49: How Weight Loss Has Brought A Cascade Of Benefits For Todd And His Family

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tipping the scales at 315, Todd became painfully aware that his weight was impairing his draft horse's performance. He had no idea that being on the Code Red Lifestyle would not only help him drop 100 lbs but get off medications, give him loads of energy and improve his mood! You won't believe his story.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Around 300 pounds, his doctor was telling him: “Hey, you really shouldn't gain any weight.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And indeed, he was having problems. His knees hurt, he went for a hip replacement surgery, and his left foot was majorly injured in the aftermath of two accidents, and more weight was being put on it. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He’s felt crappy for so long. He didn't know what feeling good felt like. So he joined the 10-pound takedown challenge, he switched his diet to meat, vegetables, nuts, eggs, seeds, seafood and fat, and he got off the crap that was causing him to have high blood sugar, high blood pressure or high cholesterol - all of this stuff that we want to avoid and he started feeling better. And as of today, he weighs 226 pounds.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He moves faster now. He climbs on to haystacks, in and out of tractors and forklifts, and feels so much younger, nimble, doing all of that. His knees and joints feel better.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And so, the healing is taking place, the energy and productivity have increased, and the mood enhanced.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stay tuned to know more.</span></p> <p><strong>Key Points of Discussion:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A couple of accidents were hard on Todd’s left leg (3:38)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">“You've got to keep the weight off because everything's going to be hard as you put weight on, on joints, on the knees, hips...” (5:45)</span></li> <li
