How are you?

I'm good, Kim, thank you for having me back again, it's great to see you, and why don't you fill our audience in a little bit on your mission and your work before we get to today's show topic.

Okay, well, my mission really is to try to get... To inspire as many people as I possibly can to just really realize that they can take charge of their health without really making so many drastic changes, everybody gets a little panicky when they're thinking about their goals and their fitness goals, whether it's weight loss or just body type of changes, and I think, Oh my God, it's gonna be so much hard work, so what I try to do is make it simple, easy steps, good, better, best mindset so that we can just really change the dynamics because honestly, we are the 48th country in health and wellness. And that's horrifying.

So I was like, We gotta change that, we gotta come back up to the top... Or Spain, is that in terms of a healthy nation?

Oh, I like that. I like your competitive attitudes or to that track attitude, right?

Exactly. tattoo to the top seat.Winning attitude.

Well, let's see, today we are talking about our favorite topics and... Wait less. And I'm gonna ask you so many questions about this. So, do diets work?

Well, unfortunately, if they did, we wouldn't be at 48th as far as the... Right, that's depressing at at 70% of our population are overweight, that's scary, and we're looking at children as well, and so I would say that even though the US alone spends 33 billion on consumer products for die pills and diets and fats and things of that nature, we're really, really lagging. And so I would say that the typical what we call fat or crash diets don't work, it's all about creating a lifestyle behind what you do for the rest of your life.

I think that's great. And when you mentioned kids, I think, Oh my gosh, of course, the smart phones and everything, but they just... It seems like they're brought up now just sitting behind a computer or just sedentary... Exactly. Lack of exercise, it's an awful... You see these little kids, unfortunately already setting themself up for later heart disease, obesity, and it's really sad because there's so much that you can do with just getting these kids active righteousness working at an app and trying to have it do it for you. Right.

Well, detoxing your body. Help you lose weight faster. Doing a detox.

Well, you know, I love detoxing and I'm very much of a seasonal detox, in fact, I'm on the detox. Now, for the second time this year, I'm looking at you.

Oh my gosh, wow. etcetera, that's the... And unfortunately, there's so much unseen toxins and that we're exposed to whether that's in our food, our air and our water, is that we really have to think about cleaning out the rest just so that our body functionality will work, so that when people do lose weight, their liver is supporting their weight loss, their kidneys, their bowel functions, because honestly, when you're losing weight, it's just not fat, you're losing your... Actually dumping toxins into the bloodstream, so being on a detoxification resume, where oftentimes you're doing detox shakes can replace a meal which is gonna be lower in calories as well. And often times you're going to be eliminating, I would say, not often, all the time, you're gonna be eliminating all allergenic foods, the potential can cause inflammation and weight gain as well, like eggs and gluten and dairy and starchy foods, or start to carbohydrates, and that's often times so oftentimes what happens, do you uncover these what we call mass allergens and people just start losing weight because of that, so I love doing detoxification and seasonal is my favorite.

So how long do your detoxification last, and on those... You mentioned your shakes, is that all you're doing is having some...

I know. That's what people get afraid of. Oh my gosh, you know, declares cleanings a little bit better way to looking at it.

No, so usually these protocols are set up with having a detox shake that has different type of amino acids to support what we call phase detoxification, we liquefy the toxins and phase one and a phase two, we excrete them out, so they usually have herbal formulas in there, to support that in immuno assets, and then they come along with little packets of pills that support obviously the liver and the kidneys as well, so it's usually a very structured from a one week to usually a 21-day regime.

So just depending on what the client is really willing to do, we know we all could do 21 days, but are we willing to do it?

So I kinda meet the patient where they're at in their capacity, and if they don't wanna detox a major detoxification, I just ask them to do a detox bats or even just little simple things like fiber drinks, anything, exercise that we can support their pathways of detoxification and that's a good point. And then, yeah, the addition of the fiber... I think eastleigh fiber.

No, definitely not.

Why is it harder to lose weight as you age, this makes me crematoria Ted. I'm like, Oh, another year older. And he is a harder and harder, isn't that...

Well, I'm 61 years old or not, and I probably weigh the same as I did when I was 18 years at one at this interview now. Totally, honestly, as we age, unfortunately, we're also losing our beautiful precious hormones, whether they're men and women, and so of course, as we start to lose the testosterone, we start to develop more estrogen, so they can turn over and create Wagga, men will get it in the Valley, women also after menopause will get it in the belly, but before menopause is usually in the lower part of their hips and their thighs, unfortunately, but of course, men have more muscle mass than we do starting out with, and so of course, it looks like when we go on a weight loss, I say, Oh man, they lose it so easy.

Yes, but in reality, it's just because since there's way, it's usually in the belly, it's more noticeable, but in the long-term, studies show that men and women lose weight equally in the long term, but just in the beginning, they do lose a little bit more because it's more noticeable, but I'd say it's hormonal related, honestly, less muscle as we age, less hormones, as we age, more stress, sedentary lifestyles, we start to use food as our drug of choice when we're not being motivated and being creative or having good intimate relationships. So again, it just sets up us for a little bit more access... Yeah, exactly, with all of what. You're just saying it. And I think, yeah, the hormones, I just talked to a woman yesterday about everything that the women go through as we go through the change of life, and so that all goes hand in hand. Emotional eating too. So it's what you were just talking about, and I think we're gonna touch further about that, but what approach is better when losing weight? And is it slow and steady? I think I know the answer, but I wanna hear it from you. It's a crash diet.

Right. Well, let's think about crash diet bad, a quick diet, so quick weight loss and quick regain, and unfortunately, when you're doing something drastic, the body is always in a preservation mode, and we're always looking as far as the body in of itself is the house a little bit more calories for famine.

So we have this regulation in terms of our hypothetical, us, but what it's comfortable with as far as its weight, and of course, our weight that we want is not usually that way, at least five or 10 pills. Less than that, right?

And so when you go into these crash diets or ever low carbohydrate diet, you lose a lot of weight, but most of that is water, and of course, it's very exciting in the first week because a lot of water is excreted, but along with that is muscle mass, so unfortunately, 90% of the people who go on diets gain their way back with between one and five years, so they absolutely don't work... And it's all about what I say, Slow and steady always wins the race. And at the same time, we really wanna make this a lifestyle approach, and that's what you said from the very beginning, and it's just once you start training yourself then, as you say, lasted into the race, how can we lose that weight if you're unable to exercise due to injuries or disabilities. Okay, we'll have a really good story. We did a show called The Dr. detectives show with Dr. canale, and we were interviewing this all real patients in regards to their treatment, I had a patient, he was actually, he just turned 70 and he didn't exercise and he had a couple of little injuries that I might have been a little bit on the excuse as well, but they were ballad. Okay, and so we definitely started out with just lowering his portions of what he ate again, slow and steady, good, better, best kind of mindset, and then we went into what we would consider a more Keto-adaptive program, where we're really teaching him how to actually use his fat for fuel. And when you do that, that's what happens, it regulates your appetite and you're not as hungry as you would normally be on, let's just say a normal macro plan, more equal portions.

But anyway, he lost 45 pounds, and we were so excited because of course this was on the show, so we had great resolve, and I just saw him yesterday, and he looks fantastic, so I said, I gotta take a picture of you with maybe 'cause you're in a continues, so now I said, No, the only thing is the exercise, and he said, Yeah, I'm motivated now and I... Okay, what is motivated you that didn't motivate you before, and he said, Well, my daughter's asked me to go on a hiking trip with her, and I said, Sure, I could do it. My wife looked at me like, I don't think so, right? And he said, Okay, that's it. I'm gonna just start walking every single day, so again, it really take the mindset of, why am I doing what I'm doing? And for him, it was, I wanna go on a trip with my daughter and spend some quality time with her, and this is motivated to him, but now he's feeling so much better, now we gotta get him to the gym so he can start to strengthening.

Right, but he says, I need to start pulling in some of this muscle back end... What a great story though. And did you say he's 70, 70.So it's awesome. So again, I would just say cut down your portions, being mindful, start to move and drink plenty of water and just, you know... Just think about how much you love yourself. And why are you doing what you're doing?

And I think one thing that really plays out in this is the minute you start to see a little bit of that weight come off, I think that's... First of all, maybe that is the first motivating factor, but then I don't know what that time frame was like from the time that he was on your show, about seven months, honestly, he didn't really said...

Yeah, so he's kept that off... Yeah, and he's doing fantastic. So I'm right behind him, I say, Okay, I'm your coach here.

They keep going to love, he's doing fantastic.

Well, we're all on his side there, I wanna see him hike that mountain.

So, is exercise necessary for weight loss and how many times a week... Well, you know, I think exercise is absolutely important for anything, because of the fact that it's going to increase your circulation, your Oxygenation is gonna be a way where you can detox by way, the pathway of your respiration or your skin, which is really important. stimulate lymphatic system, which is our internal shower, so imagine if you didn't take a shower, what would happen, you get a lot of gunk built up, and so that's why I would say, Why do I do detox? It's to clean the rust out of my body from the unknown, I need to really, really, really clean diet. But again, under stress, you get this biases of your guy, 24 hours can change the gut biome and there you start creating more toxins, and so I would say I love exercise because it gives you an opportunity to help you detoxify increases endorphins so that you feel a lot better about yourself. And again, when you are exercising, you starting to see the results with weight loss and with muscle math, it's even more exciting because you start to see your body back to where you want it to be, so I'd say for people, I always recommend if they could do 30 to 45 minutes to an hour a day would be awesome if they don't have that amount of time, then just break it up, whether it's at your lunch hour, is going out for a walk or doing some stairs is awesome, so anything... They can be more active is gonna be really important, and to do cross-training because we do the same old thing all the time, You... Your body adapts to have... And so I say that weight training is far more superior because you're actually creating muscle mass and when you're losing weight, you are... Even though you're losing fat, you are losing some muscle at the same time, there's no way you can go about isolating just one category of weight loss, so the wage training really helps to hold on lean muscle tissue, and I find it a better way to keep your weight off because your calories, because you burn calories more effectively, 'cause you have a higher metabolic rate, so I'd say If you could do three days a week, weight training would be awesome. And then the rest of the week, you could kind of whether it's getting in touch with nature and hiking and biking and swimming when it's a good weather, running, just getting out there in nature and just looking at the glory that God has given us in its beautiful landscape and fresh air. And so I'd say if you could do five, six days a week would be just perfect, right.

We can do that, that would be awesome. And you're right, we lived here in Southern California, but if you're not, but you just try to find the best of what God has given us, and I would just say, Look, you just... You can do... See, Palo don't feel if you feel sick, just do something, I don't care if it's 10 minutes of breathing or just balance and shake, but if you do nothing, then that starts to build a platform for not being motivated to what exercise at all. 'cause that's a good... People don't like the exercise.

So let me ask you a question about the running versus like power walking, because a lot of times, I don't know, I'm married to a runner and he's like, You're walking is not doing anything, but I like the power walk and that I ever... Will I ever be able to graduate to running or feeling like I'm making a difference if I'm power walking? Well, power walking is awesome, I like hitch Training, a high-intensity training, so go fast maybe for like, let's just say 80% of your capacity for a minute, and then go medium speed for three minutes, so you kinda go fast life, that to me is one of the better ways to actually lose weight, long distance running and running, it can actually break down lean muscle tissue, and if you ever see a sprint or the... But it's beautiful legs, nucleon distant Tran, they got these skinny legs 'cause their bodies breaking down lean muscle tissue for energy. And so I would say that your power walking is awesome, but I would probably add Hills to it, and that way you can start to get what we call an oxygen deficit, and then then your body's gotta use fat to replenish what you were deficit. Why you were moving. Okay, good point.

Here's this question that I wanted to ask you about is emotions and what do they have to do with weight gain that's eating and... And people like, Well, I love to talk about emotions because I say that your emotions dictate your chemistry, so I have a huge amount to do it when my patients are in high stress, they're in high cortisol, and cortisol is a storage hormone. And so again, when you get in a fight and fight situation, two things happen, your body thinks you need to run, fly and fight, so it releases a glycogen, a glucose out of the muscle fibers for instant energy. So let's just say you're sitting at your desk really stressed out and your body thinks, Okay, it's a flight and fright response, I dump glucose into my system, but there's nothing I'm doing, I'm not running or fleeing, so now you've got cortisol in there, which is a slight and fright hormone and glucose. So what's gonna happen? Cortisol is gonna oppose glucose, and then all of a sudden you're gonna be insulin-resistant over time and then start creating weight gain.

Now, the problem with these up and down surges of stress is that after the stress is over, when your body wants you to replant is the glucose that had dumped into the system, and that that sets you up for cravings, but it doesn't set you up for cravings, like a piece of chicken, it sets you up for Queens, like a piece of fruit or a cookie, or chips or crackers, things of that nature. Depending on your stressors, I always have a good saying, I say, You know, when you are stressed out, you want salt and crunchy foods because that's an adrenal food, right?

If you are feeling like you need some love in your life, you want dairy products, ice cream, cheese, all that, Casey morphine, and when you feel like, Oh, I haven't been noticed, I haven't been acknowledged. You want chocolate for the dopamine and the magnesium, I would say... Let's talk about emotions. I'm gonna just tell you what you crave or the God, you know that I said, because your body is always trying to create a homeostasis, so that you're always gonna feel good mindset, in case we get the credit to or coming to chase that, we gotta be able to run and be motivated to do it, So emotions play a huge role, and unfortunately, we live in a time where... It's just an incredible amount of stress. That's honest. We do too much in a day. It's ridiculous. I've lived in four different countries, and I've never had to live at this pace as I do here in the United States, I was born here, but at the same time, you really appreciate these other countries that actually take time out to connect or to actually have a lunch where you're not going 100 miles and a hard... Right, to get to the next patient. Things of that nature.

So yeah, so I think that it's just really important to just look at the overall impact of how you think and how you wanna love yourself, because Julia say if you truly love yourself, are you really willing to desecrated the temple of your body by eating junk food and all these foods that you know that are carcinogenic... Why would you do that?

Right, right, right.

So I think that it's really important. I really try to get people to also have an emotional baseline, so once they lose their way, we want them to recognize their new person, they don't need to have to be fearful that they're gonna go back to their all ways of being because they've learned so much more now, 'cause they're afraid like, Oh my gosh, I've always never been able to keep my weight off a pogo back to it, so I really work with them on visualization, okay, now this is a... Or initial goal, this is what you look like. I say You can't manifest anything that you can't see in your mind's eye or even know how it feels to feel it, and so I really try to get my patients to work on visualization every single day, even when they're at their... What we call their goal weight, it's just like I just wake up and I do this whole meditation on every single cell in my body is beating bath with vitality and energy, and so you get into the mindset of really creating what your mind... I can see, Wow, I'm gonna get your number and I'm gonna call you... Have you call it?

No, this is great. It's true, it's a old visual or you have to visualize and then not live it. So this is all great information, Liliana, we write back. We have to take a quick break. Stay with this.

And now back to our interview with certified clinical nutritionist Liliana Parthia, and thank you so very much. It's so very interesting, we're talking about weight loss and how to keep it off, and Liliana, what is the best diet for weight loss? The million dollar question, yes, I'm listening. Well, honestly, in my experience, I believe that it's all about a healthy lifestyle, and so what I like to do is I like to get people's metabolism working correctly. So I like to do what we call a keto adaptive diet.

Now, I work with a lot of cancer patients, and one of the things that they do significantly when they're on this diet is lose a lot of weight, so I started utilizing the diet for my weight loss patients and of course, treated it a little bit differently, 'cause they're able to exercise more than a patient that is under more restrictive community issues, but the ketogenic diet is all about getting the patient to be able to use fat as a source of fuel, and it's really our primal blueprint, that's how we were meant to live. As cave people, we hunted, we Gorge, we ate, and there was days that we didn't eat, and so our body was really good at storing fat, and so our private blueprint is to be able to utilize that when there is not enough food. But unfortunately, that's not the time we live in, and so what I like to do is I like to base it on how many calories that they learn, and I usually women 12 to 1500, usually in men, anywhere between 170 to 2000 calories.

So I have a machine that tells me this is how many calories that this person burns at baseline, and then I use that number and I do their nutrients, so I'll do 20% of what they consume in protein, which is moderate, which is great, because most people that are on a weight loss are not growing anymore, and so we don't need to... The amount of protein that we need in reproductive state, then I bring their carbohydrate levels down to the lowest denominator as possible.

Now, a ketogenic diet is 5% of your tolled calories, which is really, really severe, and most patients or people in general cannot last on it North should they... 'cause it's very hard on the kidneys, but it's a good way to kickstart them and to having that real motivation, because when you bring their carbohydrates down so low, it forces the body to send store fat to the liver, tournament to ketone proteins, the support metabolism and brain function, so actually, they're not even hungry because it makes them feel a sense of... Says they can go on to a little bit more of a restrictive in regards to some of the foods that we've taken out, like their breads and the grains and things of that nature that are... In my opinion, anything that expands, like rice and bread and things like that expand, we're gonna expand your waste line, period, in how I enlisted men, that anything that shrinks is gonna shrink your waist line, if you put a whole Trae vegetables in the oven, and when you pull them out, it's half of a tray when you cook spinach, it's 10 cups to a copied, you cook washrooms, they shrink. So I said Anything that shrink is gonna shrink your waist line, anything that expand is gonna expand your waste line, anything that's better is gonna be low carbohydrate, low and sugar, anything that sweet is gonna be higher, and sugar, which is gonna potentially gain more weight as well, so I really am very, very fond of a ketogenic approach, and so I might start my patients off depending on their willing, it's 'cause there's no one size-fits all, and that if they're willing to be a little bit more in the ketosis pace in the beginning, maybe even for a three-week to 1 month period, and then I put them on a little bit more carbohydrates so that it's more sustainable over a long period of time, once they reach their goal weight, then we can do what we call re-feeds, 'cause patients will always say, Well, can't I cheat? And I said, Well, you know, if you cheat, what we're trying to do is go into what we sugar rehab, alright?

So if you're gonna cheat, you're gonna go right back to being a sugar addict, and it's gonna set you up for cravings, and also when you take out these expansive foods that hold a lot of water in, what happens is your body has to regulate its plasma and so if you eat something like if you haven't had bread for a while and you eat bread or eat sushi rice, your body has to have water, it has to change the water over so you get water retention, so everybody's gonna gain weight and they're like, Oh my god, I just ran three pounds, all was lissie, didn't wait three pounds, and I said, Well, your body is diluting the pollute, and also those are water-content foods, so I believe that a form of the ketogenic diet is one of my best ways that I can get the weight loss of... And then in the long term, give them refs, let's say, Monday through Saturday, or Monday through Friday, they are really clean with super low carbohydrates and on the weekend, they just have better quality of carbohydrates, they don't go to eating junk foods because really... Why do we wanna do that? That would be kind of counter-productive as far as healthy living, but let's say they wanna have a yam or they wanna have some but many white rice, or they wanna have something that's a little higher and sugar, I still gear them towards all of the gluten-free and foods that are gonna be less toxic, then they can get away with that, and then once they're at their baseline for a long enough period of time, then the body remembers, Oh, this is my new way, because when you lose weight, your body has a regulation system that's always gonna want to fight you to get you to put your weight back on for famine food, and this is why people, when they go on these really restrictive diets, like I just... When I went on a detox diet in the beginning of the year, it was very restrictive 'cause I was doing colon cleansing, so for five days I didn't eat any food, but I did this Ben tonight slim has Clay, I was full because of the fiber, but boy, I lose a lot of weight, more weight than I wanted to lose, but boy was I in a simply hungry afterwards. I said, Well, this is fun, Portway back on, but for people who don't wanna put that way back on, it's a big problem 'cause it dysregulated, the hypothalamus wanna eat more food and we eat more food, so... Yeah, I like the ketogenic approach, it's my favorite, and I get the best results with that in a modified version, I do modify...

I know like the way you say, it's kind of like the kick start to just get everything on, it really helps 'cause people love it, they're like, Oh my gosh, I'm... I... On his 5 pounds every week, I don't know.

So that was water, but it really motivated you... Right, right.

A good motivator, how can you keep your weight off after you've reached to your weight Law School? You did touch on that a little bit, so... And so, you know, the most important thing is that you really kinda wanna have some accountability, so I like food logs because if I'm aware of what I'm eating, I'm mindful eating, and then also too, they can kinda notice, Okay, well, gosh, I gained a little weight.

Oh yeah, you know, I had went out to dinner a few times and I had Brad and I had sushi and I had this... So they start to realize where they're starting to increase, and so they might have to down regulate some of the sugar food diets and or maybe they're reading too many calories because now they're eating a whole bag and hat because things of that nature. So I get it, you don't monitor themselves, which is always good, you don't have to weigh themselves in really day because that's kind of redundant and kind of... I would say it's like the stock market, one minute you're rich in the next minute your port, we don't wanna be or how we feel on a daily basis with our mood on that, I say, Well, yourself once a week, same day, every day. And if you see that things are kind of shifting in the wrong direction, make sure that you're moving a lot more, maybe you're lacking an exercise, maybe you need to change your exercise, maybe you're not drinking up water, maybe you're not sleeping well, maybe you have too much stress, you know, what can we do to alter that meditation, Emotional Freedom Techniques. So I teach them all of these tools so that they have a way that's not only monitor where they're at, but then also tools to say, Okay, I better re-navigate and get back on board because... Yeah, I've been a little lax here, that's great. And again, just all of your tools that you're giving all of us, even that meditation and a outright... Absolutely.

Do you have to starve yourself to lose weight, you've also talked to that kick-start... Well, you do not have to start with... In fact, I do like fasting for a little short period of time just to do a real serious house claiming and to also give all the organs a break, but I never use upper weight loss ever because you will gain back that way. And then even when I do detoxification, for me, it's not for weight lose, it's just a clean house, and so a starvation diets are not good, they dysregulated, your left and response and then your body wants to put that weight back on fiercely and oftentimes more... So we definitely don't wanna do that when I... About intermittent fasting and is that good for you on... For weight loss, yeah, I like intimidating. Because again, when you go back to the Primal Blueprint, we didn't get to eat all the time at our luxury, and so think about it this way, is that our body starts to slow down after a specific time of the night, and so I always say in the afternoon is when you have the most metabolic fire, so that your biggest meal should be in the afternoon, like let's just say at lunch time, and then our body starts to decline a little bit in our capacity to use calories or... Not so busy running around, and so that should be the smallest meal now, if I stop eating, let's just say somewhere around 70 O'clock at night, my body has enough glucose stored in its muscle fibers for about a 12-hour period or so... Okay, and so at night, between 10 and 20 o'clock, or between 10 and 1-30 in the morning till two, your body uses the most fat for fuel to repair itself, but we'll only use it if you don't have insulin in your blood.

So if I take an evening snack, like let's just say an apple, or I take a piece of cheese, something of that nature, then I have to stimulate insulin, which is the vehicle that drives those calories into the cell wall, it's a storage hormone.

So if as insulin is in my blood when I go to sleep instead of using fat for fuel, I'm gonna resort to use MUSCLE Prue, which will decline my metabolism of my ability to burn calories in the first place. And so I like to say, Okay, let's stop eating at 7-30, and if you have now become fat-adapted, which means I actually am burning fat for fuel that I have the patients go, because after that seven hours of that 12 hours, this is... Say they stop eating at 7, 7 o'clock in the morning. Their body is looking for food, it's like, feed me, right?

And so that's really the time when the body goes into a really nice ketosis, so I say instead of eating, let's have what we call... And David asper coin is, this is one of his discoveries, is a bulletproof coffee, and that's adding table... Spun a coconut oil. He uses a table spoon of grass-fed butter, I use two tables of cream 'cause it's just a liquid, broader organic whipping cream, which everybody love, and you throw that in the blender with some cinnamon for your blood sugar and lost even it's like a beautiful cup of China, but it's got 230 calories and fat doesn't stimulate insulin, but it gives your brain and your metabolism enough calories so that it doesn't use your muscle, so it's wonderful. So then again, you don't feel hungry because of the caffeine, cut your hunger, you've got calories, your brain says, Okay, you're okay for a couple of hours. So then you have almost a 14 to 17-hour period. I think everybody should at least wait for at least for several hours before they wake up to eat, eat when you're really are in grade or Garrett.

I love intermittent fasting and increases your mitochondria creation, white blood cell capacity, we have our patients do it for the chemotherapy, it's anti-aging, so I like doing... Interacting a lot.

Wow, there's so many good reasons to do that, you just... Throughout that little coffee recipe, and do you have that... Do you have that listed summertime retail.

I have a cooking YouTube channel because so many of my patients, I'm sitting there and counsel with them, I'm talking about this too, they're like, Oh my gosh, I... You have a cook book, I go... The closest thing I'm gonna be able to do for right now is a cooking channel, so it's great because everything that's on there is all kinda Iver, so there's no gluten or anything like that to do it, so he's gonna fit all diets, and I've got all those recipes, and I've got it. I'm always doing Instagram and Facebook and all kinds of good stuff to just put as many recipes out there to motivate people for delicious eating that we don't need to give up flavor.

I love that, and I love that you talk about all of the aspects that go into and why you say it's organic or what... It's in the cinnamon. We talked about Simon before, but throw it out there right now and then we'll put it out there in your YouTube channel. What is it?

So it's just lily on a patina, and then the sensational living is the cooking channel, so this can just go on to YouTube, the lay on a party sensational living, and they should be at least 32. and we're gonna be doing a whole lot more 'cause I'm getting ready to launch a keto stacking system, which will be a two-month live webinar lifestyle. So it's gonna be awesome. I'm really excited about Angolan.

Thanks. So how important is it to eat organic foods to lose weight?

Well, think about it this way, okay, they put those pesticides on to kill things, right, and then we ingest them and they can create carcinogens in our body, and so again, they're just highly polluting to us, and so... I'd say it's super important. Not only gonna get more minerals as far as the ionians are concerned, but at the same time, we're not gonna be laden with all of these pesticides and glyphosate that can be hormonal disruptors and cause us to gain more weight as well as... That we call them obese gene because they mimic hormones and create us a weight gain as well, so I say organic is if you can do it, especially things that are sin skinned, your apples, your lettuce is the cucumbers and things like that. It's really, really important.

What about hydration? Does that play a... Hydration is imperative, and of course, as we age where we have less capacity to hold water as a baby, you're probably 70% is probably at my age and maybe only 50% of what I... Have you, but it's essential, 'cause even just 2% dehydration can impair weight loss, and of course, when you drink, oftentimes you are a hydrating and you have a sense of Satan, most people are actually craving, but really they're thirsty. So I just say, You don't have plastic, but have a water bumble around always. We don't want plastic because one of the pilots in them and just be sipping all the time and what happens with people and even myself, if it's not in front of me, I don't drink, but if it's they're all discipline between my patients and reminds my talking and all of a sudden I realized, and I like to put it in jars, so they have 32 ounce Macon jars and I have two... I've done it for the day, whether I put limit in it or some herbal tea in it, something that makes it more appealing to drink, I think it's very, very important for all aspects of the lymphatic system, your skin... Everything and how the body functions.

Good points. A little half of your body weight in ounces. So that's what you gotta drink or... Water. Okay, degradation.

What about pre-diabetes or insulin resistance that... Does that play a role in weight gain... It does, for the simple fact, again, when you're resistant to allow your body to take in the very calories that you're consuming, then what happens is that you end up storing them in fat cells, whether it's proteins or carbohydrates, unfortunately, people think they can eat all the protein they want like in a Paleo mindset, but more protein that your body can actually utilize will actually get converted in the liver, it's called glaciation, and we'll send those calories into the past Selena sugar.

So we tell patients a modern amount, like the palm side of the maximum of protein intake, and... So I would say that it's really important to just kind of say to yourself, I'm all about balance, I don't wanna go too far in one direction or too far in in another direction, I wanna just to create a nice area... Plenty of variety of foods, but with the mindset of which ones like me, which ones don't give me bloating gas and heartburn and weight gain, those don't like me. Okay, and just be really conscious about that and know how your body feels, to know how your body field... Are there medical markers that our labs that can prevent us from slow weight or weight loss, it can support us.

Absolutely. The fortunate thing is I work in a medical facility, so I am privy to all of the labs, so basic CBC panel, we're looking at liver functions is very important because the liver is essential in weight loss, so if you have a fatty liver, we can see that through ultrasound, not necessarily through lab work, you won't be able to lose weight as well, if your intercity TEM is down your thyroid or your adrenal glands, again, that runs your metabolism, you might have high cortisol levels, which forces you to hold on to... Wait more because of the cortisol and the sugar cravings, so it's really important to address your intricate system, to address your hormones, especially for women who are menopause situation, they need hormones to maintain their skin in terms of the elasticity of it, also the testosterone, so they don't get Sagi skin when a women say The Drape skin is the worst curse ever. Right, but I like the CRP, which I see Reactive Protein, thyroid markers for all the basic markers, the adrenals for the cortisol, homocysteine for people who have heart issues. And let's see what else would be good. Insulin markers, those are all really great, great markers to use, and a lot of doctors... That's not standard practice. So you have to ask a bit, vitamin D3 is the social.

Okay, and then last question, how important is the body-mind connection to weight loss, we talked a little bit about this, and also is it that accountability?

So accountability is really important. And it's so funny 'cause the patients will come to me, they say, Oh, I knew I was coming here, so I've been really good, right. I go, Well, what have you been before... Right, but so again, it's like when you know that someone is going to be measuring and commenting, you're a lot more strict, and this is why these Jenny Craig or the Weight Watchers work is it's not what they offer, because a lot of the packaged food, as we know is devised and chemical lied and so forth, but what Verses that they have the accountability. And they have a support and group support. So I tell patients, you don't need to go out and join a group, but what you need to do is enlist a friend or your husband or somebody that you can kind of have an accountability partner, and then of course, they always have me as a coaching of accountability partner as well. So it's really important. And as far as the mindset, if we have a critical voice and we're always blaming ourself... Oh, I ate that. Oh, you're horrible. Oh my God, you know the basic human person is guilt wants punishment, and that means weight gain, so again, I just say, look it, if you get something, bless it, eat it and get on with your next meal, we're gonna say that's gonna make you gain weight faster if I sit there and go, Oh my God, I shouldn't be a net, 'cause then you've just got all these hormones that are flooding your system, so the critical voice is really important, so I always tell have patients, if you're listening to a voice in your head that doesn't make you feel good.

You ask you three things, you say, Number one, what benefit is it for me to be thinking this at this time? Number two, how do I know it's true? And give me an example of it.

Mm-hmm. Okay, and oftentimes, it's a made up story in your own head, so I get people to just say, to identify, because that's not spirit speaking to you, that's your ego dipping into your hurts and wounds and say, No, we'll remember last it... I know you just gain all your way back and denied, now you're always gonna be fat, blah, blah, blah, and that's not Spirit-speaking spirit would say, Oh yeah, you really blew it because you learn so much, didn't you now the next time you're not gonna eat that food, because you got bloating, gas and Harper, that didn't feel like... Oh, right, right.

So again, I would say, Well, this voice... Are you listening to... So I really work with people on really being mindful about what their mind is speaking to, what story are they telling themselves, that's making them feel... Because they're reacting from that point of view, right, oh my gosh, it's such a great advice and you know what, you can use that outside of your just a 10%To A... So it's kind of like, Thank you.
