So Anna, thank you so much for being here,

Thanks for having me. Ladies, tell us what processed foods and what a bad diet like does to us, you know what I mean, Like some people don't really realize what we're doing to ourselves. Inflammation number one, It will have you inflamed, bloated, like chronic bloating joints, hurting, uh,

smelling differently, bo. I mean it comes right out with alcohol, right you go on the night before the next day, you're like, well, right, the same thing with processed foods, you age more, your skin elessicity isn't s tight um Yeah, and then you know you're not hydrated, you have a harder time moving, your sluggish and really that affects your whole mood. So depression maybe a side effect insomnia, not sleeping or sleeping too much. So it's really you know

what you're eating, it's food is medicine. Really, could you tell us like a few things, I don't know, three or five items for people to try to avoid at all costs, and then maybe like three to five that you should definitely try to incorporate on a daily basis. So pizza, which one like the avoid avoid avoid pizza? Yeah, like like every other day, you can't eat pizza every

other day's protein. Cheese is protein? Right, Yeah. But a lot of people, even as adults, are walking around their lactose intolerant, they have no idea why oh I am and I know it and I don't even care, And I'm like, okay, so, but I have a question, like what about like California crust pizza. Okay, I haven't had that, but what is that healthier. I mean, that's a California cauliflower. Again,

that's a healthier alternative. You can try to mimic the bad foods to something that's different that you're going to cook at home, that you have control over with the condiments. Okay, a lot of the time is more of the condiments more than anything and stuff that makes it taste good. Yeah, but I pizza, but cheese on pizza is like he like, it's so heavy they drink it, which is why it's so good, right, yeah, Um, ice cream and alcohol. Stay away from ice cream and alcohol. I water, I know

so well, ice cream is dairy, right yeah. So so we're just kind of all day if you can, but not all You don't have to cut it out, but you know, be mindful, right Okay, And so why why I know alcohol is like really bad. It's just calories. You don't need calories. Okay, it's just you know that. But I mean, but if you're drinking it straight and taking to the head right with a little bit of lime, that's different. Okay, Okay, So it's healthier alternative, wails exactly.

I can do that exactly. That's how we live our lives, right, right, Okay, so that's four, give us more. Um, let's see what to avoid just eating out like the McDonald's, the the fast food, the chicken nuggets, all that is trash. Like I remember, I haven't had McDonald's in such a long time, and two years ago ahead McDonald's and I immediately I was in a food coma. I went straight to sleep.

I was like, that's not normal. They are naturally putting things in your foods to make you feel that way, but it's addictive if they're fries are like out of control. Although there really I don't even like their friends. I don't like their fries them. Okay, alright, so and so what should we incorporate? What you know, more water number one, more greens, dark water. How do you feel like or

how important is to put like limb. I always see like whatever you want to do, you can even put raspberries, blueberries, anything to make it cute for you to you know, get a little flavor. Yeah, not even to give it flavor, but like is it important? Like is lemon? Is lemon something that's it's different detoxication? Yeah, yeah, so people do that for that, but I just drink it straight. If you can tolerate. Some people naturally don't like that it's too plain, and so they me too. It's so good,

you know. I remember when I was in college for what, I don't know why, Like I and I used to I used to drink juice and soda like Cherry Coke, all this stuff all the time in college. And for whatever reason, one day I was just like, I'm going to stop drinking soda and juice and I'm just going to drink water. And I did that, and I literally lost like fifteen pounds immediately. That's crazy, right, that's crazy. Yeah, shouldn't. And I never looked back. So now it's like, you know,

I drink water for the most part of it. I drink a juice or something. It's like I don't know, like I'm just for whatever, you know. Sometimes you ever just like I just wanted some juice. Yes, you know, I don't know what I'm like lacking at that time like that. Maybe I'm just like all my period or something. Maybe again again, being mindful of how your body is reacting, right, and when sometimes I like to drop things down, like why am I feeling like this? I'm bloated, I haven't

eaten blah blah. And then sometimes I'm like, oh, I'm hungry. But that's a good tip, like like taking note of how your body is feeling when you're feeling a little off exactly like that. And maybe you were having cravings because of your one week out or that time. Can we go back to the stuff to avoid? Um? What do you think about corn? Corn? Because I hear bad things about corn. It's hard to digest. Corn is hard to digest, it doesn't kernel breaks up in your system. Yeah,

I mean I think moderation. Yeah, I don't like to restrict or you know, it's not cold turkey. The whole progress over perfection. So eat it sometimes but not too much. Okay, just keep that in mind, got it all right? Water, water, corporate dark leafy greens, any kale, color greens, spinach, any of to cook. Cook the kale, you can definitely. It takes out a little bit of the nutritional value aspect

of it. Raw. I think it's probably better. But if you can't, like, I don't like salads, so I really just add a little bit of bone broth or chicken broth and then that's it. Garlic and then called it. You don't like that, what are you talking about? Cooking my greens? Saute bone broth? Yes? How is that? It's like bone like chicken broth? VEGGI have you heard of bone broth? Yeah? I cook my when I cook my kale,

I cook it in chicken broth, So I mean it's similar. Okay, yeah, I heard the bone broth is a bone from It is like the broth from chicken. Yes, okay, okay. Sometimes I do put olive oil on it and put it in the oven. Yeah, that's good. Good, Yeah, you can do that for your kill chips. Yes, asparagus which is like my number one go to natural diuretic. Really, I have like a treat meal the night before next day,

I'm eating asparagus. How many spears? Like how much? I would say, like I would say six or seven spears? Are three ounces? That's good for one? You know, sitting I do like double or triple sometimes. Really? Yeah, what asparagus do? It's a natural diretic. It's just my shoes sort of like flush your system exactly. Actually like that you slow, that's that's good. So you ever cheat meal if you ate bad the day before, then try to get some, but don't give it to your man. Correct, Yes,

because it makes their stuff. Yeah it doesn't. Yeah. Do you not eat asparagus? That's why my kids life changing? Life change. Yes, Okay, I'll get something. You should try it now, okay. And I like to cook mine and you tell me this, Okay, I'll put the oven on like four hundreds. It's like to roast um, yeah, drizzlelement. I'll have little Himalayan or coachy salt crack bla black pepper, a little bit of garlic something, and um, put them in the oven. What about like I don't know, twelve

minutes or something. I like my little crunch and then they're really good. So is that good? That's perfect perfection. I like mine steamed. I like I'm super bland. Though. I find that the more seasons I use, the more cravings I have. So to eliminate that when I'm trying to lose weight, I don't use any season. So my chicken, my fish, my salmon, I just put it straight into

the oven. Well nothing. Yeah. And I know when I was working out with Anna, Anna would actually cook food from Oh my god, I forgot about that and would bring them to the gym and we put in her back and it was like this, hell, it was all that healthy, bland stuff, and I was like, but how did you feel? I know she hated it, didn't you? Did you eat it? I hated it? I mean I ate it, but I hated it. But how did you feel during did you feel good or the same? I'm

sure I felt good. I can't even remember. I can't. Trauma, okay, trauma? So did you give us? Five? One? So water darkly for greens, asparagus, um fruit right, Fruit's good, grapefruit again, natural diuretic. Any type of fruit is better than anything sweet right again, progress over perfection. And then last one. I would just say moving, work, working out, get sweat. I don't care what you have to. Get up off the couch, go outside and walk while it's hot. Maybe

you're sweating from this. Get those toxins out through your boards. We hope you enjoyed that Reasonably Shady highlight.
