What Happens After

  • Vinnie has failed multiple times, but he fights back and keeps getting up. (4:00)
    • It’s not how many times you fall, but how many times you get up.
    • Vinnie explains how that philosophy extends to health and weight loss. (12:00)
  • You only really fail when you stop getting up. (15:00)
  • It’s not an issue to have some true Life Into Living, but what happens after. You have to get back into NSNG® immediately.
  • NSNG® is less about restriction and more about the fact that it is often easier to avoid certain foods in the first place than to constantly have to “get back on the wagon.” 
  • What you choose to LIL on should absolutely be special. It’s not “let’s grab a whole pizza” frequently. (20:00)
  • Wing Stop appears to have added sugar to French fries! (28:00)
  • Previously mentioned in episode 2707 were the Power Zone (glutes, hamstrings), Posture Zone (back), and Stability Zone (obliques). (30:00)
  • The two remaining Zones are the Mobility Zone (overhead press and face pulls) and the Grip Zone. (42:30)
  • Push-ups are the most overlooked exercise that is beneficial. (45:00)

The Core of the Problem with Andrea Bertaglio – Episode 2357

THE CORE OF THE PROBLEM

  • Vinnie welcomes Andrea Bertaglio, who is the author of “In Defence of Meat“. (2:40)
    • Andrea is an environmental journalist who was investigating the farming industry.
    • His goal is to get the correct information out into the world about meat, nutrition, and the farming industry.
  • Both Vinnie and Andrea’s backgrounds growing up exposed them to farming, so they both have a working knowledge of what farming takes. (7:00)
    • They discuss the frustration of speaking to people with no working knowledge of farming.
    • Others just want to look at data, preach from their offices, get financial backing, and determine public policy.
    • Even knowledgeable people like Frank Mitloehrner are often ignored by certain activist groups.
  • It is important to get away from “confirmation bias” (only looking for information that confirms one’s current beliefs) in all areas. (13:00)
    • Andrea discovered his own biases when he was interviewing farmers about the environment. (15:30)
    • This was the tipping point and he realized he was naive and susceptible to dogma he had been exposed to early in his career.
  • Vinnie and Andrea discuss certain contradictions that often happen with extreme environmentalism and veganism. (23:00)
    • They also give examples of where naïveté actually harms the ecosystem.
    • Conservation groups such as “Duck Unlimited” help keep the environment and ecosystem sound. (33:00)

RED MEAT AND NUTRITION

  • Vinnie and Andrea discuss the problem of vegan parents forcing their developing children onto vegan diets and the horrendous results.
    • Severe nutritional deficiencies to cases of death have happened.
    • It’s an example of when arrogance goes beyond common sense. (41:00)
    • Misinformation is circulating and creating more health issues.
  • They discuss how the core of the problem is that there is a huge disconnect about where food comes from.
    • There needs to be an understanding of farming, the necessary nutrition meat provides, and the sustainability it can provide.
    • Meat is fundamental for healthy development.
