Stopping Food Noise

  • Today’s topic is the conversation around “food noise.” (3:30)
    • The term has gained traction since GLP-1s became more popular.
    • “Counting culture” has also contributed—people seek ways to accommodate unhealthy foods. (5:00)
  • They discuss popular snack foods, cravings, and weight gain.
    • The best thing you can do is not bring those types of food into the house.
    • They share stories about ice cream and eating it on rare occasions. (16:00)
  • If you are going to do “Life Into Living,” save it for something truly good, not some dumb junk food.
    • For example, have a gelato when you are in Italy. (19:00)
  • Important note: If you want to stop food noise, do not eat the food that causes it. (22:00)
    • Processed foods are meant to trigger cravings and addiction.
    • When you switch to a low-carb diet, the food cravings often lessen over time and can even completely go away. (23:00)
    • Going low-carb naturally mimics the effects of GLP-1 without side effects. 
  • Food has become political rather than just food. (31:00)
    • Various diets have also become a type of food noise.
    • People labeling themselves have gained an almost religious fervor.
  • Subsidized crops are used as filler in processed foods; as a result, real, whole foods are more expensive. (35:00)
  • They discuss Instacart and its impact on in-store grocery prices. (37:50)
    • They discuss money, time, resources, and goals to eat healthy, quick meals. (41:00)
    • Start doing things yourself and stop mailing it out to everyone else. (50:00)
  • Vinnie shares a story from mentor Joe Dean about what it means to “take the garbage out.” (51:00)
  • Did you miss it?: The NSNG® VIP group closed, but you can get onto the waitlist for next time by signing up at https://www.nsngvip.com/join.

Dangers of Muscle Loss – Episode 2763

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2763- Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the adverse effects of GLP-1s, the dangers of muscle loss, and whether more fiber is necessary.

Dangers of Muscle Loss

  • Semiglutide update: hate to say “I told ya so…” (4:00)
    • They discuss perpetual motion. (8:00)
    • This relates to GLP-1 in the fact that there is nothing you can do that doesn’t cause a consequence somewhere else. (11:30)
  • Vinnie discusses dealing with his second bout of cancer a couple of years ago.
    • He is determined to be as active and healthy as possible.
    • Eating strict NSNG seems to have helped him fight cancer more than if he had not been eating clean. (12:00)
  • If you lose weight the old-fashioned way through proper eating, about 20-25% of your weight loss will be muscle. (16:00)
    • However, that can be offset with exercise, particularly strength training.
  • With GLP-1, a person will lose at least 40% of their muscle mass. (17:00)
    • This matters because a lack of muscle contributes to all-cause mortality, and you can die sooner.
  • Sarcopenia (natural muscle loss) occurs with age, typically starting around age 35, but it can be significantly slowed with strength training. (18:00)
  • The number one drug Vinnie used to get asked about was statins, but now it’s about GLP-1s. (21:00)
  • If a person is losing a lot of muscle on GLP-1s, you can bet it’s affecting their heart, because the heart is muscle. (25:00)
  • Anna shares some info she’s heard recently regarding Dr. Ben Bikman. (27:30)

Some Thoughts About Fiber

  • There is also debate about fiber. (36:00)
    • They discuss myths about fiber and whether it is as necessary as others have claimed.
  • Anna shares a story that makes her super happy about her cookbooks. (46:00)
  • Vinnie is trying a week off from eating cheese, but he’s wrapping up the week with Anna’s Cheese Bites for the Super Bowl. (48:30)
  • They conclude the episode with a discussion of discontinuing GLP-1s. Talk to your doctor for the proper protocol.
  •  If you decide to continue GLP-1s, please start strength training to offset muscle loss.
