HERE ON THE BALANCING ACT, WE ARE ALWAYS EXPLORING NEW IDEAS ON HOW TO BALANCE THE MANY AREAS
OF OUR BUSY LIVES AND BALANCED NUTRITION DEFINITELY IS ONE OF THEM.
HERE TO HELP US SHAKE IT UP THIS MORNING IS NUTRITION EXPERT AND LIFE COACH, DR.
NAN BRENZEL.
HI DOCTOR!
HI.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE WITH US BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA SHOW US HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY,
NUTRITIOUS SHAKES--I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT!--BUT FIRST, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT ROLE BEHAVIOR
MODIFICATION KIND OF PLAYS IN LIVING A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE AND ALSO IN LOSING WEIGHT.
TO CHANGE A BEHAVIOR, YOU HAVE TO IDENTIFY WHAT MOVES YOU TOWARDS IT AND WHAT MOVES YOU
AWAY FROM IT.
THAT'S YOUR ACTIONS AND YOUR THOUGHTS.
AND 26 YEARS AG0, I LOSE 102 POUNDS USING THE CAMBRIDGE PLAN.
DID YOU REALLY?
YES.
CONGRATULATIONS!
THANK YOU.
USING THE CAMBRIDGE PLAN?
YES, I DID.
I HAD A PLAN FOR MYSELF.
AND SO I'LL SPEAK FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
OKAY.
I HAD A 30-DAY PLAN.
ALL I DID WAS LOOK AT LIFE FOR 30 DAYS.
NEXT I SET UP A SUPPORT SYSTEM.
THEN I USED THE ORIGINAL CAMBRIDGE.
I USED THE NUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS THAT ARE THE FOOD FOR LIFE PRODUCTS.
I MIXED UP THE SHAKES AND THE SOUPS.
AND THEN I ATE THE BEST I COULD, CAUSE THAT WOULD GIVE ME MY BASELINE NUTRITION.
THE NEXT THING I DID IS I LOOKED AT--YOU KNOW THE SLIMY THINGS YOU EAT?--AND THAT WOULD
BE YOUR SALAD DRESSINGS, YOUR OILS, NOT NECESSARILY FATS BUT THE SLIMY THINGS.
AND I WOULD TAKE A SMALLER PLATE TO EAT ON.
AND I WOULD ALWAYS SAY, "YOU CAN GO BACK FOR SECONDS."
BUT I REALLY DID, BECAUSE I WOULD USE A CAMBRIDGE FIRST, SO MY APPETITE...
I FELT REALLY FULL.
AND THEN, WHAT I WOULD DO IS I WOULD WALK.
AND THE FIRST TIME I WALKED, I WALKED AT 235 LBS, SAT DOWN, AND CRIED.
AWWW...
AND SO WE DEVELOPED THE WALKING PROGRAM ALONG WITH THE MASSAGERSIZE PROGRAM, AND AS YOU'LL
SEE IN THE MASSAGERSIZE PROGRAM, YOU CAN DO IT AT ANY SIZE, ANY WEIGHT, AND YOU CAN DO
IT SITTING OR STANDING, SO IT'S REALLY FUN.
SO, LET'S TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THAT INNER VOICE THAT SOMETIMES CAN MAYBE NOT BE SO KIND TO
US, AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT INNER VOICE TELLS US CAN DATE WAY BACK TO OUR CHILDHOOD.
WE'RE HAVING CONVERSATIONS FROM WHEN WE WERE 5 AND 6.
THAT'S RIGHT.
OR THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO US WHEN WE WERE 5 OR 6.
HOW CAN WE GROW OUT OF THOSE HABITS AND ACTIONS THAT CAN REALLY HOLD US BACK?
WELL, WE HAVE MORE THAN IDEAS.
CAMBRIDGE HAS 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
WHAT WE TEACH IN THE CAMBRIDGE PROGRAM IS WE TEACH AWARENESS, INTERRUPTION--A STOP TECHNIQUE,
STOP SAYING UNKIND THINGS--SOMETHING TO SUBSTITUTE, EITHER THINK, SAY, DO, OR IMAGINE DIFFERENTLY,
AND THEN PRACTICE.
AND I THINK THAT PRACTICE IS KEY.
AND I LIKE THE FACT THAT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF, YOU'RE BEING GENTLE WITH OURSELVES
BECAUSE ALL TOO OFTEN WE TEND TO BE REALLY, REALLY HARD ON OURSELVES.
I WANT TO GET TO THESE RECIPES.
ABSOLUTELY!
LET'S START WITH THE VANILLA SHAKE.
OKAY!
WE'RE GONNA PUT 8 OZ OF WATER.
OKAY.
(WATER POURING).
OUR VANILLA FOOD FOR LIFE.
OKAY.
TWO SCOOPS.
(CLINKING NOISE).
TWO SCOOPS.
LITTLE BIT OF ICE.
GOT SOME ICE.
(CLINKING NOISE).
THERE WE GO.
AND SOME STRAWBERRIES.
OH, THAT IS YUMMY.
KIDS LOVE THESE.
THE STRAWBERRY WITH VANILLA, THAT'S A GREAT COMBINATION.
IT'S GONNA BE 100% NUTRITION A-Z.
LET'S...
(BLENDER NOISE).
OKEY DOKEY!
ALL RIGHT.
I THINK YOU'LL LIKE THIS.
I'M EXCITED TO TRY IT.
OKAY, GO AHEAD.
(LAUGHS).
THREE SERVINGS A DAY WILL GIVE YOU 420 CALORIES.
(POURING NOISES).
ALL THE NUTRITION YOU NEED FOR A NUTRITIONAL BASE.
MMM-HMMM...
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
MMMMM...
IT'S DELICIOUS, ISN'T IT?
HMMM!
(LAUGHS) IT'S SO GOOD!
IT REALLY IS GOOD!
IT REALLY IS GOOD.
SURPRISED, HUH?
YOU KNOW, HERE'S THE OTHER THING I NOTICED ABOUT CAMBRIDGE SHAKES.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT IT COMES IN A VARIETY OF FLAVORS, RIGHT?
IT SURE DOES.
YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY LIKES VARIETY BUT I UNDERSTAND THERE'S EVEN AN OATMEAL AND A SOUP AS WELL?
THERE IS.
THERE'S THE ORIGINAL CAMBRIDGE THAT CAME IN SHAKES, AND FOOD FOR LIFE HAS SUPER OATS,
SOUP, AND SHAKES THEMSELVES, PLUS BARS.
WE ARE ON A ROLE.
WHAT SHOULD WE HAVE NEXT?
(LAUGHS).
WELL, I MADE THIS AHEAD SO YOU COULD TASTE IT.
IT'S BANANA AND CHOCOLATE AND WHO DOESN'T LOVE CHOCOLATE?
OH, MY GOSH, WELL YOU HAD ME AT HELLO WHEN YOU SAID CHOCOLATE.
(LAUGHTER).
I HAD YOU AT THE FIRST TASTE.
MMM HMMM...
MMM...
MMMM!
(SMACKING NOISE).
AND THIS IS GOOD BECAUSE IT'S VERY CHOCOLATEY.
SO IF YOU LOVE CHOCOLATE, YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
IT HAS A LOT OF FLAVOR IN IT.
SAME AMOUNT OF NUTRITION.
YOU KNOW, I LIKE THE FACT THAT THESE SHAKES ARE YUMMY.
OF COURSE!
YES.
THAT'S THE FIRST THING, BECAUSE YOU WANT IT TO TASTE GOOD.
BUT THEY'RE LOW CAL.
THEY'RE NUTRITIOUS.
THERE'S A SUPPORT GROUP.
THERE'S EVEN A CLASS CALLED MASSAGERSIZE.
MASSAGERSIZE.
ABSOLUTELY.
AND OUR SUPPORT GROUP ARE CONSULTANTS THAT ARE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
THEY CAN TALK TO YOU ONLINE, SKYPE, OR MEET WITH YOU IN PERSON.
SKYPE.
WE'RE GETTING TECHNOLOGICALLY SAVVY WITH SKYPE.
(LAUGHTER).
(MUSIC).
WELL, DOCTOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ABSOLUTELY YUMMY.
THANKS FOR SHARING THIS WITH US THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU.
APPRECIATE HAVING YOU.
