A successful entrepreneur recently told us, "I just need to get my eating under control."

After nearly five decades in healthcare, we know exactly where that belief comes from. And we know it is a lie straight from the enemy.

You have been set up. The foods you were trusting to fuel your calling have been physically working against your body this entire time. Yes, with even the “clean ones” leaving you hungry, unsatisfied, and blaming yourself for something that was never your fault.

In this episode Jarrod and Anita reveal exactly why your body cannot feel full on certain foods no matter how much you eat, and how whole plant foods can fix that at the root, including how to naturally trigger your own GLP-1 response every single meal. The same response people are paying hundreds of dollars a month in hopes of lasting results, that comes with the side effects nobody warned them about.

God already designed your body to produce what it needs. He already gave you the food to trigger it.

This episode will change how you see your hunger, your body, and your God-given capacity to fully show up for everything He has called you to do.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.839
Trained to believe you have a gluttony problem, you have a willpower problem, you have a discipline problem.

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:07.120
A high-level entrepreneur recently talked about this.

00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.480
His exact words were, I have a discipline problem.

00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:12.720
I gotta get myself under control.

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:14.960
And it's just a lie of the enemy.

00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.440
It's not a willpower, it's not a discipline problem.

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.280
It's a problem with the foods.

00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:22.960
Those foods leave you feeling hungry because they leave your body crying.

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:31.519
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.

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:45.679
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?

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:47.679
It's time to fix the fuel.

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:54.079
You've accomplished a lot in life, so you know you don't have a discipline problem and you're not just getting older.

00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:58.079
Your body needs the strategy that matches your assignment.

00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:08.879
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.

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.439
All while you enjoy every single bite.

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:20.000
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.

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:21.680
You're exactly where you need to be.

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.239
So grab your earbuds and let's maximize your power on plants.

00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:35.359
You are built for massive kingdom impact, but if your body keeps feeling more like a roadblock than a rocket, you are in the right place.

00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:41.200
This is Power on Plants, the podcast where we make increasing your capacity to fully show up.

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:43.439
Simple, enjoyable, and sustainable.

00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.599
I'm Anita Roussel, a nurse and certified integrated nutrition health coach.

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.840
And I'm Jared Roussel, a physician assistant certified in lifestyle medicine.

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.079
And in every episode of Power on Plants, we show you the way to fuel your body.

00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.560
It was designed to thrive on.

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.400
So inflammation fades away and your energy finally comes back.

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.879
Your labs improve and your health struggles start fading away naturally.

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.479
So you can finally have the productivity your God-given dreams require.

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:17.280
No exhausting dieting methods or restriction and no more having to push yourself through surviving the days.

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:29.599
We know there's so much confusing information out there right now about healing your body and not having this simple system that works is keeping you from the kind of business growth, revenue, and kingdom impact you're dreaming of.

00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:35.439
You should not have to manage a growing list of side effects or eat nasty tasting foods in the name of health.

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.719
And you certainly shouldn't have to feel dissatisfied after you've eaten.

00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:50.639
If you find yourself dreaming of a way that you could plug into and finally feel good that's exciting and enjoyable, that's exactly what we do inside Accelerator.

00:02:50.800 --> 00:03:01.919
We walk you through the five-step system that allows your body to fully show up for you so you can have maximum revenue and business growth to fully impact this world for the kingdom.

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.319
You can learn more about it at poweronplants.com forward slash accelerator.

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.759
A moment ago, you were talking about keeping up with your list of symptoms.

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.639
And I had the thought, as a child, when you would ask the child, what do you want to do when you grow up?

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.560
I want to be a policeman, I want to be a nurse, I want to be an astronaut.

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:25.199
I'm pretty sure no child has ever said, I want to keep up with my pills and I want to manage my symptoms.

00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:30.479
I mean, as an eight, nine, 10-year-old, did you ever think, I want to be a managed sick person?

00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.520
No, your dreams were so much larger than that.

00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:38.319
It makes me sick in the pit of my stomach to think about though, that's what we've been reduced to.

00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.080
I'm a managed sick person.

00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.759
So you're going to your healthcare provider, and a lot of times that's what you're being offered.

00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.879
That's what I was being offered when I was at my sickest, at my lowest.

00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:54.639
And we're healthcare professionals and we're going and we're just getting these, we can manage it this way, manage it that way, or we can take care of this problem, no worries.

00:03:54.719 --> 00:04:01.039
And it's always some type of medication or procedure or something that doesn't get to the root cause.

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.400
You've landed in the place where we're about root cause resolution.

00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:09.680
We're getting to the very base of the problem, which is addressing and attacking inflammation.

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.199
We have to get rid of the chronic inflammation, acute inflammation.

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.599
Jared's talked about it recently, is good.

00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:16.319
It's a good thing.

00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.000
Our body part of our healing response.

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:18.319
Right.

00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:19.439
Our body needs to have that.

00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.959
But we were never ever meant to be living every day with our body chronically inflamed.

00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:38.959
So once you can get to that root cause that is rarely ever addressed in the mainstream, what we know and what we see time and time again is these foods, whole plant foods, attack that inflammation at their root, cutting it down, chopping it down.

00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:43.600
So it's no longer effective at holding you back from fully living your God-given dreams.

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:59.680
But what we want to talk about today, and Jared and I were discussing this, why is it that what we often think we're kind of programmed by society to think we have to be restrictive with our foods, that somehow there's not really a way to feel satisfied with what we're eating if we want to get health?

00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:04.959
We're gonna have to in some way restrict either our portions or our calories.

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:12.240
In other words, there's no way if I go on this thing or start doing this thing to heal, that I'm going to be satisfied.

00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:21.839
I'm going to be excited about how I'm eating and how I'm living, that I'm going to feel joy about having a family meal or dining out with those I love and care about.

00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.319
And it just is should be the way.

00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:32.160
I think I'm just smiling, thinking about having joy and excitement in the way that we're living should be the thing that we're experiencing on a regular basis.

00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:41.199
But we've been brainwashed through the media, through marketing, through the gurus that are out there that you have to restrict this or restrict that or restrict this.

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.240
If you don't restrict, there's no way it's possibly gonna work.

00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:48.399
Like there's no way that you could do this that you're gonna enjoy and be excited about.

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.800
So you no longer dream of cheat days.

00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:56.800
You're actually never feeling deprived with the food that's on your plate, with the meals, the snacks, the drinks, and the desserts.

00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:02.160
Yes, I'm saying desserts because we eat desserts and they don't harm us.

00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:08.480
We just have them in the upgraded way that power fuels our body for maximum impact in this world.

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:18.399
What we love helping you do is to break through the mindset that this has to be difficult or that you're never going to feel satisfied if you want to get healthy.

00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.439
You're gonna have to adopt a way of living that you absolutely hate.

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:22.480
That's just not true.

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.920
A way of living that's gonna leave you feeling hungry, it's not true.

00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:36.959
We know the irony in that statement, though, is back in the day when we ate the standard American diet, there were many times whenever I stuffed myself full and I still didn't feel satisfied.

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:43.519
Have you ever gone to a fast food restaurant, ordered something like a whole meal, and thought, you know, I want another one?

00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.600
And you even biggie sized it.

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:46.160
We did it.

00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:47.759
We totally both of us did it.

00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:54.319
I mean, I honestly can go back to that day and feel what it was like and think, I'm just a glutton.

00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:55.759
I just don't have willpower.

00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.279
I need to have more discipline, and all those things are lies.

00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.360
The foods are the setup.

00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:02.560
You are not the problem.

00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:07.120
You've been trained to believe you have a gluttony problem, you have a willpower problem, you have a discipline problem.

00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.319
A high-level entrepreneur recently talked about this.

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.759
His exact words were, I have a discipline problem.

00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.000
I got to get myself under control.

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.240
And it's just a lie of the enemy.

00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.720
It's not a willpower, it's not a discipline problem.

00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.639
It's a problem with the foods.

00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:34.160
Those foods leave you feeling hungry because they leave your body crying out for the nutrients that they never have received and crying out and saying, please stop giving me these things that are causing me problems.

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.879
So again, it's that one-two punch of quit giving me junk.

00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:38.399
Yeah, quit giving me the junk.

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.560
It's a one-two punch of the thing of eating the things you don't even realize it at times.

00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:47.519
We were clean eating, we were eating cage free, organic, all the things that we thought were going to heal our bodies.

00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:49.199
And that's when we hit our sickest.

00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:50.959
That's when we were the worst off.

00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.240
And we made some of those changes to try to feel better and it didn't work.

00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:55.279
It didn't make any difference.

00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.279
We still kept spiraling down.

00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:02.879
But when you're eating the foods, so we're saying to you, whole plant foods are the answer.

00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.959
Now I need a how could I possibly eat rapid food?

00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:06.319
How can I eat salad for the rest of my life?

00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:06.959
Don't worry about that.

00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.199
We're gonna you're gonna eat it and you're gonna love it.

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:10.000
I promise you.

00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.040
But it's not just the salad, you'll love the salads.

00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:20.800
But if you like lasagna pizza, tacos, burgers, shepherd's pie, I'm trying to think of other things that we ate on the regular before.

00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.319
Like I grew up in a barbecue restaurant.

00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:23.120
I love barbecue.

00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:24.240
Casserole.

00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.720
Yes, potato, southern potato salad.

00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:28.639
Barbecue that I grew up on.

00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:42.080
I know how to replicate these things now and we show you how to do the same because when you know how to do that in a way that's super simple with things that aren't weird and don't have a hundred million ingredients, it works with your busy schedule and it powers you.

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:54.240
Most importantly, it powers your body to shift from being your biggest hindrance in your business and your life to finally fully showing up to being your number one energized asset.

00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.000
What is that going to change for you?

00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.440
And what if you could do that in the way that you didn't have to worry about willpower or discipline anymore?

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.120
It was off the table as far as how you eat because these foods are naturally the lowest calorie foods on the planet.

00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:12.480
But more importantly, with this episode, they're the foods that leave you satisfied and feeling hungry.

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.200
Satisfied.

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:24.559
Imagine eating something you love so much and you were so satisfied that even though you wanted more, you wouldn't even think of getting up to go get more because you actually feel full and satisfied.

00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.639
That's the reality of eating this way.

00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.279
You do not have to restrict your calories, you do not have to restrict your portions.

00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.639
Those are man-made ways that leave you exhausted.

00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:36.559
Yeshua said, My yoke is easy.

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:49.440
My burden is like when you get into a way of doing something or fixing a problem that leaves you exhausted, that leaves you unsatisfied, it's never gonna last, that leaves you of dreaming of your next meal before this meal's over.

00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:50.720
It's never gonna last.

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.279
But these foods don't do that to your body.

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:55.600
And you don't have to do that to your body anymore.

00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:56.799
Stop doing that.

00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.320
If dieting methods have not worked before, it's not gonna work now.

00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.200
And it's certainly not gonna work when applied to whole plant foods.

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:11.759
But the beauty is you can drop the dieting methods and never have to pick them up again once you understand how to harness the power of whole plant foods.

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.120
Before we get started into the reasons, I want to leave you with the contrast here.

00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:16.799
I would eat those biggie meals.

00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.399
I would eat two of them burgers, fries, the drinks, and all that.

00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:26.799
My stomach would be absolutely full, but my body was still crying out saying, I'm hungry, feed me.

00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.759
If you follow the whole food plant-based way of eating, that will never happen.

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:38.720
Now I stop eating because I'm no longer hungry and I'm in a situation where I could still eat more, but I don't desire more.

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:39.840
I feel satisfied.

00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:40.399
That's it.

00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:41.840
Because I feel satisfied.

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.120
I don't feel the need to keep stuffing myself until I'm full.

00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:47.759
So, reason number one water.

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:53.919
Whole plant foods have a high, high volume of water, anywhere from 75 to 90%.

00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.159
And water equals volume.

00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:57.919
Now, why is that important, Anita?

00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:02.639
Well, we've talked about this before, how a lot of times you feel hungry because you're thirsty.

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.960
A lot of us are walking around totally dehydrated.

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:06.240
Chronically dehydrated.

00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.679
And these foods by nature just have more water, is what Jared's saying.

00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.679
So you're already getting a lot of water intake just by eating the foods.

00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:20.480
So as you eat them, you're feeling fuller naturally because the volume is filling up in your stomach with the water.

00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.240
It signals I'm full.

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:31.759
Now, on the flip side, when we eat an overly processed diet, especially if it's a lot of dried foods, like I don't know, eating a lot of Doritos or something, has no water in it.

00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:38.159
So now that takes fluid from your body to digest because it takes water to digest your food.

00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.279
But I want to think about this too, because we were, again, clean eating.

00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.039
We weren't eating the Doritos and all the stuff.

00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.320
We had dropped a lot of that.

00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.480
So we were eating the clean, grass-fed beef that we bought from the farm.

00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:49.919
Those foods, steak.

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.720
So you think about steak, you might have been sneaking the demonic.

00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:59.200
No, no, there was a time we were for a short while getting the organic Doritos before we completely cut them out.

00:11:59.440 --> 00:11:59.679
Right.

00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:03.679
But even after we cut them out, I'm thinking, well, thanks for your honesty.

00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:04.720
And then that's true.

00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.440
There was a time where we thought organic Doritos were better.

00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.279
But then when you're at the point, maybe you're not even eating those now, is what I'm trying to say.

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:21.039
So if you're the person who's not eating those, you're just eating the grass-fed beef, you still have to understand that once you've cooked that meat, and even before you cook it, it just by nature does not have the water content.

00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:22.480
You're never gonna do that.

00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:29.519
And these foods, we talked about this on a previous episode, but you think about making beans, and this may go into another reason why you feel satisfied.

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.759
But when you're making beans or things like that, these foods, you buy them and they expand.

00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.919
So it decreases your cost, but it also increases the volume in your stomach.

00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:40.480
So you're buying foods that expand and not shrink.

00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:43.440
You could put a steak on the grill, it hits the grill, it shrinks up.

00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.600
So now the water that was in it is gone.

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:47.120
I'm not telling you to eat raw steak.

00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:48.159
Please don't misunderstand me.

00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.000
Like it's it's not a water-filled food.

00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.000
It's not how we're not saying life-giving food.

00:12:54.240 --> 00:13:00.960
But think about how these are the foods that shrink up and have no life in them and don't have the water capacity or the bulk.

00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:04.399
And then we're gonna go to something else in just a minute, which is the fiber.

00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.759
But one of the things here, we just want you to think about the water content.

00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.279
And now let's move into the fiber.

00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.200
But the water does create volume in your stomach as well as hydration.

00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:22.639
Because sometimes you may be thirsty, but your your brain misinterprets those signals as hunger, and now you're eating more when really you just needed a big glass of water.

00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:23.120
Exactly.

00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.080
But yes, with point number two, the fiber.

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:31.200
Fiber creates fullness because it creates bulk in your stomach and your digestive tract.

00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.279
You have stretch receptors in your stomach.

00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:38.720
So that way, when it gets to a certain volume, it signals the brain, hey, we've got enough food in here now.

00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:50.000
When you eat animal-based foods, highly processed foods, foods that have a lot of oils, a very high calorie content, you can fill up with a lot of calories before you fill your stomach up completely.

00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.720
Whereas with plant-based foods, having the fiber, it's much lower calorie content.

00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.799
And we've talked about the benefits of that previously, even on our last episode, 383.

00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:02.159
But with the fiber, it stays there longer because we don't digest them.

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:08.240
We do digest things like the starches, but there are a lot of fibers that we just don't digest.

00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:13.039
They pass through us now, they become food for the good gut bacteria, and it serves a function.

00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:17.279
But part of that is it creates the bulk, it creates that satisfaction.

00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:25.440
Keeps you from feeling hungry naturally without having to starve yourself or keep up with numbers.

00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:27.840
Think about what your life is going to be like.

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:48.879
If you could drop weight, if you could have inflammation vanish, if you could no longer dream of cheat days, if you could have your diagnosis that are starting to pile up decrease where you could come off some of the meds and the side effects they're causing just by eating these foods that fill you up and leave you feeling satisfied.

00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:50.080
It's a no-brainer.

00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:51.120
It's a beautiful thing.

00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:53.759
That's the life we're living every day.

00:14:53.919 --> 00:15:00.080
And that is why we get on here week after week and share with you so that you can have that also.

00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.240
All right, reason number three.

00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:03.840
This may shock you, Anita.

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:04.480
Are you ready?

00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:05.120
I'm ready.

00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:05.919
Protein.

00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:07.919
Okay, you're gonna light me up just with that one word.

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:09.039
Like it's a trigger word.

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.679
It's a trigger word, and I'm gonna tell you why.

00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.759
Yeah, the sirens are going off.

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:15.279
The flashing lights.

00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.919
Okay, are you old enough to remember Kmart?

00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:19.120
The blue light special.

00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:21.039
Yeah, the lights are going off.

00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:21.600
That's terrible.

00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:22.879
I just dated myself.

00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:27.120
I think I only ever went to Kmart once or twice, but I do remember the blue lights going off.

00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:28.480
The blue light specials.

00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:30.399
Proteins are the blue light special for me.

00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:31.440
They light me up.

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:31.759
Why?

00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:33.919
Because plant foods are filled with them.

00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:41.759
If you eat only whole plant foods 100%, you're going to get more than two times the protein that your body requires to fully fuel you.

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:49.519
The protein scare, the protein fear, the protein trauma that you have received in your life is a setup.

00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.399
It is a setup that is keeping you stuck.

00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:58.720
This mindset has to drop off right now that we need a protein combine or we're not going to get enough protein on whole plant foods.

00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:00.799
All plant foods have protein.

00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:05.840
Even the lingo at the restaurants are setting you up.

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:06.960
Think about it.

00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.559
Would you like a protein with that?

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.720
It's like, no, I my whole plate's already filled with protein because it's filled with whole plant foods.

00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:13.200
Thank you.

00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:13.440
Yeah.

00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:13.919
I'm good.

00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:17.120
It's filled with whole, you mean protein with my protein?

00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:17.840
No, thank you.

00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:18.320
I'm good.

00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.080
I have over two times more.

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:29.519
But what we find in our society is that because people are believing the lie and they're stuck in it, it's keeping them from number one, eating the foods that they actually need.

00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:29.919
Hmm.

00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:31.200
Who might be behind that?

00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:31.840
I wonder.

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:37.200
And then number two, it's causing fear that you're not going to get enough no matter how you eat.

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:44.879
And number three, it's keeping you from being fully satisfied because it's keeping you away from the foods that are going to have more than enough protein.

00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:50.720
And four, it's causing kidney problems and other problems because there is a protein overfill.

00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.840
There's a protein superabundance and it causes problems.

00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:56.240
When we get too much of a good thing, it's not a good thing.

00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.000
You're going to get the right amount of protein and the right kinds of protein.

00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:01.200
Such a great point.

00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.000
So don't worry about protein.

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:09.440
Whole plant foods have more than enough without even adding plant protein powders.

00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:10.400
A great example.

00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:15.759
One cup of lentils has 18 grams of protein plus 16 grams of fiber.

00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.400
Now, if you had that much steak, you would have no fiber.

00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:25.359
So with just that one food ingredient, you're getting a ton of protein plus fiber, both which your body absolutely must have.

00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:30.160
So for me, my ideal protein intake is 47 grams of protein a day.

00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.799
And you're saying with how many lentils?

00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.759
With one cup of lentils, you get 18 grams.

00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:39.440
So you're a third of the way there with just that one portion.

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:40.799
And maybe I don't want to eat a cup.

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.559
Maybe I eat a half cup of lentils and later on I have a half cup of black beans.

00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.319
And then I add some rice and then I add lettuce and cucumbers.

00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:50.400
And yes, those things have protein.

00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:51.839
They have protein.

00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:53.519
It's not just the beans.

00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:55.680
You don't just have to eat beans.

00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:58.240
Start looking up how much proteins are in these foods.

00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:59.680
It is going to blow your mind.

00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.319
And it is so easy to get what you need.

00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:03.440
We don't even count it.

00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:04.799
We don't even think about counting it.

00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.720
We don't worry about it because God created these foods to have all the things we need.

00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:11.920
So your enemy has you stuck worrying about nine things.

00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:21.359
Protein is one of the main ones when we know that there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of nutrients in these things that haven't even been identified yet or named.

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:25.279
And you're worried about one or two things that which aren't even a real worry or concern.

00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:28.960
And it's causing you stress and it's causing you more health problems.

00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.079
Just see the vicious cycle here and know that you can escape it.

00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:37.680
And these foods make you feel full that you get what you need, but then they make you feel full.

00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.920
It's kind of like worrying about am I going to get enough oxygen when I breathe?

00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:48.240
If I'm just outside breathing air, I'm not up, you know, two, three miles high in the atmosphere.

00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.240
Am I going to get enough oxygen?

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.759
Now, is there a circumstance where you may not get enough protein?

00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:55.680
Sure, if you're not eating enough food.

00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:57.039
I mean, it's pretty rare.

00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:58.079
So, same thing.

00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:05.119
There are circumstances in which I might not get enough oxygen when I'm breathing, if I'm high up on the Himalayan mountains, or if I just stop breathing.

00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:06.720
Or if you just stop breathing.

00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:09.359
But I don't plan on doing either one of those.

00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:10.160
Right.

00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:15.440
So if you if you're not eating enough, enough calories, then yes, you might not get enough protein.

00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:17.119
But that's with any way you're eating.

00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:18.319
Yes, exactly.

00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:20.480
So it's just could it happen?

00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:23.359
Conceivably, yes, but realistically, no.

00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.079
Let's just be honest, it's sabotaging nonsense.

00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:26.400
Exactly.

00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:27.519
I'm just tired of dancing around.

00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:27.920
It is.

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:28.880
It's sabotaging nonsense.

00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:33.599
It would be like me wasting a ton of mental energy.

00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:36.720
Does the air where I live here in Florida have enough oxygen in it?

00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:39.119
Maybe I need to move to Alabama or Texas.

00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.519
Maybe their air has better oxygen over there.

00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:46.720
I mean, it's just it wastes a lot of energy, mental energy that we don't really need to.

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:48.240
It's distracting us.

00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:49.279
Leave it here.

00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:50.960
So protein is filling.

00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:52.559
There's plenty of it in plants.

00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.920
Let's go to the next reason.

00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:56.799
Let's talk about a hot button topic of the day.

00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:57.920
GLP1.

00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:01.279
Oh, there's so much I could say here, but we don't want to take your entire day.

00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.799
We have to just like we got to go straight to the point here.

00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:09.119
So why do whole plant foods make us feel full and satisfied?

00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:16.880
Well, for the reasons we've already mentioned, but with reason number four is it helps to release GLP1 from the gut.

00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:24.079
You're telling me that whole plant foods naturally create GLP1 in the body.

00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:34.799
There are cells in our intestines called L cells, just like the letter L, that in the presence of these foods with the fats and proteins and carbohydrates will release the hormone GLP1.

00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:37.039
Now, why does it matter with it being whole foods?

00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:37.680
Wait a minute.

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:39.920
Did you say and carbohydrates?

00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:40.640
Yes.

00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:42.079
Carbohydrates.

00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:43.759
You did hear me correctly.

00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:44.240
Right.

00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:46.880
The things that we've been told are the devil.

00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:49.119
We just don't eat carbs, avoid carbs, don't eat the carbon.

00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:51.440
But you know, we've been told all of it is the devil.

00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:54.480
I mean, we've gone through low fat, low carbohydrate.

00:20:54.720 --> 00:21:00.400
Um, well, I don't know if low protein has ever been a thing, but we certainly know it's not a thing now.

00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:04.559
But yes, all of those will release GLP1 from the gut.

00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:14.799
But it's the those cells that are at the end of the small intestines, which makes perfect sense because whenever it senses food, it says, hey, Jared, we've got enough here.

00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.480
You can stop eating so much.

00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:18.160
So we're gonna make you less hungry.

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.880
Let us digest what we have here, and then whenever we're ready for some more, we'll let you know.

00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:34.720
So you're telling me that whole plant foods are the exact foods that are known based on solid research to release GLP1 naturally within the body.

00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:36.000
Yes, correct.

00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:44.880
And why the ultra-processed foods don't do that is they break down very quickly, they get absorbed, so those materials don't make their way to the end of the small intestines.

00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:54.720
Now, of course, you've got digested food matter, but with the carbohydrates and the fats and things like that, they get absorbed more quickly and they don't stimulate the release of that hormone.

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:57.839
And that's part of what keeps us hungry all the time.

00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:59.599
But what if I'm not eating highly?

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:00.960
Processed foods.

00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:05.039
I'm eating whole foods, but I'm eating just animal products.

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.519
Or I'm just not eating a lot of whole plant foods.

00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:13.200
Well, the main difference is that animal-based foods are digested very quickly in our digestive tract.

00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:20.400
So our body is able to efficiently break down the cell walls and release the carbohydrates, the fats, the proteins that are within them.

00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:26.640
And so they absorb higher in our small intestines with plants because the cells are encased in fiber.

00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:31.039
There are a lot of cells, even if we chew thoroughly, that may not break down immediately.

00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:39.759
And so they travel through the small intestines, traveling along, they get broken down by the beneficial bacteria in our gut, which is why that is so important.

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.799
So you're saying the animal foods are broken down earlier.

00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:46.640
The small intestine comes before the large intestine in your digestive tract.

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:51.599
By the time the animal foods hit your small intestine, a lot of them are being broken down and already absorbed.

00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:54.559
They don't travel down even to reach the large intestine.

00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:54.960
Right.

00:22:55.039 --> 00:23:01.200
A lot of the fats, the carbohydrates, even the proteins in them, because they're more available quicker, sooner.

00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:17.279
But with plant-based foods, because they're encased, a lot of the cells are encased in fiber, then it takes longer for those to digest because it requires the beneficial bacteria in our gut to break down that fiber, then releasing those components, the carbohydrates, the protein, the fats.

00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:23.119
So now they're present at the end of the small intestines to then signal GLP1 release.

00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:23.759
Yes.

00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:25.519
That is a huge difference.

00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:26.480
Yes, naturally.

00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:28.319
So think about that for a minute.

00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:34.400
The thing that people are paying high dollar for to have to inject hundreds of dollars a month.

00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:44.319
To have to inject themselves regularly, which no one wants to have to do, to potentially get the horrible side effects that come with the synthetic GLP1.

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.759
You're not injecting yourself with natural GLP1.

00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:49.279
It's synthetically made.

00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:59.519
Your body doesn't handle synthetic things the same way, which is why we see these injections increasing inflammation and leading to known causes.

00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:09.920
Please, if you're taking this medication or thinking about it, get out there and start looking up the known problems with it, like gastroparesis that is irreversible.

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:13.359
That means your digestive tract does not move food through.

00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:17.440
It can actually start shutting down and it can become irreversible.

00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:30.000
Another thing that is a known side effect that we're seeing more and more is people having shingles outbreaks, which is tied to the decreased immunity that these injections cause.

00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.680
So your body's trying to fight this stuff off because it's not natural.

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:36.480
It's not natural GLP1 you're putting in your body.

00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:43.359
Some of the differences are that when GLP1 is naturally released in the body, it has a 10-minute half-life.

00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:44.799
All right, Jerry, what does that mean?

00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:50.240
That means 50% of whatever is released at that moment is gone in 10 minutes.

00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:53.519
So after about an hour, all that it's released is gone.

00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:58.720
With the synthetic form, it's not molecularly identical to your GLP1.

00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:00.160
It's an analog.

00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:05.680
It's a molecule that has been created to fit in the lock of the GLP1 receptor.

00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:08.960
Doesn't look like the original key, but it fits in the lock.

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:11.440
That has a half-life of seven days.

00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:16.480
So that means it takes it about five to six weeks for that one injection to be gone.

00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:23.920
So you have something that is not identical to what God created to help you naturally feel satisfied and full when you eat whole plant foods.

00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:29.759
So you have the synthetic form of that coming in and staying in a week longer than it was ever designed to stay, almost.

00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:30.240
Yes.

00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:31.920
And so what is that doing to the body?

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:35.920
I don't think we really know all the things, but we do know some of the very common side effects.

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:44.000
And when you take something, take a moment to read the known side effects because what we don't want to happen to you is no one tell you these things.

00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:46.400
They're known, they're common.

00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:58.960
When you could just be eating more whole plant foods in a way that tastes great, that you love an exciting, enjoyable meal on your plate instead of the extra cost, the injections, and all the side effects.

00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:02.880
