: Episode 1352 – Listener Chris Cornell joins Vinnie this Saturday, and the two discuss his health journey, cutting his soda habit, sustaining weight loss with NSNG

SUSTAINING WEIGHT LOSS
- Has been following Vinnie on Twitter for a long time
- 55 years old, 6’4″
- 278 lbs at his heaviest
- Put on weight after college and could not figure out how to sustain weight loss
- He’d lose weight and gain it back
- Around Thanksgiving a couple years ago he realized he had to do something
- First had to kick his sugar beverage (soda) habit
- Quickly got him down around 15 or 20 lbs
- NSNG® has been the answer for him in terms of continuing weight loss and keeping the weight off
- When he cut calories instead to lose weight, he felt cold and sick
- Also tried veganism which did not work
- Finally found Gary Taubes, and it stuck
- He has felt great with NSNG®
- He is now down to 184
- Possibly partly because of a cancer treatment he recently underwent, though prior to that he was 195
- He now has no sign of cancer!
- Still has to go back for 5 years to make sure
- Anecdotally, he is convinced that his diet helped him survive his treatment
- It put him in a great position health wise prior to starting treatment in terms of weight, etc.
- His doctors back this up
- Vinnie feels his diet has helped make sure his leukemia doesn’t come back, too
