I weighed more than 200 pounds. Like many people, the weight slipped. I usually wore shirts and pants that were too big because I had something tight on me. From the beginning, my goal was to get the best form of my life at age 42. TFLC has been a tremendous change for me, for the better. Of course, it is obvious, my weight loss - I now weigh 167 pounds, loss of body fat and an overall increase in physical endurance. I just finished a 700-mile bike ride over 8 days that would not have been possible in the past! Fitness expert and nutritionist Shawn Stevenson and author of The Fat Loss Code ebook and video program joined us to talk about how to lose weight in a way that supports your body.
As you can imagine I get sent products all the time to try out and test and I really take a long hard look at them before we promote them to our listeners. I will not compromise your trust of us by promoting just anything. Having met with Shawn in person a while back Kate and I got to know him personally. I could tell right away that his entire mission in life is to help people. I love meeting people like that.
After having gone through The Fat Loss Code I have to say I was VERY impressed with all the information. Shawn really knows his stuff and talk a lot about things you’ll never hear about online or in the mainstream media.
I often wonder when I’ve watched shows like Celebrity Fit Club and The Biggest Loser about how basic they are. They don’t talk at all about organ health, thyroid health, liver health, hormone levels or anything. They completely ignore xenoestrogens (which can cause weight gain, and some think even cancer) or exposures to chemicals and how to rid the body of these things so that our hormone levels work right which in turn creates a faster metabolism.
You can’t expect to lose weight with organs that don’t work properly. On the other hand, I guess you could if you work out hard enough and have good looking trainers scream and yell at you to create “made for tv” drama.
It’s all backward in our society with just about everything. So when I saw Shawn Stevenson’s Fat Loss Code Problem focusing on training and education about how the different body systems work, I was really happy to see that. It’s pretty entertaining also.
During the show we talked about the liver and how having a properly functioning liver can help aid in fat loss tremendously. Most people overlook that. We also spoke about his story of having degenerative disc disease (he had the discs of an 80-year-old man!) and how he overcame that with diet and targeted nutrition.
Another interesting topic we spoke briefly about was this idea of having a “story”. You see everybody has a story as to why they are where they are in life. But once we realize that it’s just a ‘story’ and it’s not in fact ‘us’ then we can move beyond that and start living life the way we want to.
Shawn Stevenson is really a great guy doing amazing work helping lots and lots of people. If you think you resonate with what he has to say in this interview you might want to check out what he has to offer in The Fat Loss Code.
