I'm Gina Livy and welcome to the Livy Method podcast. This is where you'll have access to all of the live streams from my 91 day weight loss program. With a combination of daily lives, guest expert interviews and member stories, there is something new almost every day. Miss the morning live? Want to re-listen to one of our amazing guest experts? Well, this is the place. This podcast is hosted on Acast, but it's available on all podcast platforms, including the one you're listening to right now, Spotify, Apple,

and Amazon Music. music and so like boom boom boom boom boom so dramatic um here we are hi kim week five of the program so the tweak this week is about talking about the tweak this week we are. Hi, Kim. Week five of the program. So the tweak this week is about talking about the tweak this week. We are in week five. This week, we are maximizing and eating dissatisfaction. That is the topic of conversation today. Hi, how are you? I'm good. Thank you. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. This is sort of a weird week in that there isn't really a tweak. There's more of a focus. So last week, the tweak was downsizing. So that is where we actually make slight changes to the food plan. So nothing really changes this week. Just like last week, nothing really changed,

except that you were purposely leaving yourself slightly unsatisfied by leaving a few by eating a few bites less. And so this week, we are hate to say back to satisfaction, because it's not back to satisfaction. It's really recognizing off the heels of downsizing, you're now even more in tune to your portions, and chances are you're feeling more satisfied on less. It really is about leveling up, maximizing, you know, trying to be as proactive as possible. And I think the biggest thing this week is people are like, well, how are we supposed to lose weight if we're not downsizing? So I just want to remind people before we get into the conversation, downsizing was less about eating less, and it was more about bringing up the feels, the issues and associations

that people have, especially when they've done diets. And it's also to help you get even more in tune to your portions. So you've done that this week is about really being consistent, asking those four questions, taking a look at that maximizing checklist, and really understanding on what you need to focus on right now. Yeah, yeah. And I think for me, I would say the tweak would be you are tweaking what eating to satisfaction means. So we're not giving you a tweak. You're tweaking this yourself. This is one of those things where we're putting it on you. You need to make the tweaks that you need to make to get this done this week. So that is, I mean, really, it's all you guys. So you don't even need Gina and I this week. It's up to you

guys to figure out what you need to do. It is interesting though, on that note of not having that tweak to focus on that thing. That's really that they're that we're handing to them like the downsizing, which we're going to, you know, do again next week and stuff. If they're not being handed that thing to really focus on or be the topic of the week, it's interesting seeing the kind of comments that are coming in on the queue. You know, there's not as many questions. There's not as many people focusing on things. There's a lot of people sharing things like there's stresses that are

happening and things that are coming into it. And at first I was just like, oh man, people are going through a lot of stuff this week. That's crazy. And then I thought people are going through a lot of stuff every single week. And I wonder if it's coming up this week because they're not laser focused on downsizing. We haven't given them one thing to laser focus on this week. And that's why those feelings are starting to take over again. And I hope that doesn't mean that they're losing sight of the prize, keeping their eye on the prize, staying focused on that, maximizing, leveling up and doing all the things. Yeah. I on the prize, staying focused on that, maximizing, leveling up and doing all the things. Yeah. I mean, well, this is why we talked about the messy

middle. This is what healthy, sustainable, lose your weight finally and forever weight loss is all about. Yes. There is a basic food plan to follow. Yes. There are tweaks that you are going to, uh, make along the way that helps your body specifically focus on fat loss. But a big part of this is mental. And then we've been having this really big conversation with our guest experts on the importance and the pillar of sleep, making sure you're getting enough sleep and that the, how that can affect your cravings and how your body's processing food and your hormones, and then how stress factors into that conversation. And then a really great conversation with Dr. Paul yesterday and today, really addressing all those underlying health issues,

which are really all connected. And then you add in the conversations that we've been having with Dr. Dina and being able to recognize, you know, where you're coming from, where you're at and what you need to move forward and all the things that get in the way, whether it's like your life and outside factors like your job or your family or your environment or your situation, and then your internal things like your habits and your beliefs and your issues and associations. So, I mean, I think at this point people are recognizing, okay, like it's not what to eat and when. Big part of it, yes.

But that's what makes the Libby method different than any other diet that's out there. I get excited about this conversation. But I can see how if you aren't recognizing how that all factors in, you might be feeling a little frustrated. Yeah. And I think that's, it's a good, I don't know. It sort of is a good test of what you're going to be like when the program is over, specifically when we have this big break between groups. What happened this week when we didn't give you a tweak to, you know, a hardcore, like solid tweak to focus on. Did you just go back to ignoring your body? Did you just go back to like, okay, I'm going to go through the motions,

I'm going to eat the things they're telling me to eat on the food planet, I'm not going to think about it? Or did you dig into the things that we've been talking about leveling up, like all the other things you can be doing when you're not doing a tweak, because this is really the finally and forever, and how you're going to continue to lose weight between groups, how you're going to continue to keep your weight off in the future is how do you handle it when we're not in your face, because we are not going to be in your face forever. Yeah. So yeah. And it's about empowering yourself and knowing what you need to do. This is why, you know, taking part in the conversation, listening to the guest experts, it's going to be a game changer. And it is a lot of work at this point because like losing

your weight finally and forever is no joke. How many people do we hear who've been trying to lose weight for 20 years? You know, Lynette on our spill the tea conversation yesterday, I've been trying to lose weight for 50 years, right? So you're going to have to change the way that you are doing things, not just physically, but mentally. There's a lot of conversation here about someone trying to find the lives without searching all over the place. And so the best way to do that is by going into the photo section of the Facebook support group. And, but bigger than that, this information is in the welcome guide, right? Like you five weeks in, you want to invest your time into reading the information. So we've done 21 groups.

We know the questions that you guys have. So there's a couple of things you're going to want to check out. The welcome guides, the program guides, the welcome guide talks about how to find the lives, what they're all about, where customer service is, tech issues, all of that. There is a program guide that talks about the program, the overview of the program. So we actually outline all 12 weeks of the program. What's, you know, what's coming down the pipeline for you. There is also a meet the team guide, you know, where, yes, we have our amazing live, you lose our spotlights. We have the spill the

tea conversations, but we have our meet the team guide where you actually get to meet people who are helping you on your journey. Like these guides are there to help you. And this is where I think week five of the program, you really want to know what you are doing. Like you, you really want to be like all in. So that's where I'm going with this is like, have you, are you absorbing the information? Have you read everything that you needed to read? Do you have the book? So I was really surprised today. And it happens every time because I don't want to assume where people are or are not in the program. But our conversation with Dr. Paul today on secondary supplements, building on the conversation of four reasons why your weight might be slower to move. So many people were asking about the basic supplements. What are the basic supplements?

So which means they've missed that here we are week five of the program. And they miss that conversation, especially if they're struggling with a scale that can be a game changer. So if you haven't picked up the book, pick up the book. Like if you feel like you're getting lost with the information, um, on the app or, you know, with how like me, I, I love a bit. I love a book. I can make notes. I can highlight. I find a hard time with my, with my eyesight reading off a screen. And even in my app, I prefer a written book. Like right now, stop and listen and say, am I all in? Am I invested? Not necessarily. Are you doing all the things? because you can be like at capacity doing half of the things and still be all in. So this isn't about, are you all in and making your whole life

the living method? But I think because next week I'm going to say like, if you are here now in week six, chances are you're going to be a success story at the end of the program. But I think this week is all about checking. Okay. What have we talked about? What have we done? What the fuck is going on with this program anyway? Like, do you believe it works? Have you bought in? Are you still like, I don't know, gonna wait and see. Do you know what I mean? So this is a great opportunity to be like, okay, five weeks into this program, we're

now in the middle part of it. Like, what is this program about? And am I here for it? Right? Like, I think that's, I think that's just as important today as as talking about satisfaction and mindfulness and leveling up and all of that. Agreed. And I think that this is the point where and I've been thinking a lot about we do have a drop, you know, that drop off of engagement that happens sort of around this

week, next week, we have a drop off in the information we're offering as well. And I, I almost wonder, like, is, is that sending a message to people that these weeks aren't as important because there isn't as many things done as we've like, we try to front load it and provide everybody with the information early on so that they have tools that they need. And this is a great time when we're not giving you more information to pile on top of what we already have to go back and really make sure you're solid in that information that you might have missed when you felt overwhelmed in the first couple of weeks of the program. So rather than dropping off and not checking in, check in in a different way. Our team answers everywhere. If you go back to the day one information and you have a question on it,

post that question. Our team is going to go back and answer you. You're going to look at those things with fresh eyes. Fresh eyes aren't just for your next round of the program. Fresh eyes should be coming into it every single week. What did I miss? What more can I get out of the information that Gina has already given me that's going to take this to the next level for me? And I think that's what people should be focusing on this week, specifically when there isn't another tweak distracting them from doing the work. Gosh, I love this conversation with you because that, yes, that's exactly what I'm saying, but in a different way that even resonates with me, we have, this is the make or break point, right? Because if you make it through this week into week six, chances are you're going to stick around, but this is where people start to drop

off. And this also is where we lay off the information because you have already, you've already been through so much. We've literally put, we were now at the point where we're revisiting topics. And so it's not like there's going to be more and more and more and more moving forward, which is such a great point is really focused on the tweaks that we are making each week, because at this point, you're already juggling so many balls. It's not like we're going to add more to your plate. So this is exactly what I'm saying is let's go back and make sure you are super solid on everything that we've covered up until this point, because that's a great time to do that.

Because then moving forward, it's just a matter of showing up. The difference between you being a success story and then you ending up back at square one is you continuing to show up and being here long enough that your efforts add up. I love the way you frame that. Here's a message from Jessica. Yeah, I think I need things drilled into my head over and over to get it. I may go back to previous lives and listen to them again so I can try to absorb the concepts later. Not only it's not a matter of getting it drilled into your head. The body loves routine and it loves repetitiveness. And that's how we learn because we may not get it the first time, second time.

That doesn't mean because we're dense. It doesn't mean that we're not listening. A lot of times too, is that we're not ready for that information because we're just caught up or focused on other things. So that's not a bad thing. That's just how we are. And so this is why going back, this is why we revisit. So the other day we did let's revisit exercise because when you're just starting out the program, you're like not even thinking about that. You're

just like trying to get my food together, trying to follow this. Like what am I even doing here? And now it's a good time to revisit where you have that routine down. So there is something to be said about that repetitive nature. Look how excited I am. When I talk about how I love the program and it's multi-layered, built into that also is a lot of thought gone into how people learn, how they absorb information, and how to learn and changes, but decrease the amount of stress involved in that, right? Not just physically for our body, but also mentally as well. Yeah. I love that. I love it. And I think one thing to touch on, on that, just thinking, looking forward, we've had people, as we posted the messy middle information and people kind of panicked a little bit hearing about the middle we're halfway through the program. I only have this many weeks left. I'm checking off things on my calendar. What else am I, you know, how am I

going to be able to lose enough weight when I haven't lost? And I would maybe on off of the heels of what we just said, challenge people instead of looking ahead to the next six weeks of the program, look back to the previous ones and see what you can level up and what you learned or what you missed. So rather what you learned or what you missed. So rather than worrying about future tripping and looking into the future, look back at the last six weeks, think about what am I proud of? What changes have I made? What really seems to have made a difference for me? What information did I miss? And use this middle portion as kind of a catch up, like a little bit of a midway point refresher on all

the things that you need to be doing. And it's a great time to head back to the maximizing the 20 questions checklist and look back, am I doing all these things still? Or did I drop the ball on the things I learned in week one in order to pick up the things I learned in week three? Yeah, I think there's pros and cons to how we structure the 91 day programs, like just like any other diet, like if you were to do keto, intermittent fasting, Weight Watchers, whatever the diet is, there's no middle for you. There's just one big continuation, you start your diet, and you finish it when you reach your goals in that sense the living method is no different that you are it is it is assumed that you are going to do as many rounds of the program as needed until you reach your goal i mean this is why we have conversations

with people who've done three programs six programs 16 programs because they have a lot of weight to lose or they have a lot of work to do. And so the way we structure it is there's a start date and an end date. And then the weeks and the tweaks bring up a lot of feels. And so you do the program the first time you sort of like you work through what's relevant to you. Like the first group can be a very physical experience. Second time around more mental because you already have the routine. You know what's to come. It gives you more space to work on other things. And then every time you do the program, it's just as effective at helping you reach your goal. But there is this thing of the pressure that people put on themselves. Well, I'm like, I'm already behind or I'm in the middle and

there's not enough time. It's going to take you the time it's going to take you. And that's it. That's it. So, you know, my goal, our goal is to help you lose as much weight as possible in this 91 day program. But you might very well and probably will have to continue your weight loss journey. This isn't like what's that like 21 day program, like whatever, like some people will be able to lose their weight in this 91 days. Most people

will not, and they will have to continue their weight loss journey. And so that, that pressure that people put on themselves, the last thing I'm going to say about this is the living method gets easier and harder as you go. Physically, it gets easier because you you're addressing your body's needs, you're more in tune to your body's needs, your body doesn't want this fat any more than you do. But mentally, it can get harder because the time you have to put in the way life gets in the way that the longer you go, the deeper you you're working through things. And that's where the hard work is in that mental part. So you are exactly where you need to be. Now, if you are looking back and thinking I could have, would have, should have in hindsight

done better, then you have to ask yourself, why didn't you, why didn't you? So if you are not setting your intentions every day or end of day reflections, like maybe you started off, okay, I'm doing the end of day reflections. And then you're not doing that anymore. Why? If you're not using our app, I'll tell you the people who follow through and use our app are statistically more successful than people who do not. People who set their intentions and end of day reflections and check in every day are statistically more successful than people who don't. This is a matter of you.

I have a goal. There are things I need to do. And every day I am supporting myself and doing the best I can to do the things I need to do to reach their goals. They're keeping those things in the forefront of your mind, which is why I say at this midway point, this is where you want to check yourself. Am I all in? Am I going to be here at the end? Am I setting myself up for success? Am I doing the things that they suggest? We want you to be successful, which is why we're having these conversations. But that is where a very real conversation that people need to have with themselves,

right? Because the reality is so many people do drop out at this point. So many people are also hugely successful at the end. And then a lot of people who drop out, they come back. And I freaking love that. And we are so welcoming because you did, you dropped out a few times, right? And, and so that is normal, but you want to learn from that. So you don't have to drop out, right? This is why we do have conversations with people who, who dropped out their first couple of programs, who crushed a program, didn't do great. We have very real conversations because we want you to know

that the way that you are showing up is perfect. Yes, maybe there are some improvements, right? But you're doing everything perfectly. Suzanne, I'm here for it. I haven't always been in past programs, but I have recommitted. I have an even stronger why this time around, which I think makes a huge difference.

Such a great point. Like the why that you started with could have already changed. Like once you got into this program, it's like, Oh, I've got a trip booked. I want to fit into my bikini or fit into my jeans or whatever it is. And now you're realizing shit, this could really be the answer to finally end forever weight loss. Like, fuck me. Yeah. It's a lot of work, but also, okay. Like I can do this. Right. So that's such a great point. Changing your wife. Yeah. Here's a Suzanne decades of giving up on myself. Let me just calm down a minute and read this one. Cause this is good. Decades, not decades. Can I just say first,

not decades of giving up on yourself because this is different. The Libby method is different. All those other shitty diets that you, like you were smart to not follow through on those diets because every time you did them, they just, they might've helped you lose weight, quick fix, but then it just made it worse. It just tanked your metabolism, made you even more out of touch and out of tune with yourself. So I think there's something to be said on knowing when to quit when something is not working for you, right? Decades of giving up on myself. I will not give up now. I want a healthy lifetime, much more than I ever thought I would. A gift of self-awareness. Yeah. Like you haven't, let me just say, and I love the, I love this awareness that if you are here today, you have not given up on yourself, right? It just, it's a matter of finding the right program and everything about this program is here for you. I want you to be successful. Kim does our whole team. We truly want you to lose your weight finally and forever. All of our guests who join us, all of our amazing community members are just like, so supportive. Like everything is here for you that you need to be truly successful at reaching your goals,

finally in forever. I love this week. I can't tell I'm a little passionate. I do too. I do too. And I know we're running out of time, but I wanted to just say on about me quitting and stuff too, is I didn't make it past week six, my first few programs. I'm one of the ones that dropped out. I am one of the ones, which is probably why I'm so passionate about trying to figure out what made people stay. I do know the first group that I followed through to the end, I had only lost six pounds up to the six week point. That's a pound a week, which is still really good weight loss, but six pounds, it's, you know, I know I hear people in the group saying only for that. The second half of that program, I lost 20. I ended up 26 total. So things were, if I had given up, I would have been down six pounds. I stuck with it. I was down 26.

What happens at the front half of the program really is just because everything builds on each other. It has to do with your consistency, with your momentum. Giving up is not going to serve you. You're never going to see it. Jumping back in, even if you stick doing the basic food plan and kind of dialing it in and following on your own without checking into the group and without being engaged, when you come back in that week 11, you're not necessarily going to see the results of somebody who's really given it their all and been invested in their own health for that time. So it's just that the 91 days is really us just asking you to give yourself the gift

of 91 days and honor yourself and take care of yourself. And, you know, don't worry about that calendar and the numbers. Like if I looked at that six pound, I would have been 12 pounds down at the end, which is still a great result. And that's amazing. But I didn't, you don't know how your body's going to react. And I was amazed at how my body, we are, you know, I'm not the only one that's come across that. And there's where the second half of the program, as everything fell into place, your body was like, oh, I actually really like this. I'm in a groove now. I'm ready to do this. So, you know, giving up because you feel like it's not happening as fast as you want it

to happen is definitely going to be, the result is going to be, it's not going to happen if you give up because it's not happening how you wanted it to happen. The key is to just continue to work towards it and allow your body to let it happen when it's ready for it to happen. Yeah. I mean, who's talking about what diet have you ever done where they're having these types of conversations, very real conversations about, you know, not just like what to eat and when, but the health issues, the mental part of it, all of it, right? Like this is, so what I mean, like there's like, this is everything is here for you. It's just a matter of you picking up what we're putting down, you know, bringing

up awareness, even with all of our amazing guests, experts of like, there could be something else going on. We had that conversation with Dr. Paul, right? Like, um, inflammation. I mean, chances are, if you're carrying excess fat, you've got inflammation, insulin resistance, you've got fatty livers, you have, you know, you, you, you have diabetes, you have thyroid issues, like chances are right. And inflammation, what can we do about that? And then food sensitivities, that's a hard one for people because no one gives it wants to give up cheese or gluten or whatever, but the very real reality for people. And we never take joy in telling people, well, maybe you have a food sensitivity

that leads to inflammation. And then there's gut issues. Like there, there's so much science there on your microbiome. I mean, this is where, I mean, even if you talk about Zempik and the conversations that they're having out there, they're talking more and more about, about your microbiome, right? Like strengthening your digestive system and the, the impact that lack of that lack of sleep and stress have had on, not to mention the stress of past diets. And then you add in hormones, right? So you're not just like your insulin and your cortisol and your sex hormones and your hunger hormones, like there's a lot going on there. And so if you can take a step back and see this program for the big picture and sort of, and then figure out how to personalize it and

customize it for you. I don't mean change the food plan because, you know, that's the foundation of it, but there's so much you can do. And that's what I think is really exciting about this program. I want to get into, I want to get into some of these questions here. Anita, Anita Alton, I have a question. Step one, am I hungry? My appetite has decreased significantly. Great. So often the answer to that is no, but I know I need to eat my meals and snacks. See my dilemma. I do not see any type of dilemma.

Chances are you are still eating more than you need, especially if you have weight to lose. One of the things you're going to really realize is that everybody is overeating because they've been eating a certain amount to feed the size body that they are or were. And the reality is, is that our lives, our lifestyles are messed up. The super size me, the size of the portions you are served, what you are seeing, even a lot of the influencers out there, they'll put a big massive salad together and sure it looks beautiful, but that they're not eating that whole thing. So a lot of what you're seeing for show is just like inconsistent portion sizes. And the reality is, is one day you might be really hungry

and then the next day, not hungry at all. So this is not a dilemma. This is normality. This is like you might have days where you're not hungry at all. So if you find that you're not hungry, you're probably just not hungry. Right? If you find that you are eating a size portion that's already small, and you're still satisfied on that, then you probably need a smaller portion or eat some token amounts. And then you might find that although your portions are smaller now or get smaller over the next few weeks, they might end up being bigger towards the end of the program because your metabolism is much higher,

your energy output is more, and your body is giving you access to more energy. This is why when it comes to portions, they're always what they feel like and not about what they look like. This could be how you're feeling this week and what you are noticing next week. You could be like, you could be like ravishingly hungry because maybe you started working out more or your body's now focused on repair and rebuild, or you got more stress in your life or whatever's going on. Right? So, so just when it comes to those portions, don't overthink it, just be in the

moment. And if you're not hungry, just have those token amounts. Yes, exactly. That's, I think that's one of the big things with this week that, um, people are sort of, some people are missing is that your, that satisfaction that am I hungry? those portions for a lot of people have changed this week after downsizing last week. And that's where that leveling up and where that sort of eating to satisfaction, what that means and how that has changed this week. And this is why the other thing, you know, you listed a whole bunch of reasons why this program is different. This is program is different because you're in tune to that. If you were following a meal plan, which a lot of people at the beginning of the program ask, can I have a meal? How much do I need to eat? Tell me what to eat and when this is why that doesn't work because what happens now,

somebody is telling you how much to eat. Somebody is telling you what to eat and you're not, it's not appealing to you or you're not hungry. Where is the sort of free thought for you to decide what's best for your body? If we hand you a meal plan that tells you what to eat and when this, the fact that Anita's even noticing this is amazing because that means last week worked. It means you did the work last week and you downsize and you are more in tune with what your body needs this week. So I call that a win, not a dilemma. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Other things that we want to cover, because I know we have already used up all of our time. So eating dissatisfaction, what does that mean to you now? Right? And you might still

find that you actually need more food too, right? Like you'll have days where you're maybe not as hungry, and then maybe the next day, more hungry or so like that one egg, three egg rule, right? One day, you might need one egg next day, three eggs, uh, mindfulness doubling down on those four mindful eating questions. That's so important. Like I know it gets really monotonous, but like it's, you want to ask those questions so many times that you don't even need to ask once you've lost your weight. So how does it feel different this time really assessing what's going on? If you keep eating and you're full, then rewind, go back to like those, that, that first question, how were you feeling? Then, then second question, how were you feeling? Third question, how you were feeling? How'd you get to the point where

you ate and you feel too full? What's going on there? Like really take some time to dig into that. Leveling up and maximizing using that, using the checklist, like go back at the beginning of each week. You're going to get so fucking tired of me saying maximizing, but it really is there because your life is changing. You are changing. You're making changes. So what you need to focus on last week might be different than this week, might be different than next week. And that's what the maximizing checklist is for.

It's not do all the things. It's like, what do you need to do that? Maybe you're not focusing on, um, digging into all the things that you feel you need to level up on. Be really honest with yourself, right? Like, are you staying up late? Are you watching Netflix? I know that new season of Bridgerton is out, right? So what time did you go to bed last night?

Are you still on your phone? What are you doing? Being consistent. This is not the time to drop off. Dig your fucking heels in. You want to get this shit done already. I don't care whether you're on your first group or your 16th group. Let's go. Let's fucking go. Let's get it. The scale being slower to move. Someone's asking, is it normal for this to move slower? The closer you get to your goal? No, it is on other diets where you starve and deprive yourself. And it feels like a fight. Everything in this program aligns. Your body is on your side and it wants this fat gone just as much as you do, but starving and depriving the fat off is going to feel like a fight. So with this, the reason why I can get slower is one, because you've already

lost weight. Your body needs time to adjust to your weight and it's not going to do it on your timeline. Or two, you're not doing the things you started off setting your intentions and a day reflections. You were tracking, you were doing all those things added up and you're not doing the things. You started off setting your intentions and a day reflections. You were tracking, you were doing all those things added up and you're not doing those anymore. You are not being as consistent. Maybe the summer is coming. Your social calendar has, you know, gotten busier.

That's okay. That's okay. Right? Sometimes that's how it is. Like on my social calendar is busier. I'm busier. So maybe I can't be as consistent. That doesn't mean that you're not going to reach your goal, but don't say it's your

body's fault because it gets harder. That doesn't mean that you're not going to reach your goal, but don't say it's your body's fault because it gets harder. That's not how it is with this program. And then that brings us to looking at the things in regards to the conversations we're having, the stress, the sleep, the Dr. Paul, really dig into that first set of supplements, the second set of supplements, the four reasons why your weight might be slower to me. We're going to give you all the information you need to figure out what is going on. And if the scale is moving slower than you would like, why? Right? Sometimes it's things that you can do. Sometimes

it's time, which brings us to downsizing one last time. So we're going to be downsizing next week. One last time. What's your advice for people? Don't overthink it. Don't panic. Don't future trip. I know the first question that's going to come up on Sunday morning when those guidelines come out is, but my portions are already small now from the last downsizing. What's going to happen when they get smaller? And you just listen to your body. Like you said, it's going to fluctuate.

You're going to be hungry. So get in tune. Really dig into those mindfulness questions this week, and then double down on them next week. Because if your body's telling you it's not hungry, if it's telling you it's almost satisfied, that's your body speaking to you. And what got most of us here in the first place, I would argue all of us here in the first place is not listening to our body. So use next week's opportunity to actually listen to what your body is saying to you. Yeah. And you know, I don't want to hear from people. Well, what if I'm not eating enough? And you know, I don't, I'm afraid my body's going to store fat. No. So we

would never suggest you ever do anything. That's not going to do anything other than help you be successful, but other diets you are counting, you are weighing, you are measuring, you are starving and you are depriving. This is not a matter of starving and depriving and forcing. This is about you getting even more in tune to your body's needs. This is about getting your body's attention, about getting it to take action. Because when you are consistently, this is why the consistency is so important, because you're going to give your body everything you were giving it this week, except slightly less next week. And some of you are going to be about, everything you were giving it this week, except slightly less next

week. And some of you are going to be about my portions are so small. Yes, because you are eating five, six, if you're using bonus snacks, eight times a day, it is not normal to be eating this often every single day. And so then you might be like, well, why are we doing that then I that will take you back to the very first day where we talked about the rhyme and the reason behind the food plan and the program overview. So remember that downsizing last week, bringing it back to satisfaction this week, downsizing next week is the lead up and set up for the following weeks, right? So this is why I highly suggest that you actually take time and watch that overview of the program

video that we posted on the first watch that overview of the program video that we posted on the, I think the first day or even in the welcome guide. And then the overview of each week. It's so super cool. We are just getting into it. You're going to downsize one more time. It'll be over. And then I guarantee you at the end of downsizing, you'll be like, Oh, I really like this downsizing. Like, can we do this again? And we'll say no, because it's time to move on to another week or two weeks. So my point is try to embrace, rather than being freaked out about the tweaks, of course, ask as many questions as possible,

but really try to embrace the tweak and be all in with it. Because before you know it, the week's going to be over and then we're going to be on to something completely different. Okay, I got to go. Tony's like, it's time. I just heard that in the back. I think like, it's time. I just heard that. I think that's the first time I've actually heard it. He must've been saying it for a while to get that loud. Sorry, Tony. I am so in love with where we're at. Cause I think like at this point in the program, you're invested. If you are here, if you're watching, if you're listening, like you

got this, you are going to be a success. You are going to reach your goals. And I'm just really passionate about really wanting people to understand the work that they've already done. And to really be like, the scary part is behind us. This is really where you're like, fucking right. I'm doing this. Like I'm here, I'm showing up. Maybe it hasn't been easy for me, but you, you got this. If you're here today and you're listening, you got this. It's just a matter of keep showing up every single day. Exactly. All right. Now I got to go. Yeah, I heard that. We got in trouble. We better go. I know we went late. I was like this time around, Kim, let's keep these tweets this week really short, like 15, 20 minutes. Anyways, I like to break my own.

The tweet portion of it it we did keep really short today it was all the chatter beforehand that we might have extended I live for it I'm not apologizing thanks to everyone who is what is this and so maybe I misunderstood if you downsize and I should not increase my portion

size this week you should not be increasing anything you should be in tune to your portions the goal this week is You should not be increasing anything. You should be in tune to your portions. The goal this week is to ask those four questions and eat just enough so that you're walking away feeling satisfied and not stuffed. So that's the difference. Last week, you were purposely eating less to leave yourself feeling slightly unsatisfied. You're not going back to the same portions. You are really being mindful, asking those four questions and really trying to eat enough that you are walking away feeling satisfied and not stuff. So we're not trying to we're not trying to manipulate our hunger levels or trying to eat more so that we're

not hungry or any of those things. We're really just in the moment, fine tuning and being really in tune with eating enough that we feel satisfied. So that that's the goal this week. That's the goal this week. Please do not be shy about asking as many questions as you need. Not just with a tweak this week, but we have a whole team of people who are here. So don't ever go like a minute, wondering what to do or how to do it. Just be just reach out. I mean, that's why we have a team and they're, they actually are here to help and they want to answer questions. So don't be shy about that. Love it. So I just say bye now. I got to go. Got to go. Thanks everyone. Thanks Kim.

Thank you. Bye.
