Packaged Keto Food Ingredients – Episode 2075

by Vinnie Tortorich

 Episode 2075: On this Wednesday’s show, Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk packaged keto food ingredients, grocery store “real estate,” and more.
 

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

PACKAGED KETO FOOD INGREDIENTS

• The show opens up with Vinnie frustrated by a common theme in recent consults. People have been telling him that they have started buying packaged “keto foods” yet can’t figure out why their success has waned.
• Ingredients like arrowroot and cassava flours, potato and tapioca starches, konjac, and others are not grains but are often used in “keto” processed foods. They are all starches, which behave in your body like sugar. Vinnie says to stay away from them.
• Similar issues are happening with other natural sugars like molasses, agave nectar, honey, and others—the body treats all sugars the same.
• Many of the “keto health foods” at ExpoWest are filled with these types of ingredients and are therefore *not* NSNG®.

GROCERY STORE REAL ESTATE

• Food manufacturers buy up “real estate” in grocery stores for specific placement to encourage more sales. It’s all planned and part of marketing and sales.
• Vinnie and Andy discuss a few previous advertising campaigns about food, and also the strategy of packaging and placement in stores.
• The best way to shop for food at the grocery store is to stay along the outer aisles, as that’s where items like fresh produce and dairy are usually placed.

Calculating Zone 2 Heart Rate & More – Episode 2074

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2074 – On this Monday episode, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk feeling sick, calculating your Zone 2 heart rate, Nautilus machines, Vinnie’s guest appearance on Mike Rowe’s podcast “The Way I Heard It,” and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

ZONE 2 HEART RATE

  • Vinnie recommends Zone 2 exercise.
  • It is best for weight loss, and is also excellent for cardiovascular and general health.
  • How do you figure out what heart rate you should aim for?
  • Take 180 and subtract your age.
    • But, add or subtract depending upon your fitness.
  • If you aren’t fit, subtract five from the number above. If you’re quite fit, add five.
  • That is the heart rate you should stay around to remain in Zone 2.
  • You’ll notice over time that you’re getting more and more fit, and you’ll burn fat and strengthen your heart.
  • It’s okay if you need to start really, reallllyyy slow to stay in Zone 2 when you start out.

NAUTILUS MACHINES

  • The Nautilus concept is as the angle gets smaller, the weight sets in.
  • Vinnie describes very generally how to properly use these machines if you have them.
  • Don Coddington will do one set to failure on all of the machines.
    • Some people believe in going to failure — this idea is in part what gave Nautilus its start.

BEST OF: Plant Bullies With Nina Teicholz – Episode 2072

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2072 – On this Saturday show, we play a best-of featuring Nina Teicholz, who will be on the show again next Friday. On this episode, Nina, author of The Big Fat Surprise, joins Vinnie to discuss the LCHF diet, the food pyramid, and being persecuted by Plant Bullies.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

NINA TEICHOLZ

  • Investigative journalist.
  • Friend of Gary Taubes, as is Vinnie.
  • Believes in a low carb diet!
    • Before going to LCHF, she had bone spurs and sinus infections.
      • She realized this SAD was not the right diet.
  • Incredibly educated, amazing woman.
    •  A number of books and decades of research.
  • Suppression of the science is why the Standard American Diet prevails.
    • Studies that PROVED Low Carb was GOOD were hidden by those in charge.
  • 7 Country study which “proved” low fat is good was a false, BS study.
  • British Medical Journal backs Nina’s findings.
  • Hears of plenty of situations Diabetes Association/Heart Association threaten LCHF Scientists with revocation of licenses if they teach NSNG.
    • “inappropriately reversed diabetes.”
    • She covered and was involved with the trial involving Dr. Noakes.

PLANT BULLIES

  • People on plant based diets also largely misinformed.
    • Additionally, they often defend their way of eating to the death.
  • For example, Nina has a friend who has fatty liver disease.
    • This is because she largely eats plant based smoothies.

KetoCon 2022 & Misinformed Dietitians – Episode 2069

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2069 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk beef, KetoCon 2022, misinformed dietitians, bad fuel, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

KETOCON 2022

  • Vinnie and Anna will be at KetoCon this year.
  • They will also be doing a private Q&A for around 300 people–this is likely to fill up quickly.
    • You should be able to add this on to your ticket.
  • Whoever wears the best costume will win a gift basket from Anna and Vinnie.
  • It takes place July 8 to July 10 in Austin, TX.
  • Get your tickets now! 
  • We’ll talk about this more soon.

MISINFORMED DIETITIANS

  • Anna found an article written by a registered dietitian discussing ‘good carbs for cholesterol.’
  • Yet, at the same time the article seems to acknowledge sugar and grains are not good for us.
    • But it totally ignores the importance of cholesterol for our brain and body health as well as the importance of knowing the breakdown of your cholesterol number.
  • If you need to eat healthy carbs, that should be veggies. Not junk.
  • Many dietitians don’t seem to know a thing about nutrition.

Battling Pre-Diabetes – Episode 2064

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2064 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk with Marie Tortorich, the saint. Anna and Vinnie also talk battling pre-diabetes, keeping cancer away, learning to cook and eat healthily, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BATTLING PRE-DIABETES

  • Anna’s dad recently was diagnosed with pre-diabetes.
  • He’s 81 and doesn’t eat very well.
  • The doctor suggested he cut out sweets and carbs.
  • So, he’s cut down — but not cut out.
    • For example, he’s sharing his fries instead of having his own.
  • This is a good place to start.
  • Anna told him to get his A1C tested again in 6 months and he agreed.
    • If it’s still a problem, she’ll try to suggest he cut out these things completely!

KEEPING CANCER AWAY

  • A person Anna and Vinnie know battled cancer.
  • Now, he’s keeping it away with a low carb diet.
  • He was a guy who could eat anything without gaining weight — but he really wants to make sure he doesn’t feed cancer.
  • Folks who look healthy still can have serious, diet-related health issues.
  • That’s why this is important for everyone, not just those with weight to lose.
