What Is This Episode About…
In this episode, Cari and I will discuss the fact that the workaround is never worth it. That basically refers to how people cut corners in order to get what they want, and we’re going to talk about it from a negative point of view where health and fitness is concerned to demonstrate that one cannot cut corners and achieve their goals. For example, we have tens of thousands of people that have come through our channel, and we’ve written thousands of custom programs for them, so they can go achieve their desired health and wellness, but that cannot be achievable if they work around those programs instead of following them to the letter.
Heavy people are some of the most notorious when it comes to coming up with creative workarounds to living the actual Code Red lifestyle as they’re supposed to. When I see somebody trying to do the workaround, that automatically tells me they’re not ready for the benefits of the Code Red lifestyle, and how it can totally change their lives. Such people will want to take shortcuts all the time by, for example, taking keto snacks while at the same time having their sweet fix because they don’t want to eliminate sweets from their diet.
A lot of the workarounds that we see in our industry were borne by the industry itself, and it all started with the original workaround where Ancel Keys did a study that demonized fats, and influenced people to substitute flavor with sugar. People started doing breakfast cereals and other daily meals that were fat-free, but loaded with sugar and carbs. Recently it was discovered that fat is not the enemy and people have shifted to Keto diets, which are good because they’re sugar-free, but they’re not the best because they’re full of all sorts of chemicals which don’t help with weight loss at all. Stay tuned as we dive further into how someone can get to the root of their weight loss problem, so they can eradicate it and achieve ultimate health and wellness.

If you want to lose weight, if you want to be serious, if you want to get down the road, stop doing the workaround, the workaround is killing you. And I would just ask yourself, Is this real? I saw one of our coaches put real food doesn’t have ingredients. It is an ingredient. I love that real food doesn’t have ingredients. No, it doesn’t have a label. That’s what you need to be eating. That’s what you need to be eating most of your meals now do not have a label on them.
Intro 0:30
I’m Christy Code Red and you’re listening to rebel weight loss and lifestyle where we believe food pulls the power to heal or poison. And we believe our society has been misled regarding proper nutrition and weight loss. You’re in the right place if you’re looking for some straight up truth, because I’m here to shed light on the lies and brainwashing that has taken place over the past five decades. Thanks so much for listening.
Cristy 0:57
Welcome back to rebel weight loss and lifestyle I’m your host Christy Code Red author, entrepreneur, retired professional boxer. Great to have you here with me. And of course, we’re joined by second charge CEO of Code Red Cari Thompson. Cari, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for doing this with me.
Cari 1:14
Hello. Thank you for having me. I am really excited about this topic because I’m passionate about this one. Let me tell you,
Cristy 1:21
well, I am too because I’m like I’m salivating just thinking about it. But first let me read a quick review. This is one strong nurse she gave this five star she said pick your heart at the top. I found Christy by accident on the internet. I was sick of low energy and feeling fat. I have done a lot of exercise and diet programs which wasted my time and money. I found the code red challenge in life has never been the same. Then by pure accident I found Christy’s podcast, so she goes with me wherever I go. Christie is blunt. To the point she may offend some people but who cares. I have been looking for truth and people talking like this. And finally someone has Thank you Christy. Wow. One strong nurse.
Cari 2:03
Did she say you may offend most people or some people? I’m just
you’re the one that has to feel customer service complaints. I don’t mind it. I’m being funny cuz I’m laughing because it’s like, Ah,
Cristy 2:21
yeah. Oh, my thank you so much for your ratings and reviews does not go on notice we read every single one of them. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you because of you, we are ranked really high in the top 250 of all podcasts in the entire United States. And that’s almost 900,000 podcasts. So thank you. Thank you. Ah,
Unknown Speaker 2:40
yeah, a million podcasts. Yeah.
Cristy 2:42
And you’re number 50. Exactly. So it’s pretty amazing. Holy cow. We are talking today about the workaround is never worth it the workaround, and it’s something that Carrie and I have, you know, we have 10s of thousands of people that have come through our channel. And thousands of custom programs that we’ve written for people all over the world. And so we have had a lot of clients come through. And now boy, we just laugh. The workaround, people try to find the workaround, and it’s never worth it.
Cari 3:14
So at the time of this recording, I have been with Chrissy three years in a week, I believe, yes, about a week Really? Yeah, I saw my memories on a plane. Like, it was like this day and I was like, starting remember how I came on part time and then I went full time. So came on part time three years ago in just a week. And I know and so in the last three years, I have seen some very creative and phenomenal workarounds, but let me just tell you something, let me define the workaround for you and let me tell you that this is not isolated to our industry. I have seen this in nursing. I have seen this as a nursing instructor and nursing professor. I saw it work around all the time with nurses trying to kind of go the back door and around then and students, and then why can’t we just and then guys, there’s a right way to do things. And the same is true with code read. And so I would say, Christie, I’m trying to figure out how I would define I would say the world is round.
Cristy 4:16
Well, I’m here to tell you right now, we’re using it in a negative term.
Unknown Speaker 4:21
Yes, we’re not using it in you have the code? Well, I mean, it could be used like you have the co worker, that’s difficult. So you just kind of bypass them and talk to Sally instead of Bobby.
Cristy 4:31
Around we’re just not saying here. Here’s a shortcut to make life easier. Oh, no, we are saying this in a negative light.
Unknown Speaker 4:39
Yeah. Thank you for clarifying. So the workaround in this situation would be defined as people who try to find options.
Cristy 4:48
Yes, cut corners. Yes, getting
Cari 4:50
what they want. Yes, getting what they want, and bypass the rules. I’ve never seen a thing like this when I started working for Christie again. I mean, I’m I’ve worked walked in blood and open hearts and, and all this crazy stuff in the ICU and crap chests and people you know that is blood just crazy stuff. I’ve seen some crazy stuff, y’all. And I’ve never seen anything like the creative workarounds that people that are heavy to try to come up with now, you guys I’m not I can say that because I was fat so I can say that heavy person comment, but I I get it because they’re addicted Christy, they’re addicted. So we understand where the workaround comes from. We understand what do we think that you’re not smart people? No. Do we think that you don’t get it? No. But y’all, you cannot have your cake and eat it too. Sorry, we don’t eat cake on code read, but you can’t have your cake and eat it too. And that is where the workaround is born. It was born with ancel keys. Christie way back in the day when people started doing substituting flavor and putting in sugar and taking out. That’s where the ultimate workaround started. Do you think I’m wrong?
Cristy 6:05
Well, no, I look at it a little different. I guess I look at the workaround as somebody I mean, now I’m an extreme person. So I go all the way to the extreme side, when I say, when I see somebody trying to do the workaround automatically, that just tells me they’re not ready. They don’t want to do the work. So they’re trying to shortcut it. They’re trying to find a way to have keto snacks. And I’m putting close with my fingers and still have their sweet fix. They don’t want to eliminate sweets from their diet kind of a thing. It just tells me they’re not ready. Do you kind of see it that way?
Cari 6:32
And I think it’s I think it is propelled by the industry. Because here’s the question, Do you
Cristy 6:38
follow the consumers or do the consumers follow the industry? Oh, that’s a whole nother podcast. Somebody write that down. Write that down.
Cari 6:44
Yeah, I know. Because I think what I was saying about ancel keys, so ancel keys, you know, demonized fat guys and appropriately with a cherry pick study. You guys all know this. This is old, old low carb news. And so we made that the enemy so instead of Having a cookie that grandma made, you had to get a pre packaged snack well, that had no fat, but was loaded with sugar and carbs. That was a workaround. So the ultimate workaround started when we started doing breakfast cereals. And we started taking the fat out of everything because everybody was so scared of fat. And so they’ve made the work around Well, now it’s shifted. We know that fats, not the enemy, and it shifted to this growing keto world, okay. And what’s happened is people doing cold read, sometimes don’t understand that we we do use ketosis, those principles, but we’re not traditional keto. So they kind of get in there and they kind of get their fingers in the keto world is what happens. And that is when the workaround starts with foods. Although we seem to work around with water we seem to work around with you name it, my scale broke. My Lord, we seem to work around Yeah,
Cristy 7:54
you know, Carrie and I had been to a few conferences together and we have seen and the keto world. I’m thinking And I’m also a little bit like skeptical because I’m thankful because the keto industries have answered the call of the people who have asked for sugar free items. So what they’re doing is they’re making sugar free items or making items that don’t spike insulin. However, they are still full of chemicals. They are still full of preservatives. They are still a snacking their snacks. And so the keto, you know, industry is all too happy to answer the call of the people to produce these items. But you still have people that are heavy walking around keto conferences, because they are eating all these snacks and so that is 100%. The workaround so I’m almost afraid to suggest my rebels go to these keto conferences, because I don’t want them to think that all these keto snacks and keto bread and keto brownies and keto chocolate chip cookies and keto Cheetos, like that’s still not good for you.
Cari 8:54
I would say a time when those things are fine is if you’re trying to transition your kids I think it’s totally fine to have those things. Yes. But guys, if you’re doing code read, just stop with a workaround. Just stop with a workaround. When Christy and I were at many Kido conferences. Like Chrissy said, Guys, they had keto cookie dough. I can’t think of anything that is further from keto, from what we believe in code red, then cookie dough, but they had a form of it. And it was full of chemicals to taste like this. Again, does the consumer follow the industry? Does the industry follow the consumer? I don’t know. But they’re trying to give people what they want because people don’t want to face their addictions Christy, they don’t want to face their addictions. They if they can have keto cookie dough, and still kind of lose some weight and kind of have a SS it you know what I mean? They think they can get away with it. You know what I’m saying?
Cristy 9:48
Right? And the fact that keto I do, we do want to make sure that we tell you guys, we keto is saving lives, because we’re mitigating, we’re mitigating those high levels of sugar. So we aren’t The good thing about the keto snacks that you see at these conferences and on on the grocery store shelves is that it is not spiking insulin. And so that’s good we are because insulin drives disease insulin drives, obesity, insulin drives, high levels of insulin drives all that stuff. That is the main reason here for metabolic syndrome. So getting those high levels of insulin down is job one. But people really take it too far we and we noticed that they do. People take it too far with water. I love when you mentioned water, so people say all Can I have Perrier instead? Well, if I let them have Perrier, then they say, Oh, I can have Ziva well it’s okay if I can replace my water with a diet coke because it’s fluid to what’s alright if I replace it with a gin tonic. Well wait a minute was I’m just getting fluids. That is, I mean talk about the workaround is a flavored water or Kool Aid or things
Unknown Speaker 10:49
like that light all day less than all the lighting is Crystal Light and they’re never drinking real water. Y’all may listen to our program and think that Christy and I are mean but the reason we do All these hard lines is because it breaks your addiction. And it also gets you the fastest on the right path the fastest Krissy if you wake up in the morning, and you brew yourself a cup of coffee, completely legal on coke bread, and you open up a bag of keto Cheetos, and you eat those all day, you have not had any real food. Yeah, all you had is chemicals. So there’s got to be a point where you stop and say, Whoa, okay, just because it’s available doesn’t mean I need to eat it. I need to eat real food code right is built on eat real food, drink your water and sleep. So we want you to eat asparagus. We want you to have ribeye steak, we want you to have hard boiled eggs. We want you to have green beans with butter and that’s where the work around it. I don’t understand why those things aren’t good enough. But again, I think it’s an addiction thing.
Cristy 11:52
I really do. I think you hit the nail on the head because it when they’re having the keto cookie dough, it still does not a wire You’ve been craving it, it’s not getting to the root of the problem. And that’s the thing about a lot of these shakes pills diet foods companies is they don’t get to the root of the problem, they mask the problem. They just help you with the surface thing. But they’re not getting to the actual root cause. And that’s one of the great things about Code Red, because we take you down to the bare bones, we take you down to real food, water and sleep and we eliminate all the other crap. You can root out the problem and you can get to the bottom of the problem. But if you still having your Kido no sugar Cheetos, you’re trading one bad habit for the other. You’re not getting out of the problem.
Cari 12:30
You’re not eating real food. Now, again, I don’t there are companies out there that are doing it, right, Christy, that are just putting two or three ingredients in a product and I would love to support some of that if people would not go crazy on it. You know what I mean? Like there are some great products that literally are made out of cauliflower and water and egg like they’re amazing products and so, like that’s fine. But the problem is, is that if we just have to be cautious because people take that and say, well if I can help That then I can have pizza from dominos. No, you can’t have pizza from dominos.
Cristy 13:05
They take it too far.
Cari 13:06
They take it too far there’s no control, because those the junk food is addictive guys. It’s engineered to be addictive. So I have to tell you my ultimate workaround story. Are you ready? I’m ready. This is what inspired me. So we have in our family have we don’t watch a lot of TV. But we’ve been trying to find things that we can watch with our daughter like to have some family time we play games, all that kind of stuff. But it is fun to watch, you know, a half hour of TV in the evenings our maybe we don’t do a lot. So we went through Harry Potter, we did that. That was fun. And then we did Lego masters By the way, that was fun. And then we got to My Strange Addiction, which is hilarious because the entire time my husband says this can’t be real. This can’t be real. And our 10 year old daughter laughs the entire time because he’s saying that can’t be real. So people eating plastic people that are married to their baby dolls, you know, whatever it goes on and on. Okay, so the last one we watched, I mean, you know These are strange diction. The last one we watched was about a man who wanted to be a Kindle. Okay. And he had had obviously these people have some very serious issues. And he had had, I don’t know, like $500,000 worth of plastic surgery to look like a Kindle. But this is what made me upset Chrissy. He had ABS implants, and he had bicep implants put in. And so, of course, this is funny, it didn’t bother me that he liked that his lips and his shin, fake hair and all that it bothered me that he had the fake muscles. And I kept saying we’re all snuggled in bed together and I’m like, he didn’t work for those muscles. He didn’t work for those muscles. He didn’t work for those muscles. And it made me mad because Chrissy I as you know, for the last two years have been busting my butt in the gym. You know, because part of my health journey was deciding to get into shape and Christy encouraged me after I’d lost the weight. And I’ve been working hard like going every day going hard and I’ve made that Some great changes, but I have sweat to get those muscles and I have eight to get those muscles and I busted my hiney. And I said it’s the
Cristy 15:08
ultimate work around Christie. That was his ultimate
Cari 15:13
work. six packs put in. I was like, so all he has to do is keep his body fat down to have biceps and I was like that is not fair. Like I wasn’t even mad about any other weirdo stuff. I was so mad about the fake muscles. And that inspired me to talk to you about this today because it made me I felt so righteously indignant, now he’s got some problems. I recognize all of that. But I was like, I feel my muscles. It is not fair that he can have him with a surgery. That is the ultimate workaround. People don’t want to put in the work. They don’t want to put it in your hand. That’s the bottom line. I see. I want CrossFit those CrossFit chick legs and she’s like, you can get them you just got to put in the work. And I’m like you’re right. So it is true with eating and weight loss. Guys if you’re trying to find a substitute for Fettuccine Alfredo and you get some kind of mushroom noodle that has plastics almost in it and it’s made up and it has nothing in it it’s light is air there’s a product that Christy and I some of our rebels use sometimes and it has like zero calories zero nothing I was tell Christy was in what is it made up? It’s made of chemicals. Yeah, it’s just chemicals. But anyway, if you’re trying to find a workaround for your Fettuccine Alfredo, you’ve missed the point. Yes, you’re missing some point of bacon and eggs, and cauliflower and broccoli and salad, and yummy rotisserie chicken. You’ve missed the point. That’s why we don’t like the workaround.
Cristy 16:42
And on our 10 pound takedown challenge, we give you a list of foods to eat and foods to avoid. And I’ll be darned it’s always the people that post a million products and they’re all fake products and they say can we have this? Can we have that? Well, can I have that? No, you take zucchini and you spiralize it that’s what you Could have for noodles not those plastic noodle noodles made from the tears of Tibetan monks you know we don’t know no that’s fake food despite realize your zucchini, but it’s the people that all the time Can I have this? Can I have that kind of have this guy? No stick with the list. They’re always trying to take the list and then bastardize it, then they want they wonder why they’re not losing any weight?
Cari 17:21
Well, can I take this and then combine it with four cups of Splenda and then boil it. So it’s sort of like a cake? No, or this keto ice cream kills me, Chris. Oh my gosh, she was ever making this ice cream at home. And again, we don’t believe that you can’t have these things. We’re just saying if you want to lose weight, if you want to be serious, if you want to get down the road, stop doing the workaround. The workaround is killing you and I would just ask yourself, Is this real? I saw one of our coaches put real food doesn’t have ingredients. It is an ingredient. I love that real food doesn’t have ingredients in it. It doesn’t have a label. That’s what you need to be eating. That’s what you need to be eating most of your meals not did not have a label on them.
Cristy 18:06
People asked me to teach them how to read a food label. And they said, Kristen, would you please teach us how to read food labels? And I’m like, No, because you don’t really need to be anything with a food label with the exception of just a couple of very, you know, a very rare exceptions, stay on the outer aisle, I’d say on the outer perimeter of the of the supermarket, and don’t eat crap that comes with a camera box. And so I refuse to teach people how to work to read a food label or I can’t even pronounce those words. You know, do you think that crap was good for you? It is absolutely the workaround. And you got to get this in your head. If you find yourself always trying to do the workaround. You ain’t ready.
Cari 18:42
Yes. In weight loss mode. If you find yourself walking down the candy aisle looking for sugar free candies. No, huh? No. If you find yourself walking down the baking aisle trying to find and I’m talking about in weight loss mode, guys, I don’t want to get nasty emails about this. I’m talking about in weight loss mode. I’m not talking about your kids. I’m saying About You, Sally that wants to lose 50 pounds. That’s who I’m talking about. I’m talking about Carrie at 250. That’s who I’m talking to right now. You don’t need to be walking down the baking aisle, looking for some kind of magic flower that’s going to make you be able to still have a muffin. No, just No, no. And people get so mad the other day on one of Christy’s Instagram, can we have cherries? Or was it one of our life? I can’t remember. No, it yes, we love cherries, not in weight loss mode because of the glycemic index guys, but we’re not talking about that. These are bad foods we’re talking about. It’s just always trying to push it. Well if a strawberries okay. is two cups of strawberries. Okay, right. Well, that’s old. That’s a lot of strawberry Jones. Yeah,
Cristy 19:50
you know, one thing that happens to me and I am in maintenance, and I have been here for a while is that it triggers me to want more and that’s something that’s Not once you realize now our mom doesn’t get triggered she just doesn’t have the same kind of outlook on food we inherited Carrie and I inherited this very, very controlling weird addictive behavior when it comes to food from my dad’s side of the family and every person on my dad’s side they battle with the same exact thing to carry and I battle with and so what I noticed is if I have a sugar free ice cream that has no sugar, no carbs, I don’t know what the heck and hey, you know, it triggers me to want then now I want to reach for the bag of peanut m&ms which there is no keto substitute for that and it triggers me to want to go down that path and so I just do best where I’m just stay away from it completely.
Cari 20:40
Yeah, and again, once you’re done losing weight if you want to have a plan and diligence, you know, that’s a different thing. Oh, the other thing that kills me Christy is fat bombs have you seen Oh my god, that bomb shop guys, you cannot have keto cheesecake. Just stop. Just stop, stop. Just eat your food, lose your weight and Then we will teach you how to live this life to where you can have a bite or two of cheese cake if you really want it at some point to where you can have a string cheese if you want it at some point, but let’s just stop going around this mountain. Let’s stop trying to do the workarounds. Let’s get you to your goal weight. And then let’s go on from there. It’s not hard. Am I saying you’re never gonna have a piece of bread ever? No, I’m saying that. Let’s just get in weight loss mode. Those of you that are in weight loss mode, they’re listening to me. Let’s just stop with the workarounds and get it done. Let’s just get it done. Chrissy. I laughed because and this is again, if you are vegan or vegetarian and watching this, I am not knocking on you at all. your lifestyle is fine. That is you can do what you want. But have you ever noticed that the vegans and vegetarians come up with all these crazy chemical products that look like meat? Well then just eat me. Why do you want tofu bacon it’s the same idea. Guys in our society, we are so accustomed to getting what we want. Getting it now. And no one tells us No. Heaven forbid somebody tells you No, that’s why people are just so upset about well, they told me no, I’m telling you. No, no, we don’t do pasta on this plan. Okay, well, then I’m gonna do this and come up with this and find this thing online and it’s got this and then I can have it. We don’t want to be told no, I don’t like being told no, Christie. But no, we’re delaghetto. We know we’re talking about. Nobody likes to be told no. I have a family member. That’s the podcast, I’ll tell you who was a Chrissy. They don’t listen to the podcast. They tried Code Red. They did great on Code Red, they gave up because they want to have their cake and eat it too. They went to a program that now I see them posting pictures online of having this and having that again, we don’t think these foods are bad, just not in weight loss mode. And they did Two months worth of work and lost 10 pounds and they were so proud of it. They put it up online, look at my before and after pictures. And I was like, you could have had almost all your weight gone by now, if you just would have said, it’s okay for me to say for now I’m not going to eat these things. I’m not going to do the work-around and Chrissy and I know I’m talking a lot, but I have to say exercise is the workaround for a lot of people. Have
Cristy 23:23
you noticed that? Oh, they use it as a way to purge.
Cari 23:26
Yeah, well, I do this. So I should be allowed this or I do this I should be allowed this. And I have seen people we will give you with a custom program a calorie range. I’m going to make this up 1000 calories. I’m just making that up. That is not anybody Don’t be going and doing that. And then they’ll say what if Carrie and Christy said 1000 I’m going to eat 500 that’s a workaround to lose the weight faster. Right. So just it’s all the same concept. We don’t want to be told no. And we don’t want to have to wait for things
Cristy 23:59
well, vegans vegetarians, they’re the best of the workaround, because they’ve had to be I mean, if you eliminate animal products from your diet, which don’t get me started I carry is much nicer than I would have been. I don’t believe in the vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. And by the way, I was vegan for an entire year, I felt like crap. And I lost a big fight at Madison Square Garden, because of it. So whatever. But yeah, and I know that family member you’re talking about and it’s like, I mean, my heart hurts for her because I guess I think it’s the one I’m thinking of, because I thought, are you kidding me? Like, I could have had three times four times a weight off of you, if you would have just get to the root of your problem. And stop trying to have your cake and eat it too. That’s basically the bottom line.
Cari 24:37
Is it gonna suck for a while? Yeah,
Cristy 24:40
but I don’t think so. I don’t think it’s gonna suck when you’re having bacon and eggs and steak and asparagus. It doesn’t suck and that’s the thing. Can you have big buckets of Costco size peanut m&ms that ziplock at the top? No, but you’re not gonna have to ask for the seat belt extender. I just don’t see it. You know it. People like CrossFit. They’re like, well I you know I’m not as strong because it’s wild while I’m in the weight loss mode or so you’re not pulling the 305 deadlift but you ain’t have not having to ask for the seat belt extender it’s just so funny to me I just I don’t it when people are ready then they won’t do the work round but I can always tell when someone’s not ready because man they always try to skirt the rules
Cari 25:19
Christy it’s tempting to me even though I’ve been in maintenance a while it is tempting to me I this has been a while ago. I’m gonna go ahead and get this on the airwaves here. I went and got some kind of a keto cookie. I can’t remember what it was. I was wanting cookies. I don’t know why I just didn’t get a regular cookie and eat it one cookie and eat it that would have been the end of it. Okay, but no, I go get a pack of keto cookies, whatever. I ate all of them at once.
Cristy 25:45
That’s the thing. That’s the thing.
Cari 25:47
And I still want i just wanted if I would just put a made a batch of cookies taken one or two and given the rest of my neighbor, eat my one or two. I would have been fine. But instead of me just addressing my issue and being okay with it and admitting that I was wanting this one thing, which is perfectly fine for me to have in, you know, in maintenance mode every once in a while. Instead, I ate through a whole thing of keto cookies. I can’t even tell you how many hundreds of calories I ate just by doing that crap. There was no reason for and when I was done, my tummy hurt because the chemicals it’s been about six months ago, it didn’t even feel good. I was like, why did I do that I should have just made a batch of cookies. And again, I’ve taken all of them to the neighbor eating my one or two and been done with it.
