PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

TACO BOWLS

  • Check out the video of this podcast on YouTube.
  • You can watch Anna make a taco bowl.
  • She’s using the whole hour, but really it only takes 15-20 minutes to make.
  • Don’t drain the liquid off of your meat.
    • Get all that good fat! 
    • 75/25 grass fed ground beef is the way to go.
  • Taco bowls/salads are a great, easy and flavorful meal.
    • Vinnie likes them in the morning, too.
  • Anna makes her own salsa for these bowls.
  • And her own taco seasoning!
  • Spices will keep your meals interesting.
  • She starts with olive oil to cook her veggies — if she’s just doing the meat, she won’t add oil first.
  • Radishes can give you some crunch.

STATINS AREN’T A CURE

  • Vinnie would suggest trying to find a doctor who will help you avoid STATINS.
  • There is so much misinformation about cholesterol numbers out there and what constitutes healthy cholesterol numbers.
  • You need cholesterol, and having a high number isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  
    • In fact, your brain needs cholesterol to function — or it will make more!
  • If you really wanna figure out if your cholesterol is good, ‘total cholesterol’ is not the number to look at.
    • A good ratio is very important!
  • Doctors then push STATINS on people without looking further into their numbers.
    • They’re even prescribing them prophylactically.
      • Even great doctors do this, they’re just following the charts.
  • STATINS might keep your cholesterol artificially in a ‘good’ range, but it’s a Band-Aid — not a cure.

Packaged Keto Food Ingredients – Episode 2075

by Vinnie Tortorich

 Episode 2075: On this Wednesday’s show, Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk packaged keto food ingredients, grocery store “real estate,” and more.
 

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

PACKAGED KETO FOOD INGREDIENTS

• The show opens up with Vinnie frustrated by a common theme in recent consults. People have been telling him that they have started buying packaged “keto foods” yet can’t figure out why their success has waned.
• Ingredients like arrowroot and cassava flours, potato and tapioca starches, konjac, and others are not grains but are often used in “keto” processed foods. They are all starches, which behave in your body like sugar. Vinnie says to stay away from them.
• Similar issues are happening with other natural sugars like molasses, agave nectar, honey, and others—the body treats all sugars the same.
• Many of the “keto health foods” at ExpoWest are filled with these types of ingredients and are therefore *not* NSNG®.

GROCERY STORE REAL ESTATE

• Food manufacturers buy up “real estate” in grocery stores for specific placement to encourage more sales. It’s all planned and part of marketing and sales.
• Vinnie and Andy discuss a few previous advertising campaigns about food, and also the strategy of packaging and placement in stores.
• The best way to shop for food at the grocery store is to stay along the outer aisles, as that’s where items like fresh produce and dairy are usually placed.

Battling Pre-Diabetes – Episode 2064

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2064 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk with Marie Tortorich, the saint. Anna and Vinnie also talk battling pre-diabetes, keeping cancer away, learning to cook and eat healthily, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BATTLING PRE-DIABETES

  • Anna’s dad recently was diagnosed with pre-diabetes.
  • He’s 81 and doesn’t eat very well.
  • The doctor suggested he cut out sweets and carbs.
  • So, he’s cut down — but not cut out.
    • For example, he’s sharing his fries instead of having his own.
  • This is a good place to start.
  • Anna told him to get his A1C tested again in 6 months and he agreed.
    • If it’s still a problem, she’ll try to suggest he cut out these things completely!

KEEPING CANCER AWAY

  • A person Anna and Vinnie know battled cancer.
  • Now, he’s keeping it away with a low carb diet.
  • He was a guy who could eat anything without gaining weight — but he really wants to make sure he doesn’t feed cancer.
  • Folks who look healthy still can have serious, diet-related health issues.
  • That’s why this is important for everyone, not just those with weight to lose.

Dissatisfying Meals & More – Episode 2049

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2049 – On this Monday show, Vinnie and Anna talk dissatisfying meals, shrinkflation, neighborhood watch, Eat Happy Kitchen, KetoCon 2022, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DISSATISFYING MEALS

  • Vinnie has been in search of a good burger joint in Virginia.
  • The burgers are either not great or tiny!
  • It really should be easier to find a good piece of meat with a slice of cheese on it.
  • The amount of protein in these burgers is minimal compared the amount of carbs they throw on your plate.
  • Vinnie tried Five Guys, too.
  • The burger patties are around 3 or 4 ounces in many of these places.
    • It’s terrible, and hard to get full on the healthy stuff without spending a fortune.
  • Serena and Vinnie talk about shrinkflation as they see more and more places do this — with salmon and other food, too.

KETOCON 2022

  • Vinnie and Anna will be there this year!
  • It takes place July 8 to July 10 in Austin, TX.
  • Get your tickets now! 
  • We’ll talk about this more soon.

Episode 2034 – On this Monday episode, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk Pam & Tommy, the NSNG® hat, Beyond Impossible success, Eat Happy Kitchen® marinara, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

THE NSNG® HAT

  • We sold out of our first run of the hat!
  • Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
  • But, we’re talking about how we can do a second batch.
  • We might take orders and folks will have to wait about a month.
  • Keep checking the website and stay tuned.
  • Make sure to scoop yours up if we do end up doing another limited run.
  • Vinnie isn’t here to make profit, but he does love when folks rep NSNG®!

EAT HAPPY KITCHEN® MARINARA

  • Anna makes the BEST low carb, healthy marinara.
  • Good reviews relieve her soul and make her feel so good!
  • These sauces are delicious.
  • If, for whatever reason, there’s an issue with your delivery–a jar is broken by UPS, or something of the like–reach out to the company. Anna wants to make it right.
  • She has citric acid in the marinara — as do all other tomato sauces.
    • This is not a danger. Please do not be wrongly spooked.

Holiday Life Into Living – Episode 2004

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2004 – On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk Vinnie’s mom, holiday life into living, day drinking (or not), marketing sugar, affordable NSNG®, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

PRE-ORDER BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE

  • Vinnie’s new documentary is now available for pre-order on Apple TV (iTunes).
  • This is his third documentary in just over three years.
    • He thought about distributing this movie himself, but Gravitas loved it so much that they partnered up again.
  • It will be available on January 11th. 
  • Vinnie wants this to reach the people who have begun vegetarianism or veganism because they care about their health and want to be healthy, but have thus far been lied to.
    • All of this processed crap is not the healthy option, and this documentary explains why.
  • Here is the link to the pre-order: http://bit.ly/beyondimpossibleitunes
    • Share this link with friends, too!

HOLIDAY LIFE INTO LIVING

  • Vinnie’s mom, Marie, had surgery several months ago,
  • He went home to take care of her.
    • At the time, she weighed close to 200 lbs.
  • Vinnie had his parents eat NSNG® while he was there, and they enjoyed it more than they thought.
  • Since, they have largely kept up eating healthily — especially his mom.
    • Vinnie’s mom is now down to 135 lbs!
  • This weight loss allowed her 
  • For the Christmas show, you might have heard Marie talk about lots of non-NSNG® foods.
    • Vinnie gets it!
    • If he were there, he’d probably have eaten some of the unhealthy foods to a degree. 
      • But the next meal, he’d be back to strict NSNG®.
  • Anna also puts some holiday LIL.
    • Her family has a tradition of tamales on Christmas Eve.
  • It’s good to avoid talking about diet mentality for one meal.
    • Simply put, it’s easier to just eat and enjoy for one meal.
      • However, if you feel you can’t do LIL without spinning out of control, stick to your guns.

MARKETING SUGAR

  • Part of why people get so out of control over the holidays is the marketing.
  • We’ve turned something that should be about two days of really indulging (Thanksgiving and Christmas), and made it over a month.
  • The “pumpkin spice” movement and the like have made this so much worse.
