all right part one breaking bad old habits  okay i’m gonna give you some tips on this if  

you happen to have some bad habits related  to food or maybe even it could be you don’t  

exercise enough whatever so a lot of people  are in this situation where they have these  

habits and they have this routine thing of  going through up and down up and down you go  

through stress you your carb you feel better  boredom one day you eat some carbs you feel  

better you’re tired that was my thing i had some  seriously bad habits i used to do ben and jerry’s  

every single night for probably a year okay a  whole pint no problem i would look forward to it  

i used to do the chips potato chips i used  to do popcorn at night snacking a routine  

thing as i watch tv and then i started getting  into um a healthier snack right an apple with  

nut butters almond butter i would do that between  breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner  

okay it’s a bad habit i put in a lot of  weight i was like 211 pounds at one time  

where i was living you could buy these margaritas  at the 7-eleven and i would get into that for  

probably six months of every night coming home  buying this margarita and just getting in that  

bad habit so i had some pretty bad habits and i  have a lot of other bad habits but um it usually  

starts off very pleasurable and then it gets very  uncomfortable and sometimes it gives you pain  

so the question i have for you  is what routine do you have  

what’s the worst one put it down below  in the comments section and once you  

do that i have a question for you what is your  willingness to change on a scale from one to ten  

or zero to ten 0 being no willingness 10  being extremely willing or let’s say 5 being  

well maybe but it really depends on how easy it  is go ahead and put that number down below so  

a lot of times maybe friends and family that you  have that are trying to get you to eat healthier  

they might talk about all the negative  things that could happen to you  

from eating this thing or eating too  many carbs but what i want to do is  

i want to take a different approach i want  to talk about all the good things about it  

all the right things about it what’s  right about eating these carbohydrates  

so that is a question does it make you happy does  it make you feel better does it help you relax  

is it more fulfilling after a long day  at the office that would be something to  

evaluate and look at now what i want to do is  explain a little bit further what’s happening  

at the physical level when you are consuming  routine regular carbohydrates as a bad habit  

you’re really oscillating between  two neurotransmitters one is dopamine  

which gives you the pleasure sensation and  the other one is serotonin which gives you  

a happy sensation happy pleasure  happy pleasure back and forth  

but when you are consuming these carbohydrates  what you’re really doing is you’re satisfying  

the withdrawal symptoms of these receptors that  have become downgraded and they’re creating an  

urge to consume this carbohydrate what i want  to tell you is that these carbohydrate cravings  

are very unnatural they’re developed over a period  of time with certain chemical changes that happen  

in the body when you start consuming these refined  carbs over a period of time your neurology your  

neurotransmitters all will start to behave  in a way that now you’re slightly addicted  

so what is an addiction it’s something that you  have a strong craving for that you can’t control  

so what can you do about that well number one  we need to increase that to a 10. you need to  

decide to do it make a decision number two you  need to change your routine whatever that is  

you need to get the ice cream out of the house you  have to make it very difficult to go buy ice cream  

you also have to put yourself an environment that  is not very tempting and maybe replace the refined  

carbohydrates with maybe a healthier version of  that maybe a keto dessert something like that  

number three rid distractions there are so  many things that are going to distract a person  

from their goal uh you know social events  having people over that have the same bad habit  

those are all distractions watching the  food channel that’s going to distract you  

from staying on track number four you got to  push through the discomfort what discomfort the  

withdrawal symptoms it’s a feeling of pressure  it’s a feeling of a void that you have to fill  

there’s certain amount of pain and pressure and  stress involved if you don’t give in to these  

cravings number five increase more dietary fat at  the meal very very important if you’re on a low  

fat diet or a low calorie diet you are going to  have a tough time it’s very important to consume  

more fat at the meal so you can then go longer  and feel satisfied so you eventually can have it  

where your cravings go down to zero that is the  ideal scene and number six b vitamins especially  

b1 from nutritional yeast which is a very natural  and therapeutic thing to greatly help you because  

all these neurotransmitters need the b vitamins to  work correctly so you’ll get relief just from that  

alone all right stay tuned for part two hey before  you go real quick i have a course entitled how to  

bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course  i want you to take it and here’s why here’s you  

here is your environment everyone is  focused on this over here avoiding  

your environment but what about here what about  strengthening your immune system that’s what’s
