TAILORED ADS

  • People find ads for products they have recently purchased
    • Whether they have texted someone about it or google searched it, these products seem to show up
  • A little creepy, to be honest
  • Magazines are paper forms of google

ZONE DIET

  • This diet is totally outdated
  • Diet is relatively low fat – NOT good for you
    • 40, 30, 30
    • This preaches a decent amount of grains – not good!!!
    • Supposed to be anti-inflammation but will cause inflammation
  • It is better to eat low carb, medium protein, and high fat!

by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 806 – Vinnie helps listener Justin during a phone consultation and explains the importance of getting off the sugar train as well as not blaming himself; it’s not lack of motivation, it’s his hormones working against him!

LISTENER JUSTIN

SUGAR TRAIN

  • Sugar is addictive
  • Taking that first initial plunge is what is hardest!
  • When we eat sugar, our hormones tell us to eat more sugar
  • Don’t blame the person – it isn’t necessarily lack of motivation or effort
    • Addictions are tough to break!
  • Best way to do it is cold turkey
    • Often, withdrawals will occur for a bit
  • Once you overcome these withdrawals, things will get easier
    • You will no longer crave sugar but if you eat it, it will make you feel bad
      • Sugars true effects

 

Healthy Crunchy Snacks – Episode 802

by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 802 – On this episode of vinnie’s sunday school, Vinnie and Anna discuss healthy vs. unhealthy crunchy snacks.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

CRUNCHY SNACKS

  • Parents should not bring cupcakes and sugary treats to sports games
  • Eat some fruit or some nuts at a sports game, it will actually make you feel better!
  • If you want a crunchy snack, try almond flour pita chips
    • They taste JUST like normal pita chips, but are healthier
  • Cheese crisps are also awesome
    • Grate some cheese, put it in the oven or microwave or cast iron skillet so it melts, then let it harden!
      • Any type of cheese
  • Cut an apple into small slices and add some cheddar cheese!
