#150 - Carb Swaps

What if there were an actual over 50 fat cure?

Yes, you heard me right.

What if in your 50s, 60s, 70s, you could lose belly fat quickly, easily, as if you were in your 20s? And if you're one of those people that never was able to lose weight, now at 50 plus, now you can actually drop belly inches faster than you ever thought was possible. Well, on today's show, I'm going to share with you a system I created over 10 years ago. It's called the Carb Swap System. And the Carb Swap System is designed to help you avoid hidden sweeteners. Because listen to me on this, hidden sweeteners are in everything from the beverages we drink to the foods we love. And if we continue to take in way too many sugar and carbs, we will never lose belly fat because your body's always in a high insulin state, which causes belly fat to stay glued to your body. Now imagine being able to carb swap it so you can take a beverage or a food you love, whether it's a drink like a soda or pasta and switch it with something even better. That's the same but better and more delicious. And best of all, has zero sugar and zero carbs. All that allowing to mimic intermittent fasting and best of all, extend your life even further. So all that on today's show.

Let's get started right now.

Hi, my name is Jorge Cruise, but I'm also known as the Zero Hunger Guy. 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 career started because I was addicted to sugar, carbs, salty snacks, and stress, and experts told me to simply count calories to get control.

They were wrong.

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 25 belly inches or even more, fast and permanently. And I know I can help you too. Welcome to the Zero Hunger Revolution.

So let's get the show started.

Carb swapping—

what is this? Well, imagine being able to take something you love and turning it into something that tastes the same or better but has almost zero sugar and carbohydrates. That's all this is. It works for food, it works for beverages, it works for alcohol. The list goes on and on. And today we're gonna, we're gonna do one of my favorites, lemonade. I think you're gonna love it. You're gonna be shocked to discover how much sugar is in lemonade and how you can make it at home with no sugar. And yet it's still sweet, but without the sugar. So before we do that, let's give thanks to our sponsors. We're brought to you by Primal Kitchen. I'm so excited for these guys. They are not only Zero Hunger Fast approved, but they are giving us a free chipotle lime mayonnaise, which I love. It's one of my favorites. If I'm cheating my fast, trying to extend it, one of my favorite things to use this mayo with is putting it on pickles.

I know that sounds a little out there, but I love pickles.

Pickles will not break your fast. And if you put a little healthy fat on it, like a little dollop of it and crunch down on it, it's actually the best little cheat out there that will turn off your hunger. And Primal Kitchen is giving us a free bottle. You simply need to go to primalkitchen.com/jorgecruise to claim your bottle. For free, and it is absolutely delicious. Check it out, guys.

We're also brought to you by Elemental Labs.

I'm super, super excited for their support. Uh, they are the makers of what I call the Zero Hunger Water, created by a biochemist who's become a dear friend of mine. His name is Rob Wolf. And just how good are these electrolytes? Well, I use them every single day, and you get a free box when you order a value bundle. Simply go to zerohungerwater.com.

So with that said, guys, What is a carb swap?

So a carb swap is simply a way to take something we love and switch it over to something that's better, that hopefully has very few sugars and carbs so it doesn't break our fast. You basically take total carbs and multiply by 4, and that'll give you a total of sugar calories. Now, the way I do it and the way I would recommend to you is when you are fasting, try to keep that to zero. Always. Now, when you break your fast, and I recommend you do it sensibly every day, You can go up to 25 carbohydrates multiplied by 4. That gives you 100 sugar calories. I love lemonade. I think we all have had good lemonade. This unfortunately is what I would say is belly bad. This is going to cause hunger. And the reason it's going to cause hunger, because if we go to the back, you take total carbohydrates. You can see it right there. I'll hold it still there. 53 carbs. That is crazy. 53 carbohydrates in this one serving of lemonade. They take 53, multiply it by 4, and we get 212 sugar calories. That's over a 2-day allotment, and that is way too many carbs. If you're trying to drink lemonade and you think it's gonna cause you to lose weight or stay thin, it'll never happen drinking traditional lemonade. So let's swap that for something better. Check this out. This is what I would suggest. You get lemon juice from— this is Santa Cruz, great brand— and stevia. I love Sweet Leaf. I've always loved Sweet Leaf. You combine the two to your taste, you're not going to get any calories. You're going to have the best lemonade out there. Just, I'll show you the label here. See, zero calories, zero carbs, zero everything. Same thing with stevia. And stevia is a natural plant-based sweetener. You combine these two with some water and you've got yourself a zero carbohydrate product with zero sugar calories. And zero is the way to lower your belly fat. That's how we're going to drop up to 25 belly inches quickly. Now, if you want to take it up a notch, I would highly recommend this one, Citrus Salt. This is by our sponsors, Elemental Labs. And if you go to ZeroHungerWater.com, I can tell you this is sweet. It's sweetened with stevia and it has the minerals, electrolytes the sodium, magnesium, potassium we all need. So when you drink this, it's also going to turn down your hunger, which is the opposite of what this bad boy does, because he turns up your hunger. Anytime there's sugar and carbohydrates, hunger goes up. Anytime you keep sugar and carbs low, hunger gets lowered. And if you add a little bit of sodium, then you get appetite control. So that's why I love Zero Hunger Water. And again, if you go to zerohungerwater.com, you can get this ready to go. Just pour it into 32 ounces of water, which is a liter. And you are set. Again, this or this have zero sugar calories, zero carbohydrates. This is belly good, and this is what we want because it's going to turn down hunger. And if you add the sodium, it's going to turn off hunger. This is the opposite. This is going to turn up your hunger. It's going to cause belly fat. It's going to cause us to break down faster. And sugar causes inflammation. So if we're trying to anti-age, you're never going to do it using traditional lemonade. So I hope that helps, guys. Now, here's what I want to hear from you. I want to invite you to email me at jorge@zerohungerguy.com other products, other things you want me to investigate, because we're going to do a different swap.
