There Is No Cheat

  • They spend a little time chatting about musician Cat Stevens (aka, Yusuf Islam). (2:00)
  • Vinnie’s started making his iced coffee again. (14:00)
    • He uses soda water and sometimes tequila; yep, he said tequila.
    • Gina assigns the name “The Tortorich” to the beverage.
  • Gina asks Vinnie about his health. (24:00)
    • Vinnie will have a fraction of the chemo he had before; however, he will have to go into an isolation mode to avoid infection for a few weeks.
    • He made it 17 years without it coming back; he had been told it would be back within 5 years.
    • His choice of lifestyle has helped keep it at bay for that long.
  • Gina has a story about an old wives’ tale. (36:00)
    • It’s a question about resistant starch and freezing bread.
    • Some things can be done to certain foods to reduce their glycemic index; however, their effect is still too much for metabolically broken people. (38:00)
    • So if you have a sluggish or damaged metabolism, they aren’t going to help you. They will still likely hinder your progress.
  • There is no cheat!
    • People who are addicted to food will make up any “cheat” to allow themselves to eat any food. (42:30)

Common NSNG® Mistakes & Caster Semenya – Episode 1314

by Vinnie Tortorich

COMMON NSNG® MISTAKES

  • Karen, a super active NSNG®er, called in recently
  • Began to plateau, couldn’t understand why she wasn’t losing weight
  • Was drinking bulletproof coffee too often
    • Eating eggs is better
  • Intermittent fasting is also not necessary, but a lot of people feel they need to do it
  • Karen asked about UCAN, too
    • It wouldn’t give you a big glycogen load
    • Now, they’ve added chemicals and sweet flavorings to it
    • This is a company that steals good intentions
    • Don’t fall for their BS
  • Trying to serve too many kings
  • Doing everything all at once (fasting a little bit, having things like UCAN a little bit, etc) doesn’t work
    • Especially when you only have a little to lose
  • Weight loss normally slows down the more you lose!
    • You have to stick with it
    • Try to get into good shape and continue to lose weight slowly
      • This is healthy
      • Slow and steady, especially for those with sicknesses like Type 2 Diabetes
  • Don’t try to lose weight super quickly
    • That’s not always how it works!

CASTER SEMENYA

  • Semenya is one of the best women runners in the world
  • She has really high testosterone levels
  • Now being kept from competing unless she takes medication to lower her natural testosterone levels – this is wrong
  • This is such a slippery slope
  • Let her run! She has unique body conditions, but this is natural!
