NSNG means no grains of any kind, and relatively no sugar other than that found in things like fruit.  Generally, artificial sweeteners and chemicals can also prevent ketosis or a real weight losing state of being.  NSNG is a low carb high fat lifestyle rather than a diet, and those who pursue NSNG often feel better both physically and mentally, and are able to be their best selves on it.  Of course, Vinnie supports putting life into living and having a little non-NSNG snack every now and then, but being strict with oneself when it comes to losing weight on NSNG is often important.  Everyone is different, however — while diets high in dairy may still allow some to lose weight, it may prevent others from losing it, and starchy foods like potatoes can also affect people differently.  Look for foods with low glycemic indexes and make sure you are eating enough each day!
