by Vinnie Tortorich

  • Vinnie describes how he started NSNG. (17:15)

    • List of Healthy fats, meats, eggs, full-fat dairy, and so much more, and the benefits of each.
  • This list is available in the NSNG e-book, available here.

  • They explain why CICO (Calorie in, Calorie out) is not effective.
  • You can track macros and/or what you eat if you like, but it is unnecessary!

    • However, things like cauliflower crusts should be used with caution.

  • They talk about condiments as well. (1:01:00)
    • Anna reminds listeners to read the ingredients list on labels, not the nutritional panel.
      • It’s important to know the actual contents, not just the numbers on the panel.
