Fruit and NSNG®

: Episode 535 – Vinnie Tortorich brings on listener Anne to discuss fruit and NSNG on this Saturday listeners’  questions edition of the Celebrity Fitness Trainer podcast.

LISTENER ANNE

• Found Vinnie’s podcast from the Adam and Drew show (her husband heard Vinnie and relayed his message to Anne, as she used to be addicted to sugar)
  • Vinnie will be back on Dr. Drew’s show soon and on Adam’s big show!
• Has read books such as Fat Chance by Lustig
• Anne wants to get lean and cut (she is already thin and beautiful)
  • Marathon runner!

Fruit and NSNG

• Because Anne had a sugar addiction, she wants to be careful about eating too much fruit
  • In the morning, Anne will have mixed berries with chia seeds, coconut and some almond milk and eat that with egg/vegetable dish
  • For lunch Anne will have some meat and salad without fruit
  • At night, Anne will have some apple and grapes with almond butter, etc.
• Anne hasn’t broken the cycle but she is close
  • Her body is still using fruit to bridge the sugar gap
    • She needs to break the fruit cycle then she can go back to fruit later on once the “hanger” after dinner stops 
      • Sugar causes our body to release grelin which makes our feelings of hunger come back
  • Eventually, once Anne’s body becomes more fat adapted (this is not the same as in ketosis), fruit can be re-introduced without the same effects
• Harder to become fat adapted while eating fruit
  • Becoming fat adapted can take anywhere from 15-60 days
    • You won’t be hangry anymore
      • No pain and no pangs
• Better to stay away from the more tropical fruits
  • Berries are the best!! Lowest Glycemic Index

LACTOSE AND NSNG

• Everyone is different
• You have to test it, and if you plateau and/or gain weight while drinking milk nd eating lots of yogurt, try cutting it out and seeing what works
• You have to tweak your body to buy into ketone bodies
• Once your body figures everything out, you can re-introduce, etc.
