Lightning Round of NSNG 101

  • A little info on Jaspr. (2:30)
  • Get Vinnie’s e-book because it’s a good reminder of getting back on track if you went off the rails during the holidays, or, of course, if you are new to NSNG®. (6:00)
  • What meats can you eat? What are the possibilities? (12:30)
    • It’s not required that you eat grass-fed or organic meats—eat what you can afford.
    • Many times, you can find a local small farmer and buy a portion of beef or pork at a discount.
  • What about processed meats like bacon, salami, and cold cuts? (18:00)
    • How bacon is cured makes a difference. (19:00)
    • Cold cuts can be acceptable on occasion, but they often have additives.
  • Eggs are a fantastic food—completely nutrient-dense! (26:00)
    • Good, real, whole milk cheeses, kefir, and full-fat Greek yogurt are all great choices.
    • Don’t be afraid of real heavy cream. Try to find one without any additives, if possible.
  • Vinnie emphasizes that you can’t eat *anything* with impunity, meaning you can’t go rogue and overeat, even if you’re eating healthy options. (20:00)
  • Moving on to vegetables and fruits. (32:30)
    • Leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables are your best bet. Onions and peppers are great, too.
    • Enjoy savory fruits like avocado, tomatoes, and olives, but they also discuss citrus, berries, and eating fruit in season. (35:00)
  • Nuts: High-fat nuts like pili and macadamia are the best; however, you can enjoy some others, but be careful—it doesn’t take many to overdo them. (46:00)
  • If you are trying to be vegan on NSNG, beans are a better source of nutrients than grains. 
  • If you are a vegetarian, eating eggs, cheese, and nuts is recommended to boost your protein intake.

The Sweet Stuff

  • They chat about “sweet treats.” (53:00)
  • Reducing your intake of sweet treats will change your taste buds for the better.
  • Anna explains the intention behind including sweet treats in her cookbooks. They are meant to be just that—a treat for an occasion!
  • Stay away from “grain-free” chips! They are made from ingredients like cassava and other root flours, which are very high in carbs.

A New Sponsor

  •  Jaspr Air Scrubbers has a discount code, VINNIE, that gets you $400 off for a limited time.
    • Jaspr offers a lifetime warranty.
    • Go to Jaspr.co for more information or to purchase. (1:05:00)

Debunking the Myths of Beef Ag – Episode 2345

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2345 – This Friday’s episode is a special 1 on 2 when Vinnie Tortorich has Natalie Kovarik and Tara Vander Nussen on and they discuss debunking the myths of beef ag (agriculture), the environment, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

 

You can watch this episode on Vinnie’s Fitness Confidential YOUTUBE channel –https://youtu.be/9i4SJfoKklo

DEBUNKING THE MYTHS OF BEEF AG

  • Vinnie welcomes Natalie and Tara whose families both run a cattle ranch and dairy farm, respectively. (3:00)
    • Each explains their experience growing up in the family-owned farming business, as well as their additional education outside of it.
    • Farming is not for wimps; there is continuous hard work involved.
  • Tara explains what is involved in nutrition for dairy cattle, and how well they are tended to—a comfortable cow means more milk. (15:30)
    • Their cows get milked twice a day for 8 minutes each time.
    • Health checks happen on a frequent, regular basis.
  • They explain what certain packaging claims mean, and how some are marketing tactics. (20:00)
  • Natalie explains cattle ranching and the difference between “segmented” (having multiple owners for each phase), versus “vertically integrated” (one owner through all phases). (22:00)
  • There is a massive misunderstanding of cattle’s contribution to any sort of greenhouse gasses and the nonsensical “science” behind it. (28:00)
    • Ruminants are necessary for the environmental fortification of pastures.
    • They discuss the lies various groups put out on social media and how younger generations are specifically targeted. (40:00)
    • People, especially youth, are particularly susceptible because they are on social media all day and get blitzed by loads of misinformation.
  • Vinnie emphasizes that this kind of politicization of things is not new; however, the difficulty is in the amount of screen time everyone puts in now. (47:00)
    • Kids are growing up not experiencing real life, but having it all fed to them through a tiny screen. (51:00)
    • It also adds to the anxiety of people in society and how life is handled (or not handled).
    • Pop culture plays a big role in the “meat is bad” messaging as well.

MORE TRUTHS

  • There are plenty of positive things about cattle & dairy farming as well. (53:30)
    • They provide basic nutrition for billions of people across the world.
    • Ruminants grazing reduces “fuel” for wildfires.
    • Ruminants are way more than just cattle; they are necessary for the environment!
  • Natalie and Tara explain the differences in labeling of organic, grass-fed, and finished, and how each applies to beef and dairy products. (55:50)
    • If you have very specific preferences for what you prefer (such as fed non-GMO grains), they recommend going to a smaller local farmer. 
  • They discuss carbon footprint percentages and how the combination of agriculture and forestry actually reduces percentages. (1:05:00)
    • It’s so important to debunk these myths because they will affect the nutrition of billions of people.
  • They discuss the misconception that things like vegan leathers are better; those products are plastics, which means they are petroleum based. (1:08:00)

Good Beef Sources & More – Episode 1964

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1964 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich play some good ’60s tunes and talk good beef sources, ketone levels, BS diet plans, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

’60S TUNES

  • Vinnie and Anna both really like music from the ’60s.
  • But Vinnie prefers the ’70s.
  • They played a lot of good tunes on this show, like some Buffalo Springfield.
  • If you’re reading these notes on YouTube, check out this show on another platform so you can hear the good tunes.

GOOD BEEF SOURCES

  • As you know, Belcampo is no longer a sponsor.
  • Vinnie always had great service from them — he loved 
  • Hopefully, they come back under a new name.
  • Vinnie suggests you go look in your community and find a farm form which you can buy beef directly.
  • Or, find a freestanding butcher.
  • Some grocery stores even have high quality meat departments.
    • This is probably the most affordable option, unless you go in on half of a cow with someone, or something like that.
    • You don’t need to shop at Whole Foods to find this.
    • Plus, some grocery stores with good beef will have sales — Harris Teeter in VA does this.
  • Grass-fed or regular can both be good.
  • Buy what you can afford! This is most important.
  • You can do this lifestyle affordably.
  • Anna likes Ancestral Meats, Simple Meats, Carpenter Farms.
  • Or, if you have friends who hunt, see if you can get some deer meat.

BS DIET PLANS

  • Don’t buy into diet plans.
  • You don’t need to spend extra money each week to eat.
  • Vinnie could monetize this and turn it into a full-on diet plan, but he would not do that.
  • Eat clean — stick to simple tenets — and your body will begin to heal.

High Quality Magnesium & Fake Cheese BS – Episode 1914

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1914 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk “grass-fed” products, high-quality magnesium, snakes, fake cheese BS, Instagram feeds, recipes, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

HIGH QUALITY MAGNESIUM

  • Pure Vitamin Club’s magnesium is an excellent product.
  • Anna’s doctor loves Vinnie’s products.
  • Magnesium citrate can give people some… quick stomachs.
  • But, our product doesn’t do that.
  • The one product we can never let people run out of is our magnesium because people rely on this.
  • Vinnie takes two each night and one in the morning.

FAKE CHEESE BS

  • This company they discuss uses crazy jargon.
  • They speak about your soul, inspiration, and other craziness.
    • It sounds like they’re trying to get you to join a cult.
  • Just eat REAL CHEESE, or don’t eat cheese at all!
  • There are lots of crazy companies with insane money-making techniques that likely will not work.
    • Keep it simple (and free)!
