CHANGING YOUR THINKING

  • When Vinnie and Anna were kids, they would hear about “sugar diabetes.” (12:25)
    • Now, this is called Type 2 Diabetes.
  • For many, this is a disease you can reverse. (13:27)
    • Stop eating sugar and grains––this works for many.
    • Make it a permanent lifestyle change; you need to be changing your thinking and realize it’s not “just a diet.”
    • Work with your doctor on this.
  • Anna has a great explanation and rant about the sugar and grain lobbies, and the diet industry. (14:37).
  • NSNG® and turning around your health, are not temporary fixes or fads. (43:30)
    • Once you beat the addiction, you realize how sustainable this is.
    • You are not only healing your body, but you can reveal emotional patterns of eating, which can help you, too.

UNHEALTHY SOUTHERN FOOD

  • The South has terrible obesity rates, and they appear to be getting worse. (49:00)
  • Many of the popular foods there is the reason.
  • There are grains in EVERYTHING; for example, the soups have grains, and the fish and chicken have breading. (23:30)
  • If you live in the South, make an effort to make your food. (25:20)
  • Eat real food, and don’t worry about things like intermittent fasting–as your body heals it will make adjustments on its own. (52:30)

Following a Diet & Bro-Science – Episode 2119

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2119 – On this Monday’s show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino get into topics where bro-science and building muscle conflicts, why following the PDF is not “following a diet”, and offer answers to some listener questions, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FOLLOWING A DIET 

  • This episode leads off differently as a big storm had just gone through Vinnie’s area–but the show must go on.
  • Don’t forget to go to iTunes and rate and review the podcast. This bumps it up in the ratings and allows it to be found easier.
  • Download Vinnie’s PDF and get all the basic guidelines.
  • A person can decide how much they want to stick to the PDF, but your results will show whether being strict or not works best.
  • Anna & Vinnie mention that this is not a “following a diet” because it’s not something you follow temporarily and then go back to old ways of eating.

BRO-SCIENCE

  • Anna has recently spoken to two men who are under the bro-science influence of thinking.
  • They think they need high carbs to gain muscle weight and definition; Vinnie addresses where this idea comes from and why it is incorrect.
  • Vinnie then explains how you should be fueling to build muscle; if you need specific help, it’s best to book a consult and he can further address your questions.

MODIFYING RECIPES & OTHER ANSWERS

  • Vinnie and Anna then answer several listener questions about carbs from vegetables, a few flour substitutes (what works and what doesn’t), and what are some good and bad examples of crunchy snacks.
  • They finish off the episode showing off some of their musical chops.

Revisiting Your Goals & More – Episode 2111

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2111 – On this special Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie, and the two talk about revisiting your goals, our previous shows, BS keto products, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

REVISITING YOUR GOALS

  • Vinnie likes to set several new goals each year.
  • He likes to be able to achieve things.
  • Because of that, he makes sure his goals are achievable and he does his best to stick to them.
    • This year, one of those goals was to learn how to build his own boat.
    • His other goal is that he’ll do at least 365 hours of cardio this year.
      • Each time he does cardio, he keeps time on his watch.
      • On day 143 of the year, he’s over 170 hours of cardio.
        • He’s doing this because some days he won’t be able to exercise, so front-loading helps.
  • It’s important to keep your goals going in the right direction.
  • Now’s a good time to revisit your goals.

OUR PREVIOUS EPISODES

  • We have recently aired our first-ever episode again.
  • Some of our older shows are behind a paywall.

Creating New Sugars – Episode 2089

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2089 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk misbehaving on the internet, creating new sugars, making a difference, staying or getting off of medications, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

CREATING NEW SUGARS

  • There is a patent war over new sugars.
  • They know they haven’t gotten it right.
  • One of them is called tagatose. 
  • They’re saying this is going to be okay for diabetics — this seems oxymoronic.
  • It’s similar to sucrose, and side effects are very similar to things like erythritol. 
    • This doesn’t seem healthy at all.
  • The article also says consumption of more than 30 g (which is something like one coke), will cause gastric disturbance.
    • Clearly, this can’t be good.
  • The sugars don’t even work well and they’re investing billions into it.
  • This makes both Anna and Vinnie sad — they just want people to know the truth and not buy in.
    • Vinnie and Anna vs. billions of dollars. This is a hard battle to fight.
    • We want to make a difference.
