Self-deception will keep you from losing weight, will keep you from moving forward, will cause time to pass without you ever reaching your goal. In fact, if you continue to deceive yourself with your thoughts you will end up in much worse shape than you are now with the passage of time.
These thoughts and words are self-deceptive. They aren't true but they do cause you to continue engaging in activities that are hurting you.
1) This is bland and boring.
2) My medications prevent me from losing weight.
3) My medications cause me to gain weight. (I'm not talking about a little water retention).
4) I am starving.
5) I don't have time to journal.
6) I eat the same approved things every day and Im not losing weight.
7) This is too expensive.
8) Eating healthy is too expensive.
9) I have no support.
10) This is too confusing.
I can go on and on and on.
Bottom line.
1) You either want to lose weight or you don't want to lose weight. You have to be 100% one way or the other.
2) On a scale of 1-10 you can't be....I want to lose weight at a level 8 but you also want to eat what you want to eat and as much of it as you want to eat at a level 10. Level 10 will win out.
3) You can eat the way you used to eat and enjoy the food while gaining fat or
4) You can make the switch, learn the program while eating and enjoying great tasting food AND lose weight. It's your choice.
Come on now. Stop giving the devil the victory. Stop self deceiving with your thoughts and words.
We all know how we got here. We all know how to get out of this mess too.
You can eat yourself to death or eat yourself back into a healthy and self confident life.
STOP GIVING THE devil VICTORY in your life. Talk yourself into this and stop talking yourself and OTHERS out of it.
GET FIRED UP! Aren't you tired of living like this?
Month 1 you will lose up to 10% of your body weight if you do things MY WAY. That means you have to journal too!
Month 2 and beyond you will lose about 1/2 of 1% up to 1% of your body weight each week if you have less than 6 holidays per month.
EXAMPLE:
300 pound person doing this MY WAY.
Month 1 will lose 30 pounds.
Month 2 will lose 7-15 pounds.
Month 3 will lose 7-15 pounds.
Month 4 will lose 7-15 pounds.
As this person gets closer to their goal they will lose a little less 5-10 pounds per month.
In 6 months to 12 months this person will have lost 100 pounds or more.
In 6 months this person could have up to 36 days where they totally HOG TROUGH it and still lose weight. However, the other days must be PERFECT DAYS, including a JOURNAL.
I will help anyone lose weight. ANYONE. EVERYONE. BUT I need you to do it my way. You tried it your way. Now will you try it MY WAY!?????
You don't need more comforting. You need confrontation!
Your life depends on you getting this done.
I love you,
Travis

During last night's combination class we talked food combinations. Here is the recording.
https://youtu.be/leqvHExYBS4

At the end of the class we covered a simple meal plan that anyone can use to lose weight rapidly and healthfully. It works like this.

Follow these rules to have PERFECT DAYS.

The key to success for those who have been successful is simple. They embrace all of the components. Here are the KEYS to success.

1. Water ~ 1/2 up to 1 gallon of water daily.
2. Journal ~ Most important. 3 minutes per day. Bite it and write it.
3. Combinations ~ Learn them all. Start with these 4. 1+2+MCT, 4+2, 7+2, 6+2. I have included the combination card.
4. Portions ~ Hand rule, 6" plate rule, or 300 calorie rule. Eat up to three meals each day and never graze between meals.
5. Timing ~ Spread meals out 4-6 hours minimum. Again, never graze between meals.

Other keys to success.

1. Attend class online or in person at least once each week for support. Food addiction requires the same support as any other addiction. It's one hour per week until you feel you are on track and can self-motivate.
2. You don't have to go cold turkey. You have to have either Perfect Days or Holidays. There is no OK days. I suspect you are having lots of so-so days. Ok days. NOT GOOD. Couple OK days with holidays (blow it days) then your body chemistry will never be optimal for efficient and steady fat loss. In order to have a Perfect Day you must follow the five components above. Violate one of those components in a given day, no matter how small the violation, and you upset the chemistry needed to lose fat each and every month. Again, its either a Perfect Day or a Holiday. You should not have more than 6 holidays (big or small) in one month until you reach wellness. Once you reach wellness you can have up to 12 holidays. This is almost half of your month to eat what you want and as much as you want. First, you have to pay the price by limiting yourself to 6 holidays or less each month.
3. If you do not embrace the Perfect Day or Holiday philosophy you will never lose weight permanently with Shibboleth. This is the KEY lifestyle philosophy. Each day is either Perfect or not. There is no in between.
4. FAITH. Eating for and unto your God. If you eat for you, you will always be rationalizing one more indulgence.

Here is a meal plan for beginners or those who are starting over:

Replace breakfast and lunch with one of these meals.

1) Quest Bar
2) 1/4 cup of G-Butter
3) Approved Shake
4) Healthwise Microwaveable Meal
5) Two packages of Healthwise Oatmeal
6) Approved sandwich (Assuming you know what this is)
7) Wendy's Chili
8) Chick Fila Grilled Chicken Nuggets/Side Salad/Approved Dressing
9) Mex Restaurant ~ Chicken Soup No Rice
10) 2 Eggs scrambled in cooking spray with one slice of approved toast
11) Grilled Salmon and asparagus or broccoli.
12) Grilled Chicken Salad with approved dressing/No croutons etc.
13) Low Fat Cottage Cheese with palm full of berries
14) Greek Plain yogurt with a palm full of berries

FOR DINNER:

Choose one of the following meals.
1+2
1+2+MCT
4+2
7+2+MCT
6+2

If you do this you will get momentum!

ZERO DRAG 4-Week Class (To open links, copy and paste in browser)
Monday April 30, 2018 9:00 PM

Overview Video: https://youtu.be/Q3vA_djm8MY

The 4-Week My Zero Drag Class is for anyone with a willing and wanting heart. If you want to learn weight loss and wellness nutrition then I want to teach you and support you. If you are ready to unplug from the miasma and detach from fake nutritional news then I want to help you. If you are ready to put away excuses forever then I want to help you.

You must be a member of Planet Shibboleth or become a member of Planet Shibboleth to participate. As well, you must sign the commitment form attached below. Please read, understand and sign. After signing the form then please submit the form so we can get you in our system and support you with extreme support during the 4-week program. myzerodrag.com or
https://myshibboleth.formstack.com/forms/return_to_zero

If you are not a member and you cannot afford our underpriced program then please email me at travisjack777@gmail.com. Together, if we determine that you cannot afford the small annual investment to participate then we will find a way for you to participate. We are a ministry first and foremost and turn no one with a willing and wanting heart away.

The 4-Week program allows a group to begin their weight loss journey together with other like minded individuals. These individuals want to work hard and want to support each other along the way. There will be 4 unique classes held each Monday at 9:00 pm eastern time for 4 weeks. These classes will be live and online. As well, the classes will be recorded for those who cannot attend Monday at 9:00 pm due to scheduling conflicts. https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GpwLOcD-QAaCOkokmqYrDQ

These 4 classes will reenforce the fundamentals of the program, get deeper into behavior modification, talk about exercise and weight loss supplementation. A willing and wanting heart should be able to lose up to 20 pounds in 4 weeks.

So that I can keep up with the group and keep everyone updated I am asking everyone to text the word “zerodrag” to 31996. This will subscribe you to class notifications. Zerodrag to 31996

We encourage group interaction and social media posts if you have a Facebook account. The members only group is www.facebook.com/groups/myshibboleth. When posting in this group during the 4-week class be sure to mention that you are in the Zero Drag class so that the support team can answer your question appropriately. There are other members in that group who are not following the 4-week program. You do not have to be a Facebook member to participate in the 4 week class.

Here again is the link to register for Monday nights (April 30, 2018) 9:00 pm class. Please register with this link in order to attend the class. https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GpwLOcD-QAaCOkokmqYrDQ

During Monday nights class we will discuss and go over a one week meal plan. No worries, you don’t need the meal plan yet. You will find enough in your current pantry and fridge to get started.

However, I want to go ahead and give you meal ideas for Monday morning so you can get started bright and early. If you don’t like these ideas, no worries, there will be plenty more Monday night.

Here are your meal ideas for Monday.

An approved egg white omelet. Egg whites and category 2 veggies
2 Eggs with or without 1 slice of Natures Own Double Fiber Wheat Bread. If you skip the bread you can have 3 eggs. Please cook in Pam or in an approved oil.
Special K Red Berries Cereal with up to 1 Cup of Kroger Carbmaster Milk/Fat Free Fair Life Milk.
Might Muffin
Healthwise High Protein Oatmeal; Up to two packages
Jimmy Dean Delights Turkey Sausage, Egg White and Cheese Croissant
1/3 Hemp Bar
Grilled Chicken Salad; Use only approved dressing. If you are new and do not know what approved dressings are then please use light Italian dressing or lemon juice. Do not add croutons or anything breaded to this salad.
Chick-Fila; 8 to 12 Grilled Chicken Nuggets with a small side salad. Light Italian dressing or lemon juice.
Mexican Restaurant; 3 soft chicken tacos but remove the shell and only eat the insides. You may use salsa liberally.
Grilled Chicken Breast and Green Beans.
Healthwise Microwave Meals
Lean Cuisine Swedish Meatballs
Hamburger Steak Patty (Beef or Turkey). Must be 93% lean or better. You may add a small side salad or green beans.

These aren’t necessarily the best weight loss meals but they will work and are all easy to find. After class Monday evening you will have a plethora of meal options for your first week.

Monday you are allowed 2-3 meals. You are not allowed to snack. If you feel you need a snack then please have 1 tbsp of approved peanut butter. (Nuts N More or Jiff Natural) You may use celery or approved bran crisp bread with the peanut butter.

Your portions should easily fit under two hands or on a 6-8 inch plate. If you are a calorie counter you should keep your total meal calories to the following until we go over further in class.

Males: 200 calories up to 500 calories. If your portion is more calories than this then you need to re look at your portion.
Females: 200 calories up to 350 calories. If your portion is more calories than this then you need to re look at your portion.

You must drink at least 1/2 gallon of water Monday.
You may have other beverages as long as they are 0 calorie beverages.
Advocare Spark is always allowed for mental focus and physical energy. www.advocare.com/1108887

You may use any supplements that you currently take.

If you are currently exercising or walking please continue.

If you are an advanced Shibboleth member and are already familiar with the best weight loss meals, coach mode meals, WOW challenges, etc and are doing this mostly to further your nutritional education and to receive support and accountability you may utilize those meals and your current knowledge base. You do not have to stick to the ideas above. Again, there are better weight loss meals. We have a diverse group and some are new or just never gotten started. The idea list above is for those who are starting fresh and will be expanded upon Monday evening.

Please email us at travisjack777@gmail.com if you have questions before Monday night. Either me or my assistant will get back with you as soon as we can.

Let’s do this! I believe in you. Now, believe in yourself and BLESS THE NAME OF THE LORD!

Warmest Regards,

Travis

PS ~ Simply copy and paste the above links in your browser.

Monday Reload ~ God is blessing your efforts. Look at the amount of weight that is being lost week after week. Turning setbacks into comebacks. Refusing to quit. Love yawl so much. Bless the name of the Lord!

With that said, take a look at my first meal of the day. It's a Quest Peanut Butter Cookie (Don't eat these without heating for 15-20 seconds. That turns them from tolerable to tasting like homemade.), with a cup of Healthwise High Protein Hot Chocolate. This ends up being about 320 calories full of protein, fiber and fat. Well balanced.

BUT,

I've been taking some flack about the meal replacements I use. Our Shibboleth family members and supporters may think I'm defending myself with what I say next but I'm really not. I'm trying to help those who give me flack get over their objections so they can be successful.

I eat a lot of whole food. However, I am a busy busy person. Instead of making quick choices in the fast food drive through I make choices that are healthier by being prepared with plenty of options like this Quest Cookie. Filling, healthier than fast food (BY FAR) and fat burning. Lifestyle requires ability to improvise. I love whole foods but sometimes I just don't have time to prepare, cook and pack. Instead of being unprepared and making poor choices I make sure I have plenty of approved, well balanced, and tasty portion controlled meal replacements in my survival kit and pantry. If you aren't prepared you will make poor choices. What good does it do for you to preach clean eating, veganism or anti gmo type eating plans when you are unhealthy and possibly over weight due to not being able to stick to those restrictive plans year around.

I am Shibboleth! All in. This means that if I feel like shopping at Trader Joes' or in the organic section of the grocery stores and then cooking a favorite clean eating recipe that I can do that. Shibboleth means if I just don't have time to cook a free roaming, hormone free bison steak, quinoa, and mashed cauliflower that I don't have to do that. Shibboleth means if I want a darn chocolate chip cookie for dinner I can have a chocolate chip cookie for dinner. If I want spaghetti or pizza I can have those too. I can eat at grannies. I can eat at mamas. I can make mock tuna helper and mac and cheese if I want to do that too! I can be a vegan today but understand that all of that plant based starch is going to cause the fat bus so I can avoid plant based starches! ANYTHING. I can do anything with this plan and with the knowledge that I have garnered from this program. I am the BULLY. Food is no longer the BULLY. The difference is that my lifestyle meets me where MY MOOD IS and in the MOMENT without me having to sacrifice my efficient fat burning status. Sometimes I feel like being a caveman. Sometimes I feel like being a vegetarian, hugging some trees, crossing my legs by the candlelight and saying a prayer, but sometimes I just want my $%^$ G butter or Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie. Do it the way the worlds is teaching you with their fake nutritional news or do it the way Shibboleth teaches you! Shibboleth? Combine foods and or ingredients properly to control fat storage and weight loss hormones. Control daily portions and plate portions by eating unto Him and you will lose the fat.

So, until you lose the weight and keep the weight off for a year or two, please don't preach at us about how unhealthy we are eating on Planet Shibboleth because we eat a high protein cookie in a wrapper that has trace amounts of splenda in it.

Splenda may not be the best thing in the world for you but its a ton better than those prescription medications in your purse. Let's get you off of those by getting the pounds off and then we will go chase down some free roaming chickens and hug some trees.

Warm Regards,

TJ

PS ~ My grammar is poor. I hear that one a lot too. Perhaps, I'm just busy and don't take the time to run a grammar check or perhaps I'm just a fool. Well, a fool with a plan is better than a wise person without a plan.

Reloaded Day 2. Meal 1. I have several messages regarding folks feeling they need to tap because they haven't gotten their 10,000 steps or because they didn't eat when I ate.

Reality check. Its day 2. You relapsed because you looked for ways to quit. You are going to relapse again because you are looking for ways to quit. It's day 2. If you want to lose weight and keep it off permanently you have to work on your mindset and be willing to change your mindset. Your excuses are only making sense to you. I love you and want to see you change your mindset and I want you to stop self sabotaging.

1) We said the steps were not mandatory and do what you can do on the honor system. Fat loss is 80% nutrition. I can't talk you into staying every day. If you require that then Ill have to talk you into this every day for the rest of your life. Exercise. Do what you can do. Do your best.
2) You do not have to do two meals per day like I do. (Intermittent Fasting). Some days I will have three meals. You don't have to tap as long as you have three meals and eat from the meal plan. As long as you are doing your best you shouldn't tap out. For this group, tapping out, should only be considered the moment you decide that you want to be over weight the rest of your life because the effort required to lose weight just isn't worth it. If this becomes you, by all means, TAP OUT. Otherwise, if your line is drawn in the sand and you won't settle for being over weight then you should get back to the RULES as quickly as possible.

Today, my truck broke down, so Im a little off schedule. Life gets in the way but grabbing fast food, etc isn't worth it. Life getting in the way isn't an excuse for eating foods and portions that aren't moving towards my goals. I want you to have this mindset. Even if life gets in the way and I can't get to my planned meal, I'll just embrace the growl until its time to eat. Its not going to break my spirit or destroy my metabolism to miss a few meals. Embrace the growl. The truck will get fixed, the website will get fixed, time will pass and I'll still be sticking to my plan. I control what I put in my mouth before crisis, during crisis, and after crisis. Im more than a conqueror and you are too.

I got back to the house, nuked a piece of tuna steak and threw some hemp flakes on top for a great fat burning meal. Exercise on a plate! I love this lifestyle. Busy as a bee, cheerful as a cricket and steady as a clock.

Bless the name of the Lord! Lets get fired up, tell satan to get behind us and reach our goal!

Day 1 Reloaded ~ The way a persons mind runs is the way he or she will surely go. Old saying goes, if you think you can then you're right, you can. If you think you can't then you're right too, you can't.

Don't forget that you are doing this because you admitted relapse. You relapsed because of a lack of focus and because of the thoughts you allowed yourself to act on.

Focus. Focus. Focus. Attention to detail. I'll have the simplified rules out shortly to help keep you focused. As well, Raj is updating the link and making some edits.

This morning I went to Jiu Jitsu. 6:30 am. Sparred and got my tail handed to me. I love it. I never lose, I only learn. Showered and made it to the office and have been here since.
Im about to go get my steps in so I need a little nourishment. My first meal of the day is Healthwise High Protein Hot Choc. I like to work out and get steps in on a fairly empty stomach. Burn more fat that way.

The plan is to get those steps in with the rest of you and then spend 3-4 hours finalizing upcoming class power points while supporting members. Two classes tonight too. https://slkt.io/hwv

My eyes are on the prize!

MANDATORY LIFESTYLE RULES

WEEKLY CLASS ATTENDANCE ~ You must either attend the weekly live class or watch the weekly recording of the live class without fail.

VISION TRACKER ~ You must complete a VISION BOARD of images that inspire you to move forward towards your goals or cause such great pain that you want to lose weight to get away from the pain. My Vision tracker has images I’m moving towards and images I’m moving away from. Its a very powerful motivator any time Im feeling depleted or want to quit. The VISION BOARD can be in the online Vision Tracker in your journal or it can be a collage on poster board, etc. YOU MUST HAVE ONE. I like the Vision tracker in my online journal because I can look at it and play it anytime I’m at a restaurant and feel tempted.

BLOG ~ Blog a minimum of one time each week that you participate in Relapse to Reloaded.
This blog is about your journey. Blog about the Highs and the Lows. Make sure for every low point you blog about that you blog about the high points twice. It is important to overcome
the low points by refocusing on the high points. Talk yourself into this instead of out of it. Blog as though you are “coaching yourself” to success. Talk about what is good about this, what is bad about this and what is funny about this.

JOURNAL ~ You must journal each and every bite you take. You must journal each and every beverage you drink. Preferably, talk about each entry in terms of what you liked about the items you consumed and about how the food or drink made you feel. You may journal online, in the mobile app, or even on paper. If journaling on paper you must snap a photo of the day’s entry and upload into the photo section of your online journal.

NIGHTSTAND RULE ~ Upon waking you must read through and review your WHY and your written goals. If possible, say out loud. I actually PRAY my WHY and goals aloud when possible. Before going to bed, do this again. This is also a good time to edit or add to your WHY and your list of goals.

WEIGHING ~ You must weigh each WEDNESDAY MORNING and record your weight in your online journal or in the mobile app. You can weigh everyday. I do. However, it isn’t mandatory to weigh daily.

PRAYER ~ Prayers are ALIVE and VIBRATE through the veil and into the spiritual world. There is power in prayer that we cannot comprehend. How did Jesus cast out diet demons? With his command. Why were His commands potent yet His disciples commands had no effect on the diet demons? Because Jesus fasted and prayed. You must set aside time each day to pray over yourself and over your weight loss goals. If you don’t know how to pray, the Holy Spirit will teach you. If you struggle with the words to say while praying get out the Bible and pray a psalm aloud. God already knows what you want and need without you having to express it exactly. Its the state of mind that we get in when we pray in faith that changes things. I pray the Psalms and Proverbs when Im struggling to communicate with My Lord. It doesn’t take long for me to have a prayer on my lips and heart when I start prayer with a psalm or proverb. Your life and lifeline is at stake. Make prayer part of your wellness journey.

MANDATORY NUTRITION COMPONENTS

Drink 1/2 up to 1 gallon of water each day
You can eat up to 3 meals each day
Once snacks are on the list you may have up to one snack daily
Once freebies are on the list you may have freebies
You may only have one HOLIMEAL each week until otherwise noted.
If you have more than one HOLIMEAL during the week that was not an accident then you must TAP OUT and go back to the beginning and start over. Do not TAP OUT without talking to me first unless you want OUT anyway.
Meals, Snacks, Beverages, and Freebies must come from the meal list provided.
Proper Food combining must be observed.
Meal Replacements on the approved list can be used.
WOW Challenge meal plans can be used and if used exactly should be marked as an INF (Intermittent Fasting) day in your online journal.
Portion Rule for meal combinations ~ Meals should fit under two hands (observe the two hand rule) or eaten from a 6-8” plate or kept under 350 calories per meal. (300 or less for a meal is the sweet spot)
You do not have to eat when I eat or eat what I eat. I will message you what I am eating and the times I eat only to help you optimize your own experience. In other words, do what I do and you'll lose weight healthfully and fast. We suffer with weight loss together and then we reign in wellness together.

Reloaded Day 2. Meal 2 ~ The truth will set you free but at first it may make you miserable. Can you live the way you have been living? If not, then you have no choice. You must do this whether you want to do this or not. If daily discipline with food is new to you then it will be tough at first but later self discipline yields such peace of mind that you will become addicted to eating right and living right with food!

Don't trade your true inheritance, birthright, and blessing for a little daily mouth pleasure. Instant gratification is a trick. You are swapping all you could be and have and feel for momentary pleasure that you regret afterwards anyway.

I said I was going to have an approved burger but I didn't get to. Due to my schedule I had to improvise so I made me quick bowl of AHS Fettuccine and added 3 ounces of tuna to it. A fat burning perfect pairing! Thats it for me today too. Im on fire! Are you? I hope so.

See some of you in class tonight. Basic Training at 7 pm and the virtual grocery tour at 9 pm. Make sure you register if you attending. https://slkt.io/hyJ

Before pic 240 After pic 200 Its worth it.

I don't have a perfect body but I feel like I've put forth a perfect effort. With God's help I will not relapse because I stick to the daily task list (rules) you have all been given. Now my after picture is my before picture. I compete with myself. My goal tomorrow is to be a better man than the man I'm looking at in the mirror today. Work on yourself harder than you work on anything else. Life will change.

Everyday Shibboleth approved foods ~ Eat two to three of these meals to each day to get off to a fast start while you learn. Absolutely no grazing between meals. Keep portions correct (hand rule) or at least count calories and keep calories below 350.

Tomatoes as a condiment. etc. Keep overall calories at 300 or below. Know Better Foods company has a terrific crouton that you can use as a condiment. I keep these in my survival kit. You should only use an approved salad dressing. If you find yourself without a survival kit and at a restaurant then ask for light Italian only. If the restaurant doesn’t have a LIGHT Italian, don’t sacrifice results for some sugar laden and or fatty salad dressing. Simply use the juice of fresh lemons and limes as your salad dressing.

Lets lose up to 10 pounds in your first 7 days.

Hello everyone. I enjoyed last night's time with you. You are here because you have had success. You KNOW how to have success. You were determined and you did great, but something happened. You may know what happened or you may not know what happened. I am certain that the beginning of your relapse began in your mind with your thoughts though. We have to work on ourselves harder than anything else in order to lose weight and then successfully maintain the weight loss. Maybe you've been working on everyone else but not putting the hard work into yourself? Maybe you have rationalized that you don't have time to attend classes or have time to journal?

The truth is that whether you look at a successful person or a person who is not successful they both have one thing in common. They both have 24 hours in one day. The successful person is often called selfish because he or she spends time personally developing and working on themselves. They do this because they know to really make a difference for others they have to be at their best. They educate themselves, they journal, they attend personal development classes and hang around with other like minded people.

You aren't any different. In order to be successful you will have to attend class and you will have to journal. You'll have to review your goals morning and night.

After awhile it will seem easy and not time consuming because it will become part of you. It will become a habit, good habits.

I hope you will begin preparing for this relapse to reloaded class, challenge, or whatever you want to call it! I call it a new beginning. Actually, to be successful you need to end the old you and have a re-birth. You need to end with your new beginning in mind.

I won't quit on you no matter how tough this gets. Will you quit on me? Many do, only to realize later they really quit on themselves.

I can't wait to see you make that breakthrough. I am working hard on your simplified meal and grocery list to make these first 7 days as rewarding and simple as possible. I better go for now. I have lots of work to do.

Warm Regards, Travis
