BAD DIET FADS

  • There are lots of diet fads that are just money makers for their proprietors.
  • They don’t work – they’re selling crap.
  • Lots of products are marketed as healthy or ‘keto,’ but they’re filled with crap and sweeteners.
    • This is true of many vitamins and supplement products, too.
      • And those are probably filled with seed oils.
  • Try to avoid anything that seems too good to be true, or is just temporary.
  • There aren’t shortcuts, and real, whole food is always better.
  • You also shouldn’t have to pay extra to adapt to a new lifestyle.

OLD-SCHOOL GYMS

  • Vinnie used to go to some pretty old-school gyms and prefers finding gyms like this if he can.
  • Lots of the guys were body-builder types.
  • They’d try to sell PEDs to one another!
  • Anna sees a super roided-up guy at her gym pretty often.
    • And the other day, we were talking about eating quinoa. Of course!

Food on Planes & COVID-19 – Episode 2018

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2018 – On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk Gina’s COVID-19 battle, food on planes, vacation time, the Scott Thomas sisters, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

GINA’S COVID-19 BATTLE

  • Gina just had COVID.
  • It wasn’t too bad for her!
  • Mostly, she felt a little foggy and had some face pain and loss of smell and taste.
  • She remembers two years ago when COVID first began — car manufacturers switched from making cars to ventilators.
    • Vinnie knew folks who died from it.
  • While hospitals are full right now because cases on the whole have risen dramatically, that the virus appears to be less severe for the vaccinated makes it a very different experience.
  • Hopefully this will turn into something like the annual flu, at worst.

FOOD ON PLANES

  • Air travel has changed dramatically.
  • Back in the day, the food was better quality.
  • There were fewer grains and seed oils and the like.
  • Even in economy, you’d be served a meal with real utensils.
  • Vinnie had eggs.
  • It’s a good idea to bring some NSNG® snacks on the plane with you in case the food options aren’t compliant!
