The married couple behind 2 Can Lose.com
Tim Kistler was born in a small rural town outside Cleveland, Ohio. Following his family into the beauty industry, Mr. Kistler moved to Southern California in 1981 and enrolled in college at Rosston School of Design. Mr. Kistler has been involved in the beauty industry for the past 44 years and has observed and noted certain unspoken social influences that directly hindered his client's ability to achieve a healthy life style which encouraged him to share his findings with friends and the world here at "2 Can Lose" as well as in his #1 Amazon book "Hairstyles Change-People Don't."
Toni Kistler was born in Anaheim, California. Always having an interest in the beauty industry from her youngest years entered Rosston School of Design in 1982 which launched her into the beauty industry and years of success. In 2009 Ms. Kistler set her sights on formulating a totally all natural American Made skin care line, Era of Olive Oil, which is sold on our family shopping cart.
The 2.canlose.com web site was established to feature real life content, writings which are focused on weight loss for couples and families. An unique, never used before approach to encourage dialogue between couples directing them to revisit their covenant wedding vows pertaining to two becoming one flesh (Genesis 2:24). Couples making a renewed oath to one another to better dialogue their daily eating routine when they are apart and releasing their partner from any guilt, no finger pointing. Instead offering pure love, support and excitement regarding the new path they have taken together. Discussing previous poor food choices, one another drilling down on what triggers these urges in them. Toni and I found it was as simple as replacing the potato chips in our cupboard to nuts and fruit. We also are drinking twice the water; a much better choice over sodas.
2canlose.com has personally witnessed the benefits of engaging in healthy conversation with your spouse. Both parties will begin openly communicating their good and bad food choices which will equate into a healthier food choices in the family with the benefit being weight loss together.
The bases behind 2canlose.com is to encourage total oneness when it comes to the weight; perhaps combining your weight, tracking your combined weight with one goal. An oneness that will be carried into the planning of the meals as well as the family exercise routine. 2 can lose.com was developed to help trigger a paradigm shift to weight loss within the marriage, reinforcing a "He's eating for her and She's eating for him" concept. What can be done to fight the internal clock?
DON'T PULL BACK ON VALUABLE CALORIES: A rigorous exercise program needs calories, low calorie intake reduces testosterone levels at an alarming rate in just the first week of an exercise program. You must intake enough calories to avoid setting off your body's starvation alarm.
Nutrients aid in muscle building. Don't listen to outdated weight programs- they'll tell you to cut calories, reduce fat, and cut back on eggs and meat. We remind you of the government food pyramid that was updated in January 2026 with a dietary guideline emphasizing whole foods over processed foods and encouraging higher protein intake at every meal which we posted above. These are nutrients that build testosterone levels and in return create muscle growth. If you want to lose fat, increase muscle and increase testosterone, it's time to workout and eat the right foods.
What kind of exercise?
Walking and running are great but not all of us have the knees and joints for that. What ever your choice, start slow, incorporate some weight lifting.
It is recommended you see a physician before starting a new exercise program to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your health condition. I did my check-up through Life Line Screening for $149. Some things were reveled which I had to take care of but it's a new year and I'm back.
It's well known that resistance training is key. You'll build and restore much needed muscle and raise testosterone levels at the same time.
Testosterone's connection to Vitamin D.
Vitamin D is a nutrient that helps the body absorb calcium which is important for healthy bones, immune system, a longer life and better testosterone production.
It has been discovered low testosterone was tied to a vitamin D deficiency in men, higher testosterone levels were measured after a consistent daily vitamin D intake .
Testosterone can be increased via cruciferous vegetables. (Cruciferae, Neo-Latin for "cross-bearing") from the shape of their flowers, whose four petals resemble a cross. They are high in vitamin C and soluble fiber (which dissolves in water) and contain multiple nutrients and phytochemicals.
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- cabbage
- brussels sprouts
- bok choy "Chinese cabbage"
- kale
- collard greens
- turnips
And an article ending bonus point!
Extra virgin olive oil as a main source of fat can increase testosterone levels 15% plus.

We are excited to share our "Covenant" weight loss breakthrough with our friends and the world! We have been married 39 years this December 31st and like many couples have each slowly put on weight over the course of our years together.
Barbeques, weddings, birthdays, holidays and the good old "just because it's TV and snack time".
Weight talk is somewhat of a taboo in society, and can be awkward within a relationship and is ignored by many because of the feelings that rise up. To steal a line from Christian comedian, Jeff Allen's Happy wife, happy life video, "what I'm hearing is, you are over weight and we're going on a diet."
The Good News- we were blessed with a moment of clarity that lead to a breaking down of the walls of the "don't ask don't tell" eating habits we slept walked ourselves into; we came out of our food coma wondering where all the weight came from and how to reverse it.
Why was this weight loss conversation different than all the others?
This isn't the first time we both wanted to lose some weight but what was different this time was the holy spirit's intervention into directing us back to the day we married and our wedding vows, the covenant, the promise to be united until death does us part, in sickness and in health. We began to dialogue in depth how we needed to battle this weight gain together, using our covenant to one another as the foundation to a successful, healthy life style together! Genesis 2:24
It wasn't a bet, it wasn't a challenge.
What was placed on our hearts was that this was not to be a challenge to your mate but a combined journey. We have researched relationship weight lost and have found cases where people actually lost weight because their spouse challenged them to a weight lost contest. These challenges can be short lived and may lack long term success. It's too easy after a couple weeks to say "you win" and they are back on the food merry-go-round.
The wedding vows.
2Canlose.com was birthed out of a desire to lose weight as a couple in the perimeters and privacy of our own marriage.
We made a wedding covenant on the evening of December 31st, 1987, 9:00 pm and recently revisited that covenant to enter into an agreed life style change 25 years later. We're excited to share 2canlose.com with your family; join us on this journey through a unique weight loss concept based on the covenant of the wedding vows. For fun dig out that wedding video and listen to those vows and revisit that covenant that will encourage and guide you both.
The Kistler Diet.
We hate the word diet, we prefer to look at food intake through the nutritional prism and by examining the human metabolism! It’s not the BRAT diet- not the Mediterranean diet- not a diet- it’s simply what our ancestor here on planet earth ate a couple thousand years ago. If its processed it wasn’t invented yet and wasn’t part of their diet and soda water (soda pop) was introduced and bottled in the U.S. until 1835. So stick with the foods that were available around 3100 BC.
NO Sugar, NO Starch, NO Alcohol.
What can you eat you ask?
Mr. Kistler discovers a little known fact regarding the aging male and belly fat.
Testosterone
Testosterone helps build muscle mass, and therefore, LOW levels of testosterone actually cause you to lose muscle mass. ... And contributes to the over 30 group losing the belly fat war. The deck is stacked against us. LOW Testosterone also contributes to fatigue, depression, weakness, and hair loss can be a result of lower than normal testosterone levels.
I'll finish with this has a motivating thought that set me on the right course again.
Bryan Johnson in his Netflix biography "Don't Die."
Bryan says don't listen to your mind when it comes to nutrition.
Let your liver, kidneys, lungs and gut tell you what to eat.
Your mind will lead you to the cupcake every time.
It has to no desire to keep you healthy!
