SAD, MAPS, AND MORE

  • Vinnie and Kurt begin the show by talking about how the NSNG® community feels like family. (2:30)
  • Kurt shares his history with finding Vinnie through Adam Carolla 7 years ago.

    • As Vinnie points out, since it was found on the internet it “must be real.”
  • The show wraps up with a reminder to join Anna’s Eat Happy Kitchen room on the Clubhouse app where there are NSNG® check-ins, Lunch & Learns, and more.

Following the Money – Episode 2274

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2274 – On this Sunday’s show, Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad chat about a variety of things, including diet guidelines and following the money, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FOLLOWING THE MONEY

  • Vinnie and Gina chat for a bit about a few shows, movies, Dean Martin, Frank Stallone, and holiday traditions. (1:30)
  • They also talk about why the original “Rocky” movie had such an impact when it was released.
  • They switch to nutrition when Gina asks Vinnie about a report she heard regarding the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics. (20:15)
    • The chat about how junk food companies are linked to the Academy by money, and that money determines the diet guidelines we are given.
    • You can follow the agenda by following the money.
    • Vinnie has been discussing this link for years and that is why certain recommendations are not to be believed.
    • This is a similar reason of why he will not sell the right to his movies to services like Netflix; he would lose control of the message he is trying to get out to people. (28:15)
    • Gina agrees it’s maddening!

Reading the Signs – Episode 2273

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2273 – On this Saturday’s show, Vinnie Tortorich welcomes listener Frank who shares his harrowing story of health, reading the signs, how low carb has saved him, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

READING THE SIGNS

  • Vinnie and Frank talk about Frank’s history of health and of finding Vinnie and other low-carb advocates through listening to low-carb podcasts. (5:00)
    • Frank was gaining weight, and his doctor was concerned over his rising A1C and other blood markers.
    • One of the significant changes in his body was a large, rapid increase in skin tags; Frank knew that was reading the signs of insulin resistance.
    • When Frank went low-carb, many of his health markers improved, including reducing the number of skin tags and losing 40 lbs.
  • Franks’s lifestyle changed again due to his work life, and he gained some weight back; as a result, he tells a harrowing tale of an extended hospital stay. (13:00)
  • Frank has been back to NSNG® and has dropped his weight and his blood sugar; he still has a way to go, but he’s improving and recovering from his pancreatitis. (22:30)

Best of: During the Holidays – Episode 2261

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2261 – BEST OF: On this show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk Vinnie’s mom, “life into living” during the holidays, day drinking (or not), marketing sugar, affordable NSNG®, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

  •  

DURING THE HOLIDAYS

  • Vinnie’s mom, Marie, had surgery several months ago,
  • He went home to take care of her.
    • At the time, she weighed close to 200 lbs.
  • Vinnie had his parents eat NSNG® while he was there, and they enjoyed it more than they thought.
  • Since then, they have largely kept up eating healthily — especially his mom.
    • Vinnie’s mom is now down to 135 lbs!
  • This weight loss allowed her to do the whole Natchez Trace Parkway drive.
  • For the Christmas show, you might have heard Marie talk about lots of non-NSNG® foods.
    • Vinnie gets it!
    • If he were there, he’d probably have eaten some of the unhealthy foods to a degree. 
      • But the next meal, he’d be back to strict NSNG®.
  • Anna also puts some holiday LIL.
    • Her family has a tradition of tamales on Christmas Eve.
  • It’s good to avoid talking about diet mentality for one meal.
    • Simply put, it’s easier to just eat and enjoy for one meal.
      • However, if you feel you can’t do LIL without spinning out of control, stick to your guns.

MARKETING SUGAR

  • Part of why people get so out of control over the holidays is the marketing.
  • We’ve turned something that should be about two days of really indulging (Thanksgiving and Christmas), and made it over a month.
  • The “pumpkin spice” movement and the like have made this so much worse.
