Episode 2865: Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss hunger signals, protein, the food noise fix, and building new habits.
The Food Noise Fix
- Pumpkin spice and candy season. (2:00)
- Sylvester Stallone has a new book out that Vinnie is enjoying. (6:00)
- You can find it in Vinnie’s Book Club here: https://tinyurl.com/slystllnebooksteps
- Anna shares that she sells her products at a local Pavilions during pumpkin spice season. (10:45)
- Vinnie describes a two-hour consultation with “Joey Six Pack,” a professional trainer seeking advice on fitness trends, particularly GLP-1 medications. (19:45)
- GLP-1 drugs are portrayed as potentially helpful for starting weight loss, especially for people with significant weight to lose.
- Users should develop sustainable eating habits in case they eventually stop taking the medication.
- “Food noise” refers to persistent thoughts or urges surrounding food; the term reportedly became popular through GLP-1 user testimonials and media exposure.
- Is it truly a good idea to always suppress “food noise, since hunger is a natural biological signal?
- Highly processed carbohydrates, such as chips, are presented as foods that can stimulate appetite and encourage continued eating.
- Protein- and fat-rich foods, such as steak, are described as more filling and less likely to lead to overeating.
- An optimal diet includes meat, fish, chicken, eggs, dairy products, and vegetables—particularly cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kale.
- Eating more protein is also recommended to support muscle development when combined with strength training.
- The central message is to limit junk food, prioritize filling whole foods, and establish healthy eating habits rather than relying solely on medication, calorie counting, or portion-control tricks.
- Remember, Vinnie’s suggestions should not *replace* individualized medical or nutritional advice.

Protein Intake and Muscle
- Anna saw a question on X about increasing protein but not using it to build muscle through exercise training. (39:00)
- Being on a GLP-1 should require increased protein and strength training, since a side effect is often lean muscle loss.
- Protein helps muscles build, but it will do little unless you stimulate the muscle to grow.
- Only work the muscles you plan on keeping! (44:00)
- People struggle to understand that once you become fat-adapted (through lower carb intake and ketosis), your body automatically tamps down “food noise.” (48:00)
