Cooking with Anna Vocino – Episode 1839

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1839 – On this Monday show, we’re cooking with Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich. Anna prepares flank steak and the two talk meat dry rubs, grazing, workout tips and lean muscle, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

COOKING WITH ANNA VOCINO

  • You can mix some meat rubs together ahead of time.
  • Anna’s cooking some flank steak.
  • But, you can just throw stuff you have together for a rub.
  • Anna uses ancho chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, onion powder, allspice, cayenne pepper.
  • You have lots of savory flavors, but allspice (which is NOT a sugar) adds a hint of sweet.
  • Anna recommends leaving the meat out for awhile before cooking.
  • She’s also making some guacamole!
    • Instead of onions, try shallots.
    • She’s taking the seeds out of the heirloom tomato and saving it for topping with cilantro –– for now, just put in the rough edges.
    • Also, add some jalapeno.
  • Anna will eat this on top of the carne asada she’s making.

GRAZING

  • Eating so often is not good for you.
  • We are not meant to graze.
  • Getting off of snacks is a good and important thing.
  • If you’re hungry during the day, you may be getting hidden carbs that are messing with your hormones, or you may not be eating enough fat.
  • You do NOT need to fast, but you can.

LEAN MUSCLE

  • You will get your leanness in the kitchen.
  • More muscle=lower reps + higher weights.
  • Go slow and steady.

Ultra Events While Fat Adapted – Episode 1834

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1834 – On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk ultra events while fat adapted, eggs and good oils, protein powders, Alex’s weight loss, Anna’s Eat Happy recipes, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

ULTRA EVENTS WHILE FAT ADAPTED

  • When you’re fat adapted, you can still do ultras.
  • Serena will have some coffee and maybe an egg or two before a long run.
    • On the run, she’ll have olives or an Ultra Fat while going 30 miles.
  • When she gets back, she’ll eat a lot!
  • Some people need to eat more before they exercise; others do not.
  • Take care of yourself, but you can do it low carb.

PROTEIN POWDERS

  • Vinnie is not a big protein powder guy.
  • It’s better to get your protein from whole foods.
  • However, if you need to do a protein powder, Vinnie says egg-white or whey.
    • Make sure these are NOT flavored and do NOT have any sneaky sugars.

Learning the Lifestyle – Episode 1817

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1817 – On this Saturday show, Ashley Penkal joins Vinnie to talk turning around your health, learning the lifestyle and sharing it with others, free and simple NSNG®, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

LEARNING THE LIFESTYLE

  • For years, Ashley’s mother in law told her to cut out grains after she read wheat belly.
  • Then, she heard Vinnie on the Saturday show.
  • In 2018, Ashley went all in.
  • At first, she looked for substitutions to everything –– bread substitute, crust substitute, and the like.
    • When she got over this, it was freeing and it helped her take the next step with her health.
  • Ashley and Vinnie have both been teachers.
    • They recognize it can be hard to learn how to live this lifestyle.
      • With each new person, you have to start from step 1.
        • Each time you teach, you learn what else you might need to teach.
  • Be patient with new folks –– unlearning the health lies you’ve been told and beginning to learn how to eat healthily can be difficult, especially when people are looking for substitutes.
  • Ashley has lost lots of weight.
    • She looks younger, she feels better, and she’s never going back.

Evening Stiffness & Learning to Ski – Episode 1804

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1804 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk the beginning of this podcast, taking this show to the next level, pork chops, leg and back evening stiffness, learning to ski, booty workouts, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

THIS PODCAST

  • We started podcasting before podcasting was really a thing!
  • We’ve seen it all: Skype, Zoom pre-COVID, and more.
  • Now, we want to take our show to the next level.
  • Keep on the lookout for videos attached to podcasts (with cooking, workouts, etc.), and live shows, too.
  • In the next few weeks, hopefully we will take phone calls, too.

EVENING STIFFNESS

  • Anna has been using her stationary bike.
  • She’s really been enjoying this exercise.
  • In the evening, she has some upper leg and lower back stiffness.
    • It’s not lactic acid stiffness, but it’s her getting fit.
      • Do not fear, unless it is truly painful or immobile rather than just stiff.
  • Anna exercises in Zone 2, and goes on walks in addition.

LEARNING TO SKI

  • Vinnie really threw himself into skiing.
  • He threw himself on the ground in the bunny slope.
  • And then, he skied backwards. 
    • If you can do it backwards, you can do it forwards!
  • Vinnie made himself comfortable with falling and being uncomfortable.

NSNG® Grocery Shopping – Episode 1774

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1774 – On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk old radio, rollerskating, NSNG® grocery shopping, avoiding sweeteners, listener questions, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

NSNG® GROCERY SHOPPING

  • You don’t need fancy cuts.
  • Get normal cuts! You don’t need organic, too.
  • Usually, cheaper cuts of meat also have more fat, which is good for this lifestyle.
  • Things with bones will usually be cheaper.
    • Bones are good for flavor, marrow, and to make broth later on.
  • Get a whole chicken!
  • Buy what you can afford that is physically available to you.
  • Dairy usually lasts around a week past its expiration date.
    • So do eggs!
  • For meat, eat it right away or just freeze it.
  • You can eat this way on a budget!

PROCESSED STEVIA

  • First, avoid processed foods generally.
  • Also, stevia is not good!
  • Stevia here is highly processed, as are these other crazy sweeteners.
  • NSNG® includes no sweeteners.
  • Get off of these and diet soft drinks.

SUPER BOWL
