I Lost 50 Pounds in One Year Here's How

[@tammypoling9618]

Awsome, ive lost 60,good for you both

[@andir7854]

I must treat sugar as a street drug- I must stay away completely. I replace with artificial sweeteners and natural sweeteners. Also I cut out gluten/corn/rice/potatoes. The Lord showed me that I have to abstain from sugar completely, yet other people can have it in moderation and are fine. Praise God you are finding answers that help you both.

[@WeeLee64]

100% this! It really is an addictive toxic drug. I finally learned and understand that you can't do addiction in moderation.

[@RosalindHack]

Looks great

[@sharonmckee2403]

Congrats! It’s hard to stay committed. But it’s worth the payoff!

[@kathysnavely1802]

Congratulations! You guys are doing great!

[@debbiehoule8338]

Woo hoo!! I am so proud if you Brad and Christa!!! keep it up!!!!

[@ruthgail]

congrats brad on the weight loss

[@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY]

Thanks for the wisdom and encouragement Brad and Christa❣️

[@roxannern9393]

Great idea! I'm easily bored so, I watch Hazel while walking on the treadmill.

[@carriedavis1424]

Congrats YouAll! Sugar is the devil 👿, I too fight the craving!!

[@WeeLee64]

That's great! Good for you! I started carnivore 4 months ago, down 35 pounds, arthritis in knees and hips is gone, and I haven't felt this good in 20 years. That sugar is a killer for sure!

[@lorrainebailey4267]

Good for you!

[@juliannrowland6552]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm so happy for ya'll !! Ya'll look great.

[@tamarasalyer257]

So happy for you both!

[@lindajackson9537]

Reading ingredients and choosing the ones closest to nature helped me get healthier.

[@wilbback8589]

Ladies lose much slower, so I wouldn't expect Christa to be on par with your loss Brad. Kudos to both of you for taking good care of yourselves. When I learned how hard that sugar is on the liver, it upped my sugar game. If you are flatulating a lot, that's one way your body is telling you, too much sugar. We must remember that white foods like pasta and bread, turn to sugar in the body, I concur. I like the stevia, my son hates it! I was surprised to learn the list of things that cause inflamation. Cutting out tomatoes was soooo hard for me. Coffee? Down to 2 cups max but would love to quit it altogether. I know how inflamatory coffee is. The 80 / 20 rule works for me too. You are an inspiration... (Sometimes when we think we are hungry, it is the body asking for water.)

[@superchatcat658]

I thought coffee was good for cancer prevention.

[@vickieraburn888]

Love you guys! So down to earth!

[@elcirarussomano7746]

Great, folks!! Congrats!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@eileenpalumbo6578]

Way to go guys!

[@susanday3478]

Intermittent fasting has improved my health immensely.

[@taylormade9693]

Congratulations on your weight loss. I have been on a low carb program. That works for me. I have shed approximately 70 pounds. I also try to practice the intermittent fasting. I do need to exercise more. Thank you for sharing! Keep up the good work! I understand the sugar cravings. Cutting out fast foods helps a lot. Challenging but helpful Blessings

[@SA-yu5oi]

Good for you both!

[@pastorwife]

Congratulations on the weight loss. People dont realize you can be addicted to sugar. I am sugar addict too cut out a lot of it. I can use natural sweetener like honey and maple syrup for sweeting. Thanks for talking about this. Congratulations again to you both.

[@j.s.korenic007]

Congratulations you guys on your weight loss. I cut sugar out of my coffee and I don't miss it. I drank more water and cut down how much I drank and swapped coffee for herbal tea. I found my body can't process stevia or other fake sugars. My liver function tests go off the chart if I have diet shakes that have xylatol or stevia to sweeten them. I carb cycle so I eat bread and pasta one day, and not the next and I find I don't have sugar cravings any more. I eat more meat and love baked vegetables 🤤 I hate the word diet. My hips hear that word and I swear they grow 😂 Keep moving and being active. Gentle walks, dance, chair workouts are fun too. I wish I could say I dropped 50 pounds, but only 12, sticking with it. Keep up the good work you two! You can do it! 💐

[@rhodamabbott8101]

Well done both!

[@jrozi3872]

Idk how you lose weight when your the bread making king and queen 🤔

[@crystal7217]

You both look healthier. I’m proud of you and happy for you kids. I’m glad to know you will be around longer for them. Good work.

[@karrenbrazel8844]

Hey guys… congrats to you both in making this change. Father YeHovah has told me to get strong, fit and healthy…. We are not only need to be spiritually strong, but physically and mentally etc etc Hey Brad…. I make my own stevia powder out of my own plant instead of buying it 😊 Keep fighting strong guys… cheering you on 🎉🙌🏼🙏🏼

[@MomentswithMoniPodcast]

Congratulations! 🎉 so glad you found something that works for you! Been there, done that. Lost more, then cancer and chemo. Gained it all back plus more. Not stopping! Still searching for something that will work for me. I eat lettuce and drink water for a month and still gain. But…Onward!

[@sharonparker2262]

Carbs are bad for me. My grandson always asks why I don't have bread!! So I buy him rolls if they're eating here, and give him the leftovers. ❤❤

[@carmelieandre5747]

Congratulations 🎉You both look great!

[@Leroy100]

I used all brands of organic stevia for 10 years. Daily. Even water with stevia. Then one day out of clear blue skies I started dropping things out of my hands. I eliminated things one by one, and when I eliminated stevia, I immediately felt the difference. It was effecting my nervous system. This was 3 years ago. I think I would have been ok, if I didn’t use it daily. I haven’t followed up on the research of it but I would think it should be recommended not to use daily. Like to much of anything is not good. Now I just use whole fruit when I have a sweet treat craving. Unlike stevia, it has nutritional value. I make sure I don’t overdo it on that! Also, fasting works!

[@kimmyj9617]

That happened to me with turmeric. I was taking it for my arthritis and inflammation and suddenly started having MS like symptoms. I was dropping everything, stumbling, slurring my words now and then. My Nat Path doctor was at a loss so did an extensive food allergy panel lab draw....and low and behold...I was off the chart allergic to turmeric. It only took a week of stopping the supplements and I was no longer having those symptoms. Perhaps you are allergic to stevia. I believe it's in the ragweed family.

[@Leroy100]

@@kimmyj9617 thanks for your experience with Tumeric. I don’t think I”m “allergic” to stevia. I think it was the daily use of it for the long period of time. It was addicting. So I’m fine without it.

[@ChickadeeBird]

@@kimmyj9617is that an allergy or sensitivity? I had tests from a naturepath and also have issues with turmeric dairy, grapes and cow and goat milk/cheese and butternut plus a few other items

[@kimmyj9617]

@@ChickadeeBird I'm not sure. I just know I can't have it. She said for most it's so beneficial...but for me it's poison to my body. :/

[@Rose-jv5jw]

Brad, Pyure also has a maple syrup! Just good to know for fall time!

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

I use a pure stevia powder I get from Amazon. It comes in a brown resealable bag. I am using Alulose, a little erythritol, some xylitol. If you like peanut butter cookies you can take 1 cup peanut butter, 1 egg and 1/2 cup Alulose or other sweetener. Mix it well then I add sugar free semi sweet chips. It will actually turn into a dough like regular dough and bake accordingly. It makes a nice treat.

[@waynebarnhart7294]

Again 😂 .. I've been thru 3 Heart Attacks ❤️ and Cancer Operation !! I gave up ALL Beef and Pork .. I eat Salmon Avocado 🥑EVOO and Vinegar with my salad 😋 and NO Dairy .. I have SoyMilk with my coffee ☕️ .. and lots of Broccoli carrots 🥕 tomatoes 🍅 and celery .. And lots of Berries .. I'm at 165 and feeling much better ☺️

Lovely, down to hearth couple. Great advice.

Looking good Brad and your health can only benefit from it and that's amazing. Also Christa looks so pretty with her greying hair she's going to be one off those women who look young and gorgeous with natural undyed hair

[@marendababcock6104]

Thank you so much for this information. Its not easy I just had surgery Now I found out today Im facing another surgery. Even if I can lloose 10 ponds before the surgery I figure that will be good.

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

If you like sourdough bread go for whole wheat sourdough. This is the one they recommend for diabetics. It may help you even if you aren't diabetic. You still have to use discretion. You guys are looking great.

[@Prep4SurvivingMe]

Bravo! on learning moderation. i 🙃hope to do it one day

[@suzypentland166]

Amen yes this is His temple!!!

[@susant9962]

Congrats! Losing weight is hard. I also suffer from arthritis, not fun. I like monkfruit extract as sweetner, no after taste.

[@ChickadeeBird]

i like it as well but not in coffee

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

I have found that different brands of stevia taste different. I grow stevia and then I can make a sweet water out if that. I have thought of dehydrating that water to see if I can get powder. However it is so sweet that I may not see the powder.

[@margaretgibbs306]

I have lost 55 pounds eating meat that's it

[@glendabrekke5475]

our both looking good

[@TheresaSarvis]

I love your bread recipes 😝😝😝

[@heathermoreland6015]

I am really you glad you broke the weight loss code for yourselves, I need to try harder and get back on the horse as they say. You are inspiring, it also makes sense that it was easier to move after you dropped some weight. I will start by reducing my sugar intake, I know it a problem for me. Thanks for the video update.😊

[@nancyrasmussen2016]

I don't know if You've heard of "the biblical nutritionist" she talks a lot about foods from the bible and what God wants us to eat! She's great to listen and learn from. She has a great story! Good job on looding the weight, I like Stevie a lot tried growing it it's a very finicky plant has to be the right conditions. If you like bread there are substitutes like cottage cheese bread, almond flour has lower carbs than regular flour. Nancy from Nebraska

That's awesome you both look great

[@oldegoatee8450]

What? You're addicted to SUGAR?!! How UNUSUAL! Ha Ha We're ALL addicted to sugar in this country - or just about all. Many have already given it up or cut WAY back.

[@eremoshomestead7406]

Can you do a video on the round dietary thingy you were talking about? I use the stevia from wally world with maltodextrin and like it (appreciate a link to the stuff you talked about), do pretty much the intermittent fasting and lost 10#...but I can't get past that. I walk between 6 and 10k steps daily for my work and that's my only form of exercise cause when I get home I am too stinkin tired to do anything else. I am trying to bring in more veg to my diet and limit bread, pasta and rice to 1x per week. Bread however is kicking my tail end. I don't eat alot mind you but I guess I could switch to flour burito shells...as I understand it those arent much better. It's a struggle everyday no matter what.

[@ChickadeeBird]

how about almond flour

[@jonzecherle1736]

I count 🐔 not calories.

[@LiberLady]

What helped me kick the cravings to the curb was intermittent fasting. I replaced my cravings with meat, fish, chicken, bacon & butter. Another thing that lowers the glucose spike after a meal, eat the bread, starch or pasta last, then walk for 20 min after the meal. If you eat the bread/pasta/starches first, then you will get the glucose spike.

[@shervin6711]

KAL ( brand) sure stevia ( ingredients: stevia, water and glycerin) has a good taste too.. excellent in my pasta sauce! Sometimes I could taste the alcohol in other formulas. I like the dried leaves in hot drinks too.

[@xxswaggerxxgosyeet1307]

I'm very happy & proud of you both. You both look great. It's the little changes that make difference, the will to do it. Drinking water, portions & exercise. 💯 do something, there's alternative or adjusted exercise moves if you can't do the professional form. Thank you both for encouragement💙

[@SusanDaschner]

Great job guys!

[@superchatcat658]

Where do I get the crystallized lemon? Never heard of it. Can you show us?

[@lisamaloof5772]

They sell the packets on Amazon.

[@sonjamccart1269]

When eating for health, you've got to have a diet you can keep for life. It must be sustainable. And long-term supplements is not a good game plan. I am "keto" except all clean (local, or small-farm raised, or organic. I am not Kosher per se) foods, no processed "keto" food. My cheat items are things like a ripe peach from the orchard nearby. I have a high-meat diet with selected veggies to get color on my plate. I do not feel good on strict carnivore. I am experimenting with no sweetener in my coffee, but if I use sweetener, it is raw honey or a small amount of organic cane sugar. I am also incorporating changing to good sleep habits and moving more, more often, and daily routines. And NO seed oils, at all. I use butter, EVOO, ghee, homemade beef tallow, coconut oil etc.

[@selenaneo2164]

Noooooooooooo Brad shouldn’t eat salad I can hear you I can’t see you lol hugs from uk

[@ginamommy]

When I cut out all forms of sigar and focused on eating whole unprocessed foods the weight fell off. I like sweetleaf stevia and whole earth sweetener. Thrive markets stevia is good too. The only other thing that has helped is fasting.

[@miriamscotland3090]

Victorias Keto Kitchen on yt- her GF Keto All Purpose Flour is a cup of cup replacement and it really does taste like the real thing. An entire loaf of bread is super easy to make and I think has 4 carbs. I made her tortillas today to have the keto big mac tortilla wrap. I use allulose. No cravings. Lost 12lbs in a month. You can make cookies, cakes, you name it, its tastes great, not like keto which I did for years 3 years ago. Its not hard. The flour blend is not hard to make. You won't miss the real stuff and its super healthy and filling. She's a preachers wife who controls her epilepsy with keto.

[@flo-llama]

I can vouch for both keto & allulose! The best chocolate mousse I've ever had was made with sugar free chocolate chips & allulose. (Lots of recipes here on youtube)

[@babsblan]

Love her recipes and I'm not exactly keto. In fact I literally just ate a biscuit I made with her flour mix.

[@patience1226]

Sugar is a huge problem

[@jonzecherle1736]

What is a stevia??

[@babsblan]

A plant that can be used as a sweetener.

Carnivore

If you can cut out carbs for 30 days, it is likely you will lose your cravings.
