Remapping Your Brain

  • Gina remembers “frosting shots” at Sprinkles cupcake shops. (2:30)
    • The huge amounts of frosting and sweetness were an assault on the senses.
  • The gimmicks never end: Gina has seen vending machines for cupcakes. (6:45)
  • Vinnie remembers taking Tallulah to frozen yogurt when she was a kid, but he limited how many toppings. (8:00)
  • They recall when Vinnie was trying junk food on the air. (9:00) 
    • There were two of the items Vinnie tried that stuck in his head about how awful they were.
  • So many people have been brainwashed into thinking junk food is good! (14:55)
  • Remapping your brain is possible! (16:00)
    • When you cleanse your brain and palette, whole foods taste even better!
  • Vinnie has a lot of experience helping people to remove things like soda from their lives. (18:45)
    • It only leads to better health.
    • People make the mistake of telling themselves they can’t give up things like sodas or sweets.
    • Those who were resistant initially can’t believe how much better they feel without it.
  • That’s why it is said so often that sugar is a drug—because it is addicting.
  • The unsexy truth is to eat right, get rid of junky food, and exercise. (25:00)
  • Gina has a new Instagram @myextrafamily and a new website, https://myextraseries.com.

Check out Gina’s book My Extra Mom. She also co-hosts with Bryan Bishop for @LAmag on the Bryan & Gina Show, which you can find on any podcast platform and YouTube.

Goodies for Trick-or-Treaters – Episode 1963

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1963 – On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk trick-or-treaters, Halloween, Vinnie’s neighborhood, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

TRICK-OR-TREATERS

  • Gina wonders what goodies Vinnie gives to trick-or-treaters.
  • Vinnie hasn’t really had the opportunity to give out anything.
  • He’s not sure what he would do.
  • He has heard of some giving out his nut butters.
  • It is also okay for kids to have candy from time to time.
  • This is kid’s Super Bowl.
    • The perfect time for them to put life into living.
  • They’re just kids — and fully depriving them of things like this can create an unhealthy relationship with food.
  • Tallulah had been taught to like healthy foods, so she would barely even eat any of her Halloween candy.
  • This year, Vinnie may give out some high quality chocolate.

FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON iTUNES and AMAZON

  • Please also share it with family and friends!
  • Buy it and watch it now on iTunes to get it to the top of the charts.

Grass-Fed Beef and F***ed-Up Chocolate

by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 630 – Vinnie and Anna talk about grass-fed beef, food in France, f***ed-up chocolate, and NSNG Philly cheesesteaks!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

Pure Vitamin Club
Villa Cappelli
Squatty Potty

GRASS-FED BEEF

  • Is conventional beef better than grass-fed because it is fatter?
    Grass-fed still has plenty of fat as long as you are eating the fatty parts
    Taste & quality is what really matters
    Grass-fed beef isn’t given corn or grains so that is good if you can afford it but if not, no big deal!
    As long as you avoid fast-food meat as much as possible, you’re good
    Vinnie eats a lot of grass-fed but mostly just eats whatever he can
    Prices of grass-fed depends on availability

EUROPEAN EATING

Lots of dairy
Different stores for every type of food
They don’t full their food full of hormones and chemicals

No GMOs
When Anna was in Italy, she did notice the kids were getting a bit chunkier

CHOCOLATE

NSNG PHILLY CHEESESTEAK
