by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 839 – Lonnie Beauchamp asks Vinnie one of the most common questions he sees in the Vinnie Tortorich’s No Sugars No Grains Facebook group: how much protein should I eat?

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

HOW MUCH PROTEIN SHOULD I EAT

  • People often ask about protein in the NSNG diet
    • Protein often discussed as ‘most important’ in bro science
  • NSNG believes more fat than protein by a relatively wide margin
    • Especially in ketosis
  • Supplement meals with extra fat once you are fat adapted, etc.

NSNG, Ketosis & the Prius of Diets – Episode 834

by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 834 – Vinnie invites long-time friend and NSNG Facebook Group moderator Lonnie Beauchamp to the show to discuss the biggest questions people have in the group, including whether or not dietary ketosis is necessary in NSNG.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

LONNIE BEAUCHAMP

  • Lonnie essentially runs the Facebook group
    • Mark, Ru El, and Tallulah do as well
  • Has been listening to the show and following NSNG for quite a long time
  • People ask lots of questions in the group, Lonnie tries to answer them (Vinnie does, too)

KETOSIS

  • NOT necessary for weight loss
  • Helpfulness of ketosis is situational
    • For example, for people with cancer, it may have more benefits
  • Ketosis is just a stricter NSNG – keeping carbs to a lower degree in terms of grams

Shredding the Shred Diet – Episode 831

by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 831 – Vinnie gets all riled up about the Shred Diet that claims to “blast out the sugar” while recommending things like drinking fruit juice and adding sugar in coffee.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SHRED DIET

  • This diet is just BS to get money
  • Requires meal replacements
    • NEVER as good as eating REAL FOOD
  • Also encourages a degree of snacking which is bad for those with metabolic syndrome
  • Says to cut out sugar, but incorporates it into diet in many ways
  • 4-week program – money maker to make you come back and try again
  • “Blast the Sugar Out”
    • Absolutely ridiculous and hypocritical
  • The guy has a book but it’s contradictory and ridiculous
  • Small meals, not filling, not good for you
  • Vinnie and Anna do not believe in dieting… they believe in a lifestyle change
    • The “shred diet” is NOT a lifestyle
      • Obsessive and unhealthy

    • 40, 30, 30
    • This preaches a decent amount of grains – not good!!!
