every one I have a very special guest

Krista is with us and she has an amazing

success story and she’s one of my health

coaches so I’m very interested in

talking with you hi Krista how you doing

nice to meet you nice meeting you so um

can you tell me a little bit about your

journey where you were when you first

started I know that you’re struggling

with losing weight can you tell us a

little bit about what happened how you

got yourself in that situation oh I have

been heavy almost as far back as I can

remember

so most of my adult life even it’s a

little kid oh you know elementary school

and stuff like that but even through

middle school and high school and just

wait

was there any a point was there ever a

point like let’s say when you first had

your first mental cycle or a certain

point in your life where else and you

started gaining weight was any distinct

well I can remember the first time that

my mom and I did Weight Watchers and it

was right around twelve thirteen years

old

so okay enough at that point to need to

drop something interesting did you have

any issue with dimensional cycle at that

time like they’ve never been good so

it’s kind of been a just a lifelong

issue nothing where did you tend to hold

the weight was it all over or anyplace

initially well all over but more

concentrated and probably hips as I area

I remember taking measurements and and

at one point I was sixty plus inches

around so like okay lose my mind now

it’s like wow yeah that sounds like an

ovary body type so you’re going along

and did you try to diet for many years

or tell me like what happened over and

over

/ and you know you lose that 3040 pounds

and then it just starts creeping back on

and it’s like well if if I’m gonna gain

it may as well be eating the junk and so

I just gave up every time and of course

the older you get the harder and harder

and harder if not even loose at 30 40 50

pounds

absolutely well when was there a turning

point when you found was it when you

found keto or what tell me like what

happened when you you know just in

passing one of my husband’s co-workers

had they were talking about it at work

and he had mentioned it to me and I was

just looking through Pinterest and

popped it in the search bar and one of

your videos was right there though Wow

which is kind of weird because I’m

typically not a video watcher but for

some reason I clicked on it and I think

it was one of the intro intro to Kido in

a minute fasting and I watched it and I

remember just thinking that makes a

whole lot of sense then I went to your

library and watched as many as I could

find about Kido and I have and probably

shortly thereafter I ordered your book

and that’s kind of what really sealed

the deal for me and I don’t know if it

was just a book had everything all in

one place but after I was done reading

it I kinda remember thinking just you

know my feeling was like I’ve been

poisoning myself it’s like I mean this

association with sugar s poison that you

know I’ve just been kind of killing

myself slowly right here right here yeah

oh my gosh it just uh I don’t know it

just made sense

Wow was there anything in the book more

than others that was like a sudden

realization that you didn’t know like

related

I don’t know insulin or carbohydrates or

anything like that well you know yes I

think one of my big takeaways from the

book was food quality know that kind of

really clicked with me that just by

eating the non organics and all that

that I was making everything worse the

sugar you know that was a big takeaway

from him but yeah it just the insulin

became the enemy now I know well and

then you you got obviously got started

and kind of tell us how it went when you

in how old were you when you started 49

Wow and you got started and then tell us

how went from that hold on we started

kind of slow and simple

lots of eggs trying to think of what

else you know cheese you keeping it

basic and I did track at the beginning I

think I used my fitness pal because I

didn’t know what 20 carbs or less look

like I can’t even imagine fryer what we

[Music]

need to do that 21st first month but I’m

trying to with a loss but you know it

was it was fairly significant that’s

pretty good because people have to

realize that you really could only lose

two pounds that’s not a good metabolism

per week so people are like oh my

husband lost 20 pounds the first week

well that was water weight great and

I remember that from the video and would

kind of know tell myself that it

probably not even nine weeks where you

know you didn’t lose it’s like but for

us it was real kind of slow slow and

steady great and then what was your most

you weighed and then what do you weigh

now 315 was starting and I’m 5/8 so and

then yesterday as 138 that’s incredible

yeah it’s pretty cool that is amazing in

those years that that’s um we’re at

almost two years

exactly wow that is like that’s an

entire person I mean that’s like it’s

yeah more than an entire person yeah

depending on the person right exactly

Wow average sized American male right

that’s incredible so do people like look

at you and go what the heck have I mean

cuz they probably remember you so

completely different shape of your face

and your body and you’re like what doc

yeah that’s a great before-and-after

mm-hmm yeah it’s it’s it’s amazing

friends and family have jumped up or two

it’s been successful so you’re like a

walking billboard I mean who’s gonna

like say anything like okay whatever you

doing I want to do it for sure for sure

well both myself and my husband are

evidence that it works he plus 160

pounds I need to see his picture before

an opportunity if then your success

story somewhere ease during the reviews

are in the success to town okay I’ll

look come on what about your how do you

feel oh like night and day

Wow yeah this is just and I didn’t

realize how bad I felt until you don’t

feel so bad anymore right it’s just your

normal and I would say probably I had

chronic swelling in my hands and feet

and then I probably went away at about

the two months point so and I had dealt

with that for years so to me that was

just like okay this this is working

that’s remarkable and so how many times

do you eat per day now now I’m back to

two meals a day I’m trying to figure out

maintenance so trying to find that sweet

spot because I lost like eight pounds

accidentally but I remember you’re

talking about that in one of the the

maintenance videos that you know it’s a

little trying trial and error to figure

out how much fat to be eating so yeah

yeah everyone’s different and then how

about give me an example of when you eat

your timing like your first meal you’re

sucking milk well we started three meals

a day no snacks and we probably

eliminated breakfast around that

two-month point we just weren’t hungry

so we just stopped eating breakfast and

we have our first meal about one second

meal about 6:00 somewhere in there so

it’s kind of what I’m doing here right

now that’s great and then you meet

example of what you would eat in a meal

I made a lot of casseroles just because

we could eat for three days on a you

know nine by thirteen casserole so we’ve

quite a few casserole recipes that I

would make soup breakfast food we tried

to vary it but we just eat what we like

well so can you tell people as far as

the difficulty is it hard doing this

lifestyle now

in fact it’s hard when people compliment

me and say oh all your hard work and I

really feel like saying this was the

easiest weight loss I have ever

experienced it really and I don’t know

if I was just like a setup for it

perfectly or something but I mean I

didn’t have any of the any of the you

know no keto flu none of the things that

you hear but I also tried to do exactly

what you said in the book so the only

thing I was concerned about might be a

challenge for me as I don’t like

vegetables okay no it’s like I knew I

was going to have to come up with a

shape compaction to get my vegetables in

which I did I was spinach shake every

day sometimes two depending on the day

and we started nutritionally straight

from the beginning so other than we had

a few issues with leg cramps that went

away well you’re just like you’re like

the perfect example of the result of

just doing it correctly because a lot of

times people they try to they don’t

realize it’s kind of a technology of

just is a formula do it like this and

you’re gonna avoid this you know you

just works because it’s based on so many

people like we’ve tested in tens of

thousands of people so just do it and

you’ll see it will work yeah and really

the that poison Association is what did

it for me I’ve never had a desire to

cheat I can walk back and forth in the

candy aisle I know just you know reading

about what goes on that food I think I

made an association like roundup or

something it’s like what I ingest

roundup no right why would I eat a

cupcake right it really is poisonous it

is yeah

it’s interesting you mentioned something

in ition we’re talking about insulin

being the problem and for those of you

watching they’re new to what we’re

talking about we’re talking about

healthy keto and in a minute fasting and

even 10 to 15 years before someone gets

diabetes type 2

they usually have problems with the eye

problems at the kidney problems with the

heart blood pressure inflammation and

all that happens with excessive amount

of insulin but no one ever test for

insulin so it go along for 10 to 20

years you develop insulin resistance

because too much insulin is very very

toxic and then the then they start to

get high blood sugar because they fail

to have insulin to regulate properly so

now we get the icing on the cake

literally is the added glucose high

sugar that destroys the body in addition

to high insulin so I always tell people

if you’re new to list when you go to the

doc literally force them to test your

fasting insulin and if it’s above 5 then

you know you have a big problem and

sometimes it’s like 15 20 and that

insulin is just like destroying the the

retina doing the kidney and dementia but

the blood sugars are normal so you gotta

look at the whole picture and understand

the mechanism how about how about loose

skin do you do have a lot of it a little

bit a little bit not a lot I mean for

what I’ve lost you know I know people

who’ve had gastric bypass and literally

end up having to have pounds of skin

removed and it just continues to improve

so that’s why I don’t want to go back to

three meals a day you still want to keep

as much of the benefits as I can because

it just keeps improving well yeah that’s

right so people whether you do it on if

you do it healthily the skin should come

back just like because it’s an organ

it’s healing just like everything else

and also you you got training as a

trained as the health coach Aikido

health coach you’re one of my coaches

did you complete just okay okay great

well I’m excited to have you do that

just because someone like you that has

the reality of being there and how many

people would just love to pick your

brain and say okay what do I do next

because I want to look like you I mean

that’s incredible what what age are you

know 51 that’s incredible incredible

when I started so I bet you know what I

thought was gonna be a challenge but wow

it seemed to be I mean just like in the

before pictures you just look so much

older it’s just amazing if you said that

the interesting thing when you were

talking about the eye issues those

pictures were taken in 2005 I avoided

cameras so there’s not a lot of before

pictures floating around but it’s kind

of ironic that I used those because I

would we took those because I was trying

to lose weight counting calories or some

traditional method because I had like

out of nowhere an episode of optic

neuritis where my eyes were not tracking

right and so of course everyone went

right - that’s probably a mess it’s

probably a mess

Wow so all this testing and whatnot but

I didn’t have a lot of the other

indicators of MS I didn’t you know no

lesions showed up on the MRIs and spinal

tap was good so but everyone was still

is probably a mess

trauma sure I highly suspect that it was

probably sugar that I was so sugar and

so toxic yes that

you know I’ve been fun Wow Wow yeah time

will tell on that you can’t say anything

100% certainty but yeah we’ll see yeah

yeah well high sugar high insulin

targets the blood vessel from the eye

which affects the nerves in the eye and

so you start having all sorts of

inflammatory eye conditions macular

degeneration retinopathy same with the

kidneys anything with the hard seeing

with the brain so sounds sounds like

that’s what probably happened wow this

is this an amazing you get so well and I

really just want to get you on to get

your story I appreciate you just

following through and not cheating along

the way like everyone else no desire

still don’t just everything people need

to realize that if they do what you say

everything you said is is how it was at

least for me you know your hunger do

this correctly in your hunger will go

away it did your cravings will go away

it did Wow Richard seven to ten cups of

veggies or as close as you can I you

know I’ll be honest I probably don’t get

quite that much but I’ve never had any

issues like I said other than you know a

little bout with leg cramps it’s a very

beginning one has been it and what you

said would happen has happened and I

mean I never thought to this level you

know I was like oh if I could if I could

just get out of Plus Sizes oh yeah yeah

right

well this is so great

yeah it’s really been awesome and thanks

to you you know you’re welcome just

amazing well that’s it just definitely

my reward just for doing is just to get

your results I mean that’s what I do

this for I just love to hear that and

you know I got the email from you in my

plan I hate to do the whole interview

I’m just your story because it’s

it’s amazing so I think it’s gonna have

a lot of people that they’re watching
