Be Zen. and Oh, welcome to the tweet this week. I was just reading the comments. Michelle said, are you ready to get tweaked this week? Yeah, I feel like I'm already there. We had some technical issues jumping on.

Man, Facebook has been weird the last couple of weeks. I don't know what's going, technology is weird. I don't know what's going on. Hi Kim. Hello. Hello. I'm glad you're here. I'm here and I'm hanging in there. I'm feeling

a little under the weather so I don't know how long my voice is going to last. And I got a kid upstairs that just came back from getting her wisdom teeth out. Have your kids had their wisdom teeth out? No. Oh, okay. And I didn't have mine taken out till I was an adult. I only had one of them, but I remember my brother getting it done when he was a kid. That's just like poor little precious angels with their swollen little faces and they're so sad. Doesn't matter how old you are, it's sad.

Well, I have four kids, as you know, at this point they've all had their wisdom teeth out. And it's interesting because the reactions are all so different, which I think says a lot about their personalities, maybe, when they're all drugged wisdom teeth out. And it's interesting because the reactions are all so different, which I think says a lot about their personalities, maybe when they're all drugged up and under the influence. I don't know. But she's the so sweet. And she's like, oh, I'm so sorry. And I'll do this or don't. I'm OK. And anyway, I am here. Hi. So this is one of my favorite weeks in Tweaks.

It's also the one that people tend to feel the most about. Like we thought people were pretty feely in downsizing, but sometimes they get outright angry or just kind of like irritated at this tweet this week. And I think this is because people live such busy lives that they're like, oh my gosh, now I have to think about this even more often than I already was.

I have to work even harder than I am. It's definitely a tweak worth doing. It's only for four days. It is just, it's really fascinating. So I want to talk about this approach. Then I want to ask you what you think is important. It's fascinating because you take people who've been trying not to eat some most of their lives and now they have to eat. And it's a different approach to getting into into your portions because downsizing can be very triggering and feel very restrictive. Whereas this tweak is about abundance. It's about having to eat more often. And so it's interesting how people kind of

relate to it differently. But I like that you're going to get people who are going to notice they start to get extra hungry because you're actually in feel their body working hard. And that is for a rhyme and a reason because we have a tweet coming up the next couple of weeks that's gonna make it really easy for your body to get the nutrients that it needs. And then other people have this, oh my God, do I really have to eat again?

And so the same people are like, oh, I'm worried I'm not eating enough. What if I'm hungry later? And what do I do when I'm hungry and I'm starved or all of a sudden like, oh, my God, I don't want to eat anymore. Like, huh. And remember, this is all about rewiring, not just how your bodies come to function, but rewiring your brain.

And one of the quickest ways to get in there, rewrite your brain is through change and getting your body and your brain's attention and shaking things up and having aha moments where you're able to see things from a different perspective. And really that's what this tweak is all about. What do you think people need to know about the tweak this week, the separating up the meals and snacks part?

I think the biggest thing, because I looked, we don't need to do this segment Nobody needs us to be here today All of the information is there between your live this morning the video that went out this morning on feeding the metabolism And the information we shared in the guidelines there's nothing about this week that isn't out there as far as information So I think digging into sort of the feelings of it And you know, I had I remember seeing on Sunday one Member comment that I thought that was an aha moment for you. And that's that I

Have a feeling I'm going to be full after the first half. Do I still have to have the second half? If you think you're going to be full after the first half, then that means you've got work to do after the first half, then that means you've got work to do. Yeah. You are not fine-tuned your portions enough while you were downsizing. Something is holding you back. And I think that's the biggest thing about this week, is it's not about separating the food.

It's about what's holding you back from not eating more. If it's that you're scared, you're not going to be able to eat later, then this is going to dig into that because you're gonna eat that half a portion. You're gonna realize you don't need to eat later because 10, 15, 20 minutes later, you're feeling satisfied, you're fine, you can move on.

I think the other mental portion of that people need to get through is absolutely all of those people There are there are some people that are whining and belly-aching this week, you know, do we have a comment right away on Sunday? No, I'm already cooking all the time I'm too busy. There's no way that I can do this with my job. Can I switch the days all of this? It's like I'm sitting back and reading that and thinking like, yeah, work to do.

If that was your first reaction when you saw this was, I can't do this, I'm already doing enough, then you are not doing enough. You're not doing the work because you're putting up a barrier against a change. And the work this week for you is, why was that your first reaction to say I can't do this?

Yeah, that's really interesting. Kind of like there's a will, there's a way. Now there are some like, you know, I'm not saying it's easy, but also there, you know, there are different levels. You can split up all your meals and snacks. You can split up only a couple of your meals and snacks. You don't have to split up any because just what you're doing with a regular food plan is enough. That's a lot in itself. So as long as you keep working the food plan and you're digging into

those four mindful eating questions and you're maximizing, you're doing all those things, you can still expect the scale to move without the tweaks. The tweaks are designed to keep things progressing quicker. That's why some people can lose a lot of weight in a very short period of time. They're meant to help you dig a little deeper, level up even more. But to your point, if you really can't do it, okay, so then what can you do? But if it's that strong reaction to it, to your point, it's probably, there's probably something deeper. There's something else you have to go into. When you're talking about that, I was thinking when I put myself through university, I worked three jobs, pulling all nighters, three jobs, like it was highly inconvenient. I was tired.

I was exhausted. It was a means to an end. I knew I had to do it. I knew it wasn't going to be forever, but I was going to get the job done. And you know, it's kind of no different in life where there's a will, there's a way. Sometimes you have to, things get uncomfortable. Sometimes you have to do things that you don't want to do. Now again, you could just follow the basic food plan and you know, still expect that scale to move. This is for people who want to get excited about learning more about themselves, who want to get even more in tune to their portions. So for example, the same people that you know, were afraid to leave food on their plate,

afraid of being hungry later, are now saying, oh, do I have to eat that second portion? I'm not hungry for it. So if you think already with just splitting up the meals and snacks that you think you're not going to be hungry for that second portion, what is happening right now with your portions? Because then that's telling you you're probably eating too much, right? Or this is the same people who thought their portions were already small.

They're going to start separating them and then realizing they're actually quite satisfied after that first portion. They don't need that second portion. And so it's all it's really about unlocking those restrictions in your mind, right? The person already knew she was going to be full after the first half. So if that's the case, they know their proportions are too much. That's exactly it.

But sometimes we're not like making that connection and being like, oh, okay. It's good. And that's intuitiveness. That's being in tune. That's asking those four questions. That is like looking at your food and knowing, okay, this is probably too much.

I would have people when I work one-on-one and be like, oh, I think I'm eating too much. And I'm like, okay, why do you think that? If chances are, if you think you're eating too much, you probably are. If you, I think I'm eating too much cheese. Okay, if you think you're eating too much cheese, you probably are.

Now, on the other side of that, people would say, I'm concerned I'm not eating enough. And never, ever, ever is that a physical reaction, how they're feeling, it's always based on what someone else is saying. Like all my portions are small compared to everyone else, or Sally walked by and said, my portions are really small, or my husband's wondering if that's enough for me.

It's never about how the person feels. So this is about getting really into it. Here's Michelle, if this teaches me about having smaller portions because I'm vexing about having to eat lunch two hours later, then this is the tweak for me. It's going to teach you a variety of things. It's just a matter of you can really respect. It's a matter of approaching it from a different angle,

which really shakes up your brain. Physically, you're constantly eating, which is not normal. It's not normal to have to eat so often. And we've always said that with a food plan, it's a rhyme and a reason. So it's a means to an end, sorry. And it's gonna make your body work extra hard. And so some people are gonna notice they're really hungry,

and some people are gonna notice they're like, oh my God, I don't wanna eat again. And so it's really interesting how you're constantly giving your body what it needs, how your body reacts to that. And there are very few ways to increase your metabolism. One is by making your body work harder, processing and digesting your foods. It's also by increasing your muscle mass. It's also by giving your body the rest it needs, getting better sleep, managing your stress, all those things.

And of course the nutrients it needs. So all the things in combination that you're doing are going to make a big difference in terms of boosting up your metabolism. Yeah. Who is this? Linda. This will be really interesting. A lot of times I'll finish my meat and not want my veggies. So that means I'm eating too much meat. Yes.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you want to get into that or I want to get into that? Because this is a concern. I saw the comment earlier from, who was it that talked about how, that means I wouldn't have to eat as many of my veggies. I don't know where it is, but they talked about how if they eat their meat first,

they probably wouldn't have to eat all their veggies. So you're still, nothing changes. You're still making all your meals and snacks. Vegetables are still very much the star of the meal because you might have that first the meal because you might have that first portion and then you might have that second portion and then you might not be hungry. You might still be hungry and need a third portion, right? Like this is like we need to go back. So this isn't about keeping or making a portion smaller. It's about getting

in tune with them. So you're still going to make your meals the way you normally would with vegetables as the star of the meal. And yes, if you eat your protein first and you find that you are not hungry for your vegetables, you're probably eating too much protein Exactly. Also for those four days We're not worried about you not getting vegetables in because you're still getting all these nutrient rich foods throughout the day But go yeah, it was Linda that mentioned that and yeah, don't worry Linda You're gonna get lots of veggies with the rest of your meals and snacks. You still get your veggie snack in the afternoon.

You're all good. Yes. Yeah, here's the note. What do you mean if I'm not hungry after the first half that I have work to do? Does that mean I wasn't adjusting my portions accurately? Yeah. So think about it. You're taking the same, let's take what you took for lunch today and what you ate and

how you ate to what you felt was just enough. You walked away feeling satisfied. Let's say tomorrow you take that same portion, you split it in half, you eat the first portion and you wait 20, 30 minutes. You're not hungry for the second portion. What does that tell you? That the portions you've been eating over the last couple of days are probably way more than what you need, right? Because again, your body gets, a lot of people are coming from a place that it's your portions are about what your body's gotten used to consuming, not actually about what you actually need. And so this is a way to do that without the pressure of restriction that bring that gets brought on with downsizing. Yeah, and I feel like I thinking back to my first time feeding the metabolism and I still

remember that feeling of going through the motions through the week of like, oh, I'm eating so often, I'm not even hungry for dinner, how can I eat anymore to then be, you know, feeling like, oh, I'm hungry all the time, I can't wait for that second half of it. And a lot of it has to do with the fine tuning of what you're doing while you're doing it and how it's hitting. So all of those feelings that you have while you are splitting your portions are little learning moments for you. Take what you learn in your, you know, tomorrow, take what you learn at breakfast and figure out how you can grow from that on your fruit snack, little baby steps. Take what you learn from your

fruit snack and grow with your lunch. And by the time you get to the end of the four days this week that we're doing that, you're going to be approaching that splitting with a whole new mindset of how you can do it. Yeah, it's also, it's about bringing awareness. And so I see Jen, so I'm eating until satisfied and it seems to be very little already. So very little first of all, let's define very little in context to what very little compared to what you are used to. Let's say if you took all the food throughout the day and put your meals and snacks and allocated into three meals a day, would it then be very little? Is it little compared to what everyone else is eating like what and then take it back to okay. Well, how are you feeling?

How's your energy? Do you feel great? You got good energy. Your body's making change. Not just is the scale dropping, but you're noticing changes in your body. You're sleeping better. You're feeling better.

You're pooping better. At this point, all these amazing things you're doing should be adding up. And so what the term very little, is that something by what you're seeing? Because poor shans are always what they feel like. and this is why they're never what they look like. Because someone can eat a lot of food. It doesn't mean it has any nutrient value in that food whatsoever. So it's not about the volume of food that you're

consuming. It's the kinds of foods you're choosing and hence the next level to this of separating your proteins and fats. When you take proteins and fats and you have them on their own, you realize how they hit differently. And this is getting into understanding the difference between eating a piece of fruit and eating a piece of chicken and how satisfied you are off it and the energy you get from it,

really trying to understand that. And so it seems to be very little already. So what are you basing that off of? I just hope it's not a mind fuckery I'm experiencing. It absolutely is a mind fuckery that you're experiencing. That's the whole point of all of this, is your brain has been wired a certain way and makes certain associations with food.

Your body has created a certain set point. That weight that it's feeling it's needing to store is not the weight it feels happiest, it's the weight that it feels it needs to be at to keep you alive because maybe you have a history of starving and depriving over and over, right? Or you're high stress, you're not managing, or you're lack of sleep, or you're over training,

or whatever that is. And now thinking maybe I eat too little. So what makes you again think that you're eating too little, right? And now I do say this understanding that there are people who think less is more and less, it's not about eating less, it's eating at the right amount.

So this is so much bigger than just moving the dial on the scale because your body doesn't want the fat. So we're gonna make sure we keep giving it what it needs. So you're addressing the body's needs. This is about when you're done losing your weight, being able to trust when to eat, what to eat. I want fruit, I want a salad, I want a steak, I need something heavier and heartier, I need a stew.

And then also how much to eat and just being very in tune, knowing the exact moment when you've had enough. And so that's what all of this is. If you just follow the basic food plan, eventually you'll reach your goal. This is all feeding into sustainability. And so it absolutely is fucking with your mind. That's it's designed to do that.

You know, I was saying this morning, the world is trying to find the solution to sustainable weight loss, but they're trying to do it by offering a quick fix.

And it's never, that's not it. And then this is what we're doing here. This is the secret to sustain, a healthy, sustainable weight loss. And this is the work that you need to do because it's so much bigger. It's, and because everyone else is focused on you losing weight.

I'm focused on you losing weight in a way you're actually gonna be able to maintain and sustain and how in tune you need to be in the things that you need to do and work through. So you have to ask yourself, why are you thinking you're eating too little? Why do you think your portions are very little? Why are you using those words?

And what's triggering those words? You would know if you're not eating enough, you'd be faint, you'd have low energy, your weight wouldn't be dropping, you'd be like, you know, not unable to function, your mind would be all fucked up because you're not getting the nutrients that it needs. So that's where you wanna be like, what is that about? Yeah, I'm thinking about how often

we're eating. Like you look at someone who, in general, there's many people here, I know I was one of them at one point that only eat once a day, we're going long periods of time without eating and eating small amounts because they were all eating at once. Anybody who's sort of been involved in intermittent fasting can see that there's like having that condensed, not eating all day and then eating a bigger meal. You're still not eating that much. You're just not spreading it out over the day with what we're doing here

because you're giving yourself nutrient rich foods throughout the day from when you get up till dinner time. The thought of eating too little, like that portion in the moment, you may think in your mind because it's not what you used to eat that thought of eating too little, like that portion in the moment, you may think in your mind because it's not what you used to eat that it looks like too little, but if you look at the course of your day, you're eating six times a day. And now with feeding them a tablism, it's like 98 times a day or something like that. However, that math works, but like you're eating often enough that there's not really

a fear that you're not getting enough You're just putting it out throughout the day versus really trying to focus on Making sure you get you know large amounts at certain meals So yeah, or look at the diets you've done before we literally were starving and depriving yourself. Um, I love this comment I know my breakfast portion is already small But I can own but I can only eat half of it almost every morning because I'm full from tea and water. So I gotta talk about this. I've never come back for my other half because I'm way too full.

After my second week on this program, my portions got really small and never hungry because the amount of water I've been drinking. So water is not doing anything to satisfy your appetite. That's really important to understand. Starving people all over the world will tell you that you can drink as much water as you want when you are legitimately hungry. Water does butt fuck all to address your hunger levels. I think many people are surprised that when they start drinking water

and feeling satisfied, they're understanding that you were never hungry to begin with. Chances are you were chronically dehydrated. And when you are chronically dehydrated, because water is so important, and not only just when it comes to fat loss, but just your health and wellness, your cellular function, your energy levels, all of that, you are primarily water. Um, when you are dehydrated, your body will desperately get you to crave high water content foods. And so people miss those cues of hunger, which are really just your body asking you to drink more water. And so when you are giving your body the hydration that it needs, it's not doing anything to satisfy your hunger levels. Now, if you are drinking your water in condensed amounts, like

this way you want to spread it out and your belly feels full from from like you water drinking this is why you want to spread it out but even with that if you were actually hungry you would be hungry and so that's really important because we have been taught that drink a glass of water and it'll make you feel satisfied or full it doesn't if you were hungry and you drink a glass of water and you are no longer hungry you were never hungry to begin with and so this is one of the things that people realized that a lot of hunger just came out of straight up dehydration in your body out of being desperate for water, getting you to crave high water content foods,

which are sweet, which are carby. Yeah, and are you drinking that tea and coffee, whatever people are doing in the morning, are you doing that as a distraction? And is that why you're not feeling hungry for the second portion? Because you've purposely distracted yourself with those beverages, because that's a trick people used to do and dieting trick from way back in the day is to keep doing these things to distract yourself. Like if you're doing that, maybe take them out and see if it makes the difference in how you're

feeling and really dig in. I'm noticing just in the comments here and also a couple in the group, we have one from Linda here saying, I can't see there is any way I can do this week, this tweak. I have relatives flying in for a week. I'll be making meals and going out and about for the next week. Also two big birthday celebrations.

Can I do these tweak days a week later? We had someone else say that, you know, I'm enjoying the program, but my work schedule will not allow me to do this. And I think just looking at that, there's always a way. I feel like there's people that are trying to get out of doing this by thinking right now it's Wednesday, there's no way that I can do this. And I think just really reinforcing the one thing I just wanna reinforce to these people right now is that you can do what you can do.

You, you know, if you've got company coming into town, you're sitting and having dinner with people, eat while you're making dinner, eat a little bit of the dinner. And then when you're serving it 20, 30 minutes later to your guests, eat your second portion then. So you're eating with them. Eat half of your breakfast before you leave for work.

If you have a half hour commute and then when you arrive at work, eat the other half of your breakfast. If you can't do your lunch because you're busy with meetings and things all day, eat that all at once. But then make sure you're splitting your dinner when you're at home. It's not all or nothing. The people that are sort of those A type personalities're at home. It's not all or nothing. The people that are sort of those A type personalities that have to be all in are all or nothing. I'm

having stew. Do I have to pick out the protein? I'm having soup. How do I split this? Like, we're, we're giving you the outline and all of the information, do as many meals and snacks as you can, even if it's just one a day. I challenge all of these people that think they cannot do this because they're busy, because they've got company coming from out of town, because they're going out for dinner, then don't do that dinner. Do another meal, pick another meal, pick a

snack. I mean, the nut snack or the veggie snack are perfect examples of ones that you can do even the fruit. Have a snack, take a break, talk to your guests, have a little conversation, go back and get a few more vegetables. You don't have to explain what you're doing or you can explain and maybe they'll be on board and they love you and they're going to support you. Like, hey, how can I support you doing this? You might be surprised, but really challenge yourself to take at least one meal or snack. Give it a go. If it's overwhelming to you to think about splitting the protein and the carbs, and don't even get me started on carbs,

people are telling me that they're not having carbs right now, so they don't know how to do that. But then just split the meal in half and start with that this week, because we do have another week next week to take another shot at it and dig in a little further. So take your baby steps this week so that you can be all in

and prepare yourself for next week. Yeah, week so that you can be all in and prepare yourself for next week. Yeah, I love that you mentioned the carbs, the people really need to educate themselves on carbs, carbs are vegetables, carbs are fruits, carbs are rices, carbs are grains, carbs are your oatmeal. I think people think of carbs, I think breads and pasta. That's not at all, because especially with we have this tweet coming down the pipeline, people like I haven't been eating carbs. I'm like, yes, you have. You've been eating fruits and vegetables that are carbohydrates. I think tomorrow we have a post on let's revisit proteins, carbs, and fats, I think.

Did we already post that? Did we already post that? I don't know. Anyway, it's in the group and in the app. So if you want a refresher, which is a great idea, especially because someone was talking about proteins. Oh, and my menopause group, they were talking about how they're having a hard time getting enough protein.

And I'm like, well, you can go, there's a lot of vegetables that have protein in them. You wanna look for the foods that are highest protein. So I was suggesting that post over there. Yeah, you're so right about this because I have a child. Oh Lord, it takes that girl, from when she was a baby, I swear she just sat in her high chair all day long I'd eat I'd feed her breakfast. She'd take forever. She's still that way. We go out for dinner

We're all done and we're sitting there and she's still eating her food Same thing at home. She's the worst like we've all eaten had our conversation We're cleaning up and she's still at the table eating our food And so this is sort of where I saw, was it Michelle? Someone gave an example. They're like, oh, Suzanne, for people who have a social gathering this week, you can you not just eat half the portion and then stop. Join the conversation.

Take a minute and then have a few bites later. Like you do have the 20 minutes. You'd be surprised if you're sitting around and dinner with friends and family. You know, you're eating. And I do this all the time. I'll eat what I think is like enough and I'll sit there and I'm waiting for everyone else to finish and then I'll like naturally just have a few more bites, right? So it's really no different. But to your point, like if you can't do the tweak then maximize your

ass off. There's still a lot to do with following the basic food plan. Really dig your heels into those four mindful eating questions. Level up the things that you are doing. But also this is the time, there's never a good time and you've set aside the 91 days to do this and this is like saying to your teacher, I remember in school for example, in a photography class I had to go out and take photos of find certain homes that were built in a certain way and certain architecture. Highly inconvenient. I had a job, I was in school, I was whatever, I'm like, fuck, you know, but that's the homework. That's, she didn't wanna hear about how I couldn't do it.

Go, you sign up for this class, go get your fucking camera and take those photos. And so, you know, how are you framing this? Are you looking at it like a course? This is your homework this week. To as often as possible, split up your meals and snacks, right? Bring extra awareness to that.

If you wanna go for bonus marks, separate your protein from your carbs, and then the homework is what was your awareness? What was your takeaway? What did you think about? What did you feel? What was your awareness? That's the homework if you really wanna put it in a way

that can resonate with you. you really want to put it in a way that you're can resonate with you. Right. So yeah, exactly. And yeah, I think perfect is take that that takeaway, bring that back to us next week, because next week, it's the same tweak and we'll be doing the tweak this week again. And, you know, take get your takeaway, see how you feel share in the you know, in the comments in the queue, share how you are feeling about this tweak as you're doing it with us.

And we'll be able to, there's a whole team of people that can help you through your challenges that you're coming up with it. Like don't do this alone. Yeah, reach out, reach out, reach out. But again, it comes down to, I guess my thought that I had today in the conversation on the live is that the world is looking for an answer

to sustainable weight loss and we have it here. And the answer is it's not a quick fix. It's doing this kind of work. And this kind of work, as inconvenient as it is and uncomfortable as it is, these changes that you're making are for a reason. And it's all feeding into not just you losing your weight, but losing a weight where really you can maintain and sustain. And so at some point you will have to make up the work. You know, to someone who's like, well, I can't do it this way. Can I do it later? No, the whole program and it got to understand that. That's why I'm such a stickler about it. Because I've just, everything is for a rhyme and a reason. And if there's parts that you can't do, fine. There's enough that you're doing with the basic food plan, but you got to

keep it moving forward. You don't go back, you don't repeat steps. You have to figure out a way to make it work. And if you can't, then you just have to be understanding that maybe you can't be as proactive as you would like this week. Maybe you have to take a lower mark this week, right? Maybe you have to, you don't get the bonus marks or anything like that, but you can make it up next week

or the week after by continuing to show up and do the thing, so. All right. I think that's all that we have for this week. I'm excited. I think you know there's lots of takeaways for members who are worried about tomorrow and I think I have to say though and just to end really positive note there's a lot of people that are super excited about this tweak, both returning members and new members. I think Cathy was my favourite comment of the week. Cathy, I don't know how to say her last name, but she's like, well then, I did not expect this to be what it is. I'm all in. This is going to be so much fun.

I think separating the protein and the carbs will be the easiest route. Seriously, I can't wait to see what this feels like. Let's go metabolism. Yeah, like please have fun with that, right? The Living Method was designed, yes, it's serious, but we lost, but it was designed to have fun, a self-discovery to learn about yourself, to unravel the shit you gotta unravel

in a really safe place, to do that in a way that you're being guided and you're not on your own. And so this is like, have fun with this. Even if you can't split you know, like you're not on your own. And so this is like have fun with this. You know what you even if you can't split up a meal or snack, you will realize the chaos of your life. You'd be like, oh my God, I don't I am so scheduled. I don't have time for anything.

Maybe you might want to think about what are the things you can do to make more time for yourself, right? If you're always in your eating your food on a rush, it's not great for digestion. It's not great for anything. Take time to feed yourself properly. You know, and maybe this is hard conversations you have to have with people, right?

Maybe this is going to your boss. You'd be like, listen, I gotta take at least 20 minutes. Like I've got to make time for myself. Like, you know, me feeding myself, you know, me feeling better and being healthier is gonna mean I'm more productive. And you know, my mind is sharper and I'm happier and I'm all of those things.

And so you doing what you need to do is sometimes not easy for other people. And that's really where it gets tough, but have fun with it. Yeah, have fun with it. That's all we've got for this week, I think. Okay, all right. My voice is going on me, so I don't have much voice left. I love

these conversations, I love these talks but the biggest takeaway is we're here for you, you're not alone. Reach out, ask as many questions as you need, the team is happy to help. Yes now homework for everyone is go and watch the feeding the metabolism video that was posted today. Oh yeah that'll help it's a whole post on it if you want more information.
