okay I’m back and this is part three on

why people can’t lose weight and today

we’re going to talk about

self-discipline what is self-discipline

it’s your ability to control yourself

your body and not to let your body

control you so there’s several things

that you need to do because this one is

very very common

and until you reach a certain point of

your life where you’re maybe really

really sick or a very overweight you

might not have self-discipline I I was

very very unaware growing up and I never

had self-discipline with my eating in

fact I pretty much ate food to fill me

up

that was my level of awareness I didn’t

know about nutrition my body craves

something I would eat it so the first

step is to be aware of what you’re doing

in the past I would crave lasagna Pizza

chips crackers and sugar and I would

just eat those until I was think was

twenty eight where I decided you know

what I can’t keep doing this I got

really really really sick and then I

started to be started to decide to

change and puts himself discipline so

I’m almost 32 now so that way I’m really

starting to learn from my past I’m just

kidding I’m actually almost 40 next

month I’ll be 50 actually so I was a lot

older back when I was 20 but I’ve been

working on my health so it does work it

does work if you aware of what you put

in your body so that’s step one is to be

aware that your body is not very very

intelligent into telling you what you

really need if you go to a grocery store

when you’re hungry and ask your body

what am I in the mood for it’s not going

to give you the right answer alright so

step one is to be aware of what you put

in your mouth you wouldn’t drive a car

unaware right down the street like

you’re an automatic where you don’t even

look at the road well maybe you do that

well you would you don’t want to do that

with your body you don’t want to put

your body in automatic where you’re just

realize oh my gosh what did I just do I

just ate all the wrong food so you want

to just increase more awareness of what

you’re doing

step two is preventive the most

important thing

to do is to make sure that breakfast is

really really really good because if

your breakfast is either missing or not

enough protein or too many carbs at

night you are going to have low blood

sugars and that is going to create major

urges and it’s going to be very hard to

put self-discipline because you’re going

to be roaming around trying to find

something to eat so it’s very important

to be able to prevent cravings at night

by eating a good breakfast the other

thing is that if you’re not sleeping

that well if you’re going through a lot

of stress and you’re not really handling

the stress or the cause of stress you’ll

have a tendency to want to maybe drink

alcohol at night as a way to solve that

or a lot of people are taking

medications now for various things like

brain fog memory problems cognitive

issues but a lot of that can be handled

through just getting your food right so

number one awareness to preventative and

number three is to be able to with

awareness differentiate what your body

really really needs because if it’s low

on B vitamins it’s going to crave carbs

refined breads pasta cereal crackers all

those grains why because those grains

naturally have the highest B vitamins

the problem is when you grind the grain

in the flour you destroy these vitamins

and then you don’t get any vitamins in

fact when you eat refined grains you

actually create deficiencies of B

vitamins yeah because there’s no B

vitamins in there anymore and that’s why

they enrich the flour with synthetic B

vitamins it’s not the same thing so if

you’re craving those things your chances

are you’re you’re low on bees also

starches now the next thing is magnesium

if you’re low in magnesium your body

will crave chocolate that’s one of the

things in chocolate but it won’t tell

you to take magnesium it will tell you

to eat chocolate your body if it’s if

it’s deficient in potassium will cause

you to crave sugar or sweets why because

guess what food has the highest amount

of potassium sugar cane but no one eats

regular sugar cane they eat the refined

white sugar

you’re never going to get the potassium

in fact when you eat pure sugar you

create potassium deficiencies yeah and

that’s why the heart starts going up and

you start feeling the fluid because the

town team is kind of like a diuretic it

pushes fluid fluid out so potassium is

very very important and I mean I’m not

saying go out and chew on sugar cane but

that’s why you crave it is because your

body is missing a mineral all right so

now we have low blood sugars this is

another thing as soon as you start to

get into the sugar trap while you’re you

crave sugar to eat it and the next day

the sugar drops down lower and then

you’ll need sugar and next to you comes

up down so people a lot of people crave

sweets if they have a low blood sugar

and the thing not to do is to consume

sugar because it’s going to spike up and

it’s going to come right down harder

every time you do that and that’s one

thing I don’t understand about even with

people that are diabetics they’re given

glucose pills if their sugar goes too

low to me that is totally insane because

if they just had some fruit or something

like that that would be much better but

to completely refine sugar all that’s

going to do is spike the sugar up and

then crash it down so three things start

increasing your awareness of

self-discipline that you’re in a trap

and your body won’t tell you what you

really need you have to tell it what to

do you have to be in charge

put some self-discipline don’t wait till

you get really overweight or very sick

do it now while you have a chance

prevent use preventative strategies the

breakfast is the most important thing

start eating for a different purpose

health and then also be able to

differentiate what your body really

really really needs ok so this is the

last point I want to bring up and white

people can’t lose weight they’re just

out of control so I hope this gives you

some information to turn this around

I’ll see you in the next video
