[00:00:21] Paula: [00:00:21] Yeah. I didn't realize he was starting that quickly.

[00:00:39] Craig: [00:00:39] Yeah. So we've got, this is, this is, it's been awhile since we've done a podcast together. Just me and you, I'm looking forward to it. Togetherness, it's what everybody needs right now whilst we're on lockdown and in quarantine. okay. So I've got a particular topic I want to talk about today.

[00:00:54] Before that, I want to kind of just set it all up a little bit. So it's obvious the, when Corvid 19. broke out the countries are, went into a bit of disruption and and people became scared. People became a little bit worried and anxious about what their future would hold.

[00:01:14] And, and then to top it all off, we then got kind of locked up and our, our freedom, our ability to move around was then hindered. so we've got a load of people that are emotional for lots of different reasons, stuck at home. And I read a great quote yesterday, which is when you're sad or you're bored, don't make your, the fridge your happy place.

[00:01:38] And Paula, that's kind of what I want to talk about. First of all. So, can you, can you talk to me a little bit about, has there been a time when the fridge has been your happy place and, and what was the consequences of that?

[00:01:49] Paula: [00:01:49] Actually, my fridge has been, my happy place for the last five days. For the last five days without, without a shadow of a doubt.

[00:01:57] And, last night I had to do some really strong kind of self-reflection because I've been, I've surrounded myself with really kind of positive things or listening to a lot of, meditations. And, and real. I used that actually. I'm not practising any of the things that I'm learning because as soon as I feel slightly worried, slightly anxious, slightly tense, the first thing I do is walk to our fridge and our fridge.

[00:02:22] At the moment it looks like Christmas. It's full. and our fridge is never full. Ever, ever, ever fall. well, I mean, we, we, we felt obliged him because we've got my, we've got two sons who are those, and then we've got a house guest staying with us as well, in isolation. So we felt obliged that we should sort of top it up and fill it open, make sure there's food in.

[00:24:52] Type two diabetes, insulin resistant. It just lists a load of stuff. Have you got a book, a recommended book that people can get?

Paula: Yeah, dr Macola. what's the one with the big avocado on the front? What's it called for fuel. For fuel. Is that an amazing book? Amazing. Yeah, it's a great starting point for anyone to fat for fuel.

Listen to the episode for full details
[00:29:15] Just quickly, how much weight in tons is TEAM Bootcamp responsible for burning?

Paula: I can't remember now.

Craig: It was 49 tons

Okay. So thanks again for listening and join us again in the next episode of the conquer food show.

Take care. So goodbye.

Both: Bye bye.

In this Episode: How TEAM Bootcamp training works in wet weather and the cold.

COACH PROFILE: Ashley, a life coach, and fitness instructor. Working in the fitness industry for 22 years. It all started when I saw an advertisement about team boot camp then I said I'm going to go. The moment I came here.

Things you did before boot camp in the fitness world?

I started up as a fitness instructor and have been a personal trainer too. I have also tried being a manager, sales talk. I enjoyed doing those kinds of stuff a lot.

What kind of new skills have you developed?

My skills as a manager, in trying to manage the individual groups in here comes very handy. Being aware of people's abilities, motilities, differences, regressions to people—I have always been mindful of that. Especially with what we have done today in survival skills and techniques, fishing, and making fire, it's all fun.

You are an expert camper, but let's say there is someone out there that thinks I am different than everybody else, has never done exercise, no extreme physical activities, how do you guarantee that everybody's going to get what they need?

What's the maximum number of people you can train?

In one day? 60 people I may say. We make it work. We have the weight-in process when people arrive before we train them we are talking to them. Looking at the medical records, talking about their abilities, any injuries they got, and from that, we give them a functional assessment.

“As a trainer, I don't care if you can run around at all. It's just the thought that you're hungry for something and you are pushing yourself.”---ASH

How much of a factor in your opinion is the weather on people's results?

The results in the winter are unbelievable, eight or nine inches of snow and we are out there having the most amazing sessions and we see results.

“One would say that, "That was impossible". NO! For campers it doesn't matter what's going on outside. What scares them is when they wake up and we don't lift that weight off them. We don't allow it to stop us.”--ASH

Winter weather brings an immense amount of challenge, and probably bring a lot of pride, excuse that fear. What kind of countermeasures if you have, what do you do to get on with the weather?

We are out there, we are in the elements, we can switch, and we can change a lot.

“You realize no one cares what you look like at camp. There is no point in getting yourself a makeup when you go out. It's liberating and makes you feel free at most.”---ASH

We have termed it "The facility". (The dawn of a new era at team boot camp) An indoor training environment, a cross-fit functioning facility but still maintains the feel of a field in a boot camp and it's going to be a place where you can get out of the elements. This is coming in the next couple of weeks.

Ash, can you tell me how excited are you about the facility? What do you think it's going to bring?

It’s going to be a game-changer. We are already good at training outside but now that we have this facility, it will be going to give us a different dimension. This would allow us to get and an extra bit of intensity from the campers.

Let's talk about the campers. How many campers have you seen go through now? What would you say like people's biggest fear when they come? What do you think is the thing that they should concentrate on?

Maybe I have seen thousands of campers come and go. How much courage would it take for them to come and see that weight off? For them, the most motivating factor is when they see the progression. <

In this episode of the Conquer Food Podcast, Paula and Craig will be introducing some sort of case studies, some tips and advice for some people who made incredible choices and changes. The CF programme is developing into the most effective rapid weight loss and food addiction programme in the world surpassing all other long term fitness and fat loss camps considerably.

The CF programme is developing into the most effective rapid weight loss and food addiction programme in the world surpassing all other long term fitness and fat loss camps considerably.

Key Points include:

• People’s Mindset

Looking at people’s mindset will help gain a healthy relationship with food. This is to have a healthy relationship with food and gain new habits.

This is also the way to know how you feel about yourself. It is like re-introducing yourself to yourself.

• Bond within the Camp

Healing is not done individually but it is done within the people in the camp. Those bonds are important relationships because those are the ways campers keep in touch and embrace and one another. And in the Bootcamp, the last thing the camper would ever feel is being judged and most of the times it doesn’t happen at all.

• The MAGIC in the Camp

No one can help me? I’m back to square one..

These are the common concerns of people when they are in the camp. The camp is designed to remind them that everything they need to know is within them all along. It is not easy to put everything into practice. However, the thing that matters most is the readiness of the person and the willingness to accept changes.

“Paula, what can you see every week at the camp?”

• Growing people
• Developing campers
• Support Network from campers and other people within the camp

“How did you experience the magic in the camp?”

– The camp shifted how I feel about myself and I am now happy about my body. The camp has changed my life.

– I realized a lot of things and I have told myself that ” I love this person”, while I was looking to my reflection. This camp was the best thing I have ever done in my life.

-I was in a place surrounded by people who understood my food-related issues. In the camp, I can tell my deepest and darkest food-related issues without anyone to judge me. I can say what I want without the fear of being judged by other people instead the camp will support you all the way.

• How do you know when you’re READY?

Before I started to change, I felt completely trapped and backed into a corner and you got nowhere to go. Be a FIGHTER, because you have no other choice. Like the old saying: ” Once you hit rock bottom, the only way is UP.”

There were different stories of struggles and difficulties, but we have to move forward and move on.

• The downside in the Camp

IT WAS BLOODY HARD!

I remember that I was shedding tears for the past three weeks in the camp and I was really trying my best not to be negative. BUT it was all good in the end.
