cooking for four
Speaker 1: months straight and I'm like, I'm over it. But i
Speaker 1: still have my goals and to lose another fifteen pounds
Speaker 1: and that's what I have to do, one day at
Speaker 1: a time. Okay. So then the last when you do
Speaker 1: go out to eat, are there you know some people
Speaker 1: I say, okay, they tell the people, okay, cook my food,
Speaker 1: but don't use any salt or don't any butter or
Speaker 1: should you do that when you go out? Yeah, restaurants
Speaker 1: are very friendly to people who have different allergies or
Speaker 1: anything like that too. Preferences, right, So if you ask
Speaker 1: for a salad, maybe bring the dressing onto the side
Speaker 1: or no salt because a lot of people are salt sensitive,
Speaker 1: like myself, and I asked for that all the time.
Speaker 1: I almost start doing that. You can ask them to
Speaker 1: bring a side of salt. And then you can exactly
Speaker 1: little things like that, drinking the water of course, salads
Speaker 1: and before you eat, to try to suppress the appetite
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, a little sttle things. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and doritos and oreoles are great, right, they're great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And my less potato exactly all right, well, thank you
