Episode 1489 – Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk steakhouses, Dr. Oz, an NSNG® 101 refresher course, Vinnie’s brother, and more on this Monday show.
NSNG® 101
- Around the New Year, we tend to have some new folks listening to the podcast.
- First of all, No Sugars, No Grains.
- What does that mean?
- Quinoa is a grain. So is corn.
- NO grains, not ‘healthy’ grains (no such thing).
- Sugars include sweeteners (erithyrol, stevia, etc.)
- What does that mean?
- We recommend fully committing for a full 60 days before trying something like french fries.
- This is about eating real, healthy foods.
- The goal of NSNG® is NOT necessarily dietary ketosis.
- It varies person to person.
- Vinnie lives in dietary ketosis, but you don’t NEED ketosis to to be healthy and lose weight.
- It varies person to person.
- Stick to fatty cuts of meets and cruciferous veggies.
- Main cruciferous veggies: cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts, kale, bok choy, etc.
- Olive oil, coconut oil are both good.
- If possible, try to stick with non-factory farmed animal products.
- If you’ve just started, ‘keto flu‘ is normal for the first little bit.
- Make sure you’re eating lots of salt, drinking extra water.
- It WILL pass, your body is just flushing out the bad.
- Drinking pickle juice or bone broth can help.
- Don’t focus on the scale. Focus on how you feel.
- Pictures are also better than the scale.
- Doing before/after blood work can also be good.
- Tickets will get more expensive as time goes by.
