    When the Newness Wears Off

    When the Newness Wears Off

    This episode is about what you do when the newness of a program or “fresh start” wears off.
    In her book, Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, shares that the anticipation of getting something is usually better than actually getting it.
    (Not always. Sometimes it's WAY better, like the new dress I just bought! But mostly, she's right.)
    Very often the excitement and anticipation dwindle before you even get what it is you're going for!
    The point is, newness always wears off, and that's when a lot of people go looking for some new way to feel excited instead of continuing to do what works just because it's not "new and exciting" anymore.
    I see this every single time on the Facebook 10 Pound Takedown.
    The week leading up to Day 1 and Day 1 itself have the most posting and engagement. The excitement is palpable.
    But once Day 1 hits, people start dropping off, because the dopamine hit they got from "a new start" begins to fade (which it always does, no matter the situation).
    People who succeed with anything for more than five seconds know how to keep going even after the initial excitement wears off.
    The question is, how do you keep going even when it's not new and exciting anymore...
    So you can finally get the result you've been trying to get for eons, but still don't have because you program hop or fizzle out?
    Tune into this week's new podcast episode about what to do when the newness wears off...
    Especially because it applies to WAY more than weight loss.

    My Answer Will Always be the Same

    My Answer Will Always be the Same

    I've been in the weight loss industry for thirty years as of 2024, and when it comes to weight loss, I've seen everything you can imagine.
    Pills, shakes, powders, and crazy "diets" come and go year after year, decade after decade.
    I've changed my stance on a few things over the years, too.
    For example, I used to believe in frequent eating for weight loss, and that the low-fat/high-carb diet was the "healthiest."
    I used to give my mom grief for not eating breakfast (which she didn't do because she wasn't hungry first thing in the morning).
    I used to be okay with veganism and being vegetarian (these days I personally don't support removing animal protein from your diet).
    One thing I haven't changed my mind on, however, is this:
    Real food, water, and sleep are the best and healthiest way to lose weight, clean up your wellness, and TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK.
    If you're new to Code Red, you may be skeptical it's that simple.
    You may still believe obesity can only be fixed with surgery, shots, pills, powders, INSANE and unsustainable diet gimmicks, or even killing yourself in the gym for five hours a day.
    Whether you think real food, water, and sleep are "too good to be true," or you're a veteran Rebel who knows it'll do you good to hear the truth again, tune into this episode about what I believe that will never change if you're looking for safe, sustainable weight loss and wellness.

    Fear the ABSENCE of PRESSURE with Chris Cavallini

    Fear the ABSENCE of PRESSURE with Chris Cavallini

    I haven't met many people who seek out discomfort and avoid comfort like the plague, but this week's podcast guest is one of them.
    His name is Chris Cavallini, and he's the CEO and founder of Nutrition Solutions, a healthy meal prep company.
    Growing up, Chris was in and out of foster homes, group homes, juvenile detention centers, and jail cells.
    He was arrested seventeen times before his eighteenth birthday and committed multiple felonies.
    Yet despite ALL that, Chris turned his life around in a BIG way that, statistically, most people don't.
    And like most people who transform in a big way, it started with a turning point.
    His path wasn't all sunshine and rainbows even after he chose a new path. Not even close.
    But he made it happen cap'n, and to me, his story is proof that anyone who decides to CAN turn their life around.
    So how did Chris go from convicted felon to CEO of a successful health-based company?
    And what can YOU learn from his trials and tribulations to get and keep your weight off?
    Tune into this episode to learn all that and MORE.

    HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET

    HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET

    This episode is all about how quickly we forget, and what happens when we do.
    I was born partially deaf in my right ear, but my hearing loss wasn't discovered until I was in seventh grade, after my math teacher made fun of me in front of the whole class because I couldn’t hear him.
    My parents had my hearing checked after that, and that's when we discovered my partial hearing loss.
    I got hit in the head a lot during my eight-year boxing career, which made my hearing loss worse.
    Fast-forward to last year, when I finally invested in high-quality hearing aids, and let me tell ya...I had no idea how much I was missing!
    When I go to the gym in The Grove Hotel (which I live above at the time of this episode), I take my hearing aids out because I sit in the sauna after I work out and don’t want them to get all gross.
    Sometimes I chat with other people in the sauna, including a lobbyist I met there recently. I really wanted to hear what he had to say, but without my hearing aids I could only hear one in every three words. It was awful!
    And it got me thinking about how quickly we forget how miserable we USED TO BE.
    In my case, I left my hearing aids behind because I quickly forgot how miserable it is not to be able to hear people.
    When it comes to the Code Red Lifestyle™, how quickly we forget the misery we lived in before switching to real food, water, and sleep.
    That’s why this episode is all about how quickly we forget...and more importantly, how we can remember...not so we wallow in the pain, but so we don't lose sight of what we left behind, slip back into our old ways, and lose everything we worked so hard to get.

    BUT IT'S JUST THIS ONCE

    BUT IT'S JUST THIS ONCE

    When I first started Code Red fourteen years ago, people lost weight much more slowly, and that's for two reasons:
    I was still learning, so the program wasn't as good as it is now I allowed people to eat one cheat meal a week I come from a bodybuilding background, and one cheat meal a week is what bodybuilders often do.
    But many average Americans don't work out consistently (or at all), and most are metabolically broken.
    (More importantly, you cannot out-train a bad diet, no matter how much you exercise.)
    What I eventually figured out is that a healthy, super fit bodybuilder eating one cheat meal a week is a completely different situation than an obese grandmother who can't get out of her recliner without help eating one cheat meal a week.
    It also became crystal clear that cheat meals led my clients to take one step forward and TWO steps back.
    Plus, once they started cheating, they couldn't contain it to just one meal. It turned into going off the rails completely.
    In this week’s new podcast, I’ll reveal how cheat meals really affect you, including what they actually do to you and how they impede your progress. (There's more to it than you probably realize.)
    If you struggle with the "but it's just this once" mindset when it comes to cheats, tune in for an eye-opening episode!

    EXPLAINING THE CUSTOM PROGRAM

    EXPLAINING THE CUSTOM PROGRAM

    A lot of people have heard of a customized nutrition program from Code Red, but not everyone knows how it works.
    Since a customized program is the fastest way to get your weight off with Code Red, I've dedicated this week's podcast episode to pulling back the curtain and showing you what a custom program (now called a Home Study nutrition program) is and how it helps you lose weight faster.
    If you've ever wondered about a customized program (or you haven't heard of it and want to get the full scoop), check out this episode for all the details!
