To often people are
trapped in the cycle
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
between disease and medication,
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.53
then back to
disease and more medication
00:00:04.57\00:00:06.97
not realizing they
can break the cycle
00:00:07.00\00:00:09.37
by changing their lifestyle.

00:00:13.78\00:00:16.08
Hello, I'm Dick
Nunez, exercise physiologist.
00:00:37.77\00:00:40.40
And I'm Jay Sutliffe,
00:00:40.44\00:00:41.77
professor and
registered dietician.
00:00:41.80\00:00:43.24
Dick, as we think about
00:00:43.27\00:00:45.04
all the awareness
campaigns going on,
00:00:45.07\00:00:46.78
we see that we want to
take people from awareness
00:00:46.81\00:00:49.41
to take some action.
00:00:49.44\00:00:51.15
We want to take them
from disease to dynamic living
00:00:51.18\00:00:54.25
and from fear to free dom.
00:00:54.28\00:00:55.82
But as we prepare this
week to start a new lifestyle,
00:00:55.85\00:00:59.29
there're some components
that we need to teach people
00:00:59.32\00:01:01.62
that help them
optimize for life.
00:01:01.66\00:01:04.13
So really when
we look at it, Dick,
00:01:04.16\00:01:05.79
let's talk about the main things
00:01:05.83\00:01:07.53
that people need to have in mind
00:01:07.56\00:01:09.76
as they prepare to
change their lifestyle.
00:01:09.80\00:01:11.50
The first thing is what
about mental preparation?
00:01:11.53\00:01:14.10
Wow, that's so huge today
00:01:14.14\00:01:15.60
because somebody's
got to have an open mind.
00:01:15.64\00:01:18.21
You hear the old saying,
00:01:18.24\00:01:19.57
parachute only
works when it's open.
00:01:19.61\00:01:20.98
People's minds
have got to be open
00:01:21.01\00:01:23.24
and they got to be
willing to make some changes
00:01:23.28\00:01:25.18
and forget about what
they think they already know,
00:01:25.21\00:01:27.62
because how often we
talk to people and they go,
00:01:27.65\00:01:29.38
I already know how to eat.
00:01:29.42\00:01:30.75
I already know what
to do. That's right.
00:01:30.79\00:01:32.35
Why aren't you doing it?
00:01:32.39\00:01:33.72
In reality they
don't know what to eat,
00:01:33.76\00:01:35.32
and they don't know what to do,
00:01:35.36\00:01:36.69
they need somebody to
help them to get started.
00:01:36.73\00:01:38.06
That's right, and so mentally
what about some of the blocks,
00:01:38.09\00:01:40.50
sometimes people will
start out for a lifestyle change
00:01:40.53\00:01:44.07
and then they will slip
up and they will fall back
00:01:44.10\00:01:47.04
and they will get
back into the old rut.
00:01:47.07\00:01:48.67
So how about
getting that new mindset
00:01:48.70\00:01:50.31
and changing their mind
00:01:50.34\00:01:51.97
and saying this
is a new beginning,
00:01:52.01\00:01:53.41
can we do that
start over and over again?
00:01:53.44\00:01:55.64
Absolutely, you get
in a trap all the time
00:01:55.68\00:01:57.85
like the proverbial.
00:01:57.88\00:01:59.21
Somebody has a cookie,
00:01:59.25\00:02:00.58
they go, oh, I
shouldn't have that cookie.
00:02:00.62\00:02:01.95
Will have another one. Yeah.
00:02:01.98\00:02:03.32
Oh, I had two
so I'll have three.
00:02:03.35\00:02:04.69
That's right.
00:02:04.72\00:02:06.05
You know, and
they just interpolating
00:02:06.09\00:02:07.42
a whole plate of cookies
00:02:07.46\00:02:08.79
when they just had one and
stop they're probably okay.
00:02:08.82\00:02:10.16
And when we talk
about all the time
00:02:10.19\00:02:11.53
is when somebody's
making a lifestyle change
00:02:11.56\00:02:12.99
we're gonna fall,
00:02:13.03\00:02:14.36
even in our spiritual
walk, we're gonna fall.
00:02:14.40\00:02:16.80
And if we just give
up, well, where are we?
00:02:16.83\00:02:19.43
Just stuck in the mud.
00:02:19.47\00:02:20.80
So as soon as we
fill ourselves slip back,
00:02:20.84\00:02:22.97
we got to get back up
and go back forward again,
00:02:23.00\00:02:25.07
realizing it
isn't the little trips
00:02:25.11\00:02:27.24
that make us go down.
00:02:27.28\00:02:28.61
That's right.
00:02:28.64\00:02:29.98
It's staying down
that keeps us down.
00:02:30.01\00:02:31.61
And so the mental
mindset getting that new mindset
00:02:31.65\00:02:34.22
and then coupling that
with the physical preparation.
00:02:34.25\00:02:37.99
Lot of times we'll talk
about cholesterol levels
00:02:38.02\00:02:41.66
or blood pressures and
we'll just focus on that
00:02:41.69\00:02:43.93
and then we forget
about the other components
00:02:43.96\00:02:45.83
but it's important but we also
to bring in with the mental,
00:02:45.86\00:02:49.23
it's kind of like
this plug in right here,
00:02:49.26\00:02:50.60
the mental, physical, spiritual,
00:02:50.63\00:02:52.33
the more prongs
you plug into the wall,
00:02:52.37\00:02:54.54
the more
successful you're gonna be,
00:02:54.57\00:02:55.90
'cause how many
people have we seen
00:02:55.94\00:02:57.41
who will start a
lifestyle program
00:02:57.44\00:02:59.04
have great results and
then relapse and fall back.
00:02:59.07\00:03:01.28
Right.
00:03:01.31\00:03:02.64
So what about
physical preparation?
00:03:02.68\00:03:04.01
You know we talk about mental,
00:03:04.05\00:03:05.61
what about preparing physically
now to make a lifestyle change?
00:03:05.65\00:03:09.48
As far as what to
get and so and so forth.
00:03:09.52\00:03:11.59
Yeah, think about, think
about what you would have to do
00:03:11.62\00:03:13.96
and what are some of the things
00:03:13.99\00:03:15.32
we have to get
our kitchens ready...
00:03:15.36\00:03:16.86
Exactly. Our
pantries, what about how...
00:03:16.89\00:03:18.39
Think about in this country
00:03:18.43\00:03:19.76
we're never more than
about 10 feet from food.
00:03:19.79\00:03:22.06
We have them in our purses,
we have them in the glove box,
00:03:22.10\00:03:24.33
we have them stashed away,
00:03:24.37\00:03:25.73
we're going on a half hour walk,
00:03:25.77\00:03:27.10
oh, I better take
some food with me,
00:03:27.14\00:03:28.47
things about that.
00:03:28.50\00:03:29.84
How about preparing
and having the food around?
00:03:29.87\00:03:31.71
We'll talk
about that in another,
00:03:31.74\00:03:33.07
you know,
segment of this program
00:03:33.11\00:03:34.74
about how to prepare
your kitchen, your pantry.
00:03:34.78\00:03:36.78
What about physically?
00:03:36.81\00:03:38.25
Well, one of the
things I find really important
00:03:38.28\00:03:39.98
is to have comfortable shoes.
00:03:40.02\00:03:41.35
Okay.
00:03:41.38\00:03:42.72
That's so vital because
if you don't have good shoes,
00:03:42.75\00:03:44.92
you can cause
yourself a lot of problems.
00:03:44.95\00:03:46.76
Lot of times people
start walking or jogging,
00:03:46.79\00:03:48.96
whatever, I know you run a lot.
00:03:48.99\00:03:50.93
Are you very
aware of your footwear,
00:03:50.96\00:03:52.29
does you do that?
00:03:52.33\00:03:53.66
You have to be because we don't,
00:03:53.70\00:03:55.03
you can cause a lot of problems.
00:03:55.06\00:03:56.40
Also just comfortable clothing,
00:03:56.43\00:03:57.97
some shirts that easily move,
00:03:58.00\00:04:00.10
your pants as you can
squat down and whatever,
00:04:00.14\00:04:02.04
but lot of times
I have people come
00:04:02.07\00:04:03.51
into our business ad
Fit-in-15, and they say,
00:04:03.54\00:04:06.34
"Well, I wasn't
prepared to workout."
00:04:06.37\00:04:07.91
And I look at them go,
00:04:07.94\00:04:09.28
you're good enough, let's do it.
00:04:09.31\00:04:10.65
But as they
continue into the workout
00:04:10.68\00:04:12.08
they'll find that their clothing
00:04:12.11\00:04:13.98
that they like to get is
very comfortable for them,
00:04:14.02\00:04:16.58
modest attire that helps
them to move comfortably,
00:04:16.62\00:04:19.09
feel good, let them
perspire, and so and so forth.
00:04:19.12\00:04:21.26
Remember the old days
00:04:21.29\00:04:22.62
when people used
to put on rubber suit
00:04:22.66\00:04:24.06
because they want
to lose more weight,
00:04:24.09\00:04:25.86
terrible thing to do.
00:04:25.89\00:04:27.50
Okay, so we've
got the mental mindset
00:04:27.53\00:04:30.80
that we're changing
and looking at a new start
00:04:30.83\00:04:33.17
and we usually
do that in January,
00:04:33.20\00:04:35.30
okay, but we
could do it anytime.
00:04:35.34\00:04:36.67
Oh, yes.
00:04:36.71\00:04:38.04
Okay, then we have
the physical preparation
00:04:38.07\00:04:39.94
or physical environment,
maybe buying a gym membership,
00:04:39.97\00:04:43.71
getting out and doing that
or do what we have at home,
00:04:43.75\00:04:46.15
walking around the block,
walking pass the mail box,
00:04:46.18\00:04:49.35
rather just go into
the mail box and back.
00:04:49.38\00:04:51.12
And the other
thing we talk about,
00:04:51.15\00:04:52.65
lot of people
segregate and push out
00:04:52.69\00:04:54.99
the different
components and they think
00:04:55.02\00:04:57.39
well, I'm a physical
being, and they figure,
00:04:57.43\00:04:59.59
you know, the
spiritual component,
00:04:59.63\00:05:01.30
what about a spiritual component
00:05:01.33\00:05:03.06
for a lifestyle change,
00:05:03.10\00:05:04.47
think about that how some people
00:05:04.50\00:05:05.83
are carrying
guilt and maybe regret,
00:05:05.87\00:05:07.94
and those types of things.
00:05:07.97\00:05:09.30
How about that we spiritually,
00:05:09.34\00:05:10.77
the spiritual
component bringing that
00:05:10.81\00:05:12.14
into a total lifestyle makeover?
00:05:12.17\00:05:14.61
Well, let's look
at the 12 step program
00:05:14.64\00:05:16.34
which has been so
successful of helping people
00:05:16.38\00:05:18.98
get off of alcohol.
00:05:19.01\00:05:20.35
The first step they put in there
00:05:20.38\00:05:21.72
is there is a higher power.
00:05:21.75\00:05:23.08
That's right.
00:05:23.12\00:05:24.45
And we find that
those of us who have
00:05:24.49\00:05:26.12
a strong spiritual walk,
00:05:26.15\00:05:27.79
we have an inner
strength that we can go for,
00:05:27.82\00:05:30.23
because we
realize we're not our own,
00:05:30.26\00:05:32.36
we're bought with a prize,
00:05:32.39\00:05:33.73
that prize is the
blood of Jesus Christ.
00:05:33.76\00:05:35.63
And without that, what are we?
00:05:35.66\00:05:38.53
We also realize that as
people, we've all sinned
00:05:38.57\00:05:41.24
and fallen short of God's glory.
00:05:41.27\00:05:42.60
All of us are in the same place
00:05:42.64\00:05:44.61
and so each one of us
has got to move forward
00:05:44.64\00:05:47.48
and not worry about the past,
00:05:47.51\00:05:49.41
but only think about the future,
00:05:49.44\00:05:51.11
because as we look forward
00:05:51.15\00:05:52.98
forget about
what's going on behind us,
00:05:53.01\00:05:54.92
that's where we start
making the great strives
00:05:54.95\00:05:56.28
and great improvements.
00:05:56.32\00:05:57.65
And here is the beauty
of changing lifestyle, Jay,
00:05:57.69\00:05:59.35
and I know you know
this because you feel it.
00:05:59.39\00:06:01.19
You get to wear the
results. That's right.
00:06:01.22\00:06:03.83
I mean you could be
350, 400 pounds even
00:06:03.86\00:06:06.93
but every ten pounds you lose,
00:06:06.96\00:06:09.30
people are saying,
"Wow, you look better,
00:06:09.33\00:06:11.47
you're losing weight."
00:06:11.50\00:06:12.83
You can see in their
face, they can see in their step
00:06:12.87\00:06:15.10
and environments and even though
00:06:15.14\00:06:16.60
they may want to
lose 150 or 200 pounds
00:06:16.64\00:06:19.04
each step of the journey
they start feeling better
00:06:19.07\00:06:21.31
and better and
better, healthier, happier.
00:06:21.34\00:06:23.88
It doesn't matter that they
still have 100 pounds to lose,
00:06:23.91\00:06:26.45
it's where they're
going, where they were,
00:06:26.48\00:06:28.02
and where they're right now.
00:06:28.05\00:06:29.38
And now, the interesting
thing too is all of these things
00:06:29.42\00:06:31.35
need to be in balance.
00:06:31.39\00:06:32.72
Exactly.
00:06:32.75\00:06:34.09
When we see super
spiritual people who pray a lot,
00:06:34.12\00:06:35.59
who will spend a lot
of time in Bible study
00:06:35.62\00:06:37.76
and then neglect their
diet or their physical activity.
00:06:37.79\00:06:40.80
And then we'll see other people
on another end of the spectrum,
00:06:40.83\00:06:43.03
who will look at
physical activity,
00:06:43.06\00:06:45.13
have a perfect diet
and disregard their faith.
00:06:45.17\00:06:47.27
Right.
00:06:47.30\00:06:48.64
So really we call this the
F factor, the faith factor,
00:06:48.67\00:06:50.91
you bring that
component in to this whole thing
00:06:50.94\00:06:53.17
and you mention
the 12 step program.
00:06:53.21\00:06:54.88
I mean whatever it
does to get you going,
00:06:54.91\00:06:58.25
whatever component that is,
00:06:58.28\00:06:59.75
so we're really
bringing that faith factor
00:06:59.78\00:07:01.38
and it's really about,
00:07:01.42\00:07:02.75
how about the will of our being?
00:07:02.78\00:07:05.05
We think about these different
faculties that control us.
00:07:05.09\00:07:07.92
We go for what tastes good
00:07:07.96\00:07:09.46
and what looks
good and those things,
00:07:09.49\00:07:11.33
those are it
says lower faculties,
00:07:11.36\00:07:13.86
that we have in our
being and they are not bad
00:07:13.90\00:07:16.53
in and of themselves,
but we have this mind
00:07:16.56\00:07:19.30
that's really we're
a higher created being
00:07:19.33\00:07:21.97
than any other
creation in the world, okay.
00:07:22.00\00:07:24.51
And so when we look at
that, we have this mind
00:07:24.54\00:07:27.48
and inside us we have a will.
00:07:27.51\00:07:29.54
And when we combine our
will with the will of God,
00:07:29.58\00:07:32.78
He helps us overcome our habits.
00:07:32.81\00:07:35.35
And so when we
bring in the mental,
00:07:35.38\00:07:37.05
we bring in the physical
00:07:37.09\00:07:38.45
and now we bring
in the spiritual,
00:07:38.49\00:07:40.19
we put more prongs
in that plug, okay,
00:07:40.22\00:07:43.06
and we have more
power in our lives.
00:07:43.09\00:07:45.39
Not only that, but when you
do, you put that together...
00:07:45.43\00:07:48.50
Is active, uh, it doesn't work.
00:07:48.53\00:07:49.86
But anyhow, let's
put that prong in,
00:07:49.90\00:07:51.47
God is the glue... That's right.
00:07:51.50\00:07:54.17
That holds that place
and gives us the strength
00:07:54.20\00:07:56.20
so that doesn't get disconnected
00:07:56.24\00:07:57.57
from the power source.
00:07:57.61\00:07:58.94
That's right.
00:07:58.97\00:08:00.31
Because that power
source, you know, I learned,
00:08:00.34\00:08:01.68
a long time ago
00:08:01.71\00:08:03.04
and we were both
into body building
00:08:03.08\00:08:04.71
and sports and so forth
00:08:04.75\00:08:06.25
and back then it was
all for personal glory.
00:08:06.28\00:08:08.92
That's right.
00:08:08.95\00:08:10.29
And so if we had a bad workout
we're like, what wrong with me?
00:08:10.32\00:08:12.82
I'm not having good workout,
so am I getting good gains.
00:08:12.85\00:08:15.39
And when I finally
realized it wasn't about me,
00:08:15.42\00:08:18.39
it was about God, and
I'm training for His glory.
00:08:18.43\00:08:21.66
And then if I
didn't have a good workout,
00:08:21.70\00:08:23.03
it didn't matter
because it isn't me
00:08:23.06\00:08:24.77
that I'm training
for, I'm training for God.
00:08:24.80\00:08:26.90
And when you do
it that way, wow,
00:08:26.94\00:08:29.37
it makes all the
difference in the world
00:08:29.40\00:08:30.74
because each time
you go and then workout
00:08:30.77\00:08:32.71
you're not thinking about
what you're gonna accomplish.
00:08:32.74\00:08:34.61
Am I gonna build
my triceps bigger
00:08:34.64\00:08:36.24
like I'm gonna put
on cannonball deltoids.
00:08:36.28\00:08:37.71
Yes, that's right.
00:08:37.75\00:08:39.08
What I'm
thinking about is, Father,
00:08:39.11\00:08:40.45
I'm going into
train for Your glory,
00:08:40.48\00:08:41.82
that I can go on
00:08:41.85\00:08:43.18
and be a living
walking testimony
00:08:43.22\00:08:44.55
about healthful living.
00:08:44.59\00:08:46.12
And what you can do, no
matter what age you are,
00:08:46.15\00:08:47.99
or whether you're
having a vegetarian diet
00:08:48.02\00:08:49.86
because all
people think vegetarians,
00:08:49.89\00:08:51.29
I'm likely going to be scorning,
00:08:51.33\00:08:52.66
well, I've been eating a
vegan diet for almost 35 years.
00:08:52.69\00:08:55.06
That's right. So.
00:08:55.10\00:08:56.56
That's right, so when we put
these components back together,
00:08:56.60\00:08:58.90
we're gonna sense
being restored back
00:08:58.93\00:09:00.87
into what God intended
for us in the beginning.
00:09:00.90\00:09:03.20
Right.
00:09:03.24\00:09:04.57
So now we've
talked about the mental,
00:09:04.61\00:09:06.14
we've talked about the physical,
00:09:06.17\00:09:08.21
we've talked
about the spiritual.
00:09:08.24\00:09:09.61
Now let's talk
about the social element
00:09:09.64\00:09:11.71
of a new lifestyle.
00:09:11.75\00:09:13.08
How many people do we
know that make sabotage
00:09:13.11\00:09:16.32
when we want to
change something.
00:09:16.35\00:09:18.15
And in the studies after
studies that research study
00:09:18.19\00:09:20.22
show that who you hangout
with not only influences you
00:09:20.26\00:09:23.56
for bad but can
influence you for good.
00:09:23.59\00:09:25.63
So let's talk a
little bit about having
00:09:25.66\00:09:27.23
a circle of friends
or people around you
00:09:27.26\00:09:29.13
or a support system
that can help people
00:09:29.16\00:09:32.10
in their new lifestyle
00:09:32.13\00:09:34.24
or continuing on a
track they're already on.
00:09:34.27\00:09:36.47
So let's just talk
about that little bit.
00:09:36.50\00:09:37.87
Well, in personal
training you learn very quickly
00:09:37.91\00:09:39.61
that you have your energy
givers and your energy takers.
00:09:39.64\00:09:42.04
Okay.
00:09:42.08\00:09:43.41
And you can't get total balance
00:09:43.45\00:09:44.78
with the energy takers
because that's where you are.
00:09:44.81\00:09:47.22
You got to have some
energy givers in there too.
00:09:47.25\00:09:49.18
And again, let's go
back to the 12 step program
00:09:49.22\00:09:51.29
not to applaud there so
much but one of the things
00:09:51.32\00:09:54.49
they say is lot of
times you'll find new friends
00:09:54.52\00:09:57.89
because when you make a
positive lifestyle change,
00:09:57.93\00:10:00.83
a lot of times people
are uncomfortable around you,
00:10:00.86\00:10:03.60
lot of people and you've
probably heard this before,
00:10:03.63\00:10:05.73
we love to have
you over for dinner.
00:10:05.77\00:10:07.60
We don't know what
to fix. That's right.
00:10:07.64\00:10:09.24
Or they're worried about
having you come to a potluck
00:10:09.27\00:10:12.01
because they're
wondering if you're watching
00:10:12.04\00:10:13.91
and analyzing of
course for you as a dietician
00:10:13.94\00:10:16.68
you'll have
yourself pocket calculator
00:10:16.71\00:10:18.81
where you tell
everybody what they are having
00:10:18.85\00:10:20.82
as far as their carbohydrates,
fats, and proteins,
00:10:20.85\00:10:23.49
and of course
we're not doing that
00:10:23.52\00:10:24.85
because being a
true Christian means
00:10:24.89\00:10:26.79
you're not judgmental
00:10:26.82\00:10:28.16
and you're there to
encourage and help people,
00:10:28.19\00:10:29.76
not to criticize
them along the way.
00:10:29.79\00:10:31.36
That's exactly why we
want to do this program
00:10:31.39\00:10:33.33
because we want to help
people to get to a new lifestyle
00:10:33.36\00:10:36.63
and they have to
be free to succeed.
00:10:36.67\00:10:38.60
That's right, and so
we're putting together
00:10:38.63\00:10:40.87
the components
that we've both seen.
00:10:40.90\00:10:43.37
Some people will put a
couple of components together,
00:10:43.41\00:10:45.54
some will put three
of them or four of them,
00:10:45.57\00:10:47.31
but we always find the people
00:10:47.34\00:10:48.68
that are more
successful in making a change
00:10:48.71\00:10:50.65
but all of the
components in there together.
00:10:50.68\00:10:53.25
And so we're about
really helping people
00:10:53.28\00:10:55.68
make these changes,
coaching you along the way,
00:10:55.72\00:10:58.35
providing online
support through materials
00:10:58.39\00:11:01.26
and manuals, and
workbooks to bring you along.
00:11:01.29\00:11:03.63
So as we look at these aspects
00:11:03.66\00:11:06.09
that is one more
important than the other,
00:11:06.13\00:11:07.93
the mental, the
physical, the spiritual, social.
00:11:07.96\00:11:10.87
Well, I feel like we
start with the spiritual.
00:11:10.90\00:11:12.33
Okay. I mean
that is the key to me.
00:11:12.37\00:11:15.00
But when you start looking at
00:11:15.04\00:11:16.77
the physical and
the rest of that,
00:11:16.81\00:11:18.57
I mean it's all
kind of falls within that
00:11:18.61\00:11:20.61
and they're all important.
00:11:20.64\00:11:21.98
It's like the various
components of fitness.
00:11:22.01\00:11:23.35
You know, you
have the stretching,
00:11:23.38\00:11:24.71
you have
flexibility of strength,
00:11:24.75\00:11:26.21
they're all important.
00:11:26.25\00:11:27.58
I have trouble taking
one and just making it
00:11:27.62\00:11:29.15
more important but
the spiritual that's it,
00:11:29.18\00:11:32.19
and that's where
so many lose it...
00:11:32.22\00:11:34.36
Okay. Is in that department.
00:11:34.39\00:11:36.19
And so we get into these debates
00:11:36.22\00:11:37.56
about whether is it exercise,
00:11:37.59\00:11:39.89
is it diet, all
these different things,
00:11:39.93\00:11:41.76
it's really all of
them working together
00:11:41.80\00:11:43.63
and getting really
the strength from God
00:11:43.67\00:11:46.43
to successfully
make this transition.
00:11:46.47\00:11:49.67
So now why don't
we break to a part
00:11:49.70\00:11:51.94
where Chloe is
helping people set up...
00:11:51.97\00:11:53.58
Who is Chloe? Chloe is my wife.
00:11:53.61\00:11:55.04
Okay.
00:11:55.08\00:11:56.41
She and I've had a
couple of restaurants together.
00:11:56.44\00:11:58.61
Right.
00:11:58.65\00:11:59.98
And bakeries, health food stores
00:12:00.02\00:12:01.35
and what we've done
is we've come up with
00:12:01.38\00:12:02.75
a way to set up
your own kitchen.
00:12:02.78\00:12:04.55
Okay.
00:12:04.59\00:12:05.92
And how to set up your
pantry, your refrigerator,
00:12:05.95\00:12:08.09
your freezer, how to stock that
00:12:08.12\00:12:09.96
'cause if you don't
have the foods on hand,
00:12:09.99\00:12:11.69
how can you
change your lifestyle?
00:12:11.73\00:12:13.06
Exactly.
00:12:13.09\00:12:14.43
Okay, and now it's all or none,
00:12:14.46\00:12:15.80
but really what we want
to do is get people rolling
00:12:15.83\00:12:17.70
and started on this journey,
00:12:17.73\00:12:19.63
so Chloe is gonna
take us to a segment
00:12:19.67\00:12:21.34
on how we can
prepare our kitchens,
00:12:21.37\00:12:23.10
and our pantries
to optimize for life.
00:12:23.14\00:12:25.47
Awesome.
00:12:25.51\00:12:27.18
Welcome to my kitchen.
00:12:27.21\00:12:28.54
Today, I want to help you
position yourself for success.
00:12:28.58\00:12:32.45
So I want to show
you some of the items
00:12:32.48\00:12:34.15
that we like to keep on stock
00:12:34.18\00:12:36.45
as we reprogram our taste buds
00:12:36.48\00:12:38.72
and start this journey together.
00:12:38.75\00:12:40.42
All right,
00:12:40.46\00:12:41.79
so I like to always have
some whole grains on stock.
00:12:41.82\00:12:46.56
The whole flour,
00:12:46.59\00:12:48.50
whole wheat flour
like long cooking oats.
00:12:48.53\00:12:51.77
And if you want to
do gluten free things,
00:12:51.80\00:12:53.90
always have some
brown rice flour on hand.
00:12:53.94\00:12:56.94
I also like to have
granola in the cupboard,
00:12:56.97\00:12:59.87
some lentils,
beans, rice, quinoa.
00:12:59.91\00:13:03.68
Quinoa is such a
great replacement for rice
00:13:03.71\00:13:06.48
or anything because
it's so high in protein.
00:13:06.51\00:13:08.88
Have some can goods
00:13:08.92\00:13:10.39
because sometimes we're
in a hurry in our lifestyle.
00:13:10.42\00:13:12.89
We need things that
are fast and ready to go.
00:13:12.92\00:13:15.46
In my freezer I like to
have a variety of frozen items.
00:13:15.49\00:13:20.20
They are frozen
right at the field
00:13:20.23\00:13:22.90
where they are harvested
00:13:22.93\00:13:24.27
so that you don't
have to let them ripen
00:13:24.30\00:13:27.37
once they get into your house.
00:13:27.40\00:13:29.34
Also tomatoes and
healthy fats like avocadoes.
00:13:29.37\00:13:33.88
This is something different
that we've added into our diet
00:13:33.91\00:13:36.44
in a last few
years, it's called Jicama,
00:13:36.48\00:13:38.78
and it's
actually a Mexican potato
00:13:38.81\00:13:42.28
and it goes
really well in salads,
00:13:42.32\00:13:44.25
it can be eaten fresh.
00:13:44.29\00:13:45.89
You don't have
to cook it at all.
00:13:45.92\00:13:47.56
We also keep on
hand a lot of fruits
00:13:47.59\00:13:50.33
for our breakfast meal.
00:13:50.36\00:13:52.09
We like to start
our day with fruits,
00:13:52.13\00:13:53.73
it's a cleansing item.
00:13:53.76\00:13:55.20
And so we start by
cleansing with fresh fruits.
00:13:55.23\00:13:58.80
Moving on positioning
yourself for success.
00:13:58.83\00:14:01.84
I want to show you some of
the basic kitchen appliances
00:14:01.87\00:14:04.51
that you will need or some
more advanced ones as well.
00:14:04.54\00:14:08.41
of course every
kitchen needs some bowls,
00:14:08.44\00:14:10.98
different sizes and shapes,
00:14:11.01\00:14:13.21
measuring cups are
essential and measuring spoons.
00:14:13.25\00:14:15.95
I think pots and pans,
good knives and other utensils.
00:14:15.98\00:14:20.96
One of the really
important things in the kitchen
00:14:20.99\00:14:23.02
is a good blender.
00:14:23.06\00:14:24.63
This one just
happens to be Ninja
00:14:24.66\00:14:26.53
and we were able
to get this whole set
00:14:26.56\00:14:28.86
in a package with the bullet,
00:14:28.90\00:14:31.33
the food processor,
and the blender top itself,
00:14:31.37\00:14:34.94
and so that's really
been helpful in our kitchen.
00:14:34.97\00:14:37.77
If you want to
save money in a long run
00:14:37.81\00:14:39.87
by not having to purchase
canned beans all the time,
00:14:39.91\00:14:42.84
you can purchase one of these
nice electric pressure cookers,
00:14:42.88\00:14:47.32
but of course there
is also the old style
00:14:47.35\00:14:49.95
which I still like
to use my old style,
00:14:49.98\00:14:52.39
and this for making
salads and other items
00:14:52.42\00:14:55.36
has been a real gift to me
00:14:55.39\00:14:57.83
and was actually given
to me by sister-in-law.
00:14:57.86\00:15:00.16
It's the Presto Salad Shooter.
00:15:00.20\00:15:02.56
One more item
that is really helpful
00:15:02.60\00:15:04.77
in a successful kitchen is
having a menu for your week
00:15:04.80\00:15:07.87
so that when you
do your shopping,
00:15:07.90\00:15:09.60
you can have
everything on your list
00:15:09.64\00:15:11.51
that you'll need
throughout the week
00:15:11.54\00:15:13.51
to cook up the items that
you want to try for that week.
00:15:13.54\00:15:16.95
And so once again this is
a basic kitchen setup for you
00:15:16.98\00:15:21.18
and then more advanced
as you learn more recipes
00:15:21.22\00:15:24.75
and move on in this
procession of it success.
00:15:24.79\00:15:29.66
Thank you, Chloe,
that was great advice
00:15:29.69\00:15:31.46
to help and get us started.
00:15:31.49\00:15:32.99
Now we're gonna go
into our fitness component
00:15:33.03\00:15:34.83
and helping me out
would be my wife Lisa,
00:15:34.86\00:15:37.70
who is a
certified fitness therapist.
00:15:37.73\00:15:40.14
And we're gonna go over one
of the most important exercises
00:15:40.17\00:15:42.37
you can do and that's squats.
00:15:42.40\00:15:44.64
It you lose ability to
squat, you're in big trouble,
00:15:44.67\00:15:47.51
and squats bring in
so many different muscles
00:15:47.54\00:15:49.68
but most people do them wrong.
00:15:49.71\00:15:51.61
So we're gonna talk
about how to do them right.
00:15:51.65\00:15:53.28
So, Lisa, go ahead and
give us a little demonstration.
00:15:53.31\00:15:55.65
Okay, a lot of
people won't do squats
00:15:55.68\00:15:58.35
because they say
they have bad knees.
00:15:58.39\00:16:01.59
You can make your knees worst
by doing squats improperly.
00:16:01.62\00:16:05.06
So we want to make
sure and do them properly.
00:16:05.09\00:16:08.26
Now if you've not done squats
00:16:08.30\00:16:09.76
or you're weak in
getting in and out of a chair,
00:16:09.80\00:16:11.67
you can start
with a higher chair
00:16:11.70\00:16:14.17
and just the key is to
move your bottom backwards,
00:16:14.20\00:16:18.27
you can bend
forward at the waist,
00:16:18.31\00:16:19.64
but you want to
keep your shoulders back.
00:16:19.67\00:16:21.41
So it should look
something like this.
00:16:21.44\00:16:23.18
So when you look down
00:16:23.21\00:16:24.55
your knees shouldn't
be jutting over your toes.
00:16:24.58\00:16:27.65
And if you've
not done them before,
00:16:27.68\00:16:29.65
if you're just basically
beginning just have a chair
00:16:29.68\00:16:33.89
and just barely touch it
and use it as a guideline
00:16:33.92\00:16:35.72
and just go down
and up like this.
00:16:35.76\00:16:39.06
And if you're still
weak over your knees,
00:16:39.09\00:16:41.96
you can take and put your feet
in a plie position like this,
00:16:42.00\00:16:45.73
your weight is in your heels,
00:16:45.77\00:16:47.80
and you can move your
knees out towards your toe
00:16:47.84\00:16:50.97
and do squats like this
until you become strong enough
00:16:51.01\00:16:53.94
to take the more forward stance.
00:16:53.98\00:16:56.98
Now, Lisa, why don't they
want to sit down in the chair?
00:16:57.01\00:17:00.62
I don't know why?
00:17:00.65\00:17:03.15
Well, you want to
keep your legs engaged,
00:17:03.18\00:17:07.46
you don't want to
sit down and rock back
00:17:07.49\00:17:09.82
for your spine but
your basic premises
00:17:09.86\00:17:14.00
is to keep the
strength in the legs
00:17:14.03\00:17:15.73
'cause eventually you don't
want to have a chair there,
00:17:15.76\00:17:18.23
and you want to go
down and be able to hold
00:17:18.27\00:17:20.40
and go up and down, and
go to a 90 and sit back.
00:17:20.44\00:17:25.34
Okay, and this
exercise transforms lives,
00:17:25.37\00:17:27.71
it really does.
00:17:27.74\00:17:29.08
Thank you, Lisa. That was great.
00:17:29.11\00:17:30.91
Now we're beginning
back to talking with Jay,
00:17:30.95\00:17:34.42
about how to finish talking
about how we're gonna put this
00:17:34.45\00:17:37.85
new lifestyle
change into action.
00:17:37.89\00:17:39.79
Well, Dick, as you know
people have a hard times
00:17:39.82\00:17:42.92
sticking with things sometimes
they get on, they fall off,
00:17:42.96\00:17:45.89
and we're also giving them
00:17:45.93\00:17:47.26
a lot of new
information possibly here,
00:17:47.30\00:17:49.10
or it's overwhelming.
00:17:49.13\00:17:50.57
So let's piece it
together a little bit,
00:17:50.60\00:17:52.60
and we're gonna talk a
little bit about pitfalls,
00:17:52.63\00:17:54.44
so maybe we
should start with that.
00:17:54.47\00:17:55.80
Let's start with, what
are some of the pitfalls
00:17:55.84\00:17:57.17
people get into when they
start a new lifestyle change,
00:17:57.21\00:17:59.91
but what about
this quick fix programs
00:17:59.94\00:18:01.61
that we're seeing on
may be on TV, or magazines,
00:18:01.64\00:18:04.31
talk about the latest one?
00:18:04.35\00:18:05.95
Well, that's a big problem,
Jay, because people spend years
00:18:05.98\00:18:08.82
putting in all
these excess body fat
00:18:08.85\00:18:10.95
but for some reason they think
00:18:10.99\00:18:12.32
they should be able to
take it off in a month.
00:18:12.35\00:18:13.69
That's right.
00:18:13.72\00:18:15.06
And it just
doesn't work that way.
00:18:15.09\00:18:16.42
One of the programs out there
00:18:16.46\00:18:17.79
that so many people fall prey to
00:18:17.83\00:18:19.73
is getting into a
Ketoacidosis which is Ketosis.
00:18:19.76\00:18:23.16
Basically that's done
with a high protein diet
00:18:23.20\00:18:25.70
that gets the body
metabolizing fats incompletely
00:18:25.73\00:18:29.24
so they release ketone bodies.
00:18:29.27\00:18:31.27
Now ketones are
burned very nicely
00:18:31.31\00:18:33.68
and your heart doesn't
do well for your brain.
00:18:33.71\00:18:35.91
That's right.
00:18:35.94\00:18:37.28
So that causes a lot of problem.
00:18:37.31\00:18:38.65
And then what
happens as these people
00:18:38.68\00:18:40.48
will start losing weight
00:18:40.52\00:18:41.98
and they'll say, "I just
lost 20 pounds in a month."
00:18:42.02\00:18:45.42
And the question I always have,
00:18:45.45\00:18:47.02
well, you've lost
20 pounds of what?
00:18:47.06\00:18:48.82
Because you and I both
know that there's 3500 calories
00:18:48.86\00:18:51.89
to one pound of fat.
00:18:51.93\00:18:53.56
So if somebody
is gonna metabolize
00:18:53.60\00:18:55.76
that many pounds of fat,
00:18:55.80\00:18:58.17
they're gonna have to
metabolize 70,000 calories
00:18:58.20\00:19:01.07
worth of fatty acids in a month,
00:19:01.10\00:19:02.80
and most likely
it's not gonna happen,
00:19:02.84\00:19:04.67
because so many of these
diets are encouraging people
00:19:04.71\00:19:07.71
to workout, may be some cardio
00:19:07.74\00:19:09.68
but sooner they're not lifting
00:19:09.71\00:19:11.05
because it's
counterproductive to weight loss
00:19:11.08\00:19:12.98
because it's
encouraging the body
00:19:13.01\00:19:14.38
to hold on to their muscles,
00:19:14.42\00:19:15.75
so what these people are
losing is a lot of water weight,
00:19:15.78\00:19:19.95
lean muscle mass,
vital organ tissue,
00:19:19.99\00:19:22.99
and the harsh reality
00:19:23.02\00:19:24.36
is now they're gonna try
to put that weight back on,
00:19:24.39\00:19:27.00
they're gonna put even more on
00:19:27.03\00:19:28.36
and they're
lowering their metabolism,
00:19:28.40\00:19:29.86
they're gonna be
worse off than they start.
00:19:29.90\00:19:31.93
I mean this diet's been
around for a long, long time.
00:19:31.97\00:19:34.44
It just gets
repackaged over and over again.
00:19:34.47\00:19:37.71
So many
scientists have already gone,
00:19:37.74\00:19:39.51
this is not the way to go.
00:19:39.54\00:19:40.88
That's right.
There is no quick fix.
00:19:40.91\00:19:42.61
You have to do it
through lifestyle change.
00:19:42.64\00:19:44.68
It isn't a sprint, Jay. Okay.
00:19:44.71\00:19:46.82
It's a marathon. All right.
00:19:46.85\00:19:48.18
And I was being a little
bit facetious about that new one
00:19:48.22\00:19:50.95
on this thing because
this is just repackaged.
00:19:50.99\00:19:52.42
Repackaged.
00:19:52.45\00:19:53.79
Different
clothing, different tans
00:19:53.82\00:19:55.32
and things like that,
and so let's start getting
00:19:55.36\00:19:57.49
some more
information back out there.
00:19:57.53\00:19:59.49
Let's summarize and
I'm gonna put this out
00:19:59.53\00:20:01.00
so we don't forget any of these.
00:20:01.03\00:20:02.53
The first thing what I
look about the mental change
00:20:02.56\00:20:04.83
that needs to take
place, not thinking quick fix,
00:20:04.87\00:20:07.14
thinking long term.
00:20:07.17\00:20:08.50
So it was our number
one thing we talked about
00:20:08.54\00:20:09.87
the mental aspect of
having a new perspective,
00:20:09.90\00:20:12.87
a new look at life
so we touched on that,
00:20:12.91\00:20:15.31
anything that kind of
summarize of highlight there?
00:20:15.34\00:20:17.85
One of the important things
I see is you have to really
00:20:17.88\00:20:20.95
visualize what
you're trying to accomplish.
00:20:20.98\00:20:22.92
In other words, if
you're seeing yourself
00:20:22.95\00:20:24.95
as something bad,
00:20:24.99\00:20:27.72
that's where you're
gonna keep yourself.
00:20:27.76\00:20:29.69
You have to have
a positive mindset.
00:20:29.72\00:20:31.93
I can't go
through my spiritual life
00:20:31.96\00:20:33.60
thinking of myself as a sinner.
00:20:33.63\00:20:35.46
I've to think of myself
as being saved by grace,
00:20:35.50\00:20:37.90
and I'm a new
creature in Jesus Christ.
00:20:37.93\00:20:39.97
If I just dwell
on my sinful nature,
00:20:40.00\00:20:42.37
it's gonna get
kind of depressing.
00:20:42.40\00:20:43.74
That's right.
00:20:43.77\00:20:45.11
Somebody just focuses
on how overweight they are,
00:20:45.14\00:20:48.14
or how weak they
are, or whatever,
00:20:48.18\00:20:50.65
that's not the way to go.
00:20:50.68\00:20:52.01
What we're
looking at is improvement,
00:20:52.05\00:20:53.48
every step of the
way is new improvement,
00:20:53.52\00:20:56.12
so look for little
things and visualize
00:20:56.15\00:20:58.79
what you hoped to be happening.
00:20:58.82\00:21:00.29
Even people like
Arnold Schwarzenegger
00:21:00.32\00:21:03.09
gave a lot of his
credit for the mere fact
00:21:03.12\00:21:05.46
that he would envision
what he want to look like
00:21:05.49\00:21:08.30
and he looked to achieve that.
00:21:08.33\00:21:10.23
Of course he was looking to
do again for the worldly goal,
00:21:10.27\00:21:12.83
we're looking to do
it for a heavenly goal,
00:21:12.87\00:21:14.60
so focus on,
stop seeing yourself
00:21:14.64\00:21:17.01
as being overweight, lazy, weak,
00:21:17.04\00:21:19.97
start thinking
yourself as a new creature,
00:21:20.01\00:21:21.88
I'm going forward,
00:21:21.91\00:21:23.24
I'm not gonna let
these things pull me back.
00:21:23.28\00:21:25.05
I'm gonna make progress,
I'm gonna have success,
00:21:25.08\00:21:27.18
I'm gonna succeed.
00:21:27.22\00:21:28.62
Okay, and so then
we spend a lot of time
00:21:28.65\00:21:30.99
that was the mental, now
we talk about the physical.
00:21:31.02\00:21:32.75
We've talked about the cooking
getting the kitchen setup,
00:21:32.79\00:21:35.82
talked about
some physical fitness.
00:21:35.86\00:21:37.36
We're gonna get
into more extensive
00:21:37.39\00:21:38.93
personalize fitness programs.
00:21:38.96\00:21:40.80
Then we also talked
about the spiritual,
00:21:40.83\00:21:42.76
okay, bringing the
spiritual component
00:21:42.80\00:21:44.17
and having victory
over our flesh so to speak,
00:21:44.20\00:21:46.57
our carnal nature, our desires,
00:21:46.60\00:21:49.27
our habits and things like that.
00:21:49.30\00:21:50.71
We've talked about bringing
in the spiritual component
00:21:50.74\00:21:52.97
and each day may be starting out
00:21:53.01\00:21:54.51
with the
devotional and some prayer
00:21:54.54\00:21:56.54
and bringing that in.
00:21:56.58\00:21:57.91
And let's talk a little bit
more about the social aspect.
00:21:57.95\00:22:00.48
How important it is
to surround ourselves
00:22:00.52\00:22:03.02
with an
environment that's positive.
00:22:03.05\00:22:05.35
May be it's a people,
00:22:05.39\00:22:07.49
may be it's
certain pitfalls we go to,
00:22:07.52\00:22:09.59
we know where we
our certain chair,
00:22:09.62\00:22:11.96
our certain location we go to.
00:22:11.99\00:22:13.56
Let's talk a little
bit about social aspect?
00:22:13.60\00:22:15.26
Well, that's
vital and you know, Jay,
00:22:15.30\00:22:18.03
once again
getting back to the people
00:22:18.07\00:22:19.53
who make some of
these quick fix changes
00:22:19.57\00:22:22.80
especially if anybody
sees any type of success
00:22:22.84\00:22:26.27
and if they have any
type of enthusiasm at all.
00:22:26.31\00:22:28.44
What do they become?
00:22:28.48\00:22:29.84
They become evangelists,
right? That's right.
00:22:29.88\00:22:31.31
So they're telling everybody
this is what you need to do now
00:22:31.35\00:22:33.78
like they're some expert
in exercise and nutrition
00:22:33.82\00:22:37.09
and they're not, and
they don't even realize
00:22:37.12\00:22:39.55
they're creating a
disruption in their pH balance
00:22:39.59\00:22:42.72
and both you and I know,
00:22:42.76\00:22:44.09
if that pH balance is too
acidic, what happens, Jay?
00:22:44.13\00:22:47.10
It brings disease.
00:22:47.13\00:22:48.46
Brings disease. That's right.
00:22:48.50\00:22:49.83
So when we get more
alkaline, we have health.
00:22:49.86\00:22:53.44
Now when you're
into ketoacidosis,
00:22:53.47\00:22:55.67
just the term
acidosis means acid.
00:22:55.70\00:22:58.44
That's right.
00:22:58.47\00:22:59.81
So we're causing
protein breakdowns,
00:22:59.84\00:23:01.24
we're making the
body more acidic.
00:23:01.28\00:23:03.75
And so again they
might have some quick fixes
00:23:03.78\00:23:06.28
and the body is going, wow,
00:23:06.31\00:23:08.08
we've got all
these acid to deal with,
00:23:08.12\00:23:09.45
what do we got to do?
00:23:09.48\00:23:10.82
We got to try and get rid of it,
00:23:10.85\00:23:12.19
so the body is
trying to flush out
00:23:12.22\00:23:13.59
and one thing just trying to
do it get more alkaline, Jay,
00:23:13.62\00:23:16.02
is pulling
something from our bones,
00:23:16.06\00:23:17.99
and what's that?
00:23:18.03\00:23:19.36
It's antitrypsin,
it's calcium. It's calcium.
00:23:19.39\00:23:21.20
That's right. Yeah.
00:23:21.23\00:23:22.56
It's the body's
defense mechanism
00:23:22.60\00:23:24.53
to keep our pH balance
at least somewhat normal
00:23:24.57\00:23:26.67
'cause we know if that
00:23:26.70\00:23:28.04
pH balance gets
too far either way.
00:23:28.07\00:23:30.51
We're in big
trouble. That's right.
00:23:30.54\00:23:32.44
So when people look for those
who are finding the quick fix
00:23:32.47\00:23:37.65
and they're flocking to
them, it's wrong thing to do,
00:23:37.68\00:23:41.15
what we have to do
is get to social network
00:23:41.18\00:23:43.18
of people that are likeminded.
00:23:43.22\00:23:45.25
That's right.
00:23:45.29\00:23:46.62
That's why and the
Bible encourages us
00:23:46.65\00:23:48.22
to come together with people
00:23:48.26\00:23:50.43
who are
likeminded to strengthen us,
00:23:50.46\00:23:53.09
so we're heading
to the same goal.
00:23:53.13\00:23:55.00
You know lot of
people get involved
00:23:55.03\00:23:56.36
with various
marketing schemes out there,
00:23:56.40\00:23:57.97
multi-level marketing
and they encourage them
00:23:58.00\00:24:00.20
to come together
for their meetings,
00:24:00.24\00:24:01.97
because they start to lose
some of their esteem you know,
00:24:02.00\00:24:04.21
and they come back together
and they get fired up again
00:24:04.24\00:24:06.54
about going out there.
00:24:06.57\00:24:07.91
Well, again we're talking
about something that's worldly,
00:24:07.94\00:24:10.41
we're talking about
something that's spiritual.
00:24:10.45\00:24:12.48
We're talking about something
that's gonna help people
00:24:12.51\00:24:14.42
for the rest of their life,
00:24:14.45\00:24:15.88
and that's what
one of the reasons
00:24:15.92\00:24:17.25
why you and I
want to do this program
00:24:17.29\00:24:18.62
in the first
place because we know
00:24:18.65\00:24:20.16
there is so much
misinformation out there.
00:24:20.19\00:24:22.46
And we know there
is a lot of people
00:24:22.49\00:24:23.86
who can't afford to go to
a life style change program,
00:24:23.89\00:24:26.70
although you
and I both have seen
00:24:26.73\00:24:28.36
the awesome
things that can happen,
00:24:28.40\00:24:30.10
so what we're trying to
do is we're trying to bring
00:24:30.13\00:24:31.83
a lifestyle change program
right to you in your home
00:24:31.87\00:24:35.04
that you can
fall on a weekly basis
00:24:35.07\00:24:37.41
and still make
these great changes
00:24:37.44\00:24:39.07
and see the miracles
that you and I've seen.
00:24:39.11\00:24:41.11
That's right.
00:24:41.14\00:24:42.48
The one last aspect
of that social dimension,
00:24:42.51\00:24:44.71
we hear it so may
times, nobody else in my family
00:24:44.75\00:24:47.42
wants to do this.
00:24:47.45\00:24:48.92
Do I have to have a
separate cupboard for my food,
00:24:48.95\00:24:50.55
go after that?
00:24:50.59\00:24:51.92
Let me tell you about a
story we just experienced
00:24:51.95\00:24:53.86
in one of our community
interventions in Flagstaff.
00:24:53.89\00:24:56.62
There was a
gentleman who took our program
00:24:56.69\00:24:58.89
and he brought
home all the information
00:24:58.93\00:25:01.40
and he signed up
and he was all in,
00:25:01.43\00:25:02.90
and he wasn't
really obese sort of thing
00:25:02.93\00:25:04.80
like he is just
trying to improve his health.
00:25:04.83\00:25:06.57
Well, his wife got
excited about it as well,
00:25:06.60\00:25:08.40
and then his two daughters,
00:25:08.44\00:25:09.77
he had teenaged daughters
and they said you know,
00:25:09.80\00:25:11.14
we're all gonna do this together
00:25:11.17\00:25:12.51
and now they're living
testimonies, walking billboards
00:25:12.54\00:25:15.61
and the effects that
husband lost over 40 pounds,
00:25:15.64\00:25:17.78
his lipids normalize,
his attitude is different,
00:25:17.81\00:25:20.42
the whole family is excited
00:25:20.45\00:25:21.78
so, you might
have teenagers at home,
00:25:21.82\00:25:24.09
you may have other
people in the family
00:25:24.12\00:25:25.52
that don't want to do this
with you, but be an example,
00:25:25.55\00:25:28.29
set the stage and
it's not all or nothing,
00:25:28.32\00:25:30.59
this program as you know,
00:25:30.63\00:25:31.96
just making small
changes can be good,
00:25:31.99\00:25:34.20
but sometimes those
changes aren't enough to feel
00:25:34.23\00:25:36.30
a lot better so you
get discourage from it.
00:25:36.33\00:25:38.50
So when you see that
you're committed to it,
00:25:38.53\00:25:40.80
you can actually
transform your family
00:25:40.84\00:25:42.44
like this gentlemen
that I just mentioned.
00:25:42.47\00:25:44.17
How about anybody else,
Dick, that you know of that
00:25:44.21\00:25:46.81
brought at home to them
and other people got excited
00:25:46.84\00:25:49.31
and things like that?
00:25:49.34\00:25:50.68
Oh, you see it
all the time. Okay.
00:25:50.71\00:25:52.05
And again you go
back to a spiritual time
00:25:52.08\00:25:54.38
where one person
full of Holy Spirit
00:25:54.42\00:25:56.22
can move the entire church.
00:25:56.25\00:25:57.59
That's right.
00:25:57.62\00:25:58.95
And even though you
might find family members
00:25:58.99\00:26:00.76
fighting against you
and lot of times you have...
00:26:00.79\00:26:03.26
When I was
running dietary programs
00:26:03.29\00:26:05.43
oftentimes wives are
coming in taking the program
00:26:05.46\00:26:08.00
because men I don't know,
00:26:08.03\00:26:09.76
they either think they
already got all figured out
00:26:09.80\00:26:11.30
or they think they
need to change nothing.
00:26:11.33\00:26:13.03
But the harsh reality is
00:26:13.07\00:26:14.90
the husbands are
losing the weight
00:26:14.94\00:26:16.27
even though the wives
are coming to the program
00:26:16.30\00:26:17.64
because they're
one's fixing their food.
00:26:17.67\00:26:19.77
So we see a lot of
awesome things happen out there
00:26:19.81\00:26:22.34
when people start to
change their lifestyle
00:26:22.38\00:26:24.11
and start focusing on not
just what they can accomplish
00:26:24.15\00:26:27.42
by lowering their
cholesterol and triglycerides,
00:26:27.45\00:26:30.15
that's all gonna come,
00:26:30.19\00:26:31.65
as a byproduct of
changing the lifestyle
00:26:31.69\00:26:34.42
but really we're looking at
is take it to the next level
00:26:34.46\00:26:38.49
to glorify God with our
body and not worrying about
00:26:38.53\00:26:42.43
what's gonna happen so much
00:26:42.46\00:26:44.03
but if they
just keep focusing on
00:26:44.07\00:26:46.03
going forward in Christ,
00:26:46.07\00:26:48.07
making these changes
and doing it to God's glory.
00:26:48.10\00:26:51.41
They're gonna see all the
things are looking forward.
00:26:51.44\00:26:54.11
All the cholesterol
drops, the weight loss.
00:26:54.14\00:26:55.81
That's right. All
to the glory of God.
00:26:55.84\00:26:57.58
And the neat thing
is that they can pick up
00:26:57.61\00:26:59.35
our materials online
at www.optimize4life.org.
00:26:59.38\00:27:05.65
Follow along logs,
trackers, the whole bit,
00:27:05.69\00:27:08.22
get our materials
online and follow along
00:27:08.26\00:27:10.36
in this program
as we begin together.
00:27:10.39\00:27:12.33
One person family
member or whatever,
00:27:12.36\00:27:15.46
they start making these changes
others around them will start
00:27:15.50\00:27:18.13
seeing the
difference of their weight loss,
00:27:18.17\00:27:20.84
their continence changing,
00:27:20.87\00:27:22.60
their whole overall
attitude about how they feel
00:27:22.64\00:27:24.94
and how they carry themselves,
00:27:24.97\00:27:26.31
it will all change and that
starts to draw people to them
00:27:26.34\00:27:29.81
and they want to start
making those changes as well.
00:27:29.84\00:27:32.58
There're lot of
stories I could tell
00:27:32.61\00:27:34.22
but unfortunately we
don't have time for them
00:27:34.25\00:27:36.05
because we're about out of time.
00:27:36.08\00:27:37.89
But we do want to let you
know that if you want to go
00:27:37.92\00:27:39.89
to our website at
www.optimize4life.org,
00:27:39.92\00:27:44.76
you'll find a lot
of our material there.
00:27:44.79\00:27:46.93
We're gonna try and
have workbooks for you
00:27:46.96\00:27:48.76
and lots of different recipes,
00:27:48.80\00:27:50.33
and menu plans, exercise videos.
00:27:50.37\00:27:53.80
It's all gonna be there
for you to look at to help you
00:27:53.84\00:27:56.14
along your journey
of getting yourself fit
00:27:56.17\00:27:59.64
and changing that lifestyle.
00:27:59.67\00:28:01.44
So it's just been a
thrill to get together
00:28:01.48\00:28:04.45
and do this program,
00:28:04.48\00:28:05.81
it's been something we
want to do for long time,
00:28:05.85\00:28:07.95
and so we thank you all
for joining us out there,
00:28:07.98\00:28:10.15
and we look forward
to seeing you next time
00:28:10.19\00:28:12.02
on Optimize 4 Life.
00:28:12.05\00:28:14.46
