The Easiest Roast Chicken & More – Episode 1884

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1884 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk Stevie Ray Vaughn, Yelp reviews, the easiest roast chicken recipe, ketone levels, sauces, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

YELP REVIEWS

  • Some websites like Yelp seem to take reviews up or down based on who pays.
  • Yelp may be one of the ones who ensures this is not the case.
  • Companies on Google are able to request their reviews be doctored.

EASIEST ROAST CHICKEN

  • Anna talks through an excellent chicken recipe.
  • You can find this recipe 
  • First, she does a dry brine.
  • If you separate part of the chicken, you can put pads of butter in.
    • Check out the video on YouTube!
  • Anna shoves up a few slices of lemon and basil, cilantro, or whatever herbs she has.
  • Add some Villa Cappelli, and she throws it in the oven at 425 F.
  • On the side, Anna is roasting green beans and zucchini.
  • Anna makes some brussels sprouts and pancetta, too.

KETONE LEVELS

  • Don’t compare your ketone levels to others.
  • If you have ketones, that’s good!
  • But, if you’re at .1, then maybe reconsider what you’re eating.
    • Too much fruit?
  • Also, you DO NOT need to be in ketosis to do NSNG®, and generally don’t need it to lose weight.

Building Muscle Without Carbs – Episode 1474

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1474 – Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk cupcakes, building muscle without carbs, the inability to outrun a bad diet, and more on this Monday show.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BUILDING MUSCLE WITHOUT CARBS

  • You do not need carbs to build muscles!
  • If you feel you get more muscular when you’re eating carbs, that’s like marbling.
    • It’s definitely not necessary, and it won’t make you lean and muscley.
  • It takes about 30 days for you to feel good working out on ketones.
    • Give your body time.
    • Plus, it will only get easier and more enjoyable as you go!

CAN’T OUTRUN A BAD DIET

  • Some people don’t get fat.
    • This is a genetic thing.
  • Don’t let them fool you into thinking you can CICO out of a bad diet.
  • You can’t simply exercise away all of the cookies.
    • Not sustainable and not healthy.
  • You can do hours and hours on end of aerobics and still be fat if you’re eating poorly.

FAT DOC IS OUT

VINNIE & ANNA WILL BE AT KETOCON 2020! KETOCON.ORG, GO TO BUY TICKETS, AND ENTER PROMO CODE “Vinnie”!

Fat Adapted Survival & Sexism in Elite Sports – Episode 1279

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1279 – Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk Eat Happy, podcast reviews, sexism in elite sports, fat adapted survival, the pay-to-attend school scandal, and more on this Monday show.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SEXISM IN ELITE SPORTS

  • A woman cyclist caught up with the men and they made her stop during the race
    • In Belgium
    • Only gave them 10 minute head start
  • She wound up finishing 74th because they made her stop when she was leading to give the men more room, and she lost her momentum
  • At the end of the day, while we have made progress, there is still some unfairness in Ultra Sports
  • When women got as good as men at double trap, Olympics was going to cut out the women’s event
    • Olympics committee kept saying no, but had so much pressure that they brought it out
      • However, they brought it down to 160 while men were shooting 200
  • Marathons do this, too
    • Send off elite women x number of minutes before the men
    • If you catch up to the women there’s a money grab

FAT ADAPTED SURVIVAL

Vinnie's Dyer Knife - custom-by Craig Dyer
Vinnie’s Dyer Knife – custom-by Craig Dyer
  • People can benefit from being fat adapted if they then are forced to fast
  • For example, people on Survivor should get fat adapted before going on the show
  • The tiny bit of rice won’t throw you out of ketosis, especially if you parcel it out over the day
  • These people go into ketosis eventually anyway, but better to start in ketosis so you don’t deal with keto flu on the island
  • Electrolytes are a lot harder

Controlling Hormones and Auto-Immune Diseases – Episode 1244

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1244 – Anna joins Vinnie this Monday and the two talk knives, fat bombs, a proper cup of coffee, controlling hormones and auto-immune diseases with NSNG®, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

KNIVES

    • As we all know, Anna is an amazing chef
    • She has one fantastic chef utility knife
    • When her mom passed away, the first thing she wanted from her was her great knives
    • Rather than buying a ton of different knives, just get a chef utility knife
    • A knife sharpener is the move
      • You can get a razor finish on these knives
      • Can get to kitchen grade, or to carving grade
    • Check out the video of them sharpening Anna’s knife

AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASES AND DISORDERS

  • Anna has had hormonal issues, as well as other inflammatory issues, as have so many others
  • Many with hypothyroidism can benefit from NSNG®
  •  Lucy, for example, needed help
  • Didn’t make sense to give her more grains or sugars
  • Cutting down on sugar and grains lowers inflammation, helps get hormones into check
