6:34
Amy hey I'm so sorry I lost you I know
6:39
it I know it well in the meantime Amy
6:42
Bobby was looking up your question and
6:44
your question was you have just been
6:47
diagnosed with type two diabetes is that
6:50
correct oh yes okay I forgot about that
6:54
I started doing a drastic weight L
6:57
Challenge and now I to what they
7:00
consider pre no medication totally
7:04
controlled with diet and exercise I lost
7:06
30 pounds oh that's great
7:12
Amy to
7:14
5 that's wonderful 6.5 so it's crazy but
7:20
um you that was one of my other
7:22
questions for you oh my goodness well
7:26
let let me tell you you know uh when I
7:28
decided to really get serious I was I
7:31
was really rough and tough on myself but
7:35
I I'm so happy yeah I'm so happy that
7:38
you've controlled yours with just
7:40
diet oh it was so hard I was the gym six
7:44
days a week from two hours a time oh my
7:47
goodness not eating hardly anything yeah
7:50
yeah do you have to lose anymore do you
7:53
have to lose
7:54
anymore I do I need to lose 30 more to
7:58
get to my go
8:00
Amy and so I'm hoping that by the end of
8:04
the year you know I trying to be
8:05
realistic you know yes gold but um so 30
8:10
pounds is what I've got left to lose so
8:12
well I would give myself Amy one day a
8:15
week to uh go get me that cheeseburger
8:18
wrap that I love so much uh because that
8:22
kind of kept me from jumping off the
8:24
cliff you know what I
8:27
mean absolutely I
8:30
now Bobby Bobby is my real real clean
8:34
eater Bobby do you have any suggestions
8:37
for Amy well congratulations Amy um I
8:42
think that's great and I am happy for
8:47
you to confirm that your type two
8:49
diabetes has been brought under control
8:50
through diet and exercise because there
8:53
is no magic wand that is the only way to
8:56
do it and people that people that are
8:59
type two diabetic uh eat really the way
9:02
that we should all be eating which is um
9:06
cleaner you know more more Whole Foods
9:08
more fruits and vegetables and nuts and
9:11
drinking a lot of water and and trying
9:13
not to um I'm sure that you found Amy
9:16
that that a big culprit and and and it's
9:18
something that that you really don't
9:20
think about a lot is is drinking your
9:22
calories you know what I mean and
9:24
drinking sugar and stuff like that and
9:26
it's so easy to take in a lot of extra
9:29
and
9:30
I'm sure that you had to start paying
9:32
attention to the labels of the food that
9:34
you were eating you know so
9:37
absolutely the more no processed food
9:41
the the more the more informed you are
9:44
about what you're eating the better you
9:45
will eat and the more time you put into
9:49
the gym and and work on your body
9:51
through
9:52
exercise perfect is unattainable and and
9:55
and you're and most of us are probably
9:57
not ever going to look perfect or look
10:00
like these people that are the ads for
10:02
gyms or in magazines but you can but you
10:04
can certainly feel great and better
10:07
about yourself um and I'm so proud and
10:10
happy for you of what you've done
10:12
because you're doing that is what you do
10:15
what you're doing is what you do and and
10:18
I'm proud of my mom for having uh cut
10:21
out sweet tea you know that and that's
10:23
that's what you have to do you have to
10:24
sacrifice this is something interesting
10:26
my doctor told me the other day Amy I
10:28
just went in for my physical and uh she
10:32
said Paula are you drinking diet sodas
10:35
Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi and I said I
10:38
live off of them she said you've got to
10:40
get off of those that diet sodas
10:44
encourage type 2 diabetes now that
10:48
sounds crazy doesn't it but yes wow yes
10:51
it brings on type two so real
10:55
weird well Amy I've got to run I've got

Buford yes it is can I help you yes you
12:47
had written in to uh ask a question on
12:50
my
12:52
podcast I did a long time ago yes and
12:56
well today we're trying to get around to
12:58
some of the questions
13:00
and I came up on
13:03
yours do you remember do you remember
13:06
what it was Debbie I can tell I I'm
13:09
gonna intervene I see what's going on
13:10
here Debbie this this is Paula deine and
13:13
I am her son Bobby and we're right now
13:15
in the middle of doing a live podcast
13:17
and we're sorting through questions that
13:19
have been called in and one of them from
13:22
you is from you I see that you're Debbie
13:24
Buford from Alabama and you asked how do
13:26
you keep greens from being bitter
13:28
without using and sugar and you really
13:30
are talking to Pauline
13:32
[Laughter]
13:36
so that was the question that was the
13:39
question and just to tell you something
13:42
with mob uhhuh do you remember I sent
13:46
you flowers I had a flower shop oh my
13:49
gosh when I was in
13:50
Mobile yes were there thank you thank
13:54
you yes uh well I appreciate you call
13:57
answered my question because need to
13:59
know okay well you know what Debbie
14:02
that's a tough question uh you know
14:05
sometimes it depends on if they're like
14:08
old if they're old
14:10
greens they're just going to be bitter
14:13
and I will slip I I'll slip like a
14:16
teaspoon of sugar in them but uh like I
14:19
said you to to uh avoid that you want to
14:23
get as young and Tender Greens as you
14:26
can okay because those old ones they
14:29
they might bite
14:31
you well we have usually have a big
14:34
garden and we have lots of greens
14:38
and so I you know I didn't know if it
14:41
was just something I didn't do right
14:42
uhuh uhhuh no I you know I planted
14:45
collards a couple of Seasons back and
14:49
they were so not good they had no flavor
14:53
at all so I didn't realize at the time
14:56
that there's a lot of different types of
14:59
greens and uh we just happen to plant
15:02
the tasteless
15:04
kind and what a waste what a waste it
15:08
was so I think I'd rather have a bitter
15:11
batch
15:12
than a tasteless batch no taste at all
15:17
but uh like I said just try to keep up
15:20
with what kind you've
15:23
planted uh and do a little
15:26
investigating on which makes the best
15:29
southern collard green like we like to
15:31
eat um we'll do that because we uh we
15:34
plant summer or spring and fall uhhuh I
15:39
personally I love the winter greens oh I
15:43
just think to say that I think the
15:51
Falls or the dry weather I'm not sure
15:54
right well the thing is when they get a
15:57
little frost on them
16:00
that tenders them up like you wouldn't
16:03
believe I've always heard that I didn't
16:05
know if it was it it is true it is true
16:09
uh my grandmother said it and everything
16:13
she said about food she she gave me the
16:15
right
16:16
info uh yes and she said those greens
16:19
have to have that first first uh first
16:23
Little Frost on them well I am honored
16:26
that you po well thank you Debbie I
16:28
appreciate you calling me back honey all
16:30
right thank you well thank you and uh a
16:34
bless day you too all right okay bye
16:38

16:41
I have in front of me are about where
16:43
people can find you and win uh so I want
16:46
to give out some dates okay you and
16:48
Jamie and I our family will be doing
16:50

17:01
want to see my mother that's a way to do
17:03

17:05

17:08

17:15
that's June 17th July 15th and August
17:18
26th at the lady and Suns in Savannah
17:20
Georgia so that's so that's where you
17:23
can see my mom um I have one oh you can
17:25
see my sons whatever I have another
17:28
question us see there too Michael
17:30
sometimes is there too uh but Jamie and
17:33
I are are always there with Mom so we
17:35
have one more question from Blake in
17:37
California and that is Paula how do you
17:39
make the perfect root do you think
17:41
that's Blake Shelton calling in y'all
17:44
like California he's out there doing the
17:47
voice right now maybe it's Blake well
17:51
hey
17:51
Blake Blake cares about a few things but
17:54
Rue ain't one of
17:56
them I think you might be right well let
17:59
me tell you Blake uh to make a good R
18:02
you going to have to dedicate about 45
18:04
minutes to doing nothing else but making
18:06
that R and I usually start off with half
18:10
uh half fat half flour so equals amount
18:15
of fat and flour and if that's too thick
18:21
then I'll add a little bit more fat and
18:23
I usually make mine with a vegetable uh
18:26
o now people may not yes okay cuz people
18:29
may not know what you're talking about
18:30
when you say fat cuz I immediately what
18:32
kind of fat are you talking about you're
18:33
talking about oil yes yes some uh you
18:38
can make it with a a solid shortening
18:41
bacon grease collected bacon grease well
18:43
no I've never made it with bacon grease
18:45
so you mean like a storeall a solid
18:48
shortening yes but like I said I just
18:50
use a vegetable oil when I'm making mine
18:54
and uh I'll usually add a little bit
18:58
more all you want it like the
19:02
consistency of maybe a pancake batter
19:06
something like that and you want to cook
19:09
this on low heat low low and you want to
19:13
stir it until it becomes the color of a
19:16
new penny a copper penny and that will
19:20
usually take about 45 minutes if you do
19:23
it correctly and never quit stirring
19:26
that's the secret yeah you got to watch
19:28
it or you you'll burn it you've got to
19:30
completely stir it does it matter is a
19:32
cast iron skillet the best place to do a
19:34
r i like a cast iron skillet for that uh
19:37
but you don't it's not required but I
19:41
tell you what I ran up on a product but
19:46
uh somebody gave me an a a a
19:49
basket of gifts and it had a jar Rue in
19:55
it and I said well you know a jarred
19:58
already prepared rub and I tried it and
20:02
it was very very good it was a good
20:06
product so if you're having trouble
20:09
Blake go in search of a already prepared
20:12
R in a glass jar at your grocery store
20:16
bang but 45 minutes of constant stirring
20:19
is going to be your secret cool thank
20:21
you Blake and thanks to everybody out
20:23
there watching and listening to the
20:25
Pauline podcast I'm Bobby Dean this is
