00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.468
Does the idea of going plant based or eating more plant foods, or just getting healthy in general, make you feel overwhelmed?

00:00:08.468 --> 00:00:16.807
I remember the time when I spent my days feeling exhausted, with my health struggles, not knowing what to do next, and praying for the answer.

00:00:16.807 --> 00:00:22.670
So today we're going to share with you three simple ways to make getting healthy uncomplicated.

00:00:22.670 --> 00:00:25.402
Let's do this, hey sister.

00:00:25.402 --> 00:00:27.629
Welcome to the Power On Plants podcast.

00:00:27.629 --> 00:00:32.972
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:32.972 --> 00:00:38.392
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:00:38.392 --> 00:00:44.652
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:00:44.652 --> 00:00:47.146
Hi, we're Charity and I need to resell Christ.

00:00:47.146 --> 00:00:52.308
Followers, health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:00:52.308 --> 00:01:04.546
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.

00:01:04.546 --> 00:01:11.772
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant based living.

00:01:11.772 --> 00:01:15.549
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:01:15.549 --> 00:01:20.710
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious, so you never feel deprived.

00:01:20.710 --> 00:01:28.950
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.

00:01:28.950 --> 00:01:34.231
So grab your favorite plant based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:01:34.231 --> 00:01:37.790
Friend, we are so glad you're here with us again today.

00:01:37.790 --> 00:01:52.131
We hear from so many of you telling us that you absolutely love hanging out with us week by week, because you feel like we're sitting right there with you running your errands, with you, taking that walk with you outside, and we feel the same way.

00:01:52.131 --> 00:01:57.632
We absolutely love getting together with you week after week, sharing what we know.

00:01:57.632 --> 00:01:59.846
But we don't only love hanging out with you.

00:01:59.846 --> 00:02:07.265
What we love is the results of what's happening when you start to take action on all the things that we're sharing with you.

00:02:07.265 --> 00:02:15.626
We get these letters week after week of all the changes, the life changes, the things I can do now that weren't possible.

00:02:15.626 --> 00:02:24.210
One of our listeners, one of our brothers, wrote in and told us how he's now taking hikes with his wife 20 plus miles into the mountains.

00:02:24.210 --> 00:02:27.027
He can do that before he started eating whole plant foods.

00:02:27.027 --> 00:02:35.468
We have others who tell us how they're playing with their children, more they're traveling, more they're doing all these things they can only dream about doing before.

00:02:35.468 --> 00:02:38.287
This is what lights us up.

00:02:38.287 --> 00:02:44.741
If you have a story like that, what I want you to do today is just summarize it here for us.

00:02:44.741 --> 00:02:49.673
We have this show, jared, and I read every single review and it means so much to us.

00:02:49.673 --> 00:03:05.383
But it also can be a ripple that you share, that you drop into this ocean of people who are all trying to figure out how to get better, and if they can just read your testimonial, they can just see hey, you said this and I did that.

00:03:05.383 --> 00:03:12.211
And here's what's happened my labs went from this to this, my blood pressure went from this to this, my cholesterol dropped from this to that.

00:03:12.211 --> 00:03:14.548
These are the things you guys are emailing us.

00:03:14.548 --> 00:03:16.887
This is crazy, incredible.

00:03:16.887 --> 00:03:19.086
This is life changing.

00:03:19.259 --> 00:03:21.848
And the thing is is you're not the only person with this issue.

00:03:21.848 --> 00:03:36.230
I guarantee you there are tens of thousands of other people that are going through some of the same struggles and if you can get those results and leave a positive testimonial, it will encourage someone else to take those steps, to go forward and get those same results.

00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.329
You might be the one answer to prayer that they've asked for today.

00:03:39.329 --> 00:03:48.223
That happened upon our podcast episode, and they think I'm going to look at the reviews and boom, there's your review, and God just places into their heart you need to do this too.

00:03:48.223 --> 00:03:50.646
This is the answer that you've been praying for.

00:03:50.646 --> 00:03:54.868
All that to say we're not just here just to hang out with you, you know, and just to have a little party.

00:03:54.868 --> 00:04:05.112
We love having a party, we love having get togethers, we love getting to know you more, but what lights us up is seeing you be able to go out and live the life that you were born to live.

00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.539
It's a party with a purpose, a party with a purpose.

00:04:09.823 --> 00:04:11.539
Oh no, I think we need another t-shirt.

00:04:11.539 --> 00:04:13.425
I totally love it.

00:04:13.425 --> 00:04:15.984
A plant-based party with a purpose, that's it.

00:04:15.984 --> 00:04:17.560
You just totally nailed it right there.

00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.540
So today, make sure that you leave your review, but be specific.

00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:24.560
It doesn't have to be long, it doesn't have to take you more than a minute.

00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:34.372
Share some specific things that you've had happen, the transformations in your life and what it's made possible for you that you can't, that you couldn't do before.

00:04:34.372 --> 00:04:35.805
I just love this so much.

00:04:35.805 --> 00:04:36.641
Okay.

00:04:36.641 --> 00:04:38.560
And then the next thing is this is step number two.

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.487
These are your two things you want to do today.

00:04:40.487 --> 00:04:54.406
I'm giving it before we even get into the episode, because on one plant-based, to be uncomplicated for you and for all those out there who are praying for the answer, to know what to do to make healthy living sustainable so they actually enjoy their lives.

00:04:54.406 --> 00:04:57.427
So step number two is go to poweronplantscom.

00:04:57.427 --> 00:05:02.560
Yeah, that's like P-I-E, the slice of pie that we all love to eat.

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.560
Yeah, we're plant-based and we still eat pie.

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.035
Don't kid yourselves.

00:05:06.035 --> 00:05:06.540
We eat the good stuff.

00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:08.560
This is why we don't feel deprived.

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.540
This is how you set yourself up for success.

00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:14.451
This is the pie you want to sink your teeth into today.

00:05:14.451 --> 00:05:21.560
Go to poweronplantscom, forward, slash P-I-E and join us in the podcast Insiders Experience.

00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.771
Jair and I look forward to meeting you there and getting to know you as an insider.

00:05:25.771 --> 00:05:29.487
As a part of our pop family, we have the most amazing fam.

00:05:29.487 --> 00:05:34.944
I mean there's no way that I can tell you and describe to you what each of you is like.

00:05:34.944 --> 00:05:40.550
We meet you, we know you and it's time for you to get to know one another.

00:05:40.550 --> 00:05:44.350
So go right now and join the podcast Insiders Experience.

00:05:44.350 --> 00:05:50.560
And today we are talking about when plant-based seems overwhelming, or just getting healthy in general.

00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:58.170
There are three simple ways to make it uncomplicated, and the first thing is it's our mentality.

00:05:58.170 --> 00:05:59.807
We think about diet.

00:05:59.807 --> 00:06:05.331
You even hear plant-based diet, jair, and I use those words sometimes because those are the words you're using.

00:06:05.331 --> 00:06:08.560
We use those words so you can find us, so you can understand.

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:14.309
But we don't normally walk around talking about how we're on a diet, because it's not a diet in the traditional sense.

00:06:14.309 --> 00:06:16.146
This is a lifestyle.

00:06:16.146 --> 00:06:20.540
Now, I know you've probably heard that said before and maybe you're tempted to fast forward through this, but don't.

00:06:20.540 --> 00:06:23.560
This is one of the most important things that we're sharing with you today.

00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:29.560
It's a mindset shift, because when you think diet, you think deprivation.

00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:40.471
I can't have this instead of how can I have this in a way that will love my body back, that will be beneficial to my health, that I will still enjoy?

00:06:40.471 --> 00:06:42.286
So think about it for a minute.

00:06:42.286 --> 00:06:45.560
Were Adam and Eve counting calories in the garden?

00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.540
Were they keeping up with macros in the garden?

00:06:48.540 --> 00:06:51.560
God didn't tell us to do these things.

00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:56.560
He didn't tell us to keep up with points or limit the amount of food on our plate.

00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:01.560
He did tell us the most beneficial foods for our bodies in Genesis 1.29.

00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.540
These are the foods you were created to thrive on.

00:07:04.540 --> 00:07:16.718
So what you've got to start asking yourself is how do I build the lifestyle where I'm getting more of these amazing foods into my life on a regular basis in the way that works for me?

00:07:16.850 --> 00:07:30.999
Back then, adam had no concept, as far as we know, of protein, carbohydrates, calcium, magnesium, all these different things that we tend to obsess upon, and they are important, but we don't have to obsess upon them.

00:07:30.999 --> 00:07:43.153
When we eat their foods that are abundant in these nutrients and we get a nice wide variety of these things on a regular basis, we get what we need, just like Adam and Eve back in the very beginning when they were in the garden.

00:07:43.329 --> 00:07:44.473
And even the protein.

00:07:44.473 --> 00:07:46.399
Please don't worry about the protein.

00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.838
You're getting the protein you need if you're getting the calories that you need on a daily basis.

00:07:50.838 --> 00:07:53.918
I don't know any of us who aren't getting the calories that we need.

00:07:53.918 --> 00:07:55.415
We're blessed in that way.

00:07:55.415 --> 00:08:03.675
We need to thank God for our blessings, that we have the ability to eat enough food to get the calories we need in a day, so we don't need to be worrying about protein.

00:08:03.675 --> 00:08:05.557
You just gotta drop that right here and let it go.

00:08:05.557 --> 00:08:15.795
And if you haven't heard our episodes about protein and you wanna know more about that, go back and listen to episode 215, debunking protein myths and unleashing the power of plant-based nutrition.

00:08:15.795 --> 00:08:20.014
Or 61, the shocking things you should know about protein combining.

00:08:20.014 --> 00:08:24.459
Or you might like 55, how do you get protein on a plant-based diet?

00:08:24.459 --> 00:08:27.454
These are just three of the episodes we've done about protein.

00:08:27.454 --> 00:08:32.775
So you've gotta drop these dieting mentality mindsets and get the mindset shift that you need.

00:08:32.775 --> 00:08:35.157
I need an enjoyable lifestyle.

00:08:35.157 --> 00:08:42.517
I don't need a diet that's gonna make me feel deprived and constantly be worrying about things that don't matter when I'm missing out on the things that do.

00:08:42.517 --> 00:09:02.576
Okay, let's say you're out eating, You're looking over the menu, counting calories, carbs, blah, blah, blah of all these things, worrying about what you're gonna eat Instead of going with a plan, knowing what you can eat that actually is beneficial and healthy for you, and not spending 20 minutes trying to decide while the conversation and the relationships are being built at the table around you.

00:09:02.576 --> 00:09:13.600
Calories, points, All these things are there, sucking you away from what really matters in your life, robbing you of the joy you were created to have around food.

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.777
Food is meant to fuel your body, and to fuel it well, not to be the thing that makes you sluggish.

00:09:18.777 --> 00:09:19.874
It gives you disease.

00:09:20.269 --> 00:09:21.355
And we were meant to enjoy it.

00:09:21.355 --> 00:09:30.636
And when you get it in a whole food, plant-based form where it's got all the flavor and the textures, it's just the goodness that's in it.

00:09:30.636 --> 00:09:31.860
It is enjoyable.

00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:34.217
So you absolutely can enjoy this way of living.

00:09:34.217 --> 00:09:41.634
And if for you diet's a four-letter word, remember we're going back to the old school way of using the word diet.

00:09:41.634 --> 00:09:50.716
It's a way of eating, it's not a deprivation, it's not that I can only have certain things or I can only have small portions of it.

00:09:50.716 --> 00:10:08.672
So we talk about the whole food, plant-based diet, but not dieting, because when you do it right, you can eat until you're satisfied, get what you need, but still be able to fight disease, still be able to get down to a normal weight and have the energy and do all those things that you want.

00:10:08.974 --> 00:10:19.331
Naturally, so the first step to getting away from the overwhelm when it comes to getting healthy is to run from regular diets and dieting mentality and to really enjoy eating more whole plant foods For me.

00:10:19.331 --> 00:10:27.712
For me, that means I can't be making things that take a lot of time or cause brain strain, so the meals have to be quick and easy to make.

00:10:27.712 --> 00:10:29.472
And you know what's more important to me.

00:10:29.472 --> 00:10:36.565
You know, if you've been around here very long, I've got to really enjoy how the meal tastes.

00:10:36.565 --> 00:10:45.520
Now maybe that's not as important to you as it is to me, but I grew up in a down-home barbecue restaurant, eating really tasty food from people who knew how to cook well.

00:10:45.520 --> 00:10:53.443
Now, I'm not gonna make you become a chef or learn how to do complicated things or use a bunch of crazy ingredients.

00:10:53.443 --> 00:10:54.821
That's not what I do.

00:10:54.821 --> 00:10:58.105
My specialty is making it simple and easy for you.

00:10:58.595 --> 00:11:01.583
But she's not gonna make it easy, but taste nasty.

00:11:01.583 --> 00:11:04.543
She is not gonna sacrifice flavor for ease.

00:11:04.754 --> 00:11:05.658
And that's the point here.

00:11:05.658 --> 00:11:17.140
It's got to taste good, and time and again that's when I see people buying our cookbook or they come into Power and Plant Society or group coaching program and they're freaking out OMG, this tastes so good.

00:11:17.140 --> 00:11:19.259
What in the world when has this been all my life?

00:11:19.259 --> 00:11:20.519
Where's this Alfredo sauce been?

00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:21.679
Where's this tomato sauce been?

00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:30.678
Are you seriously telling me I can make potato chips that taste like Pringles, really, without any oil, in about two minutes in my home, without any special ingredients?

00:11:30.678 --> 00:11:32.485
Yes, you can, it's not hard.

00:11:32.485 --> 00:11:36.240
All these things that you love, I love good milk.

00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.460
Gotta be able to have milk on my oats, or just a glass of it.

00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:40.821
I want it to actually taste good.

00:11:40.821 --> 00:11:43.884
I think about a story from just yesterday.

00:11:43.884 --> 00:11:54.143
No joke, our 11 year old daughter blew our minds, so she has been working on tweaking a recipe that she actually came up with because I was trying to eat less sweet.

00:11:54.143 --> 00:12:09.961
Now, I don't have a known gluten sensitivity or anything like that, but a lot of our members don't eat wheat or they do have gluten sensitivities, and so I'm constantly looking for ways to make things easier and simpler for them, and most of our recipes either are gluten free or they have a gluten free option.

00:12:09.961 --> 00:12:17.580
So she decided she was going to tweak our chocolate cake recipe and make something similar and make like a chocolate cupcake.

00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:23.020
For me that's gluten free and she's been working it for a little while and it's been really good.

00:12:23.020 --> 00:12:28.684
But last night she upped her game and can I tell you we were freaking out.

00:12:28.684 --> 00:12:32.480
It met that criteria that all the recipes make before they go into our cookbook.

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:36.960
And I told her this is going into the membership this week or next week.

00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.120
It is going in Like as soon as we get it written down.

00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:39.721
It's in there.

00:12:39.721 --> 00:12:50.284
But the funny thing was so I take it to Jared and it's got our chocolate icing on it and he's diving in and you just hear hmm, this is so, oh, this is amazing.

00:12:50.284 --> 00:12:51.167
Who made this?

00:12:51.167 --> 00:12:52.220
Where did this come from?

00:12:52.220 --> 00:12:58.605
And of course I was telling him Kate made it and so he makes this comment and I was just dying laughing.

00:12:58.605 --> 00:12:59.458
It was so funny.

00:12:59.894 --> 00:13:06.658
Well, there's a comedian that we heard a few years ago, but we heard it again recently, where he's kind of poking fun at a vegan bakery.

00:13:06.658 --> 00:13:12.203
In his comedy routine he talks about walking by a bakery and it looks amazing and delicious and he walks in.

00:13:12.203 --> 00:13:21.500
And his mouth's watering and he's looking at everything in the bakery case, and so he asked what the particular pastry was that he was interested in, and they said it was a root beer float doughnut.

00:13:21.500 --> 00:13:22.703
She said do you want one?

00:13:22.703 --> 00:13:27.042
He said, no, I want two, but only put one in the bag because the other one's not making it out of this store.

00:13:27.042 --> 00:13:36.565
So he gets it in hand, he takes a bite and then on stage he just shows this face oh, like it was horrible, like it was bland, no flavor.

00:13:36.894 --> 00:13:38.341
She notices what he's doing.

00:13:38.615 --> 00:13:42.046
Yes, he said, sir, did you know this was a vegan bakery?

00:13:42.046 --> 00:13:43.861
And he says no, I did not.

00:13:43.861 --> 00:13:45.941
And then he makes some other jokes and all that.

00:13:45.941 --> 00:13:55.580
But last night I told Anita, I said, if Josh Snead had bitten into this, that would have completely ruined his whole comedy routine, because this is delicious.

00:13:55.580 --> 00:14:00.524
This is moist, has the perfect consistency and he would have never known.

00:14:00.634 --> 00:14:01.679
He would have never known.

00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:08.322
And that's what we aim for with all our recipes, and that's what I want you to aim for when you're coming up with your new favorites.

00:14:08.322 --> 00:14:12.919
Your goal is to find your new favorites, not to find something that might kind of sort of work for you.

00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:14.719
No, you want your new favorites.

00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:15.299
Don't settle.

00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:16.884
No, if you love chili, you don't have to.

00:14:17.264 --> 00:14:18.226
You don't have to.

00:14:18.226 --> 00:14:22.260
If you love chili, you gotta find a darn good chili that you like just as much or even more.

00:14:22.260 --> 00:14:25.183
If you like chips, you better be finding your chips up.

00:14:25.183 --> 00:14:27.081
Or a cracker sub, if you like crackers.

00:14:27.081 --> 00:14:34.422
If you like lasagna, if you like Alfredo sauce, if you like Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana, you know I gotta have my creamy, cheesy things.

00:14:34.422 --> 00:14:36.039
We've talked about that before.

00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.523
Find those things that you like.

00:14:38.523 --> 00:14:40.422
That's how you're gonna set yourself up.

00:14:40.422 --> 00:14:59.822
So you've got to run from regular dining mentality and start focusing on how to create replacements, how to create the things, and start focusing on how do you find the enjoyable way to get the most nutrient, dense foods on the planet into your life, the things that will work with your busy schedule.

00:14:59.822 --> 00:15:01.020
That lights you up.

00:15:01.020 --> 00:15:03.100
You gotta have recipes that light you up.

00:15:03.100 --> 00:15:06.162
It's gotta be quick and easy, it's gotta work, but it's gotta light you up.

00:15:06.162 --> 00:15:07.057
It's gotta taste good.

00:15:07.057 --> 00:15:11.946
Number two never leave an empty place.

00:15:11.946 --> 00:15:13.740
This is a biblical principle.

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:22.360
Okay, you do not wanna leave an empty hole where something bad once was in your life, because it's gonna come back with a vengeance and it's gonna bite your behind.

00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:28.163
I'm just saying this is probably one of the biggest things that sabotages people's attempt to go whole food plant based.

00:15:28.163 --> 00:15:32.514
So I have something that they just absolutely love and maybe holds memories.

00:15:32.514 --> 00:15:34.400
We talked about that in prior episodes.

00:15:34.400 --> 00:15:40.217
Maybe it reminds them of grandma's Thanksgiving dish, of something, and so then you're left with this whole.

00:15:40.217 --> 00:15:50.573
But if you don't find something to put back in its place maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but eventually you're going to go back to that thing and think I just want it so badly.

00:15:50.573 --> 00:15:55.480
I'll have it one time, and then you fall back into the same routine and then-.

00:15:55.480 --> 00:16:03.442
You quote, fall off the wagon Fall off the wagon and now that may happen once or twice, and we've covered that on other episodes as well.

00:16:03.442 --> 00:16:15.177
You haven't really truly fallen off the wagon, but in this case, if you're just trying to start, these things can and will sabotage your attempt if you're not aware of it and you don't plan for it ahead of time.

00:16:15.177 --> 00:16:21.322
So you find that one thing, think, okay, how can I make this plant-based so that I enjoy it just as much or even more?

00:16:21.322 --> 00:16:24.900
Because we found so many things that we love even more than the original.

00:16:26.494 --> 00:16:34.278
So you take the thing that you used to love, you get it out of your life, or out of your life in that way, and you find its new replacement.

00:16:34.278 --> 00:16:37.238
You've got to put something back in its place.

00:16:37.238 --> 00:16:39.596
That's the whole point.

00:16:39.596 --> 00:16:45.900
It's not what I can't have anymore, it's what can I have that I will like just as much or even better.

00:16:45.900 --> 00:16:58.216
That's going to love my body back, and what I mean by that is it's going to actually fuel you well, so that you feel better, so that you can start living the full active life that God put you here to live.

00:16:58.691 --> 00:17:07.130
That's what we're after, and I think key number two here is probably the biggest thing that leads to success in doing a whole food, plant-based lifestyle.

00:17:07.269 --> 00:17:11.499
I would say that in being in community, you have an absolutely 100% got to be in community.

00:17:11.499 --> 00:17:27.076
Those are huge things, but if you're talking about just the food and the steps you're going to take with the food, absolutely this is it Never leave an empty space or a hole where something you loved once was Because you're going to dream about that thing, you're going to go crazy on that thing.

00:17:27.076 --> 00:17:28.194
Then you're going to feel guilty.

00:17:28.194 --> 00:17:31.519
That goes back to step number one, that's dieting mentality.

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:37.058
You don't have to give up the great stuff and not only do you not have to and you're going to find your new favorites.

00:17:37.058 --> 00:17:39.999
You're going to find new favorites you didn't even have before.

00:17:39.999 --> 00:17:44.638
That's not replacing anything else, it's just something brand new you didn't even know existed.

00:17:44.638 --> 00:17:51.317
You're going to be trying different things and finding things you love that were not even on your radar.

00:17:51.317 --> 00:17:53.436
That's the beauty of eating this way.

00:17:53.436 --> 00:17:56.415
You think, oh, I'm going to be limited, I'm only going to be able to eat this or that.

00:17:56.415 --> 00:17:59.420
No, your horizons are about to expand, girl.

00:17:59.420 --> 00:18:01.376
Your horizons are about to expand.

00:18:01.376 --> 00:18:07.778
Mark my words when you learn how to do this the right way, it only gets better over time.

00:18:07.778 --> 00:18:13.076
I wish I could line up right now and put in front of this microphone every single one of my members for you.

00:18:13.076 --> 00:18:15.798
Every one of them will tell you the exact same thing.

00:18:15.798 --> 00:18:19.580
It's just going to keep getting better over time.

00:18:19.580 --> 00:18:20.453
That's how it is.

00:18:20.453 --> 00:18:23.647
When you find the right way to do this, it just gets better and better.

00:18:23.647 --> 00:18:28.836
And step number three focus on growing your list of new favorite recipes.

00:18:28.836 --> 00:18:33.858
We touched on this a little bit just then, but we call them recipes and unrecipes.

00:18:33.858 --> 00:18:36.117
This is something Jair and I are really big on.

00:18:36.117 --> 00:18:39.116
So this is the food formulas like how do you make bowls?

00:18:39.116 --> 00:18:40.079
How do you make a salad bowl?

00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:41.041
How do you make a grain bowl?

00:18:41.041 --> 00:18:42.075
How do you make sandwiches?

00:18:42.075 --> 00:18:43.455
What are your food formulas?

00:18:43.455 --> 00:18:45.676
We have specific food formulas that we teach.

00:18:45.676 --> 00:18:47.214
You need to learn those.

00:18:47.214 --> 00:18:48.275
Those are unrecipes.

00:18:48.275 --> 00:18:51.616
These are some of the things you make when you don't even have time for a recipe.

00:18:51.616 --> 00:18:54.298
That is, by definition, unrecipes.

00:18:54.298 --> 00:19:00.238
This is the term that we use all the time to describe what you make when you don't have time.

00:19:00.238 --> 00:19:01.000
You're busy.

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.712
We don't always have time to pull out a recipe and measure stuff.

00:19:03.712 --> 00:19:07.140
You might have a go-to list of these unrecipes, though.

00:19:07.140 --> 00:19:21.714
I want you to get them on your go-to favorites list because and you can jot down what you put in there these are some of my favorite ingredients, or here are my brainstorms about some things that I can do with this in the future, because if you don't put down the ideas, you're gonna forget what you did.

00:19:21.714 --> 00:19:28.153
I don't care if it's your favorite avocado toast, I don't care if you love that combo so much on your baked potato you think you're never gonna forget it.

00:19:28.153 --> 00:19:28.976
You will.

00:19:28.976 --> 00:19:36.595
You will Because you're gonna be busy, you're gonna come into the door and you're gonna have a little brain space and you're gonna be flustered and you're not gonna know what to eat.

00:19:36.595 --> 00:19:42.555
And if you just got a list of stuff, you can pull up this recipes and done, recipes that you don't even have to measure out.

00:19:42.555 --> 00:19:49.897
You just got these food formulas in there of this plus this plus this plus this, boom done and you're done in dinners on the table in 10 minutes.

00:19:49.897 --> 00:19:55.598
You can't even sit in a fast food drive-thru and get something and bring it home and eat it that fast.

00:19:55.598 --> 00:19:58.479
That's the reality of living the power on plant's way.

00:19:58.690 --> 00:20:00.778
We even had that very same thing.

00:20:00.778 --> 00:20:10.940
We were going back through our community, kind of looking back in a couple years ago, and you had even found a couple recipes or, I'm sorry, unrecipes and you forgot about them.

00:20:10.940 --> 00:20:21.496
That's why we're now doing hashtag unrecipe in our community, because our entire community is searchable, so you just type in hashtag unrecipe and then boom, you've got that entire list.

00:20:21.615 --> 00:20:29.816
But yeah, jared's talking about the community that's in power on plant society or group coaching program, because we set it up intentionally for everything to be searchable.

00:20:29.816 --> 00:20:37.032
So all the words are searchable, but all the videos are searchable too, so you can find those recipes and unrecipes when you need them.

00:20:37.032 --> 00:20:38.377
And this is key.

00:20:38.377 --> 00:20:42.998
And what he's saying is we share these things with you because we've forgotten in the past.

00:20:43.390 --> 00:20:44.315
We know by experience.

00:20:44.470 --> 00:20:52.115
I'm sharing this because just recently, like within the past year or so, we've started writing down our unrecipes and keeping a list of them somewhere.

00:20:52.115 --> 00:20:56.978
That works for us, that I can easily pull those back up and I'm still going back and adding to those.

00:20:56.978 --> 00:21:02.276
Well, just this week I was going back through the community and looking at it and going I cannot believe we've forgotten this.

00:21:02.276 --> 00:21:03.939
So I was watching old replays.

00:21:03.490 --> 00:21:04.278
There was something a couple of years ago.

00:21:04.589 --> 00:21:06.458
Even replays of the coaching programs.

00:21:06.458 --> 00:21:09.612
And then I tagged a couple of our members about it and they're going.

00:21:09.612 --> 00:21:10.935
I totally forgot I did this.

00:21:10.935 --> 00:21:11.858
I didn't remember.

00:21:11.858 --> 00:21:13.134
I totally forgot about this meal.

00:21:13.134 --> 00:21:14.615
I'm totally making this again.

00:21:14.615 --> 00:21:21.657
I said, girl, get it on your unrecipe list, Get it on your go-to favorites list so that you won't forget about it again.

00:21:21.657 --> 00:21:29.155
Keeping this list of go-to favorites is going to keep you from forgetting the things that you absolutely love the most, that you think you're never going to forget.

00:21:29.155 --> 00:21:31.333
But you are, you are.

00:21:31.333 --> 00:21:34.876
It just happens we only have so much brain space in the day.

00:21:35.430 --> 00:21:44.255
Think of this as the equivalent of your mother or grandmother's three-ring binder just stuff full of all those papers, kind of halfway hanging out with all those different recipes.

00:21:44.255 --> 00:21:51.278
This is the modern version of that Creating on your phone, on, like you've mentioned, like a Word document.

00:21:51.278 --> 00:21:53.256
We have our favorite app that we keep it in.

00:21:53.256 --> 00:21:53.978
We have a Love that.

00:21:54.990 --> 00:21:59.977
Yeah, we have the course built in to the community where we teach all about how do you go through this app and how do you make it super simple.

00:21:59.977 --> 00:22:05.316
But if you're just getting started, get it into notes or into Word or in a notebook, whatever works best for you.

00:22:05.316 --> 00:22:07.698
The key is to just get started.

00:22:07.698 --> 00:22:08.973
Just do it.

00:22:08.973 --> 00:22:13.578
Do it today, start today, think, don't think I have all these things I'm making.

00:22:13.578 --> 00:22:16.855
Or don't think I don't even know where to start, because I'm just now starting plant-based.

00:22:16.855 --> 00:22:18.836
I've tried like one thing and I didn't like it.

00:22:18.836 --> 00:22:22.473
That's okay, because there are many things out there that you are gonna love.

00:22:22.473 --> 00:22:27.837
When you get the right recipes and un-recipes in your hand, it is going to blow your mind.

00:22:27.837 --> 00:22:29.516
Look, it still happens to us.

00:22:29.516 --> 00:22:32.936
Our daughter blew our mind with these chocolate muffins last night.

00:22:32.936 --> 00:22:34.414
It just never gets old.

00:22:34.414 --> 00:22:38.615
That's why we get so excited and so pumped up about this and we're saying do this, just do it.

00:22:38.615 --> 00:22:40.415
Just take that step, girl, just do it.

00:22:40.415 --> 00:23:04.797
This is why Because we know that when you start taking action and you get yourself inside that community where people are doing the same thing, you're gonna learn and grow together in ways you never could have done by yourself and you're gonna start feeling better and, as a result, start living the life you were created to live, being active and doing those things that you've wanted to do for so long.

00:23:04.797 --> 00:23:12.257
So if you're feeling overwhelmed and you just think I don't know how to make health uncomplicated, I want to heal.

00:23:12.257 --> 00:23:12.939
Naturally.

00:23:12.939 --> 00:23:20.477
I wanna get to the root of my health problems and stop having to rely on medicine after medicine and medicines to deal with those medicines.

00:23:20.477 --> 00:23:22.316
This is how you do it.

00:23:22.316 --> 00:23:26.401
Step one make plant-based sustainable.

00:23:26.401 --> 00:23:27.795
You've got this.

00:23:27.795 --> 00:23:31.881
We've told you exactly how to do that on this exact episode.

00:23:31.881 --> 00:23:35.780
And step number two is never leave an empty space.

00:23:35.780 --> 00:23:40.638
You are going to fill that hole with some plant-based goodness that you are going to love.

00:23:40.638 --> 00:23:41.934
Girl, it's gonna light you up.

00:23:41.934 --> 00:23:48.638
Step number three is focus on growing your list of new favorite recipes and unrecipes.

00:23:48.638 --> 00:23:50.256
We are all about this.

00:23:50.256 --> 00:23:51.272
Well, how do you do that?

00:23:51.272 --> 00:23:52.377
Where do you start?

00:23:52.377 --> 00:23:54.438
First, get the Power On Plants Cookbook.

00:23:54.438 --> 00:23:58.175
If you think I don't know what to do, go right now to poweronplantscom.

00:23:58.175 --> 00:24:02.901
Forward slash cookbook and get your copy and start cooking your way through it.

00:24:02.901 --> 00:24:04.075
Find your new favorites.

00:24:04.075 --> 00:24:05.596
Oh well, I like Delfreda Sauce.

00:24:05.596 --> 00:24:06.433
I'm gonna start there.

00:24:06.433 --> 00:24:09.038
Or maybe you're thinking I love beef stew?

00:24:09.038 --> 00:24:11.076
Well, we're gonna show you how to make beefless stew.
