FACEBOOK CRAZINESS

  • Facebook has been deleting the craziest posts.
  • Any post that includes the word “bacon fat” or “cow” or anything of the kind gets deleted for “bullying” because the algorithm doesn’t recognize context.
  • The mods have received notifications that the group could be deleted if this keeps happening.
    • This puts us between a rock and a hard place.
      • The mods are a lenient admin team so it’s a tough place to be.
  • Essentially, benign posts are being flagged.
  • We’re trying to keep everything good, but fingers crossed the craziness doesn’t get crazier!
    • The censure, whether intentional or not, is very aggravating. 

CHRISTMAS RECIPES

  • Christmas is the one time a year where Vinnie will eat potatoes.
    • There is nothing as delicious as Christmas potatoes.
      • Anna also makes a scalloped potato for Christmas.
        • The whole family enjoys.
        • You could also do this with cauliflower.
  • This Christmas feels a bit disorganized for everyone.
  • Anna’s cookbooks have great NSNG® Christmas/holiday recipes.

FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER

  • Please also share it with family and friends!
  • Pre-order in on iTunes to get it to the top of the charts.
    • We need it to get big for people to see it.

NSNG® IS AFFORDABLE

  • Some people worry that this way of eating is cost-prohibitive
  • This is part of why Vinnie offers all of this info for free – to make sure it isn’t too expensive!
  • Anna’s cookbook is very affordable for this same reason
  • Cauliflower mash (in place of potatoes) is very popular and not cost prohibitive!
    • A cheap substitute
    • She offered parsnip mash as another option
      • Someone angrily tweeted at her that it was very expensive to do this – bankrupting!
        • You don’t NEED to buy the parsnips
        • If it’s too expensive for you, pick something else, like cauliflower or broccoli to mash!
        • This isn’t a way of eating where you HAVE to eat certain things if they’re too expensive
  • It being expensive is an excuse many use!
  • It is true that often the cheapest food are the least nutritious
    • If you eat this way, you will need less food, for one
    • Additionally, you can find discounted veggies and meats at many stores!
  • You will be surprised how much money you spend on junk snacks

PEANUT BUTTER AND QUINOA

  • Fuck Quinoa
  • Peanut butter is not the best butter
    • Cashew and Almond are better
    • Peanut is a little higher in carbs
    • Nut butters are carby, but they’re good in moderation!

DIET SOFT DRINKS

  • Diet soft drinks with chemicals are treated by your body just like sugar
    • Artificial sugar is just as bad as real sugar
  • La Croix is okay
  • What is better is (soda) water with some lemon or lime, or even muddle berries or a splash of grapefruit juice

ANNA’S RECIPES

VINNIE’S FOOD 

  • An avocado with some olive oil
  • Veggie puree soup with chicken stock
  • Good to slow cook your own chicken to get your own broth… yummy!
  • Maybe a little bit of cheese, has a hard boiled egg now and again (on a plane)
    • Plane food generally quite bad

DR. CATE SHANAHAN

  • A real, quality doctor!
  • Here’s her website 
  • Helps those with metabolic syndrome to get their metabolism up and running better

HUNGER CONTROL

  • Cate believes low carb diets are very beneficial
  • Try to avoid empty calories, but don’t worry about calorie counting
  • Avoid rapid carb drop off if you have thyroid problems, etc.
  • Believes in IM fasting in moderation IF AND ONLY IF it works for you
    • It can allow you to miss lunch if you are eating the right stuff, but even for those in ketosis this does not necesarrily work
  • Eat your foods and veggies and proteins and fats in moderation and balance with each other
  • Check all your levels including electrolytes, etc. if you are trying to lose a lot of weight
  • People are hungry all the time because their metabolisms are damaged by bad diets
  • Pituitary inflammation can make you hungry
