by Vinnie Tortorich

After one year of NSNG Scott Goldberg lost 56 lbs and got to see his Abs again!

Scott Goldberg Before and After

Scott Goldberg wrote…….”I’m 58 and was 238 lbs a year ago in December 2016. I’ve tried so many things to lose weight. There were the 2 years of spinning 4-5 days a week and just losing a couple of pounds. The winter of 2016 I was riding 60-70 miles a week and lifting weights 3-4 days a week. I lost 15 lbs. Nothing has ever helped me get to my goal of seeing my abs 1 more time. I tried to be healthy with almost no sugar and always healthy grains. As a matter of fact, the night before I first heard Vinnie’s podcast, my wife had made wild rice and mushroom risotto. That had to be healthy, right? My friend DeeDee Lynch Silverstein, someone who knows Vinnie, had been telling me to listen to a podcast. So at the gym the next day I did. I’m an IT guy and respect logic. So when Vinnie described the science of No Sugar No Grains (NSNG), it hit me like a ton of bricks. I gave up sugars and grains that day, and haven’t looked back. I thought if I could get down to 210 lbs, it would be amazing. I haven’t been under 220 for 30 years. Well 210 came and went, and so did 200 and 190. I’ve been zero carb for a couple of weeks because I couldn’t move passed 188. Today I’m 182 and am in the gym 6-7 days a week. I feel great and can just about see those abs.”

by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 1004 – Gina Grad joins Vinnie for this Sunday School, and the two talk about the study that concludes “obesity is contagious”.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

OBESITY IS CONTAGIOUS

  • It isn’t contagious like a cold
    • You won’t “catch” obesity
  • But, if people around you are eating badly, you’re more likely to eat badly
  • We tend to resemble those who are more similar to us
    • Ie – people of the
  • Social pressure to eat badly and binge eat
  • Try to stay strong and not eat bad food just because your friends are!
  • Almost more important for parents to learn
  • NSNG is a lifestyle, not a diet
  • Social eating can also really be a problem
  • If you are addicted to sugar, stay away from those who won’t stop encouraging you to eat it
  • If you are going for a playdate or a sleepover, eat before you go so you don’t eat badly!

No Sugar No Grains #NSNG – REAL Before and After Stories-Robert Stanton

by Vinnie Tortorich

Roberts Story: Robert Stanton is a 55 year old comic who died once from a heart attack, then almost died again a few years later of a pulmonary embolism. After several procedures and medications the doctors couldn’t find the problem. Robert was told to get his affairs in order. Preparing for the worst, Robert took a farewell tour to The Netherlands to meet a very dear friend, said “Hello/Goodbye” then stopped off in Amsterdam to see @AdamCarolla. Later Robert was listening to Adams Podcast, @TheAdamCarollaShow (ACS) and first learned of me (Vinnie Tortorich) and the No Sugar No Grains way of eating. “I thought you were nuts!” said Robert. But Robert was willing to do anything to live and when @GinaGrad (Adam Carolla’s sidekick) said she was going head first into the No Sugar No Grains #NSNG lifestyle, Robert did the same.

Roberts Outcome: Before embracing and NSNG lifestyle robert weighed 364 lbs. One year later Robert has lost 159 lbs and no longer takes any of the 14 medications he was previously prescribed. “I am in the best health of my life!” says Robert.

Robert S Before and After



Roberts Father: In November Roberts father contracted the flu, he became septic and almost died. His Doctor said if he didn’t lose weight by cutting out sugar and carbs he would be at considerable risk. Robert says he was shocked a Doctor actually told him what he had been doing for the last year was the right thing. Roberts father fully committed to a No Sugars No Grains lifestyle and has lost over 25 lbs so far.

Roberts message: The most important part of his story came last week when as a 25+ year Type 2 Diabetic my father’s Doctor removed him from Insulin and Actos. Thank you Vinnie, from the bottom of my heart (which works now) and because of you I have my good intentions back!

  • Listened to Rich Roll, heard about Vinnie without realizing he was Vinnie’s brother
    • He was running marathons and the like at the time

    • He also appeared on the show before
  • No longer Vegan but NSNG!
  • Todd has made the change in Louisiana, where it is particularly difficult to cut out sugar and grians
  • His wife is finally onboard!

THE CURE FOR VEGANISM

  • Todd has been NSNG for about 2 years now
  • Everything Vinnie has said in their phone calls has worked

  • Now that he’s eating all real foods, he can see how much healthier he is
  • Lots of people have gotten off of statins with NSNG
    • Vinnie is not a doctor, though, he cannot and will not advise you when it comes to taking or not taking medication

  • One person at a time!

Vinnie Answers Your Questions on Facebook Live – Episode 986

by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 986 – Instead of our usual Wednesday episode with Andy, we play a special episode where Vinnie answers your questions about supplements, amino acids, calorie restriction, protein powders and so much more on Facebook Live.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

VINNIE ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS 

  • Approximately once a week, Vinnie answers questions on Facebook Live
    • Usually you can catch him on Sunday evenings
    • Add him on FB, or just join the FB group so you don’t miss him
  • Ask your questions and he tries to get to as many as possible
  • This show is a recording of one of those FB Live feeds!
  • Great way to get info most relevant to you without booking a consult
    • However, consult still best for most detail and most personal application
  • Protein powders = bro science
  • Supplements – many are bro science, vitamins are great if you need them and they don’t have gunk like silica in them (check out PVC)
  • Calorie restriction is a poor way to lose weight
    • Diets based on calorie restriction are largely designed to fail so you come back
    • Not sustainable long-term
    • Takes a toll on your body when you starve yourself
    • Just eat real foods with NSNG!
