NSNG® 101 Lightning Round

  • Questions for the lightning round:
    • Stick to one-ingredient foods.
    • Get rid of ultra-processed packaged foods.
    • Cut out any sugars, wine, beer, bread, “keto” packaged foods like “keto bread”, and sweeteners.
  • What you *can* eat: meats like beef, pork, chicken and other fowl, game meats, fish and seafood.
    • You can have non-starchy vegetables; however, Vinnie prefers cruciferous veggies the best.
    • Fruits should be avocado, tomatoes, olives, and low-glycemic berries.
      • Sure, other fruits can have nutrients, but if your goal is weight loss, avoid high-sugar fruits.

  • Protein “health” bars are filled with junk. (54:00)

    • Vinnie talks about the Rocky Balboa movie he watched recently; even Vinnie needs to be motivated sometimes.
  • Anna talks about getting her sauces into a new store with the help of Kurt Lepird. (16:00)
  • Starting NSNG– start with the pantry and clear it out. (19:45)
    • The best way is to dive in—it will be most effective.

  • Anna shares what some of the challenges were when starting NSNG. (23:30)
    • Out of sight, out of mind helps.

THE FOOD LIST

  • Anna reads a fantastic list of what she has in her pantry to get you started. (28:00)
  • There are things like nuts that, although considered NSNG, can be overdone.
  • Pay attention to your hunger cues and any rogue snacking.
  • Vinnie always says you can not eat any food with impunity; his friend Don is an example.
  • Anna continues the list of refrigerated items, like dairy. (39:00)
    • If you’re not a baby, you don’t need dairy; however, dairy (like cheese) is considered NSNG.
  • She gives a disclaimer about meat–buy what you can afford. (42:15)
  • Anna’s new NSNG Italian cookbook is coming out later this year, but you can preorder it!
  • The Super Bowl is coming up. Anna’s got tons of recipes for game day!
  • Vinnie explains the sugar in bacon. (53:30)
  • Anna’s list is not necessarily comprehensive here, so you can reach out to her on X to ask questions. (56:30)
    • She continues with the veggie list and gives clarity on items like sweet potatoes and squash.
  • They chat about fruit and using citrus to add acid for flavor—that is different from drinking a glass of juice.
    • Don’t forget—olives and avocados are fruits!
  • There are freezer items: make room for meats and for saving bones for broth! (1:02:15)
    • Do not use bones that someone has eaten off of as those will hold bacteria from saliva.
    • Once you start making your broth, you’ll never go back to boxed broth.
  • Anna’s recipes are so good—it makes her happy when people tell her that they didn’t use to like cooking, but now they do! (1:05:00)
  • Stay away from grain-free items such as cassava and tapioca flours and starches and they will mess with your goals. (1:06:00)

Video: How to Put Life Into Living on Thanksgiving

by Vinnie Tortorich

In this short video, Vinnie Tortorich tells you have to put life into living and enjoy your Thanksgiving feast in a way that won’t leave you feeling guilty. Learn how to divide your plate between proteins, starches and vegetables. And why it’s important that your protein is the star. But go ahead … enjoy your mashed potatoes and gravy. Have some stuffing and even a bit of those sweet potatoes — you know, the ones with the melted marshmallows on top.
