RUNNING FASTER WITH NSNG®

  • Scott has a very Polish last name!
    • Growing up, people always messed up his last name, and still do.
  • He had run several marathons before NSNG®.
    • He couldn’t break four hours.
  • While getting acquainted with his iPhone and the podcast app, he ran across the Marathon Training Academy podcast.
    • He wanted to break that four hour barrier.
  • Scott heard an episode with Dr. Noakes, and heard how he did it by eating NSNG®.
  • He has lost 40 lbs and broke that four hour mark for his marathon!
    • His dad also passed away from a heart attack, and his mother had diabetes, so this has further encouraged him down this path.
      • He feels he was robbed of some quality time with his parents.
        • His mom, however, did reverse her diabetes in her nursing home by eating how Scott does.
  • Eating more meat and way fewer carbs can really improve athletic performance.
  • Vinnie used to use this sugary running snacks before he ate this way religiously.
    • Now, he doesn’t need them because he’s fat adapted, and he feels much better for it.
  • Not only does it improve performance, it also helps your stomach.
  • Scott also ran fewer miles in his training when he ate this way.
    • He didn’t need to train as hard!
  • The lessening inflammation with this way of eating also improved his performance, he thinks.

by Vinnie Tortorich

LESSENING INFLAMMATION

  • When Vinnie’s mom had her surgery, her knee was incredibly swollen.
  • She thought the inflammation was a result of the broken leg.
  • Vinnie said it should be a little swollen, but not so swollen.
  • When Vinnie arrived, he restocked the fridge with high fat cheese, olives, sausages and pastrami, and more.
  • Once she started eating these foods instead of sugars and grains, the inflammation and swelling went way down.
    • Within 9 days, the cast was falling off.

STAYING ACTIVE

  • Working out is a poor way to lose weight.
  • However, staying active is important.
  • Don’t not make time for exercise.
  • Move from one sport to the next to the next.
  • Letting life get in the way is a good way to find yourself sedentary.
  • Everyone can stay in shape.
  • Walking is great for this!

      • You can actually drink too much water!
  • Noakes had to go through a really difficult trial because he advised a low carb high fat diet to a patient.
  • He was, of course, found innocent of doing anything wrong .

        • Now, his health in general is SO much better
  • Dr. Noakes has done a lot of good research, as well
  • Prosecutors went against the constitution just to get Dr. Noakes to trial.
    • It was such a pointed and nasty prosecution.
      • They just didn’t want any ideas that contradicted with their own financial gain gaining traction just like Noakes’ ideas were .
  • The whole trial seemed like a joke because it was so fabricated and ridiculous.
  • Sugar kills.
    • It frightens Dr. Noakes to see how people are hurting themselves on the inside, even though for about 20% of the population nothing changes on the outside.

STATINS

  • He does not believe in the hype around statins.
  • Cholesterol is not as simple or as bad as the industry tries to make it.
  • Statins really are not beneficial .
  • The side effects truly make it not worth it.
    • These aren’t reported because the industry controls the results.

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1689 – On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk getting back on track, victory laps, safely cycling, the slippery slope of eating sugar, “dirty keto,” food labeling and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

GETTING BACK ON TRACK

  • Sometimes people fall off track.
  • COVID-19 hasn’t helped a lot of people.
  • However, don’t keep making excuses to get back on track.
  • Vinnie can help you if you schedule a phone consult.
  • The Facebook group (which is free) is also a good resource.
  • Start TODAY, not tomorrow, not next week.
    • Saying “I’ll start on Monday” makes it easier to keep pushing that back.
      • You need to break the addiction.

SAFELY CYCLING

  • Vinnie wants to get back into bikes.
  • He doesn’t want to ride on the road anymore – it is simply too dangerous with distracted drivers.
  • He’s going to take up gravel riding!
  • Really kindly, an NSNG®er is giving Vinnie a bike because he is grateful for what Vinnie’s done for him.

DIRTY KETO AND EATING SUGAR

  • You can lie to yourself but you can’t lie to your liver.
  • Dirty keto is not going to convince your body that you’re healthy.
    • Your brain will still make the bad hormones and those cravings won’t go away.
