 So this is crazy. I know people ask me all the time like what why is the scale not moving? Why is it moving this way? What's the scale? What's the scale? What's the scale? And what I want to do is I want to take a couple minutes and just talk about how the scale can make you fat But to get to understand how that works. It has to do with biochemistry You know, and if you know anybody right now that's on a fat loss journey or health journey And they're using the scale as the as like one of the main metrics of their success It's gonna mess them up It's one variable of many that impact how your body is gonna respond to getting healthier and People will say to me like well muscle weighs more than fat Well, but if you didn't do anything to gain muscle, then that's not the reason why it's not working There's other variables in there. So I want to be very very clear with y'all We're gonna talk about how the scale makes you fat, but to do this I need to get some feedback from y'all. All right, so first off I want you to do is do you weigh yourself if you do how often do you weigh yourself on? Or do you have a scale at home better question? Do you have a scale at home down below tell me if you have a scale at home and then do you weigh yourself? How often do you weigh yourself? Now the reason why I'm gonna talk about how the scale makes you fat to way to do that I'm gonna tell you a story. Her name is Amy. Amy is a wonderful soul. She's an amazing individual big heart Just passionate, but Amy's one of those ladies. All right, so I got Susan weighs herself or has a scale at home scale at homes Wow Wow We should break those we should break those scales. I'm just telling you let's get rid of them They messed us up. So I'm gonna talk about I'm gonna talk about Amy. Amy is a strong Independent woman big heart Compassionate, but she struggled with her weight her whole life her whole life She struggled with her weight and I got to work with Amy. She works hard I would harder than everybody else. She does everything right. She follows all the rules and Amy was on this journey. This is back in the day when I used to do I you got a lot of you guys don't know this But I actually had my biosignatures Specialists or practitioner where we could analyze where you measure your body fat and talks about how your hormones are impacted inside So you're where you carry your body fat how your body carries fat Also tells me what's happening inside Hormonally in your body. So Amy was going through all the stuff Well, she had some things that were just out of whack, right? So I put her on a ketogenic plan She's having great success. She feels better her energy's better Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba three weeks in a row the scales moving scales moving and boom scale that move now When you would work with me when I worked with Amy What happened was is in my office. I had a scale I had to because to get the measurements now I wasn't using the scale was only one variable of many that decided our success, right? It was one variable of many But that day my office somebody took my scale in my office. So it was in a different location Well, normally I don't let anybody see what the scale says because I know the psychology of what the scale does So we go down away. She saw the number. Well, the number went up from the week before But when Amy walked in true story What that when Amy walked in? She was full of life. She was happy. She felt good. She felt calm did she look good She's like Dustin. I feel awesome. These numbers are gonna be perfect Well, the scale went up So we walk back to the way to walk from one end of the gym to the other of the gym She had the walk of shame her heads down. She's all like this and we get done doing a body fat Measurements and she dropped 1.5% body fat scale went up still and She's like what I don't understand and what I realized and I told her I go listen Amy You came in full life You looked at a number on a scale and it now went the other way the problem is and this is how the scale makes you fat is That it impacted her psyche, right? It impacted her mindset Which causes a stress hormone to go up called cortisol cortisol is a very impactful hormone that slows down fat loss So your body's in a stressful environment. It actually can slow down the production So if you get on the scale if you get on the scale, I have a secret about Amy. I'm gonna talk about in a second if when you get on the scale and You have a emotional reaction Positive or negative If it meaning that if you lose weight and you're like, yeah, I lost weight. I'm super stoked But then if that scale doesn't move and you you have a reaction of disappointment and frustration You should get rid of your scale. If you have the reaction of oh hell, no I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna move my body. I'm gonna get that scale to move I'm gonna go kick its butt or you know, I don't really care Then I don't care if you have a scale because it's not causing that emotional reaction I watch this happen to my wife, but here's the story about Amy So Amy if you get to know Amy, I probably won't she had a unique cycle her cycle is actually not normal she didn't have a regular hormonal cycle and We were working on getting her healthy and her cycle had started to shift over the handful of months We're working together. Well, guess what? We moved her cycle to a 28-day cycle and yes If you get healthy, this can happen So her cycle was coming early when you're with ladies you all know when your cycle comes early your body has to Go through some shifts and changes. She started retaining fluid a little bit more her body was shifting a little bit more Well, guess what the scale didn't move because she didn't drop body fat the scale Moved up a little bit because her body was retaining fluid because it was supposed to do that But the scale moved anyway the wrong way She'd been working out hard. She'd been in fit. She looked magnificent. She looked greater clothes were fitting better Everything was fitting better, but it had this impact on her. So I had to teach Amy that Psychologically, she is not in a place that she should go on a scale because it's ultimately going to limit her response She's not walking around with her head down versus her head out Even though she's doing all the right work to have the right results And if she say when she stayed patient we work through it and she obviously looks great feels great and lives an awesome life So I want to be clear here y'all that it's super super super important that if you don't Use a scale is only one variable of your success It's one variable of your success and too many people get on a call with me and they're like doesn't I'm not losing weight fast enough Well, hey, you were freaking unhealthy when you started. Sorry being mean, but if you're doing the right stuff Meaning if you're eating low carb, right? You're eating less calories than you're burning, right? You're drinking ketones daily because that has to turn on the metabolic switch if you're not drinking ketones daily You're just not going to get long-term results. I'm just telling you because the glute for transporter needs to be activated So you can metabolize fat better. So Metabolizing fats are really important if you're doing all that and your scale isn't moving fast enough Here's the reality You're unhealthy your ketones and being ketosis and transforming fat loss is about optimizing health and wellness and if you if your body isn't responding, right? Your body needs to get healthier first the human body doesn't care how much you weigh cares about reproduction and staying alive That's the truth Humans want to reproduce and stay alive. That's what our body cares about. Does that make sense? You care about the other stuff it as a human species doesn't care about all that other stuff You guys like in the beer and I like it my wife's trying to keep me to get me to keep it So we're gonna we're gonna see how it goes. So But I want to be clear here if you're plateaued or you're not losing weight the right way or you're not losing weight fast Especially when you start plateaus after three six nine months mean something else and I'll shoot another video on that I have videos already out there, but I'll do a live on that too, but here's the reality Y'all don't give up on what's going to work You have to be patient if that glute for if you're not metabolizing and burning fat efficiently It takes time to turn it on that's why the ketogenic diet and dieters aren't getting results and Maintaining it because that isn't turned on ketones help turn that on and activate that switch So you want to be drinking ketones, but don't quit because this is what happens I meet people like Jen who started three years ago It didn't happen fast enough for her. So she quit three years later She's now 40 pounds heavier feels worse and she's like alright. I'm not gonna quit this time I'm gonna finish it through so then after three months her body switches over She now looks amazing down 60 plus pounds feels great lives her life And she's like if I just wouldn't have quit three years ago, where would I be today? I'm sick of that conversation. Don't quit y'all don't quit. What's up, Lisa Grossman? How are you? I hope you're amazing But here's the reality y'all is the scale is a one variable of health metric It is a variable and it's important go use it my recommendation for most people if you're Emotionally attached to your scale meaning if you let your emotions be dictated by a number on a scale and a lot of you out There there's a few that are not I want to give you Hey, what's up Joe? I want to give you a little tip weigh yourself once a month Once a month the same time you gotta do it in the morning. I had another lady She goes doesn't I want the doctor in my in my my my weight went up I'm like well did you weigh yourself in the morning or do you weigh yourself? She went the doctor at 3 o'clock in the afternoon after a meals food hydration hasn't pooped yet I go and you weigh yourself at home in the morning. I Gained seven pounds throughout a day like from the morning till I go to bed It's a seven-pound swing if I weigh myself at a different time Seven pounds it's gonna change right throughout the day. Well, that's kind of crazy, right? So just keep that in mind y'all as you're going through this is that be careful with that scale weigh yourself once a month If you can emotionally handle it do it once a week, right? I don't think anybody should weigh themselves every day I don't think it makes any sense to do that Even if you can control it and if you really are emotionally wrecked by the scale Twice a year go to your doctor get an appointment and do your scale twice a year But schedule your appointment at the same time and then follow a plan that works That means drink two meals a day or sorry eat two meals a day Drink your ketones once or twice a day eat low carb eat high quality foods and have fun Still do some fun stuff have holidays and Christmases and enjoy your life and make the best decisions You can move your body exercise more the basics y'all Health and wellness is not hard. It's not complicated. It's actually very very simple But doesn't always make it easy because we have a lot of things in our life that we like and we do So just keep that in mind. I did have a one question. I'll have to answer it for real Love gal. I love the name real love gal. What are ketones? ketones are energy so ketones are of food our body our ancestors have lived with and have Used our whole life as existent. So prior to this amazing little product back in Ancestral days our ancestors lived in ketosis means that they didn't eat a lot of carbs and sugars or much food at all They almost ate no carbs and sugars and they would live off their extra body fat that they would store typically in the summer months they would live off their body fat and that would provide energy called ketones and So the other way to get the ketosis was a hardcore diet where you'd never have carbs and sugars again Meaning no pastas. No rice. No bagels. No desserts Not too much fruit or no fruit in some situations and your body would then burn your own fat You eat a high fat low carb moderate protein diet. So that's what that's how you get into ketosis But basically ketones are an energy you drink. We have a product that you put in ice and water I'm drinking one right now you drink it down 30 minutes later. You have sustainable energy for your brain It helps activate fat burning switch. It helps with sugar and carb cravings It helps with energy and focus and mood It also helps improve sleep. So it helps us get to our natural primitive state so that we can do the things that we love to do my challenges is most people come for fat loss and When they they quit too soon Because things don't think that they're working fast enough and they have to remember that ketones do help with fat metabolism It just can take people longer to burn it my sister. It was two months eight weeks that girl complained I'm not losing weight fast enough. I'm not losing weight fast enough Well, guess what she's down a hundred pounds now if she would have quit anytime in that eight months She would probably be 200 pounds of weight now But she was able to stick to it because I basically said I'll disown you as a sister because she didn't understand is that she Had to get healthy first Her body had to start working better first her digestive systems don't need to start working better Her muscles need to get re-established She needed to get vitality back and a life back and health back and all those things improved Well, when those improve fat metabolism got really good She burned fat burn fat burn and fat burn and fat like like no other It just took time She didn't lose a hundred pounds overnight the truth is it took her I don't know maybe a year and a half to lose 80 and then it took another I don't know two years two and a half years to lose the last 20, right? But she wasn't focused on that anymore. She was focused on living the best version of herself So if you don't know a ketones are and you're checking this out for the first time Send me a message or if somebody invited you to follow me Send them a message and we can get you either a trial pack or get you on the challenge and you can try it out You're gonna love it. It's it's gonna change your life But definitely reach out to whoever invited you or just hit me a message And I'll make sure you get set up with whoever invited you so that you can get your ketones and try it out Um, you know, I love doing q&a. So I'm gonna stay on for a second. If you guys have any questions Let me know but uh real love gal. I love the name though. That's super cool Um But just be careful It's hard when you when when you know a lot about something and you want to Hey, this is really fun. Just for fun If you if ketones have impacted you somehow put down below what they've done for you How much weight have you lost? How much sleep are you better? Are you a better mom? Tell me a little bit about one of the benefits that you've had. I love hearing that it always fills my heart But it's really hard because when you know something Like like I said losing weight and getting healthy. It's actually really simple It is it doesn't make it easy y'all. I get it. I was really sick in my 20s I had an autoimmune disorder getting healthy was easy or simple, but it wasn't easy I had to change a lot of things that I I did my whole life So remember What's really important for us guys is this is that we want to go through a journey and you got to get healthy So when you're looking at using ketones, please judge them on how much better your life is and give them at least I mean 60 90 days 60 90 days joe crafford down 78 pounds Merlin down 65. What's that Merlin? I haven't talked to you a while. We should talk. Let's chat.

That's pretty amazing down 42 pounds again Um, man, they did burpee challenge dustin time. I like burpees All right, y'all so i'm gonna go if there's any questions i'll stick around but I do want you just to protect yourself from the scale Psychologically is what messes us up the three p's of the secret to your success Number one, you got to have a product if we're not we live in a complicated world You need support you need you need an accelerator. This is one of the p's it's product Prove it represents the three p's you got the product number two is the people Probably the most important thing is people you need the right people why I love doing these zooms is because I get energy from you guys positivity. We're a community. We're a team Um, this is a good one. Uh, i'm gonna read it in a second and then the third p is have a plan Too many people are like i'm gonna i want to lose weight and they stop after a week or 10 days or two weeks or two months But does your plan did that fit in your plan? You need to lose 100 pounds It's gonna take time for you to get healthy If you've needed to lose more than 20 pounds for more than two years You're not healthy your body needs to get healthy. So weight loss should be a priority But it shouldn't be your fundamental foundational priority. Your priority should be get healthy And how do you get healthy is you're gonna eat two meals a day Drink your ketones once or twice a day move your body as much as you can Start focusing on low carbs and high quality foods To see how simple it's that simple doesn't make it easy y'all my my kids like food that I can't eat Right doesn't work with my my autoimmune stuff, right? My wife likes foods that my autoimmune doesn't like It doesn't make it easy. I have to avoid when they go out for ice cream. I have to avoid those things Yes, I do because it's important to me to be healthy Does that make sense because my system doesn't isn't allowed to have some of the things that they can have And get away with it. So but here's a testimony. I just got uh cj cg cg at saint germain I'm hoping i'm seeing that right my prosthetic leg Can fit now because my leg and my feet were swollen and retaining too much water That's pretty amazing and saint germain um is cg cg cg. I don't know if i'm saying that you're your first name, right? Mike I mostly don't know this but my father my stepfather who's passed out Uh, he had a prosthetic leg ever since I've known him And from the half the knee or below the knee down and it was funny is you be cg cg It's crazy how many legs we went through and the insurance didn't cover it. So we had to pay a lot of money It was and we didn't have a lot of money growing up. We were pretty pretty poor And so he had to always just use the leg We had belts and we had he had to move multiple socks if he changed his health changed his leg size changed So finding a can consistent process there for prosthetic is really really important. So, um, I actually lived many years that way Working with him helping him try to find the leg so That fit and then finally after many many almost 20 years We were able to get him a new leg that was more adjustable Because at the time he basically had a belt that held his leg on It wasn't suctioned on there was no nothing like that It was like a belt and it was just a cup that he had to hold and he always gets sores and stuff on it So it was crazy. So anyway a little bit about my personal life. Um, y'all i'm gonna go I hope you're all um having a great day If if you haven't tried ketones yet get back to wherever invites you to my platforms Get ketones in your hands.
