🌽🥔PB Diet, Running..Missing Chins Run Club!

sidsmom — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 19:05:39 GMT

Today, Good Morning America spotlighted a FB group called,

”Missing Chins Run Club”.

Goggle ‘abc news josh lajaunie” for the amazing video!

Here are a couple who are on my McDougall FB page.

Each of these men have lost hundreds of pounds,

reversed illnesses, eliminated medication...all with the

foundation of a plant-based diet.

A private Facebook group has helped its members lose a collective 4,000 pounds by offering tips, encouragement and community for men hoping to shed excess weight when they don't know where to start.

Joshua LaJaunie, a self-described country boy from Louisiana, said he founded the "Missing Chins Run Club," on Facebook to give "beer-drinking, back-slapping men an avenue to health and happiness."

LaJaunie said he decided to turn his life around after he weighed in at 420 pounds, and he started by just walking on a treadmill. Eventually, he started running, and has since lost 230 pounds.

"Compared to where I was, I'm an Olympian," LaJaunie told ABC News.

The private group, which now has more than 80 members who have lost over 4,000 pounds collectively, gives men a platform to share their weight loss journeys and cheer each other on.

"I didn’t realize it was going to be so big in the beginning but I really had aspirations that we would be able to reach out," Lajaunie said today on "Good Morning America." "I had been inspired throughout my journey and I felt it important to pay it forward to the universe and to do that for other guys."

He added, "To see what has come of it is just amazing."

"Whenever I don’t feel like getting up in the morning or running, I see somebody else post they ran four miles, I’ve to go run six," Cohen said. "If they’ve run six, I’ve got to run eight."

"It keeps me motivated to get up every day, lace up my shoes and just get out there."

The 'Missing Chins Run Club' founder's top-3 weight loss tips:

1. Understand the concept of "calorie density" in food

"If you're looking to lose weight and you're trying to get started, it would really serve you well to understand ... the subject of 'calorie density,'" LaJaunie told ABC News of his top tip for weight loss.

LaJaunie described calorie density as understanding that the same volume of two different types of food can have a vastly different number of calories. He cited the example of eating a bowl full of green leafy vegetables versus filling the same sized bowl with fried chicken, saying the latter may contain "about three or four times the amount of calories, in that same volume of food."

"Understand how to still eat big meals, and enjoy yourself and be full, but at the same time you won't be overconsuming, and your body won’t need to store excess calories or body fat," LaJaunie said.

2. Start moving, any way you know how

LaJaunie's second tip is to just go outside and get moving, even if it is just walking at first.

"There is no need to join a gym," LaJaunie said. "You can just go outside, and lace up, and move yourself with your legs. You don’t have to run but ... move your body."

"Do it with some purpose and do it on purpose," he added. "What we’re doing, more so than anything, is building muscle memory, and habits."

3. Find a community

Finally, LaJaunie emphasized the importance of support from others when you first embark on your weight loss journey.

"Go public with your goals, try to find a group to get with on social media, really build some community around these new habits," LaJaunie said.

"Think about how important your community is to your identity," he added, saying social media is a great place to find others who can hold you accountable and encourage you to reach or maintain your health goals.

Jason Cohen has been interviewing so many success stories

for a new film coming out called ‘The Big Change’.

All interviews are on YouTube under the channel w/ the same name.

Many of these people are my online friends who I have

referenced in several of my posts on this forum. They all have

the same story...reversing many of the modern day illnesses

like heart disease, diabetes, obesity...and a huge smile on their faces!

@sidsmom

I think I saw one of the ladies in an interview that you had mentioned awhile back who was one of the featured success stories in "The Big Change". She was so cute and so happy about how WFPB living had changed her life.

I have to go look as some more of those interviews!

@sidsmom

I just watched a short bit with Milan Ross who I've seen speak about his crazy huge transformation and see he's also fatured in The Big Change.

I really want to watch "Eating You Alive", having not seen it yet, but can't figure out how to access it.

Help?

@QueenDanceALot

Girl! You sent me on a witch hunt!

i looked e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e.....even threw out some FB/Instagram/Twitter

feelers...only to find out this:

ETA: their YouTube channel is filled with tons of 1-2 minute snippets.

I jokingly said, if you mush all these snippets together, that would

be the movie. Ha. I did notice they have an added extended trailer

on their website. I saw the movie last Fall when it was an open viewing

to get the word out...but everything has been shut down for

new releases ‘coming soon!’ It’s not as good as FOK or WTH,

but still worth waiting for.

BUT...in the course of poking around, I found these

cute tights & shirts on the eatingyoualive.com website

Hummmmm....maybe???

@sidsmom

Hey, GF, thanks for looking so hard! I'll see it one of these days. Hey, I haven't even seen FOK or WTH in their entirety yet. Segments, yes.

I LOVE the clothing! I would totally wear those leggings in the gym. You never know who's watching when you're walking away

AND I would love to wear one of those shirts while training clients. People always want to know what I eat.

@QueenDanceALotEating You Alive is supposed to be re-released in theaters sometime soon, and available on Netflix after the first of the year. That's the last I have heard about it.

I put off seeing it when it was released, then this summer decided to watch it and it was gone! Couldn't rent or buy it all of a sudden, because of the re-release.

I hope it is available soon.

@sidsmom Love this and thanks for keep us posted on sharing WFPB news. Community is everything....really helps when we are having challenges. Those "Missing Chins" are such an inspiration...they have become athletes! Girl, go rock those PB tights!

I am interested in the PBD, but must admit to being lazy about the learning curve.

While I still eat fish and eggs, I've eliminated other meat from my diet and eat an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables.

And, I eliminated pasta, bread and other carbs as I found myself overly sensitive to them. They made me ravenous for all the wrong things.

I think I need to hire an inhouse chef or maybe take a class

@Witchy Woman

I have become a ravenous consumer of whole food plant based nutrition information. No one can make you take that step, but it is an important and very educational one, IMO.

When you talk about pasta, bread and other carbs making you ravenous, I suspect that the carbs are in the processed variety. I would stay totally away from anything made with flour, ANY KIND of flour, and focus on whole carbohydrate foods in their natural state. Beans, peas, lentils, quinoa, buckwheat, corn, brown rice, potatoes (all kinds, sweet, purple, fingerlings, red, new, on and on and on). As @sidsmom points out regularly (and which I fought with her about before I finally GOT it) you need to get enough calories, and you won't get those from eating a lot of leafy greens (although they are important to the WFPB diet, too!). You need the starchy, WHOLE FOOD carbs for satiation. You just can't put fats and oils on them and serve them with animal foods. You have to let go of your fear of "carbs" and understand what carbohydrates mean to your body and which ones you need to eat and which ones (processed!) that you need to stay away from.

There is so much information available. If you really have an interest in eating the WFPB way, you can find it (heck, you can find lots of it here from posts by other WFPB eaters, such as @sidsmom. Look at the WFPB websites, Drs. McDougall, Greger, Esselstyn, Barnard, etc., etc., etc.

I am a newbie to this way of eating, only a little over 3 months. And I have mentioned here that I have not been perfect with it. It's a journey. But the more benefits I feel and SEE, the more I want to be closer to perfect! (in compliance).

I just want those who are thinking about it to give it a real try - stick with a "perfect" WFPB menu for at least 21 days and see what happens. Anyone here who eats this way and who has found it has improved their health and enhanced their life will be happy to help in any way they can. But you have to be willing to do your part, and that is to just put the right foods into your mouth, one forkful at a time.

@sidsmom

Thought the PB in the title meant one of my favorites, natural peanut butter. Sounded good to me as I love the non altered PB and get a 3+ pound tub ground regularly at a local health food store.

That along with my banana and joe make for a good morning prep, especially works well before the days I go ice skating. Will be going today in a couple hours this afternoon.

Any group that promotes eating healthier and moving whatever limbs and joints a person is able sounds great to me. I personally prefer being a loner when it comes to my workouts, just myself and my thoughts and goals.

Always been one that prefers not having to depend on others to be present for me to exercise. That is the way I ice skate, to the music beat of course. I go there to "skate" not to converse, not unless it is before or after I hit the ice.

I understand and believe in a group concept as that is a necessity for many to get the most consistency and hopefully enjoyment out of their journey to health along with physical fitness goals.

Good story with your thread and hopefully it gets others moving whatever they are able and also review what they use as fuel for their body.

@hckynut

Giggle....didn’t even think about PB peanut butter, but it could be!

Though, these guys are pretty committed to their weight loss’why’,

so I would reckon peanut butter is not on their shopping list.

You said you like banana. I follow a vegan weight-lifting guy on

YouTube...and he just made a video saying he saw enhanced

performance in energy just by eating a green apple before hitting

the gym. I think I’ll try that experiment, as well. Off to the grocery

for some Granny Smiths....

@sidsmom

I picked up a locally grown apple while I was out getting my party supplies and wondered if you had this variety - Gold Rush - they are one of my absolute FAVORITES! - they have a mottled green/gold skin with a little blush here and there.

They are just SO good!

I've actually put guacamole on them and it rocks

@QueenDanceALot

Wow....that’s sounds unusual, but I dig it!

The apple-Eating Guy was Jeff Morgan of Guilt-Free TV.

(I think you follow him on YT). The green apple isn’t my fav,

but as an experiment, I’ll try...and I’ll look for your variety

@sidsmom

YES, I follow Jeff Morgan. I think I first heard the term "Buddha Bowls" while watching his one day. Whenever some bro tells me he can't build muscle on plants, I tell him to take a look at guys like Jeff.

The Gold Rush apple comes from a farm near me that grows 30 varieties of apples, and the Gold Rush is one of the early Fall ones. I always look for them!
