#148 - Transform your body in 2022!
7 Jan 2022 · 15 min
In this solo‑host episode of the Jorge Cruise Podcast, the fitness celebrity introduces his new Zero Hunger Fasting coaching program launching on Sunday, Jan 7 2022. He frames intermittent fasting combined with a keto‑style diet as a powerful tool for more than just weight loss—promising benefits such as autophagy‑driven cellular recycling, improved immunity, disease prevention, longevity, energy, libido, and overall vitality, especially in the context of the COVID‑19 pandemic. Cruise explains the historical basis of fasting, recommends aggressive time‑restricted eating windows (16‑23 hours) and a “cheat‑fast” approach that allows nutrient‑dense, high‑fat meals (egg‑yolk scramble, avocado‑oil mayo, coffee, Zero Hunger Water) without breaking the fast. He details how listeners can join the program via zerohungerfasting.com, attend a live Zoom kickoff at 5 PM PT, and contact him directly (jorge@jorgecruise.com). The episode also features sponsor shout‑outs for Elemental Labs’ Zero Hunger Water and Primal Kitchen’s avocado‑oil mayo, with URLs for free product bundles. Throughout, Cruise leverages his celebrity credentials (NYT bestselling author, trainer to Oprah, Khloé Kardashian, etc.) to build authority and urges listeners to subscribe, review, and share the podcast to help grow the “Zero Hunger Revolution.”

Happy New Year, it's Jorge Cruise, and welcome to the show, guys. I'm thrilled you're here. Uh, it's 2022, and this season on our podcast, we are going to go deep on the subject, a solo subject really, things connected to it of course as well, but on fasting and why intermittent fasting with a keto lifestyle will transform your health way beyond even weight loss. As much as we all want a flat stomach, what intermittent fasting will really do is improve longevity, disease prevention, and with COVID-19 COVID-19 being crazy right now, uh, in 2022, we've got to have every edge to improve our immunity, uh, energy, longevity, and why not even our libido? You know, everything. It's going to improve everything. And so on today's show, we're going to talk and just briefly on what is intermittent fasting and why it's something I hope you will do with me and a few other people, hopefully globally, here, uh, this Sunday. Because this Sunday I'm launching a brand new coaching program that I'd love to invite you to. You can check it out at ZeroHungerFasting.com. And what it's really designed to do is to give you the ability to cheat the fast, both breakfast and lunch. A lot of you've written me and said as much as you loved last year, and we really were doing more Zero Hunger Water, which we continue to do, we're going to bring in a lot of what I call cheat meals, things that you can do in the morning, breakfast meals, lunch meals. So you can do one meal, you can literally fast for 21 hours each day and eat in a 3-hour window, your sensible meal at night, whatever that is, whether it's chicken, fish, steak, you can even be plant-based. You know, if you love beans like lentils, but whatever you choose to eat during your eating window, I'm going to teach you. We're going to talk about this fasting cheating method that will really mimic fasting for both breakfast and lunch beyond what Zero Hunger Water has done for so many of my clients. And we'll give you the edge. We'll give you the edge to really not just maximize and optimize your health in 2022, but do it from anywhere in the world. You know, I'm in Colorado right now with my team and we're kicking it off here in this beautiful— if you can see it through the window here, my hotel room, but there is snow everywhere. And whether you're in a hotel room, whether you're at work, whether you're on the go, whether you have kids, whether you're single, no one has time anymore. And so I'm gonna teach you how to do this program, both cheating the fast and eating right healthfully, when you have no time. So all that on today's show, guys. Please share today's show with all your loved ones, and let's get started right now. Hi, my name is Jorge Cruise. I'm a celebrity fitness trainer and a multiple New York Times bestselling diet author with 12 million fans. You may have seen my work with Oprah Winfrey, Khloe Kardashian, Kelly Clarkson, or even Steve Harvey. My passion to get radical control over both physical and emotional health has led me to find science-proven shortcuts that help my clients drop belly inches fast and permanently, and I know I can help you too. Welcome to the Zero Hunger Revolution. All right, well, I'm so happy to be coming to you on episode 1 here of season 3 of the Jorge Cruise Podcast, formerly known as the Zero Hunger The Fat Guy Podcast, so many of you just wanted it to be about what I'm doing in my life, and so here we are. I'm in Colorado with my team, like I said. It's a beautiful snowy day, and I want you to know that this year we're dedicated to really giving you the best tools to improve your health through fasting. We are calling it Zero Hunger Fasting. That's a new website we have, zerohungerfasting.com. There's different types of memberships and tools that you can utilize to really maximize your health through the ability of fasting. But before we get into it and what fasting is and why it's so important beyond weight loss, beyond getting abdominal fat off our, off our bodies, because that is not good. It's not good for our health. But let's talk about what fasting is today and how you can cheat it. That is what my goal is. And now you can join me on this Sunday and we can really have an intimate relationship, I hope, with a group of people that are like-minded, that want to improve and elevate their health to the best it's ever been. Because with 2022 now afoot right now, So many of us are concerned about COVID-19, concerned about disease prevention, heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes. It goes on and on and on. And obviously we need our health. Our health is the greatest wealth you'll ever have. And I believe the culmination of my entire 20 years of publishing has come down to really understanding how to utilize intermittent fasting with the keto lifestyle. So all that on today's show, guys. Before we get started, I want to say thanks to our sponsors. Uh, a big special thanks to Elemental Labs for, uh, giving us the on-the-go version of Zero Hunger Water. .com, and they're giving all of us a free box of this. They did this last year, they're extending it this year, of Zero Hunger Water on the go. My personal favorite this year has been without question, uh, watermelon. I have it with me here in the hotel. I love it. But they have so many flavors, from chocolate to lemon lime to orange flavored. And whatever version you take, you get a free box if you go to the URL zerohungerwater.com, click on the value bundle, and you get the the fourth box for free. So special thanks to my buddy Rob Wolf for that and for being such a key supporter of our podcast. We're also brought to you by Primal Kitchen. Primal Kitchen was started by my best friend and mentor of 17 years, Mark Sisson, the creator of Primal Kitchen. And they're giving us all this year, as they did last year, uh, a free bottle of the lemon chipotle mayo made from avocado oil, which is one of the hacks we can use to cheat the fast. Uh, healthy fats such as avocado oil, um, are amazing, delicious, and they don't break the fast. And if you use it while you're eating, it's like a cheat. So it's amazing. You can try this lemon chipotle mayo for free. Simply go to the following URL: go to primalkitchen.com/jorgecruise. And thank you to Mark Sisson and his team for that. So let's get started with today's show, guys. Uh, I'm coming to you from my studio, which is in my hotel room here in, uh, beautiful Colorado. It's snowy outside. I don't know if you can see the snow out there, but it's a gorgeous day. Uh, my team is here and we are really getting focused for 2022, and we're kicking it off this Sunday, obviously. And I'll tell you more about that and how you can become a part of that. But really, let's talk about what is fasting. You know, it's an ancient tool that our ancestors used, uh, out of necessity because it was how we survived for hundreds of thousands of years. Uh, our bodies are so capable of eating one meal a day. Uh, we don't need three meals a day. That's only something that truly has happened in the last 100 years when the advent of the refrigerator happened about 90 years ago, and salt helped preserve foods for years, of course, beyond that. But intermittent fasting is really understanding that you can create a time-restricted eating window, and the smaller the window, the more health you will get. My goal for you, if you choose, is to try a 23-hour window of fasting. Now, some of my clients do a 16-hour window, which gives them 8 hours to eat, which is like 2 meals a day. Uh, most of my clients that start to get the best results will do 1 meal a day, but I leave it up to you, and we'll talk about that on Sunday's meeting. But really, it's about knowing that this window of not eating, um, is what's gonna— is what's gonna improve your health. It's what gives your body the ability to produce an effect called autophagy. Now, what is autophagy? Autophagy is cellular recycling. And if you're like me, over 50, I can tell you we need to allow our bodies to have this essential time to recreate itself, to rebuild itself. Uh, there's a lot of talk about let food be thy medicine. We've heard this over many years, but it's really let the body heal itself. And this is what autophagy does, is allows you to do that. By simply drinking water with some minerals, you are set. That's what Zero Hunger Water is all about. And, um, as a side note, if you've never tried it, you just go to zerohungerwater.com. Whether you buy it or get the free recipe, you can start using it today. It's simply half a teaspoon of salt in 32 ounces of water. You can add a little lemon to it for flavor, a little stevia or monk fruit for sweetener, and you've got a great magic liquid, Zero Hunger Water, that you can make at home. And odds are, even if at a hotel like where I'm at right now, they have salt. You have salt. You just need to measure out half a teaspoon in 32 ounces and you'll be set. So that's, that's the key to it all really. And what autophagy does, once you allow it to take place every single day as a lifestyle, is it preserves your body. It keeps it young and it restores it to its youthful, youthful essence, whether that's energy, libido, waist circumference, belly fat goes away quickly, up to 2 pounds a day where you're dropping these belly inches and you get this incredible effect where you have this confidence that comes all the time. I was skiing this week, um, and I can tell you I did it in a fasted state. And if you haven't seen any of my TikTok videos or Instagram videos, please check those out, all @jorgecruise, TikTok and Instagram, to see a lot of these hacks I'm doing. I'll tell you one of the things I want to encourage you to do today, and there's no recipe really, it's as simple as taking 4 eggs and removing the whites, separate the whites from the yellows, and make an egg scramble. Have it for breakfast, have it for lunch. It's a cheat meal at salted pepper, cebolla as we say in Spanish, which is onions, cilantro. You add some green veggies if you want. Keep it all green, not too much, and it will turn off hunger for hours and hours because it's all healthy fat. Healthy fats from yolks, butter, heavy cream, and coffee, for example, is a great, uh, cheating fast as well. Uh, the zero hunger waters, we've talked about them. What we're going to do is continue to talk about these fasting cheats all throughout the year to give you the edge to do this on a regular basis. So you have the edge to maximize your health and go way beyond weight loss. Fast, like we said, to really improve your ability to overcome any issues with disease in your body and also longevity, maximizing that so you really feel your best, your most youthful self, uh, ever in 2022. So if you haven't signed up for my TikTok, I know it's something new I'm just doing. We have less than 100 people joined the initial group there at TikTok to see a lot of these hacks that I do, these fasting cheats I call them, that will allow you to enjoy foods like the egg yolk scramble I talked about. There's a lot of great, um, things I'll be doing with cognac fiber, which is a great plant from China, which is a high-fiber, non-absorbing fiber that you can make fettuccine with, spaghetti with. We're going to be doing more and more of that this coming year. So you can learn how to make a beautiful, for example, fettuccine with a cream sauce you could have at lunch that will not break your fast. So all these kind of things are coming out, and I want to ask you for your emails. Please shoot them at jorge@jorgecruise.com.
