A lot of people have heard of a customized nutrition program from Code Red, but not everyone knows how it works. Since a customized program is the fastest way to get your weight off with Code Red, I've dedicated this week's podcast episode to pulling back the curtain and showing you what a custom program (now called a Home Study nutrition program) is and how it helps you lose weight faster. If you've ever wondered about a customized program (or you haven't heard of it and want to get the full scoop), check out this episode for all the details! ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Get your bluelight blockers from Swanwick, just head over to coderedlifestyle.com/swannies rebel15 for 15% off ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

This episode is about expecting a miracle when you're not willing to do your part to get it. John Chapter 5 in the Bible illustrates this perfectly. People believed that once a year an angel came down to stir the waters in the Pool of Bethesda, and the first person to touch the stirred water was healed. A paralyzed man had been there for thirty-eight years trying to get into the pool. Jesus came to help him, but interestingly, he didn't heal the man right away. Instead, he first asked him if he wanted to be healed...and instead of just saying yes, the guy whined and felt sorry for himself because nobody would put him in the pool. I see a version of this when I ask people if they want to lose the weight. Many tell me, "Yes, BUT..." and rattle off excuses about why they can't, kinda like the paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda did. Until that man was willing to quit focusing on his excuses, he couldn't be helped, and it's the same for us. If we want our excuses more than our results, we won't get our results. To be clear, I'm not saying you shouldn't pray. Yes, pray about everything...AND do your part to make it happen cap'n. Joyce Meyer says you can't do God's part and God won't do your part. For clarity on how to know when it's time to do your part, check out this episode! ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Get your bluelight blockers from Swanwick, just head over to coderedlifestyle.com/swannies rebel15 for 15% off ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

The Book of Exodus in the Bible tells the story of how God used Moses to free the Israelites from centuries of enslavement in Egypt. Egypt's ruler, Pharaoh, refused to let God's people go, so God sent plagues into Egypt. The second of those plagues was frogs. EVERYWHERE. Frogs in their houses, in their bedrooms, in their beds, in their servant's houses, and even ON the Egyptians and their servants! Can you imagine? (I can't imagine touching one frog, much less having wall-to-wall frogs in my house, in my bed, and hopping all over me!) But this is the part of the story that always gets me. When Moses went to Pharaoh and asked him when he should remove the frogs, you know what Pharaoh said? "Tomorrow." Uh…what??? WHY would Pharaoh want his people to spend even one more night with the frogs? It seems weird, but how often in life do we wait around in rotten situations, like Pharaoh did with the frogs, instead of starting NOW? If you still haven't taken your life back with Code Red...or you're figuratively "sleeping with the frogs" in some other part of your life... Listen to this episode for help putting an end to "sleeping with the frogs." ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Get your bluelight blockers from Swanwick, just head over to coderedlifestyle.com/swannies rebel15 for 15% off ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

Almost every day, I hear someone say something that just isn't true: "Weight loss is all mental." If weight loss was ALL mental, you could sit around and think your way to goal weight (without having to address what you're doing that's causing your weight problem in the first place). Does mindset have a place? Oh, absolutely! The right mindset makes everything easier. But weight loss is not "all" mental. That's like saying getting your car out of the garage and into the grocery store parking lot is ALL mental. Unless you're telekinetic, no, it isn't! 😂 In this episode, I'm debunking the myth that weight loss is "all mental." If you struggle with mindset while losing weight, tune in, because what I have to say will help. If you don't struggle with mindset while losing weight, also tune in and see if what I say in this episode is why you don't struggle with mindset. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

It was 2016, and I was sitting across the table from a lady who'd put on some weight. I didn't say a word about her weight, but she knew what I did and opened up to me. I asked if she'd thought about doing a custom program with me. "Look, I know what to do," she said. Andrea Dell, my Director of Coaching and a Code Red Certified Coach, heard a speaker at a summit in 2019 point out that just because you learn something doesn't mean you can LIVE it. We're SO conditioned to think that learning something is enough to be able to DO it. If your goal is to memorize information so you can pass a test or win on Jeopardy, then yeah, learning is enough. But if you want to transform, just learning what to do won't cut it. People get caught in this cycle of thinking that all their problems will be solved if they just find the right "new information." To hear why that kind of thinking is destroying your ability to get and keep the transformation you want--like losing weight and keeping it off--join me and Andrea for this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

Can you imagine losing over 200 pounds? Lory doesn’t need to imagine it, because a year and a half ago she weighed 355 pounds. She vividly remembers how often she traveled at that size and the challenges that came with it, like slogging through airports drenched in sweat... Like making sure she wasn't bumping into people as she boarded and got off the plane... Like hoping she wasn't seated next to someone who was as big as she was, because they’d be "spilling over" onto each other. (That did happen a few times, and it was super uncomfortable.) The armrests cut into her thighs and she wanted to leave them up, but didn't because she didn't think it wasn’t fair to the other passengers. She got tired of asking for the seat belt extender, so ordered her own off Amazon. At work conferences, she'd sit all day in seats that didn’t fit and bit into her legs, so she'd always try to find the widest chair possible. Travel anxieties like these are just a fraction of the extreme hardships Lory found relief from after losing over 200 pounds with real food, water, and sleep on the Code Red Lifestyle™.

I get these questions all the time: "Cristy, what supplements do you offer?" and "Which supplements should I take?" In this week's episode, Cari and I sit down to talk you through which supplements Code Red currently offers and what they do for you. If you've ever looked at Code Red supplements and been curious, but unsure which ones to take (or what they do), then tune into this week's podcast and get a full breakdown. Code Red supplements are safe and absorbable because they're made with bioavailable components. There’s no junk, no crazy pharmaceuticals, and no addictive drugs. If you’re getting crap multivitamins from big box stores you’re getting little to no benefit from them. (You may as well eat your money and poop that out.) You're also getting all the fillers and additives, which can inflame your body. Pretty backwards thing to have happen with a nutritional supplement that's supposed to HELP your body. If you decide Code Red supplements aren't for you, that's fine. But before you decide either way (or if you're just curious), tune into this episode and get the details on which supplements I offer and what each one does, so you have all the information you need to make a decision that's right for YOU. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

This podcast episode is about why success is next to impossible without enough skin in the game. People message me all the time and say, "I bought a Home Study program for my nephew, and he never even did it," or "I bought a Home Study program for my mom, and she never lost any weight with it." This is sad, but it doesn't surprise me at all, because I’ve NEVER seen anybody succeed when they don't have skin in the game. Meaning, they’re not going to value something they get for free because people do not value free (especially if someone else forces it on them, even with good intentions). It's the same if you buy something for your kids vs. if you make them purchase part of it themselves. If they help buy it, they will appreciate it more. (Same deal with their time. If they help choose and cook breakfast, they'll be more invested in eating it.) It's not about the money (or even the time) itself. It’s about the fact that most people aren't invested enough if they don't trade something of value to them in order to get a result they say they want. Some people do pay and STILL won't work the program. For example, people buy online courses or a book, then don’t take the course, won’t watch the videos, and won’t read the book...all because it’s not worth their time to finish it. They just don't have ENOUGH skin in the game. I can’t even wrap my head around instant or easy success. Any success I have sure as heck wasn't instant. I paid for it with blood, sweat, and tears. I’ve got a documentary coming out, and Lord knows most people who see it will say I’m an overnight success. Nope. It’s taken me 25 years to become an “overnight” success. Code Red is the easiest hard out there, but people on our program have had to cry at times and say no to the chili feeds and bake sales. They’ve had to measure their food, spend Sundays getting their chicken cooked, and take their water bottle wherever they go. The gimmicky quick fix is appealing. I get it. AND nobody's gonna hand your success to you. Even if they did, then without skin in the game, you wouldn't value it, so you wouldn't be satisfied with it. "Well, you don't know me, Cristy." Maybe not, but I know human nature, and without skin the game, we don't value what we have (or what we COULD have if we'd just do our part to get it). If you've been avoiding "having" to put skin in the game with Code Red - or in ANY area of your life - then tune into this episode to help you understand how and why you're not actually protecting yourself by avoiding that investment of time/and or money. (The opposite - you're hurting your ability to succeed, BIG TIME.) ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

In this episode we’re talking about yo-yo dieting. My mom said something funny but true about losing weight: The more you yo-yo, the harder the "yo" gets. In other words, the more your weight bounces up, the harder it is to get it back down. I'm not trying to discourage you if you've fallen off the wagon. I get it and Code Red is here for you! What I'm saying is that yo-yoing brings physical and psychological problems that get worse the more you do it. To be clear, that doesn't mean all hope is lost. It DOES mean that you can make things easier on yourself by stopping the yo-yo NOW. In this episode I'll dive into yo-yoing and how you can put a stop to it. Some of what I say is gonna surprise you. (The Cristy of six years ago would NEVER have said it!) Tune in and get motivated to end the yo-yo! ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

This episode is probably gonna ruffle some feathers, and in true Cristy form, I'm leaning into it! Here's the deal. We all wanna hit the pause button on life sometimes. The problem with that is, in life you're always moving in one direction or another, even when it "feels like" you're pausing. For example, people wanna pause their fitness routine (if you’re into that) or their healthy eating over the holidays. They wanna pause walking their dog twice a day, or pause posting on social media to grow their business. What they don't realize is that they aren't "pausing" anything. Instead, they've pivoted from moving toward something to moving away from it. It really begs the question: Why does pausing something we know is important come so easily, while staying in momentum feels like a grind...and why is the urge to pause much worse during the holidays? That's exactly what I'm gonna cover in this episode. If you're struggling to stay committed to something, or just want momentum to build on your commitment, tune in to understand why something "harmless" like hitting the pause button on what's important is a disaster waiting to happen. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

Most people want change without having to change. The thing is, change is inevitable. You can wait around for it to strike in the form of disaster, or you can design it yourself and have some control over it. Training a dog is a great example of this. A trained dog is easier to control than an untrained dog. The catch is, you've gotta design how you want your dog to behave, and then train it to meet that design. You can also leave your dog to its own devices...it'll do what dogs do...and it'll probably turn into a "disaster" of a dog. Same with anything in your life. Your relationships, your finances, your health, how you spend your time... You can either design it into what you want it to be...or you can wait around for it to turn into a disaster. And while you can't control every little thing that happens, I guarantee you have more impact on your own life (and health) than you think. So for tips on how to design what you desire (instead of suffer with disasters), tune into this episode. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG
