GETTING HEALTHY AND STAYING IN SHAPE

  • Carlos began this way of eating a little over 5 years ago.
  • He is 55 now, and very muscular.
    • He’s been lifting weights since he was 15 years old, and hasn’t quit.
  • Around 40 years old, he gained about five pounds every years, and got up to 265 at 6’5″.
  • At the time, he thought he was eating right, but eventually realized he was just lied to.
    • He wasn’t trying to lose weight, and figured he was healthy.
  • By accident, Carlos found Vinnie’s podcast.
  • In just over a week, he lost 10 lbs.
  • After around 3 or 4 months, he got to 225 or 230.
    • When he started losing this weight, he also cut down on the exercise a bit, and is still in better shape and health.

Carlos Duran

BEATING DAILY PAIN

  • He ended up starting this way of eating to fight the cramping he felt when he played beach volleyball.
    • Nothing worked for him.
  • But, when he started NSNG®, the cramping largely stopped.
  • And then, he figured out how insulin worked at the like.
  • In a tournament, he used to drink 15 bottles of Gatorade and would still cramp.
    • In two days, when he cut out sugar, he got out of bed, and wasn’t in pain.
  • For Carlos (and everyone else!), the sugar caused inflammation, and when he stopped eating it, he felt like a new person.

Going Down The Road Less Traveled – Episode 1801

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1801 – On this Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie Tortorich to talk Vinnie’s road trip, food addiction, going down the road less traveled, tofu, the COVID-19 vaccine, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED

  • Going down the road less traveled happens often in life.
  • For Vinnie, it started with going to college, leaving the bayou, meeting new people, not getting instant gratification but learning a lot from his new environment.
  • Weight loss may be the same for a lot of people.
  • Lots of people who start NSNG have tried every other diet/fad/lifestyle, and it hasn’t stuck.
  • Try to take this road less traveled and dive into this lifestyle.
    • It may not be mainstream (yet), but it is the road you will stick with.
  • When the road gets tough, get out your machete and start hacking.
  • Also, it’s normal to lose weight slowly.
    • If you lose too fast, that can be tough on your body!
    • You might lose a lot to start and then it might slow down, or vice versa.

COVID-19 VACCINE

  • Vinnie just got the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
  • One thing western medicine does well is diagnostics and vaccines.

How to Eat for the Holidays – Episode 1711

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1711 – On this Friday show, the wonderful Anna Vocino joins Vinnie to talk how to eat for the holidays, starting this podcast, eating disorders, Vinnie’s workouts, the importance of sleep, sticking to a routine, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

HOW TO EAT FOR THE HOLIDAYS

  • People who used to be addicted to sugars and grains may find the holidays a stressful time. 
  • Vinnie does truly believe it isn’t what you eat between Hanukkah/Christmas and the New Year, it’s what you eat between the New Year and the holidays that matters.
    • It IS okay to put a bit of LIL over the holidays.
      • However, don’t let yourself fall off completely.
  • Anna’s cookbooks (the Eat Happy series) include some NSNG®-friendly holiday recipes!
    • There are also pretty friendly pies and the like – they do have some sugar in them.
  • We just want you to feel good, so we’re here to tell you about NSNG® comfort foods.
  • For Thanksgiving, she has wild mushroom grain-free casserole, stuffin’ muffins, mashed cauliflower with NSNG® gravy, creamed spinach and more.
    • She has a paleo pumpkin pie, apple pie, cheesecake, and more.
  • You probably want to avoid mulled cider or wine, eggnog, and the like.
    • You CAN make an NSNG® eggnog.
    • Andy has been posting some Tuesday Tips cocktails.

VINNIE’S WORKOUTS

  • Vinnie is moving in a week.
  • He’s already planning his little gym.
  • For about two weeks, while he moves, workouts are going to be tough to fit in.
  • His moving will be some of his workout.
  • However, he needs to commit himself to waking up at 5:30 to workout, to row or bike.
    • This means going to bed early.
      • Proper sleep is incredibly important.
      • He didn’t wait until he started to move to start this routine –– he’s already begun to get in the zone before things get stressful.

Cutting Through Health BS with Tim Rees – Episode 1626

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1626 – On this Friday show, Tim Rees joins Vinnie for another appearance on the podcast, and the two talk cutting through health BS, meat-eating myths, big egos, conflicts of interest, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

TIM REES

  • Check out his previous appearance on the show here.
  • He previously joined Vinnie to talk about the lies laid out in Game Changers.
  • Tim is all about trying to stop ideology from creeping into health and fitness.
    • This is what leads to horrible health issues like we’re facing with prevalent morbid obesity and more.
  • Here are some of his writings:
  • Tim’s an English athlete himself.
  • He recognizes the importance of meat.
    • However, he also believes in regenerative farming.

CUTTING THROUGH HEALTH BS

  • Tim cuts through the BS.
    • Don’t give in to industries or organizations just because they’re an “authority.”
      • Health is corrupted, largely.
  • It’s all the same voices putting out the harmful information.
    • They seem like experts, but they’re yelling “fire” in a movie theater.
  • Tim thinks vegan/vegetarian doctors, trainers, and nutritionists should have to disclose their conflict of interest.
    • Just because they do it doesn’t mean it’s good to push others into it.
  • WHO sits down with companies in the sugar industry and others.

BEST OF: Nutrition and Brain Health with Dr. Georgia Ede – Episode 1618

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1618 – On this Sunday show, we’re giving you a best of featuring Dr. Georgia Ede. She and Vinnie talk biases, variables, epidemiological studies, the relationship between good nutrition and brain health, artificial sweeteners and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DR GEORGIA EDE 

  • She went to medical school in Vermont.
  • Dr. Ede her residency at Harvard for four years.
  • Dr. Ede believes that for many, it is easier to believe that saturated fat is what causes fat.
    • Not always financial bias.
    • Ex: Loma Linda University study (promotes vegetarian diet) found that saturated fats hurt mice (they ignored that also in the higher fat diet was a MUCH greater amount of sugar).
    • Other studies that say meat is bad removed all processed foods at the same time.
  • There are no pure studies that say animal foods are bad for your health.
  • She believes removing the processed foods is where the money is at .
  • Now, Dr. Georgia does not eat plant foods or dairy.
    • Fish and other meats.
    • Pretty extreme diet.
    • In ketosis constantly.

 NUTRITION AND BRAIN HEALTH

  • Insulin has to cross into the brain.
    • Your brain can become insulin resistant.
    • Then your cells will starve to death when your brain is filled with glucose that can’t be broken down.
    • Link between sugar consumption and Alzheimer’s.
  • She agrees that these artificial sweeteners are so similar to sugar that your body can’t really tell the difference.
    • They trick the body into thinking carbs are coming, thereby raising insulin levels.
  • Coffee, Dr. Ede believes, can be very helpful for those with head trauma, ADD, ADHD, etc.
    • Stimulant is good!
    • Maybe this is why Vinnie does so well with coffee.
