Tony Portera was already an ultra athlete when he called Vinnie for advice, but he always felt too heavy and wanted to lose weight to be a more efficient runner. Listen in as they discuss Tony’s journey with NSNG …

Badwater 135 and NSNG

  • Tony started NSNG 5 months before Badwater
  • Wanted to not only lose weight but see if he could do this race running on high fat
  • This year Badwater, a 135 mile race, started with a 22-24 mile uphill run and Tony used no sugar during climb
  • Fueling on almost no carbs and did far better than he did before and ran the entire race almost entirely on NSNG

Weight loss and NSNG

  • Tony is 5’9” and weighed 209 pounds before NSNG
  • On his own, he lost weight and went down to 180 pounds but then he hit a weight loss plateau
  • His diet at the time was lots of sugar, pizza, pasta and increased his exercise
  • That’s when he found Vinnie…and by February 2014, he went pure NSNG and today he weighs 141 pounds

What NSNG Means To Tony

  • No sugar and no grains
  • He was miserable for the first 2-3 weeks
  • After that he slept better, had no cravings and ran better
  • During a race, he fuels on olives, cheese, Pocket Fuel and salami
  • So fat adapted that during a 5-hour run he only needs water, some olives and some salami
