I have been reading labels and eat mostly organic foods, fresh fruits , vegetables, no red meat, no concentrated sweets meaning no desserts unless I baked it, and I’m exercising several days a week I have lost 10 lbs . It has been about 7 weeks since I really started caring about what I eat. My cholesterol and glucose were way elevated so I am hoping next blood work checkup will be a big improvement! I feel a thousand times better! Thank you for being so inspiring because I really think you have very good advice! I never knew about ingredients until I started watching your videos! This has changed my life and how I eat! I’m 62 and it’s never too late to get healthy! And yes I’m a regular on thrive market !

@Raining Glass I’ve actually increased the miles I walk now . And although it seems like it’s taking forever to loose more weight I feel great! I can really get a good clip going! I’ll keep at it ! The plus is I’ve been loosing lots of inches! 🤩

[@AP85805]

Be careful if you dont eat red meat. Very hard to lose any weight if you become anemic. Other sources of iron from foods other then red meat (heme iron) don't give you very much. I had this happen to me.

Bobby, can you comment on the organic vegan shortening by Nutiva on Thrive Market? I see so many recipes using that for paleo baking. It says red palm oil, which I know you say is the only good palm oil, and it says it is non-hydrogenated. That all sounds good, but my main question is the first ingredient: Palm Fruit Oil. I am not sure if that is another word for bad palm oil or if it is okay. Thank you in advance!!

Bobby isn’t walking around with a mask because he chooses not to. He also has something called an immune system. When you choose healthy living, eat immune boosting foods, and exercise, why would you walk around everywhere scared of getting sick?

True whether vaccinated or not you still need to wear a mask and distance yourself!
