YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE – @FitnessConfidential Podcast 

Gaming the System

  • The first caller is Lee. (6:00)
    • Lee has been off and on NSNG for several years and has been listening to the podcast since early on.
    • He gives his backstory about NSNG®. (15:00)
  • He uses several protocols in addition to NSNG®; however, Vinnie has some questions and suggestions for Lee. (21:00)
    • He has lost and gained significant weight several times, and it’s affecting his health.
    • Vinnie is trying to get Lee to stumble less. Lee needs to stop trying to game the system.
    • Lee also started lifting to strengthen his knees. He realized his sore knees were probably less about arthritis and more about lack of strength.
  • Shelly joins the call. (46:00)
    • She gives Vinnie an update on her health metrics.
    • A DEXA scan is the best way to detect body composition (bone density, muscle growth, and body fat percentage). (50:00)
      • A scale doesn’t give you all that information.

    • Initially went rice, veggies, and meat and felt much better
      • Eventually got rid of rice and lots of veggies because they weren’t making her feel THAT much better
    • Had to leave University because she ate crap and felt awful which partly drove her to change her diet
    • Her diet change helped her medical conditions, including skin rash, depression, arthritis, fatigue, etc.

  • Kept cutting foods out that she reacted to
  • Got off anti-depressants and other

NSNG® is More Than Weight Loss – Episode 1147

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1147 – Listeners Joey and Marty  join Vinnie, and the three discuss Joey and Marty’s stories, the benefits they’ve reaped from NSNG®, the fact that NSNG® is more than weight loss, coffee, and more on this Saturday show!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

JOEY AND MARTY

  • Marty isn’t a fan of camping
    • She may be a mountain woman but is not rough and tumble
  • She’d rather be somewhere where she can blow dry her hair and make coffee easily and not get cold
  • Joey, though, likes stuff like that!
  • Vinnie spoke to these two driving up to San Diego
  • Joey was 230+lbs as a teenager and again years ago

NSNG® IS MORE THAN WEIGHT LOSS

  • He got back down to about 160
    • He’s 5’11”
  • Marty was pre-menopausal so she had started to gain a few lbs
    • She lost around 10 lbs
    • The weight loss is the least important benefit
      • She doesn’t have arthritis in her wrist
      • Her pre-menopause symptoms have lessened a LOT
      • She no longer has digestive issues, too!
  • If you don’t have weight to lose, this lifestyle is STILL so beneficial
  • It can help you feel better overall
  • For some people, their libido comes back, too
  • Others have incredible skin changes (Marty had some of this)

THE ANGRIEST TRAINER 333: JOHN C. HARRIS

by Vinnie Tortorich

John C. Harris is one of our earliest listeners! He now has the  website Back of Pack and is co-host of the Back of the Pack Endurance Podcast with Andrew Weaver. Vinnie, John and Anna discuss his weight loss and health journey with NSNG. They also talk about training for marathons.

HEALTH PROBLEMS

  • Had thyroid cancer and started gaining weight
  • Has hormonal imbalances
  • Was recently diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis
  • Eating NSNG, but stuck

DIET

  • Eating mostly NSNG
  • Very frustrating…not losing Has to be really strict…no “putting life into living” yet
  • Has to get hormonal issues handled

MARATHON TRAINING

  • Sometimes better to cut back
  • Anaerobic is important too: squats, lunges, leg press, dead lifts
  • Don’t need to do everything every workout
  • And not necessary to run everyday. Not good for everyone

Angriest Trainer 108: The Minnie Driver & Andrea Anders Interview

by Vinnie Tortorich

Minnie Driver

Minnie Driver

Vinnie and Anna welcome Minnie Driver and Andrea Anders in the studio. Special guest appearances from Loren Tarquinio and Izzy the Italian Greyhound.

Michael Tortorich sums up the podcast in the My Uncle Vinnie Blog Wrap Up:

British actress and singer-songwriter Minnie Driver is in the studio for the first time, along with returning guest Andrea Anders. Minnie is probably best-known for her role in Good Will Hunting, a film she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She also won an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe for her part in the television series The Riches. The conversation flows to Minnie’s dating history, three balls, and Southern Comfort. Later in the podcast, they talk about Dr. Oz’s diet tips. Stick around until the end because Minnie plays out the show on guitar with a nice serenade.
