Hi everyone! Today is Day 3 for me - officially finished the 2 days of loading over the weekend! 🥳 I am finding I miss my coffee. I know I can still have it, but it’s not the same drinking it black. How are you enjoying your coffee ☕️ on the program? Are there any non-dairy approved options?

FAST40 Approved Lean Cuts of Steak 1. Sirloin – top sirloin is a go-to; lean, affordable, easy to find 2. Eye of Round – one of the leanest cuts in the whole store 3. Bottom Round – great for slow cooking 4. Top Round – solid lean option, often labeled “London Broil” 5. Flank Steak – lean and flavorful, just slice it thin 6. Skirt Steak – similar to flank, great for quick cooking 7. Tenderloin / Filet Mignon – naturally low in fat, the gold standard 8. Strip Loin (NY Strip) – leaner than ribeye, still satisfying 9. Tri-Tip – leaner than most, very versatile The FAST40 Rule of Thumb: Look for cuts with the word “round” or “loin” in the name, those are almost always your leanest options at any grocery store. Avoid ribeye and T-bone if fat loss is the priority, those are marbled heavily, which means more fat stored, and that works against turning on your fat furnace!

Good morning, everyone. Today is Wednesday, May 27th. Just checking in to see how you’re feeling and functioning today. Also, several people tried getting on the call yesterday. I was traveling and attempted to still run the call, but the service was too weak to support it. We’ll resume our Tuesday call series next week. Right now we’re going through hormone changes and what actually happens to the body through our 30s, 40s, and 50s. Understanding these changes helps you stop fighting your body and start working with it instead. I also want to remind you of something important. Right now, millions and millions of dollars are being spent convincing people they need injections, drugs, and outside chemicals to lose weight. Everything we’re doing here is focused on helping your body access its own natural systems. GLP-1 is a peptide naturally released from your gut. The goal is not to force the body with outside chemicals. The goal is to help your body create and utilize its own natural GLP-1s, peptides, and hormone signaling. That’s a massive advantage. Because when your body is producing these signals naturally, you avoid many of the side effects being associated with injections and medications, including hair loss, digestive issues, gallbladder problems, muscle loss, and bone density concerns. Your body already has incredible systems built into it. The key is learning how to support them correctly. How are you feeling today?

Hey does anyone have a good skincare they would recommend. I’ve noticed more wrinkles since I lost 20 lbs. more of a leathery look which has never been apart of my normal skin Would love some help in this area

This first week with Dr. Cody’s metabolic reset has already been such an interesting experience and I wanted to share some honest reflections for anyone else moving through changes too. Loading Days (Sat/Sun): 🍽️ Went from my usual routine into 2 higher calorie loading days (3000–4000+ calories) 🙈 Felt SO full and bloated at times 🚽 Digestion shifted a lot and definitely became “talkative” 🥺 Emotionally, I realized this wasn’t only about food. I started noticing how many of my rituals and routines feel like comfort, identity and self-care to me — coffee, supplements, skincare, my morning rhythm, even my workouts. 🏋🏻‍♀️ 💜 I found myself asking: “What if I’m losing parts of myself?” First Cut Days (Mon–Thurs): 🌿 Moved into eating whole foods in a very different structure than I’m used to 🌿 Added more fruit and vegetables than I typically eat 🌿 Experienced changes in digestion, energy, hunger cues and even emotions 🌿 Had moments of feeling low, uncertain and wondering: “What AM I doing?” But then I started noticing some really interesting things: ✨ Better sleep ✨ I actually went to bed earlier (which is not always my strongest skill 😂) ✨ Slept through the night ✨ Woke up to being down 1.4 lbs overnight after increasing calories ✨ More consistent energy ✨ Less bracing/tension in my body ✨ Feeling stronger at Burn where I work out than I expected (while taking more breaks, lifting lighter and dancing too!) ✨ My skin feeling more moisturized/plump ✨ Weight decreasing while food actually increased ✨ Feeling my body communicate with me instead of fighting me ✨ Feeling more gratitude for my body One of the biggest things I’ve learned so far: This process isn’t just changing what I eat. It’s changing my relationship with my body. I’m realizing I don’t have to force or fight her. I can listen. Still very much learning, still very much gathering data, but I’m honestly impressed and grateful so far! 💜
