well this is in the iconic now Segal right yeah yeah man am I'm gonna hold up a sticker to the camera so so um I don't know if you know this penny but um to bring you an Australian passport is really hard you have to get like letters certified you have to have a special photograph like it's insane and especially for kids I had to ring you one of my kids passport to us becoming a kid to an adult Passport you had to like have it and I literally had about ten forms signed and if you wrote the date backwards like the whole world right the whole world writes at one way except America that all the forum's were null and void so we had to start all over it was awful yeah travel can be complicated it was really insane so I I did it so I came to the city I went to this trailing consulate on I was at 42nd and Lex and it was great but I'm like of course I need to go out to eat and have my daughter with me so I turned on kosher GPS which is great actually he's gonna be on my show next week I'll find a show for the season um yitzy cats who developed that program and grew up it's amazing I need to know what's restaurants I run there I bet you side or MIDI side I would say and we find a biter pizza pasta I believe it's owned by swirly Subaru and one of the and a partner who set up another chef it's a chef driven restaurant it was unbelievable the food was amazing so I'm gonna give them a big big shout out to how fantastic I buy to us so everyone make your way over there and you've got to have the artichokes they were like mind-blowing they have two guys just peeling artichokes fresh artichokes I'm sure Beth Warren who was here in the house with us our in-house nutritionist and foodie guide to eating a healthy life and she has a cookbook out there so I'm sure brand-new we're going to be talking to her later on the show secrets of a kosher I'm sure artichokes Beth are very healthy yes there definitely approved and they're actually free on the plan unlimited on your plan on best plan which will we'll hear more about the second hour of the show okay yeah so I'm a big shout out so I buy I so I've eaten at some great places and this is definitely right up there I was completely blown away by the whole team there and the service so I'd go check that out okay so any let's bring you back in let's talk I've had one of your partners from pey D get paid right get the joke because you get paid so we've had use P for penny we've had Ellie in the show so now now pennies pennies up to that so tell us about the beginning of get paid how'd you guys all get together and why so it's a funny story interestingly enough we've actually known each other for many years Ellie yaakov so penny Ellie yaakov duty that's PEO idea now there's more people but we didn't just add the letters and be too complicated yeah we don't have that so we were actually we were in camp together years ago camp a shell which is not camp kuvira it's attached to mug enough for adults with special needs and yaakov and I we weren't achieve it together so we've known each other for without aging myself about 20 years and so years ago it started really when them after the market crash you know wait and so the credit companies American Express and the banks were putting these promotions out for people to sign up for a car and you would get a hundred thousand points when he would sign a fur card excuse me a credit cat a credit card they would give you a hundred thousand points and they would give you twenty thousand if you would refer somebody to sign up so you know we were Yaakov who started the company was pretty savvy he had a larger network and he was convincing friends and family and he would call us up and and say you know sign up for cards and then we'll find someone to sell them to and it was you know was the Wild West you know people were signing up you could earn millions of points you know in a heartbeat and then the question is what to do with them so you could either use them for travel or find someone good buy them so that's really how it started literally like in a garage and we started in this title first about the second Steve Jobs yeah we're the Jewish Google right Apple amen so yeah so it was about an office about this size I remember we sat there with folding tables and chairs and it's been almost seven years now and we've you know we've processed probably eliwood know the numbers exactly I want to say close to two billion points okay what does that mean about the points cuz I'm sure I know and and she came Beth know but what people who are new to the whole point system I've heard about it but don't really know about it what is the whole points what does that mean so I'll break it down yet a hundred thousand points for something like add for what like when you use waze's and you report an axon that goes you got six points right good question so the credit card companies and the airline's there's a currency there that they used to incentivize people to spend money on the credit card or to travel and things like that and then the question is how do you redeem them so for the average Joe let's say who's not necessarily flying to Australia often so if you're just using them and you're not traveling that much so you can the airlines or the credit card companies will offer you to redeem them through their system through for a gift card for a statement credit things like that and generally the rate that they're going to give you is much lower than what the highest value would be sooo there's there's a valuation that you can use it for like dan from Danville's posts you can stay in the Maldives and he got three and a half cent valuation how did he do that because the hotel room was $350 a night and they're gonna cost them a thousand points let's say so there's your valuation of 350 but if you and I are not going to the Maldives every week when we sign up for credit cards there's a value for us to purchase them and use it for somebody to be able to do that so so the average person is that say you spending money on a credit card and they're earning one point for every dollar spent so you there are ways to earn more and that's a whole nother conversation that everyone do for businesses and individuals we can explain to them how a business can your business are listening to this and you want to learn how to utilize the points for your company's credit card you should give these guys a call exact we do a lot of that I mean on the individual side we've been doing that for years and the past three years we've focused heavily on businesses that can increase the bottom line by either reducing expenses and also if the user for travel then it's a slam-dunk you if they're not using it for travel there are certain expenses that will trigger multiples of points you can get two points you get one and a half points so there's a lot of valuations in how you can use it but just to explain again if you use the points for travel then your which which I clearly do you guys know how much I travel yeah we hope they'll me like with your travel so if you're using it for travel you can be reducing the out-of-pocket expense can be zero if you use the points very well and even if not we can we can take those points and apply the value and book the ticket because we have a department that books travels as you know Naomi we can buy your points and instead of you laying you know laying out money for a trip so we have very often we'll get phone calls people are making a bar-mitzvah in israel and they want to take the whole family and we said no problem you have all these points saved up you can use it for that you want to go away in the winter time you want to go somewhere warm you can use the points for that so we kind of remove the barriers of over the limitations where a credit-card company will say oh you can only use your points for you know black updates and you can't use it here you can't use it there we say no problem we there's no black updates with us we can buy the points and we have a full service travel agency that can book the travel right so my jawed is actually going to on a program to israel possession a couple of weeks with Jael i see i'm she's it's a really cool program it's just gonna give the program a bit of a shout I don't know the official name of it and it's it's for college students you do an internship during the day and there's learning at night for the girls which i think is such a great thing for college college girls you know it's a nice full program because there's not so much going on for them in the summer and in the ticket books and i you know i just couldn't think i didn't want to use my points you know i want to save it for a big trip you know my husband are having our 25th wedding anniversary coming up yeah so like saving all that points I don't want to use this I'm like I'm just gonna I'm gonna pay for it cash but I just can't I couldn't deal and I couldn't work out I wanted her to go to luck she wanted to go to London and stay with a friend from seminary but she's paying for that portion of it pay me back like how am I gonna book this ticket I called the guys right so she'll be out it's a regular travel agency as well right so I want to talk about that for a second a lot of people know us or recognize us as points right now cause I'm so I didn't know you do regular travel and we do all day we have we've been doing that now for I think five years we've been booking regular flights like you mentioned flights to Israel seminary students flights digital Pesach circus all the hot spots the hot seasons when people are going we are full service certified travel agency the advantage is that like you mentioned you can either say I want to pay for this trip out of pocket and that's trip I'd rather use my points right that's what we can maximize we can look at and say well what do you want to do we have people call us up and say I want to pay for the flights regular but I'm also going to need an apartment or I need a driver or I want to rent the car you could do that so we have full service so we can offer all the server well we've like that yeah we can love at this point now that we've been doing it for so many years we leverage all of those relationships with with our partners that handle full service VIP service tours Pesach programs is big because people will go in for pace off there's a lot of elements a lot of program on points I sold that ad that you could pay part yes absolutely partner up with numerous pass off programs that you can pay for when it's this camp summer camps really what's not McCants well in the five towns by us there's a bunch of camp she has us on there that's a new girls camp in the five towns yeah so I think we've done this educated the general populace to understand that points have a cash value and if you want actual money you could just cash it out but it can also be used for things you might not be able to do you might not thought that you could take your whole like Pesach has a great example because people will say well it's expensive for me to get two rooms I don't know if I can say the whole time we say wait a minute you have all these points saved up you can remember eight now you could take your grandkids you can take your next room you can stay for the whole program so it's really educated the populace to understand that the points have a cash value and certainly when it comes to travel because what people in their head they understand the points that could be used for travel but they might have a hard time actually utilizing them so they call us up like exactly you're saying I have points I don't wanna use them now or use them later what makes the most sense we do a lot of that analyzing graces yeah I'm dying to go on a cruise so anything that we don't do in-house we have partners that do it because they're handling the cruise even if it's really paying for the cruise with a credit card if somebody has points we'll buy their points and then they can go on the cruise so we're when you look at it as a picture of using your points to pay for anything we pay tuition bills there's actually a local school that has us on the tuition statement not that many people utilize that the action is hilarious but hey people right people don't reckon you don't think necessarily that spending money on her credit card why should we pay for those types of expenses so I can't tell you how many shuttles we've bought any expense that people wouldn't necessarily have the cash on hand to be able to lay out but they have there I love the whole loyalty points thing I think companies are brilliant when they do lawyers or points like you know the cup of coffees you buy nine the tenth this Marie the nails on Gigi nails on seat on the floor on Central Avenue I have points and like every time you know have a lot of daughters everyone you know I've like four kids and there's always someone that needs something it you know the salon you know not we're not so happy but you know kills the girls let's put it real eyebrow waxing whatever nails haircuts whatever and we put it all on the points that that he has his own point system and I'm telling like every my kids aren't allowed to go without the points card and logging in there whatever it is and like every fifth or sixth thing I get once one thing free and that's great there's also mags for miles people don't realize when you have the little a little bit of miles like 600 miles you can it's very hard you got to make two miles calm and you can use those I call the micro miles right a smaller minimize you can get a subscription to Southern Living magazine which is great tons of great recipes so like you can utilize your points that way so like I'm very big into like I don't know how I got into realizing this but besides airline points there are so many other ways that you can save money yeah there's a lot an especially when it comes to travel I found recently you could probably speak to this more that the the types of requests that we're getting for travel are not just regular they want people that want to go to Israel on vacation or they want to go to Florida it seems like and I think because of the kosher food that's kind of the palette has expanded that people are traveling to more far-flung places unbelievable and yeah places that we're doing research and I don't never heard either never heard of or don't have any experience we have obviously travel partners that are familiar with it right and we get requests obviously you know only places that have course your food or I know that there's a kosher restaurant there I can help you out with that right but there's a lot of this like we were discussing a minute ago about the pokéballs off there there's a lot of this people want to taste like they want to go somewhere because they want to taste the food and so now we can help we can get them there and then we can advise you know that we have people you know the the the it seems like people have expanded their horizons when it comes to travel it's really an villain up the mish Baja Magazine and there are a million tours going on right everybody knows I'm going with Miriam Schreiber kosher legacy tours it's a bit of a mouthful there in one breath to India and if people want to go on her tour and travel you can get your tickets from getting paid or you know but also guys when I was on a business trip in the last about two weeks ago three weeks ago I was put up overnight I was doing some filming for a company and we stayed overnight somewhere and they pay for the hotel but when I went to the hotel with something or think it was a Hilton I'm a Hilton Honors member I checked in even though they get all the points for paying for it there's something called a stayin point is that what it's brought so just because I was I I was the body in the room and I'm a member I got points for that and I got free Wi-Fi and a bottle of water extra water right like it's it's great like you just have to know what to do when I went on birthright I logged when I checked in I was with Belgium Air I think or Brussels Air and I gave my which is part of the Star Alliance I gave my my loyalty number in to to the to the airline and I got forty thousand point whatever it was just for flying even though yeah it's in it like you mentioned before about you know going to the nail salon they're incentivizing you to tag the reward system to it and and we're saying that not only is their reward within that system there's there's a reward program that we can apply it to even outside of that I think it's great it's it's so genius I've been doing the point system for more than 25 years before it was a stick because when I would fly to Australia on United Airlines it used to be 60,000 points to Sydney right that's nothing now it's an 80 right so now it's 80 and it went up at 280 points already 15 years ago but early on it was 60 60 thousand points of Australia if me my husband and one kid was flying we would we would accrue miles and I would save those miles if I put something on a credit card I wouldn't you know on the United credit cards goes United Airlines it would all add up and everyone to know what we had a free ticket on my parents had a free ticket from flying or from credit cards and since for 25 years but now it's gotten even better so it gets complicated right so it gets complicated so if you know in that specific scenario that you know you're gonna want to fly United then it makes sense to give it something that we're under noted but very often we'll get phone calls and people say I'm not sure what I'm doing I like to have my options open so then there's cards that might make sense for that if somebody has a hyper specific thing they're saving up for a trip to Australia or something they know they're gonna want to fly certain airline or a business that knows that they always fly Delta because they're flying people on a certain Delta route so based on that information we can suss out which card makes the most sense for them based on their spending habits how much they're spending on each purchase how often are they flying so we get analyze all that data and say well based on your spending habits and your travel habits here's what we recommend what would you recommend for a typical person going grocery shopping gas you know everyday living expenses what would be a really good card to get so with good value good points back cash back whatever so Amex every day is an American Express everyday card is a good American Express card membership reward points were always valuable and they transferred to partner Airlines American Express has a Starwood program that everyone's familiar with yeah it's a little complicated and what's gonna end up being the future and that's probably you know that's that in and of itself as an entire show right so there's no way to know if the valuable devaluate tremendously or not the random star points historically have been and still are the highest cash value as well as redemption value they're significant very often people able to use them for hotel stays at at least two cent valuations so when I went to ye were talked about before you guys booked my tickets I sold a V us points yeah we got two tickets with that and I used which you guys took care of for me and booked the flights and all that changing of their to go the different islands do you know all on points that's how I do or that travel people go how do you travel so much like points I'm the queen of points and and um and the hotels all on SVG so yeah so even if you're not if you're not able to use them even for hotel Starwood it has a very high cash value anyway so like it happens very often if I'm talking to somebody in the street and they start on my credit card so I'll pull out their wallet and so showing me the credit card that they use maybe show so a Starwood card is highly recommend American Express everyday maybe the gold card if there's certain purchases that you know you're gonna get double triple points so I used chase reserve it costs me money but you know you travel but I travel to get $300 worth of traveling and when you booked a ticket a she through Chase you'll get one and a half times the points for a ticket so a $1,500 ticket would only cost $1000 okay I totally lost out on that if you okay so again Chase Sapphire Reserve if you know your travel and when you booked it through the chase when you booked it through Chase you can get one and a half times the points the value of 15 would only be a thousand dollars okay oh that's very cool that's one the other thing is a business Platinum Card for any party that anybody that's gonna be making purchases of $5,000 or more individual purchasers or businesses appeal they're buying inventory a $5,000 purchase triggers one and a half times the points so also an you end up with seventy five hundred points for $5,000 spend no for each spend on over $5,000 on a business Platinum Card you get one and a half times the points oh that's cool so I yeah so individually American Express everyday grocery shopping nails things like that if your business or anybody individual that's spending five thousand dollars and an individual charge I would recommend a business platinum because you get one and a half oh that's very cool so I I this chase reserved you get three points for every restaurant and you guys know that I am obsessed with eating out by like so as much as I'm obsessed with cooking I'm obsessed with eating out you get three or four points per restaurant that you go to so I we use that just for restaurants and and hotel and travel or go on that card because it's two to three points I also use Capital One because you get double points and it's very good for travel as you just take that off so it's hard it's always a tough question that's like somebody saying what's the best car for me to get I don't know where you drive do you have a long commute you know so the best card depends like you said if you know you eating out a lot if you know you're gonna be traveling right and you one more thing about let's talk about TSA what tips can you give us for TSA TSA proof you need to have that which you get free we're not free to make it off yeah yeah I recommend that any when you travel with kids I noticed on my kids sometimes get tagged along if I have it know if yeah anyone update eight or ten I think it's my little key no I'm saying even if it's not on there no but if you walk them through with the kids very often I've had them where they just look okay no yeah they let you yeah they let you yes ten years old exactly my my ten-year-old Leora she she something because if she's booked with me she always cut it always comes up on her boarding pass to you she's on my on my booking code so so that's that's great I love I love the tsa PreCheck s-- it's the whole world is actually catching up so sometimes the line is shorter and the other line yeah early in the morning for business travelers I noticed if you take these early 6:00 a.m. flights they're all the business travelers have it so sometimes they just pop over to the regular line because take your shoes off but I love I love the TSA PreCheck as I did TSA and everyone should know about this I did TSA and not global you're supposed to really apply for global which includes yes different office because my husband I do TSA because that's what someone told me to do and then I went and did it was great and then someone goes and my husband got global laundry so he cooked which includes you say so when we came back from Miram Schreiber's legacy tour last year from Asia he couldn't he could walk right through and I just an on line for an hour because I wasn't global which is it's on the return from IVA stable untrue right coming from overseas tsa is with it within the United States and you also have to check your airline because not all airlines and not all hotels have it it's interesting because there are all these ancillary parts of travel that people don't necessarily think about they might be thinking about where they want to go but you got to talk about what are they gonna be eating and just the experience from getting from off the plane or getting onto the plane to the destination it could make a big difference when we book big big trips for people to Israel very often will offer if they want VIP service when you get off the plane what does that mean VIP service when you get off the plane they meet you at the Joey wait which airline in the airline itself they do it in any Airport but televizzle experience when you're traveling with a bunch of kids on a 12-hour flight and you get off the plane and there's somebody there with a sign that says you know Naomi Laughlin there Ackerman family it is a it's a game changer guys I'm literally hearing this absolute game changer because they meet you at the jetway who's they see their lady around yeah that's Gordon from it's someone from the Ben Gurion they meet you have the job within it first of all Naomi just having somebody there with their name on it that's cool yeah so maybe you had the right when you walk out of the plane and then they shuffle you off to this back door yeah they grab your handbags or whatever put you in a nice air-conditioned van you get to wave it all everybody like haha drive you so to the tarmac and they sneak you in the back and they walk you through the put you on a different line for customs into security and I wait with you with your bags and then if you if you have given them your drivers like if you have a car service gyrus phone number they connected with the driver and they put you on and it's not that expensive I was gonna say does this cost a lot of money I'm I'm pretty sure it's either 150 or 199 for four people no I don't think so and if you have more I think it's $50 more person something like it is worth every penny I'm telling you when we have when we book big trips we usually throw it in complimentary depending on the size of the ship they were booking it makes a huge difference when you get off the plan and everyone's exhausted and they just want breezy right through its there's also the way to do it on the way in yeah this is the most ck's she's excited I'm telling you there's a lot of parts to travel that people don't the people they recognize whether like you said si si getting off the plane with VIP I would want to have sandwiches waiting for me and a coffee can we have that thrown in I'm sure you know when I land in Australia and I haven't been to Sydney in four years but I know when I land there's this between the getting meeting my dad always picks us up from the airport at 6 a.m. because all flights land in Sydney from America and around 6:00 a.m. picks me up between the you know where you greet the people and you hug you and then to the parking lot there's an amazing coffee shop outside and that's my first line that I go to I'm like I cannot go to the car without that coffee yep great coffee so I'm all about like all the food at all these places you know people what people do fly to Chicago just to eat up melts right so you can now go to any kosher restaurant and this is really my theme here people like are you talking about food and travel and we've spoken a lot about travel or even though usually it's a lot about food but this is my two biggest passions and you know there is restaurants destination restaurants that I want to go to around the world and people do do this I know it sounds crazy but they want to go to tiara sir in California booked your tickets we should make a package deal I love them and they're numerous times ah it's the experience the entire experience there I learned it's beautiful chef Garcia he's a rock star shout out to you he's amazing and he'll sit at your table he'll sentence schmooze with food he's giving me tours we've walked around there like private shows at the kitchen I mean you can also take a tour of the winery but which is self-guided but it's Ossining you want to go to Milt's hop on a plane people do that they got a shout out to you Brian great guy you go eat the ribs that they're like you won at or shallots or where else's we're a Miami Zak the Baker well actually I just I I think they just change hush cajas so or from me to Dairy they're maybe both they just Castle husk hash cohort and then they are they also made their daily back to being like yeah right so there was some great restaurants around the world you want to go use your points it's very accessible it's very much easier to travel to get to these places for food reasons or whatever you want it's it's just call us up we've gotten some interesting requests you'd be surprised but what's craziest place I mean there's places that I haven't I'm like can't even pronounce Vietnam you mean in Saigon with Miriam Schreiber's kosher I guess you do thank you mentioned before the tours in Africa that the tourists we've been getting a lot of that the safaris India yeah yeah Indians I'm so excited for them the food in India Wow right I we were talking about this off there also about the curry and a lot of these foods that haven't really made it yet into the Jewish people there are very few kosher Indian restaurants with for me a half show that I eat at I'm like very particular so you know everyone doesn't own no one's judging there's you know but there's there's we'll talk about this maybe a couple weeks ago ZK on the show as well right talk about different Indian restaurants there's a great one in Stamford Connecticut but I actually want to go to India and learn Indian cooking from Indians and bring it back but Jewish people aren't so it's a bit aspartic right it's Gaiman and allspice these people aren't used to the spice right it's a different flavor different approach okay well if you guys want to join me in India and Miriam Shriver you want to use point so you know okay okay you can you know facilitate things also but but you know these got your face in New York you the customer service is amazing um besides the fact that I actually came to get paid through e le because we worked at Cantina together and then back in the day with and and then I got to know the rest of the guys but I really like if you've got a business and you're accruing points it's really a smart way to go just call us up see what we can do and then you can get paid amazing thank you so much for penny for sitting with out as well see I'm gonna just get you guys to switch cheese you're joining our conversation and I have Beth Warren in the house for the for fifth time I'm not sure like the first time Oh Beth Beth and I

living a real life with real food and then I carry that over now and two secrets of a kosher girl okay this is the book how important it is to treat yourself and this is a 21-day plan specifically but the goal of the 21-day plan is you're supposed to treat yourself once a week because you have to learn how to trust yourself and be mindful around food so that you know how to deal with yourself when you're around a green market that you want to try a treat you know right yeah the radishes yeah besides the radishes I don't try a treat from you and now all of a sudden like I'm overthinking it and tonight I'm just gonna be like I'll remember the you know the the treat I tried from Naomi and the tree traveling by Oh like it happened and you enjoyed it and that was interesting and it's over so that's what this teaches you also okay so let's talk about the physical book yeah I want to just show everyone how beautiful it is so our front cover and then we turn to it's really it's it's it's not it's more than a cook book it's it much more than it's really a guide to learning how to eat but the photography for the book in the middle is beautiful done by our good friends ma Xiu Elega and styled photography Moshe and Rene styled by Rene yeah I actually had to insist on those food photos because technically this would be in the diet Rene mela we forgot her last name yes sorry what a name I like and I love having food photos in my books and even though it's technically more of a diet book than a cookbook even though there's over 50 recipes in there I insisted on the food photos I'm so happy I did because you want to see what you're eating and a couple of them are double spreads where it's showing you all the snacks on the plane or there's a lot of salads on the plane so there's a spread yeah oh that's the sweet potatoes and the eggplant so yeah you need food photos beautiful that one is actually the show how to make jarred salads cuz I wanted to show how it's practical to you know make all these veggies all the time I love this I try to simplify it a lot in this book and make it realistic as best as I could for a 21-day commitment like this so let's talk about the actual plan mm-hmm so well it's called secrets of a kosher girl first of all because through my private practice I have you know best whare nutrition which is my private price that's me so people can come and have a private consultations yeah walks you through the program and stays in touch with you while you do yeah so when I was counseling there with clients and of course everyone quote-unquote knows what to do but they don't know why they can't lose weight or they don't know why they're losing control around food and I just started developing the whole mindset of you know mindful eating and just like getting to the root of the issue of why you're not reaching your goals as opposed to being like I'm telling exactly what to eat well anybody can really do that you could just make yourself eat 600 calories a day and lose but you didn't learn anything about yourself and because of that you did not gonna be able to maintain it so now the trend in the world is more intuitive mindful eating but you know these book takes years these books take years to develop so we've been talking about this the whole time so from a kosher perspective we're supposed to be more aware of mindful of what we're eating that is the intention of let's ice saying brah hot and we say brah call before we say bruh ha ha after you could take these moments to think about what you ate you know you could take a breath you know these things are all meant to they could not why we do it but it could be used as behaviors to help us be more mindful around our food and because you're being more mindful then you're able to make more decisions clear-headed decisions about what you're eating and why you want to eat it and how much you want to eat so the purpose of the 21 days is supposed to be really a training period so I know it's called diet and I know all these things because really that's what people need to hear like oh a diet but really the 21 days are a training period for people to relearn themselves without having obstacles like tons of artificial sweeteners that make your sweet tooth really high and all these other things that make you think you don't like eating healthy so that's what you're going to learn throughout the 21 days and the plan gives you step by step what to do each day along with recipes that are so simple I give you at the bottom of each day BET's prep tip so I'll explain like ok pull the chicken burger out you're gonna need that for tomorrow or you know don't forget to put the chia pudding overnight so I try to really really hand told people we've tried and tested this strategy specifically from the book a few groups like at least 5 groups of people over the past three years so we got all the questions down and I really think that people could I wanted to give them the book it's soft cover so they could throw it in their bag and always pull it out always reference it it's really going to be like their best friend because I want people to be successful I love it I love the fact that you have little what's this would you call these four mindful meditations I called it if I day if I got mantra to set you up for the day so we talked a lot about mindfulness so one way I put that into I I weave that into the 21 day plan is you wake up and you you say this I call it like a Jewish coat but I don't know you know like the first one's about rabbi hello like if if I'm not for myself it was for me and if not now when so and then I give my little like blurb about how you know you got to take action now and if you're not gonna do it for yourself are you gonna do it for so each day starts with something like that to just get you like refocused wake up and have a fresh new day and then I give you a fitness goal and then the chapters I explain why these these components are important then they give you the fitness school very easy either it's a youtube link something you could do on your own or you saw at the end I had the little like I DS she has yoga I had these little cute diagrams that you could just do at home looking for it yeah cuz I'm very showed you that like look at ya little yoga yeah because I'm very much into and I explained this in the book quality exercise over quantity I need you to just do focus on something you know within 30 minutes that you could do and it's very effective and we need people to go running for three hours I don't need people to do something like just say you don't have I don't have 30 minutes in a day to exercise I've got to be honest that's right that's my yeah well some of these are easy by the way 10 15 20 minutes they're not a minute yeah also something you should consider is you could spread things out over the course of the day right you always a minute know yeah like if you watch my Instagram and my stories like if I'll be working to have like a five minute break you know I have these like bins I call them bands they're like elastic bands that you can wrap around your legs or your ankles or even do my stretches with yeah and especially on my long client days that I'm sitting for like 12 hours getting up and doing something like that is very helpful you have to think like less is more just every opportunity that you could throw in something that's fitness related is matters right right it's important I see as I've gotten older when you know in your 20s you could just cut back on something you lose weight in your 30s without exercise yeah and diet it doesn't come off yeah metabolism changes every 10 years yeah well you know the more muscle mass you have the less fat mass you're going to have and what you'll talk about what I talked about in the book is I'm not into like the number on the scales per se we use an embody in my practice it's a machine that calculates your fat muscle water your metabolism based off your muscle mass so we're very targeted and pinpointed on what you're losing I'm not interested in people losing 60 pounds of muscle in a month because that's just gonna make your whole metabolism get slower and ultimately in a year or five years 60 Panther muscle is that a lot or a little bit sorry that's a lot I just threw the number 60 out of there but this one only shows 611 pounds a loss in the 3 weeks which is just an average that we saw and that's considered fast to me so you have to think that 5 that it says 611 pounds of weight loss in 66 to 7 pounds of white looks to 11 6 to 11 it was a big spread yes that's right it's more like women versus men or someone who has more to lose versus less I'm very honest in the book you know we don't make fake promises I want people to know that if they've struggled before to lose let's say they retain a lot of water or you're on a lot of medications that you just see it on the scale slower you'll obviously be more on the lower end of loss but you you it wouldn't mean that you're not losing fat it's just the scale is shows everything it shows if you had something salty in the night before it shows Rhino if you yeah if you went on an airplane and came off you're way more if you have to go to the bed really yes you water it you're fluid why you can't put the shoes on on the beach yeah you know when you take your shoes off and you put them back on and they're like tight I didn't know that it retains it to the extent that you were a noticeable difference oh yeah I don't know okay I have another questions all right how come people always complain about stomachaches on the airplane cuz freeze bad boy they equally like maybe the the you know we were talking about motion sickness something is it food taste differently right tomato juice is what they recommend don't they recommend the tomato juice I think when you're really changed on the palate I love that the foods that I actually heard from chef Issac Bernstein executive chef at pomegranate that when he fly fish food does taste different so weird yeah I want it I wanted love to know that I'm giving better mission Here I am because I'm traveling in July we're going to Switzerland Madrid and Israel to do some book signings know so I'm calling him because I'm doing that VIP right yeah so I'm traveling again so hey well I usually like yeah I don't even want to eat on the plane I get very alright when I travel I take a suitcase and I get full of food yeah me too my salad is the biggest natural planet god bless him but he like like you'd like to be healthy I take with us sandwiches and salads and noodles for the kids and Packers of tuna like I have this number one ever fear of being hungry I mean you know I like that food around me right so even even when we go on the plane right yeah or the train when I went on the LIRR I always have snacks with me a lot to eat when I'm in motion I think when you're going somewhere I'm going somewhere eat on the train it on the boat I don't know like okay well I think race though haha ah that you're not allowed food yeah well I don't

that calm okay it's very exciting what are the don'ts of food I don't want to hear this pin so that I think I know I did we never eat I see I'm not strike no my whole thing is that I'm not really like that I just want you to to choose Whole Foods most often and that when you're looking at your plate or what you're eating in a diet should be mostly from plants it doesn't mean that it's vegan it just say plant-based like in for your starch to use butternut squash not always bread for you know to have salad for lunch and roasted vegetables with dinner or mix up salads and roasted vegetables and one thing then you put on it your protein so there's chicken recipes in there there's fish recipes in there there's eggs like eggs I gamla is once a week once a week here once a week I know I rotated it well you'll learn in the book how important rotation is so yeah you got a smoothie one day a week I am in one day week achieve putting one day a week oatmeal one day a week so I switch it up because although everyone says I'm so bored like wow you're doing this a week we're not bored but they did switch it up okay cool what a recipes also are switched up what is one food you've never eaten I'll show you anything you don't say I would try anything cuz I just I'd like the experience of trying something okay would you never a Vegemite sandwich do you know what a Vegemite sandwiches sounds like ZK if you ever had a Vegemite sandwich with me no he's saying no I got I can keep it away from this studio Vegemite is is it's actually super healthy okay if you guys know what it is you know what I'm talking about it's Australian all right it's made out of a yeast extract okay it looks like chocolate but it's the opposite it's salty is all heck and you have it with butter and toast and it's every Australian kids sound sound so bad I actually got very Amami yeah mommy that Americans hate it well I have I have like a worse one I got asked for a media interview about supposedly there's a thing now with cockroach milk what are you serious yeah yeah so I got asked about it but supposedly it's not they asked me if they think that trends gonna last I said first of all I don't think people get over the fact that is from a cockroach second of all it's not sustainable at all you need to like kill like hundreds of cockroach for like a teeny thing anyway my point is is that I brought it up to a client I was working with a picky eater a girl in high school and we were just chatting and I said how a lot of times when I eat and I was teaching her that you just do it for the experience so it's okay if you don't like it but sometimes you just take something from the experience just try that I mentioned today I was asked about cockroach milk and I said the truth is I don't think it's kosher or anything like that but because from buck but if I would try it I would just try I would try anything just to try it because you're not gonna know until you try it but then I wait I don't think I would ever try it again right so I've definitely tried a lot of things I do draw the line at maybe oh well it's not kosher there's nothing to talk about us as Orthodox Jews but you know that I've never eaten an Entenmann's I know you told me that list I lived on those and I talked about this in my book how I was raised with all their strong food I lived on those okay I've had intimate cookies I've never in my life had an Entenmann's cake because I had the chocolate used to take off the yeah because it was like a solid tool why would you eat okay wait I grew up with nothing ha most food is not kosher right if you want a cake you made it yourself right so got with homemade food right so you want a Chinese food mom and dad whipped up Chinese food my parents are like very serious foodies but the idea of cake in a box that could last for a year and a half in a box oh well now now I can't think now I think think how I like this my whole life don't know but I do love you know I still had plenty of coke I haven't had soda in a long time one of my few friends who have really influenced me in the health I've not had soda I now drinking a ton of sell so that's my new coat yes so first of all I give a selection of what I call clean treats so all that means is that you still got to count them but it's made with like coconut oil coconut sugar those kinds because I do endorse I explained it in the beginning of the book how important it is to treat yourself but in the actual 21 days the way I fitted in was that once a week you do a treat so I gave options that people still want to quote-unquote keep healthy with it but I actually talked about in the chapters that I don't get involved with people's choice of a treat because it defeats the whole purpose so if you want your Entenmann's square I just don't I just you know don't say anything because I want you to just have your moment and then you know appreciate it and and and get through it I actually talked about in the book how that was from the Talmud actually to a few clients told me that and they're like oh you know that's in the Talmud and the first person I was like okay cool you know then a couple more people told me so I said what is this so supposedly it's pasta sala they they called it that when they were the story is that when the connie more whoever i don't even know i don't know this stuff but what in yom kippur through the desert they were worried that they would be get hungry and they wouldn't or thirsty and they wouldn't be able to make it through the desert i think that that's where other go to off the cliff something that's right something something like that anyway the point was is that they said don't worry at each stop you'll have bread and water to drink and they said that not ever once did they stop to take the bread and water because they knew it was there so there's a great quote in my book I don't even know by our but as a great quote about how it's telling you that the more attempting something is or the more restricted something is the more you want and the more allowed it is the less likely you are to eat it so then I take that step further my book is I say even if you eat it once but it's mindful like you'll be okay so it's actually that's the whole point of the kosher girl theme is that a lot of this stuff has been a part of our lifestyle we just didn't didn't take it to be relevant to food Wow I know it's pretty deep it's great right it's great it's a Shabbat read that's what I said you know by the way Beth is Syrian that's why she has a slightly different accent oh yeah Shabbat yeah I say shot I say Shabbat more people say sharpest Pizza bet I love I love Syrian food did you guys see that we did me ambassador kosh icon video yeah there was a twist on actually the classic but yeah it was good I love I want to make it again I haven't had a chance to make in a while the only food I can make right now is food from my cookbook I know I'm just the breadth of intensity Overson I'm excited I love doing a cookbook but it's just really intense like I my head is spinning you know I got a lot going on I'm about to start photography yeah really intense me and Pascal is coming we loaded I was saying before we loaded up all the stuff from her photography studio to bring it to at the five towns and just gonna be it's gonna be really when it's over it's the most accomplishing feeling right I know I love I love perfect a face is great so I'm still looking for a name for this book there guys I need it it's not a piece a book but I'm it's food you know my books about food travel food inspired by my travels it's really ok well that helps go crazy things and then stuff that has not been seen that's cool and and also regular stuff I mean you know regular stuff I got a few why because like I I went to a restaurant Brooklyn I forgot the name and I saw some Mexican dishes on there and I was so impressed and then when I tasted I was like this is spicy and he's like it we got too much feedback that it was too spicy so it's like so it's not Mexican anymore right right right right they think consumers are Mexican consumers Ashkenazic or right I went the other day to other me oh the hibachi grill in Queens I didn't give them a shout at the beginning but that was fun yeah but I you know it's not so authentic Japanese right I want to feel water it down don't give me falafel in Paris I go to Israel for a Goodfella huh okay it happened to me once we went to Paris 20 years ago on loins they lost our great story that you're not lost our like each and they gave us like eighty thousand points each and my kids will is still little at the time had a family friend coming eV and my cousin came from Australia cos one it I watched your kids and you guys go to Paris in London because we had friends in both places so we had free accommodation and had free tickets are always literally spending money and it was really before the foodie explosion we see where we stayed with our friends he was a big foodie oh he took us all over Paris to get your color from here you dips from here you eat fish at this restaurant you met but then he had to go away on business and his wife had to go to Israel for family same because the war in Paris by ourselves in their apartment had to find food for dinner so many great choices there and we ended up eating shwarma in Paris yeah it was very good shwarma and they have a lot of moroccan jews a friend right french french french moroccan jews in paris so it was delicious right yeah this was the 1999 November 1999 but I was joke I don't want to eat always come back to that line I don't eat ROM in Paris I want to eat the local food and when I was in Bangkok I got to eat Pad Thai and Tom some salad like give me the local food yeah here you I had a flat phone I was in Israel last year I plan to do it again I also like what you supposed to happen no but like I'm saying fried and all that I did the whole give me everything on it but I waited more till the end so I wasn't inclined to have it every day right where we're at where is the craziest food place that you have gone to around the world were in Thailand and so yeah it was primarily the restaurant there was had had that you know fall awful things there but I did notice that there was a lot more the flavoring the spicing was very different right you know I do a degree probably wasn't as authentic as going on the street corners and and getting that food but you definitely that you could sell the spices in the way that they're making things are just very different right a lot only in America is the food overly processed we're in we're in Italy ten years ago or something and we went to Pompeii to the to the ruins there and they had a cafe there and the food wasn't just hamburgers and hot dogs at the cafe was beautifully presented fresh food in those onions cannelloni is like in America at a hotdog at our we have sandwich shops at our at our gift shops or you know food places at museums and this was magnificent so really Americans are very into the processed food you know the Europeans and Israelis and yeah I used to work somewhere in Brooklyn and there was a little this all this really couple that had a little storefront that there he used to make lava and and hummus and he still loved going in there just because he was hidden away in the middle of Brooklyn somewhere but she's in the back and it was like you'd step back 50 years and you knew that she was making the Commerce grinding the chicken like it tasted it just tastes much different when that's you know she's a recipe right right that's what you want that's really what you want okay guys our hour is up don't forget to do out
