[00:55] Embracing Changes To Succeed On Your Health Journey Larry had to embrace change and make his health a priority to succeed. In the past, Larry was morbidly obese and had IBS, bloody gums, bloody stools, severe asthma, allergies, depression, and brain fog. One day, Larry stopped buying bread and pasta. Plus, he threw out the canola oil and did a whole pantry makeover. Larry recommends reading Grain Brain: https://www.amazon.com/Grain-Brain-Surprising-Sugar-Your-Killers/dp/031623480X/benazadi-20. Also, Larry says he learned a lot from Eat Like A Human: https://eatlikeahuman.com/. In total, Larry has lost 120 pounds. [09:25] Both Kay Lynne and Larry Have Benefited From Lifestyle Changes As an elementary school teacher, Kay Lynne ate a lot of processed foods throughout the day. When Larry changed his diet, Kay Lynne followed suit. Larry and Kay Lynne started intermittent fasting organically because they simply weren’t hungry. Kay Lynne’s heaviest weight was 210, and she lost 70 pounds. [16:25] Changing Your Lifestyle Can Make Your Relationships Even Better Larry and Kay Lynne’s relationship got better when they changed their diets. Not being hungry all the time was one of the best benefits of their lifestyle changes. Plus, Larry and Kay Lynne feel more comfortable in their bodies. Weight loss is excellent for a better and more pleasurable experience in your own body. [21:00] Remember That We Are Still Fundamentally Our Ancestors Larry recommends checking out Primal Blueprint: https://www.primalblueprint.com/ Primal Blueprint focuses not just on food but on the whole person. Movement and mindset are also crucial on your journey to health. Sometimes people just try and change their food. Well, there are so many other things you need to consider when becoming healthy. Remember, we are still fundamentally our ancestors. [31:55] The Importance of Feasting and Fasting In Your Lifestyle The only thing better than fasting is eating, and the only thing better than eating is fasting. Our ancestors enjoyed large full meals. The only thing constant about nature is change. So why shouldn’t we change our diet? You can eat higher real food carbs productively during a feast. Carb cycling is a great way to make sure you don’t plateau. Variation is magic when it comes to your health! [38:05] How To Inspire Your Partner To Make Lifestyle Changes You should lead by example when making lifestyle changes with your spouse. Remember, you can’t control the people around you. Stick to your lifestyle changes and show your partner how much better you feel. Larry’s enthusiasm and consistency motivated Kay Lynne to change her diet and lifestyle. For your journey to success, we all have to know that even our best friend and closest partner is not responsible for what we put in our mouths. We can’t force change; we can serve as an example.
