Reduce Friction

5/1/2024
A common barrier to staying on track is being mentally exhausted from making tons of decisions all day. The more decisions you have to make, the more friction it creates in your life, and the more mentally wiped out you feel. This phenomenon is called decision fatigue. (It's why you start out strong in the morning and feel like cheating by the end of the day. Your willpower is highest first thing in the morning because you haven't really used it yet.) My Certified Coaches all have busy lives full of decisions to make and problems to solve, so for this week's episode, I asked them to share their tips for streamlining their lives and, in so doing, setting themselves up for success. They offered up several great and SIMPLE strategies that reduce friction, ease decision fatigue, and make it easier to stay on track. I also added some things I do to help me stay on track and do the things I've committed to doing. We came up with about twenty-five different things you can do to streamline your life and reduce the number of decisions you have to make. Tune into this episode to hear our personal strategies for reducing friction and easing decision fatigue in your life! ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

MY TOP 3 TIPS FOR WORKING FROM HOME

4/24/2024
Much to the surprise of people doing it for the first time, working from home comes with a lot of challenges. I've been working from home for years, and let me tell you, I did not see most of these challenges coming. Hey, don't get me wrong. Working from home is awesome...AND there's a flip side to everything, including working from home. Whether you're working from home because you've got your own business or you're working remotely for someone else, you'll face these challenges, too. And in case you're wondering, YES, they can affect your weight loss. Whether working from home helps or hurts your weight loss depends on what I'm gonna talk about in this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle.

YOU STOPPED DOING WHAT WAS WORKING

4/17/2024
There's no shortage of ways to lose weight. You can lose weight with the lemon and cayenne pepper diet, the cabbage soup diet, or with Noom, Weight Watchers, Atkins, Ozempic, gastric surgery, and a million more. Losing weight isn't the hard part. It's keeping it off that most people struggle with, which is why I say we don’t have a weight loss problem in this country, we have a weight regain problem. Back in January, I did a workshop called Throwing It All Away, where I talked about my biggest battle ever with weight regain. It happened for one simple reason: I stopped doing what was working. The REASONS I stopped are relatable, but for this conversation, they're beside the point. The point is that when you stop doing what's working, you lose the result. If you stop showering, you stop staying clean. If you stop putting fuel in your car, it stops running. And if you stop doing what worked to get your weight off, you gain it back. That's why gimmicks like Ozempic, and drastic measures like gastric surgery, are so dangerous. How many times can you safely do them? How far can they really get you? In this podcast episode, I'm going deep into why the sneaky, toxic mindset of "it's working, so I can stop doing it" is SO harmful and frustrating in all areas of your life, including your weight loss. Tune in for help putting it behind you. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- 7 day reset might be exactly what you need: coderedlifestyle.com/reset ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT

4/10/2024
When sharing the Code Red Lifestyle™, people don’t believe what they hear, they believe what they see. That’s how people decide if something is going to work or not. They look for proof, aka "the fruit" of what it produces. Actual fruit doesn’t just pop up on its own. It's produced on a vine or tree. This is why I've posted a before and after picture of a Rebel who's lost weight every single day for the past eight years, plus stories that go along with them. It's to show people "the fruit" that Code Red produces when you live the lifestyle consistently and correctly. A lot of people who start living the Code Red Lifestyle™ want to inspire their friends and family to join. One of THE best ways to do that is by actually living the lifestyle and letting your results do the talking. An example: Say your mailman sees you at the mailbox, notices you’ve lost weight, and asks what’s going on. "Oh, I’m doing Code Red. It’s real food water, and sleep. No shakes, pills, diet foods, or exercise," you reply. That mailman, your pastor’s wife, your sister-in-law, they're all going to notice "the fruit" of your work. Another example: Let's say you're in an Uber and the driver tells you, "I’d really like to lose weight. I’ve been struggling the last four years, busting my butt at the gym three days a week. I haven’t skipped one single workout, and I'm not losing weight. It's just so frustrating." You could say, "I’ve lost 135 pounds on a program called Code Red," and the Uber driver will probably be impressed. But if you reach your phone forward (wait for a red stoplight or until you arrive at your destination!!) with a before picture, so they can compare it to how you look now, THAT's going to make much more of an impact than just saying it. If you want to inspire more people to live the Code Red Lifestyle™ with you, tune into this this episode, where I'll talk about how to "bear fruit" in a way that makes people take notice. What I talk about applies to more than weight loss. It applies to anything where you'd like people to join in...a business, a group you're a part of, and more. Tune in for tips on how you can "bear fruit" in a way that inspires others into action. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

Did I Fat Shame Them?

4/3/2024
This episode is gonna trigger some people. You'll be hard-pressed not to feel pretty strongly about it one way or the other. It has to do with a post I put up about unhealthy people eating unhealthy foods. I did not name them or show their faces (just like food documentaries and news reports that show images or footage of unhealthy people don't name them or show their faces). I DID express my opinion about their food choices in relation to their state of health. But did I actually "fat shame" them, as some people accused me of? Listen to this episode and decide for yourself. Like I said, you'll feel pretty strongly about it one way or the other. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

When the Newness Wears Off

3/27/2024
This episode is about what you do when the newness of a program or “fresh start” wears off. In her book, Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, shares that the anticipation of getting something is usually better than actually getting it. (Not always. Sometimes it's WAY better, like the new dress I just bought! But mostly, she's right.) Very often the excitement and anticipation dwindle before you even get what it is you're going for! The point is, newness always wears off, and that's when a lot of people go looking for some new way to feel excited instead of continuing to do what works just because it's not "new and exciting" anymore. I see this every single time on the Facebook 10 Pound Takedown. The week leading up to Day 1 and Day 1 itself have the most posting and engagement. The excitement is palpable. But once Day 1 hits, people start dropping off, because the dopamine hit they got from "a new start" begins to fade (which it always does, no matter the situation). People who succeed with anything for more than five seconds know how to keep going even after the initial excitement wears off. The question is, how do you keep going even when it's not new and exciting anymore... So you can finally get the result you've been trying to get for eons, but still don't have because you program hop or fizzle out? Tune into this week's new podcast episode about what to do when the newness wears off... Especially because it applies to WAY more than weight loss. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

My Answer Will Always be the Same

3/20/2024
I've been in the weight loss industry for thirty years as of 2024, and when it comes to weight loss, I've seen everything you can imagine. Pills, shakes, powders, and crazy "diets" come and go year after year, decade after decade. I've changed my stance on a few things over the years, too. For example, I used to believe in frequent eating for weight loss, and that the low-fat/high-carb diet was the "healthiest." I used to give my mom grief for not eating breakfast (which she didn't do because she wasn't hungry first thing in the morning). I used to be okay with veganism and being vegetarian (these days I personally don't support removing animal protein from your diet). One thing I haven't changed my mind on, however, is this: Real food, water, and sleep are the best and healthiest way to lose weight, clean up your wellness, and TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK. If you're new to Code Red, you may be skeptical it's that simple. You may still believe obesity can only be fixed with surgery, shots, pills, powders, INSANE and unsustainable diet gimmicks, or even killing yourself in the gym for five hours a day. Whether you think real food, water, and sleep are "too good to be true," or you're a veteran Rebel who knows it'll do you good to hear the truth again, tune into this episode about what I believe that will never change if you're looking for safe, sustainable weight loss and wellness. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

Fear the ABSENCE of PRESSURE with Chris Cavallini

3/13/2024
I haven't met many people who seek out discomfort and avoid comfort like the plague, but this week's podcast guest is one of them. His name is Chris Cavallini, and he's the CEO and founder of Nutrition Solutions, a healthy meal prep company. Growing up, Chris was in and out of foster homes, group homes, juvenile detention centers, and jail cells. He was arrested seventeen times before his eighteenth birthday and committed multiple felonies. Yet despite ALL that, Chris turned his life around in a BIG way that, statistically, most people don't. And like most people who transform in a big way, it started with a turning point. His path wasn't all sunshine and rainbows even after he chose a new path. Not even close. But he made it happen cap'n, and to me, his story is proof that anyone who decides to CAN turn their life around. So how did Chris go from convicted felon to CEO of a successful health-based company? And what can YOU learn from his trials and tribulations to get and keep your weight off?

HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET

3/6/2024
This episode is all about how quickly we forget, and what happens when we do. I was born partially deaf in my right ear, but my hearing loss wasn't discovered until I was in seventh grade, after my math teacher made fun of me in front of the whole class because I couldn’t hear him. My parents had my hearing checked after that, and that's when we discovered my partial hearing loss. I got hit in the head a lot during my eight-year boxing career, which made my hearing loss worse. Fast-forward to last year, when I finally invested in high-quality hearing aids, and let me tell ya...I had no idea how much I was missing! When I go to the gym in The Grove Hotel (which I live above at the time of this episode), I take my hearing aids out because I sit in the sauna after I work out and don’t want them to get all gross. Sometimes I chat with other people in the sauna, including a lobbyist I met there recently. I really wanted to hear what he had to say, but without my hearing aids I could only hear one in every three words. It was awful! And it got me thinking about how quickly we forget how miserable we USED TO BE. In my case, I left my hearing aids behind because I quickly forgot how miserable it is not to be able to hear people. When it comes to the Code Red Lifestyle™, how quickly we forget the misery we lived in before switching to real food, water, and sleep. That’s why this episode is all about how quickly we forget...and more importantly, how we can remember...not so we wallow in the pain, but so we don't lose sight of what we left behind, slip back into our old ways, and lose everything we worked so hard to get. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

BUT IT'S JUST THIS ONCE

2/28/2024
When I first started Code Red fourteen years ago, people lost weight much more slowly, and that's for two reasons: I come from a bodybuilding background, and one cheat meal a week is what bodybuilders often do. But many average Americans don't work out consistently (or at all), and most are metabolically broken. (More importantly, you cannot out-train a bad diet, no matter how much you exercise.) What I eventually figured out is that a healthy, super fit bodybuilder eating one cheat meal a week is a completely different situation than an obese grandmother who can't get out of her recliner without help eating one cheat meal a week. It also became crystal clear that cheat meals led my clients to take one step forward and TWO steps back. Plus, once they started cheating, they couldn't contain it to just one meal. It turned into going off the rails completely. In this week’s new podcast, I’ll reveal how cheat meals really affect you, including what they actually do to you and how they impede your progress. (There's more to it than you probably realize.) If you struggle with the "but it's just this once" mindset when it comes to cheats, tune in for an eye-opening episode! ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

Expecting a miracle when you won't do your part

2/14/2024
This episode is about expecting a miracle when you're not willing to do your part to get it. John Chapter 5 in the Bible illustrates this perfectly. People believed that once a year an angel came down to stir the waters in the Pool of Bethesda, and the first person to touch the stirred water was healed. A paralyzed man had been there for thirty-eight years trying to get into the pool. Jesus came to help him, but interestingly, he didn't heal the man right away. Instead, he first asked him if he wanted to be healed...and instead of just saying yes, the guy whined and felt sorry for himself because nobody would put him in the pool. I see a version of this when I ask people if they want to lose the weight. Many tell me, "Yes, BUT..." and rattle off excuses about why they can't, kinda like the paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda did. Until that man was willing to quit focusing on his excuses, he couldn't be helped, and it's the same for us. If we want our excuses more than our results, we won't get our results. To be clear, I'm not saying you shouldn't pray. Yes, pray about everything...AND do your part to make it happen cap'n. Joyce Meyer says you can't do God's part and God won't do your part. For clarity on how to know when it's time to do your part, check out this episode! ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Get your bluelight blockers from Swanwick, just head over to coderedlifestyle.com/swannies rebel15 for 15% off ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

Don't Sleep One More Night with the Frogs

2/7/2024
The Book of Exodus in the Bible tells the story of how God used Moses to free the Israelites from centuries of enslavement in Egypt. Egypt's ruler, Pharaoh, refused to let God's people go, so God sent plagues into Egypt. The second of those plagues was frogs. EVERYWHERE. Frogs in their houses, in their bedrooms, in their beds, in their servant's houses, and even ON the Egyptians and their servants! Can you imagine? (I can't imagine touching one frog, much less having wall-to-wall frogs in my house, in my bed, and hopping all over me!) But this is the part of the story that always gets me. When Moses went to Pharaoh and asked him when he should remove the frogs, you know what Pharaoh said? "Tomorrow." Uh…what??? WHY would Pharaoh want his people to spend even one more night with the frogs? It seems weird, but how often in life do we wait around in rotten situations, like Pharaoh did with the frogs, instead of starting NOW? If you still haven't taken your life back with Code Red...or you're figuratively "sleeping with the frogs" in some other part of your life...

No, weight loss is NOT all MENTAL!

1/31/2024
Almost every day, I hear someone say something that just isn't true: "Weight loss is all mental." If weight loss was ALL mental, you could sit around and think your way to goal weight (without having to address what you're doing that's causing your weight problem in the first place). Does mindset have a place? Oh, absolutely! The right mindset makes everything easier. But weight loss is not "all" mental. That's like saying getting your car out of the garage and into the grocery store parking lot is ALL mental. Unless you're telekinetic, no, it isn't! 😂 In this episode, I'm debunking the myth that weight loss is "all mental." If you struggle with mindset while losing weight, tune in, because what I have to say will help. If you don't struggle with mindset while losing weight, also tune in and see if what I say in this episode is why you don't struggle with mindset. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

Learning it vs Living it

1/24/2024
It was 2016, and I was sitting across the table from a lady who'd put on some weight. I didn't say a word about her weight, but she knew what I did and opened up to me. I asked if she'd thought about doing a custom program with me. "Look, I know what to do," she said. Andrea Dell, my Director of Coaching and a Code Red Certified Coach, heard a speaker at a summit in 2019 point out that just because you learn something doesn't mean you can LIVE it. We're SO conditioned to think that learning something is enough to be able to DO it. If your goal is to memorize information so you can pass a test or win on Jeopardy, then yeah, learning is enough. But if you want to transform, just learning what to do won't cut it. People get caught in this cycle of thinking that all their problems will be solved if they just find the right "new information." To hear why that kind of thinking is destroying your ability to get and keep the transformation you want--like losing weight and keeping it off--join me and Andrea for this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

From 350 to 150 in 18 months with Lory Stobart

1/17/2024
Can you imagine losing over 200 pounds? Lory doesn’t need to imagine it, because a year and a half ago she weighed 355 pounds. She vividly remembers how often she traveled at that size and the challenges that came with it, like slogging through airports drenched in sweat... Like making sure she wasn't bumping into people as she boarded and got off the plane... Like hoping she wasn't seated next to someone who was as big as she was, because they’d be "spilling over" onto each other. (That did happen a few times, and it was super uncomfortable.) The armrests cut into her thighs and she wanted to leave them up, but didn't because she didn't think it wasn’t fair to the other passengers. She got tired of asking for the seat belt extender, so ordered her own off Amazon. At work conferences, she'd sit all day in seats that didn’t fit and bit into her legs, so she'd always try to find the widest chair possible. Travel anxieties like these are just a fraction of the extreme hardships Lory found relief from after losing over 200 pounds with real food, water, and sleep on the Code Red Lifestyle™.

WHAT THE HECK DO WE SELL? Your SUPPLEMENT guide.

1/3/2024
I get these questions all the time: "Cristy, what supplements do you offer?" and "Which supplements should I take?" In this week's episode, Cari and I sit down to talk you through which supplements Code Red currently offers and what they do for you. If you've ever looked at Code Red supplements and been curious, but unsure which ones to take (or what they do), then tune into this week's podcast and get a full breakdown. Code Red supplements are safe and absorbable because they're made with bioavailable components. There’s no junk, no crazy pharmaceuticals, and no addictive drugs. If you’re getting crap multivitamins from big box stores you’re getting little to no benefit from them. (You may as well eat your money and poop that out.) You're also getting all the fillers and additives, which can inflame your body. Pretty backwards thing to have happen with a nutritional supplement that's supposed to HELP your body. If you decide Code Red supplements aren't for you, that's fine. But before you decide either way (or if you're just curious), tune into this episode and get the details on which supplements I offer and what each one does, so you have all the information you need to make a decision that's right for YOU. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

Skin in the GAME

12/27/2023
This podcast episode is about why success is next to impossible without enough skin in the game. People message me all the time and say, "I bought a Home Study program for my nephew, and he never even did it," or "I bought a Home Study program for my mom, and she never lost any weight with it." This is sad, but it doesn't surprise me at all, because I’ve NEVER seen anybody succeed when they don't have skin in the game. Meaning, they’re not going to value something they get for free because people do not value free (especially if someone else forces it on them, even with good intentions). It's the same if you buy something for your kids vs. if you make them purchase part of it themselves. If they help buy it, they will appreciate it more. (Same deal with their time. If they help choose and cook breakfast, they'll be more invested in eating it.) It's not about the money (or even the time) itself. It’s about the fact that most people aren't invested enough if they don't trade something of value to them in order to get a result they say they want. Some people do pay and STILL won't work the program. For example, people buy online courses or a book, then don’t take the course, won’t watch the videos, and won’t read the book...all because it’s not worth their time to finish it. They just don't have ENOUGH skin in the game. I can’t even wrap my head around instant or easy success. Any success I have sure as heck wasn't instant. I paid for it with blood, sweat, and tears. I’ve got a documentary coming out, and Lord knows most people who see it will say I’m an overnight success. Nope. It’s taken me 25 years to become an “overnight” success. Code Red is the easiest hard out there, but people on our program have had to cry at times and say no to the chili feeds and bake sales. They’ve had to measure their food, spend Sundays getting their chicken cooked, and take their water bottle wherever they go. The gimmicky quick fix is appealing. I get it. AND nobody's gonna hand your success to you. Even if they did, then without skin in the game, you wouldn't value it, so you wouldn't be satisfied with it. "Well, you don't know me, Cristy." Maybe not, but I know human nature, and without skin the game, we don't value what we have (or what we COULD have if we'd just do our part to get it). If you've been avoiding "having" to put skin in the game with Code Red - or in ANY area of your life - then tune into this episode to help you understand how and why you're not actually protecting yourself by avoiding that investment of time/and or money. (The opposite - you're hurting your ability to succeed, BIG TIME.) ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

The FIGHT gets HARDER

12/20/2023
In this episode we’re talking about yo-yo dieting. My mom said something funny but true about losing weight: The more you yo-yo, the harder the "yo" gets. In other words, the more your weight bounces up, the harder it is to get it back down. I'm not trying to discourage you if you've fallen off the wagon. I get it and Code Red is here for you! What I'm saying is that yo-yoing brings physical and psychological problems that get worse the more you do it. To be clear, that doesn't mean all hope is lost. It DOES mean that you can make things easier on yourself by stopping the yo-yo NOW. In this episode I'll dive into yo-yoing and how you can put a stop to it. Some of what I say is gonna surprise you. (The Cristy of six years ago would NEVER have said it!) Tune in and get motivated to end the yo-yo! ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.
