49: How Weight Loss Has Brought A Cascade Of Benefits For Todd And His Family

Feb 26, 2020

Tipping the scales at 315, Todd became painfully aware that his weight was impairing his draft horse's performance. He had no idea that being on the Code Red Lifestyle would not only help him drop 100 lbs but get off medications, give him loads of energy and improve his mood! You won't believe his story.

Around 300 pounds, his doctor was telling him: “Hey, you really shouldn't gain any weight.”

And indeed, he was having problems. His knees hurt, he went for a hip replacement surgery, and his left foot was majorly injured in the aftermath of two accidents, and more weight was being put on it. 

He’s felt crappy for so long. He didn't know what feeling good felt like. So he joined the 10-pound takedown challenge, he switched his diet to meat, vegetables, nuts, eggs, seeds, seafood and fat, and he got off the crap that was causing him to have high blood sugar, high blood pressure or high cholesterol - all of this stuff that we want to avoid and he started feeling better. And as of today, he weighs 226 pounds.

He moves faster now. He climbs on to haystacks, in and out of tractors and forklifts, and feels so much younger, nimble, doing all of that. His knees and joints feel better.

And so, the healing is taking place, the energy and productivity have increased, and the mood enhanced.

Stay tuned to know more.

Key Points of Discussion:

• A couple of accidents were hard on Todd’s left leg (3:38)
• “You've got to keep the weight off because everything's going to be hard as you put weight on, on joints, on the knees, hips...” (5:45)
• He thought: here he was putting these horses through this kind of a regimen and all he was eating was cheeseburgers while they were waiting there and getting bigger and bigger (6:44)
• Todd’s wife took the 10-pound takedown challenge and they saw immediate success as regards dropping some weight fast (9:24)
• As of now, he weighs 226 pounds, way down from 315 pounds (14:09)
• The weight is way down on the list compared to all the pain he is free from now… (15:23)
• Todd and his wife are both on a pretty good schedule where they both eat together and it's just worked out really well, the food and everything… (16:51)
• His sister-in-law joined the August challenge and she’s done well too. It's just had a little bit of a ripple effect in the family (17:59)
• Todd was earlier on a sugar candy addict like crazy (19:05)
• So much of good and success right from day one didn't leave either of them - Todd or his wife - with much of a trust issue (20:11)
• Once they got rid of that sugar and everything came alive, healthy foods were so much more palatable (22:10)
