Lipstick On A Pig

  • Vinnie and Chris have been working hard on manufacturing challenges. (3:00)
  • There is a change in marketing around diet. (10:00)
    • Pop-Tarts is claiming it has a high-protein version.
      • They review the ingredients list. (15:30)
  • It’s essential to develop the persistence to achieve the success you want. (24:00)
  • Other junk foods, such as Doritos, add protein.
    • But don’t be fooled! Adding protein to crappy food doesn’t make the crappy food “healthy.” (25:00)
    • It’s just putting “lipstick on a pig”! 
  • Metabolic damage can be seen in just a few short weeks when eating ultra-processed foods. (26:30)
    • Chris discusses a study on weight gain from consuming ultra-processed foods. (27:00)
  • Even if a brand you have used before has clean ingredients, you need to be vigilant and keep checking the ingredients, since companies will often add things that aren’t good, such as seed oils. (33:00)
  • California has claimed it will be ridding school lunches of junk food, but it is spreading the goal out over several years. (38:00)

There Are Choices

  • GLP-1s are now available as oral medication, but do they cause the same effect as the injectable ones? (49:30)
    • The same dose is marketed as “similar.” (51:00)
  • People who have followed and stuck to NSNG have gotten off multiple medications.
  • Personally, Vinnie stays away from certain meds, including hormones, because he wants to avoid a recurring cancer. (53:00)
  • There are often a lot of things you can do before you turn to meds in many cases. (55:00)
    • Proper nutrition, exercise (especially weight training), and things like vitamin D and magnesium help!
    • Vinnie gives an example of how he has naturally improved his testosterone levels.
    • You have to actually push yourself beyond a certain comfort level to see and feel a difference. (1:02:30)
    • Sarcopenia happens to everyone, but you can absolutely fight it. (1:04:00)
  • Don’t forget to sign up for the NSNG VIP group. Vinnie’s video workouts will be free to all members! (1:05:00)
