Episode 2083 - On this special Sunday School episode, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie Tortorich and the two talk campgrounds, crushes, paying attention in school, improving skin, high school sports, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/paying-attention-in-school-episode-2083 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods CRUSHES As a freshman, you might have a crush on a senior. You're in completely different stages! You'd blush if they even looked at you. The dances were all silly, too. Boys were too shy to ask girls to dance, and girls wouldn't do it either. PAYING ATTENTION Anna sometimes struggled to pay attention in school. She'd get the urge to fall asleep. And she figured out ways around this to do well, but it was harder. She really feels she would have been able to pay better attention had she eaten better. But instead she ate junk and crashed after lunch. Eating well also likely would have helped her skin. It did for her daughter! PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The docu

Episode 2081 - On this Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie again in a continuation of last week's show to talk more NSNG® basics, including Ultra Fat nut butters, necessary macros, paradigm shifts, the 411 on various vegetables, starches, and flours, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/nsng-basics-episode-2081 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli NECESSARY MACROS We have a certain number of sugar in our bodies to maintain homeostasis. This is about 1 tsp. You do not need to eat more sugar to get this. Your body can do it through gluconeogenesis -- turning protein into sugar. Your body only really needs two macros: fat and protein. Brains prefer to run on fat! Plenty of people do ultra events without taking in any sugar. Some will fast, some will just eat fat. NSNG® BASICS This way of eating is cutting out sugars and grains (and things that your body treats as such, like starches). It's not cutting out everything like vegetables. Some people

You can watch Anna make a taco bowl. She's using the whole hour, but really it only takes 15-20 minutes to make. Don't drain the liquid off of your meat. Get all that good fat! 75/25 grassfed ground beef is the way to go. Taco bowls/salads are a great, easy and flavorful meal. Vinnie likes them in the morning, too. Anna makes her own salsa for these bowls. And her own taco seasoning! Spices will keep your meals interesting. She starts with olive oil to cook her veggies -- if she's just doing the meat, she won't add oil first. Radishes can give you some crunch. STATINS AREN'T A CURE Vinnie would suggest tryi

Episode 2078 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad joins Vinnie Tortorich and the two talk "Africa" by Toto, coming-of-age movies, laser focus, the importance of exercise, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/having-laser-focus-episode-2078 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods LASER FOCUS Vinnie was so very focused as a teen and in college. For four years, he focused on sports and school at Tulane. His laser-focus made him miss out on a lot. He's making up for lost time, including in pop culture. But, it was great for him to get everything done and find success at the time. THE PURPOSE OF EXERCISE Exercise is a poor way to lose weight. But, it's the fountain of youth. It's still integral to good health. For example, it's so important for circulation which is everything! Walking is a simple way to keep moving and get exercise.

Episode 2076 - On this Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie and the the two go back to basics: they discuss starting out with NSNG®, how all of this works hormonally, common pitfalls, what to focus on and how to succeed, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/starting-out-with-nsng-episode-2076 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli STARTING OUT WITH NSNG® Some people who begin this lifestyle need to lose 10-20 lbs. Others need to lose well over 100. Avoiding sugars and grains works for both kinds of people. The information out there might be confusing, but here it is simple: if you're metabolically broken, let's fix that by strictly avoiding sugars and grains and things that your body interprets as sugars and grains. For those with less to lose, you still benefit. Ultimately, this lifestyle is about improving your overall physical and mental health. Check out the PDF at vinnietortorich.com.

Episode 2075 : On this Wednesday's show Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk packaged keto food ingredients, grocery store "real estate," and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/packaged-keto-food-ingredients-more-episode-2075/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods KETO INGREDIENTS • The show opens up with Vinnie frustrated by a common theme in recent consults. People have been telling him that they have started buying packaged "keto foods" yet can't figure out why their success has waned. • Ingredients like arrowroot and cassava flours, potato and tapioca starches, konjac, and others are not grains, but are often used in "keto" processed foods. They are all starches, which behave in your body like sugar. Vinnie says stay away from them. • Similar issues are happening with other natural sugars like molasses, agave nectar, honey, and others—the body treats all sugars the same. • Many of the "keto health foods" at ExpoWest are filled with these types of ingredients

Episode 2074 - On this Monday episode, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk feeling sick, calculating your Zone 2 heart rate, Nautilus machines, Vinnie's guest appearance on Mike Rowe's podcast "The Way I Heard It," and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/calculating-zone-2-heart-rate-more-episode-2074 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods ZONE 2 HEART RATE Vinnie recommends Zone 2 exercise. It is best for weight loss, and is also excellent for cardiovascular and general health. How do you figure out what heart rate you should aim for? Take 180 and subtract your age. But, add or subtract depending upon your fitness. If you aren't fit, subtract five from the number above. If you're quite fit, add five. That is the heart rate you should stay around to remain in Zone 2. You'll notice over time that you're getting more and more fit, and you'll burn fat and strengthen your heart. It's okay if you need to start really, reallllyyy slow to stay in Zone 2 when you start out.

His chiropractor told him to strengthen his core. Gina is big on planking. Vinnie agrees -- he likes to plank and thinks this is a good way to incrementally build up strength.

Episode 2072 - On this Saturday show, we play a best-of featuring Nina Teicholz, who will be on the show again next Friday. On this episode, Nina, author of The Big Fat Surprise, joins Vinnie to discuss the LCHF diet, the food pyramid, and being persecuted by Plant Bullies.

Friend of Gary Taubes, as is Vinnie. Believes in a low carb diet! Before going to LCHF, she had bone spurs and sinus infections. She realized this SAD was not the right diet. Incredibly educated, amazing woman. A number of books and decades of research. Suppression of the science is why the Standard American Diet prevails. Studies that PROVED Low Carb was GOOD were hidden by those in charge. 7 Country study which "proved" low fat is good was a false, BS study. British Medical Journal backs Nina's findings.

Episode 2070 - On this Wednesday show, Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk Taylor Hawkins, the Oscars incident, decorum, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/the-oscars-incident-decorum-episode-2070 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods THE OSCARS INCIDENT Vinnie's favorite movie of the year was "King Richard." He doesn't watch the Oscars, but he's seen clips and memes of the incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock. It is in part so crazy because Will Smith is such a prolific actor. This violent response makes you wonder -- what is going on with him, and what happened to decorum? There's also concern about precedent -- comedians often cross lines and we can't try to censor them. There were infinitely better ways Will Smith could have handled this. His acceptance speech also seemed pretty crazy. "Love makes you do crazy things" is no excuse for violence. Ever. And while his apologies were a step in the right direction, he did not apologize to Chris Rock

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/fueling-up-with-fat-episode-2068 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods FUELING UP Recently, Vinnie had a crazy travel day. Much of the time he was too busy to eat, and on the plane there wasn't really anything he could eat. The last meal he had before this accidental fast began was meat. He wanted to stock up on fat so he'd be good to not eat for such a long time. While he was at the hotel, he tried to do the best he could. Lots of eggs, for example! GOING ALL IN When people come to Vinnie and are metabolically broken, he suggests you go all in without putting life into living for several months.

He's 81 and doesn't eat very well. The doctor suggested he cut out sweets and carbs. So, he's cut down -- but not cut out. For example, he's sharing his fries instead of having his own. This is a good place to start. Anna told him to get his A1C tested again in 6 months and he agreed. If it's still a problem, she'll try to suggest he cut out these things completely!

Vinnie eats things like broccoli, still. He doesn't want people to stop eating veggies. But they are a side dish (or meat-jewelry, as Vinnie calls them), not the whole meal.
