People over-complicate the CodeRedLifestyle and are always looking for the magic pill, the tricks, the workaround but you absolutely MUST nail the BASICS before taking it to the next level.

If you are not nailing the basics, nothing else you do will work. Drinking water, sleeping, and the food list we give you are the basics. There is no magic out there that will work if you are not getting these basics right. The Code Red Lifestyle rules are pretty simple. Drink your water, sleep, and eat from the food list.

Once you have mastered the basics, you can try out other things, but first, nail the basics down. If you ever find yourself off the track with the lifestyle or any other thing in life, just go back to the basics. There is no magic pill to make the body work. For instance, if you are not sleeping, your body holds on to fat as a way to protect you.

Some people tend to think that are too good for the basics, that the basics are for beginners. This is not true. Basics are so important. They are our foundational beliefs here at Code Red. There is no supplement in the world that is stronger than a good night’s sleep, drinking your water and your food. Don’t overcomplicate it, NAIL down the BASICS.
