LISTEN TO THIS, MY MOTHER IS A NURSE AT WINTHROP HOSPITAL.
SHE WORKS WITH A NURSE WHO WAS 240LBS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES.
THIS WOMAN’S DR. SAYS YOU NEED TO EAT KETO FOR THE WEIGHT LOSS.
SO SHE ACTUALLY LISTENS! WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
SHE EATS KETO FOR 1 YEAR, LOSES 120 LBS AND NOW HAS NO SIGN OF TYPE 2 DIABETES, LET ALONE ANY
PROBLEM WITH HER BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS.

IS THAT FUCKING INCREDIBLE!
NOW, KNOWING WHAT YOU KNOW NOW. KNOWING THAT SUGAR HAS THREATENED THIS WOMANS’ LIFE, AND SHE WAS ABLE TO BEAT HER DISEASE JUST BY RIDDING SUGAR FROM HER SYSTEM.
THIS IS A FACT. THIS WOMAN, AMONGST OTHER CANCER PATIENTS MY MOTHER TREATS THAT HAVE CHANGED THEIR LIVES DRAMATICALLY BY NEVER EATING SUGAR AGAIN.
CANCER, THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEATEN KEPT CANCER IN REMISSION BY NOT EATING SUGAR!

LET ME KNOW IF THIS CHANGES HOW ANYONE FEELS ABOUT EATING SUGAR.
MOST LIKELY NOT, CAUSE WE’RE HUMAN AND UNFORTUNATELY MOST HUMANS ARE NOT ABLE TO LINK THE BENEFIT OF NOT EATING SUGAR TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE UNLESS THEIR HEALTH IS COMPRIMISED.
JUST LIKE YOGA, IT’S VERY RARE THAT ANYONE WILL BE PROACTIVE WITH THEIR HEALTH, IT’S TOO EASY TO BE REACTIVE.
PLUS, DR’S WON’T BE TOO HAPPY IF PEOPLE START TAKING THEIR HEALTH INTO THEIR OWN HANDS.
IT’S MUCH EASIER TO ABUSE YOUR BODY AND THEN GET THE HELP YOU NEED TO REVERSE IT.

TRY TO BE PROACTIVE AND NOT EAT SHIT, NOT ABUSE YOUR BODY AND NOT TRY AND NOT BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR BODY WITH WEIGHT THAT’S TOO HEAVY.

USED TO DOING THEM, MAYBE YOU CAN START WITH 30% OF THE NUMBER AND ONLY DO HALF REPS.)

*****
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON? HAS ANYONE COMPLETED THEIR TASK?
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE BY TONIGHT I BELIEVE.
I WAS READING SOMETHING TODAY, IT SAID THE AVERAGE AMERICAN IS ON THEIR PHONE FOR 4 HOURS A DAY!
IS THAT INSANE?
IS THAT YOU?
IS THAT ANYONE YOU KNOW?
THINK ABOUT THE INFORMATION THAT CAN BE FED TO YOU BEING ON THE PHONE FOR 4 HOURS A DAY.
THINK ABOUT YOUR POSTURE DURING THESE 4 HOURS, I’M PRETTY SURE WHILE WE’RE ON OUR PHONES OUR POSTURE SUFFERS…
BEING THAT EVERYONE ON THEIR PHONE HAS THEIR HEADS HANGING DOWN THE WHOLE TIME.

IT’S ANOTHER MONDAY. ANOTHER MONDAY TO START EATING WELL.
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HEARD, “I’LL START MONDAY?”
HOW MANY MONDAY’S HAVE PASSED YOU BY AND STILL, YOU HAVEN’T STARTED?
HOW MANY MORE MONDAY’S ARE YOU GOING TO LET PASS?
EATING, EXERCISING, ETC… ANYTHING YOU’VE WANTED TO START BUT NEVER DID.
IMAGINE IF YOU DID, IF 6 MONTHS AGO YOU MADE A SIMPLE CHANGE AS NO MORE SUGAR.
NOT EVEN A DIET, JUST NO SUGAR OR NO PROCESSED FOODS OR NO DAIRY, ANYTHING.
ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE CHANGED, OVER 6 MONTHS TIME YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN A DRASTIC DIFFERENCE IN YOUR BODY.
SO THEN, WHY DO WE NEVER MAKE THAT CHANGE?

IF YOU HAVEN’T TRIED IT YET, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
IS BEING BEING MORE FLEXIBLE TO AVOID INJURY NOT ENOUGH TO TRY IT?
