Episode Date: June 25, 2025

Join Gina and Program Manager Kim as they break down and dig into the tweak we see in week 9 of The Livy Method.The Tweak This Week? Food Plan RevampIn this episode, Gina and Kim unpack the real reason this week’s tweak works—it’s all about building on the solid foundation you’ve already created. They break down how protein and fat hit differently, helping you feel more satisfied and keeping cravings at bay. You’ll hear why satisfying meals matter, how one snack less isn't actually about restriction, and why understanding the difference between protein shakes and smoothies is key to staying on track. They also walk you through the subtle yet impactful changes to The Food Plan that will help you continue to lose in a way that feels good. Plus, a real-talk reminder that just one bite isn't always harmless and how sitting with that discomfort can lead to real food freedom. This is the week that helps you gear up mentally and physically for what’s next.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2025To learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com Hosted on Acast.

Week 9 of the program. We are following the food plan revamp. We still have three and a half weeks left, a lot of time to make a lot of change. You absolutely want to follow through and finish right to the end. We are not done yet. If this is your first program,

you might be wondering, why can't I just keep doing this? How is all gonna come together? We go right to the very last day. Like we don't fuck around. We're here all the way to the very last day. We don't, you know, cool our jets. We don't put on the brakes. We put the pedal to the metal.

And we fly out of here stronger than the day that we started. Here we are on week nine. Hi, Kim. Where are people at? Hello. Hi. Yeah, where are people at? People are in a good place. I think people are excited for this tweak. I mean, everybody loves cheese and peanut butter, so how could you not be excited? But yeah, I think some people are starting to see it all come together. We have some people that are sort of questioning why the changes and for such a short period of time at the end. So that sort of had me thinking for the past week, I

know you and I kind of touched on this the other day in our conversation, but that we had on the side, but I think what it is, is we spend so much time at the beginning of the program really building that consistency, that routine, getting the body in that calm place, that people aren't recognizing that there's a rhyme and a reason to not starting making the changes until further on in the program. It's not about like getting to that point where, okay, this is going to do this, and I should have been doing this all along, or why weren't we doing this all along? It's not about the changes that are making the weight loss.

It's the changes as they're built on top of that foundation that you've built. And I think people can lose sight of that when we get this far in. So I think this is a good reminder for that. I just wrote down the word foundation. If you think of it, that's like saying, well, how can we only get put out the windows and the roof now? Right? Like it's you, they look back and don't see following the basic food plan is doing anything. If it's your first program, it's that foundation. If it's your returning program, you're solidifying the

work that you've done before and kind of resetting. And so that foundation part is really important. That routine is the routine is the foundation of change. And I don't see how just following the food plan was really doing anything, where that created such calm in the body that it enabled you to deal with things of eating when you're bored, eating when you're stressed. It helped you to get a handle on your hunger levels.

Then the downsizing, right?, helped you without like stressing the body out too much and within that routine allowed you to get even more in tune to your portions, bring up lots of feels, food waste issues, food scarcity, dealing with, you know, being afraid to be hungry, splitting up the meals and snacks really helped you understood that the portions that you were consuming to satisfaction were probably still too big. It also made you think about food in a way that's opposite from deprivation. And then of course this week is understanding how protein and fat hits different and feeds into your satiety hormones and that what you are eating absolutely matters in a world of just eat less, exercise more, count way and

measure and not ever paying attention to how your food choices affect your hunger levels and affect your energy and give your body what it needs. So there's a lot to it. There's a lot to it. This week, it's about adjusting. No one needs to eat six times a day ever. It was interesting. I saw when we were talking, who was it? Dr. Paul. Someone asked, well, can you ask Dr. Paul like the benefit of eating more often versus three times a day in intermittent fasting? I was like, fuck that. I'm not even gonna answer that fucking question.

I don't even know why you put it on there, Kim. I'm like, here you are week nine, you're still skeptical and you're not really paying attention because nobody needs to eat six times a day, but we're gonna get you to a place in the next couple of weeks where you can actually eat more in tune with your body's needs.

So that's a matter of checking in at every single meal and snack and assessing if you need to eat because you're hungry, could eat, so you're gonna have a token amount, or should eat because you're going too long without eating. So that's a question asked by someone who's obviously new to the program. And as if you're considering intermittent

fasting and all of those things still here week nine, like you might as well just bail out now and go intermittent fast or whatever, right? We're not there yet. And you absolutely want to stick around and see how it all comes together. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that's the whole point of everything we're doing up until that point is so that you can recognize for yourself why eating more often is better. When you get to that point where you are in the head space where you can answer that question yourself, then you have learned something about what you're eating

and when and how it affects your body. And that's, you know, when you think about the food plan revamp, the tweak this week, if you hadn't done all of the work that you've been doing for the past nine, 10 weeks, however long, I feel like we've been together for six months now at this point. But if you like if you hadn't done all the work, imagine what the food plan revamp would look like for you. People would be feeling heavy. They've just been piling fat and protein.

They'd be doing keto basically because they've learned nothing else about how their body reacts to certain foods. Every step that we've taken up until this point, all the work on mindfulness, that downsizing tweak, the feeding the metabolism that we did in the last couple of weeks, all of that set you up for this to be able to help you lose weight. If you just added protein and fat to all of your meals and snacks right from the get-go

and try to lose weight that way, you're not gonna lose weight. It's the way that you approach this after going through the other steps that gives you the ability to be in tune with what you need and when, so that your body is going to be ready to make change with this.

Yeah, and there's a lot of science behind the changes that you've been implementing and the rhyme and the reason behind a lot of things that we do. And right now we're understanding how protein and fat hit differently. The reality is that there's a whole science behind that. When you say, oh, I just want a quick snack.

What do you mean quick and convenient or something that gives you quick energy? So, for example, fruit and one of the reasons why they were there originally in the morning is that breaks down like a half an hour. You can get the energy from some fruits, whereas your nuts and seeds are more prolonged energy and they take about an hour and a half to break down. If you have fish that can take about 40 minutes versus steak that can take five hours. So these are the things that people don't really understand the complexities of the food choices that you're making and how they break down in your body.

And this is sort of the next level to why some days when I eat a lunch, am I hungry an hour later and then other days I eat my lunch, I'm not hungry at all for my afternoon snacks. That's like a whole layer that people don't even get into or even think about. Here's Anne, once finishing the program, is this the plan or tweak we stick with if we still have more weight to lose over the summer or do we go back to the basic food plan?

This is why you wanna stick around to the end of the program. I don't like talking about the end of the program until we're actually there, but we have another tweet coming down the pipeline. So we're gonna do the revamp this week and next week, and then we have a completely different tweak that we're gonna introduce for weeks 11 and 12.

That is sort of insight into once you've lost your weight and you're just living your life, it's also a great way to continue to lose in between the break. So over the summertime, the winter break or the two week break from the winter program into the spring program, you're going to what's called personalizing the plan. And so that is ideally, I mean, you can just work the basics and follow the basic food plan if you just don't have the capacity for anything else and you just want to kind of like toe the line. But personalizing the plan is way more effective when it comes to being proactive about the things that you can do to move the dial on the scale. It's also again, a little practice because everything that we're doing here isn't about

you losing weight. It's teaching you the tools and the skills to be able to maintain and sustain your weight. And this is kind of an intro. This is where, you know, eventually you're going to trust when to eat, what to eat, and how much to eat. But this that tweak is not that that is still following all the guidelines of the program. You're not doing your own thing. There's still a lot of structure.

So stick around at the end of the program. If you want to read ahead and you have access to the app, you can actually go into the guide section and read over the week 11 and 12 guides if you're interested. We also do talk maintenance for those who are ready the last week of the program as well. So we're going to tell you exactly what to do and how to navigate the summer. And there'll be options there as well. So yeah, we're not done.

We're not done yet. There's still another tweak to come after this one. Lots to come. Lots to come. Like you said, three and a half weeks left. We've got lots of time to bring you lots more information, right? It's crazy. For sure. So this week's tweak, if everybody wants to be really secure with it so that they can mail it, this is the tweak that we're going to be doing next week as well. I just made note of a few posts that people really wanna hit on. Make sure you read the guidelines that went out this week.

It does explain everything that you need to know. We also released the, is it, I can't even read, because I have my contacts, and 15 high protein foods and how to feel more satisfied. And then the information on protein shakes that we shared. I think that one, we've had a lot of people questioning protein powders and protein shakes that we shared. I think that when we've had a lot of people questioning protein powders and protein shakes we did the protein powder share page today which members have like kicked in a whole bunch of

ideas of the different protein powders that they like to use so make sure you're reviewing the information so that you're really secure with this because like to your point about the questions that came up a lot of the questions that I did read when I was going through the group were questions that are absolutely outlined in the guidelines post, and the backup information is in the following information. So if you are struggling at all

with trying to wrap your brain, by all means, absolutely ask the team they're here to answer, but make sure that you check out the post too. Yeah, in regards to protein shakes, you don't have to add them in, right? It's just that a lot of people really find them convenient and now is the time. Now that you've put the time into strengthening

your digestive system, I'm not a fan of protein shakes, especially if you're new to the program, because it's hard to gauge portions with liquid nutrients. People also use way too much fruit. They don't add enough good fat. Also check out that list on the protein options because there is a difference between getting 30 grams of peanut butter versus 30 grams of steak. Yes, you'll get the same amount of protein, but you'll get like 10 times the amount

of calories from nut butter than you would from steak. So not all protein sources are equal. And no, we're not counting and weighing or measuring our food. But if you're trying to make sure you're getting enough protein in your diet, you want to be mindful of where those sources are coming from and you want to get the best quality protein. Yep. What else? Yeah. And they're not smoothies. Smoothies and protein shakes are different things. What else? Yeah. And they're not smoothies.

Smoothies and protein shakes are different things. Yes, they are. No one needs two bananas and a pint of raspberries in their smoothie. And if you listen to a conversation we have with Dr. Paul this week, it's about also feeding into like if you're having a chocolate smoothie or a Reese's Pieces flavored smoothie, I mean, you're still feeding into that need for a sweet treat. And I'm not trying to make your life like joyless,

but it does still have the same reaction in the brain in terms of wanting more sugar. So if you were having a hard time with sugar cravings, you finally got them sort of under control for lack of a better word. And now you wanna add in protein shakes, probably the peanut butter score chocolate protein flavored powder is not the way to go with that. So yeah, I love that. It's a it's protein shakes versus smoothies. It's also a great way just plain

protein powder. And just again, not the most enjoyable. But if you're looking to get that extra bit of protein in there, that can be a great way to do that. Absolutely, absolutely. So for topics for today, one of the couple of the things that I think we could outline, even though we have just sort of, you know, gone over what the guidelines are, is just what the changes are exactly to the food plan. Because I feel like that's where the members actually get a little bit confused is what's different and what's staying the same. Yeah, it's really nuanced in that. So breakfast is the same as it's always been.

We're focusing on protein. It's just that people got into more what they like and they love, falling back into oatmeal, which are great, but you do want to make sure that you're loading it up with that extra protein on top of that. What you're going to get from, I don't know, steak versus eggs versus yogurt versus cottage cheese, right? You just want to go for the most bang for your buck at breakfast, just doubling down on that. For your morning snack, you can still have fruit, but it's a great idea to now combine it with a protein and a fat. But we've also provided a list of other snack options that you can add in there as well. For lunch, rather than vegetables being the star of the meal, protein is now the star

of the meal, but you're still having vegetables, leafy greens, healthy fats. This is the place, though, if you've been using those heavier carbs, rices, quinoa, potatoes, you might want to minimize those over the next couple weeks. Your afternoon snack is from two down to one. Now you can have your vegetables and some nuts and seeds or we also have other options. You can do yogurt and fruit. You could do cottage cheese or boiled eggs. So you have options there. And then for dinner now, instead of protein being the star of the meal, it's vegetables. Since you've been loading up on the protein

throughout the day, we're still working on having your day balanced. So this isn't high protein, it's not keto, we're not putting our body in ketosis or any of that. We are understanding that we're bumping up the protein and fat, it feeds into our satiety hormones and gives us a certain kind of sustaining energy. Still having fruits, which are carbohydrates,

still having vegetables, which are carbohydrates, still having vegetables, which are carbohydrates, still adding in foods that are proteins like beans and lentils that also have carbohydrates. So this is not low carb by any means over the next couple of weeks. We're just minimizing any of those heavier crops. So what really changes there? The star of your lunch and dinner changes,

but it's the same, same otherwise. Your two afternoon snacks are simply down to one and you can now add a protein and fat to your fruit. So it's really quite simple if you break it down, but those slight changes are enough because we laid that foundation so strong with the basic food plan, it's enough that you're going to notice.

Did I cover that? Did I get all of that? You did, absolutely. You. I was actually really impressed with getting all of the points that you had in there. I'm like nailing it all right now. One of the questions that members do have about this is with the going down to the one afternoon snack instead of two, how that affects the timing of the meals and snacks. And I think one thing that we probably want to point out is that it doesn't change. You still want to not go, but what might need to change

is their timing of when they have the meals and snacks versus the space in between. Yeah, so you had those two afternoon snacks before. Like it might be that, but you want to have that one snack now where you used to have your second afternoon snack. Right? So people are like, oh, I just don't, I'm getting hungry. Or you might want to meet somewhere in the middle. So the timing of your snack, it takes about three days for your body to adjust. You probably are starting to notice that maybe when you went from two snacks down

to one, you were a little extra hungry in the afternoon. Again, a lot of that can just be, we are used to eating at that time. So our body's like, hey, it's snack time. So we're trying to break out of that pattern. It's very useful for what we needed for. But now we're going to move forward to kind of step out of that comfort zone. So this is where if you have the luxury of playing around with the timing of your snacks, and if you don't, you're like, no, I'm a very set schedule, then you had your first afternoon snack time and your second afternoon snack time. One day you might need that snack earlier. So you have the snack at what would have been your first afternoon snack time and then maybe the next day you're not hungry then so you have that snack towards when you had

your second afternoon snack. I mean the days are longer that adds a little bit of extra you know to it as well. In the wintertime it's dark at like four o'clock and now doesn't get dark till nine o'clock. So you're maybe you're up a little bit later and you're more active. So you might want to think about kind of shifting the times that you're used to eating if you have that option. Just looking at my notes for the next one. Oh, well, I can go through why you can go through your notes. I was just I got sidetracked by some questions here. I actually had another question.

I sometimes still get instant food noises while being in their company. I would have a short term craving just a bite or a taste of that food. And sometimes I take one bite and I see I don't even like this. Is this approach OK or better to capture, correct, cancel the thought? It's always better to capture, cancel and correct the thought, right? Rather than you eating something and then being like, oh, I'll see how I make out. That's just kind of tempting that and also feeding into it. So it's still feeding into it rather than being like, rather than just taking the time to be like, am I actually hungry right now? Like, how am I feeling satisfied?

Not in my head, oh my goodness, I didn't have my two afternoon snacks, but actually, this will happen around that two afternoon snack because they're down to one. So it's that restrictiveness in your brain. My goodness, I'm down to one snack, I'm gonna be hungry, which means I'm gonna overeat dinner, which means that I'm gonna ruin everything, rather than being like, am I actually, this is where if you're having more protein and fat feeding into your lunch, you really shouldn't be all that hungry because you're getting the nutrients that your body needs. So chances are it's just what's happening on your in your brain. Also the habit of the

timing, but just because your body's in the habit of eating at that time doesn't mean it needs to eat at that time. So this is about going deep. This is the time to go deep and be like, what's this all about? Am I actually hungry? Do I need to eat? Like what's going on here? You always wanna go into like the,

take the minute to assess how you feel. That's where you'll, that's where, this is all again, the setup and the lead up to you really trusting when to eat, what to eat and how much to eat. And it's a lot of times just taking the time. Here's, here's Mon, is it Mon? When it comes down to asking those four questions before eating and noticing the different components, protein, good fats and complex carbs affect our level of satisfaction. Yes. So you will notice, so people will say this week,

oh, I feel heavy and weighed down, it's all that protein and fat. Chances are it's not all that protein and fat because it's really quite minimal. It's that you're not asking the four sets of mindful eating questions to notice the difference of how satisfied you get. This is why we separated the proteins from the carbs.

I know some people didn't do that. And if you're coming back with us next time around, I would definitely do that. Where you actually notice the difference in how satisfied you get on protein and fat versus your carbs. Both are really important in your diet. But this is where people will start to feel like they're eating too much, they're full, they're feeling heavy, and it's because they're not doubling down. So you should notice a difference in your hunger levels and your satisfaction levels with bumping up that protein and fat. It's more of the emotional part like with company or friends having a funnel cake at a carnival. So that is that yeah, it's

no different, right? Whether it's just your everyday routine when it comes to your meals and snacks or you're distracted and you're at a carnival and you're being tempted with food. Ask yourself, do I really want that funnel cake? And it could be like, no, but I'm gonna have some because I only have it once a year and we're at Wonderland. But really, do you actually want it? Like I take my kids for ice cream all the time and I will not have ice cream because I just,

I don't want it. Like if someone says, hey, do you want some ice cream right now? I actually would not want ice cream right now. Like even if I, if they're like, you could eat it guilt-free, hey, do you want some ice cream right now? I actually would not want ice cream right now. Even if they're like, you could eat it guilt-free, calorie-free and not have any impact on your body, I would be like, I still don't want it. So this is sort of where you need to be like, do I actually really want this or is it fulfilling another need? If I eat it, is it going to bring me joy? If I have this, am I going to be happy with myself? Is it going to be? I hate

the word worth it because that's not it. You just have to kind of weigh whether like if I eat it, what am I going to feel like versus do I really need to have it? Like everyone's going to be done eating their funnel cake and if I have it or not, it's going to not make me have a better time. And so that you have to kind of go in that individual, right? Only one bite though. Okay, so see what I'm saying? You have major issue here and you're trying to find a way to have that one bite.

Have that or have the one bite, but can you have the one bite and not rag on yourself afterwards? Can you have the one bite and actually enjoy it? That's for you. That's not a question I can answer, right? So can you have that one bite? First of all, can you just have one bite? Or is that going to lead to more? And then can you have that one bite and be totally okay with it? Right? Like I'm not trying to have my cake and eat it too here. What you can't do is constantly feed into the one bites and then bitch about the scale not moving. That's, that's you have to, you have to understand where's your line here. Like what can you

get away with? So you want to keep having those one bites and then you're, then you're showing up and you're like, but the scale isn't moving. I don't know why I'm doing everything. Or worse is that you have that one bite and then that's all you think about is like, oh my God, why did I have that? Why did I eat this? I'm never gonna lose my weight. So that's what it comes down to. You can do the work to get to a place where you are calm around food.

And that's the work of like not buying into that, not having it, right? Like that's how you get to be calm. You don't get to be calm around food by constantly giving into it. It's sitting in that uncomfortable space where you're like, I feel unsatisfied. I want to have it and I can't. And I'm just like, it's, it's constantly having it as feeding into the dopamine hit of having it. It's not actually having it's

the thought of having it. So you have to, in order to break that, you have to sit in that uncomfortable space of not having it. And when you've done that a few times, when you've taken your kids for ice cream and you didn't have any because you didn't want it, or when you go to Wonderland, you didn't have the funnel cake and you realize it didn't make it more fun or less fun or anything, that's where you get to a place

where you're calm around food and then you can choose. I'm gonna have it. Okay, I'm gonna enjoy it or I'm not. So that's the work. I'm glad that you asked that because this is still the work that we are doing. But sometimes when we switch up a tweak, it makes it all about the food again without the understanding that there's

still a lot more going on mentally. Okay. Did you think of your, when you have this bite and you have it, when you think about it, if you really think about it in that moment of why am I having this, is it just because to your point it's there or is it because I actually really enjoy this and I love the taste of funnel cake? Or is it you know, a habit? The reason why you're having it can be it's almost like a four steps of mindfully enjoying to where you think like, why do I want to have this right now? And then how do I think I'm going to feel after I eat it? Am I going to

regret it? Or am I going to feel good and be excited that I have that flavor in my mouth? And then even just checking like, how much do I really need? Is one bite enough? Or am I going to so going through similar questions you design for yourself, like our four steps of mind, deciding yourself, that's it. Yeah, and then that can be something that can help walk you

through that food noise so that you start to automatically think those things when you see something that is sort of causing the food noise to happen. Yeah, I like a Karina's saying with the change this week. I am more hungry in the evening. So that could just be mental. Right. You think that you're down two snacks into one bumping up your protein and fat fat should really address that, especially your afternoon snack. Make sure you're getting protein and fat in with your afternoon snack. Veggies with just some dip might not do it. That's where you might want to do veggies with some nuts and seeds. Also, it'll take a while, but also what else is different? Like, have you been extra active in the evening now because the days are longer? Like, what's the difference, right? It might not be the tweak. It might be something else you got going on. You started working out.

You started walking. It could be the heat. With an extreme amount of heat, you either don't have an appetite or you're craving sugar, especially at the end of your day. If you haven't drank enough water, you can feel really,

you can feel, start to feel really unsatisfied. Kim, is there an issue with comments? I saw this on my live today and I'm seeing it now where the comments are coming up for some people on the feed. I haven't heard that before, but I wonder if something's coming up today for, like maybe today.

I haven't seen anything and mine are coming up fine. Yes, mine are coming up fine too. Yeah, which normally it's us that has the problem. So maybe it's switched over and there's a few members that are having the problem we had last week. But you have to actually open the live on there instead of just watching it on the side. So it could be that you need to just click and actually like if you can see mine, it's got us on the top and then the comments below.

So that could be helpful. Okay, here's a couple. I took my mom for an appointment Monday. She always wants ice cream on the way home. I didn't have one and no regrets. It felt great to know I was in control. Yeah. I don't like the word. We're not trying to control ourselves or moderate ourselves, but you can feel it more in control. You're like, yeah, I didn't feel... You're also more in tune, right? Like you also, you're also in control if you would have chosen to have it rather than feeling like, Oh my God, should I, should I, that poll and feel like

you have no choice. Here's Tammy. I drive my family crazy because when I see them eating fudges or s'more cookie from Costco, I ask if there's one left for me in case I want one, but I never want one. But I want to know it's there just in case that moment ever comes. But it hasn't been happening. Same! I do the same for takeout food. If I go to a restaurant and I paid good money, I'm taking that shit home. I'm taking it home.

Nine times out of ten, it sits in my fridge and I don't eat it. No one eats it unless I guess the kids are home and I bring it home. They're like, what you got? And I'll eat it in a moment, but God forbid they open up the fridge and take it out of there because they don't eat it, no one eats it unless I guess the kids are home and I bring it home. They're like, what you got? And I'll eat it in a moment. But God forbid they open up the fridge and take it out of there because they don't. I'm the same. I paid for it. I want it. And that's a crazy mentality. I don't know about your house, but Tony does this too, because he'll bring home whatever fudgicles or boba sticks or whatever they are. And he's got to hide them because the kids will get in there and they eat them right away.

It's not like we gotta have it, it's in the house, we gotta have it now. And why can't we have it sit in our house for a while and enjoy it? And that's kind of like speaks volumes about just how we are around food, right? Our whole family. So I think that's great to say,

hey, I want one of these and I wanna have it when I want it to be there when I feel like it. So nobody touch it. And now everyone knows you don't touch Tony's Boba stick or what his ice cream sandwich. Like you just don't, you do not touch it no matter what. And I think that says a lot. And he's just like, yeah, I'm going to, you know, I want to have, when that moment comes, I'm going to have it.

So that's right. Cause you can still want that, but maybe not want it now. And you're still deserving of one of those. But just because you don't want to scarf it down now before they're gone, doesn't mean you're not entitled, right? I love that. Yeah. I think I love that thought of, I'm not

going to eat that right now just because I'm scared that somebody else will eat it before I get the opportunity, the fact to do and I think it's okay we do the same thing I came home with cinnamon buns the other day from a bakery in the area and I told everybody in the house this is how many you get when you've had those don't eat anymore and there's one sitting on the counter for three days nobody knew whose it was and we found out Mark my husband didn't get the memo that he wasn't listening and He didn't realize he got two, but the kids didn't touch it. They were looking at it for three days, but they didn't touch it because they knew. So setting up something like that, I don't think it's bad. It's not necessarily saving food, but it's recognizing that I want to have the opportunity

to make the choice, but I'm not going to eat it just because I'm scared it's not going to be there anymore. Yes. Yes. Yeah. What else we have to cover Kim? Just for the sake of time. I know we're out of time. Next week, maybe we could touch on next week's tweak, which is the same as this week's tweak, but we introduced Back on Track. Yeah. So Back on Track is a technique that you're not going to need so much now, but you might need throughout the summer. And you're kind of testing the waters with it because it's a technique that you're gonna implement once you've lost your weight,

you've worked through maintaining and solidifying your weight. Whenever you go off the rails, away for the week, whenever you go off the rails to the point that you feel it, it's not for little ups and downs on the scales, it's not for being perfect, it's for when you really do a number on yourself and you will know how to get back on track and it's all tied into the original food plan, which now you may be wondering, why do we spend so much time working the original food plan?

It's become so familiar and so ingrained with our bodies, physically and mentally that it's now this calm place, especially because we're going to be making changes. We make changes this week, continuing on next week, and making changes in the weeks to come. So we're gonna introduce back on track, which is a technique to help you get back on track whenever you go off the rails, albeit vacations, or just when you're living your life,

if you're indulging to the point, maybe go away for a weekend, you come back, your weight is up, you just feel, ugh, couple days of back on track, and just get back to living your life. So we're going to introduce that on Sunday for part of our guidelines and especially going to be handy over the summertime for people for sure. Absolutely. Yep. That'll be a great one. Stick around guys. We'll talk about it next week. Yeah. So come join us next week. Continue to let us know if you have any questions about this week, you wanna be clear on it

because again, we're gonna be doing it again next week. Thanks Kim, thanks everyone who joined us live and all your questions. Have a great rest of your day and we'll see you later, bye. Thank you, bye.
