Veganism and Lethargy

by Vinnie Tortorich

Todd Branch asks questions concerning veganism, lethargy, and NSNG on this Saturday edition of the Angriest Trainer podcast.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

  • Pure Vitamin Club

TODD BRANCH 

  • Works with Vinnie’s brother
  • Listened to Rich Roll, heard about Vinnie without realizing he was Vinnie’s brother
  • Was  struggling with lethargy for a year after he became vegan
    • For performance enhancement and better recovery time
  • He and Vinnie have done 3 or 4 phone calls thus far; Todd finds them very helpful
  • No longer Vegan but NSNG!
    • Knocked off ~6 lb after switching

TODD’S LETHARGY

  • For awhile now, Todd had to take a nap in the afternoon each day
    • Ongoing for about a year — now done
  • Fruit may be the cause of this, as well as grains — on such a diet, the fat is in coconut oil and avocados, etc
  • “Light” feeling from veganism as well as refreshing clarity
  • After Todd cut out grain and such, the lethargy went away!
  • Now Todd will eat chicken and a burger, green shakes, etc

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

  • Pure Vitamin Club

VINNIE’S WORK AROUND THE HOUSE

  • Vinnie can now get on a ladder and clean the gutters after his surgery
    • He likes doing this!
  • A couple pictures of this ended up on Facebook
    • People weren’t commenting on his arm… rather, on his behind
  • Fact of the matter is: Vinnie’s shoulder is doing super well! He has come a long way

PVS BROAD SPECTRUM MAGNESIUM CAP

  • It brings together several different types of magnesium : broad spectrum
    • Magnesium glycinate
    • Magnesium carbonate
    • Magnesium taurate
    • Magnesium citrate
  • Worked to get best result from a magnesium supplement
  • Magnesium can act as a laxative
    • This one will not be too strong because of the magnesium mix
    • Citrate is the one that has a laxative effect (and carbonate to an extent)
    • Taurate and glycinate do not so it works out that the pill is not heavily a laxative
  • Followed FDA guidelines
    • Most people do not want to take more than 350mg
    • Ours is 200mg — an effective, healthy amount
      • This way, if you need more, you can take more
        • But consult a doctor about that!
  • Muscle relaxation, mental relaxation, cardiovascular improvements, bone strength, mental clarity

PODCASTING AND VOICEOVERS

  • Vinnie used to have big issues with losing and straining his voice on podcasts
  • NSNG can stop post nasal drip, good for podcasting and voice overs!

SILVER STATE’S 508

  • People had to quit early due to exhaustion
  • Zone two training important for this type of thing
  • Vinnie and Andy had trouble finding good food on the way back from Reno

THIS WEEK’S AMAZON WINNER

  • Bugra Balaban bought things like protein
    • He has lost hundreds of pounds from NSNG!
  • Submit what you bought through Vinnie’s Amazon link
  • Win a shirt or a hat or something

FAT ADAPTIVE

  • Does sugar-love ruin this?
  • Fat adaptive means your body burns fat for energy
  • To become fat adaptive
    • Stay away from complex carbs
    • Let carbs come from veggies and fruit
    • Protein is good!
  • This is not ketosis
  • You do not use up the excess glycogen in our system
    • We need a certain amount of glycogen in our system but it is so easy to be reached
      • Veggies and fruit will allow one to reach this
  • Ketones change those triglyceride chains and burn the fat
  • This only works if you aren’t eating too much fat and no carbs
  • Stops using processed foods as energy and has to go to stores
