So I really had no intention of this smoothie matching my shirt exactly, look at that.
How cool is that?
Cravings.
We crave things throughout the day right?
I know you’re dealing with it.
I’ve had clients in the past, I remember this client I had his name is Mike.
I flew out to his house when I first started FitLife TV and this man actually had to put
a chain on his refrigerator.
2:00 in the morning he had this habit, he would wake up every single morning and he
would go and get some ice cream.
Cravings can control us however, we can get control of those cravings if we know how to
deal with them.
Cravings can be the emotional or psychological stress that we deal on a day to day basis.
It’s the person that goes to work and then comes home every single night and have a glass
of wine.
What first started out as a craving became a habit and their habit has kicked in and
they’ve been doing over and over and over again so they’re getting anywhere between
200 – 250 extra calories every single day from that one glass of wine.
Got to figured out where that emotional and psychological stress is coming from.
If it’s from a job that you don’t really like doing and you’re not fulfilled when
you do it and its leading you to change your state when you get back to your house or that
transitionary period people like to say, it’s like when I get home I need that transition
from the hardcore mom that’s at work all day long into the relaxed person that I know
I am and that wine is gonna help me get there.
Let me tell you something that wine is not gonna help you get to where you wanna be specially
when it comes to your fitness and health goals.
Now I’m not an advocate to say you can’t drink right?
I think everything should be done I moderation however, if you do it every single day you
and I need to have a talk.
Chocolate is another thing.
Maybe you’ve seen our food swap video on the past where we take 25 different things
and we swap it up for the healthier version?
If you haven’t seen that I’m gonna leave a link below this video, you can check that
out after this but chocolate usually is a magnesium deficiency.
So what you’re really craving for on a cellular level is more magnesium.
Go figure 70% of the country is actually chronically deprived of magnesium and you probably knew
that magnesium is responsible for over 400 chemical transactions in your body.
If you’re the type of person that’s getting the headache day in and day out, you’re
wondering why?
You may wanna start with just adding magnesium to your daily regimen.
So what you wanna do is to more effectively deal with the stresses of life.
So what do you stressed out about?
Write it down on a piece of paper so if you’re the type of person that is drinking the glass
of wine or having an ice cream every night, you wanna change your fitness goals.
How do you need to be 90 days from now?
Write that down.
What does it look like?
What does it feel like?
We talked about that new identity process right?
You haven’t seen that video to identity breaks it all down for you.
It’s in our coaching program.
We’re actually given a coach to hold you accountable along the whole way.
You have a community of people that are dealing with exactly what you’re dealing with.
Let’s talk about this smoothie recipe.
I could go on and on and on for cravings all day long.
If you need more information feel free to check out FitLife.TV.
We have tons of resources and information there that’ll help you.
The food swaps like we talked about.
In this recipe in particular, what I wanted to do is I wanted to put a harness around
those taste buds in your mouth right?
Train your taste to trim your waist, so to speak.
To do that, cinnamon is absolutely amazing.
If you’re trying to avoid sugar, if you’re not eating as much sugar as you usually do,
put a little cinnamon on it coz it’s gonna change the flavor.
It’s gonna give you that satisfaction that your taste buds are gonna love.
Maybe you’ve seen recently my night time snack video where I talked about if I’m
really hungry at night before I go to bed, I pop seven of these bad boys in my mouth.
It helps curve the cravings before bed, helps satiate that hunger what you really want is
that fat from the nut.
I got a whole handful of romaine lettuce and the reason we chose romaine is there’s a
chemical in here that’s help your body satiate its hunger.
Send’s a trigger to the brain that says I’m full.
So I have a cup of raspberries.
We wanna sweetened it up but we also wanna get fat as well which is why I have the blueberries
right?
Put a little coconut flakes in this as well.
It’s gonna give us a little texture change in the fat.
The saturated fat in particular in coconuts is amazing for curbing cravings.
I also have a little plant based protein.
This is actually hours.
We’re coming out with this soon.
I love the taste of it.
It’s better than any plant based protein that you have ever had in your life.
So I’m excited for you to try this as well and then also we have a Great Lakes Collagen.
This is loaded with protein.
It’s gonna help heal the gut when we help the gut we’re helping long term fix those
crave right?
And then also I’m gonna take about a handful, something like this and no I’m not gonna
throw it over my back and wish for good luck.
I’m actually gonna take the Celtic Sea salt and add it to my juice, to my smoothie because
it’s loaded with minerals.
It’s gonna help the body be more bioavailable as well when we have all this nutrients.
So let’s bring it in, let’s make this smoothie!
So I don’t have any almond milk but real simple and easy I’m gonna grab a handful
about twenty almonds and I’m throwing it in water just like this in my Blendtec blender.
If you guys buy to make Blendtec this is the best blenders there are.
So I mix this up about 15 seconds once I have my almond milk as you can tell, it looks absolutely
delicious.
I have my cinnamon, just a little pinch, cup of raspberries, cup of blueberries.
I got my coconut flakes, you could add this to the top as a garnish to make it a little
bit sexier actually why don’t we do that?
And then also we have a romaine lettuce.
We have our plant based protein.
Little bit of salt, a collagen, I wanna teaspoon of collagen in this as you can tell.
Alright here we go.
Hmm, great combination.
