FASTING

  • Sometimes, Anna will do shorter-term fasts.
  • She’ll fast for 24 hours, or something like that.
  • When you break a fast, do it with something high in fat!
    • Anna had chicken thighs and mushrooms.
  • You do NOT need to fast on this way of eating.
    • Vinnie doesn’t think fasting is for everyone.
  • Check out Dr. Jason Fung if you want to learn more about fasting.

STAYING IN ZONE 2

  • Start slow with Zone 2.
  • Eventually, you’ll build up.
  • Vinnie did 17 hours of aerobics over a few days and stayed in Zone 2 the whole time.
  • Zone 2 exercise can be relaxing, and it’s so very good for you.
  • Hiking, walking, running, etc., can be zone 2 exercise.
    • Listen to a podcast while you do it if time moves slowly for you.
    • Vinnie uses this time to catch up on music and podcasts.

Feeling Healthy, Cookbooks, & the Boring Truth- Episode 1881

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1881 – On this Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie to discuss feeling healthy, getting out of work mode, Monty, Amazon and Eat Happy, Too, Pinterest’s crackdown, the boring truth, NSNG® starter tips, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FEELING HEALTHY

  • Since we’ve been stuck indoors, many of us have avoided getting sick.
  • We’ll all hate to remember the feeling of a cold or the flu when it happens.
  • Vinnie tends to get sick for 24 hours or so around Christmastime each year.
  • Also, Vinnie has been feeling good recently.
    • He’s had crippling back and neck pain for some time now.
    • But, for the past few nights, something changed and he is feeling better!
  • You don’t realize the importance of feeling healthy until you feel sick.
  • Sugar in wine makes Vinnie and Anna both feel sick.
  • It can also be important to take time to rest — both with respect to exercise and other work!
  • If you’re working from home, try to separate your work life from your home life if possible.

AMAZON

  • Amazon changes things a bit too often.
  • Weird things happen without sellers’ consent.
  • Anna has had issues selling her cookbooks.
  • Luckily, people come through to support the show and to buy the cookbook elsewhere.

BORING TRUTH

  • The truth can be boring.
  • It doesn’t always sell the best.
  • This is probably why some shadow-banning happens.
  • On Pinterest, the platform is trying to prevent lying, but are preventing some truth in the process.

Sparkling Water, Social Media & More – Episode 1719

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1719 – On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk Amazon’s Eat Happy craziness, organic social media followers, making your own product, sparkling water vs. tonic water, holiday treats, and more. Scott Mulvaney makes a guest appearance!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

AMAZON CRAZINESS

  • Amazon did something crazy.
  • They pulled Anna’s cookbook because it didn’t include “nutritional information.”
    • No duh, it’s a cookbook.
  • Anna isn’t trying to give people a diet plan or the like. They should be able to make and enjoy what they want!
  • She’s working on this. Stay posted please!

EAT HAPPY KITCHEN

  • Anna has a great NSNG approved Marinara out.
    • Grab some before it sells out.
  • Next up, we have taco seasoning and a rib seasoning. More products are coming too.
    • Look for them in the new year.

SPARKLING WATER

  • Flavored sparkling waters like LaCroix are good.
  • Make sure there isn’t any added sugar.
  • Tonic water has sugar in it. AVOID this.
  • Soda water is ok!
    • So is club soda, mineral water.
  • Vinnie highly recommends the SodaStream.
    • Cost Plus and Bed Bath and Beyond sell the canisters.

Social Media Troubles – Episode 1709

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1709 – On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk technical difficulties, Instagram, social media troubles, crazy Amazon, holiday eating, cautious life into living, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SOCIAL MEDIA TROUBLES

  • Anna has been shadow-banned from the site.
  • She thinks she must have inadvertently triggered their algorithm.
  • After checking their terms, she knows she did not
  • This is tough for her because she loves providing people with helpful info on Insta.
    • She’s trying to restore it all!
  • Anna and Vinnie have both had weird experiences with social media.
    • Vinnie’s ORIGINAL Wikipedia page has been deleted.  Their answer as to why it was deleted , was the information could not be verified.
    • Vinnie is, however, on this crazy site called RationalWiki.
      • Check out the ridiculous page here
    • Vinnie wants someone to start a page for him on the ORIGINAL Wiki –– there’s definitely enough about him out there to make a page.
  • Anna also has fairly regular issues with Amazon – this obviously isn’t a social media website, but it’s technology just the same!

HOLIDAY EATING

  • Vinnie and Anna believe it’s not about what you eat
  • However, don’t fall off the wagon.
    • It’s hard to get back on, even on Jan 1, if you fall off completely.
  • Put a little LIL with that pecan pie, but do it with limits.
  • Anna also has various NSNG®-friendly Thanksgiving and Christmas recipes (including dessert) in her cookbooks!
  • Be prepared to feel stiff and achy the day after you put that life into living.

DAN’S STORY

  • Dan and Vinnie met through Don Coddington.
  • Check out Dan’s first appearance on the show, last week, here:
  • Dan is hitting 1000 days today with his rowing journey!
    • So long as doctors don’t tell him no, he will keep rowing every day.
      • When he enters the hospital for most of October, he’ll have his rower with him.

FIGHTING CANCER

  • In 2019, Dan was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma.
    • This is a rare, non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
  • At the start, he decided he wouldn’t do chemo.
    • However, he changed his tune fairly quickly.
  • Once the cancer spread, he started aggressive 5 months of chemo this year.
  • He tried radiation therapy previously.
  • He’s now receiving shots to increase the number of stem cells in his body.
    • Starting Monday, he will have more aggressive treatment.

MARIE’S RECOVERY

  • Vinnie didn’t want his mom to have these surgeries.
  • She didn’t take the normal approach to recovery.
  • Her progress is great!
  • Cutting out crap foods, the inflammation is gone.
  • She has pretty good mobility now, 6 weeks out!

Episode 1664 – On this Monday show, Vinnie and Anna announce that Fat 2 is on the way! They also talk about Vinnie’s former cancer diagnosis, making a difference, failure quotients, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FAT 2 IS ON THE WAY

  • Fat 2 is in post-production!
  • The movie will be out on January 1st.

  • Vinnie couldn’t call out all of the crazies in the first movie, but he doesn’t hold back in this sequel.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

  • When Vinnie was diagnosed with cancer, it made him really take inventory of his life.
  • He dealt with his cancer largely on his own.
  • Now, he really wants to help people.
  • If one person at the end of this looks back and says “wow, Vinnie helped me,” that’s enough.
  • This is why Vinnie gives so much away for free.
    • This podcast is meant to help, for free. Same with Vinnie’s Twitter presence, the free PDF, and more.
