NAVIGATING FAST FOOD ON NSNG®

  • It’s so easy to go to the drive through.
  • There are NSNG-ish things you can get at *some* fast food places.
    • Though lots of carbs and grains are hidden everywhere.
  • However, just try to stay away. It’s a slippery slope.
  • You never feel good after eating fast food.
  • The Flying Dutchman at In-N’-Out is a good option.
    • Just getting patties and cheese is usually okay, though sometimes burger meat has crap in it.
  • Avoid salad dressings other than olive oil.
  • Make sure your coffee from fast food places is black and unsweetened.

CARDIO EQUIPMENT

  • Tiny fly wheel is not great for ellipticals.
    • These machines will get rickety really quickly.
  • Avoid the super light weight machines in general.
  • Make sure the motor is good – that’s what you’re spending the money on.
  • Look for the term “continuous duty.”

This episode kicks off with Anna doing pushups. Vinnie and Anna then bring up a different kind of “baby boom” – overweight babies. That leads to an interview with Lindsay Thompson about gestational diabetes. They talk about how Lindsay manages it through diet and exercise. Simba Ugarte also returns to the show. They talk about the human chain, as seen in the bottom photo. Later, Vinnie goes over how he would operate a reality television show.
