DINING OUT ON NSNG®

  • Sushi and other asian foods can be difficult.
  • If you want sushi while eating no sugar, no grains, go for sashimi.
    • Additionally, lots of soy sauce has gluten so watch out.
  • When you dine out, stick with meat and vegetables.
    • Ask for no fries, no pilaf, no rice on the side at all.
      • Don’t tempt yourself!
        • Normally you can get some veg instead.
  • American restaurants are great for burgers, cheese, avocado and bacon.
  • If you get a side salad, get olive oil and no croutons.
  • Treat your servers well!!!! Often, they may not get it or may be trying their best.
  • Steak is always the move.
  • French food is easy.
  • Italian can be tough. Stick to a fish dish with a veg side.
  • If you go out and eat badly, you will likely feel it.
    • If you mess up, just get back on the wagon the next meal.

SUGARS AND CARBS

  • There are a million names for sugar.
  • Monk-fruit, stevia, honey, etc. are all sugars.
  • Smoothies are just straight sugar, even made from home.
    • Once you blend the fruit, you’ll notice how sugary it is.
    • Especially when you get smoothies out, they are filled with crap.
  • Also, try to avoid protein powders and gluconeogenesis.
  • Further, don’t try to do net carbs.
    • This is all fake keto BS.
      • Eat meat, have eggs, etc. Have cheese if you can handle dairy. You don’t need something with 12 ingredients.

Bad Publicists, Alternative Flours, & More – Episode 1394

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1394 – Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk bad publicists, hats and Whole Foods, Eat Happy updates, cooking with alternative flours, and more on this Monday edition of the podcast.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FAT DOC IS OUT

BAD PUBLICISTS

  • Anna and Vinnie have some knowledge of working with publicists
    • Both have looked into it
  • Vinnie considered publicists when publishing his book
    • Eventually, people either didn’t believe in the book or wanted him to give away secrets
  • He recently hired a publicist for the movie
    • She started late, and immediately asked for his clients
  • Anna didn’t use a publicist for the cookbook, she did it herself with your support
  • Vinnie hates the whole gate keeper idea

ALTERNATIVE FLOURS

  • Don’t try to replace everything – better to get rid of some stuff totally
  • When Anna bakes, she largely uses almond and coconut flour
  • These flours still have higher carb contents

Breakfast is an Unimportant Meal – Episode 1209

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1209 – Anna Vocino joins Vinnie this Monday, and the two chat about busy Amazon and Eat Happy, following the SAD, the Fat Doc, the fact that breakfast is an unimportant meal, accidental intermittent fasting, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

EAT HAPPY

  • Unfortunately, this amazing cookbook is currently sold out
  • Anna sends them to Amazon relatively often
    • Sometimes the receiving center is too busy to receive more trucks
  • Back in September, Anna refilled it
  • Anna sent a request asking them to stock more books in preparation for the holidays
    • It was declined
  • She received a PO for 900 books
    • Sent them, then realized it was for the NEW book which is not out yet
  • There are 267 copies of Eat Happy in the warehouse marked incorrectly
  • She keeps calling, trying to get them to restock but they are just too dang busy!
  • Hopefully there will be more books stocked this upcoming Wednesday

BREAKFAST IS AN UNIMPORTANT MEAL

  • That oatmeal is healthy is the biggest lie
  • People say it’s heart healthy
  • It’s not, AND it’s gross unless you add sugar into it
  • The Fat Doc will be discussing how this myth came into being
  • “The most important meal of the day” — Breakfast — this is a lie
    • QUAKER OATMEAL came up with this
  • People throw sugar into yogurt and think it’s healthy
    • You are just eating sugar, sadly
  • When people become fat adapted, they find they don’t need breakfast at all
  • If you are eating breakfast, make it healthy and actually fueling
    • Bacon, eggs, avocado
  • When you have sugary breakfast, you’re hungry two hours later
    • This is not how it should be
  • Also, there is no such thing as breakfast food!
    • If you want to have food at breakfast time, you can eat ANY type of food – leftovers are great
  • Anna doesn’t intermittent fast on purpose – sometimes, just happens
    • She will just have coffee (mostly without cream) and be good to go
  • She will have some eggs if she’s going for a run or to a workout class

ZONE TWO & OTHER TYPES OF TRAINING

  • Great place for athletes and those just trying to get in shape alike
  • Allows you to eat calories healthily and get in shape/train properly
  • Check out Phil Maffetone and his book
  • Take your age from 180 – your age
    • Then if you are fit, add a few and vice versa
  • Zone Two doesn’t initially make you feel like you are doing much, but it is about volume
    • You find you can do much more
  • Build up connective tissue, mitochondria, makes your aerobic center very strong
  • It is crazy to be in Zone Three/Four all the time, just maxes you out and doesn’t BUILD
    • Good sometimes, just not all the time
    • Once you get comfortable in Zone Two, you can introduce some HIIT
    • Get in your red zone one minute a couple times (Interval Training)
      • Serena did 1 mile intervals during her 82 mile race
  • Zone Two also generally does not require extra sugar trickle
  • Body can use fat better and more efficiently
  • If you are starting out, stay in Zone Two for 3-4 months before trying Zones 3 and 4
