Episode 2081 – On this Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie again in a continuation of last week’s show to talk more NSNG® basics, including Ultra Fat nut butters, necessary macros, paradigm shifts, the 411 on various vegetables, starches, and flours, and more.
NECESSARY MACROS
- We have a certain number of sugar in our bodies to maintain homeostasis.
- This is about 1 tsp.
- You do not need to eat more sugar to get this.
- Your body can do it through gluconeogenesis — turning protein into sugar.
- Your body only really needs two macros: fat and protein.
- Brains prefer to run on fat!
- Plenty of people do ultra events without taking in any sugar.
- Some will fast, and some will just eat fat.
NSNG® BASICS
- This way of eating is cutting out sugars and grains (and things that your body treats as such, like starches).
- It’s not cutting out everything like vegetables.
- Some people do carnivore, but that’s not strictly what NSNG® is.
- The best vegetables are broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.
- Eat nuts in moderation — but raw nuts like almonds or cashews.
- If you’re eating real food, you don’t need to count your macros.
- Nothing happens overnight here — it’s a paradigm shift.
- Avoid tapioca, cassava, etc., flours.
- Look at the ingredients. You’ll be surprised by what you find in your ‘healthy’ foods.
- Don’t rely too much on the store-bought stuff.
- Just because it says ‘keto’ doesn’t mean it is low-carb of NSNG®.
