  • There are plenty of yummy snacks you can still make for the Super Bowl.
    • If you’re eating dairy, have some cheese.
    • If you’re eating meat, throw some meat on the grill.
  • Anna has lots of recipes on her website for this day.
  • If you’re drinking, stick to liquor and La Croix.
  • If you do eat crap, prepare to feel like crap!

SUPER BOWL

The Dangers of Wine – Episode 1769

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1769 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich invite on special guest Marie T. and she provides a health update. The two also talk Fat 2, Vinnie’s neck, the dangers of wine, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

MARIE’S HEALTH UPDATE

  • Vinnie’s mom, Marie, is an excellent cook.
  • Vinnie went to rehab her after her surgery, and had her eating pretty NSNG®.
  • Since Vinnie left, she has lost around 60 lbs by cooking and eating well.
    • She’s been following the PDF.
  • They eat a lot of meat, but they are also eating tons more seafood.
    • It’s delicious and affordable in Louisiana.

DANGERS OF WINE

  • Wine is not regulated like the food industry is.
  • Notice how you never find a nutritional label on wine.
  • They can basically say whatever they want.
  • When it comes down to it, wine is just sugar.
  • If you’re going to drink alcohol, have unflavored spirits with some carbonated water, or something like that.
    • Avoid wine.
      • It can totally screw up the other progress you make, even if it’s only once a week or the like.
  • Put a glucose monitor on and have some beer or wine –– you’ll see it shoot up.
  • Don’t fall for the crazy ‘low carb’ marketing on wine.
    • It is not NSNG®.
  • Are there worse drinks than wine? Yes, but wine still has residual sugar.

Committing to Low-Carb- Episode 1767

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1767 – On this Saturday show, Brian Wiley joins Vinnie to talk dealing with childhood obesity, committing to low-carb, losing weight and feeling so much better, his work with Dr. Tro, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

COMMITTING TO LOW-CARB

  • Brian and Vinnie met at a marathon in Ohio.
    • Vinnie and Andy were sponsoring the race with their products.
  • Brian puts on weight really easily, so he needs to actively watch what he eats.
  • He is 47 and started eating low carb when he was 35.
    • Right before this, he was probably in lower 260s.
      • He and his wife had tried Weight Watchers but that was unsuccessful.
  • Before he started low-carb, his energy was down, his glucose was way up, and his doctor started talking about BP medicine and statins.
    • He realized something needed to change, especially for his kids.
  • Brian is living proof you can’t outrun a bad diet.
  • When he started low-carb, the weight loss was secondary.
    • Yes, he lost weight, but he also just FELT so much better and his numbers across the board improved.

CHILDHOOD OBESITY

  • As a kid, Brian had a weight problem.
      • At 9 years old, he went from normal sized to really overweight in one summer.
        • The microwave largely contributed to that.
          • Brian was eating absolute junk because that’s what he was fed.
      • He heard his dad talk about how fat he was, and from second grade on, the bullying started.
        • He didn’t know how to fix the problem as a kid!
  • When he hit puberty, his confidence was so shot that he didn’t really try with girls.
    • He lost a lot of the weight in high school.
    • (That being said, he met his wife in high school and they are still together!)
      • When they had their first kid, the weight kind of came back without him noticing.

BRIAN AND DR. TRO

  • Brian and Dr. Tro Kalayjian are friends.
  • Brian offered to help him if he ever needed it.
    • He got certified as a personal trainer and got the other relevant certifications.
  • Now, the two have been working together on ‘spreading the good word’ since February.

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1762 – On this Saturday show, David Robinson joins Vinnie to talk his low-carb health success, controlling epilepsy with a keto diet, his new book My Unremarkable Brain, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

ROWING FOR EXERCISE

  • In his youth, David did row.

LOW-CARB HEALTH

  • David didn’t have a lot of weight to lose.
  • However, he did have some issues that a keto diet fixed.
  • Check out his book documenting this
    • My Unremarkable Brain
    • The book features interviews from several luminaries (and Vinnie, too!).
    • David has always been a writer.
  • The luminary shows on this podcast were really what got David on board.
  • NSNG® is simple, and he liked that he didn’t have to track and there weren’t a lot of rules.
  • He has lost 20-30 lbs between his eating and his rowing.

CONTROLLING EPILEPSY WITH A KETO DIET

  • David suffers from epilepsy.
    • He had been on medication and seizure free for 10 years.
    • In 2017, his seizures came back while he was driving.
      • It started with audio auras.
  • After this, David looked more into keto.
  • He is still on medication as well.
  • Hearing about the Charlie Foundation and Jim Abrams made a difference for him.
  • He reached out to the adult diet epilepsy center at Johns Hopkins.
    • She prescribed a very low carb, NSNG® diet.
  • This ketogenic diet has helped him greatly.
    • He has been seizure free for the past 3 years!
  • Diet should be an adjunct therapy, not a last resort.

Flavor Complexity in Our Coffee – Episode 1760

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1760 – On this Wednesday show, Andy Schreiber joins Vinnie Tortorich and the two discuss being just a tiny bit famous, land oil leases, flavor complexity in our coffee, our sales conversion rate (which is 50%+!), Amazon and our nut butters, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FLAVOR COMPLEXITY

  • Coffee has gotten much better over the years.
  • It used to be pretty bad!
  • Diners would use a cheaper bean with high caffeine and not much flavor.
  • Folgers is fine for many.
  • However, if you want robust flavor complexity, try our coffee.
    • We have several different roasts and blends, and our Explorer Series changes every month or two for fun, different flavors.
  • Our beans are the highest quality.
