26: How To Introduce Your Family To Code Red (And How Not To Do It!)

Sep 18, 2019

Introducing Code Red to family members could be tricky! In this episode, we will be giving you tips and tricks on how to navigate this rocky terrain and also what NOT to do. 

 

Whether it’s your first time going on a weight loss program or it’s your 25th attempt, we think it’s best that you prove it to yourself that you can stick to it before introducing the lifestyle to your immediate family. Once you know that you can stick to it, then you loop in your family. 

 

This lifestyle shift takes a lot of effort on your part, but it also takes a lot of effort from your family, especially if they aren’t in weight loss mode - or have no desire to. 

 

Combine this with the fact that one of our biggest rules when you first get on Code Red is you've got to clear out the pantry and you have an interesting situation. 

 

So what do you do when you when this is one of our core rules but you have this family that is not interested in your new lifestyle?

 

Stay tuned and Cari and I will walk you through it.
