FLUFF AND CUFF

  • Vinnie met her and her half-sister last year in Ohio.
  • Her sister is the sweet smiley one, and Danielle is the tougher one.
  • “Fluff and Cuff” is Vinnie’s nickname for the two.
  • Her youngest sibling of five was definitely coddled the most!
    • He was also the only boy.
    • Vinnie found the same to be true of his youngest

GALLBLADDERS AND FAT CONSUMPTION

  • At her heaviest, she was nearly 300 lbs.
  • Now, she is down to 190 lbs.
  • At 17, she had surgery for several hernias.
    • Then, she had an appendectomy.
  • Recently, she got her gallbladder out.
    • She feels much better now.
    • The doctors couldn’t give her a reason.
  • Now, she’s eating more fat than she ever did and feels better than ever.
    • Of course, everyone is different and this is not medical advice. Consult your doctor.
  • Her joint pain is the best improvement –– the pain is significantly less eating this way.

KETO “SNAKE OILS”

  • She’s lost even more weight with NSNG® than with a Keto Diet that required her to take various pills n’ potions.
    • These were all BS money wasters.
    • All you need to do is cut out sugars and grains and eat real food. The rest is a lie.
  • The products are expensive and like a pyramid scheme.

Low Carb, Natural Bodybuilding with Robert Sikes – Episode 1246

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1246 – Bodybuilder Robert Sikes joins Vinnie this Friday to discuss competitive natural bodybuilding, eating keto vs. carbing up, gaining muscle sustainably, his Keto Savage brand, his diet and work out routine, and more on this fantastic episode.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

NATURAL BODYBUILDING

  • Robert is a natural bodybuilder
  • Vinnie was on his show, check it out here on his Keto Savage podcast!
  • Most bodybuilders don’t do this
    • Most use steroids and other products
  • This is the healthy way to engage in these competitions
  • It may take longer but it is so much better for you
  • Also sustainable to have these ripped bodies this way
  • Most bodybuilders think they need to carb up TONS then cut for 30 minutes of looking good
    • Robert eats keto all the time, and this is what keeps him looking so amazing and feeling so good
      • He’s been ketogenic for 5 years
  • Robert used to do high protein high carbs, low to moderate fat
    • This is VERY inefficient
    • Messes with your hormones, too
    • The guys who do this look like zombies – takes the life out of them
  • Things that come easy and faster aren’t usually the best things
    • Realizing this removed the temptation from the steroid route for Robert
  • He doesn’t take a lot of supplements
    • Takes Vitamin D and makes sure he gets enough salt, potassium, calcium in his food
  • Everything you put into your body matters
    • Taking a wholesome approach is the way to go
  • He takes his work outs seriously
    • One of the big things is squatting
    • For his chest: starts out with dumb bell flies, then onto cables, then bench press and similar things
    • Doesn’t use more weight than he can handle

Weight loss plateaus, ketosis and carb-phobia

by Vinnie Tortorich

Welcome to Monday’s Angriest Trainer Podcast with Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino.  Join them as they discuss body types, walking around naked, women and carbs and staying in ketosis.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BUTT AND BOOB IMPLANTS

  • Vinnie is not a fan of fake boobs
  • Anna went to a Korean spa here in LA where you walk around naked
  • Feels funny at first and try not to stare at people
  • They talk about body types and what men like

WOMEN AND CARBS

  • NSNG does not mean no carbs
  • Living NSNG you can come to a weight plateau
  • It seems that living in ketosis might not be great for women and their hormones
  • Even people eating a ketogenic diet for illness should not stay in ketosis more than 2 years

IMPORTANT TO EASE INTO NEW EATING LIFESTYLES

  • It takes time for the body to fat adapt
  • If you do plateau, it doesn’t mean you need to jump into something entirely new
  • Need to do research and be patient

KETOSIS AND ILLNESS

  • This is not a one-size fits all proposition
  • And it is not for everyone
  • It is important to occasionally put life into living
  • Have a treat, enjoy yourself

  • They had no inflammation at all

WHY SUGARY SPORTS DRINKS STILL PROMOTED AS FUEL

  • However, the information of low carb/high fat fuel is getting out there
  • Already is being seen in the ultra-running community
