Lightning Round of NSNG 101

  • A little info on Jaspr. (2:30)
  • Get Vinnie’s e-book because it’s a good reminder of getting back on track if you went off the rails during the holidays, or, of course, if you are new to NSNG®. (6:00)
  • What meats can you eat? What are the possibilities? (12:30)
    • It’s not required that you eat grass-fed or organic meats—eat what you can afford.
    • Many times, you can find a local small farmer and buy a portion of beef or pork at a discount.
  • What about processed meats like bacon, salami, and cold cuts? (18:00)
    • How bacon is cured makes a difference. (19:00)
    • Cold cuts can be acceptable on occasion, but they often have additives.
  • Eggs are a fantastic food—completely nutrient-dense! (26:00)
    • Good, real, whole milk cheeses, kefir, and full-fat Greek yogurt are all great choices.
    • Don’t be afraid of real heavy cream. Try to find one without any additives, if possible.
  • Vinnie emphasizes that you can’t eat *anything* with impunity, meaning you can’t go rogue and overeat, even if you’re eating healthy options. (20:00)
  • Moving on to vegetables and fruits. (32:30)
    • Leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables are your best bet. Onions and peppers are great, too.
    • Enjoy savory fruits like avocado, tomatoes, and olives, but they also discuss citrus, berries, and eating fruit in season. (35:00)
  • Nuts: High-fat nuts like pili and macadamia are the best; however, you can enjoy some others, but be careful—it doesn’t take many to overdo them. (46:00)
  • If you are trying to be vegan on NSNG, beans are a better source of nutrients than grains. 
  • If you are a vegetarian, eating eggs, cheese, and nuts is recommended to boost your protein intake.

The Sweet Stuff

  • They chat about “sweet treats.” (53:00)
  • Reducing your intake of sweet treats will change your taste buds for the better.
  • Anna explains the intention behind including sweet treats in her cookbooks. They are meant to be just that—a treat for an occasion!
  • Stay away from “grain-free” chips! They are made from ingredients like cassava and other root flours, which are very high in carbs.

The Easiest Roast Chicken & More – Episode 1884

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1884 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk Stevie Ray Vaughn, Yelp reviews, the easiest roast chicken recipe, ketone levels, sauces, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

YELP REVIEWS

  • Some websites like Yelp seem to take reviews up or down based on who pays.
  • Yelp may be one of the ones who ensures this is not the case.
  • Companies on Google are able to request their reviews be doctored.

EASIEST ROAST CHICKEN

  • Anna talks through an excellent chicken recipe.
  • You can find this recipe 
  • First, she does a dry brine.
  • If you separate part of the chicken, you can put pads of butter in.
    • Check out the video on YouTube!
  • Anna shoves up a few slices of lemon and basil, cilantro, or whatever herbs she has.
  • Add some Villa Cappelli, and she throws it in the oven at 425 F.
  • On the side, Anna is roasting green beans and zucchini.
  • Anna makes some brussels sprouts and pancetta, too.

KETONE LEVELS

  • Don’t compare your ketone levels to others.
  • If you have ketones, that’s good!
  • But, if you’re at .1, then maybe reconsider what you’re eating.
    • Too much fruit?
  • Also, you DO NOT need to be in ketosis to do NSNG®, and generally don’t need it to lose weight.

Recipe Tuesday: Cheesy Zucchini Casserole

by Vinnie Tortorich


I shoulda doubled the recipe as we finished the entire tray in one evening.  Low-carb comfort food at its best.  Hope you all agree. XOXO, Anna.

Cheesy Zucchini Casserole

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-2 shallots chopped
1 red pepper chopped
pinch garlic salt
pinch dried oregano
3-4 zucchinis, sliced into disks (I use this: Progressive International HGT-11 Folding Mandoline Slicer)
1/3 cup full fat ricotta
8 oz (2 cups) grated colby jack cheese
1/4 cup whipping cream
Butter to grease the pan
Salt & Pepper

Preheat oven to 350.

Heat up olive oil and butter in non-stick fry pan at medium-high heat.  Throw in shallots and cook 3-5 minutes until they start to caramelize.  Add in red pepper and the pinch of garlic salt and oregano.  Cook a few more minutes until shallots are caramelized and the red peppers are soft.  Remove from heat and set aside.

Grease a 9 x 12 pan with butter.  Place zucchini disks, one layer at a time, spreading them apart fairly evenly like you would do with scalloped potatoes.  Salt and Pepper each new layer of zucchini.  On the first layer of zucchini, spread out the ricotta cheese.  On the second layer, sprinkle a handful of the grated cheese.  On the third layer, evenly pour the whipping cream, and on the fourth layer spread out the shallot and pepper mixture.  Top with remainder of grated cheese.

Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees, or until the top is slight browned and bubbly.
