People are so used to "Amazon Prime fast" that they automatically think weight loss is going to happen in a jiffy. But when you abuse food for decades, it's gonna take a hot minute to lose that weight!

In many ways, it won’t be an exaggeration to say that Amazon Prime has been like the best thing that has ever happened.

Amazon Prime gives us instant gratification. In fact, we have no lack of instant gratification in our society.

Come to think of it: When you have to work hard for things, you have to earn it, you have to work towards it, and you have to make payments for something and get it at the end of the summer or get it at Christmas time and you have to wait 10 months for something or next year, you learn how to be patient. You really appreciate things on how to have to work for it.

In Code Red, you can lose 10% of your body weight every month on a custom program.

That's by eating real food. No shakes, no pills, no diet foods, no exercise. So it's remarkable. We are. Nobody gets weight off people better than Code Red. Nobody. I'll put up ourselves up against anybody around. Come on, let's go head to head. I'm telling you, nobody can come close to us.

And yet, people get frustrated and we hear it every time. And we field so many frustrated people that are stalled. Like a girl says: “I'm so frustrated. I'm 5.5 pounds down and I'm stalled. I'm so frustrated.” I said: “How long have you been losing weight? And she said, nine days. And I said, you've lost 5.5 pounds in nine days, but you haven't lost any in the past too. And you're upset.”

You didn't gain this weight overnight. You are not going to lose it overnight. You have to get rid of that quick-fix mentality that take a pill and it all goes away.

How you feel now will be worth it when you get what you want later on. It will be worth how hard it is right now, in this moment.

It cannot instantly be delivered to your home. It's going to take work. That work is going to change your heart and that is really the value of this. It's not being a size six. It's what comes inside when you change your way of thinking about life.

Stay tuned.
