Welcome to Fit to Be Real and a little extra.
We are talking food conditioning and unlearning years of bad habits with your relationship with food and what we've been taught and conditioned.
Yeah, very good.
Oh, very good.
Yeah, see what I did there?
See what I did.
Let's do more of that.
Okay.
I'm Victoria.
Hey, guys, I'm Carly.
Can we talk about that for a second?
Oh, yes.
Okay, so I would like to put it out there that anybody that wants to say, hi, I'm and their name, we'd love for you to post it.
Oh my gosh.
Yes, like we want to hear your best.
Hi, guys, I'm Carly.
Or with your name.
Your name.
In your name.
So if you all could do that and tag us, we want to make a video of all of you amazing listeners and how you say your name.
Tag at Fit to Be Real podcast on Instagram.
And this is going to be fun.
I approve.
I support and approve.
I approve this message.
You can also, do I dare say, choose to post your name.
I approve this message. You can also do I dare say, choose to be me and just say, I'm Victoria.
Back to you.
Pick your favorite sister or say your name, however you would say it.
Anyway, big fan of that.
Okay.
Listen, we're going to get right into it because there is a lot of information and we want to get all of it in because it's really, really important.
So where we got these facts and information are from articles from dietitians.
And for me, I get very confused sometimes when people say dietitian versus nutritionist.
I think that's the general consensus because now with, believe it or not, we're going to debunk social media.
Yeah.
All the influence, everyone decides that they are one of these things and they're not.
They're not.
And we listen.
Right.
But we shouldn't.
So a dietitian is, has a BA.
They had to do six to 12 months of the training program.
They have to pass a national exam and then they have to go through continual professional education requirements.
So like just continued education, just like any medical profession every five years.
So they're constantly on the up and up.
They can prescribe medication and individual diet and by diet, not like lose weight, but like a food regimen for people individually.
Yes.
A nutritionist is anyone who wants to call themselves nutritionist.
So there now what it did say was that there it's a state by state thing.
So a state could have a certified nutritionist program in some of their colleges and you could be a certified or licensed nutritionist.
That is true.
That is accurate.
I took a certified test for a specialist in fitness nutrition.
I am not a nutritionist.
Right.
You have your nutrition certificate.
Exactly.
In fitness nutrition.
I'm glad that you said it very differently, but exactly the same.
And just as slow.
Wonderful.
So state by state, it's different. However, anybody can call themselves a nutritionist.
The article literally said my dog's a nutritionist.
That was really funny.
That's just like a fitness instructor.
Hey, I'm a fitness instructor.
Yeah.
Because anybody can be.
Yes.
You know, don't yet.
And that means like, hey, don't trust people that say they're nutritionist on Instagram just as the same as you wouldn't a personal trainer on Instagram.
Exactly.
So they can help you eat for your body type and like cope with a medical disease in terms
of your nutrition.
So basically celiac and like helping you take away inflammation if they have the knowledge
that they had to do on their own to do the research.
So in any case, a dietitian is who you want to go to if you really need to go to a food
specialist.
Right.
And you know, sometimes people do come to us and say, Hey, you know, I have a thyroid
problem or I have this disease or I have that and that's not what we do.
We say, Oh, you should find a dietitian.
Yes.
Because that is not what we specialize in.
I actually am not.
I do not have my nutrition certificate.
That is very hard to say.
We're struggling.
I have an accountability certification, which means I help you keep yourself accountable.
And yes, I went through a program and yes, I went through the whole process and it's
legit, but I am not a nutritionist.
Right.
We're basically humans who have a little more knowledge on how to help other humans meet
some goals that they want to set for themselves.
And it doesn't necessarily have to just be with food.
Correct.
Yeah.
Very good.
So with that said, I hope that kind of opens your eyes a little bit because there's just
so much out there.
I know we sound like broken records.
There's so much out there.
Don't listen to it.
Make sure you filter through the bad and the good.
It's really hard to do that though.
Some people are really good at putting the act on and it's, you know, you could easily
be like, Oh, they said that they look legit.
That is law.
Yeah.
And that's not true.
So dietitian is the way to go.
Where we got our information today, obviously we'll put in the show notes, but it's all
based off of dietitian information and it's legit.
Yes.
Yeah.
And they're also legit to quit.
However, quit all these things to legit to quit.
Hey, hey.
Sorry, I had to get one song in there.
In did it early.
And that was a wrap.
So these are things that we have been taught for years and years and years that are said
to be fact, but they are in fact not.
Facts.
They are not fact.
They have created a relationship with food and lifestyle in our heads and it's not necessarily
true.
So we've heard a lot.
There's no bad foods.
Just eat a balanced diet.
Now that is true.
Eat balanced.
But like drugs and like toxic people in your life, you have to limit time with them.
So there are some foods better than others and there are some foods that are bad for
you.
It's just true.
So yes, that's a great mentality to keep balanced, but you stay away from a can of
Coke and a piece of or loaf of white bread.
Right?
Like these are bad foods.
Yes.
I mean that's plain and simple.
Yeah.
End of it.
Juicing is a great idea to lose weight.
Boo.
I actually have done juicing before.
Oh same.
It's horrible to try to function as a human and just be drinking these.
Find you tasty.
Yeah, sure.
Like juice, mace and jars, but oh my gosh, worst time of my life.
It leaves you with cutting calories and mostly carbs.
Right.
Like all of the juices are mostly carbs.
So carbs are not bad for you.
That's another myth.
But when you're only eating the carbs from a fruit or juice, it lacks protein and healthy
fats and they're what keep you full so that you don't get ravenous and hungry and then
make bad decisions.
So you want the protein and the healthy fat.
You want regular food.
Juicing is not anywhere close to losing weight because you might drop water and then you're
immediately going to gain actual fat cells back.
I think the words detox and cleanse is what gets people.
Trigger words.
Yeah.
And guess what?
It just makes it worse.
Eating eight glasses of water per day is recommended for every single person in the world.
Yes and no.
The no is what they say is because every single body is completely different.
So the requirements for each individual body are not cut and dry, one size fit all.
The only way to really know whether you're hydrated or dehydrated is to check what you're
putting in the toilet.
Yep.
That's exactly right.
So urine, if it is a dark color and if there's not a lot of it when you go, you're severely
dehydrated.
You want to keep a pale color with a lot of liquid and that's how you know that you're
hydrated, you're healthy, your body and your organs are able to proper functionally and
everything is okay.
I jump up and down for a living and I constantly have to go to bathroom.
So I find myself stopping at a certain time before I have to teach and then, you know,
what's it called?
Chugging.
Yeah.
Before I go to bed and you should just drink all day long.
I mean, it's annoying to have to go to bathroom all the time, but it is so healthy for you
and that eventually stops.
Like if you are not used to drinking a lot of water and all of a sudden you're drinking
all day long, it will even out.
Yeah, your body gets used to it like anything else.
It's a habit that your body understands is a consistency and then it knows how to regulate
it better for you.
So if you can get over the hump of frequent bathroom runs, hump day, then you'll be alright
in the long run.
Also, can we talk about how you forgot the word chugging?
I know.
That's so unlike me.
I love a good chug.
Oh, God.
You should only fill up on superfoods.
I read this one.
Superfoods, are you ready for this?
I love it.
I love it already.
It's not a real thing.
Someone made it up to sell things.
It's a marketing ploy.
The word superfoods, super greens, super this, super that, super healthy to have that.
It's super healthy.
It's super healthy to have the green powder that if you need some more nutrients in your
day and you're not getting the recommended vegetable intake.
Yeah, they're wonderful.
But a superfood list, and if you read off what the list of superfoods are, if a bit,
like a banana is not on the superfood list, right?
A banana is incredibly healthy and wonderful for you.
But what the superfood list does is keep us and deter us from actually eating other proper
foods for our diet.
And so it is 100% a marketing ploy for headlines because the headlines have to be met and they
have to grab people.
And that's exactly what the word superfood does.
You eat vegetables, protein, fruit, balanced diet.
That's all you need to do.
That was super.
Gluten free is healthier.
Right.
Carly free is healthier.
That's a fact.
Gluten free is healthier, not so much factual.
So to avoid gluten should really only be for medical reasons.
It came out as like this Hollywood thing.
We've talked about this before.
I don't know why.
I know, and I don't even understand why.
Well, I did it because I thought I was trying to find a medical issue.
Right.
I did it because you did it and I do whatever you do.
You're the problem of the world.
It's me.
Hi.
I'm going to do that every time.
I don't care.
So here's the problem with gluten free for somebody who doesn't necessarily have to
be gluten free.
The products vary in sugars and fats and other processed nutrients to fill the void of the
gluten that has been manufactured to be taken out.
So anything that has to be manufactured in our foods that we're putting in our body is
already a no go.
Now if you have celiac, yes, it's wonderful.
Go for them.
They're making them for you.
They're keeping you safe.
They're keeping your body functioning properly.
But if you are not gluten free, there is absolutely nothing wrong with gluten.
Gluten is not going to help you drop weight or eliminating gluten is not going to help
you drop weight.
It's not a healthier lifestyle.
What you're doing is stopping nutrients in your body because of a headline.
Gluten free products will actually make you gain weight, to be honest.
Boom.
I said it.
I said what I said.
You need to cut carbs for weight loss.
And I've said this before and I'm choosing to say it again because it is the number one
misconception for health weight loss programs.
You whole grain carbs and whole grain starches are packed with vitamin B. They come with
fibers.
It keeps the digestive system humming.
So you know like an engine of a car that's like what fiber does to your body so that
it constantly is working for you and not against you.
I like that visual.
And it prevents constipation.
Carb avoiders are constipated.
Think about yourself.
Are you constipated?
Are you eating any carbs in your life?
Carb but explain.
Carbs don't just mean pasta.
No, no, no.
Not carbs meaning pasta, even though that's okay technically.
Carbs, fruits, vegetables.
Yes, there's that type of stuff.
Yeah, quinoa.
That has carb in it.
Yes, it's a protein but it has carbohydrates.
It has carbohydrates in it and people are just conditioned, which is what we're talking
about, to think carbs, bad, pasta, bad.
Carbs are what give you energy to perform movement, daily function and workouts.
Not protein.
Carbohydrates.
You need carbohydrates.
Your body works off the carbs to get the energy.
Protein is help for your muscles.
So if you eliminate carbs, you are really doing your body a disservice.
But good, good, wholesome, full-rounded carbohydrates.
That's what we're talking about.
No cutting carbs from the eye valve to never cut carbs again.
Right?
Because we all have done it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it is, it's a falsity.
So don't do that.
A falsity?
A falsity.
Listen, you can tell your health, mental and physical by your gut, by your digestive system.
If it's not humming, there's something wrong.
And sometimes it's mental and you have a mental health issue and you can take note that your
gut and your mental health are not actually in alignment.
It's 90% of what you're eating.
If you take note that your gut and your physical health are not aligning, it's 90%.
Your intake.
Yeah.
That's what you're putting in your body.
End of story.
Thank you.
Last one.
Last one is good because it piggybacks off that a little bit.
Pasta makes you fat.
Not true.
And I still struggle with this one because this is a deep condition of just pasta is
not good for you.
Yeah.
Right?
Italian restaurants are not the way to go for a healthy blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
That is a falsity.
Very good.
Thank you for making fun of me, but also using the word right.
There is no food that can make you fat.
Nope.
Not one food item.
I like your sound effects.
I know.
I just have noticed that I've just been adding my two cents because I agree with you, but
I like to put my own spin on it.
Yeah.
Like a little troll.
That's very, very good.
No one food item is the reason the portion, the preparation and the lifestyle balance.
I mean, that's that honest to God.
We've all been there.
I said, I have gained.
I'm only at 20 now, but I had gained 30 this past year of the big drop that I had had
previously because my portions were off.
My preparation for myself and my life was off and timing.
I mean, everything.
Yeah.
Timing, sleep, digest, stress, stress.
What I was caring about, where my mental state was in where I felt at the time, I'm on the
up and up now.
It wasn't pasta.
Because I never put pasta in my mouth.
I never put pasta because I still had that conditioning.
I never ate pasta.
There's not a food.
If you want pasta, great.
Pack it with vegetables.
Put the great gravy.
It's gravy.
That's another episode.
Gravy.
Put the gravy on top.
Put some meatballs in there.
Have a great meal.
Put vegetables with it.
Make it nutritionally packed.
And it's a great, well-rounded meal in the right portion.
Right.
I was just going to say, but you got a portion in the right portion.
End of story.
I'm losing my weight, by the way.
Everything's great.
She's doing a great job with her portions, her preparing and her packing, her veggies.
Yes.
PPP.
And my PPP looks great.
Oh my God, we are children.
We are honest to God, children.
Wait, I sent Carly and a few of our friends, hey, Kate, Nicole, a meme or a gif, a little
video for you to talk.
I don't even know.
And it was like, let me be the reminder for you today.
You need to hear this, I want to reach out to my friends and say this to you.
And it was someone lipping all of this and it like took a moment.
And then he went, PPP, PPP, PPP, PPP, PPP, PPP.
And then it stopped.
I laughed for hours.
Because it's just silly.
That's how I feel right now.
I know.
I mean, that's how we sound right now.
So listen, everything other than this last little bit.
Everything that we just rattled off are from dietitians.
That's their factual information.
Scientific.
That we need to decondition ourselves from thinking this way about food and lifestyle.
But we're not done here.
No, I'm done.
OK, well, she may be done.
And that's great.
Congrats to you.
You're so nice.
It is my turn and I know you are all waiting with bated breath.
PPP.
They're what I have to say.
Fresh produce is healthier than frozen or canned.
Not true.
You want to know why?
No, that was so bad.
You need to work on that for everyone.
But nice try.
Thank you so much for your honesty.
Veggies actually lose up to 55% of their vitamin C from the time that they're picked to the
time of the grocery shelf like regular vegetable.
Yes.
So they lose 55% of the vitamin C. Veggies that are frozen keep the vitamins because
they are immediately frozen.
So some of them that are canned have a little bit of salt in them, which is preservative.
Yeah, it's OK.
It's not great, but it's not unhealthy.
And you're going to save some dollar dollar bills.
All right, next one.
Plant based milk is better than dairy.
This is actually not true.
It comes down to tolerance and preference.
Oh, so that's the everybody is individual.
Yes.
So I like plant based milk for me and the way my body feels.
I like it better than cow's milk, but skim milk has 10 grams of protein, like a cup of
it, whereas I'm a milk only has one gram.
Sometimes the skim milk has more sugar, though.
Yes.
So you have to look at the nutritional facts.
Eating more will always make you gain weight.
No, eating more will not always make you gain weight.
It's the types of food that make you gain weight.
Tell me why.
Ultra processed foods, sugars, sodas, they're going to make you gain weight.
Right.
OK, you can have one soda versus a bowl of broccoli and the soda is going to make you
gain weight.
Oh, sure.
What helps with the weight loss is the mindset and shift from counting calories to priorities
and prioritizing health.
That is the whole shift.
Quality over quantity, people.
Let me tell you, let me tell you, she's fired up right now.
She is using her hands.
She is getting red in the face.
You know why?
Because this is why I'm going to tell you why.
Tell me why.
Do you want me to be real and extra?
When people come and they say, I work out every single day.
Why am I not losing weight?
It's what you're eating and the quantity of what you're eating.
That is what's going to help you in addition to the exercises.
So what we try and do here is we try and explain why, why this is happening, you know, because
it's not known to everybody.
Just like it wasn't known to us in the beginning.
You can change if you want yourself to change.
All right.
That was a good tip.
Red meat is bad for me.
Nope.
Just in moderation.
Sea salt is better than normal salt.
Salt is salt.
Okay.
A little bit is okay.
This one's the one that got me.
If you're saying, I don't drink soda, but I drink smoothies and juices.
Why aren't I losing weight?
Same, Z's.
Why?
Because.
I'm going to tell you why.
Juices and smoothies lack the fiber because you're getting rid of the skin.
Okay.
The skin is gone.
When they're blended, the natural sugar is released and it becomes what is called free
sugar.
Guess what's in soda?
Free sugar.
If you may be drinking, I'm going to make this easy for you, a venti smoothie or a venti
juice versus a can of Coke.
It's the same thing.
Basically, if you're going to Starbucks and you think you're doing better because you're
getting one of their iced teas versus a really indulgent frappuccino, it's the same.
Yeah.
We're not telling you to not have a smoothie and a juice.
Absolutely not.
But just know that there are sugars in it because that's how they sell it to you.
So, bottom line, just make sure you know what's in what you're eating and keep it as clean
as possible because all the added sugars make it, even though it sounds good and the marketing
sounds good, it's sometimes just as bad as a soda.
You can watch Carly in your mind walk into Starbucks with her basic B girl outfit on,
right?
Crossbody bag, hat because the paparazzi's outside and she's going, can I have you?
Can I have your venti oat milk frappuccino with no whip and one pump?
No, two pumps.
I just did that the other day.
Are you kidding?
I literally said, can I have one pump?
No, can I have two pumps?
I literally did that because I was like, oh, I'm going to be bad today.
I'm going to be bad today.
I walk in and I'm like, I don't know.
Can I have your big one?
Just black.
Yeah.
I'm 100% wearing sunglasses in the store.
Hey, guys.
I'm Carly.
I'm wearing a trash bag.
It doesn't even matter because nutrition advice keeps changing every year.
Not true.
It has been the same.
Everything keeps changing because of social media and marketing and selling things, but
nutrition has stayed the same since the 1950s.
There is a study at NYU in 1962 that said, eat food, not too much, mostly plants and
everything in moderation.
And that is the way to go.
That is the most important.
If you take nothing away from this, take that away.
And that is how they try to avoid obesity and type two diabetes in the 1950s.
And that is how they try to avoid it today.
It's not that hard.
We all just want a quick fix.
And we really are all ingrained with this methodology of don't do this and do this and
don't do this and do this and who's right?
No one's right.
What they're doing except for the dietitians who went to school for this and also are really
just learning what everyone's always known.
Yes.
They just know it a little bit better.
Yeah.
Basic is best.
We're going to play Carly on the Spot.
You didn't tell me this.
Honestly, God, I said literally what Carly on the Spot means.
We're fighting.
So this is super fun.
It's nothing serious at all.
But is it a superfood?
It's a super fun superfood about super sugars.
Let's see how much knowledge Carly has on how much sugar are in all of these.
I don't know.
No, no, no.
Not by the number.
Just clear me out.
All right.
Fine.
I took this from a list that says at maximum, which probably isn't recommended to reach
50 grams of sugar.
Okay.
Would be like a daily no, no, but like, okay.
Yeah.
How many cans of Coke would reach a portion of our maximum?
Three.
One.
Oh, God.
The answer is one.
One can of Coke is 39 grams.
How many little yo play strawberry yogurts?
You want to know something?
I have these in my fridge for the kids and they don't like them.
Oh, no way.
But I can't throw them away because I'm conditioned not to throw food away.
You should probably have like you could have two yo play yogurts.
Correct.
Really?
Two is 26 grams each.
Okay.
To reach the 50 grams.
But here's here's a little fun fact that's not part of the game.
It only has 4.9 grams of protein in it.
So the sugar is higher than the protein.
So the nutritional value is really not there.
Greek yogurt has 14 and a half grams of protein and four grams of sugar.
Greek.
So how many bowls of frosted flakes?
I'm going to go with like one.
Five.
Holy.
I five each serving, which is like one bowl and a bowl is, you know, what's that?
10.3 grams of sugar.
That is insane.
It's just feeding yourself sugar.
How many spoons of smuckers grape jelly?
I wanted to call it smuckers.
You smucker in one day to meet your 50 grams.
I'm going to go with 10.
Four.
What?
So I mean spoonfuls.
Right.
So if you think of spoon as a table spoon.
A table spoon.
Four.
Ten.
Four.
I know.
I'm saying I don't agree.
Oh, well, great.
One tablespoon is 12 grams of sugar.
Yikes.
Just for a tablespoon.
So four of them is the recommended.
Let me tell you something.
You're not using four on a sandwich.
You're using way more than four to make a sandwich.
10.
Oh my gosh, I'm going to hurt you.
Now add bread, probably for your kids, white bread, not yours, but in general.
Then add peanut butter, which is high sugar.
Your kids intake is past the maximum in one sandwich for the day for the entire day and
probably filtering into the next day because it's way too much.
And then you're going to add snacks and then you're going to add a piece of candy for dessert.
You know, like, you're killing your kids.
Okay.
How many bottles of Gatorade?
This has got to be like one cup of Gatorade, honestly.
Your spot on.
It's less than a 32 ounce bottle.
Yeah, it's got to be.
A whole 32 is 54.4 grams of sugar.
So like one regular bigger size of Gatorade.
So less than that.
Like you can't drink the whole thing and you'll hit the 50.
How many times at a sporting event did we just get thrown Gatorade?
Oh my God.
As water.
They say coconut water is better for all athletes in those moments to get what you need, like
electrolytes and everything from Gatorade is poison.
Damn.
That was very good.
Yeah.
Okay.
She's all right.
She's okay.
Everything's all right.
It's all right.
How many pints of ice cream?
Well, for me, I can do one in one sitting.
So that's no big deal.
I think of just like a red don't go like crazy with Ben and Jerry's.
Think of just like the cookie dough.
Don't think like all their specialty ones, you know, they have all this stuff.
Half a pint.
Really?
Half a pint for the day is 52 grams.
Okay.
All right.
How many donuts glaze like a glaze donut?
Not fancy.
Shmancy.
Duncan.
All right.
I'm going to go with two donuts for.
Oh, really?
Where one donut of Duncan glazed is 12 grams.
So four of that would be over enough.
I well, yeah, that's insane.
Krispy Kreme like their versions of glaze.
I think it's called like ice something.
That's 19.
Yikes.
Like if there's a donut religiously on your counter, Carly, are you?
I know you're looking at me.
We grew up Sundays after church.
We were allowed to have a box, mom bought one box of the Entomans like variety pack.
Variety pack.
Yeah.
And ours were the favorite ones besides chocolate.
I like the chocolate ones.
The little ones with the balls or the cinnamon.
It's like the coffee cinnamon roll like with the little balls on the top and you take the
balls off and you eat them that way first because that's what I did it.
And I don't even know what that gram of sugar intake is, but like even one of them a week,
it's just not worth it.
It's not worth it.
Very good, Carly.
You kind of won, but kind of lost.
Like you were either over or spot on.
I'm not too sure.
But very under.
We're going to leave you with one last little tidbit here.
We're going to rattle off things that we hear all the time that are just BS.
Number one, we don't eat.
I mean, there's nothing to say there.
We 100% eat and we eat a lot.
That's that you just assume they run on sunshine and adrenaline.
Yeah, I eat Carly.
No, but so that's not true.
It's just not true.
One of the biggest insults I get.
So if you've ever said this to me, I apologize.
Don't apologize.
Okay.
It's very insulting.
Go eat a cheeseburger.
That really is insulting to me because I do eat, but I also work very hard telling somebody
that's really skinny or fit to eat a cheeseburger is insulting.
So don't do that to anybody.
It's like telling someone who's overweight that they should probably go on a diet.
It's the same thing whether you think you're being funny.
It's really how you feel about yourself that you're saying that.
So we know that.
We hope you know that.
Yeah.
That's just a little.
We only eat healthy food.
Now, I just told you I gained 30 pounds this year.
I do not only eat healthy food.
We eat.
Again, we eat.
We eat everything.
Next one.
Immoderation.
Yeah.
We judge what you eat.
We absolutely do not judge what anybody else eats.
Now, people will run away from us in the grocery store or like be embarrassed of their cart
or hide their cart.
And I'm like, Hey, you should, can you look at mine?
You should look in mine.
When people do that all the time, they're like, Oh, these are for my kids.
I'm like, Yeah, look at mine.
I've got donuts, ice cream.
Yeah.
I've got all the things we just said, don't eat in my cart.
I have pretzels.
Yeah.
I'm not judging anybody else because we've been there.
We only focus on weight loss 100% of the time.
I would say in our unhealthier days when we were trying to lose weight, yes.
Like right now that's my main focus because I'm in the process of getting healthy again.
So like when you're in that phase, yes, as a health or a fitness professional, just
like live in your life teaching classes and training people.
God, no, if that's all you're thinking about, like you're doing life wrong.
Yeah.
So no, it's our job.
So it's easy for us to lose weight.
I just gained 30 pounds.
If anything else is 100% harder for us because we're constantly on top of ourselves and hard
on ourselves.
So no, that is a myth.
No, what was it again?
It's our job.
So it's easy for us to lose weight when you're in the fitness and nutrition profession.
We still have normal lives to live and we still have normal brains to try to uncondition
and figure out how to go through all of this.
So it doesn't make it any easier even though we're working out more.
If anything, it makes it harder.
It makes it harder.
Yeah.
I mean, that gets me fired up.
Yeah, I know.
I know it does because when people when we lost a bunch of weight, they were like, well,
it's easy for you because you work out all day long.
We do not work out all day long.
Sometimes we don't ever get to work out in the day because we're doing so much of the
other stuff that you need to do to own a business that we don't have time to work out.
Long story short, it is not easy for us to be successful in fitness because it's our
job.
It is sometimes harder.
Sometimes it's so hard to get on stage and teach you all and be happy about it that you
get on the couch at the end of the night and you bag of pretzels and then all of a sudden
you're fat again.
And then you have to go and do the cycle again and get up on stage and be like, no, everyone,
I am happy.
I am feeling great about myself.
Go into giant and get in a bag of chips.
And that's when we thank our mom for her theater degree because we got to use it sometimes
more than others.
We acting.
We have a bunch of Oscars and Tony awards.
We've given ourselves in our holder in the bar.
I don't even know what I'm saying.
I know.
I'm so annoyed.
But yeah.
I knew that one would get you.
It's not a big deal.
Okay.
It's not a big deal.
That's no big deal.
No, you don't have to explain it.
All right.
That's NBD.
Last one.
This is actually not a myth.
This is actual fact.
We know all the big secrets to weight loss.
Eat less.
Do more.
Eat clean.
Exercise.
That is how you lose weight.
That's it.
Yep.
And be happy about it.
A proper mindset, a healthy mindset.
Focus on health.
Focus on loss.
Values and peaks.
You're going to go up.
You're going to go down.
You're going to stay the same.
You're going to move it all around.
Hey, move it all around.
Hey.
So you might talk about real tips.
I'm not sure, actually.
Track attack.
What does track attack mean?
We're going to do an episode where I act like you and you act like 1 million percent.
That's the next one.
Track your food on a regular day.
Don't change anything.
Be honest.
There's 100% honesty requirement with this tip.
All it's going to do is help you notice how much food you're eating in one day or how
much food you're not eating.
9 times out of 10, you're not eating enough food or enough of the proper foods.
It's just a really good way to open your eyes to what a day in the life of your life looks
like.
See what that day does for you, if it's good or maybe could be a little bit better.
And then, of course, make some changes or decisions to improve off of that day.
And now for your real extra tip of the week, it's called GoVintage.
What does GoVintage mean?
I'll tell you.
GoVintage.
I am a big fan of the 1950s.
I think that's the era I should have lived in.
And after doing some research, I saw that the size of the plate in 1950 and 1960 was
nine inches.
In 2023, the average size plate, dinner plate, is between 11 and a half and 14 inches.
My God.
So guess what that means?
We are filling up our plate a lot more than we were in the 1950s.
So your extra tip of the week is to find a smaller plate.
Go to the store, buy four, four of them, smaller plates, and eat your meals off of that.
Also, I think Carly wants to be in the 1950s strictly for the fashion.
I know.
A million percent.
There's nothing else about the 1950s.
So we want to go just for the fashion.
Just for the fashion.
Listen, she loves a poodle skirt.
Exactly.
I love the fashion in the 1950s.
I don't cook.
I don't clean.
I go to work.
I don't listen to my husband.
Okay, we just want to remind you, even in the 1950s, you are always fit to be real and
always allowed to be a little extra.
