#61 - MOVE FIT: I USE CHIA TO TURN OFF HUNGER WHEN FASTING.

Happy Tuesday, it is June 23rd. I'm Jorge Cruise and welcome to The Jorge Cruise Show. This is the show for high performance living, uh, for people who don't have time. If you are as busy as most of my celebrity clients or online clients or readers of books, uh, then you're at the right place. I've dedicated my career to really helping people create this high performance, and when it comes down to it, it's really about lowering your waste circumference. Because if you want to work better, feel better, play better, travel better, just be happier, you got to lower waist circumference, otherwise known as belly fat. And so I've dedicated my career to this, over 20+ years of this, and this show is dedicated to helping you do that. And today we're going to be talking about a biohack that will help you fast, uh, 16 hours. I do 23 hours. Whatever you do, whether it's 16, 20, or 23 hours, I eat one meal a day. A lot of my clients do two meals But whether you're doing a 16 or 20+ hour fast, the question is, how do you not feel hungry? Today I'm going to share with you my flat belly meal recipe. I'm going to go into it in detail. You're going to learn why chia seeds are so important because they fill you up without breaking your fast. So all that is today. Now the show is brought to you by my website, JorgeCruise.com. We are sponsoring the show because right now we have a quick survey you can take at my website, JorgeCruise.com, and you get a free online belly Jorge Cruise course delivered to you in July. So it'll be in like 2 weeks or so for free. All you have to do is go to my website. It's JorgeCruise.com. Fill out the survey at the top of the page and then you'll be set and you'll get it texted to you. I do texting now more than email just because so many of you don't check emails. It's just life. It's not that we don't want to, it's just, it gets buried in spam and texting works so much better. And if you want to get on my VIP list to get the course as well, I'll just give you the number right now too. It's on my website, but it's area code 424-228-9548. That's my cell. Text me. It allows me now, I have it modified for a community service where I can now literally text you. I can send a group text to everyone. It's how I keep in touch with all my clients. And you're a part of that family, in my opinion, if you're part of the show. So send me a text right now at 424-228-9548. You'll get the first glance of every podcast that comes out as soon as it's live. You'll get a text on that. We do that Monday through Friday as a simple way to keep you motivated. But then you also get the Belly Fat Cure course as well, and as well as invitations to special live streams. And then you can straight up just ask me a question and I'll text you back Um, I look forward to hearing from you, so please do that. We're also brought to you by Navitas Organic. Navitas is where I get my chia seeds that we're going to be talking about on the show today. They're organic, and organic is critical in my opinion, especially if you have something of this nature on a daily basis. And a lot of my celebrities have chias every day. I know on The Real Housewives of New York, I work with Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, Countess Luanne, and they use chia every day. And so what I tell all those clients, and I would tell you, make sure it's organic. And Navitas Organic is certified, and it truly is. I've met the owners, their products are exceptional. And what's amazing is they're giving us 30% off your entire order of organic superfoods with the code CRUISE, C-R-U-I-S-E. All you have to do is head on over to navitasorganics.com jorgecruise.com/cruise and you get 30% off. And that's where I get my chia seeds. I also get my wheatgrass there, get all my superfoods. And then finally, we're brought to you by Primal Kitchen. Primal Kitchen is where I get my avocado oil and I use that in my flat belly meal. So we'll talk about that today as well. But they're giving us a free chipotle lemon mayo made with avocado oil. And if you don't know about avocado oil, I'll tell you, it is the most beneficial oil you can enjoy. Uh, it doesn't give the food a weird taste at all. I've replaced my olive oil, it's replaced my flaxseed oil. I put it in my meals, I use it for cooking. Um, it's amazing. It's a miraculous oil. It's anti-inflammatory. You need to use it on a regular basis. And they're giving us a free mayo made with this because most mayos are made with soybean oil, which is inflammatory. So check it out. You just need to go to primalkitchen.com/jorgecruise, primalkitchen.com/jorgecruise. /jorgecruise. So with that said, let's get started with today's show. The affirmation says, I use chia to turn off hunger when fasting. And I can tell you, you can make this taste so good, you won't even know you're not eating, and yet you're eating, and yet it doesn't break your fast. So it's a really great biohack. It's not in any of my books. This is exclusive. So super excited. I hope you share what you learned today with your loved ones, and more importantly, you use it to cure belly fat. Fat. All right, let's get started right now. It's a fact, 91% of us have a dangerous amount of belly fat, and it isn't just unsightly. When you have too much belly fat, you're more likely to suffer from aches and pains, low energy, memory loss, and poor sleep, which prevents you from performing your best at work, spending true quality time with your loved ones, and simply enjoying life. The good news is that you can cure belly fat and immediately start to work better, reduce pain, improve memory, and sleep better using simple shortcuts I've gathered. Hi, my name is Jorge Cruise, and I'm known as the 8-Minute Life Strategist to the world's busiest celebrities. I've been a fitness, nutrition, and high-performance living strategist for over 25 years, and you may have seen my work with Oprah Winfrey, Khloe Kardashian, President Clinton, Tyra Banks, Dr. Oz, Tony Robbins, or even Steve Harvey. My passion to find the best science-backed fitness shortcuts has allowed me to write over 30 books and become a multiple New York Times bestselling author with over 9 million books in print. And I know I can help you too. Welcome to the Jorge Cruise Show. Well, I'll tell you, I don't know if you're fasting these days, but in the 25 years I've been a trainer and I've had the honor of working with everyone from Oprah to Khloe Kardashian to Dr. Oz, I'll tell you, there is one eating strategy that has changed my life forever, and that is intermittent fasting. And if you've not tried it or you've heard me talk about it, whether you've seen it just recently, I was on Tamron Hall's show just before coronavirus. COVID-19 took over New York, but I did a really great demo with her showing these flat belly waters and flat belly meals using chia seeds. And literally, they turn off hunger because they're full of fiber. And there's different types of fiber, and without giving you too much information, soluble fiber is what this is made out of for the most part. And basically, when these chia seeds get moistened or wet, right, we put them in Almond milk, unsweetened. You can use different types of milk. I wouldn't use real dairy, it's full of sugar. Milk, skin milk, full of sugar. You want to use like an almond milk is what I would recommend. Soy you want to avoid if you're a woman, it can cause breast issues. So almonds are safe for the most part. You can use water though if you want, and I make flat belly waters and I make flat belly meals, and I'll tell you the difference on today's show because They really work. The meals have 30 grams of fiber, the waters have 10 grams of fiber, and this fiber will not break your fast. So it's powerful. So we'll get into that in just a minute. Let me share with you the affirmation, because as you know, what we say to ourselves changes what we do. And so I want to plant the seed— no pun intended here, the chia seed, right— into your head this morning with the following affirmation that I really think will get you to realize that you can fast and not be hungry. Now, it's counterintuitive to think that you can have a chia seed meal and still be fasting, but the science has shown you can. It's all about pretty much your blood sugar, and if you don't eat carbohydrates, sugars, or proteins, for the most part, you're safe. Fats— this thing has healthy fats in it because we add avocado oil to it. This thing called the Flat Belly Meal, which is what we're going to talk about today, has that. And the great thing about chia is they create this membrane when they're in the water And this membrane, once it's wet, protects the chia so it passes through you like magic. I mean, you will not absorb the chia. It'll pass through you. It's incredible fiber. It's like housekeeping coming in and cleaning up your house. It comes out the other end, and that's all we care about. So let's not get into that. But what happens is that you feel full the whole time, and then you can have your 1 or 2 meals during your 8-hour, 4-hour, or 1-hour eating window, whatever you've decided to do for your intermittent fast, and then you can enjoy the foods love. So it's simple. So let's, let's do the affirmation. I'm gonna do it 3 times so you hear the words. I'm gonna ask you to do it 3 times with me in front of a mirror, so then you feel the words deeper inside, and then we'll talk about this. All right, so here's— here it is: I use chia to turn off hunger when fasting. I'm gonna say it again. This is today's affirmation, show 16. 61 right now. I use chia to turn off hunger when fasting. I use chia to turn off hunger when fasting. Literally, it's like a switch. You can turn off hunger with chia seeds. All right, deep breath in. Hopefully you're standing in front of a mirror and say the following: I use chia to turn off hunger when fasting. Again, I use chia to turn off hunger when fasting. Last time, deep breath in. I use chia to turn off hunger when fasting. Now, when I was saying that, I closed my eyes and I feel like when I turn off hunger, you know, my tummy is full. I feel satisfied, not stuffed, not like Thanksgiving dinner stuffed, but I don't, I feel good. I feel satisfied. I'm not hungry. I just, I'm active. I'm doing what I love in life, whether it's a hike, whether it's spending time with my sons, whether it's working, traveling, doing the podcast, I just feel good. I don't— I'm not worried about food. And imagine having that power, that leverage over yourself to literally have an off switch so you don't feel hungry. And you do it in a way that tastes great. You're actually eating something, sort of, but it passes through you so it doesn't break your fast. That's what we're going to talk about right now, because chia for me has become something that I really love using on a regular basis with all my clients. And so the challenge to you is simple. Here's what I want you to do today. I want you to go to Navitas Organics website, use that 30% product code discount, have some shipped to you. You can use other chia and get it on Amazon. You can get Navitas on Amazon, but make sure it's organic, guys. It has to be organic because I'm going to ask you, and here's the recipe, recipe. So jot this down. It's simple. This is the easiest recipe. No cooking, no blenders. Literally a toss-together meal ready in a minute. Like, literally, this recipe takes one single minute to make. I've done it on television. And you let it sit for maybe 5 minutes, becomes more of like a smoothie. And then if you let it sit sit 15 to 20 minutes, it becomes like a pudding and it becomes more substantial. I usually use— I'll tell you this before we give you the recipe— Mason jars to put the meals in, and I use just regular water bottles, uh, 16 ounces at least, for the waters. And I'll give you both recipes right now. So for the flat belly meal, it's 3 tablespoons of organic chia seeds, 3 tablespoons of avocado oil, 8 ounces of almond milk, unsweetened. And then I've been using more monk fruit these days, but whether you use monk fruit or stevia, use a sweetener you like. There's so many different types of stevia out there with flavors that you can, that you can utilize. Pick whatever you care for. I have certain clients that don't even like sweet, so if you don't, you don't need to. It's substantial. And then once you have that all in a mason jar, stir it. That's it. And then let it sit for a few minutes. It becomes a smoothie. And then if you let it sit 20 minutes, I would say, it becomes a meal. Almost like a rice pudding, and it's so delicious, and it takes on the flavor of the natural sweetener you use, whatever it is. So it's simple, super simple. Now if you wanna make the flat belly water, it's basically a lighter version of this. Rather than 3 tablespoons, you use 1 tablespoon of chia seed, organic chia seeds, and then 16 ounces of water. And you may add, I know Dorinda Medley, I had a party last year, and she and I demoed it, and it's on my Instagram if you go, Through my timeline, you'll see a video of her and I doing this, but she adds stevia, she likes that, and then she adds food coloring to make it like colorful, the sheets with her eyes. So you can add red if you want like Tropical Punch with stevia. There's a company that I worked with last year that I really enjoyed their products, Sweet Leaf, you can use their stevia, but monk fruit works too. Just make sure it's not an artificial sweetener and don't use sugar, because that will break your fast. And artificial sweeteners should be avoided. Plant-based sweeteners are much, much better, you know, and just need a little bit of A couple drops goes a long way. And that's how you make the Flat Belly Water, the Flat Belly Meals. Remember, it's 3 times the chia, so 3 tablespoons, the water's 1 tablespoon. And you'll be set. And you can get these anywhere, but get them at navitasorganics.com and use that product code Cruise to get 30% off. And you can stockpile on this stuff and have your chias at home. You know, I have clients who'll use it in the morning upon rising. I prefer that if you are fasting to have water. I like 32 ounces of water in the morning with a little bit with pink Himalayan sea salt. I usually add a lemon. I'll drink that. It fills me up for an hour or two. Have coffee or tea with a little butter. That's my cruise control coffee or tea. I like that. Usually a pat of butter, stir that with a frother. Then maybe around like 10 o'clock, I then will may have a Flat Belly water if I'm not that hungry. If I'm not hungry, I won't have anything. I'll just continue to drink water. But if I get to that point, say 11 or 12, and I haven't If I'm eating at 3 o'clock like I am today, I will have a flat belly meal around lunchtime, what would be traditionally lunchtime, like 11 or 12, noon, right? And that fills me up. And then I may not even have dinner till 4 PM because it fills me up so much. And then I have a proper meal, you know, and then that's it. It's delicious. I have my protein, my chicken, my steak, my veggies, all that stuff. So I hope this simple little biohack using chia seeds to turn off your hunger will give you the push you need to embrace intermittent fasting without feeling hungry.
