QUESTION FROM SUZANNA HUTCHINSON

You have recipes that sound great, but some call for coconut sugar. I thought on NSNG you couldn’t have any sugar. What’s the deal?
This is a lifestyle, not a diet. It’s not a “never have sugar again” proposition
We put “life into living” and have those treats during celebrations and parties
All sugar will cause a glucose shift so it helps to balance it with fat

ANOTHER QUESTION FROM SUZANNA

She is 71 and eats very little sugars and grain.
Show focuses on younger people. What about older people?
You can still lose weight after 60.
You can work out the same amount as you did when you were younger but it will take you longer to recover
Remember to stretch even for 10 minutes…it will help you stay young

WHAT NOT TO EAT DURING WINTER SEASON

Try to eat foods that are in season. They are healthier and taste better
Today we can get anything year round We lose touch with what’s in season
Vinnie challenges many items on list

QUESTION FROM AARON CAMPBELL

Challenges Vinnie’s description of what a stress fracture is
Aaron contends it is tiny cracks in the bone
Vinnie had said it was where the tendons pull away
However, he agrees with Vinnie that the only thing to do is rest and ice

WHY VINNIE DOESN’T LIKE “THE BIGGEST LOSER”

The show seeks people that are so desperate, they will do anything to lose weight
They are put through brutal workouts and starvation diets
Contestants are screamed at and put in unsafe situations
They call each other “Losers” and are worked out to the point of vomiting or collapsing

THE SHOW IS A FAT-SHAMING DISASTER…AND PEOPLE LOVE IT

7,000,000 people watch each week
200,000 people audition each season
2/3 of this country is overweight or obese; so there’s always interest in losing weight
No one cares that this is not a sustainable lifestyle

WHAT THE CONTESTANTS ARE PUT THROUGH

They are taken to the Gillette Ranch in Calabasas where they are locked in their rooms and their cell phones and computers are taken for 24 hours.
Many contestants believe they were bugged.
Their first workout is 4 hours long and they were subjected to workouts that lasted from 5-8 hours without a break
Calories were restricted to less than 1,000 per day and all food had to be approved by a trainer

VINNIE CHALLENGES JILLIAN MICHAELS

In 2014, Jillian quits the show saying she was deeply concerned about the show’s poor care of the contestants.
Vinnie goes on a rant…”Now she’s concerned? Why wasn’t she concerned 16 seasons ago? No…she had to wait until she became more famous than the show!”
Vinnie challenges her to come on the show…We will keep you posted

Over that time he only gained 3 pounds and lost an inch on his waist
He followed up 3 months later to let his body readjust
Then for 21 days, Sam ate almost 6,000 calories a day of high carb/low fat diet (fake foods, processed foods) Sam gained 16 pounds

HOW DID HE FEEL ON THE HIGH FAT DIET VS THE HIGH CARB DIET

On high fat he felt great, energized and looked forward to exercising
On high carb (fake food) Sam felt sleepy, his exercise program felt laborious, his sleep was negatively affected and he snored
To counteract those side affects, many people turn to sugar and caffeine
It becomes an eternal struggle
