00:32 – SPEAKER – JOSEPHINE 

Hi everyone, welcome to the Love to Live Healthy Show. I’m Josephine Fitzpatrick. This week’s episode is I Want the Change. Yes, I want to change. The first day of summer is June 21st, which is approximately five weeks from the time I’m doing this podcast, and while five weeks isn’t a long time, it’s long enough to make changes in your life. Think of it this way you can either go into summer feeling like you do now maybe not so great, a little out of control or you can go in feeling your best, feeling like you’re working towards your goal, feeling amazing because you are in control. Those are your choices, and we always have choices. I say this all the time. But today I’m talking about more than choices. I’m talking about want. 

01:20

Yes, so many times in my podcast I would say it’s a choice to stay on or go off, or I would say your results are in your choices. You know you always have the choice of what your results are going to be, but it has to be more than a choice. It has to be a want. You need to want to stay on program. You need to want to live healthy. You need to want to be thin, fit and strong. You need to want to fit in your skinny clothes. You need to want to wear a bathing suit without feeling uncomfortable. It has to be a want for you to achieve this, because weight loss is hard, so you have to want it. It has to be more than just a choice. 

01:56

I did a little short message yesterday and it was really about you wanting this, wanting to change and, most of all, being fed up with going off program, being fed up with cheating and overindulging. You know letting yourself down over and over. Think about it, even at times you don’t tell me about how many times you grabbed a little something extra or indulged in a little something extra more than you should have. You know, maybe it’s even bigger portions of healthy food, but all those times you keep giving into your temptations. These are the times that keep holding you back. They are holding you back from what you want and eventually you will get fed up with yourself and be done. And I tell clients all the time I see it, all the time you see it in the podcasts you know eventually it will click. That’s the switch in your brain that you are so done with sabotaging yourself. You’re so done with all the little extras that really mean nothing. You’re giving them to yourself and they don’t make you feel better. They don’t make you feel any change. When you have those little extras, those little indulgences, they are holding you back. They’re not helping you. 

It’s one of the reasons why I do the podcast with all the clients. I want you to see how many people go through what you go through, but they do amazing. It’s because I want you to see they had challenges, they had struggles, they had moments of weaknesses, just like you did, and sometimes, you know, I do have some sharks that just pull it off immediately, but most are turtles. They go slower, but at the end of the day, everyone gets to the finish line. Whether you’re the shark or the turtle, you just can’t give up on yourself. You have to keep going. I know how hard it can feel and I can’t stress enough you have to keep going.

03:38

One of the most important things you can do is change your appetite. When you shrink your appetite, you will shrink your body. That’s how it works. That’s why the five hour and the detox are so important. They don’t give you just a boost in your weight loss, they help you shrink your appetite. So you’re getting both the boost of your weight loss, but you’re also shrinking your appetite. And when you can shrink your appetite. That’s what’s going to change your life. That’s what’s going to change your mindset. That’s what’s going to change how you look and feel. 

04:08

Most people don’t even realize I created the five-hour fast. There’s so many fasts out there, but I created the five-hour fast. I did so many tests and I realized that fasting is great, but if you’re not in the five hours, you’re not going to see the results you want. You’re working so hard and you won’t see those results. But if you look around and you look at all my clients, you will see they live on the five hour and it’s because they’re at their lowest numbers ever. But not only just that, but they also have the lowest body fat they’ve ever had. And even for those who don’t work out, their body fat is still so low. 

Most importantly, it shrinks your appetite first. It shrinks your appetite. It helps you lose the weight, but it’s not just water weight, it’s body fat weight and that’s the key. That’s why the change is so significant. 

04:56

Now, the only thing about the five hour and the detox is, if you have been out of control, you can’t just start doing them. You know you can’t just jump to the five hour or the detox, because you can’t go from eating everything to nothing. You will never last. You will give in. So my advice to anyone who wants to try it, that have been a little bit out of control or maybe out of control for a week or a year start with the signature innovation. Start with your three meals and two snacks. Master that for two to three weeks, then start the five hour or the detox, and alternate between them to see what you’re comfortable with. Now I just want to go over the differences of the detox and the five-hour. 

05:34

The detox is great for a quick one or two-week boost or even a day or two boost. I do that all the time with clients. You can’t really live on it every single week, but what I have a lot of clients do is they will either do it every week the day before cheat day and the day after cheat day it works amazing and they’ll do the five hour in between. It really brings that whole week together with the five hours, okay.

So basically you have your cheat meal. Then you do the detox the day after you cheat, then you do the 5 hour for 4 days and then the detox again the day before you cheat. 

Or you can do it for one week before vacation and one week after vacation, you know, just to kind of set you up for vacation and then recover from vacation. It works amazing. Or you can just throw it in a week when you feel like you need a little boost in your numbers, when you’re feeling a little stuck, I tell people do a detox week, it’ll get you to that next number.  

06:18

Now the five hour is different because you can live on it. I have clients live on it permanently. I live on it all the time. I love it. It’s two meals and one snack and you do it in the same five hours every week, monday through Friday. Now, although some clients will do it Saturday and Sunday and they’ll even keep their cheat in it, because they just love that control, they love how it makes them feel. I do it Monday through Friday. My weekends are always so busy, so I kind of go back to the signature innovation on the weekend with my cheat. But it’s entirely up to you. Most people do have busy weekends. 

06:49

So I say focus on the Monday through Friday, especially to start with the five hours. Remember you can’t change your five hours daily, you can change them weekly. So say, for example, you decide to do 1pm to 7pm this week, but next week you want to do two to eight. That’s great. You can do that as long as your five days are the same. But you can’t do like one to seven today and then two to eight tomorrow. That won’t work. And the reason it won’t work is because with the five hour, the whole process is fat burn, and the fat burn happens when you give yourself the 19 hours each day to force your body to feed off its own fat. That can only happen if you start and finish the same time every day for five days straight. That’s what gives you the 19 hours each day. 

07:32

Now the biggest difference with the detox and the five hour is the five hour focuses really a hundred percent on body fat loss. It’s not just water weight, it’s not weight that you just see on the scale, it’s actual body fat. That’s why everyone that does it tells you even when they lose one pound, they felt like it was three to five pounds, because it’s not water weight, it’s fat off your body and that is permanent and it makes all the difference in how you look and feel. 

Now remember, when you’re fasting for 19 hours, your body has to take from its own body fat to feed off of. It’s the one program that will really not only shrink your appetite but it will shrink your body fat with it. Now, of course it’s challenging, but it’s only challenging for a week or two, like anything else you do. After that, I promise you will love it. Everyone that does it tells me after I can’t believe how much I love this. I’m staying on it and they do. What happens is you will have control of your appetite instead of it having control over you, and that makes all the difference. 

I love the detox. I love the five hour Remember the five hour you can live on. The detox you throw in. It gives you that boost in between. A great, great week is to do a detox day after cheat day, then the five hour for four or five days, then detox before cheat day. 

Okay, so it’s detox to start, detox to end, five hour in between. It works amazing. You will see the most amazing weight loss with that. 

08:58

Listen, the end of spring and the beginning of summer it always brings many, many, many changes and challenges in your life. Most of them very happy, but still challenging. We all know when it comes to overeating and sabotaging, it doesn’t have to be over something sad. Sometimes it can just be even difficult when it’s celebrations, vacations, parties, planning for things. Whether you have been amazing on program or you are struggling. It’s so important that you find your strength and you use the tools of the five hour and the detox and continue to use it to do the right things, because over the next week and over the next month, you want to feel your best mentally and physically going into the summer.

09:36

Most of the time how you enter the summer is how you will stay. Most people maintain or gain in the summer not very many will lose, we know this. We know this from experience. So, for the rest of spring and going into summer, I want you to believe and own your strength, own your want. Remember you want this. No one’s forcing you. You have to want this. Keep things simple. Follow your plan, whether you’re on the signature innovation, the five-hour or the detox. Follow your plan.

09:59

You know there will be challenges going into summer. There always are this time of year, with school ending, graduations, kids leaving for camp. I see the clients all the time coming in. They’re so stressed. You know the celebrations of summer will even be extra challenging, but you also know that you will get through them on program if you want to. It’s all about what you want. Don’t use them as another excuse to have an off day or an off week we always have that in our life. You have to look at each challenging day and know that you are stronger than anything that can possibly get in your way, because you want this, you need this, you want this. Remember, you have to want this for it to happen. Yes, it’s a choice, but it has to be a want. 

10:46

So, whether it’s the innovation, five-hour or detox, each week you will have your plan. You will prepare your meals and snacks and you will know where you’re going and what you’re eating and what you’re doing. Okay, very important, you will not go through another summer in a place that you’re uncomfortable and sad. You will not let another week go by without changing who you are and who you want to be. You know deep down that you are strong and you can do this. More importantly, you want it. Don’t let anything or anyone get in your way. 

11:16

Always remember people who truly love you want this for you as much as you do. They know how being on program keeps you feeling the best about yourself and your body, and they know what makes you happy and they want that for you. They want happiness for you. So those are the people that are in your corner. Okay, those are the ones that want this for you as much as you do. Everyone else you push aside and ignore this week and this month and this summer. The challenges will be there, but you will be different. There will be no slip ups, no excuses, not this time. You won’t do that. You won’t let it happen. 

11:51

You know how important it is that you go into summer feeling your very best, even if you are not at goal or close to it. Knowing that you are on your way is what matters most. You need and want to go into summer feeling good, feeling strong, and knowing that every day you put your mind and body into is another day is closer to where you want to be. Every day you’re getting closer to where you want to be. Every good day leads to another good day. I’m reminding you that you are no different than anyone else. You see all the clients who do it, all the clients that feel amazing. You want it and you want to be amazing. You want to feel amazing. You have to remember everyone works hard for it. Keep working hard. We all have our own challenges. You can’t let those challenges get in the way of what you want and how you want to feel. If you believe in yourself and focus on your strengths to do all the right things, it will happen. 

12:49

Do not give in and do not feel sorry for yourself over food. It’s not worth it. Instead, I want you to embrace it and feel empowered and proud of yourself for being prepared and choosing to stay on program, because that is what you want and that is what makes you happy. You want to be happy and you know feeling good makes you happy. Every day, you will be another day closer to the body you want and the person you want to be. I know you can do it. You know you can do it, so get out of your way, stop sabotaging yourself and do it. 

Okay, that is all I have for you. I hope this helps and I’m wishing you all a healthy, happy week full of blessings and love.  Hugs from me to all of you.
