Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. Ladies, 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,
Speaker 1: right you go on the night before the next day,
Speaker 1: you're like, well, right, the same thing with processed foods,
Speaker 1: you age more, your skin elessicity isn't s tight um Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you know you're not hydrated, you have a
Speaker 1: harder time moving, your sluggish and really that affects your
Speaker 1: whole mood. So depression maybe a side effect insomnia, not
Speaker 1: sleeping or sleeping too much. So it's really you know
Speaker 1: what you're eating, it's food is medicine. Really, could you
Speaker 1: tell us like a few things, I don't know, three
Speaker 1: or five items for people to try to avoid at
Speaker 1: all costs, and then maybe like three to five that
Speaker 1: you should definitely try to incorporate on a daily basis.
Speaker 1: So pizza, which one like the avoid avoid avoid pizza? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like like every other day, you can't eat pizza every
Speaker 1: other day's protein. Cheese is protein? Right, Yeah. But a
Speaker 1: lot of people, even as adults, are walking around their
Speaker 1: lactose intolerant, they have no idea why oh I am
Speaker 1: and I know it and I don't even care, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, so, but I have a question, like
Speaker 1: what about like California crust pizza. Okay, I haven't had that,
Speaker 1: but what is that healthier. I mean, that's a California cauliflower. Again,
Speaker 1: that's a healthier alternative. You can try to mimic the
Speaker 1: bad foods to something that's different that you're going to
Speaker 1: cook at home, that you have control over with the condiments. Okay,
Speaker 1: a lot of the time is more of the condiments
Speaker 1: more than anything and stuff that makes it taste good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I pizza, but cheese on pizza is like he like,
Speaker 1: it's so heavy they drink it, which is why it's
Speaker 1: so good, right, yeah, Um, ice cream and alcohol. Stay
Speaker 1: away from ice cream and alcohol. I water, I know
Speaker 1: so well, ice cream is dairy, right yeah. So so
Speaker 1: we're just kind of all day if you can, but
Speaker 1: not all You don't have to cut it out, but
Speaker 1: you know, be mindful, right Okay, And so why why
Speaker 1: I know alcohol is like really bad. It's just calories.
Speaker 1: You don't need calories. Okay, it's just you know that.
Speaker 1: But I mean, but if you're drinking it straight and
Speaker 1: taking to the head right with a little bit of lime,
Speaker 1: that's different. Okay, Okay, So it's healthier alternative, wails exactly.
Speaker 1: I can do that exactly. That's how we live our lives, right, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's four, give us more. Um, let's see what
Speaker 1: to avoid just eating out like the McDonald's, the the
Speaker 1: fast food, the chicken nuggets, all that is trash. Like
Speaker 1: I remember, I haven't had McDonald's in such a long time,
Speaker 1: and two years ago ahead McDonald's and I immediately I
Speaker 1: was in a food coma. I went straight to sleep.
Speaker 1: I was like, that's not normal. They are naturally putting
Speaker 1: things in your foods to make you feel that way,
Speaker 1: but it's addictive if they're fries are like out of control.
Speaker 1: Although there really I don't even like their friends. I
Speaker 1: don't like their fries them. Okay, alright, so and so
Speaker 1: what should we incorporate? What you know, more water number one,
Speaker 1: more greens, dark water. How do you feel like or
Speaker 1: how important is to put like limb. I always see
Speaker 1: like whatever you want to do, you can even put raspberries, blueberries,
Speaker 1: anything to make it cute for you to you know,
Speaker 1: get a little flavor. Yeah, not even to give it flavor,
Speaker 1: but like is it important? Like is lemon? Is lemon
Speaker 1: something that's it's different detoxication? Yeah, yeah, so people do
Speaker 1: that for that, but I just drink it straight. If
Speaker 1: you can tolerate. Some people naturally don't like that it's
Speaker 1: too plain, and so they me too. It's so good,
Speaker 1: you know. I remember when I was in college for what,
Speaker 1: I don't know why, Like I and I used to
Speaker 1: I used to drink juice and soda like Cherry Coke,
Speaker 1: all this stuff all the time in college. And for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, one day I was just like, I'm going
Speaker 1: to stop drinking soda and juice and I'm just going
Speaker 1: to drink water. And I did that, and I literally
Speaker 1: lost like fifteen pounds immediately. That's crazy, right, that's crazy. Yeah, shouldn't.
Speaker 1: And I never looked back. So now it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: I drink water for the most part of it. I
Speaker 1: drink a juice or something. It's like I don't know,
Speaker 1: like I'm just for whatever, you know. Sometimes you ever
Speaker 1: just like I just wanted some juice. Yes, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm like lacking at that time
Speaker 1: like that. Maybe I'm just like all my period or something.
Speaker 1: Maybe again again, being mindful of how your body is reacting, right,
Speaker 1: and when sometimes I like to drop things down, like
Speaker 1: why am I feeling like this? I'm bloated, I haven't
Speaker 1: eaten 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: we 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 doesn't kernel breaks up in your system. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I think moderation. Yeah, I don't like to
Speaker 1: restrict or you know, it's not cold turkey. The whole
Speaker 1: progress over perfection. So eat it sometimes but not too much. Okay,
Speaker 1: just keep that in mind, got it all right? Water, water,
Speaker 1: corporate dark leafy greens, any kale, color greens, spinach, any
Speaker 1: of to cook. Cook the kale, you can definitely. It
Speaker 1: takes out a little bit of the nutritional value aspect
Speaker 1: of it. Raw. I think it's probably better. But if
Speaker 1: you can't, like, I don't like salads, so I really
Speaker 1: just add a little bit of bone broth or chicken
Speaker 1: broth and then that's it. Garlic and then called it.
Speaker 1: You don't like that, what are you talking about? Cooking
Speaker 1: my greens? Saute bone broth? Yes? How is that? It's
Speaker 1: like bone like chicken broth? VEGGI have you heard of
Speaker 1: bone broth? Yeah? I cook my when I cook my kale,
Speaker 1: I cook it in chicken broth, So I mean it's similar. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard the bone broth is a bone from It
Speaker 1: is like the broth from chicken. Yes, okay, okay. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I do put olive oil on it and put it
Speaker 1: in the oven. Yeah, that's good. Good, Yeah, you can
Speaker 1: do that for your kill chips. Yes, asparagus which is
Speaker 1: like my number one go to natural diuretic. Really, I
Speaker 1: have like a treat meal the night before next day,
Speaker 1: I'm eating asparagus. How 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, what
Speaker 1: asparagus do? It's a natural diretic. It's just my shoes
Speaker 1: sort of like flush your system exactly. Actually like that
Speaker 1: you slow, that's that's good. So you ever cheat meal
Speaker 1: if you ate bad the day before, then try to
Speaker 1: get some, but don't give it to your man. Correct, Yes,
Speaker 1: because it makes their stuff. Yeah it doesn't. Yeah. Do
Speaker 1: you not eat asparagus? That's why my kids life changing?
Speaker 1: Life change. Yes, Okay, I'll get something. You should try
Speaker 1: it now, okay. And I like to cook mine and
Speaker 1: you tell me this, Okay, I'll put the oven on
Speaker 1: like four hundreds. It's like to roast um, yeah, drizzlelement.
Speaker 1: I'll have little Himalayan or coachy salt crack bla 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. So is that good? That's perfect perfection.
Speaker 1: I like mine steamed. 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. And I know when I
Speaker 1: was working out with Anna, Anna would actually cook food
Speaker 1: from Oh my god, I forgot about that and would
Speaker 1: bring them to the gym and we put in her
Speaker 1: back and it was like this, hell, it was all
Speaker 1: that healthy, bland stuff, and I was like, but how
Speaker 1: did you feel? I know she hated it, didn't you?
Speaker 1: Did you eat it? I hated it? I mean I
Speaker 1: ate it, but I hated it. But how did you
Speaker 1: feel during did you feel good or the same? I'm
Speaker 1: 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, Fruit's good, grapefruit again,
Speaker 1: natural diuretic. Any type of fruit is better than anything
Speaker 1: sweet right again, progress over perfection. And then last one.
Speaker 1: I would just say moving, work, working out, get sweat.
Speaker 1: I don't care what you have to. Get up off
