Angriest Trainer 299: Tony Portera

by Vinnie Tortorich

Tony Portera was already an ultra athlete when he called Vinnie for advice, but he always felt too heavy and wanted to lose weight to be a more efficient runner. Listen in as they discuss Tony’s journey with NSNG …

Badwater 135 and NSNG

  • Tony started NSNG 5 months before Badwater
  • Wanted to not only lose weight but see if he could do this race running on high fat
  • This year Badwater, a 135 mile race, started with a 22-24 mile uphill run and Tony used no sugar during climb
  • Fueling on almost no carbs and did far better than he did before and ran the entire race almost entirely on NSNG

Weight loss and NSNG

  • Tony is 5’9” and weighed 209 pounds before NSNG
  • On his own, he lost weight and went down to 180 pounds but then he hit a weight loss plateau
  • His diet at the time was lots of sugar, pizza, pasta and increased his exercise
  • That’s when he found Vinnie…and by February 2014, he went pure NSNG and today he weighs 141 pounds

What NSNG Means To Tony

  • No sugar and no grains
  • He was miserable for the first 2-3 weeks
  • After that he slept better, had no cravings and ran better
  • During a race, he fuels on olives, cheese, Pocket Fuel and salami
  • So fat adapted that during a 5-hour run he only needs water, some olives and some salami

Angriest Trainer 296: Michael O’Neal and Jessica Shaanan in Studio

by Vinnie Tortorich

Michael O’Neal started his podcast, “The Solopreneur Hour, Job Security for the Unemployable” in August 2013.  Join Michael, his girlfriend, Jessica, Vinnie and Anna as they discuss the NSNG Lifestyle, “Calories-In/Calories Out” and why it doesn’t work, women’s body image and a plethora of other controversial issues.

Women and Body Image

  • Women are rarely happy with their bodies and have a distorted body image
  • How do women avoid building big thighs?
  • You can’t “spot lose” weight
  • You can’t make fat go away with exercise, but you can build muscle

Calorie-In/Calorie Out

  • Does not work…it is a myth
  • Very few can keep weight off this way
  • You cannot starve yourself forever…dieting does not work
  • NSNG is a lifestyle, not a diet

Processed Foods Have Changed Our Diets

  • At one time, not long ago, obesity was a rarity
  • Sugar, sweets and dessert were an occasional treat
  • Meat, vegetables, dairy and fruit were the way we ate

So How Do We Lose Weight

  • Jessica gives Vinnie and snapshot of her daily healthy eating (and it’s pretty darn good!)
  • Look at your diet carefully
  • You have to change your eating habits
  • Eliminate sugars and grains
  • And put “life into living”… you can cheat once in a while
