377: What's Actually in Our Cart: The 13 Disease-Reversing Foods We Buy Every Week

The player is loading ...

Jarrod had no idea this was coming.

I pulled him into a lightning round: 13 foods that are in our grocery cart on repeat, power fueling our bodies, and consistently costing us less than what we used to spend eating the old way.

Cruciferous vegetables that fight cancer. Beans that reverse other “chronic” disease. Berries that slow aging. The leafy greens that protects\ your heart. The list just keeps going!

And the thing is, this isn't some expensive, boutique health food shopping. This is real life, six people in our household, buying in bulk, eating more than we ever did before, and being freed from the things that were REALLY costing us: missing all the opportunities we wanted to take in life but couldn’t because we were stuck in all the exhausting health struggles.)

You'll hear exactly what we buy, why we buy it, how we use it, and the strategic thinking behind building the grocery cart that fuels your ability to make kingdom impact instead of feeding future medical bills or “managing” a growing list of symptoms. There’s no fluff or “theory” here, just the exact foods sitting in our kitchen right now that keep us showing up strong for what God called us to do.

So if you're done with standing in the grocery store overwhelmed and not knowing what actually works, this episode hands you the blueprint. Thirteen foods, real results. Your body, your bank account, and the people needing what you can offer are about to have something amazing to celebrate!

Time to fill your cart with abundant life!

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:10.160
That is and that is more pro-level thinking when you start looking at the added cost, not just what it costs you today when you go through the checkout line, but what it's costing you in the future.

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.519
Right, because the average person, the amateur, is looking at cost.

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:14.960
They're looking at dollar to dollar.

00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:22.480
You don't look at dollar to dollar when you look at eating this way, because just like we shared in the last episode, it's not a dollar-for-dollar trade-off.

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.559
First of all, these foods are dollar to dollar.

00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:34.000
Welcome to the Power on Plants podcast, home of the purpose-driven men and women who refuse to let their body become the bottleneck to their God-given calling.

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:48.159
If you're building a business, raising up the next generation, and carrying vision, but behind the scenes, your energy is fading, inflammation is rising, your labs aren't great, and you're wondering how much longer can I keep pushing like this?

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.159
It's time to fix the fuel.

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:56.560
You've accomplished a lot in life, so you know you don't have a discipline problem and you're not just getting older.

00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.560
Your body needs the strategy that matches your assignment.

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:11.359
Whole plant foods the exciting, sustainable way that fuel razor shark focus, optimize energy, reverse inflammation, and the most common chronic diseases of our time.

00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.920
All while you enjoy every single bite.

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:24.159
So if you're done feeling older than you are and you're ready to show up strong, think clearly, multiply your impact, and actually love the meals that move you to optimal health, you're exactly where you need to be.

00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:28.799
So grab your earbuds and let's maximize your power on plants.

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.599

Now, we know that if you're new to whole feed plant-based eating, and even if you've been living this way for a while, it's always so insightful and helpful to know what in the world to eat.

00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:05.200
I know this.

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.400
It's one of the biggest questions we have, right?

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:10.080
What do I eat now?

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:20.479

Things like shepherd's pie and our favorite burgers, creamy tomato soup, date night alfredo sauce, one of my favorites, the most delicious brownies that would rival any non-vegan unhealthy one, carrot cake muffins, matcha latte, chicken away nuggets, and sauce.

00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.800
And the most delicious chocolate frosty you can imagine.

00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.520

What's your favorite recipe?

00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:09.360
He didn't know I was going to do this to him.

00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:10.159
What's your favorite recipe?

00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:13.919
Yeah, give me like three.

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:15.360
Ooh, ouch.

00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:17.680
Because they're all so good.

00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:18.400
Hmm.

00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:19.520
He's buying time.

00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:20.400
I didn't warn him about it.

00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:25.199
No, I'm really I'm trying to think because well, just list some that come to the top of your mind.

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:26.080
Give me some recipes.

00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.159
Well, I love the chai latte.

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.800
I had that recently, and there's just something about it so warm and cozy and inviting.

00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:33.840
Good for the winter.

00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:34.159
Absolutely.

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:34.960
It's a winter.

00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:39.840
We use Roybas tea in it, so it's naturally caffeine-free, so you can enjoy it any time of the day.

00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.520
That's actually later in the evening.

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:42.479
Yeah, that's a good one.

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:47.280
I'm glad you brought that up because even in the hot summertime, I love putting ice in that one.

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.280
You can add ice to it, add less water, and add some ice cubes instead.

00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:52.879
It is the best cold drink.

00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:54.800
I actually think I might prefer it cold.

00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:56.000
It is versatile.

00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:57.840
So whether it's winter or summer.

00:03:58.080 --> 00:03:58.960
That's a good drink when.

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.240
Okay, give me a main dish.

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.879
What's one of your favorite main dishes that we make?

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.840
The one that's popping up right now is the bolinase recipe.

00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:11.120
That one's versatile too because we can put it on pasta or we can make a lasagna out of it.

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.560
Or I think there have even been times when we've used it on non-pasta dishes.

00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.879
Yeah, you can use it on potatoes or things like that.

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.199
You could even use it on like a pizza because it's basically like a pasta sauce, but it's a meaty, it's chunky.

00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.079
And so you get that meatiness and those flavors in there.

00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:27.680
It is delicious.

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:28.560
You're not going to believe it.

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.360
And I think it's one of those that defines what's possible.

00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:38.079
Because really, if you think spaghetti sauce in a plant-based realm, you're never going to have that again otherwise.

00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:39.759
At least that's what you're thinking.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.959
All the flavor, the tomatoes, and the spices and the texture of that dish.

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.279
You just think there's no way I'm going to be able to have it again.

00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.160
But surprise, we've got it in our cookbook.

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.839
And yes, you can have it again.

00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:56.079
And it can be amazing and it can fill you up and be completely satisfying.

00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.560
Yes, and you can eat it on whole grain noodles.

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.639
If you're trying to lose weight, you can eat it on seodles, you can eat it on sandwiches.

00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.160
Spaghetti squash.

00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.639
Oh my word, you nailed it right there.

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:08.639
Look, you would think he cooked a lot.

00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.120
He doesn't cook a lot, but I'm telling you, the man can cook it.

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.199
I don't cook a lot, but I do eat a lot.

00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.000
He is my literally, we It's like certified by association.

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.519
You're cracking me up right now.

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:26.560
We were literally invited the other day into a group that Sid Notter was hosting inside of the plant-based support group network.

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:27.600
It's this membership.

00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.639
Anyway, we gave a talk on inflammation.

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:31.680
It went so great.

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.199
They absolutely loved it.

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.360
But during the talk, I used props.

00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.439
I love using props when we do live talks.

00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:38.160
It's so much fun.

00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.720
And so I slapped this sticker on Jared.

00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.240
He had no idea I was going to do this.

00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:48.079
But I had my daughter make this huge sticker that I could slap on him in the middle of the presentation.

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.800
And it said official taste tester.

00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:52.240
Isn't that hilarious?

00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:53.439
Because it's so true.

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:58.079
But every family needs one, especially a family that writes recipes and they want them to taste great.

00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.079
I'm just living into my role.

00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:01.120
What can I say?

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:02.319
I'd say you're living the dream.

00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.639
If you're going to do it, do it with excellence.

00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.600
Do it with excellence and do it often.

00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:09.439
Living the dream.

00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.600
I'm going to get you a shirt that says live in the dream.

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:20.319
Now, today on this episode, we're doing something similar to a what we eat in a day episode, but this is even a bit more unique and super insightful.

00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:26.800
And it's this the top 13 health-boosting foods that are in our grocery cart on repeat.

00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.279
Now, you'd think this was more expensive, but it's not.

00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.759
We need to do another episode on how that is one of the lies the enemy tells you.

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:47.040
This is the cheapest way you can possibly eat because not only is it cheaper dollar-wise, it's much cheaper in the long run because you're going to save yourself so much money on medical bills and time off work and all these other things that we could go into.

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:47.279
Yes.

00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.439
But I'm not going to because that would be a whole nother process.

00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.399
And that is more pro-level thinking.

00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:59.519
When you start looking at the added cost, not just what it costs you today when you go through the checkout line, but what it's costing you in the future.

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:00.000
Right.

00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.800
Because the average person, the amateur, is looking at cost.

00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:04.399
They're looking at dollar to dollar.

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:11.839
You don't look at dollar to dollar when you look at eating this way because just like we shared in the last episode, it's not a dollar for dollar trade-off.

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.120
First of all, these foods are dollar to dollar way cheaper.

00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.600
I mean, beans and rice and all those things.

00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:23.680
I mean, I literally walked by the meat counter the other day and was blown away.

00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.399
It had been so long since I've looked at meat prices.

00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.360
I had a serious case of sticker shock.

00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.079
Could not believe how expensive it was.

00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:33.439
Two chicken breasts.

00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:34.319
Ridiculous.

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.319
Thank God I don't eat that anymore.

00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:38.639
And seriously, it frees you up in so many ways.

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:45.519
Because again, like Jared's saying, the average person looks at dollar for dollar and they're trying to compare it out, but it's not a dollar to dollar thing.

00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.360
When you eat whole food plant-based, you are banking coin.

00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:54.800
I mean, major, major coin because you're looking at how much would it cost you to have this procedure?

00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.160
How much would it cost you to be on this medication for the rest of your life?

00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:10.879
How much would it cost you to not be able to attend that event with your family, to walk your daughter down the aisle, to be there and run and play with your grandchildren, and to not be able to take all the vacations, to not be able to show up and serve the people God has called you to serve?

00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:12.000
What's the cost of that?

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.160
And that is more kingdom level thinking.

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:25.920
What are the missed opportunities where the father has uniquely called you to go and serve because you are uniquely qualified to be you and to do what only you can do?

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.519
So you need to be able to be there, have the strength, and be able to show up for it.

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.360
And the enemy wants to shut that down.

00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.639
He does not want you thinking about the other costs.

00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.120
He doesn't want you thinking pro level or next level.

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:38.559
He wants to keep you average.

00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:40.639
Oh, well, those foods are expensive.

00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.600
Oh, well, those foods, no, no, they're not.

00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.879
They free you and they are cheaper in the long run.

00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.960
They are going to give you life.

00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:50.080
How much is life worth?

00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.200
We're not even talking now about the money that's going into your bank account.

00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.360
We're talking about quality of life.

00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.360
We're talking about kingdom impact.

00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.279
We're talking about lasting value.

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.600
We're talking about legacy.

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.000
So, what exactly is in our cart?

00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:04.399
Ha ha.

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:05.519
13 things.

00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:06.639
Jared has no idea.

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.159
I did this to Chris Wark.

00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.000
He was on our podcast not too long ago.

00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.759
If you have not seen that episode, you need to go right now to our YouTube channel and watch it.

00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.720
Yes, you can listen to it on your favorite podcast app, but why not watch the video if you like videos?

00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.840
It's on our YouTube channel at Symbol Power on Plants.

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.200
That's at Power on Plants.

00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:24.399
Go there and watch that video.

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:25.519
It is pure gold.

00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:33.600
But afterwards, what we do for our graduates that have graduated from Accelerator, first of all, they have their own private podcast where we teach them things.

00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:34.639
We can dive deeper.

00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:35.679
We have more time.

00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:38.879
And these are next level things we go into.

00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:40.879
And so that is inside Accelerator.

00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:51.679
But once they graduate and they're now inside alumni, when we have guests, we're bringing them in for an extra 15, 30 minutes of just pure gold where we're diving even deeper.

00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:57.039
Well, God gave me this amazing insight when we interviewed Chris Wark.

00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:04.320
And what we did with him is we did a lightning round where I just said a word and he just dumped the gold on whatever word I mentioned.

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:05.840
It was absolutely incredible.

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:13.279
This is another reason why you need to be an accelerator and come into alumni because these are the life-changing strategies that you're not getting on YouTube.

00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:24.639
You could try to piece stuff together, but you're not going to get these next level things that are pinpointed strategic, going to get you from A to C where you want to go and keep you there.

00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:26.000
That is our heart.

00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.759
That is why we show up week after week doing what we do.

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.519
Decide today, you know what?

00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.120
I am a next level thinker.

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.360
Start saying those things to yourself.

00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.159
Even if you're not there yet, start saying those things to yourself.

00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.120
I'm healthy, I'm wise, I'm a next level thinker.

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:42.799
I live in kingdom ways.

00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.480
I don't think the way the world thinks.

00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.799
I'm not going to believe the enemy's lies anymore.

00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.000
One of those lies is that these foods are more expensive.

00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:50.879
Well, they're just not.

00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:52.399
And we're just putting that to rest right now.

00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:58.799
I'm going to do basically like a lightning round with Jared, but I'm not going to do it for 30 minutes like we did for Christwork.

00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:08.399
But I just want to ask you, what pops to mind when, because you do a lot of our grocery shopping, he usually has a list, but what pops to mind is something that I always have on the list.

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:10.960
One thing that is always in our grocery cart.

00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:12.159
Cabbage.

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:13.200
Ooh, that's a good one.

00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:17.200
Cabbage is frequently on the and I'll tell you, what else?

00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:18.240
What family is that?

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.679
That would be the cruciferous.

00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:20.960
So you're two for two.

00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:26.559
Yes, the very next thing that pops on my mind or pops in my mind is broccoli.

00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:26.879
Oh.

00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:28.320
We have that one regularly.

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.919
And what's the other one that is my absolute favorite in the cruciferous family?

00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:32.960
Cauliflower.

00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:33.919
Cauliflower.

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:34.960
Ding, ding, ding.

00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:36.720
You're three for three, dude.

00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.080
You're winning the game.

00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:41.039
Well, you know, I don't do a lot of eating only.

00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.519
I do do, as you said, a lot of shopping as well.

00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:44.720
Did you just say do do?

00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:45.600
I did.

00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:48.240
I'm sorry.

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:51.360
That's funny to a three-year-old and it's funny to a 50-year-old.

00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:52.159
I don't know why.

00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.120
Okay, so here we have the cruciferous family.

00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.679
Why is a cruciferous family so important?

00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:59.360
It's very healthy for you.

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.639
It's very healthy for you, but it's one of the top cancer fibers.

00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:04.000
Do you remember what it has in it?

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:10.960
It has sulforophane, which helps fight cancer, but it can also help fight off certain bacteria.

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:17.360
Bacteria known to cause ulcers in the stomach, which can then also lead to stomach cancer potentially.

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:18.000
Wow.

00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.519
Okay, so y'all, do you see what happens when we do the lightning round?

00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:22.639
People start dropping the gold.

00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:23.840
Jared's doing it right now.

00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:24.639
Okay, he's doing it.

00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:26.639
He had no idea I was going to ask him this stuff.

00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:36.240
So cruciferous should always, always, always be in your grocery cart because it is always in ours and it has turned our lives around.

00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:38.799
I know you probably don't know how to use it all right now.

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:45.600
You probably know how to make one or two things like broccoli casserole with Campbell's cream of chicken soup in there or cream of mushroom soup.

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.559
I can show you how to make those types of soups.

00:12:48.720 --> 00:13:01.679
Make them creamy, make the cat same casserole as you like, taste the same, takes you about the same time, maybe even less, and you are not going to have a food hangover afterwards, nor the diagnosis that goes with it.

00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.320
A lot of these recipes are so easy.

00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:08.559
Now, even though I'm not cooking, I do watch and I do see and read our recipes.

00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.679
So they're extremely easy, but you know what goes in it.

00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:18.320
Someone's none of these quote unquote natural flavors or someone's talking his way into the kitchen right now.

00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.600
I'm just gonna say, I'm just saying, like you're talking away in the kitchen.

00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:22.559
It's so easy.

00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.679
It is so easy.

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.200
You could totally do it.

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.639
When you are called on to do things like that, you can totally do it.

00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.320
And it's not like you don't ever make meals.

00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:31.519
I mean, you make your own meals.

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.159
A lot of times we'll cook a piece here, a piece there.

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.600
Well, it's not like I never contribute in the kitchen.

00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.960
I mean, I do do some dishes and I do go.

00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:46.799
Well, there is you know, this little way of living, it creates a healthy colon.

00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.679
So we'll just we'll make the association there.

00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:50.480
Is it right?

00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.200
I do some things in the kitchen.

00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.159
It's just not as much cooking per se.

00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.840
But back to the point, when you make it, you know exactly what's in it.

00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:01.039
You don't have to worry about it.

00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:07.120
You don't have to worry about any hidden chemicals because they do play games with the ingredients list.

00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:08.559
They just do.

00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.600
Okay, what else is always in your cart?

00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.840
I'm not gonna stop now because that was really good.

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.159
So that was one out of 13.

00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:16.879
So that's it.

00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:18.159
I don't know, that was three, wasn't it?

00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:19.519
Cauliflower broccoli.

00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:21.200
I'm giving them I'm giving you bonuses.

00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:22.399
Do you understand what I'm doing right now?

00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:24.080
These are bonuses.

00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.320
No, those all went under cruciferous.

00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.519
So I listed cruciferous as always in my cart because I wanted to give it a couple of cards.

00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:31.200
So we had some subcategories there.

00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.600
Okay, cruciferous, which also includes kale.

00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:34.080
Kale.

00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:35.519
Cruciferous includes kale.

00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:40.960
Yes, but the ones that are in our cart most often, we buy kale, we buy Brussels sprouts, we buy all those things.

00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:44.080
You need to learn what the cruciferous family is and eat it a lot.

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:46.080
Broccoli sprouts, all those things.

00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:54.320
But the main ones we generally buy are that are always in our cart: broccoli, cauliflower, and red cabbage by the colors.

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.200
What's the next one?

00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:56.159
What's the next category?

00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:57.440
Okay, so item.

00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:59.200
It could be any, it could be any, just produce.

00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:00.159
It's gotta be produced.

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:01.600
Produce, item.

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.360
Well, I know we get bananas.

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.519
Oh, I didn't even put those on here.

00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:07.200
We do buy a lot of bananas.

00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.600
Okay, is there anything I can put that under?

00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.039
No, I did not.

00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:12.720
He gave you a bonus category.

00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:14.960
We'll call that our bonus category.

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.559
But what do we do with the bananas?

00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:27.440
Well, sometimes we eat them, but we buy a lot of them so that they go ripe, and then we freeze them once they're a little overripe, and then we freeze them to make banana and ice cream out of them.

00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:28.240
I disagree.

00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.399
Okay, the kids freeze them with their own.

00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:32.720
Okay, well, the kids freeze them, and yes.

00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:34.799
I don't like them overripe.

00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:45.200
So if you've ever tried banana and ice cream and you didn't like it because they tasted too ripe in it, if you will just make it when they're a little bit on the greenish side, it is so much better.

00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:46.799
I like it so much better.

00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:49.279
The banana flavor doesn't come through as much.

00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:58.399
And then you can add other things like I like to drizzle nut or seed butter sometimes, just a little bit over the top, or put fresh nuts like pecans, things like that.

00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:04.559
I mean, this really is enough food and what we make episode, but it's kind of turning into what's in our cart and what we eat in a day.

00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.919
Because I want you to have an idea of how we use some of these things, like the cauliflower.

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:09.919
I love cauliflower tacos, it's amazing.

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:11.279
But yeah, bananas are a good one.

00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:18.720
So that's gonna be a bonus because we freeze those to make the ice cream and it is divine all times of the year.

00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:23.200
Plus, we throw them in our smoothies too, which is really good, or make smoothie bowls, things like that.

00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:25.919
All right, next would be potatoes.

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:27.360
We use a lot of potatoes.

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.039
That is a definite staple.

00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:29.840
So good.

00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:31.200
What kind of potatoes?

00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:34.639
We do russet, we do gold, but we also do sweet potatoes.

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:40.159
So you have the traditional one where it's orange, but we do purple sweet potatoes, white sweet potatoes.

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.840
Each of them have a little bit different flavor, a little different consistency.

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.600
So it's nice to vary it up, plus you're getting some nutrient variety there.

00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:50.559
You're making me so happy right now because I am a.

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:51.840
Can you fill in the blank?

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.080
Be careful, be very careful.

00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.080
Well, I was thinking Southern girl.

00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:57.039
Southern girl.

00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.360
Yeah, but you're a southern boy and you like rice.

00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:01.600
Country girl, southern country girl.

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:02.480
Okay, that could work.

00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.559
I was thinking of potato girl, but I'll take.

00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:05.680
Well, that was too easy.

00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:11.599
And potato potato, not potato, potato, being from Northwest Georgia.

00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:12.640
That's how we talk.

00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.519
Yes, potatoes are one of my all-time favorites.

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:16.640
Absolutely love those.

00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:18.160
Grain bowls, fries.

00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:20.720
Yes, we still eat fries and without any oil in.

00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:21.519
Are they crispy?

00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:22.319
Oh, yes, they are.

00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.160
We can show you exactly how to make those.

00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.599
We show our members how to make things like potato chips with no oil.

00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:30.000
You would not believe it will blow your mind.

00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:31.519
There's so many amazing things.

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:33.839
Different potato casseroles that we show how to make.

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:38.319
And it's funny because these things seem impossible or they seem difficult until you know how.

00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:41.359
Once you know how, you think, oh my goodness, this is so easy.

00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.119
How did I not know about this before?

00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:50.799
The literal problem that you will have after you work with us and while you're working with us is that you're going to grow your favorites list.

00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:51.759
Not a problem.

00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.480
It's not really a problem, but it's the problem you're gonna have.

00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:58.240
You're gonna feel like you don't have enough time to be able to try all the different new foods that you want to.

00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:06.799
That's exactly the reality of what we see happen every single day inside Accelerator and our alumni membership with the graduates.

00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:12.880
You know, we just had a couple of graduates say the reality of my life now is I have so many things I want to try.

00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:16.799
I never dreamed I'd be eating this many things.

00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:20.559
I never dreamed it was even possible when I ate the other way.

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.640
But something happens when you learn this method and you learn this system.

00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:31.920
All of a sudden, all these opportunities open up for you in what to eat, how to prepare it, and how quickly you can get it on the table.

00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:34.400
It is going to blow your mind.

00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:41.759
Okay, so we have the cruciferous, the mighty potatoes, and we could go with your favorite, which is being from Baton Rouge.

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.599
I do fancy me some rice.

00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.440
Yes, and so that's whole grains.

00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:47.920
What other whole grains are typically in our cart?

00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:49.279
That would be brown rice.

00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:50.880
Brown rice, sometimes black rice.

00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:52.880
And we buy that in bulk.

00:18:52.960 --> 00:19:02.319
So that one wasn't necessarily on my radar, just because it's not typically on my shopping list, but because we found it in bulk, there are six of us, and we do eat a lot.

00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:08.400
We do find that being able to buy it online and have it shipped to us in bulk a little more cost effective.

00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.240
I want you to wrap your mind around the other problem that we have now.

00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:14.880
Y'all gotta think, you gotta have a mindset shift.

00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:19.039
Like again, this is the pro level, this is a next level thinking.

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.640
Leaders think this way.

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:23.039
They think, yes, we eat a lot.

00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:24.480
That's what Jared just said.

00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:28.400
He said, we have it shipped in bulk because we eat a lot.

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.079
No, we're not counting calories.

00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.440
No, we're not hangry.

00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:33.759
No, we're not feeling deprived ever.

00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.160
No, we're not eating portions so small they would make a bird cry.

00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:39.440
No, we are not.

00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:48.400
That is not a way to live because while it could get you some results on the outside, on the inside, you could still be sick depending on how you're eating.

00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.519
The other problem is those methods never work.

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:53.680
You were never meant to live that way.

00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:55.920
You have to get freed from those things.

00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.680
And once you do, you will start being able to buy.

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.319
Larger portions of things that literally cost less money, right?

00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:05.920
Because you're buying in bulk.

00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:09.359
And so when you have those things, you're making them, you're eating more.

00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:10.160
You're eating more.

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:16.079
Our metabolism hasn't, I mean, we could say, oh, we're older and our metabolism's slower, so we need to eat smaller portions.

00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:27.279
We'd have to say that if we ate the sad way, the standard American diet way, but we don't have to say that because we eat the lowest calorie dense foods by nature.

00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:28.400
I want to say that again.

00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:32.319
Whole plant foods are the lowest calorie dense foods by nature.

00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:35.440
That is what we are filling our plates and bowls with.

00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:39.920
We're not eating skimpy portions to try to maintain a waistline.

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:41.599
We don't have to.

00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:53.279
These are the foods that power you well, but not only that, being the lowest calorie foods on the planet, you can eat more of them and still lose and maintain your weight.

00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:57.440
So you don't even have to think about dieting when you learn the accelerator system.

00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.480
Potatoes, all varieties, all colors.

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.000
Learn the new ways to use them.

00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:04.880
Get the recipes in our cookbooks that we mentioned before.

00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:08.240
Get the food formulas where you don't even need a recipe.

00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.400
That's another thing we share inside the program.

00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.519
What do you eat when you don't even have time for a recipe?

00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:18.880
These are the unrecipes, the upgrades that you pull together when you don't even have time for a recipe.

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.559
Stuff you can just throw together in a bowl and have a meal in minutes.

00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:23.920
Next item in our list.

00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:24.960
