Tough Love And Delayed Gratification – Episode 2337

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2337 – On this Monday’s show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk about artificial sweeteners, fighting sugar addiction with tough love and delayed gratification, and much more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

TOUGH LOVE AND DELAYED GRATIFICATION

  • Vinnie starts the show by noting that he has been approached by several prominent health experts for a possible “summit” event. (2:00)
    • He gets a little concerned because he wants to ensure the NSNG® message stays as pure as possible.
  • The WHO (World Health Organization) recently released an article that discourages using artificial sweeteners. (15:30)
    • Vinnie was giving this advice since the 1980s!
    • Anna reads the article and they discuss why they are a problem.
      • They do not help with long-term weight loss and other undesirable effects. 
      • But then the WHO contradicts itself by saying things like raw sugar and fruit sugars can be ok.
      • The problem with sweet & sugary flavors is that they keep the addiction active, instead of breaking a bad habit. (17:30)
    • Anna and Vinnie dive deeper into the frustration of sugar addiction and how people try to find workarounds and “cheats”. (26:00)
      • Here comes the tough love and delayed gratification (artificial and real sugars) and the benefits of both. (28:00)
      • The only way to get better is to cut out what is causing the problem!
      • Some of Anna’s long-term successes that she has achieved are when she made peace with and accepted delayed gratification.
        • She makes some great points about the benefits of that behavior.
        • Vinnie adds some great examples of his own about this. (32:50)

PERI-MENOPAUSE AND MORE

  • Anna transitions to talking about the challenges of peri-menopause/menopause based on a message she received. (35:40)
    • Starting NSNG® should help with some of the symptoms, and book a consultation with Vinnie if you need some help.
    • Your body doesn’t respond the same way as when you are younger; NSNG® can help you with your hormonal balance.
  • Vinnie shares a question he received from a pregnant listener and his very practical response. (37:30)
  • Also, they talk a bit about not being carb-phobic; Anna elaborates. (50:00)
  • They finish up with some recipe ideas, and Anna rips open the time-space continuum.
  • Also, listen for the May promo code for NSNG® Foods’ UltraFat offer!

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2321 – On this Friday’s show Vinnie Tortorich brings in Anna Vocino to review the basics of NSNG® for newcomers to the show, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

A LITTLE INTRODUCTION

  • This episode is to review the basics of NSNG for the new “Rowebies”. (2:00)
    • That’s the nickname given to people who have discovered NSNG® after listening to Vinnie on the Mike Rowe Podcast.
  • It is not uncommon for people to have consultations with Vinnie to stay on track, even if they’ve been NSNG for a long time.
  • Vinnie describes how he started NSNG. (17:15)
    • Vinnie has been an ultra athlete for years, yet got leukemia.
    • He describes what part of his lifestyle was like as an ultra-athlete.

THE BASICS OF NSNG®

  • They run down the list of what you can and should eat. (28:30)
    • List of Healthy fats, meats, eggs, full-fat dairy, and so much more, and the benefits of each.
  • This list is available in the NSNG e-book, available here.
  • Vinnie shares why you can over-consume the right things when beginning, as you are retraining your hormone responses. (47:00)
  • They explain why CICO (Calorie in, Calorie out) is not effective.
  • You can track macros and/or what you eat if you like, but it is unnecessary!
    • You can be successful without logging everything, so it’s easy.
    • Some people come from a disordered eating or diet mentality, and logging every item can be negative.
  • They chat further about ideal veggies to have. Anna shares ideas. (56:00)
    • However, things like cauliflower crusts should be used with caution.
    • Read the ingredients as they often use a lot of non-friendly fillers like Cassava flour and tapioca starch.
  • Cassava, potatoes, and other tubers are starchy and behave in your system like sugars.
  • They talk about condiments as well. (1:01:00)
    • Anna reminds listeners to read the ingredients list on labels, not the nutritional panel.
      • It’s important to know the actual contents, not just the numbers on the panel.
  • Vinnie and Anna advise newcomers to really give themselves time to acclimate and see results, especially if they have been metabolically broken for a long time. (1:11:00)
  • They also talk about both natural and artificial sweeteners–both are bad!
  • They also review various beverages, and why some are better than others. (1:18:00)
