Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle

Welcome back everyone!  First of all I want to thank you for listening to this podcast.   Today I wanted to make a special reminder here regarding the intro of every single podcast.  "I'm Cristy Code Red, and you're listening to rebel, weight loss, and lifestyle where we believe food has the power to heal or poison. And we believe our society has been misled regarding proper nutrition and weight loss." I wanted to point that out because every single week I release a new episode and in the Code Red Lifestyle app we have content every single day that to make sure that you are no longer mislead, to make sure that you have everything that you need to be healthy on every level of your life. Now for today's episode I want to ask you why do we as people eat to pass the time? Now at Code Red we do not snack, we do not talk about snacks, it is just not part of the Code Red lifestyle. So if you find yourself wanting to eat to pass the time you might be asking well what can you do? 1. Chew gum 2. Stay hydrated Don't for

Today on Rebel Weight Loss and Lifestyle we discuss struggling through things vs. working hard at things in life. We all have things in life that is just not worth it, not worth it for your health or for your happiness.  Do you have things in your life that you absolutely struggle through? What do you mean Cristy, you asked.  Being in a place of being miserable can truly do more harm than good. So a few examples here: Cari hates to run, she will not run very far or for very long especially if you put her on a treadmill.  Now put Cari on the stairs and she will go longer, go farther and truly get more out of the experience including wanting to do it again another time. Or Cristy had a very rough time doing evening meetings for Code Red.  She did not give as much to the meetings that she needed to for the other participants and she was not gaining anything by being there at an evening meeting.  So guess what, Code Red meetings now never happen in the evening allowing everyone to get more from Cristy during thos

Today on Rebel Weight Loss and Lifestyle Cristy and Cari talk all about sleep and more importantly tracking your sleep to get better sleep. We use a scale to track our weight loss but so many do not do anything to track their sleep.   In comes tracking our sleep and we mentioned having a FitBit to help you measure and just in case you are in need of getting one I have made it easier for you.  Just hit the link and you are there:  Fitbit Charge 3 Fitness Activity Tracker https://amzn.to/3tHfVGQ   As a reminder we are not affiliated with Fitbit   Key Takeaways:   (Cristy 8:22) All three steep sleep stages are equally important, light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep, all, give you a different type of recovery and they're all equally important   (Cari 10:33)  Since I got the watch and not the watch itself, but being aware of my sleep has changed.  My sleep habits, just having a number and knowing where I need to improve, because you could get beautiful amount in each sleep stage, but if you didn't quite get eno

Welcome back to another episode of Rebel Weight Loss and Lifestyle.   It's time for an AMA (ask me anything) where Instagram fans and followers sent in a dozen questions, and you get raw, real, honest, unrehearsed response from me! I love these, so I hope you love them, too. Every once in a while, we do one of these Q&As and give our listeners and fans the opportunity to ask me any question they have about anything. So, thank you to all those who sent in their questions during the month of September.  Below are the questions that are answered in this episode: Are you completely over your sugar addiction? Building your immune system What made you love makeup? What kind of dessert can you have? Can we be best friends?  I feel like you would be fun to be around How is Miles doing?  We haven't seen him in a while How to deal with hunger pangs when removing snacks from our diet? Do you get tired of being on social media so much?  Do you crave privacy? How did you and Miles meet? Best way to kick night time urg

Health diminishes with your BMI increasing. That is clear.   In this episode we discuss health and happiness and we ask the question can you really be healthy at any weight? We all have metabolic markers; blood pressure, A1C, triglycerides, fasting glucose and waist circumference, if you're morbidly obese, you're going to fail that one. Even if you passed almost all of these metabolic markers, it's not okay for you to be overweight or obese or morbidly obese. With that said can you really be healthy at any weight?  I don't think so... --------------------------------------------- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click here to take the 10-pound takedown challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb

This conversation may not be universally agreed upon.  Maybe a few of you take offense to this topic.  I believe it is too important to not talk about this. No more victims here in Code Red.   Let's stop and think for a moment and digest this information; Maybe you are the problem because it's nobody's job to keep you happy. Did you know that? It's nobody's job to keep you happy. It is not your spouse's job. It is not your partner's job to keep you happy. It is not your kid's job to keep you happy. It is not your boss's job to keep you happy. It is not your pastor's job to keep you happy. It is not your mother-in-law's job to keep you happy. It is nobody's job to keep you happy. So if you're unhappy with your life, it is your responsibility to change.  This mentality holds true for EVERYTHING in your life not just happiness. So stop and think for a moment, maybe it is you that needs to make an adjustment because maybe you are the problem and only you are the one who can fix it. -------------------------------

Today on Rebel Weight Loss and Lifestyle my dog Vince makes the discussion.  Here the story of how Vince came into my life and how going on a run is not enough for a dog to live up to his potential?  How can I fix this you ask, listen in to find out more. I wanted to pull this quote out from the show because I believe that we all deserve to find what we are supposed to be doing in life and I talked about it for a second and I really hope you hear me when I say it.   "If you're trying to find what you are good at. If you're trying to find your potential, if you're trying to identify your calling, what you were designed for, because I'll tell you right now, I was designed for exactly this I'm doing exactly what I'm meant to do. I'm doing exactly what I'm anointed to do. This is exactly what I've been put on this earth to do.  Code Red.  Weight loss.  If you're trying to find what my best advice is and you don't know what that is, my best advice is this, just throw things against the wall and see what sticks, ju

Today on Rebel Weight Loss and Lifestyle we are discussing 4 mainstream lies keeping you obese, or fat or overweight.  Whatever you want to call it we are going through 4 of those lies today. Lie #1 - "Well it's just I can't lose that baby weight" - If you just had a baby you do not need to be back to your normal weight immediately after you have a child but at some point it is time to get moving and get that weight off. Lie #2 - "Weight gain is a part of getting older and there's nothing you can do about it" - Age is just a number.  It doesn't have to be an issue and in Code Red we have had over 60,000 people achieve their goals and it all has nothing to do with age.  We have so many examples of proving this within Code Red. Lie #3 - "Well, you're overweight because that's just how you're built" -  I know there is frame size, small, medium, and large frame size for people but a bigger frame does not mean you should be overweight. Lie #4 - "Your obesity is genetic. You'll always be fat" - Genetics do play a r

You're going to need to do some work in order to let your mind catch up with your body. It's going to take some work. You can't just sit around and just think it's going to happen. Especially if you've been heavy for awhile. You've got to deal with the things that are going on but today we are talking about the 3 weight loss struggles no one tell you about; 1. People tell you, you look great. And that you don't need to lose any more weight.   2. You get more attention than you're used to. 3. Your mind can't keep up with the changes to your body as you lose weight. That's right listen in today on Rebel, Weight Loss and lifestyle to get the details about these three struggles that no one tells you about.  Just a reminder the Code Red Lifestyle is a place where we believe food holds the power to heal or poison. And we believe our society has been misled regarding proper nutrition and weight loss. You're in the right place. If you're looking for some straight up truth, because I'm here to shed light on the lies a

In today's episode we are sharing practical scenarios and practical situations of what would be a friend that you wouldn't want to have and what would a good friend say that you do want to keep around. I know we might get a few comments about this episode but this is so important when you are working to be better in life, better in health, a better spouse.  We all have people in life that are just not good for us in certain situations but we never talk about this subject. Do you have clear boundaries for everything in life? Do you have low confidence?  If you do, it will be harder to maintain your boundaries and say no to the things that do not fit your goals. So a good friend is one that respects your boundaries... Are you having conversations to set expectations of the day or the week or anything that you are trying to accomplish?  These conversation can really set the tone and allow your good friends to prove the respect that they have for you. Are your friends providing you with positive energy?  Are they

Today's topic we are super excited to discuss.  We're talking about normalizing weight loss anxiety. Cristy had a true confession... People have lost different types and different amounts of weight with the Code Red Lifestyle.  It's just that everybody's got the weight loss anxiety, but Cristy didn't even really know this was a problem until Carrie really started paying attention to the Code Red community and saw people were struggling with it.  What are some of the reasons that anxiety would happen? Big event and clothes not fitting?  Really hungry and your traveling?  Doing activities that takes you off your normal schedule?  Afraid what someone will think if you do not eat that food that someone offers you in a social situation? Tune in and find out that you are not alone and we have ways to get through it! Enjoy and thank you for listening! --------------------------------------------- You heard me talking about my amazing blue light blockers and I wanted to make sure you had a discount for all of my Rebe

"You will park at the point of this pain and you will not move forward because you're not going to be blessed with more" Cristy It is so hard to truly move forward and AWAY from a big pain in your life especially when the pain is caused by someone specific.  We can say we forgive, we can say we will move on but you will not be truly done with it until you have truly gotten to the point of being better from the pain and not bitter from it. I know this takes work.  I know it can be hard.  I know that when you do not have bitterness you will be able to be truly happy and truly receive in your life!

I decided to ask you what your assumptions were about me. The response was both hilarious and interesting! Assumption #1 - you are good at all sports and very competitive You always win. Answer: Partly. That's true. Partly it's not true. I am barely good at all sports. I just think when you're athletic and you have. Good coordination and balance and agility and speed. And, you know, you can adapt to all sports and very competitive actually. No, I'm not very competitive. I've seen these athletes that, that are like, I'll stop at nothing to win and you know, and I'm gonna win. Assumption #2 - is you don't eat cake. Answer: That would be a correct assumption. I don't eat cake. Cake is not something that I go to. It's not my drug of choice. It's not something that I'm going to go seek out. It's not something that I'm going to be like, Ooh, make sure I get a piece of cake. If anything, I might have a bite of cake just to see what it tastes like. But even then, it's just not something that I really care a whole lot

So many relationship problems happen when we have expectations of the other person that are unmet. They could be perfectly reasonable expectations or unrealistic expectations.

The grass is always greener... People admire other people's toys, car, house, spouse... they think that person's life is better than theirs. People think this shake or pill or diet plan will be the magic one that makes everything PERFECT. But the reality is there is no perfect diet or spouse or job. The grass might look greener on the other side of the fence but you have no idea what it took to achieve that. And things are rarely what they SEEM.
