hello wellness lawyers by the end of this video you're going to know exactly what to do
consistently to lose weight and to stay healthy by doing one simple action and i think you're
going to agree with me when i say that we felt our healthiest when we were children we had energy to
play all day we just healed so much better than we do as adults sometimes taking weeks and months to
heal from things as i think about it actually it's kind of scary we had great hair and skin
our weight was typically perfectly on the chart i would say for the most part little children
are so healthy because we take care of them right we make sure that we feed them properly and make
sure that they are meeting their milestones so we're teaching them i want to make sure that
they can walk and run and play and talk and do all the things that kids are supposed to be able to do
when they get their doctor's appointments we want to see that they've hit those milestones
i remember when my daughter was born and went to our first doctor's appointment she was
significantly underweight and i went into a panic um i was timing how long she was breastfeeding for
and then i was supplementing even on top of that and all i could see was that i was going to get
her back to a healthy weight although i wasn't concerned about scream time for my daughter
i made sure that she had plenty of time outside
she wasn't allowed to have junk food until the age of four and she began doing gymnastics when
she was still in daycare i wanted her to be strong and i wanted her to be well socialized
and she was i did a good job i think in getting her to the stages that i wanted to get her to
and while parents have the ability to control everything that their kids do the kids benefit
the most i benefited the most when my parents were controlling all the stuff that i was doing then
you have those teenage years that hit and then your parents don't have the same level of control
so my daughter's a teenager now and i don't have that ability to just tell her what to do but what
i did do is i started to teach her some of those life skills like like i started teaching her that
when she was much younger like now she knows how to cook some stuff for herself she knows how to
i'm teaching her how to manage her money a little bit and what's interesting though is now that she
knows how to make pasta and cook hot dogs and make eggs next thing you know that when a supper time
she's already and therefore doesn't sit down with us sometimes by the time that they're going to be
entering higher education we're encouraging them to get jobs we're encouraging them to study hard
of course they're going to spend time with their their girlfriends or boyfriends
and obviously they're going to have less and less time at home for supper because
they're off at school working or with their respective spouses
when they're actually off on their own so when i was off on my own and i was working hard
working late exhausted by the time i got home i remember often throwing a frozen pizza in the oven
just because i didn't have the time to cook and i didn't have the energy to cook i realized it
was not healthy but healthy wasn't even on the radar for me at the time i wasn't thinking healthy
i was i wasn't even thinking about having fun as a matter of fact all i was focused on was that
i needed to pay my bills and keep everything afloat and that meant my health was suffering
there have been many times in my life when i've decided to focus on improving my health and
usually it's by getting more exercise and eating better but then we go back to this problem that
since i hate to cook so one of my go-to solutions was my mom um she had no problem cooking for me
you know yay moms so if i was willing to pop by for supper several times a week i could get a meal
that was was much more healthier than the frozen meal that i would grab from the freezer and throw
in the oven even though these meals were frozen single serving portioned out controlled meals
that i was buying to try to like stay reasonable in what i was eating
it wasn't enough to really solve my health problems because my mom's food was there but i was
still eating these other foods that were totally processed garbage and for me my joints were
getting more and more inflamed and my weight was starting to rise eventually by the end of all this
chaos with the food that i was eating the fact is the real solution that was actually going to work
so what you guys have been waiting to find out like what's that solution it was cooking
for myself and here's the thing i didn't start cooking for myself until i really understood
that the quality of the food that i was eating actually mattered knowing that the carb count
had such an important role to play in how healthy i was feeling or actually i wasn't feeling that
all of that joint pain was being caused because i was eating too much sugar that's what turned me
around and that's what made me start to think about the fact that i need to cook for myself
right because by getting my pain under control i'd have a happier healthier life now
it also ended up regulating my weight because when i was healthier my body was able to regulate my
weight cooking was the cooking is the solution now i started this process because i was in
pain and i really wanted to end the pain so i wasn't focused on what i would get to eat
as much as i was focused on finding out what foods were contributing to my pain and then getting rid
of them but for many people you're coming to keto because you want to lose weight i keep hearing
keto described as a great weight loss diet a great quick fix diet a great diet in the sense of
something you do short term to accomplish a goal and because your concern is losing weight what you
end up eating matters much more and how you make it matters and so now we're back to this idea or
we're finding this idea that we want recipes we want to find ways to cook things because obviously
if i hate the food on the diet that i'm doing to lose weight i'm not going to stick to it and
this is the reality for most people who've ever started a diet trying to lose weight
and quit before they accomplish their goal we cut off all of the fun foods we love to eat and eat
low fat tasteless foods and suffer all the way to maybe my goal maybe quit before i get to my goal
but the problem is that even if i reach that healthy weight i'm not gonna stay eating this
tasteless garbage and so i end up regaining the weight it just doesn't the whole idea of dieting
doesn't sound interesting at all i'm asking you to think about the fact that we're not just
okay we don't end up looking for just any recipes because this diet idea of dieting is
so repulsive to us we want to find fun recipes we want recipes that are healthy versions of
the garbage foods that we were eating before and it doesn't work and it's so it's so weird to me
because cooking is the answer eating less than 20 grams of carbs is the answer these are such simple
ideas and yet they're so hard to implement because we want to eat what everyone else is eating
and still be healthy and still be thin and i started my kilo journey making keto breads and
making keto desserts and i wanted to be able to like if i had keto bread i could make a hamburger
and have hamburger with the family if i had a keto cake i could celebrate my birthday when everybody
else was celebrating or celebrate someone else's birthday by eating my own keto version cake and
the problem was that if i couldn't do that i felt like there was something wrong with me so
like this idea that i have to do what you're doing or something's wrong with me but in fact
there's nothing wrong with me what i didn't realize was that no one was actually doing it
metabolic syndrome goes undiagnosed for years because the symptoms are mostly unnoticeable
until they can't be ignored so you don't notice the symptom until you feel sick because of the
symptom so with the exception of abdominal obesity so that extended stomach that we have
all the other symptoms like a bmi over 25 well i actually have to sit down and calculate that
number to know if i have a bmi of 25 which can i tell you i mean i don't do that triglycerides
that are high i need a doctor to tell me if my triglycerides are high i need to get a blood test
low hdl cholesterol again i need a blood test to figure that out high blood pressure i would need
my doctor to take my blood pressure because most of us don't have a blood pressure machine at home
unless you happen to sit at the one at the pharmacy but most people don't do that because
you don't even think that you could possibly have high blood pressure high fasting blood glucose
again something that needs to be tested and measured increase blood clotting you're not
going to know that unless you have a blood clot insulin resistance can i say that most people who
go to the doctor and have blood tests taken who are actually overweight by a significant amount
are still not told that they have insulin resistance when being overweight is the easiest
sign to know that you have insulin resistance basically these signs of metabolic syndrome and
metabolic metabolic problems you're not going to know you have them so you're not going to
know to look for them and so they they're kind of not talked about until your doctor brings it up
because some blood test showed them that there was an issue i'm asking you to look at cooking
as the way that you're going to help yourself be healthy and get to your healthy weight now luckily
for me for my laziness it kicked in and i was able to see something really amazing about cooking
because when i accepted that eating for my health was more important than eating like everybody else
i was able to see the fact that in my history for the majority of the time i actually ate three
side dishes i had pasta rice or fries now when i was a little kid
it wasn't always fries it was other vegetables but of course when you become an adult or a
teenager an adult and you can do whatever heck you want vegetables got replaced by fries now some
people will call that a vegetable other people don't i don't call that vegetable the point is
when i noticed that that's what was happening i had three side dishes well the solution became
crystal clear as long as i had three healthy side dishes that could go beside whatever type of
meat or fish or eggs or whatever protein source i chose to eat that was my solution
i only needed three things because most of the time i had one of those three things
now what's hilarious is that in fact there are more than three types of healthy vegetables
and or salads that i can have and if i combine the vegetables and the salad so if i have
both on any pre then i even have more variation to my meal my meal can be as complex or as simple
as i'd like it to be now of course i opt for simple which helps me to cook every single day
because we know that everything i can do to get myself cooking every day is better for me
but my question to you is are you still trying to eat like everyone else or have you settled into
cooking healthy delicious foods that build the strongest
version of you if you're still stuck in those old habits maybe you feel like it's harder because
you have a sweet tooth i think you're going to find the video that i'm going to link here
very helpful for you it's also in the description below
