Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle


Nov 20, 2019

People think that being a Code Red rebel means you eat meat, sleep a lot and never have sugar. And yes, that’s true! But what if you keep messing up and cheating? Does that mean you're not a rebel?

Well, there's a lot more to being a rebel than just the scale going down, so much more than just the weight loss. Yes, we lose weight by bringing ourselves back to the proper human diet. Yes, we lose weight by drinking water instead of Red Bulls, wine, soda, juice, tons of coffee. Yes, we heal. Our bodies are able to heal because we are nourishing ourselves on a cellular level.

We're eating the food that we were created to eat. It's a proper human diet. Yes, real food, water, and sleep. We are no longer sleep-deprived. We are no longer chronically dehydrated. Our body is letting go of that bio-accumulated body fat because it no longer needs it. Yes, that is happening. Of course, the scale is dropping. 

To my mind, being a Code Red rebel is about rebelling against what the society has brainwashed us into believing about diets, exercise, weight loss, food meal times, and what have you. 

We do not accept the idea that you’ve got to have your breakfast at eight and lunch at noon, and dinner at six, just because society tells us to. We do what's right for us.  

We rebel against society telling us to eat three meals and two snacks because eating frequently is proven to do damage to the body in many different ways. It keeps insulin levels high. It damages the gut lining. It's terrible for your digestive system. It’s terrible for the hormones. We don't address our weight problem through exercise, because there's no way you can exercise it off. 

Not everybody is hungry at 8 am, but the society says, “You’ve got to have your breakfast at 8 am with us. That’s the most important meal of the day.” That’s baloney. The most important meal of the day is the one that works for you the best way.

If you believe in the Code Red mission statement, falling off the wagon at any point does not mean you’re not a rebel. Stay tuned as I walk you through what it takes...
