by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2321 – On this Friday’s show Vinnie Tortorich brings in Anna Vocino to review the basics of NSNG® for newcomers to the show, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

A LITTLE INTRODUCTION

  • This episode is to review the basics of NSNG for the new “Rowebies”. (2:00)
    • That’s the nickname given to people who have discovered NSNG® after listening to Vinnie on the Mike Rowe Podcast.
  • It is not uncommon for people to have consultations with Vinnie to stay on track, even if they’ve been NSNG for a long time.
  • Vinnie describes how he started NSNG. (17:15)
    • Vinnie has been an ultra athlete for years, yet got leukemia.
    • He describes what part of his lifestyle was like as an ultra-athlete.

THE BASICS OF NSNG®

  • They run down the list of what you can and should eat. (28:30)
    • List of Healthy fats, meats, eggs, full-fat dairy, and so much more, and the benefits of each.
  • This list is available in the NSNG e-book, available here.
  • Vinnie shares why you can over-consume the right things when beginning, as you are retraining your hormone responses. (47:00)
  • They explain why CICO (Calorie in, Calorie out) is not effective.
  • You can track macros and/or what you eat if you like, but it is unnecessary!
    • You can be successful without logging everything, so it’s easy.
    • Some people come from a disordered eating or diet mentality, and logging every item can be negative.
  • They chat further about ideal veggies to have. Anna shares ideas. (56:00)
    • However, things like cauliflower crusts should be used with caution.
    • Read the ingredients as they often use a lot of non-friendly fillers like Cassava flour and tapioca starch.
  • Cassava, potatoes, and other tubers are starchy and behave in your system like sugars.
  • They talk about condiments as well. (1:01:00)
    • Anna reminds listeners to read the ingredients list on labels, not the nutritional panel.
      • It’s important to know the actual contents, not just the numbers on the panel.
  • Vinnie and Anna advise newcomers to really give themselves time to acclimate and see results, especially if they have been metabolically broken for a long time. (1:11:00)
  • They also talk about both natural and artificial sweeteners–both are bad!
  • They also review various beverages, and why some are better than others. (1:18:00)

Dealing with Carb Intolerance with Dr. Tim Noakes – Episode 2315

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2315 – On this Friday’s show Vinnie Tortorich and return guest Professor Tim Noakes discuss sports science, dealing with carb intolerance, your brain and “the bonk”, and much more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DEALING WITH CARB INTOLERANCE

  • Vinnie and Prof. Tim Noakes begin with a discussion of Tim’s professional background, especially in the early years of sports science. (2:00)
    • He has been involved with sports science for decades.
    • Sports science studies the whole human biological system, and its entire functioning.
    • They discuss the early days of sports science used in the Olympics and other events like the Tour de France and what things were discovered.
  • Tim has written several books such as Lore of Running (now in its 4th edition) and Real Food on Trial. (11:00)
    • Tim constantly reviews new information and updates his work based on the findings; you have to move with the evidence.
  • Vinnie asks Tim to share what the issue was with Tim’s historical trial and the “tweet heard around the world”. (17:30)
    • The trial was about information and not being able to speak outside the narrative of certain organizations.
    • He gives various details about the trial, too.
  • They turn to the topic of Diabetes. (26:00)
    • Tim shares his history dealing with T2D and what he’s discovered about himself using a low-carb lifestyle.
    • He emphasizes that diabetes is carb intolerance.
    • Vinnie and Tim discuss dealing with carb intolerance and give examples of ideal levels. (33:00)
    • Even 1 gram of higher insulin inhibits the burning of fat.
    • Many people don’t understand that if they have large amounts of visceral fat, they are insulin resistant and at the very least, pre-diabetic.
  • Your liver can produce any glucose your brain needs, except possibly over 4-5 hours of constant exercise; Tim explains. (35:00)
  • The purpose of “carb burning” is not because your body “needs” the carbs; it’s because your body is trying to burn off (or get rid of) the glucose in the blood. (35:20)
    • Keeping your glucose and insulin flat is what keeps you healthy. (37:00)

THE “BONK”

  • They also discuss going through a “bonk”, and how the brain responds to carbs, even sweetness. (37:15)
  • Tim discusses a study where they discovered surprising results about burning carbs vs. burning fat.
    • The people in the study who were pre-diabetic benefitted the most from a high-fat diet. (50:30)
  • This leads to a discussion about questioning long-held theories. (51:00)
    • So they discuss the different Zones in exercise that can be done on a ketogenic diet–it’s higher than previously thought!
  • They chat a bit about the training and success of Kenyan and Ethiopian elite runners. (55:00)
  • Vinnie gets Tim’s take on the use of drugs like Ozempic. (58:00)
    • Changing your behavior is the only real way to be successful with your health.
  • You can donate to the Noakes Foundation or The Nutrition Network; Tim explains the important work that they do.
  • You can find Prof. Noakes on Twitter at @ProfTimNoakes and @LoreofRunning.
