PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION PROGRESS

  • Anna and Vinnie like to check in for the first couple months of each year to talk continued New Years resolutions work.
  • If you’ve fallen off, get right back on!
  • You don’t need to do everything at once…things take time to change.
    • If you aren’t losing weight yet, stick with it for 30-60 days, and then try to figure out what could be causing stalling.
  • If you don’t exercise yet, that’s okay, ease into it.
    • Go slow, and then go a bit slower.
    • However you need to exercise is great.
  • Keep cooking your own food — stick to the stovetop recipes.
    • Anna has tons of super easy and quick recipes in her cookbooks, Eat Happy and Eat Happy Too.
  • Don’t let yourself off the hook now.
  • Put some fat with your veggies, they will taste better!

COVID-19 COMORBIDITIES

  • Many comorbidities around bad eating exist.
    • Type 2 Diabetes and morbid obesity are big comorbidities.
  • Lowering inflammation is, at the least, a good thing.
  • Make sure you communicate with your family or spouse or friends about medical directives.
  • You may need someone advocating for you in the hospital.
  • They can advocate for you to have fewer carbs and staying in keto.
    • This *could* help fight the virus…

THE CARNIVORE UPDATE

  • Anna was, as of this recording, 14 days into her carnivore diet.
  • So far, it’s going well.
  • Anna is feeling good and enjoying it.
  • She’s in ketosis!
  • Recently, she added a bit of non-dairy into her coffee.
    • Otherwise, all she eats is meat and coffee.

Healing Your Gut and Sticking to NSNG® – Episode 1754

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1754 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie to talk school-age bullies and friendship, John Dunn’s progress coming off of meds, sticking to NSNG®, healing your gut, Anna’s switch to carnivorism, Vinnie’s addiction to sugar, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SCHOOL-AGE BULLIES AND FRIENDSHIPS

  • Both Vinnie and Anna faced bullies.
  • Vinnie was deaf which caused bullying.
  • Anna dealt with some mean girls.
  • In high school, though, they both gained good friends.
  • Vinnie had his friends but all of a sudden the jocks wanted to hang. He didn’t ditch his old friends.
  • Anna switched schools and had a fresh start!

STICKING TO NSNG®

  • If you’ve just started, stick with it!
  • Check out the Facebook page where a lot of people share their progress.
  • Even if the scale isn’t moving, keep going.
    • Make sure no sneaky sugars or sweeteners are sneaking in.
  • Do it for a full 31 days before you step on a scale, if possible.
  • Also, pay attention to non-scale victories, like increased energy, lost inches, and more!
  • If it isn’t working, schedule a consult with Vinnie, and maybe you can figure out if there’s something amiss.
  • You don’t need to get fancy or do all carnivore (but you can), just eat no sugars (or sweeteners) and no grains.

HEALING YOUR GUT

  • If you have a lot of gut inflammation, there are several ways to try to fix this.
    • You can try normal NSNG®, you will likely see improvements.
  • Of course, consult with a doctor.
  • You can fast (Anna doesn’t like to).
  • You can really cut out ALL carbs (by doing something like going carnivore).
  • There may be other methods, too.
    • There are tests that may reveal what foods you are more sensitive to — again, consult with your doctor.

Dairy Sensitivity & Cultivating Your Health – Episode 1752

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1752 – On this Saturday show, Leona Jaeger joins Vinnie to talk her own health journey following the death of her father, the Facebook group, dairy sensitivity, Spartan Races and zone 2 training, fixing hearing loss, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

LEONA’S HEALTH JOURNEY

  • Leona transitioned into NSNG® slowly. 
    • When her father died, he had many health issues.
      • She wondered how many were genetic.
  • Initially, she had cut out processed food.
  • Then, she found Vinnie on the Carolla Show.
  • When she finally cut out most carbs, she found out not only did she lose some weight, but she felt way healthier too.
    • She had more energy, and didn’t feel as old as her similarly-aged peers.
    • One of the issues she worried about that her father also had was her loss of hearing.
      • However, 3-4 months in, she noticed she didn’t need it.
        • Maybe it was because of this way of eating, maybe it wasn’t, but it’s surely a good thing!
  • Leona consulted with Vinnie because she finally felt well enough to train for a Spartan Race.
    • For a long time, the weight on her ankle prevented her from doing this.
    • However, with this healthy lifestyle and zone 2 training, she got it done!
  • You have to want this for yourself for it to work.
    • But, once you want it badly enough, it will get easy and quickly.

DAIRY SENSITIVITY

  • Some people are more sensitive to dairy.
  • Leona dropped about 35 lbs before dropping dairy.
  • Then, she dropped the small amount of dairy she did eat a week.
    • She figured she’d lose a few pounds.
      • However, Leona ended up losing another 15 lbs for a total of 50 lbs!!!
  • Vinnie suggests for many people who plateau but are otherwise doing things right to limit or eliminate dairy.
    • Some people have dairy sensitivity, others don’t. Figure out what works for you!

The Case for Keto with Gary Taubes – Episode 1751

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1751 – On this Friday show, the great Gary Taubes joins Vinnie to talk the absurdity in nutrition “research,” his new book The Case for Keto: Rethinking Weight Control and the Science and Practice of Low-Carb/High-Fat Eating, the history of the SAD diet, the role of leptin, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

GARY TAUBES & HIS MUST-READS

  • And his new book, The Case for Keto: Rethinking Weight Control and the Science and Practice of Low-Carb/High-Fat Eating
  • Gary is a reporter/journalist (NY Times) and a controversial guy, has done one of the best interviews in this podcast’s history.
    • He has an Ivy League education –– but he’s comfortable attacking Harvard when they’re wrong. 

NUTRITION RESEARCH

  • The way nutrition research works does not require the testing of hypotheses.
  • At Harvard, they do observational studies and then hypothesize why the results are the way they are.
  • Yes, people who eat plants are healthier; but it’s not because they’re not eating meat, it’s because they eat better food and are more health-conscious.

THE CASE FOR KETO

  • Gary’s new book focuses on the benefits of a low carb diet.
  • This is how you can get your blood sugar under control.
  • The book is based on decades of investigation and over 100 interviews with pro-keto physicians.
  • The book tackles why we think the way we do about diet and why we are so misguided –– keto and allowing your body to burn fat for fuel is the right thing to do.
  • Some people won’t get fat with carbs –– that doesn’t mean they’re not bad for you.
    • Most of us feel so much healthier this way.

Properly Using Fat & Seasoning in Cooking – Episode 1749

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1749 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie Tortorich to talk Gilligan’s Island, pre-workout breakfasts, home renovation, weganism, Anna’s 31 day meal plan, properly using fat and seasoning, and more, and Marie makes an appearance!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

PRE-WORKOUT BREAKFASTS

  • Vinnie doesn’t always eat breakfast before a workout.
  • Often, though, he does.
  • When he does, it’s usually centered around eggs or bacon, or cottage cheese!
  • Eat if you’re hungry––if you’re not hungry, you don’t need to eat.
  • If your workout is particularly hard, then maybe eating a little something makes sense.
    • You *don’t* need carbs before your workout.

PROPERLY USING FAT

  • Don’t be afraid of fat on NSNG®.
  • If you don’t like certain foods, make sure you’re getting enough fat in your foods.
    • Spices and herbs certainly help, too.
      • Cook your mushrooms with some fatty food, cook your brussel sprouts in some duck fat.

Fitness Resolutions – Episode 1748

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1748 – On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk important resting, being kind to each other, fitness resolutions, important home-gym equipment, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

IMPORTANT RESTING

  • Gina has been off from the Carolla Show for a few days.
  • She took the past four days or so to truly rest.
  • She slept well, she went for walks, she didn’t look at the news.
    • Make sure you take care of yourself during this difficult time!

BEING KIND TO EACH OTHER

  • In the New Year, focus on being kind.
  • 2020 was a terrible year.
    • Let’s put it behind us.
  • Treating each other with respect and kindness if the best way to do this.

FITNESS RESOLUTIONS

  • Andy, Gina’s fiancé, has made a New Years fitness resolution!
    • Andy is very fit and has been very committed to NSNG®.
      • He’s about a year in and has great willpower, despite previously having a terrible diet.
  • Many of us have.
  • Vinnie says start slow and then slow down a bit to reach your goals.
    • If you start off too much too fast, you’re more likely to not keep it up.
  • Andy wants to add ~20 lbs of muscle in one year.
    • Putting on 15-20 for him is doable! 25 is a bit much.
      • Everybody is different. 
  • Get cheap equipment you need on Facebook Marketplace or something similar.
  • Schedule a consult with Vinnie to talk over your particular fitness goals.
