  • Alyssa won a 30 day supply of vitamins for her son with a sensitive gag reflex

JUICING RADIO

  • Shane Waley runs this cool podcast about juicing
  • Everyone should check it out because Vinnie feels that juicing must be done right, and Shane teaches it well
  • Shane’s a vegan

VINNIE’S NAME ON FB GROUPS

  • There are only about 8 people throughout the multiple Facebook groups that Vinnie’s name is associated with that call Vinnie names and hate on him
  • Vinnie is glad to have his name off of these things so he is not associated with people calling him an asshole

NSNG CALLERS

  • Many callers begin to plateau
  • Vinnie asks for their basics to see where they are (take me through your day)
  • Caller couldn’t lose weight because he was eating things like balance bars

NSNG means no grains of any kind, and relatively no sugar other than that found in things like fruit.  Generally, artificial sweeteners and chemicals can also prevent ketosis or a real weight losing state of being.  NSNG is a low carb high fat lifestyle rather than a diet, and those who pursue NSNG often feel better both physically and mentally, and are able to be their best selves on it.  Of course, Vinnie supports putting life into living and having a little non-NSNG snack every now and then, but being strict with oneself when it comes to losing weight on NSNG is often important.  Everyone is different, however — while diets high in dairy may still allow some to lose weight, it may prevent others from losing it, and starchy foods like potatoes can also affect people differently.  Look for foods with low glycemic indexes and make sure you are eating enough each day! If you have any questions or concerns or would like to speak with Vinnie about NSNG, please contact him through the website and he will respond as quickly as possible.

Training Without Sugar or Grain

by Vinnie Tortorich

Welcome to the Saturday edition of the Angriest Trainer podcast, where Vinnie Tortorich answers listener questions from today’s guest, Scott Cumer!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR 

  • Pure Vitamin Club 

BIKE RACES

  • You’d stop riding for the day, go to dinner, etc
  • See people still coming in after dinner, the next day, the back of the packers (which Scott identifies himself as)
  • They always finish and always have fun and are the ones who tend to be overweight
    • exercise is not the best way to lose weight

NSNG

  • Scott is only a month and a half in, he will become more fat adapted and improve further
  • How does he get better while running?
    • continue to trickle a little sugar (if necessary) [pocket fuel]
    • accept that you might need a little help from sugar in exercise and races
  • It is not a quick fix — everyone is different and needs little different things
  • Grocery shopping will always be “from the outside”
  • Oils and fats are good in places while working out
  • US Wellness Meat is good while training

Check out Scott’s podcast, Ten Junk Miles!

Fighting Nausea with the Right Vitamins

by Vinnie Tortorich

Welcome to the Wednesday edition of the Angriest Trainer podcast, where Vinnie Tortorich and co-host Andy Schreiber talk nausea and how PVC vitamins tend not to cause it.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

  • Pure Vitamin Club

MOTION SICKNESS AND NAUSEA

  • Scopase is now off the market, Vinnie used to take it for motion sickness
  • He gets terribly motion sick that he has to drive at all times to avoid bad nausea
  • Vinnie had to get off of an Australian cruise, his motion sickness was so bad

PVC VITAMINS

  • Other vitamins make people nauseated, but PVC vitamins don’t!
  • Nausea is the body’s way of saying “this needs to get out”, so the fact
  • Lots of bad ‘things’ in most vitamins, but not ours
  • Customers always tell us that our vitamins are the only ones that do not make them nauseated
  • These vitamins have even helped an MS patient
