THEIR QUEST FOR A HEALTHIER
LIFESTYLE TO YOU TUBE AND
GATHERED UP NEARLY A 1/2
MILLION LIKE MINDED FANS.
STEPH AND ADAM ARE FIT COUPLE
COOKS, THEIR YOU TUBE HAS
COOKOUTS AND MEMORABLE MOMENTS.

COUNTRY WITH THEIR NEW COOK
BOOK, HEALTHY MEAL PREP TO HELP
SAVE TIME AND MONEY.
I KEEP CALLING YOU CUTE COUPLE
COOKS, BUT YOU ARE FIT COUPLE
COOKS, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
THEM ON YOU TUBE.
HOW DID YOU GET STARTED DOING
THIS?
THIS?

THIS? >> I HAD MY OWN CHANNEL FIRST,
STEPH'S STEPS.
STEPH'S STEPS. I WAS THE ORIGINAL, AND I HAD
STRUGGLED MY WHOLE LIFE WITH
WEIGHT, AND SO I TRIED TO TEACH
OTHER PEOPLE HOW TO EAT
HEALTHIER AND DO REALLY SIMPLE
RECIPES AND THEN I MET ADAM,
AND SO WE JOINED FORCES BECAUSE
HE HAD THE SAME MISSION OF
HELPING PEOPLE ALL OVER THE
WORLD.
WORLD.
WORLD. >>
WORLD. >> AND THE FACT OF THE MATTER
IS YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE
THIS ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE,
OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN'T FOLLOW
YOU ON YOU TUBE.
WERE YOU SHOCKED THAT YOU HAVE
GOTTEN THIS MANY PEOPLE WHO
FOLLOWED, WHAT YOU'RE DOING,
WHAT YOU'RE EATING, WHAT YOU'RE
DOING FOR YOUR WORKOUT.
>> IT'S AMAZING.
OUR MISSION IS TO HELP PEOPLE.
SO WHEN THE FIRST VIDEO WENT
VIRAL, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO HELP MORE PEOPLE, AND SO WE
JUST ROLL WITH IT.
WE GET EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE,
AND NOW THE BOOK AND HERE
TODAY.

TODAY. >> YOU'RE HERE TODAY.
>> LOOKING AT SOME OF THE
VIDEOS, WHICH YOU ALWAYS MAKE
SO MUCH FUN.
YOU MAY HAVE TO JUGGLE
SOMETHING FOR ME.
>> I CAN JUGGLE FOR YOU.
>> THE FACT THAT YOU DO THIS
TOGETHER IS INSPIRING, YOU
KNOW, FOR COUPLES TO DO THIS,
BECAUSE IT'S HARD IF JUST ONE
PERSON CHANGES THEIR HABITS.
IT'S SO MUCH EASIER IF YOU DO
IT TOGETHER.
IT TOGETHER. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> WHAT ARE WE MAKING TODAY
THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE
CAN EAT AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.
>> BREAKFAST, THE MOST
IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY.
WE HAVE AN EASY, OVERNIGHT OATS
TO MAKE TODAY.
WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU TO HELP
US OUT.
US OUT.
US OUT. >> WE HAVE A BANANA RECIPE AND
A PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY
RECIPE WITH THE STRAWBERRIES.
>> I'M A HUGE OATMEAL FAN AND I
WANT TO SEE HOW THIS WORKS.
WHAT DO I DO.
>> SUPER SIMPLE, A THIRD OF A
CUP OF OATS, THE RAW OATS ARE
RIGHT THERE.
RIGHT THERE. OATS, AND YOU CAN JUST PUT ONE
OF THOSE INTO A JAR.
THERE YOU GO.
>> HOW AM I DOING SO FAR.
>> VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD.
THEN YOU'RE GOING TO DO A CUP
OF ALMOND MILK.
>> EVERYTHING'S ORGANIC, RIGHT?
>> ORGANIC AND NON-GMO.
>> YOU SAID BREAKFAST IS THE
MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY,
AND WE HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT
FOREVER, BUT ACTUALLY, IT
REALLY REALLY IS, WE'RE NOT
KIDDING, TELL US WHY.
>> YOU WANT TO GET THE BODY OFF
TO THE RIGHT START, SO YOU
DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH YOUR
DAY AND BE LOW ON ENERGY.
YOU WANT TO START THE DAY WITH
CARBOHYDRATES, OATS.
CARBOHYDRATES, OATS. >> GET YOUR BRAIN GOING.
>> GOT TO START FUNCTIONING.
>> WHAT'S NEXT?
>> PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY
FIRST.
FIRST.
FIRST. A
FIRST. A TABLESPOON OF THAT.
I'M GOING TO CUT UP
STRAWBERRIES FOR YOU.
>> THESE ARE SUPER SIMPLE.
IF YOU'RE MEAL PREPPING THESE
IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR WEEK, WHICH
OUR BOOK IS ALL ABOUT MEAL
PREPPING, YOU WOULD MAKE SIX OR
HOWEVER MANY YOU WOULD LIKE.
>> YOU COULD MAKE 12 IF YOU
HAVE KIDS OR A FAMILY OR
WHATEVER.
WHATEVER.
WHATEVER. >> I LOVE THAT IDEA.
>> WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
>> HEMP SEEDS, LIKE A TEASPOON.
>> SO THIS GIVES YOU PROTEIN.
>> A GOOD PLANT BASED PROTEIN.
>> AND I'M NOT GOING TO A TASTE
A LOT OF THIS.
>> NO, NOT REALLY.
IT HAS LIKE A NUTTY FLAVOR.
>> AND STEPHANIE, SOME
STRAWBERRIES FOR ME.
>> SURE.
>> SURE.
>> SURE. >> JUST IN CASE YOUR KIDS DON'T
LIKE HEMP SEEDS.
>> GIVE THAT A MIX.
>> TAKE THESE OUT OF THE WAY,
SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING.
>> REALLY MIX THE STRAWBERRIES
IN.
IN.
IN. >>
IN. >> MIX IT ALL TOGETHER.
THIS IS GOING TO GO IN YOUR
FRIDGE AND SIT OVERNIGHT, SO
YOU COULD EAT IT NOW.
IT'S STILL GOING TO HAVE ALL
THE FLAVORS KIND OF COMBINED
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. OVERNIGHT, THE ALMOND MILK IS
GOING TO ABSORB WITH THE OATS,
KIND OF EXPAND AND THE
SWEETNESS FROM THE STRAWBERRY
WILL BREAK DOWN AND KIND OF ALL
COME TOGETHER.
COME TOGETHER. TOMORROW MORNING, IT'S GOING TO
BE THE BEST.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE READY.
THIS IS INCREDIBLY EASY.
I DON'T HAVE TO WARM UP THE
MILK OR WATER AND COOK THE
OATS, I DO THIS AND PUT IT IN
THE FRIDGE.
THE FRIDGE. >> ON SUNDAY, YOU CAN MAKE A
WHOLE BUNCH, AND YOU HAVE FOUR
OR FIVE READY TO GO IN THE
FRIDGE.
FRIDGE.
FRIDGE. >> OR OUT ON THE DECK.
>> NEXT ONE, YOU CAN DO THE
SAME RATIO, A THIRD OF A CUP
ALMOND MILK.
ALMOND MILK. >> CHOCOLATE, WHO DOESN'T LOVE
CHOCOLATE AND BANANAS.
>> YOU DON'T SEE PEANUT BUTTER
AND BANANAS!
AND BANANAS! AND IT'S BACK AND FORTH.
YOU CAN USE WHATEVER NUT OR
SEED YOU LIKE.
ADD A CRUSHED NUT IN THERE.
TO THIS ONE, WE'RE GOING TO ADD
A TEASPOON TACAO, THE MOST PURE
FORM OF CHOCOLATE.
JUST A LITTLE BIT WILL DO THE
TRICK.
TRICK.
TRICK. >>
TRICK. >> GOT IT.
>> CHIA SEEDS, TWO TEASPOONS OF
THE CHIA.
THE CHIA.
THE CHIA. CHIA IS YUMMY.
>> I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT THE
CHIA PETS, I'LL TRY NOT TO, I
DON'T WANT THOSE GROWING IN MY
TUMMY.
TUMMY.
TUMMY. >>
TUMMY. >> THIS LOOKS SO SMALL, I
WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT, BUT WHEN
IT EXPANDS.
IT EXPANDS. >> THAT'S A BIG PORTION FOR TV.
>> FILL IT UP A LITTLE BIT.
>> IF YOU WANTED MORE, YOU CAN
DOUBLE IT.
DOUBLE IT. >> WE GIVE YOU LIKE A BASE
START TO THE DAY, AND, YOU
KNOW, GET PEOPLE TO SPREAD
THEIR MEALS OUT A LITTLE BIT,
AND IF YOU WANTED A BIGGER,
HEFTIER BREAKFAST, DOUBLE THE
PORTION AND MAKE IT A LITTLE
BIT BIGGER.
BIT BIGGER. >> THE WHOLE IDEA OF GETTING
THE SEEDS AND PROTEIN, THAT'S
WHAT HELPS YOU NOT HAVE THAT
CRASH THAT YOU HAVE IF YOU EAT
A BEAR CLAW OR A CINNAMON ROLL
OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT I ADMIT
IS DELICIOUS, BUT BY 10:00, YOU
WANT TO TAKE A NAP AND FEEL
AWFUL.
AWFUL.
AWFUL. HOW DID YOU DECIDE ON WHICH
RECIPES GO IN THE BOOK?
>> THIS IS A SELECTION OF THE
FIRST SEASON, WE WOULD SAY, OF
ALL OF OUR YOU TUBE VIDEOS,
THIS IS BASICALLY THE FIRST
YEAR AND A HALF OF RECIPES,
EPISODE ONE TO EPISODE 40 OR
50.
50.
50. >>
50. >> DID YOU HAVE VIEWER
FAVORITES, WERE THERE SOME
PEOPLE WERE GAGA OVER, WHAT ARE
SOME OF THE FAVORITES?
>> LASAGNA, CHICKEN PARM.
STEPH'S CURRY, MY PERSONAL
FAVORITE.
FAVORITE.
FAVORITE. >> I HOPE YOU'RE A WARRIORS
FAN, TOO.
FAN, TOO.
FAN, TOO. IN TERMS OF INGREDIENTS, TALK
TO ME A BIT ABOUT HEMP SEEDS,
CHIA SEEDS, OTHER WAYS WE CAN
GET MORE PROTEIN INTO OUR
BREAKFAST, SINCE THAT SEEMS TO
BE THE PROBLEM.
>> THINGS LIKE ALMOND MILK,
THAT'S GOING TO BE GOOD FOR
YOU, OR HEMP SEEDS, THINGS THAT
ARE READILY AVAILABLE IN THE
SHOPS, THEY'RE NOT HARD TO FIND
ANYMORE.
ANYMORE.
ANYMORE. THEY MAY BE NEW TO PEOPLE, IF
YOU GO LOOK, MARKETS WILL
CARRY.
CARRY.
CARRY. AND SO THINGS LIKE THE CHIA AND
HEMP ARE GREAT WAYS TO ADD TO
YOUR BREAKFAST, AND ADD ANY
KIND OF CHOPPED NUT, WITH A
CASHEW OR ALMOND.
>> PEOPLE SAY I DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR MEAL PREP OR CHOPPING, ARE
MOST THINGS IN THE BOOK LIKE
THIS, IF THEY'RE SUPER QUICK.
>> MOST TAKE 20 TO 30 TO MAKE.
LETS SAY WE'RE DOING A MAIN
DISH, THE MIXED VEGETABLE
CURRY, IT'S GOING TO TAKE YOU
20 MINUTES TO PULL TOGETHER,
LET IT SIMMER.
AND WE PORTION IT OUT.
THE WAY WE BALANCE THE BOOK,
WHAT WE DO IS TEACHING YOU TO
COOK MULTIPLE THINGS AT ONCE.
THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN
TRYING TO COOK ONE MEAL, DOING
IT, AND THREE HOURS IN, YOU'VE
MADE TWO THINGS!
NOBODY HAS TIME FOR THAT
ANYMORE, AND WE END UP WITH THE
TAKEOUT AND DRIVE THROUGH THAT
WE DON'T WANT.
IF YOU COULD HAVE PEOPLE CHANGE
ONE THING THEY DO ABOUT TEAR
FITNESS OR FOOD HABIT, WHAT
WOULD IT BE?
>> STARTING.
>> STARTING. START A HEALTHY ROUTINE.
DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO BE
IN A PARTICULAR DIET OR
ROUTINE.
ROUTINE.
ROUTINE. DO WHATEVER YOU CAN AND START.
>> START SLOWLY.
>> ONE HEALTHY DECISION, START
WITH BREAKFAST.
WITH BREAKFAST. >> IF YOU HAD BREAKFAST DONE
EVERY DAY, THAT'S A GOOD START.
MAKE BETTER DECISIONS THROUGH
THE DAY.
THE DAY.
THE DAY. >> I HAVE TO HAVE A TASTE.
>> YEAH, YOU CAN TRY THAT.
OH, IT'S DELISH.
YOU DO TASTE THE CHOCOLATE.
TALKING WITH MY MOUTHFUL.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING ALL OF
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. WE
THIS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE SHOW
YOUR YOU TUBE LINKS AND ALL OF
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> STEPH AND ADAM WILL SIGN
BOOKS AT THIRD PLACE BOOKS, AND
WE HAVE MORE ON OUR WEB SITE.
>>> COMING UP, SURPRISING
MILITARY FAMILIES OF MAKEOVERS
OF A ROOM IN THEIR HOUSE.
WE'LL BE BACK AFTER THIS.
