Muscle Is King

  • Vinnie has issues with snakes. (3:00)
  • Jim is the first call-in guest, who discovered Vinnie’s podcast through Mike Rowe. (5:30)
    • There is such a thing as overeating even of healthy foods.
    • Vinnie shares an example of how even NSNG-friendly foods can sneak in too often.
    • Jim asks about balancing fats and proteins. (19:00)
    • Everyone in diet culture wants rigid, perfect ratios, but just find a good average that works for you. (20:15)
  • Anna is the next guest and shares how she started NSNG®. (26:30)
    • She has come a long way and is now running ultramarathons.
    • She has also changed her life in other areas that have helped, including reducing alcohol.
    • There are still ultrarunners who load up with high-carb gels, etc, and it’s not necessary. You can train your body to use fat as fuel, even for ultramarathons. (36:00)
  • Darren is the third guest. (44:30)
    • He shares his health background and how he discovered Vinnie.

    • Darren has been thorough in doing his reading and research, and all the science luminaries validate what Vinnie has been preaching for years. (54:30)
    • Simply removing the highly processed foods makes a huge difference. (1:00:00)
    • Be sure to strength train to avoid losing muscle during your weight loss—muscle is king!
    • Darren has another question about getting hungry even after a large meal.
      • He had been doing OMAD, but that could be the problem.
