Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle


Oct 16, 2019

On the Code Red lifestyle, we teach our Rebels to weigh themselves each morning, no matter what.

The scale is the first line of defense.

But the scale doesn't tell the whole story. There are many ways to measure good health and progress. Be sure to look at the whole picture during your weight loss journey.

The society largely measures good health based on the size of your clothes, based on a number on a scale. Now, of course, we are a weight loss program. We care about the numbers on the scale because that's how we track progress. So we’re not asking you to throw out your scales. What we’re saying is these numbers are only one indicator of good health.

You can use blood work numbers, you can use physical fitness tests, you can use a lot of different ways to measure good health. We don't want you focusing on just one. 

What often happens is that when one number does not change or when there are issues with that number, we freak out. How about your glucose numbers? How about the sugar in your blood? Are you reducing the amount of medication that you're taking? Are you sleeping better? Has the Code Red lifestyle eased off pain? And how about your energy levels?

You can have lemon and cayenne pepper and Diet Coke and you'll lose weight, but you want it healthy, don’t you? Of course, you do, which is why Cari and I are going to walk you through the myriad indicators of good health that a Code Red lifestyle brings to the fore.
