Proper Protein – Episode 1983

Episode 1983 – On this Sunday School episode, the lovely Gina Grad joins Vinnie to talk Vinnie’s book Fitness Confidential, keeping cancer away, proper protein, electrolytes, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

KEEPING CANCER AWAY

Vinnie’s book, Fitness Confidential, documents his journey with cancer.
He started eating low carb to keep the cancer away.
Other cancer survivors have sworn by keto diets to stay in remission and stay healthy.
- Bryan Bishop is one of these folks.

ELECTROLYTES

Electrolytes keep your body in good shape when you’re running or doing other aerobic activity.
It’s like a lubricant to keep your run smooth, in a way.
Andy (Gina’s husband) used a lot of Vinnie’s Ultra Salt when he ran the LA marathon.
- Without training much, he ran it in around 4.5 hours!

PROPER PROTEIN

You need certain amino acids that you get from protein.
Animal protein is by far the best.
You could also try whey protein or egg protein, but it is not the same.
Things like pea protein are not good substitutes.
This is why veganism is so difficult to do healthily long-term.
Vinnie covers some of this in his new documentary.

BEST OF: Setting an Example with Dr. Tro Kalayjian – Episode 1982

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1982 – On this ‘Best Of,’ we feature next week’s 1-on-1 guest, Tro Kalayjian, DO. He joins Vinnie to talk being overweight and losing weight as a medical professional, setting an example for your patients, fasting and exercise, and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SETTING AN EXAMPLE

Tro is a Doctor of Osteopathy.
- He has been on the show before here
  - Hunger and Satiety with Dr. Tro Kalayjian – Episode 997
    - https://vinnietortorich.com/2018/02/hunger-satiety-dr-tro-kalayjian-episode-997/
Tro used to have to tell people to lose weight.
- He, however, was 350 lbs himself at around 5’11”.
  - Now he is around 195 lbs.
He’s also now a runner, and he does some fasting.
- He finished 5th recently in a 5k!
His wife really encouraged him to lose weight via low carb.
- She said that he was going to die and leave her with their kids.
Tro has specialties in obesity, diabetes, nutrition.
He recognizes that the whole food part of Game Changers is real, but the plant based part is messy (at best) science.
He feels that setting an example for his patients is incredibly important.
Tro also strongly believes in fasted exercise, though it is less important than diet itself.

NUTRITION EDUCATION

Tro did med school, 3 years of training for internal medicine.
In the whole of med school, they maybe spent a week on nutrition education while learning other things.
The nutrition consultations that he did give, he’d say “cut sugar and fat, go see a nutritionist,” and that was it.
If a doctor with the best, very extensive, education can’t figure out why HE is fat, that’s a problem.
Most of his people start with a dirty keto approach.
- He doesn’t think this is the best, but if it helps them, then okay!
He’ll teach people how to intermittently fast.

Black Friday and Holiday Foods – Episode 1981

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1981 – On this special Black Friday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk holiday foods, getting back on track, the munchies, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

Pure Vitamin Club
Pure Coffee Club
NSNG^® Foods
Villa Cappelli
- These products make the BEST gifts for the holidays.

BLACK FRIDAY

This is the beginning of every company trying to make it for the year.
Take advantage of sweet deals — or spend time with your family at home and order online.
Serena does the Christmas shopping during this time.
- Vinnie frets and overspends; Serena knows what to do!

HOLIDAY FOODS

We understand many of you will eat something carby or sweet over the holidays.
That’s okay, but get right back on the wagon.
Don’t tell yourself, “well, I’ll just wait until after the Christmas party.”
If you have leftovers, eat them quickly or send your guests home with these foods.
We’re never more brilliant than when we’re justifying bad behavior — so try to be very aware of this over the next month.
- Don’t even allow the single rationalization to take place.
Also, if you feel yourself looking for a little snack, realize your hormones may be messed up or you might have over-imbibed.
- Have something fatty and get back on track.

Hormones and Food – Episode 1980

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1780 – On this Wednesday show, Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk hormones and food, good restaurants, Thanksgiving, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

HORMONES AND FOOD

Hormones control our reaction to eating certain foods.
When we eat carbs, our hormones tell us to eat more.
For those who have problems eating far too much, cutting carbs really can help stop this urge.
Ghrelin keeps you eating when it gets some sugar. Leptin doesn’t work as it should.
When you’re fat adapted and eating healthy meats and the like, you fill up much more quickly!
- You can eat more chips than you can steak.
Hormones make it near-impossible (or at least, unpleasant and unsustainable) to eat less when you’re eating the wrong things.

THANKSGIVING

Vinnie tries to stay close to every other day on this holiday.
If this isn’t for you, that’s okay.
Thanksgiving might be a decent time for some life into living.
But if you do eat something sweet, don’t overstuff yourself and get right back on the wagon with the next meal.
- Eat more of the healthy stuff!
Don’t let this be a kickoff for ‘screw it, Christmas is soon.’
- This doesn’t need to be a 6-week eat-a-thon.

Taking Control of Thanksgiving – Episode 1979

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1979 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk remembering Kevin Biggs, taking control of Thanksgiving, delicious chicken thighs, and more. Marie also makes a guest appearance to discuss the Tortorich family’s recent trip!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

REMEMBERING KEVIN BIGGS

Sadly, Kevin Biggs passed away last week.
He was in Mexico celebrating his 51st birthday.
Vinnie does not know the details.
Kevin was a staple in the NSNG^® Facebook group.
- He had also been on the Saturday show a few times and had done some consults with Vinnie.
He will be very missed.

TAKING CONTROL OF THANKSGIVING

If you want to enjoy a slice of pie or some candied yams, do that.
But just have the slice then get right back to it.
If you want to stay on the straight and narrow, you can still enjoy Thanksgiving!
- Vinnie recommends this for folks who are still morbidly obese or new to NSNG^®.
Anna has TONS of NSNG^® friendly Thanksgiving recipes on her website.
You can still enjoy the cream and butter and the like.
Try to tune out the familial comments — stay true to what you know is good for you and to what you want to eat.
Vinnie and Anna give you permission to take control of your own Thanksgiving!
- It’s nobody else’s business what you put on your plate.

No Quick Fixes – Episode 1978

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1978 – On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk family spats, Hollywood, no quick fixes, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

QUICK FIXES

There is no ‘quick fix’ to diet or weight loss.
Really, it’s slow and steady.
This is a lifestyle change, not a diet and not magic.
The good thing is, it isn’t BS and Vinnie isn’t trying to sell you anything.
