Have you ever wondered how
to prepare a healthy food that
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.90
actually tastes good?
00:00:02.93\00:00:04.33
Well stay tuned while
Evita Tezeno, Brenda Kemp
00:00:04.37\00:00:07.04
and yours truly, Nyse Collins,
shows you just how to do it
00:00:07.07\00:00:10.31
and give you "A
Taste of Paradise"
00:00:10.34\00:00:13.44
My name is Brenda Kemp,
and my name is Evita Tezeno
00:00:28.92\00:00:32.19
Evita, I love pasta... Me too...
00:00:32.23\00:00:36.40
Well, some of the
things about turning raw was
00:00:36.43\00:00:39.57
how was I going to give up
pasta since I love it so much.
00:00:39.60\00:00:43.64
Well today's recipe
is "fiesta zucchini pasta
00:00:43.67\00:00:47.41
with raw marinara sauce."
00:00:47.44\00:00:49.08
So let's talk about
what the ingredients are...
00:00:49.11\00:00:52.68
We'll be using the following:
00:00:52.71\00:00:55.65
So let's begin...
00:01:14.34\00:01:21.84
Brenda, this seems like
it's loaded with nutrients.
00:01:21.88\00:01:25.91
It is packed with nutrients!
00:01:25.95\00:01:27.98
And one of the good things about
00:01:28.02\00:01:29.38
zucchini is that it's
available year-round. Really?
00:01:29.42\00:01:32.75
So these are organic zucchini
that we'll be using today.
00:01:32.79\00:01:36.22
This has spinach and cilantro
and all... that's wonderful!
00:01:37.23\00:01:42.83
What we do is, we
cut the ends off of our
00:01:42.86\00:01:45.43
zucchini and I've already
done these ahead of time.
00:01:45.47\00:01:48.80
And what we're going to be
using is called a "spiralizer."
00:01:48.84\00:01:52.44
Now this little
machine spiralizes our zucchini
00:01:52.47\00:01:55.54
so that it comes out
looking like spaghetti. Wow!
00:01:55.58\00:01:59.05
What we do is, we
put the back end of
00:02:04.55\00:02:06.15
the zucchini onto
there, hold it in with that,
00:02:06.19\00:02:14.23
lock it in and spiralize!
00:02:15.26\00:02:19.20
Wow, look at that!
00:02:19.23\00:02:22.10
We have left the skin on
the zucchini because the skin,
00:02:25.17\00:02:28.84
since it's green,
it's packed with vitamins.
00:02:28.88\00:02:32.35
But if you so choose,
you can skin the zucchini.
00:02:32.58\00:02:38.62
And you said that
zucchini is year-round?
00:02:42.39\00:02:45.19
It is year-round.
So you can enjoy it
00:02:45.23\00:02:47.53
all the time! I can
have pasta every day.
00:02:47.56\00:02:49.80
Wow, that is amazing!
00:02:49.83\00:02:52.83
So this cores the zucchini?
00:02:53.90\00:02:56.34
Actually, you can
juice the zucchini.
00:02:57.61\00:03:00.58
Oh really? Wow!
00:03:00.61\00:03:02.44
And did you know that
zucchini is 95% water?
00:03:04.81\00:03:07.58
Wow, so that means
that, nope, it's not fattening
00:03:07.62\00:03:11.52
like pasta is very fattening.
00:03:11.55\00:03:13.52
That is so awesome!
00:03:14.46\00:03:15.79
And this is good too
for people that are allergic
00:03:15.82\00:03:19.63
to wheat and they
could have pasta also
00:03:19.66\00:03:23.37
without having
the wheat. Exactly!
00:03:23.40\00:03:26.70
That is pretty awesome.
00:03:26.74\00:03:28.64
Zucchini also is
loaded with vitamin C.
00:03:29.14\00:03:31.67
Oh, that's really good as well.
00:03:31.71\00:03:34.88
Let me get that
bowl for you. Um hm
00:03:36.11\00:03:38.55
This is also good
exercise. ... laughter
00:03:50.23\00:03:53.53
Got one more to do, I'm
going to do this last one.
00:03:57.83\00:04:00.47
So...
00:04:05.97\00:04:07.31
Leaving the skin on, look at
the color of the zucchini mix.
00:04:12.41\00:04:15.58
Oh, it makes it real pretty.
00:04:15.62\00:04:17.42
Okay, I think
that's about enough.
00:04:20.62\00:04:23.22
That's okay.
00:04:25.43\00:04:27.60
Let's get this out of your way.
00:04:28.63\00:04:30.97
We can stick it on the counter.
00:04:35.20\00:04:36.71
Okay, so this is our
beautiful color here.
00:04:37.37\00:04:40.61
And so then what we
want to do, I have chopped up
00:04:46.15\00:04:48.65
some spinach... here you go.
00:04:48.68\00:04:51.45
So we'll add that...
And spinach is rich in iron.
00:04:51.49\00:04:55.36
That's very good for us.
00:04:55.79\00:04:57.99
Yummy!
00:04:58.83\00:05:00.50
Let's add in some cilantro.
00:05:00.53\00:05:04.60
Yummy! Um hm
00:05:04.63\00:05:06.67
And some green onions.
00:05:08.20\00:05:13.24
And with all this
green, let's add in some
00:05:13.54\00:05:17.45
super bright red tomatoes.
00:05:17.48\00:05:19.38
Oh wow, that's
going to be gorgeous.
00:05:19.41\00:05:21.58
As well as some bell peppers.
00:05:23.65\00:05:26.59
And with all this
color, this is where we
00:05:30.99\00:05:33.09
get our zucchini -
our fiesta name from.
00:05:33.13\00:05:37.23
And you're going to put
in some black sesame seeds.
00:05:40.70\00:05:46.61
Awesome! That's beautiful!
00:05:49.18\00:05:51.48
There we have it!
00:05:51.51\00:05:57.19
So we're going to
clear these things away,
00:05:57.22\00:05:59.62
and let's start on
the marinara sauce. Okay!
00:05:59.65\00:06:02.06
And what you need for the
marinara sauce is the following:
00:06:03.09\00:06:06.03
So let's begin...
00:06:35.09\00:06:36.73
We have the Roma tomatoes
and the sun-dried tomatoes,
00:06:38.43\00:06:45.33
bell pepper,
00:06:46.77\00:06:51.04
oregano,
00:06:51.07\00:06:55.14
basil,
00:06:55.18\00:06:58.15
garlic,
00:06:58.18\00:07:01.62
sea salt,
00:07:01.65\00:07:03.89
and olive oil.
00:07:06.05\00:07:08.62
Can you believe
that this is not cooked?
00:07:09.49\00:07:11.86
No stove required!
00:07:11.89\00:07:13.26
Wow, I'm wondering
how that's going to taste.
00:07:13.29\00:07:15.93
So we're going
to process it now.
00:07:17.00\00:07:18.57
Oh, it smells so good!
00:07:29.64\00:07:32.21
Wow, look at that.
00:07:35.72\00:07:37.79
Let's get our
plates ready to plate it.
00:07:38.22\00:07:40.72
So Brenda, if you
were having a dinner party,
00:07:43.73\00:07:46.63
we can serve this,
this is also good for
00:07:47.20\00:07:53.07
a church fellowship dinner.
00:07:53.10\00:07:56.34
Look how gorgeous that looks.
00:07:56.50\00:07:58.11
Yes, it's beautiful!
00:07:58.14\00:08:00.38
All my friends really like this.
00:08:02.81\00:08:04.58
Okay, let's get a bowl
for the marinara sauce now.
00:08:08.15\00:08:11.25
Isn't this wonderful?
00:08:14.89\00:08:16.62
Do you have a spoon?
00:08:21.46\00:08:22.93
Wonderful!
00:08:27.80\00:08:29.14
So there we have
it, fiesta pasta with
00:08:29.17\00:08:32.97
raw marinara sauce.
00:08:33.01\00:08:34.98
Isn't this
wonderful and beautiful?
00:08:35.21\00:08:38.48
Balance and a
blessing. Carbohydrates.
00:08:46.42\00:08:48.62
Did you know that God wanted
His people to be balanced,
00:08:48.66\00:08:52.06
in all their blessings?
00:08:52.09\00:08:53.43
Many people ask,
"What are you talking about,
00:08:53.46\00:08:55.36
balance and a blessing?"
00:08:55.40\00:08:56.77
Well today, we're going
to look at a couple of items
00:08:56.80\00:08:58.53
on how we can do that.
00:08:58.57\00:08:59.90
In our program, especially,
we don't say anybody is
00:08:59.93\00:09:03.34
per se "fat" as some people
would say, "overweight, obese,"
00:09:03.37\00:09:09.11
and we don't say,
"people are skinny,"
00:09:09.14\00:09:11.08
some may say, "thin,"
or you know what they call
00:09:11.11\00:09:14.62
people "frail,"
and stuff like that.
00:09:14.65\00:09:16.15
In our program, we believe
that some people are actually
00:09:16.18\00:09:19.02
"over-blessed" and
some are "under-blessed."
00:09:19.05\00:09:21.99
Now people say, "What
are you talking about?"
00:09:22.02\00:09:23.86
We don't like to
discourage people.
00:09:23.89\00:09:26.53
Our goal is to
actually encourage them,
00:09:26.56\00:09:28.50
and I can imagine if
I had too much blessings
00:09:28.53\00:09:32.53
or somebody just said,
"Man, Nyse, you're fat,"
00:09:32.57\00:09:34.74
I wouldn't be very motivated to
00:09:34.77\00:09:36.37
do anything because I
would just be discouraged...
00:09:36.40\00:09:38.87
So our goal is to
focus on helping people,
00:09:38.91\00:09:41.08
and so we decided to
term this item "a blessing,"
00:09:41.11\00:09:44.91
and people said, "Well how could
00:09:44.95\00:09:46.35
fat be considered a blessing?"
00:09:46.38\00:09:47.72
Well, here's a
couple of reasons why...
00:09:47.75\00:09:49.25
Number 1, we believe
that God has blessed His
00:09:49.28\00:09:51.39
people with what? Finances.
00:09:51.42\00:09:53.36
He blessed them with
money and so as a result,
00:09:53.39\00:09:55.72
they have so much money,
they don't share it enough,
00:09:55.76\00:09:57.99
they don't give enough,
maybe they don't help enough,
00:09:58.03\00:09:59.86
so they kind of keep all
of that money to themselves
00:09:59.89\00:10:02.23
which is the money, like
I said, it's a blessing...
00:10:02.26\00:10:05.40
But then as a result,
they go out now and they
00:10:05.43\00:10:08.70
start to buy things
and they don't just like
00:10:08.74\00:10:11.01
buy anything, but
they buy like more food...
00:10:11.04\00:10:13.64
And we just buy
like one bag of rice,
00:10:13.68\00:10:16.78
we actually buy
the supersize bag.
00:10:16.81\00:10:19.91
What else do we do?
00:10:19.95\00:10:21.28
We don't buy
just like one juice,
00:10:21.32\00:10:22.65
but we buy like 10 juices.
00:10:22.68\00:10:24.45
And so as a result, we
don't even shop at regular
00:10:24.49\00:10:27.32
supermarkets anymore, we
go to the wholesale places
00:10:27.36\00:10:30.49
and the funny thing is,
our families haven't gotten any
00:10:30.53\00:10:33.03
bigger, they actually got
smaller, but we're buying more.
00:10:33.06\00:10:36.16
So what do we
do with all of this
00:10:36.20\00:10:38.03
food that we have been
blessed with because of the
00:10:38.07\00:10:39.93
financial
blessings, now we have more
00:10:39.97\00:10:41.34
money to buy more food?
00:10:41.37\00:10:42.70
We go ahead and we
start to EAT more food.
00:10:42.74\00:10:45.61
So now the blessing
leaves the financial realm,
00:10:45.64\00:10:48.38
and, as a result, because
we don't give and share enough
00:10:48.41\00:10:51.28
of our food
blessings, we start to...
00:10:51.31\00:10:53.72
now the blessing is what?
00:10:53.75\00:10:55.08
Manifested in
one way or another,
00:10:55.12\00:10:56.79
and some of us are over-blessed
and some are under-blessed.
00:10:56.82\00:10:59.15
And people say, "Well,
how can you prove that?"
00:10:59.19\00:11:01.12
Well just look at
the homeless man...
00:11:01.16\00:11:02.76
He doesn't have the
financial blessings,
00:11:02.79\00:11:04.53
and so, in
general, you won't see
00:11:04.56\00:11:06.76
the homeless people
who are over-blessed.
00:11:06.80\00:11:08.53
They are usually under-blessed
because they only eat
00:11:08.56\00:11:11.33
enough to like survive.
00:11:11.37\00:11:13.37
And so our goal is to teach
00:11:13.40\00:11:14.74
people how to
balance the blessings.
00:11:14.77\00:11:16.10
We had an opportunity to
work with one young lady.
00:11:16.14\00:11:18.11
She had over 350+ blessings,
literally, she was over-blessed,
00:11:18.14\00:11:24.28
but as a result, she
was thinking of getting
00:11:24.31\00:11:26.41
what is known as
the "gastric bypass."
00:11:26.45\00:11:28.45
You all know what that is...
where they just cut the stomach.
00:11:28.48\00:11:30.42
As-a-matter-of-fact, these days
00:11:30.45\00:11:31.79
they don't really
cut your stomach no more,
00:11:31.82\00:11:33.15
they just throw
a band around it.
00:11:33.19\00:11:34.52
They call it the "lap
band" or gastric bypass.
00:11:34.56\00:11:38.79
And I asked her
a quick question...
00:11:38.83\00:11:40.36
I said, "Ma'am, is it an
emergency to have the surgery?"
00:11:40.40\00:11:43.30
And she said,
"Well I don't know."
00:11:43.33\00:11:44.73
I said, "Well contact
your physician because we
00:11:44.77\00:11:46.17
work along with physicians
and practitioners and nurses,
00:11:46.20\00:11:48.90
and everybody there - we don't
say anything bad about them."
00:11:48.94\00:11:51.61
"Work along with them."
00:11:51.64\00:11:52.97
And so she went and she
called her physician and said,
00:11:53.01\00:11:55.34
"Is it an
emergency," and the doctor said,
00:11:55.38\00:11:56.71
"Well it's up to you,
if you want the surgery,
00:11:56.75\00:11:59.35
then you can go ahead and do
it and then you'll lose weight."
00:11:59.38\00:12:01.82
But here's the thing, in those
programs, you actually lose
00:12:01.85\00:12:04.72
weight - when you do these
procedures, you lose weight,
00:12:04.75\00:12:06.76
and sometimes you lose SO
MUCH of it, you have to go back
00:12:06.79\00:12:10.83
and do another
surgery because now you have
00:12:10.86\00:12:12.79
the extra blessing of skin...
00:12:12.83\00:12:14.30
you all know what
I'm talking about.
00:12:14.33\00:12:15.66
So many people now,
they go back and they get a
00:12:15.70\00:12:17.97
whole nother thing and
they call it something like a
00:12:18.00\00:12:19.83
"total body lift" or something
where they remove all that
00:12:19.87\00:12:23.07
excess skin and
stuff because they
00:12:23.10\00:12:24.84
actually lost weight so fast.
00:12:24.87\00:12:27.41
That's why we
don't encourage people,
00:12:27.44\00:12:29.41
or we don't tell them, "we'll
teach you how to lose weight."
00:12:29.44\00:12:31.51
We'll teach you how
to balance the blessing,
00:12:31.55\00:12:33.18
because if you are
over-blessed, and you follow
00:12:33.21\00:12:35.58
the plan that God has given you,
00:12:35.62\00:12:36.95
you come right to
where you need to be.
00:12:36.99\00:12:38.85
If you are under-blessed,
what would happen?
00:12:38.89\00:12:40.76
You will balance right
up to where you need to be.
00:12:40.79\00:12:43.09
I used to be right around
there, I used to be about 220
00:12:43.12\00:12:46.90
and stuff - I was playing
football and I was over-blessed.
00:12:46.93\00:12:49.73
But then when I started
learning this information,
00:12:49.76\00:12:51.77
my blessings started to
balance and I came down right
00:12:51.80\00:12:55.40
to where I need to be
and the funny thing was
00:12:55.44\00:12:57.34
that was like over 17 years ago.
00:12:57.37\00:12:59.24
Do you know I'm still
eating the same food today
00:12:59.27\00:13:02.04
and when it was happening,
when I started to like
00:13:02.08\00:13:04.68
lose weight, I was like...
00:13:04.71\00:13:06.11
"Man, I withering
away, what's happening?"
00:13:06.15\00:13:08.52
But as a result, I
peaked or I balanced
00:13:08.58\00:13:10.95
right where I
needed to be and then
00:13:10.99\00:13:12.92
that was it, I stayed the same.
00:13:12.95\00:13:14.42
Now if I'm in the islands or the
00:13:14.49\00:13:15.92
Caribbean where
the food is heavier,
00:13:15.96\00:13:17.63
I would probably add
maybe 1 or 2 more blessings.
00:13:17.66\00:13:20.40
If I'm in Asia and
the food is much lighter,
00:13:20.43\00:13:22.80
I'd probably go down 1 or
2, but you don't have these
00:13:22.83\00:13:25.67
peaks and troughs;
you know, these 20 pound
00:13:25.70\00:13:28.64
weight increases and
these 10 pound decreases,
00:13:28.67\00:13:32.44
you will balance your
blessings as a result.
00:13:32.47\00:13:35.14
So I just want to encourage
you, let's try to start
00:13:35.18\00:13:37.55
balancing these blessings...
00:13:37.58\00:13:38.91
We're not here to
lose weight or gain it.
00:13:38.95\00:13:40.72
We're just going to follow
the plan that God has given us
00:13:40.75\00:13:42.72
because it's in our
DNA how we should look;
00:13:42.75\00:13:45.25
what size we
should be and all of that.
00:13:45.29\00:13:48.02
So you all don't have to worry.
00:13:48.06\00:13:49.46
But what we notice is...
those people who follow these
00:13:49.49\00:13:53.06
diets - you all know
what I'm talking about, right?
00:13:53.09\00:13:55.43
Well you take the
"t"... one person said,
00:13:55.46\00:13:57.40
"If you take the
"t" and try a diet,
00:13:57.43\00:13:59.93
so take "t" off of
"diet," and you will,
00:13:59.97\00:14:02.60
if you try a diet, you
will d- i-e, die and I'm
00:14:02.64\00:14:05.91
not going to say that,
not all diets will kill you.
00:14:05.94\00:14:08.01
But it's almost true because
most diets - what will they do?
00:14:08.04\00:14:10.95
They will take something
necessary out of your lifestyle,
00:14:10.98\00:14:14.58
something that body needs
and craves for and as a result,
00:14:14.62\00:14:18.65
if you continue to
follow them without making
00:14:18.69\00:14:21.59
any other changes, then
eventually something will
00:14:21.62\00:14:24.36
go wrong because your
body needs something from that.
00:14:24.39\00:14:27.13
So we're not going
to try a diet today.
00:14:27.16\00:14:28.86
Actually, what
we're going to do,
00:14:28.90\00:14:30.27
we're just going to eat the
way the Lord wants us to eat,
00:14:30.30\00:14:32.80
and everything else
is going to work out.
00:14:32.83\00:14:34.37
But one of those diets
that we'll look out today
00:14:34.40\00:14:36.47
because we're going to
focus on carbohydrates.
00:14:36.50\00:14:38.64
This is like the big, scary
word with many people around
00:14:38.67\00:14:43.18
town and they're like, "Oh
is that a carb, is that a carb?"
00:14:43.21\00:14:45.48
And they won't eat it and
so you look at their plates
00:14:45.51\00:14:48.25
sometimes and they got a nice
piece of veggie meat, amen...
00:14:48.28\00:14:52.39
Or maybe even a piece of chicken
or fish or something like that,
00:14:52.42\00:14:55.12
and then you look on
the other side of the plate,
00:14:55.16\00:14:57.26
and you probably see
some veggies or something...
00:14:57.29\00:14:59.19
And you're like, "Wait a second,
something is kind of like
00:14:59.23\00:15:01.56
missing here and you
say, "Well what's going on?"
00:15:01.60\00:15:04.10
They're like, "Uh, I don't eat
no rice, I don't eat no bread,
00:15:04.13\00:15:08.14
I don't eat this
and I don't eat that,"
00:15:08.17\00:15:09.64
and everybody is like
trying to avoid these carbs.
00:15:09.67\00:15:13.31
Well that could be a
little questionable... Why?
00:15:13.34\00:15:15.61
Because carbs are a
necessary part of your diet.
00:15:15.64\00:15:18.18
You need it, you
can't live without it.
00:15:18.21\00:15:20.12
It's like brain food.
00:15:20.15\00:15:21.52
So what we're going
to focus on today is how
00:15:21.55\00:15:24.29
to incorporate some
carbs into our diet,
00:15:24.32\00:15:26.59
how to chew the proper
ones because it's necessary...
00:15:26.62\00:15:29.92
you need to have it every
day and this thing of like
00:15:29.96\00:15:33.96
hiding away from it,
we're going to have to go ahead,
00:15:34.00\00:15:36.26
and wash that to the side
00:15:36.43\00:15:37.90
because you will see
the benefit of doing it.
00:15:37.93\00:15:40.84
But there's one carb in
particular and we'll look at a
00:15:40.87\00:15:43.51
couple here today that many
people say, "Well I don't eat
00:15:43.54\00:15:46.11
at all because it makes me fat
or in our program, we would say,
00:15:46.14\00:15:50.41
"They think it
makes them over-blessed,"
00:15:50.45\00:15:52.45
and that carb is rice.
00:15:52.48\00:15:54.92
Now you all know
what I'm talking about.
00:15:54.95\00:15:56.89
Nobody wants to eat rice...
00:15:56.92\00:15:58.32
"Oh, the rice
makes me over-blessed,
00:15:58.35\00:16:00.92
and I don't want to do it."
00:16:00.96\00:16:03.79
You remember the lady I
was just telling you about
00:16:03.83\00:16:05.23
who was going to get
that gastric bypass surgery,
00:16:05.26\00:16:07.60
she had over 350+ blessings.
00:16:07.63\00:16:11.07
She went ahead and
started following the plan.
00:16:11.10\00:16:13.13
As-a-matter-of-fact, she
started eating more carbs now,
00:16:13.17\00:16:15.57
and, as a result, in the
first month, she balanced,
00:16:15.60\00:16:17.87
meaning she lost
like almost 24-25,
00:16:17.91\00:16:21.61
the second month
22-23, the third month,
00:16:21.64\00:16:24.78
and fourth month,
over about 6 months
00:16:24.81\00:16:28.28
she balanced - meaning
that she went down in her weight
00:16:28.32\00:16:31.02
over 100+ blessings.
00:16:31.05\00:16:33.79
You all know what that
means... over 100+ pounds
00:16:33.82\00:16:36.56
just by following
the simple things.
00:16:36.59\00:16:38.29
And as-a-matter-of-fact,
she was actually using carbs.
00:16:38.33\00:16:41.13
And now, today... well
let me tell you real quick,
00:16:41.16\00:16:43.47
you know what
happened to that surgery?
00:16:43.50\00:16:44.93
They cancelled the surgery,
no more surgery, not needed.
00:16:44.97\00:16:47.94
The doctor said, "I
don't know what you're doing,
00:16:47.97\00:16:49.30
whatever you're
doing, keep doing it.
00:16:49.34\00:16:50.67
She don't need the
surgery anymore and as a result
00:16:50.71\00:16:53.48
she is actually eating carbs,
and I wish she could be here
00:16:53.51\00:16:56.34
to tell you some of the story.
00:16:56.38\00:16:58.15
But today, you all are
going to learn your own
00:16:58.18\00:16:59.68
because what we're going
to do is learn how to make
00:16:59.71\00:17:01.45
some of them and that rice
that we were talking about...
00:17:01.48\00:17:03.92
the one in particular
that we're going to look at is
00:17:03.95\00:17:06.35
brown rice! Okay?
So I'm going to call it
00:17:06.39\00:17:08.82
"whole grain rice"
because a lot of us, we like the
00:17:08.86\00:17:11.53
white rice and white
rice does taste good,
00:17:11.56\00:17:13.40
but it may not
be the best thing!
00:17:13.43\00:17:15.23
It's actually a refined
product, almost like white flour
00:17:15.26\00:17:18.33
and white bread,
it's not the whole grain.
00:17:18.37\00:17:21.67
If you actually
look at your white rice,
00:17:21.70\00:17:23.41
and I want
everybody, if you're at home,
00:17:23.44\00:17:24.77
call the kids, tell somebody
"Go grab me a white rice
00:17:24.81\00:17:27.68
and a piece of brown
rice," or you know what I mean,
00:17:27.71\00:17:29.74
a grain and if you
look at it closely,
00:17:29.78\00:17:32.25
you'll see that the
white rice has been processed
00:17:32.28\00:17:35.02
or refined, you know, I'm
thinking in Spanish here...
00:17:35.05\00:17:38.79
What you will see is, on
the top of that white rice
00:17:38.82\00:17:42.09
grain, you will
see a little cut.
00:17:42.12\00:17:44.16
Okay, I will grab a
little grain of brown rice,
00:17:44.19\00:17:46.29
you probably can't see here,
but get your own - this is mine.
00:17:46.33\00:17:49.13
They went ahead and they
cut it, so you see a little
00:17:49.16\00:17:51.63
cut going across the top,
and then if you look at the
00:17:51.67\00:17:54.27
bottom of that white
rice you see a little
00:17:54.30\00:17:56.77
like a little claw - you
know what used to be there,
00:17:56.81\00:17:59.61
that used to be the
germ... they cut that off.
00:17:59.64\00:18:02.48
The thing that they
cut off off the top was
00:18:02.51\00:18:04.51
the fiber or the
bran which is necessary.
00:18:04.55\00:18:07.92
And then, so they
cut off the fiber,
00:18:07.95\00:18:10.02
then they dig out the germ
and then the last thing you're
00:18:10.05\00:18:13.89
left with is a piece
or grain of white rice.
00:18:13.92\00:18:17.23
This is like the leftover stuff.
00:18:17.26\00:18:18.96
You know what the
funny thing they do
00:18:18.99\00:18:21.03
with that bran
that you just had?
00:18:21.06\00:18:22.76
They take that and they probably
mix it up, add a little sugar
00:18:22.80\00:18:25.63
they make cereal and
they call it, "whole grain,
00:18:25.67\00:18:28.54
or not whole grain - bran
flakes" or something like that,
00:18:28.57\00:18:31.34
and then they sell you
that for another $5 or $6
00:18:31.37\00:18:34.04
or whatever the currency is,
and then they take that little
00:18:34.08\00:18:37.51
germ that we were looking
at, you know, and if you look
00:18:37.55\00:18:40.18
at your white
rice, you will see it,
00:18:40.22\00:18:41.55
it will be
missing a little part...
00:18:41.58\00:18:42.92
they take that germ and
they put it in a glass jar
00:18:42.95\00:18:44.82
and then what do they do?
00:18:44.85\00:18:46.19
They tell you, "Oh, when
you have your bran flakes
00:18:46.22\00:18:48.76
in the morning, make
sure you add 2 tablespoons
00:18:48.79\00:18:51.76
of wheat germ"...
so they made another
00:18:51.79\00:18:55.53
$5 and $6 off of you or
whatever the currency is,
00:18:55.56\00:18:58.80
and, as a result, you're
left with the white rice.
00:18:58.83\00:19:01.84
And so, you've added
all of these things back
00:19:01.87\00:19:04.21
into your meal
that you could have had
00:19:04.24\00:19:06.37
if you just ate the whole grain.
00:19:06.41\00:19:08.88
And I had to learn
this the hard way...
00:19:08.91\00:19:10.58
As a result, if anybody
used white rice, white bread
00:19:10.61\00:19:14.35
or something like that,
you're going to notice that
00:19:14.38\00:19:15.92
they may or you may have a
little problem going, you know,
00:19:15.95\00:19:18.85
to the bathroom-number
2, is because it is missing
00:19:18.89\00:19:22.09
that bran or that fiber,
so when it hits the system
00:19:22.12\00:19:26.06
it becomes like glue.
00:19:26.09\00:19:27.43
If anybody used to fly a kite...
00:19:27.46\00:19:28.80
a long time ago when I used
00:19:28.83\00:19:30.17
to be young - I don't
think y'all were around,
00:19:30.20\00:19:31.53
we used to fly
kites, we didn't have
00:19:31.57\00:19:32.90
Elmer's glue and
all these glues, right?
00:19:32.93\00:19:34.64
So what we would do is we
would take the white flour
00:19:34.67\00:19:37.04
and mix it with a little water
and we put that on a stick,
00:19:37.07\00:19:39.47
put the kite on top, let it dry,
00:19:39.51\00:19:41.11
and then you
would be flying kites.
00:19:41.14\00:19:42.74
That's what those
white products do,
00:19:42.78\00:19:44.11
they work almost
like glue, so be careful.
00:19:44.15\00:19:47.55
But we're going to do,
we ain't going to add no
00:19:47.58\00:19:50.02
glue to our system,
we're going to go ahead
00:19:50.05\00:19:52.29
and let things flow naturally
and we're going to do that
00:19:52.32\00:19:55.76
by making the flaky, brown rice.
00:19:55.79\00:19:58.83
Here's the
recipe, all you need is:
00:19:58.86\00:20:01.26
And any time do say
salt on our program,
00:20:07.34\00:20:09.74
you know what
we're talking about,
00:20:09.77\00:20:11.11
we're talking about sea salt.
00:20:11.14\00:20:12.47
And that's all you need, a
little problem where people
00:20:12.51\00:20:16.01
say, "Oh, brown rice is great,
but it takes so long to cook,"
00:20:16.04\00:20:21.02
or "I'm just so tired of
it and it's always so hard,"
00:20:21.05\00:20:24.39
or "If I do make it, I have
to cook it properly because it's
00:20:24.42\00:20:26.92
really sticky and I feel like
I need chopsticks to eat it."
00:20:26.96\00:20:29.46
But you don't even have to
do that anymore because today
00:20:29.49\00:20:31.76
we're going to make flakey
brown rice which is almost like
00:20:31.79\00:20:34.86
the white rice that you make.
00:20:34.90\00:20:36.30
All you need is a nice
little skillet as we see here.
00:20:36.33\00:20:40.27
I went ahead and I turned on
the fire because you're going to
00:20:40.30\00:20:42.60
need it to get a
little hot, alright?
00:20:42.64\00:20:45.34
As-a-matter-of-fact, I'm
going to turn it up even more
00:20:45.37\00:20:47.68
to make sure we
get the heat going.
00:20:47.71\00:20:50.25
You don't need any
oil or anything like that,
00:20:50.28\00:20:53.01
and you just take that 2
cups of brown, whole grain rice
00:20:53.05\00:20:57.45
and a lot of people say, "Well
that's little bit more expensive
00:20:57.49\00:20:59.95
than white rice" and I
would like to explain that here
00:20:59.99\00:21:02.49
in a second, but first I'm
just going to pour that in here
00:21:02.52\00:21:04.76
dry and you're going to
get it nice and hot until you
00:21:04.79\00:21:07.60
start hearing crackling
and the color is going to start
00:21:07.63\00:21:11.47
getting brown a little bit.
00:21:11.50\00:21:12.87
They say, "Well the
brown rice is more expensive
00:21:12.90\00:21:15.14
than the white
rice and, you know what,
00:21:15.17\00:21:16.50
they may be on to something.
00:21:16.54\00:21:17.87
But actually, you're
going to save even more... why?
00:21:17.91\00:21:20.54
Because you eat less brown
rice than you would white rice.
00:21:20.58\00:21:23.91
Anybody ever went to like
lunch or something like that
00:21:23.95\00:21:26.82
or even at your house
when you have white rice,
00:21:26.85\00:21:29.02
you would take a big plate
of white rice and you eat it,
00:21:29.05\00:21:31.79
eat it, eat it, and you'll
still be able to go for what?
00:21:31.82\00:21:34.39
Seconds - like, "Ah, can
I get some more of this,"
00:21:34.42\00:21:36.99
you know, rice and peas or
just white rice with some more
00:21:37.03\00:21:40.16
of whatever other items that
you had accompanied with it,
00:21:40.20\00:21:43.00
but when you have brown
rice, if you've ever noticed,
00:21:43.03\00:21:45.43
when people are about
to serve the brown rice,
00:21:45.47\00:21:47.40
they are like, "WAIT,
just give me maybe a spoonful."
00:21:47.44\00:21:51.24
Now why are people so
afraid of the brown rice?
00:21:51.27\00:21:53.74
You know why they're afraid?
00:21:53.78\00:21:55.54
Because the brown rice
is actually a whole grain,
00:21:55.58\00:21:59.25
and you can't be
calling for seconds.
00:21:59.28\00:22:01.48
Why? Because when you eat
that whole grain, that fiber,
00:22:01.52\00:22:05.72
you remember I told you that
little part that they cut off
00:22:05.75\00:22:07.62
of the white rice -
that fiber, is indigestible.
00:22:07.66\00:22:11.13
What that means is - your body
can't, per se, break it down,
00:22:11.16\00:22:14.30
so what it does
is, it expands on you,
00:22:14.33\00:22:17.07
and then you start to get, what?
00:22:17.10\00:22:18.70
Full faster just by eating it.
00:22:18.73\00:22:22.37
So as a result, you may not
be calling for seconds, why not?
00:22:22.40\00:22:26.57
Because you are actually
fuller now and, as a result,
00:22:26.61\00:22:31.08
well, what is
that fiber going to do?
00:22:31.11\00:22:32.48
As it starts to pass
through and it expanded on you,
00:22:32.51\00:22:35.45
it's going to go
down the digestive tract,
00:22:35.48\00:22:37.85
and it's going to start
scrubbing down the walls,
00:22:37.89\00:22:40.26
you know, all of that glue
that I was telling you about.
00:22:40.29\00:22:42.69
We don't need to
detoxify the system,
00:22:42.72\00:22:44.26
the food will do
it naturally for you,
00:22:44.29\00:22:46.09
and that fiber will
start to pull it all out.
00:22:46.13\00:22:48.53
And people say, "How do
you know when it's coming out?"
00:22:48.56\00:22:50.50
Don't worry, your
body will tell you
00:22:50.53\00:22:51.87
because you'll be
running to the restroom.
00:22:51.90\00:22:53.47
And that's what happens
with the whole grain brown rice.
00:22:53.50\00:22:57.44
And I hope you all don't
mind that I'm talking about
00:22:57.47\00:22:59.47
you know, the
restroom and stuff like that
00:22:59.51\00:23:01.24
because it's very,
very important that we have
00:23:01.28\00:23:04.95
proper movement - y'all
know what I'm talking about.
00:23:04.98\00:23:07.42
I'm not talking about dancing.
00:23:07.45\00:23:08.78
I'm not talking
about exercising.
00:23:08.82\00:23:10.55
I'm talking about
proper movement of the bowels
00:23:10.59\00:23:14.06
there to go to the bathroom.
00:23:14.09\00:23:16.29
So what you do here is just
shake it up there a little bit.
00:23:16.32\00:23:20.23
If you notice, it's
starting to get a little brown.
00:23:20.26\00:23:23.77
As-a-matter-of-fact,
it will even smell like
00:23:23.80\00:23:25.43
popcorn a little bit
and so people enjoy doing it
00:23:25.47\00:23:28.40
this way... it
smells like popcorn.
00:23:28.44\00:23:30.31
You get it a little,
little, little brown,
00:23:30.34\00:23:32.44
not too much and this
will actually help us to cut
00:23:32.47\00:23:35.58
the cooking time
down on the brown rice.
00:23:35.61\00:23:40.32
So as you see, it's
getting rolling there.
00:23:40.35\00:23:42.78
Then I'm going to go
ahead and I'm going to take my
00:23:42.82\00:23:44.92
4 cups of water...
simple rule of thumb with
00:23:44.95\00:23:47.32
brown rice - for
every cup of rice,
00:23:47.36\00:23:49.66
then you add 2 cups of water.
00:23:49.69\00:23:51.03
Now it's nice and hot, so you're
going to get a little sizz...
00:23:51.06\00:23:53.66
there you go - now
that's what I'm talking about.
00:23:53.70\00:23:59.97
You all, who say you
don't cook brown rice,
00:24:00.00\00:24:02.14
from now on, you will
never be able to say that.
00:24:02.17\00:24:04.81
And you add a little bit
of salt there for flavor.
00:24:04.84\00:24:07.21
I know some people
would add a little bit of oil.
00:24:07.24\00:24:11.21
Some people would add garlic.
00:24:11.25\00:24:12.71
I mean, it's up to you,
I'm just going to make the
00:24:12.75\00:24:14.52
nice basic one that you can use.
00:24:14.55\00:24:16.69
You keep that on high.
00:24:16.72\00:24:18.25
You let that boil a little
bit, follow the instructions.
00:24:18.29\00:24:21.69
When it comes to a
simmer and it starts boiling,
00:24:21.72\00:24:24.03
then you put it on low.
00:24:24.06\00:24:25.59
You don't want to
interrupt it too much,
00:24:25.63\00:24:27.96
just trust and obey
because there's no other way
00:24:28.00\00:24:30.57
to be full and happy
unless you trust and obey.
00:24:30.60\00:24:34.14
So you're going to go ahead...
00:24:34.17\00:24:35.57
sorry I couldn't
sing it for you all...
00:24:35.60\00:24:36.94
you're going to go
ahead and you're going to
00:24:36.97\00:24:38.31
leave that there, let it boil up
a little bit, then you put it on
00:24:38.34\00:24:40.98
low heat and we don't have that.
00:24:41.01\00:24:44.05
It will be good for
about 30-45 minutes,
00:24:44.08\00:24:46.25
it should be ready and
this is one of the keys
00:24:46.28\00:24:48.52
to balancing your blessings
is following a schedule,
00:24:48.55\00:24:51.99
and we'll talk
about that another time.
00:24:52.02\00:24:53.82
And, I'll leave
that there for you,
00:24:53.86\00:24:55.72
but I already have a
finished product, okay.
00:24:55.76\00:24:58.69
And this is how it should
look there, let me get a little
00:24:58.73\00:25:02.00
fork so you all can all
can see the fluffiness of it.
00:25:02.03\00:25:05.27
As you see there, I
sprinkled some parsley
00:25:05.30\00:25:08.50
and a little paprika.
00:25:08.54\00:25:11.27
You all know what paprika is,
00:25:11.31\00:25:12.64
it's actually
dried red bell pepper,
00:25:12.67\00:25:16.28
and that is your
flaky brown rice!
00:25:16.31\00:25:19.61
No more excuses for not
being able to cook brown rice!
00:25:19.65\00:25:23.59
Why else is this good for
balancing those blessings?
00:25:23.62\00:25:25.92
#1- It's a whole grain, okay.
00:25:25.95\00:25:29.26
So we have a
whole grain item here.
00:25:29.29\00:25:31.43
#2- As we talked
about, that little
00:25:31.46\00:25:35.06
fiber that is indigestible,
so as it is not going to let
00:25:35.10\00:25:37.50
excess things hold on there
throughout the digestive tract.
00:25:37.53\00:25:40.70
#3- You eat less of it
because you get full faster.
00:25:40.74\00:25:44.04
But there are a couple
of other carbs that people
00:25:44.07\00:25:46.54
are afraid of and if you
take a look here with me...
00:25:46.57\00:25:49.04
What do we have here?
00:25:49.08\00:25:50.41
We have some bread, we
have some whole grain bread.
00:25:50.45\00:25:54.18
This is crucial, we need
to start buying some more
00:25:54.22\00:25:56.85
whole grain bread.
00:25:56.89\00:25:58.65
The simple rule of thumb
is that when you buy this
00:25:58.69\00:26:02.42
whole grain bread - that
it should only have about
00:26:02.46\00:26:05.23
3, 4, 5, maybe
maximum 6 ingredients.
00:26:05.26\00:26:08.50
Have you seen the
loaves of bread lately?
00:26:08.53\00:26:10.20
I mean, one whole side
of the loaf is ingredients!
00:26:10.23\00:26:13.64
And here's
another rule of thumb,
00:26:13.67\00:26:15.00
when you start
reading those ingredients,
00:26:15.04\00:26:16.50
if there is something on
there that you can't pronounce,
00:26:16.54\00:26:20.34
go ahead and just put it down.
00:26:20.38\00:26:22.08
There's an old rule...
"When in doubt, leave it out."
00:26:22.11\00:26:25.98
And that's what I
want everybody to do...
00:26:26.01\00:26:27.38
When you start
reading ingredients and stuff
00:26:27.42\00:26:29.18
at your supermarket, if
you don't know what that
00:26:29.22\00:26:31.39
means, just you
know... "exolcalalabosphate,"
00:26:31.42\00:26:34.99
I just made that up, don't worry
about it, don't look for it.
00:26:35.02\00:26:37.29
When you see stuff like
that, put it down because it's
00:26:37.33\00:26:40.30
probably no good for you, okay?
00:26:40.33\00:26:42.13
And so when you're going ahead
and looking at the ingredients,
00:26:42.16\00:26:45.83
it should only
have about 3 or 4 or 5,
00:26:45.87\00:26:48.60
maybe max 6
ingredients, not a whole list,
00:26:48.64\00:26:51.94
and so what we find is whole
grain wheat, whole grain flour,
00:26:51.97\00:26:57.51
whole wheat - these are the
items that you want to look for.
00:26:57.55\00:27:00.38
I even found, more
than likely, in most places
00:27:00.42\00:27:03.22
I find whole wheat
pita is pretty good.
00:27:03.25\00:27:05.59
They only have
a few ingredients.
00:27:05.62\00:27:07.56
So those are some of the items,
but there are some other carbs
00:27:07.59\00:27:09.99
that people are so afraid
of, and it's crucial that we
00:27:10.03\00:27:13.70
understand this.
00:27:13.73\00:27:15.06
There are two of my favorite,
I don't know about you all,
00:27:15.10\00:27:17.27
but maybe it's
your favorite too?
00:27:17.30\00:27:18.67
And one is potatoes, baked
potatoes and sweet potatoes.
00:27:18.70\00:27:23.77
Everybody is
afraid of the potatoes!
00:27:23.81\00:27:26.68
They always say, "Oh,
the potato is fattening!"
00:27:26.71\00:27:29.51
Now, poor potato
because it's my buddy,
00:27:29.54\00:27:32.61
and it's actually one of
the best friends of the stomach.
00:27:32.65\00:27:34.88
The poor potato gets the blame,
remember when we went over this.
00:27:34.92\00:27:37.85
The good guys get the blame!
00:27:37.89\00:27:39.22
It's not the
potato that was bad!
00:27:39.25\00:27:40.86
It was what we did to
the potato that was bad.
00:27:40.89\00:27:43.02
We baked it and it was healthy,
then we put so much stuff
00:27:43.06\00:27:46.19
on top of it which
caused the problem.
00:27:46.23\00:27:48.23
So most whole grain
items are actually GOOD!
00:27:48.26\00:27:50.97
All of them are good!
00:27:51.00\00:27:52.33
The problem is what we do to it.
00:27:52.37\00:27:53.84
So enjoy some flaky brown
rice and have a good time,
00:27:53.87\00:27:57.11
and let's balance
some blessings today!
00:27:57.14\00:27:58.77
