#100 - How to drop up to 2 lbs in a day.

Hi, my name is Jorge Cruise, and I'm the number one New York Times bestselling author and leading fitness, nutrition, and peak performance trainer to the world's busiest celebrities. You may have seen my work with Oprah Winfrey, Khloe Kardashian, Tyra Banks, Kelly Clarkson, or even Dr. Oz. My career started because in my early 20s, I was out of control and addicted to sweets, carbs and salty snacks, and experts told me to simply count calories to get control. They were wrong. My passion to get control of my hunger led me to find simple ways backed by science that would turn off physical hunger as well as my emotional eating instantly, and I know I can help you too. Welcome to the Jorge Cruise Show. Well, happy December 21st. It is Monday. I'm Jorge and welcome to the Jorge Cruise Show. Uh, Christmas is this Friday. I can't even believe it's the holidays. Uh, but happy holidays to everyone listening. Thank you so much for being a part of the show today. Uh, today we're going to be getting down to it. We are really going to talk about how to drop 2 pounds in a day. We're going to talk about how to do that and how to, uh, how to get the best results out of really improving your health because this show has become truly the number one podcast to give you radical control over sugar, carbs, and salty snack foods. And, uh, when you get control over those items, those sugar and carbs, uh, your body responds. You know, when your body isn't in a high insulin kind of environment, uh, your body is able to finally not store and hold on to body fat. And where you could drop 2 pounds in a day becomes reality.. And you know, this has been my life's work and focus for over 25 years. I've been a trainer for just over 25 years and an author, you know, in publishing now for 20 years. Next year is my 20th anniversary. And I'm so excited that you're here because really the podcast has become the evolution of what I used to do in books. And as much as I used to love to write books and I've written over 30 of them, I rather talk. I rather, I rather have a conversation with you and share with you from my, you know, from my my mouth to your ears, I guess, what I think works, because I've been given a bit of a— I hope a gift from God, you know, this ability to talk. And, you know, for me, I talk about something I'm passionate about. I think that's why I've had such a long career in publishing with weight loss and fitness and nutrition. And now with this podcast, you know, and really giving it a place to share with you guys and then the world, really the cutting-edge resources on how to get control, you know, radical control over these things that elude us because 'Cause when you talk about health and wellness, it really comes down to, and this is over 20 years of my focus, not about counting calories, 'cause we've been told, hey, you gotta count calories, you gotta exercise more, all that. It's just calories in, calories out. That is why none of us can lose the weight. That's why over 40, it's been more than 40 years people have been focused in on that rhythm, that formula. And I can tell you, it doesn't work. You can count all the calories, but calories are not created equally. Carbohydrates and sugars are very different. In your body than proteins and fats. And so that's why that doesn't work at weight loss. I completely think, you know, the idea is wonderful. Anyone who endorses calorie counting and point count— point counting, I should say, uh, you know, it's a wonderful effort, it's a great endeavor if there's not a better strategy. But, you know, I've discovered during COVID really how to do this, and it has to do with sodium. And on today's show, we're going to talk about how zero hunger water, which you can make at home with basically half a teaspoon of salt and 32 ounces of water. I mean, that's kind of the recipe. It's kind of basic, but I'm going to give you how to make it so it tastes good, tastes like lemonade, and how to do it without sugar. I'll teach you the method and give you the recipe on today's show. And if you go to the jorgecruzeshow.com site, you're also going to get the show notes, which will have the recipe that you can share on your blog, on your social, and all that with your loved ones. And when you drink this water, you turn off hunger for 2 hours, basically, uh, some people as long as 3 hours, typically 2 hours. And then you just keep drinking it throughout the day. And then you break your fast because you end up fasting. I know this sounds crazy, but remember, 8 hours you're sleeping or so, but you end up fasting for 24 hours. And you do this thing called OMAD, which is an acronym in the nutrition world, stands for one meal a day. And that's how you do this. That's how you drop 2 pounds in a day is understanding how to do that. But The key is, how do you not feel hungry? Well, that's what the water is going to do. And then the second key to turning off hunger— and, and I call this hunger, it's not physical hunger, it's really emotional hunger— and it's really about understanding that all of us are wired emotionally to want to gain pleasure in our life. And if you're, you know, right now in some way suffering to some degree mentally, emotionally, stressed from COVID-19, etc., I'm going to share with you probably the most important phrase of my life, that if you can make an affirmation, a positive self-talk in your life— we're going to do it together— you're going to have a sense of control over your life. Because I strongly believe that life happens for us, not to us. And we'll take that simple phrase and turn it into an affirmation. We'll do it together. And when you combine that with this this simple water recipe, which I know sounds silly, you're going to drop up to 2 pounds in a day. More importantly, over the course of a week— I just finished a 19-day challenge where people were using my method and they dropped, you know, in the first week, many people, 11, 12 pounds. So imagine seeing incredible results week after week where you drop the weight, you feel phenomenal, you have high energy, you end up doing intermittent fasting without even trying because you end up just not being hungry and you have this crazy amazing energy. You drink this water, I'll explain how to drink it, I'll give you the prescription, the recipe, the whole thing. And then you'll, you'll transform your thinking in a way where you go from being maybe in your mind, you know, being a victim to being a victor even during COVID-19. Because as much as the vaccine is coming and it's there, many people have gotten it already, it's going to be a shift. It's going to take a while. There are going to be other obstacles in 2021, and this is the the best way to end 2020, in my opinion, and more importantly, the best strategies to start your new year with. And I'm also gonna invite you to join my next challenge on January 4th. So we got a lot on today's show. Let's do this. Let's give a shout out to our sponsors, and then we'll get into the nitty-gritty on how to lose 2 pounds in a day, because I think that is why you're listening. But let's first give thanks to our sponsors. Number 1, we're brought to you by Elemental Labs. I love Elemental Labs. They are the people that make my favorite drink, which if for some reason on today's show you don't feel like making it yourself, you can go to the URL I'm going to give you today and basically just get this ordered. You get it at home, quick and easy through the mail. They have everything from orange to lime. They have spicy flavors. They have chocolate, which tastes like chocolate milk. And basically imagine this, each Elemental Lab packet, these little packets have 1,000 milligrams of sodium, 200 milligrams of potassium and 60 milligrams of magnesium. None of them have sugar. They're all sweetened with stevia, which is totally fine. And, uh, and then basically you add it to 32 ounces of water and you have the first key to this whole secret on how to drop 2 pounds in a day, you know, and it's sodium because sodium is what we're under on all our diets. So many people have been told you got to avoid sodium. And remember, 1,000 milligrams is about half a teaspoon. A lot of people are like, what the heck, Jorge, I'm gonna die of heart disease. You are not going to die from high blood pressure because you have to pair sodium with carbohydrates or sugar in order to get a rise in blood pressure, and we're not going to be doing that. This is a kind of a keto— I would say it's better than keto because when you add salt to the picture, you end up doing fasting with keto, and you do 24 hours of fasting, you break your fast with the high-fat, high-protein meal. But the way to get there is using Elemental Labs. These packets are wonderful. Now on today's show, I'm going to make this so you don't have to. But if you want to, here's the incentive for the holidays, guys. Rob Wolf, the creator of this, is giving the, um, giving us all a value bundle for listeners exclusively, exclusively of the Jorge Cruise Show, where if you get 3 boxes of his electrolytes, you get the 4th one for free.

And I can have 2 or 3 at once— or not at once, at a night. And that If for some reason you have an ability to overeat at night, this just totally turns it off, and it does it with the most elegance of finesse, chocolate.

I think you're going to love today's show because it's simple. 2 key secrets to losing 2 pounds in a day. Number 1 is turning your cortisol hormone level from a high state to what I would call the ideal baseline. You don't want it to be non-existent, but you don't want it to be high. Most of us are very high in cortisol because we're overeating sugar and carbs and we're stressed. And so what sodium does— 1,000 milligrams, half a teaspoon in 32 ounces of water. The science has shown this. It helps drop that. It helps bring it to a baseline that's healthy. And then what your body does is two things. You turn off hunger when you're at that baseline, when cortisol is at bay, um, and it's at a healthy level rather than a high level. So you don't feel hungry. And two, you are allowed— your body is allowed to literally get, get into this place of autophagy, which is housekeeping. That is going to allow your body to drop 2 pounds in a day. And that's pretty darn powerful. You got, but, but it's a matter of drinking this beverage. And so let me tell you how to make it because the recipe is simple. It's half a teaspoon of salt, 2 pinches of potassium, and 1 pinch of magnesium. You need a little more potassium than you need magnesium. And you mix this. If you want to add a little lemon and stevia, you make a lemonade from it. That's what my recipe will be at my website. Just go to thejorgecruzeshow.com. You want to have one of these 32-ounce waters. That's how much water you want to add to this, to this half a teaspoon every 2 hours. You start your first one upon rising and continue throughout the day. Uh, it'll get you 12 hours into your day about, as if you have 6 of these. Most of my clients have 6, then they break their fast. So maybe it's 5, maybe it's 6, and then they eat a high protein, high fat diet. And I'll teach you more of that later, but I'll include show links to shows I've done on the best meal and how to break your fast, which is gonna be more keto style. It's gonna definitely gonna be a high protein, high fat, low carbohydrate. Uh, and it's only when you pair carbohydrates and sugar with sodium that you get any issues with high blood pressure. So please, if anyone has that concern, know that you're not gonna have that on this plan. But again, always check with your doctor if you need to. Please, I need to always say that. Always check with your doctor. Uh, but this is just a recipe that you can try. It's delicious in my opinion. And more importantly, it's gonna give you the sodium levels you need to be able to fast and feel energy without overeating, without eating at all, literally for 24 hours. It's amazing. And then that automatically puts you into this place called OMAD, one meal a day. It's a hashtag on social, OMAD. And more importantly, you break your fast with the proper nutrients that are going to restore your body, such as high fat, high protein. And I'll include show notes to interviews I've done with Paul Saladino, Dr. Paul Saladino, and Dr. Shawn Baker, which really revealed best diet out there, which is a high protein, high fat diet. So you can do that as well. And that's all at jorgecruzeshow.com to get everything in case you're not taking notes. But super simple recipe, super delicious. It's going to turn off your hunger. It's going to give you the ideal cortisol in your body and you're going to feel phenomenal. So that's step 1, secret 1. The second secret is super simple. I call it think fit. So there's a phrase I want to share with you. I'm going to say it twice and then I want you to say it with me 3 more times. And what this will do is it will give you the empowerment, it'll give you the edge to really see life from a perspective that will give you momentum and will give you freedom and will lower cortisol. Because when you have negative thoughts, your stress goes up. When stress goes up, cortisol goes up. You then have the same issue that you do eating sugar and carbs. So this will help curb that so you can kind of see your life from from a perspective that is true and more beneficial to you. And it's simple. Here's the phrase. It's, life is happening for me, not to me. I'll say it again. Life is happening for me, not to me. All right, let's say 3 times together right now. Let's do it. Stand up tall, chest out, shoulders back. Life is happening for me, not to me. Again, life is happening for me, not to me. One more time. Life is happening for me. Underline the word for me, not to me. Now, simply said, you know, this is an affirmation of freedom. This is an affirmation of responsibility. This is an affirmation of truth. And it's seeing it from what I would call God's perspective, because we can always see the glass half empty. But I think if you can learn from whatever's been given to you, uh, you can say, you know what, there's a way to see this in a positive light. And the more positive the light, you know, is more God's perspective. And whether you're religious or not, it doesn't matter. It's just seeing the glass from a perspective that is positive. And by doing that, you lower cortisol. That's the bottom line. And when you lower cortisol and you get it to that baseline, magic happens. Your body loses weight. And then that's how you can then give yourself the momentum to lose up to 2 pounds in a day. And that's what my clients have done. And I want these 2 simple secrets, the one with the water and then this phrase, you know, about life happening for us, not to us. I want you to utilize these two in unison between now and January the 4th. So if this is something you think you would do, please shoot me an email. Just email me at jorge@jorgecruiseshow.com. That's my email for the show. And let me know that you are listening to episode 100 and you're going to take this challenge on. You're going to drink this water. You're going to use this affirmation, this positive self-talk that life is happening for me, me, not to me. And you're going to see what happens. And here's your story, here's what has happened, here's how many pounds you want to lose. And I bet between now and January 4th, you could lose 10 pounds by simply utilizing this, let alone drop 2 pounds tomorrow. You can drop 2 pounds in a day. Now obviously, the more weight you have to lose, the longer you can keep losing the larger amount of weight. But remember, every ounce you lose of body fat and of weight that you don't want is beneficial. Always appreciate even an ounce. And you will be dropping, I think, up to 10 pounds if you do this on a regular basis. You drink this water, you activate your body's ability to turn off hunger, you activate your body's ability to kind of create that baseline in cortisol, and you will lose 2 pounds a day. It's that simple, guys. Use that with the ThinkFit, and now you've got a guaranteed formula so you can't self-sabotage. Because I hate to say it, but the number one person that will sabotage us is ourselves, and it's usually our own negative self-talk. So this will help correct that. So I hope this makes good sense. Thank you guys so much for your time today on this Monday. Have a beautiful holiday week. I can't wait to talk to you tomorrow. Peace and purpose. Take good care.
