00:00:01.042 --> 00:00:02.185
Hey there, sunshine.

00:00:02.185 --> 00:00:12.287
Today you're gonna get a glimpse into what's been going on behind the scenes here at the Rusell household, because Jared and I have just been having this discussion and I want you to be here to be a part of it.

00:00:12.287 --> 00:00:19.490
We were talking about how the most common problems today are so easily solvable.

00:00:19.490 --> 00:00:23.442
Now, I don't want that to stir you up, make you mad or make you upset.

00:00:23.442 --> 00:00:27.179
I want that to fill you with hope because we're talking about it.

00:00:27.179 --> 00:00:32.256
We're sitting here and we're like constipation so easily solvable Eat more plants.

00:00:32.256 --> 00:00:37.008
High blood pressure Most of the time easily solvable Eat more plants.

00:00:37.008 --> 00:00:42.085
High cholesterol Generally easily solvable Eat more plants.

00:00:42.085 --> 00:00:47.421
You know and I could go on and on we know this from research.

00:00:47.421 --> 00:00:49.267
But Jared and I have lived it.

00:00:49.267 --> 00:00:50.289
We've lived it ourselves.

00:00:50.289 --> 00:00:53.506
We live it with our clients and our patients on a regular basis.

00:00:54.289 --> 00:00:55.613
This is the reality.

00:00:55.613 --> 00:01:04.587
I don't want you to keep getting lied to by the enemy, thinking you've got this problem and it's really gonna be hard to solve or you're just stuck with it for life.

00:01:04.587 --> 00:01:25.400
Generally, the answer is simple it's going to help you, this is gonna help you, but the problem comes in when you start thinking that sounds great and all Anita, ideally I would love to do that, but I don't have any clue how, because when you start thinking about that, all you can think about is what I'm gonna be missing.

00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.647
What am I gonna be missing that I love to eat now?

00:01:27.647 --> 00:01:31.748
Oh, I love to eat this or that or the other, and the enemy comes to you and brings those foods to mine.

00:01:31.748 --> 00:01:33.944
Oh, you like pizza too much and you can't have that.

00:01:33.944 --> 00:01:35.822
You won't be able to have that big old juicy steak.

00:01:35.822 --> 00:01:41.185
Or, for me, you won't be able to have that dairy and the sour cream and the cheese and all those things you love.

00:01:41.185 --> 00:01:44.561
Anita, you're gonna be somehow missing out Now.

00:01:44.561 --> 00:01:48.173
It's gonna be depriving you of the good things.

00:01:48.173 --> 00:01:49.438
We've talked about this before.

00:01:49.438 --> 00:01:51.024
We've talked about this before.

00:01:51.024 --> 00:01:59.289
If you've missed it, go back and listen to the 274 episodes before this one, because I want you to understand these things.

00:01:59.590 --> 00:02:03.606
The things we share here, are key to getting you the results you're after.

00:02:03.606 --> 00:02:05.731
You've got to change your thinking around.

00:02:05.731 --> 00:02:06.762
What is good?

00:02:06.762 --> 00:02:08.086
What is good?

00:02:08.086 --> 00:02:09.750
Are the things good for you?

00:02:09.750 --> 00:02:32.258
Are they really good for you if they're keeping you stuck in your health struggles, feeling exhausted all the time, lacking mental clarity and, ultimately, unable to live the life that you've been born and called to live in this world, because that's what all this is really about Getting you to the place that you can feel good and fully live your kingdom purpose.

00:02:32.258 --> 00:02:43.984
Sure, maybe you're surviving your day, maybe you're getting some things done, but you feel like I just don't have enough energy to deal with all the things throughout my day and then do the extra stuff that I want to do.

00:02:43.984 --> 00:02:50.269
That I know that God's put on my heart and I keep putting it on the back burner because I just don't feel like it.

00:02:51.091 --> 00:03:08.973
That is not where you need to be, and I'm telling you, when you go back to the garden, in this area of what you eat, you learn how to do it in the way that is simple for you, that works with your situation, with your real life, with your schedule, with your palate, with your taste buds.

00:03:08.973 --> 00:03:13.350
It's got to be happy with your taste buds and it's quick to do so.

00:03:13.350 --> 00:03:15.800
You're not stuck in the kitchen all the time.

00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.471
This is where breakthrough happens.

00:03:18.471 --> 00:03:21.945
It's not just about oh, you need to eat this food because it's good for you.

00:03:21.945 --> 00:03:25.021
No, this is about what are you going to be able to do then?

00:03:25.021 --> 00:03:27.752
What are these foods going to empower you to do.

00:03:28.193 --> 00:03:31.388
In our society, we focus too much about the food and the pleasure it brings us.

00:03:31.388 --> 00:03:33.478
Food is a tool.

00:03:33.478 --> 00:03:35.284
Think about it kind of like money.

00:03:35.284 --> 00:03:36.389
Food is a tool.

00:03:36.389 --> 00:03:46.792
We may want to talk about this more at a later time, but I want you to start wrapping your mind around how food is a tool that fuels your body to do what.

00:03:46.792 --> 00:03:54.969
Well, that's going to be different for each one of you, but the way that it's the same for each one of you is that you all have a kingdom calling.

00:03:54.969 --> 00:04:03.876
You are called to bring God's kingdom to this earth as a believer and a follower of Jesus, and we absolutely are stopped from doing that.

00:04:03.876 --> 00:04:11.030
When we do not feel our best, we're either stopped short or we're completely stopped, depending on what we're dealing with in our health.

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:38.701
If it's a big diagnosis and we're spending all our time at the doctor's office and trying to just find the one medication that'll control it, and then we take one medication, two medications, three medications, and now we're dealing with the side effects of the medication, with more medication and all that time running to and from offices and procedures and all this crazy stuff and trying to figure it out in the stress and the worry that comes with all that, when we could get so much freedom by just getting the right foods into our bodies.

00:04:38.701 --> 00:04:49.052
But that's really hard to sustain, that's really hard to do on a regular basis when you don't know how to do it in the way that will work with real life.

00:04:49.052 --> 00:05:03.786
That is sustainable and to be sustainable, it's got to be enjoyable and work with your schedule, and that is what Jare and I are all about showing you to do, because your future matters, your present matters.

00:05:03.786 --> 00:05:06.548
These things can start to turn around so fast.

00:05:06.548 --> 00:05:10.745
I mean, just take the one thing constipation, your digestive system.

00:05:10.745 --> 00:05:11.944
We talked about this before.

00:05:12.420 --> 00:05:15.869
One of our members had reflex for 14 years.

00:05:15.869 --> 00:05:16.872
Girl, we love you.

00:05:16.872 --> 00:05:19.228
If you're listening, we just think you're amazing.

00:05:19.228 --> 00:05:33.189
She learned the way to make this sustainable and enjoyable and she's showing up in community inspiring others to do the same and gaining inspiration to keep adding to her go-to favorites, to keep learning the new things.

00:05:33.189 --> 00:05:35.749
There are so many wonderful things that you can do.

00:05:35.749 --> 00:05:40.423
In ways you can change things up to keep it exciting without being overwhelming.

00:05:40.423 --> 00:05:47.802
This should not be hard, but when we think about whole food, plant based, sometimes all we can think about is like Jared says, rabbit food.

00:05:47.802 --> 00:05:48.384
You know eating.

00:05:48.384 --> 00:05:50.160
That that's what people have always said to us.

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:51.324
You know, oh, you eat rabbit food.

00:05:51.324 --> 00:05:53.084
I don't know how you do that, so you think lettuce.

00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.329
Yeah, iceberg lettuce, right, things like that.

00:05:56.329 --> 00:06:01.685
So how are you going to sustain a lifestyle of eating foods that you don't think are enjoyable?

00:06:01.685 --> 00:06:03.826
And you have all these other foods that you think are enjoyable.

00:06:03.826 --> 00:06:12.185
You don't know that you need to find your new favorites or even how to start doing that, and then you need somebody to walk you step by step through that process.

00:06:12.185 --> 00:06:15.759
You want to get in community with those who are on the same path.

00:06:16.334 --> 00:06:18.021
Go right now and get into Pi.

00:06:18.021 --> 00:06:24.002
It's absolutely free and waiting there for you, with a group of amazing people.

00:06:24.002 --> 00:06:26.502
One of our members, john, was just in there.

00:06:26.502 --> 00:06:31.642
He was talking about how he loves Pi because it gives him so much inspiration.

00:06:31.642 --> 00:06:36.601
He said I'm very thankful to have a place to learn and to share with one another.

00:06:36.601 --> 00:06:40.519
Everyone here feels like family, and I don't use that term lightly.

00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:51.384
You can find a lot of great information online and in books from a lot of great people and organizations, but you try to go to their website or even social media networks and ask them a question.

00:06:51.384 --> 00:06:53.040
Good luck getting a response.

00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:59.524
From day one, the responses, ideas shared and support have been nothing short of amazing.

00:06:59.524 --> 00:07:02.624
A salute to my PopPi family.

00:07:02.694 --> 00:07:04.141
Now Pop is power on plants.

00:07:04.141 --> 00:07:09.163
In case you're new here and you're not sure what the link go and Pi is podcast insider's experience.

00:07:09.163 --> 00:07:10.300
That's our free group.

00:07:10.300 --> 00:07:13.761
That's the group John is in he's talking about right here.

00:07:13.761 --> 00:07:16.742
So go right now and become a part of the group.

00:07:16.742 --> 00:07:26.603
But don't just get in there and start using the search function where you can search all the podcasts and learn how to do these things, but start getting your questions answered.

00:07:26.603 --> 00:07:30.341
Post questions for each other, share what's on your plate.

00:07:30.341 --> 00:07:46.160
You think that won't make a difference, but if you take a quick snapshot of your plate and you just post it, it takes you like two seconds, but it can skyrocket you because as you start sharing with others, they will start sharing more with you and you will not believe what a difference this is gonna make for you.

00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.281
So go right now to poweronplantscom.

00:07:49.281 --> 00:07:49.583

00:08:04.254 --> 00:08:06.723
So just to recap, we're still in the intro, y'all.

00:08:06.723 --> 00:08:25.699
I just get so wound up by this and I wanted you to be a part of this conversation that Jared and I just had, because it's an important one, and that is so many of the things that you're dealing with the top diseases of our time that we are lied to about, that they are chronic, that they have to be something you deal with for the rest of your life.

00:08:25.699 --> 00:08:26.939
That's just not true.

00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:34.504
The answer is so simple to improving these conditions, and that's to eat more plants.

00:08:34.504 --> 00:08:37.884
And I'll add drink more water, but eat more plants.

00:08:37.884 --> 00:08:42.563
There are other things you can do, but this is the foundation of the change.

00:08:42.563 --> 00:08:47.326
The problem comes in when we don't know how to do that.

00:08:47.326 --> 00:08:54.283
So today we're giving you 10 simple ways to eat more whole plant foods and actually enjoy it.

00:08:55.134 --> 00:08:58.063
Hey sister, welcome to the Power On Plants podcast.

00:08:58.455 --> 00:09:03.403
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:09:03.934 --> 00:09:08.822
Do you wanna avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:09:08.822 --> 00:09:15.078
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:09:15.078 --> 00:09:22.745
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussell, christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:09:22.745 --> 00:09:34.977
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers to traditional routes.

00:09:34.977 --> 00:09:42.202
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:09:42.202 --> 00:09:45.979
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:09:45.979 --> 00:09:51.143
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.

00:09:51.143 --> 00:09:59.384
If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.

00:09:59.384 --> 00:10:04.663
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those ear buds and let's get started.

00:10:06.654 --> 00:10:08.402
Woo, that was some good stuff.

00:10:08.402 --> 00:10:12.182
If you fast forwarded through the intro, you need to go back and listen to it.

00:10:12.182 --> 00:10:16.306
Anita was fired up and just a woman with a mission.

00:10:16.796 --> 00:10:19.043
Honestly, this is our heart for you.

00:10:19.043 --> 00:10:20.600
We want to see you get.

00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:25.244
Well, go back and listen to that intro because, honestly, it was a podcast episode within itself.

00:10:25.244 --> 00:10:26.480
This is just the bonus.

00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.163
The regular episode's gonna be the bonus for you today.

00:10:30.157 --> 00:10:36.239
Our intro, where we've got a little music jingle that's more like an intermission for today's podcast instead of an intro.

00:10:36.239 --> 00:10:50.222
But you know, I had a revelation while you were talking and we've talked about this, anita and I have talked about this just privately where, when people think of plant-based, I think they're two extremes to this.

00:10:50.222 --> 00:10:51.398
Both are wrong.

00:10:51.398 --> 00:11:04.298
One on one hand, they think going plant-based has to be complicated, because obviously the solution must be complicated, because my health issues are complicated, sometimes they are.

00:11:04.298 --> 00:11:05.581
Many times they are not.

00:11:05.581 --> 00:11:07.158
I mean high cholesterol.

00:11:07.158 --> 00:11:11.363
You just have too much cholesterol, you're eating too much, you're not getting rid of enough.

00:11:11.815 --> 00:11:13.682
Right, so you have to figure out what are the sources.

00:11:13.682 --> 00:11:19.383
Where is it coming from, which is a very simple answer, and where will you not get it at all?

00:11:19.383 --> 00:11:22.558
Zero of it when you eat a certain type of food, and we'll fix it.

00:11:23.134 --> 00:11:24.741
So we think it's too complicated.

00:11:24.741 --> 00:11:26.380
So then we get paralyzed by that.

00:11:26.380 --> 00:11:41.919
It's either I can't go plant-based, it's two hours of meal prep each time I wanna eat, but then the other flip side of this is that Too simple, like the way we we present it, it really is not that difficult.

00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.365
There are ways that you can have simple food prep.

00:11:44.365 --> 00:11:47.413
Not a long list of exotic ingredients.

00:11:47.413 --> 00:11:54.333
It's stuff that you can find easily, but you will enjoy it so much, so much more than you realize.

00:11:55.160 --> 00:12:01.259
But that's too simple right, it can't be that simple, so I can't believe that I'm not even gonna try that.

00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:09.102
So either it's too complicated or it's too simple and you don't get started such a great point, absolutely true.

00:12:09.182 --> 00:12:12.812
And we get stuck in these lies, these deceptions, trickery.

00:12:12.812 --> 00:12:18.599
Deceiving us is one of the enemy's key ways of keeping us stuck.

00:12:18.599 --> 00:12:23.416
And If you think something is too hard or too simple, you think it's not gonna work.

00:12:23.416 --> 00:12:24.539
And that's a lie.

00:12:24.539 --> 00:12:26.163
We know, we know.

00:12:26.163 --> 00:12:27.206
We know that this works.

00:12:27.206 --> 00:12:28.370
Why does it work?

00:12:28.370 --> 00:12:29.011
Was believers.

00:12:29.011 --> 00:12:31.186
Let's just take it back to Genesis 1 29.

00:12:31.366 --> 00:12:36.910
It's a garden just read it, read it, get out the word and read it and I'll tell you.

00:12:36.910 --> 00:12:40.059
It is the key to solving so many things in your life.

00:12:40.059 --> 00:12:41.443
Go back to the beginning.

00:12:41.443 --> 00:12:43.510
What were we meant to have?

00:12:43.510 --> 00:12:45.326
How were we meant to live?

00:12:45.326 --> 00:12:49.100
You start learning of those things and gaining connection with your creator.

00:12:49.259 --> 00:13:01.493
Not just reading to know and amass knowledge, but actually developing a living, vibrant, growing relationship with him, spending time Talking to him, pouring out your heart and hearing his voice, because he cares about you.

00:13:01.493 --> 00:13:04.289
He is your father and you are his child.

00:13:04.289 --> 00:13:09.491
Even human fathers care about their children and take care of their children.

00:13:09.491 --> 00:13:18.085
At least the godly ones do right, and so it may be hard for some of us to wrap our mind around a father If we didn't have the greatest father figure growing up.

00:13:18.085 --> 00:13:20.529
Then start thinking about your shepherd.

00:13:20.529 --> 00:13:22.073
Think about a shepherd and his sheep.

00:13:22.073 --> 00:13:25.799
He takes care of and protects and provides for his sheep.

00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:27.964
Think about a king.

00:13:27.964 --> 00:13:33.495
A king who has a kingdom, cares for his people because they are his heart.

00:13:33.495 --> 00:13:35.467
That's the heart of his kingdom.

00:13:35.467 --> 00:13:36.914
That's what a good king does.

00:13:36.914 --> 00:13:40.169
God is your king, he's your shepherd and he's your father.

00:13:40.169 --> 00:13:42.299
Of course he wants you to get better.

00:13:42.299 --> 00:13:45.330
Of course he wants you to thrive and live well.

00:13:45.961 --> 00:14:00.298
So we've got to start wrapping our mind around the things that are true in the word spending time and growing our relationship with him, and then learning how to get the most nutrient, dense foods on the planet into our body on a regular basis.

00:14:00.298 --> 00:14:02.302
And we know that.

00:14:02.302 --> 00:14:09.174
We know what those foods are because we go back to the very beginning of how he created this body to run.

00:14:09.174 --> 00:14:10.945
It's right there.

00:14:10.945 --> 00:14:12.068
It's one verse.

00:14:12.068 --> 00:14:13.826
Read the whole thing together.

00:14:13.826 --> 00:14:16.320
Don't take it out of context, but go back to the beginning.

00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.083
This is what he's coming to restore.

00:14:18.083 --> 00:14:26.730
The whole mission from the very beginning ever since we've messed it up Was to bring us back to what he gave us in the very beginning.

00:14:26.730 --> 00:14:29.899
He's coming back to earth to rule and reign and live with us.

00:14:29.899 --> 00:14:33.894
He wants to be with you, but he also wants a lot of things for you.

00:14:33.894 --> 00:14:35.139
He wants you to be well.

00:14:35.280 --> 00:14:39.535
So we want to share with you today what are 10 simple ways.

00:14:39.535 --> 00:14:40.539
These are just 10 ways.

00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:43.750
There's so many more ways, but these are the 10 ways.

00:14:43.750 --> 00:14:46.980
You need to start learning and implementing some of these things.

00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:48.370
Don't feel like you have to do them all.

00:14:48.370 --> 00:14:49.679
Just start doing one.

00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.945
You're gonna be better off than you were yesterday.

00:14:51.945 --> 00:15:08.566
And then add another, and then add another, because what we know is this stuff builds one upon another, and that's why getting in community is so very Important, because when you're there, you're gonna get more ideas, you're gonna be sharing what you're doing, you're gonna be excited and learning and growing.

00:15:09.006 --> 00:15:10.851
I'm over here smiling because I'm thinking back.

00:15:10.851 --> 00:15:14.068
In the garden there were no boxes of mac and cheese hanging off of a tree.

00:15:14.068 --> 00:15:19.351
Norworth yeah, that's a great there were no fruit loops growing on bushes.

00:15:20.900 --> 00:15:24.710
Right and no oil, big bottles of oil hanging there.

00:15:24.710 --> 00:15:26.474
It was not the way it was.

00:15:26.474 --> 00:15:33.381
So point number one I've shared this a couple of times now and that is getting yourself in the right Environment.

00:15:33.381 --> 00:15:42.466
And when we teach environment inside our upcoming course and when we teach it inside the membership, what we're teaching is people, places and things.

00:15:42.466 --> 00:15:49.283
Those are the three things in your environment that greatly affect your ability to Succeed in healthy, plant-based living.

00:15:49.705 --> 00:15:58.919
So joining pie, getting in the community of like-minded individuals who are going to support you and give you Ideas and help you to grow but you're not just gonna go in there to take.

00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:00.782
That's not what believers do.

00:16:00.782 --> 00:16:02.124
We go there to share.

00:16:02.124 --> 00:16:04.365
Think about the principles of giving in the word.

00:16:04.365 --> 00:16:08.711
When you give, you cannot out give the King of Kings.

00:16:08.711 --> 00:16:10.394
You cannot out give God.

00:16:10.394 --> 00:16:14.102
He is going to bless when you give and when you share.

00:16:14.102 --> 00:16:20.596
And that's what we find when you get in community the people that we see that come in and that are sharing what they're going through.

00:16:20.596 --> 00:16:22.205
You don't have to know everything.

00:16:22.205 --> 00:16:23.951
This could be your very first step.

00:16:23.951 --> 00:16:24.774
You just take a picture.

00:16:24.774 --> 00:16:25.395
Hey, I tried this.

00:16:25.395 --> 00:16:26.740
This was my first plant-based meal.

00:16:26.740 --> 00:16:28.032
Boom, that's it.

00:16:28.533 --> 00:16:38.196
And what you may find too, though, is that others may take that thing that you like and then give a small suggestion of how you can take that same dish and just make it change it Ten times better.

00:16:38.235 --> 00:16:39.962
We see it all the time.

00:16:39.962 --> 00:16:42.572
This is what happens, and so you're learning and you're growing.

00:16:42.572 --> 00:16:45.499
But you're also what if you don't get any responses?

00:16:45.499 --> 00:16:55.775
You've given somebody else an idea, and that's never going to be a loss for you living in God's ways, because you are going to be blessed by being a blessing to others.

00:16:55.775 --> 00:17:06.992
So step number one is join the community that is going to help you propel your success, and you can do that right now at poweronplantscom.

00:17:07.012 --> 00:17:08.737
Forward slash P I E.

00:17:08.737 --> 00:17:10.579
Power on plants dot com.

00:17:10.579 --> 00:17:11.301
Four slash pie.

00:17:11.301 --> 00:17:15.174
Number two you need tried and true recipes.

00:17:15.174 --> 00:17:17.801
When you first start, you're not always going to need recipes.

00:17:17.801 --> 00:17:21.904
We teach inside the upcoming course, we teach inside the membership.

00:17:21.904 --> 00:17:24.674
Right now we're showing you how to make unrecipes.

00:17:24.674 --> 00:17:28.608
This is what I've deemed the meals that don't even require a recipe.

00:17:28.608 --> 00:17:29.653
They're just that simple.

00:17:29.653 --> 00:17:31.400
They're more like food formulas.

00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:32.865
I also use that term.

00:17:32.865 --> 00:17:37.105
You know this plus this, plus this, plus this equals that, and then you learn different things.

00:17:37.105 --> 00:17:49.326
You can sub in for the pluses and pretty soon your mind is blind because you do not see how something you thought was going to be restrictive has unending possibilities and ending combinations.

00:17:49.567 --> 00:17:52.897
And don't underestimate the amount of freedom that that can bring.

00:17:52.897 --> 00:18:09.013
Oh, absolutely Mentally too, because if you're always thinking in terms of a recipe and you come home, maybe from a long day of doing something work, whatever and you think, okay, I need to have a recipe, Do I have the ingredients, Do I have the amount that I need?

00:18:09.013 --> 00:18:11.519
And then it just kind of spirals from that.

00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:16.386
Or if you think I just want a grain ball we love that example because they're very easy.

00:18:16.386 --> 00:18:17.009
We do enjoy them.

00:18:17.009 --> 00:18:17.872
I want a grain ball.

00:18:17.872 --> 00:18:21.500
Oh, I've got some frozen rice from rice that I made a few days ago.

00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:27.103
I've got some sweet potatoes, I've got a can of black beans and I've got a couple of other items.

00:18:27.103 --> 00:18:30.239
I'm just going to throw them together while this is heating up in the microwave.

00:18:30.239 --> 00:18:35.848
Then I'll give this other thing prepared and within about 10 minutes you have dinner.

00:18:36.790 --> 00:18:38.355
You didn't have to worry about a recipe.

00:18:38.355 --> 00:18:41.972
You just thought I've got these few ingredients, their ingredients.

00:18:41.972 --> 00:18:44.951
You don't really have to worry about the amount, you just kind of throw them together.

00:18:45.172 --> 00:18:47.596
And so this is what you learn as you go.

00:18:47.596 --> 00:18:52.163
But the problem is you come in in the beginning and you think all I need is recipes.

00:18:52.163 --> 00:18:54.192
Because in the beginning you do need recipes.

00:18:54.192 --> 00:18:56.318
You don't know how to pull the formulas together.

00:18:56.318 --> 00:18:59.275
You don't even know what the different parts of the formula are.

00:18:59.275 --> 00:19:10.663
So that's why I have my cookbook and that's why I keep releasing my brand new recipes into the membership, into the course, because you need to know what do I do when I first get started.

00:19:10.663 --> 00:19:17.000
And even as you go, it's just nice to have that tried and true recipe right there that you know.

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.674
Someone has tried this, they know it works.

00:19:19.674 --> 00:19:28.978
I don't have to wonder how much of this should I put or that should I put, because as you go you're going to learn how to switch up recipes and make the possibilities endless.

00:19:28.978 --> 00:19:31.912
But maybe you're just at the beginning and thinking I don't know what to do.

00:19:31.912 --> 00:19:33.700
Look, I need a recipe.

00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:34.805
I just need to get started.

00:19:35.006 --> 00:19:39.438
We have the tried and true recipes for you, yes, and you need a recipe that's actually good.

00:19:39.438 --> 00:19:41.003
I'll add that.

00:19:41.003 --> 00:19:43.834
I'll tell you any recipe that I need to put her name on.

00:19:43.834 --> 00:19:51.441
It goes through a very rigorous testing process and even sometimes we'll get modified after the fact.

00:19:51.441 --> 00:19:58.201
If she maybe it's a recipe from a year ago and she tries and thinks I think it could be a little better, she will modify it.

00:19:58.549 --> 00:20:04.772
So if that's you and you're thinking, look, I just need some recipes to get started, get our cookbook bundle.

00:20:04.772 --> 00:20:06.517
It is a no brainer.

00:20:06.517 --> 00:20:14.931
We don't just have recipes in there for you, we have PDF guides and a lot of things that are going to help you gain success using whole plant foods.

00:20:14.931 --> 00:20:22.707
You've got to start somewhere, and these are the things that we've tested and perfected and we hear time and again when we have company this is amazing.

00:20:22.707 --> 00:20:23.569
People try it.

00:20:23.569 --> 00:20:24.471
They're emailing me.

00:20:24.833 --> 00:20:28.803
Anita, if every recipe in here is this good, my mind is blown.

00:20:28.803 --> 00:20:38.099
I had no idea that you could just use plants and get this kind of result A creamy, cheesy Alfredo sauce, waffles, pancakes, banana pudding I mean, you name it.

00:20:38.099 --> 00:20:46.915
We've got all these different categories, the most delicious drinks, desserts and I did some in each category so that you don't feel like, oh, I've got some mains here.

00:20:46.915 --> 00:21:08.116
Oh, all she's got desserts you need when you get started and even as you go, you're adding some into each category and it just lights you up because you found new favorites and it gives you inspiration and hope and you start to see that this could be your everyday reality the simplicity of it, all the flavors, all those wonderful things.

00:21:08.116 --> 00:21:16.699
So step two is get those tried and true recipes that make it simple for you but taste really good, so that you know that.

00:21:16.699 --> 00:21:17.160
You know that.

00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.436
You know that you can enjoy plant based and you can enjoy it for life.

00:21:20.436 --> 00:21:26.298
So go to power and plantscom forward slash cookbook and get your copy of the cookbook today.

00:21:26.298 --> 00:21:28.653
That's power and plantscom forward slash cookbook.

00:21:29.035 --> 00:21:36.920
So number three chop the whole plant foods, finally, and add them to sauces all kinds of sauces.

00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:39.827
We love doing this with our marinara sauce.

00:21:39.827 --> 00:21:41.573
We load them up with veggies.

00:21:41.573 --> 00:21:45.846
You can load up soups and stews using this strategy to.

00:21:45.846 --> 00:21:54.577
There's almost nothing that you can't chop, finally, a green or some veggies and get them in there and really not even know that they're there.

00:21:54.577 --> 00:21:56.705
It's such a simple strategy.

00:21:56.705 --> 00:22:02.067
That's strategy number three and number four blend those veggies up into your smoothie.

00:22:02.067 --> 00:22:03.912
Just toss them in and turn it on.

00:22:03.912 --> 00:22:05.474
It's not hard.

00:22:05.474 --> 00:22:08.682
Number five load up your tofu scramble.

00:22:08.682 --> 00:22:11.700
Go back and listen to our old episodes on tofu scramble.

00:22:11.700 --> 00:22:20.239
If you think I don't know what those episodes are called, anita, I don't know where to find them Then you need to be in podcast insiders, experience or free group, because it is searchable.

00:22:20.239 --> 00:22:23.092
All you have to do is go in there and type in tofu scramble.

00:22:23.092 --> 00:22:24.796
It will pull up every time.

00:22:24.796 --> 00:22:27.561
In any episode we've said tofu scramble.

00:22:27.702 --> 00:22:38.361
We have to go to the little magnifying glass bottom right hand corner of the screen and then when you click it it pulls up a little window that gives you the search bar where you can then put in tofu scramble everywhere.

00:22:38.361 --> 00:22:40.912
We've ever said it in any one of our podcast episodes.

00:22:40.912 --> 00:22:44.086
It'll pull you up right to that exact moment inside of it.

00:22:44.086 --> 00:22:48.065
Doesn't just pull up the episode, pulls it up right exactly in the episode.

00:22:48.065 --> 00:22:49.632
So maybe it's 10 minutes into it.

00:22:49.632 --> 00:22:50.935
It brings you right to it.

00:22:51.036 --> 00:22:56.031
It's absolutely a no brainer becoming a part of podcast insiders experience.

00:22:56.031 --> 00:23:01.933
It's a no brainer because it's going to get you where you want to go in so many ways, all right.

00:23:01.933 --> 00:23:03.798
So that was number five.

00:23:03.798 --> 00:23:05.381
Load up your tofu scramble.

00:23:05.381 --> 00:23:08.875
Number six do not eat that pancake or waffle plain.

00:23:08.875 --> 00:23:12.224
Load it up with fruits and some nuts.

00:23:12.224 --> 00:23:23.484
Make it really satisfying and stick to your ribs, but also get those extra nutrients in there by adding fruits and maybe even vegetables if you want to make it more savory.

00:23:23.484 --> 00:23:28.682
Number seven make a huge salad and challenge yourself to add some new to you options.

00:23:28.682 --> 00:23:34.076
Number eight preload your meals with simple veggie dishes.

00:23:34.076 --> 00:23:37.273
In other words, eat your veggies first.

00:23:37.273 --> 00:23:38.088
What are some options?

00:23:38.088 --> 00:23:44.532
Lightly steam or stir fry some broccoli, oil-free, with a lot of fresh garlic and lemon juice.

00:23:44.532 --> 00:23:47.193
You could even add a dash of low sodium tamari.

00:23:47.193 --> 00:23:48.910
There's so many options here.

00:23:48.910 --> 00:23:50.074
Need more ideas?

00:23:50.074 --> 00:23:51.431
Get inside the free group.

00:23:51.431 --> 00:23:52.670
You're gonna get them there.

00:23:52.670 --> 00:23:59.654
Number nine always have a delicious five minute power-on-plant sauce on hand for dipping raw veggies.

00:23:59.654 --> 00:24:02.653
We have several of those inside the Cookbook bundle.

00:24:03.085 --> 00:24:06.775
Number 10, turn your veggies into noodles.

00:24:06.775 --> 00:24:09.913
Get a spiralizer, look them up.

00:24:09.913 --> 00:24:13.750
That is one of the easiest ways to get more veggies and make it fun and delicious.

00:24:13.750 --> 00:24:15.009
Kids love this.

00:24:15.009 --> 00:24:16.549
They absolutely love this.

00:24:16.549 --> 00:24:27.516
So, mama, if you've got little ones in your life, if they're your children or your grandchildren or nieces and nephews, this is the perfect way to make memories with your kids.

00:24:27.865 --> 00:24:31.128
You can buy spiralizers that you just hand crank that are super easy.

00:24:31.128 --> 00:24:39.054
There are some that you just hold in twist that are really quick and simple, and so this is a wonderful way to get more vegetables into your life.

00:24:39.054 --> 00:24:45.111
Turn them into noodles and number 11, you know we love a good bonus, so I'm throwing this in extra.

00:24:45.111 --> 00:24:50.012
One of the simple ways to eat more whole-plant veggies is to surround yourself with them.

00:24:50.012 --> 00:24:51.530
This goes back to environment.

00:24:51.530 --> 00:24:55.895
Get them into your locations where you spend the most time.

00:24:55.895 --> 00:25:05.035
Keep your areas regularly stocked with the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, because you cannot eat what's not there.

00:25:05.035 --> 00:25:10.233
I know this one may seem a little simple, but it is the key to all the rest, right?

00:25:10.233 --> 00:25:12.913
If it's not there, you're not gonna eat it.

00:25:13.164 --> 00:25:32.471
And a practical aspect of that too, though, is that when you have the impulse for something now it could be I'm hungry, I wanna eat something, doesn't really matter what it is, you will eat what is right there You're not going to think, oh, I've got bag of chips, or I really should be eating something else that's healthier, but that's at the store.

00:25:32.471 --> 00:25:41.509
Bag of chips are here, healthy options at the store, you know, maybe some nice mixed nuts, whatever, then you're not going to the store to buy it because of that impulse.

00:25:41.509 --> 00:25:46.050
So if you have it, well one, don't have the chips in your house, Cause if it's not there, you're not gonna eat it.

00:25:46.050 --> 00:25:55.374
Same principle, because you're likely not gonna spend the 10, 15 minutes to drive to the store, cause when the impulse hits, you've got that you know five or 10 minutes where you eat what is there.

00:25:56.025 --> 00:26:01.733
That is just 10, only 10, there's so many more ways to make this simple.

00:26:01.733 --> 00:26:04.813
We share those with you as we go.

00:26:04.813 --> 00:26:06.791
We can't possibly share everything today.

00:26:06.791 --> 00:26:08.852
Number one you're gonna get overloaded and overwhelmed.

00:26:08.852 --> 00:26:11.212
You need kind of that step-by-step process.

00:26:11.212 --> 00:26:12.770
But this is where you start.

00:26:12.770 --> 00:26:30.191
You start on the podcast, you start gaining momentum, then come into the course when it's released in the future and, if you're in power on plant society, start taking what you're learning there and implementing step-by-step, asking your questions and getting them answered as you go through our group coaching.

00:26:30.191 --> 00:26:32.090
But maybe you're thinking you know what, anita?

00:26:32.090 --> 00:26:37.309
We've gone through all 10 of these, but I still want to know even more about Whole Food Plant-Based Eating.
