Fitness Confidential With Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 1903 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk alpacas, cutting out dairy, coconut oil, ketone monitors, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/cutting-out-dairy-episode-1903 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods CUTTING OUT DAIRY Gina has recently cut out dairy. The people she's spoken with have simply said she's not the type of person who can keep losing weight while eating dairy. For some people, weight loss is difficult if you're still consuming dairy/lactose! But... cheese! Yes, while it can be hard at first, just give it a try. Gina goes for the salami and vegetables now instead of the hunk of cheese. Vinnie isn't a big dairy consumer, either. It's very easy to go overboard on dairy. You can add coconut oil to your coffee instead of heavy whipping cream -- but be careful not to eat too much or your stomach may turn against you!

: Episode 1902 - On this Saturday show, Jill Rieder joins Vinnie to talk the California exodus, stress-induced binge eating, weight fluctuations, getting out of the house, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/binge-eating-weight-fluctuations-episode-1902 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods JILL'S MOVE Jill, like Vinnie, used to live in California, and moved away prior to the pandemic. She's appreciated more flexibility during the pandemic in her new state. There's so much to do where she lives! Tons to do outdoors, and her neighbors are all a phone call away. BINGE EATING Jill lost roughly 100 lbs. She's gained ~60 lbs back. Within the past year, she's gained 40, lost 30, and gained 30 back. Sometimes she will have binge moments. This is what has hurt her over the past years. Jill binge eats when she is so stressed. Her job is intensely demanding, and life can become too much. Eating can be a dopamine hit, and that is what is scary and challenging. People ca

Episode 1901 - On this Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie to discuss the Olympics, disincentivizing success, going all-out, Bob Beamon, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli DISINCENTIVIZING SUCCESS In the Olympics, we've seen some deincetivsing of success. We aren't letting the best be the best anymore. We've seen this with Simone Biles. Her scores have been lowered simply because she does so much more than anyone else. If people work hard and overachieve, REWARD them for that. We shouldn't lower the best However, we should be more comfortable talking about mental health and moving through negative experiences. Simone Biles also has stated she did this for her own physical safety (as the twisties are very dangerous) and for the betterment of her team (so that they can succeed if she feels she will play badly). Djokovic behaved horribly. In quitting, he robbed his teammate of a change for a bronze me

: Episode 1900 - On this Wednesday show, Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk the convenient Ultra Salt, proper labeling, our upcoming release of Zinc and Vitamin C products, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/our-zinc-and-vitamin-c-releases-episode-1900 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods CONVENIENT ULTRA SALT Ultra Salt is super convenient. Because it's in pill form, it's easy to take. You can take too much salt. Take 15-20 oz of water per Ultra Salt -- this won't be difficult if you're working out. It's good for kids, too, but make sure they're also drinking water. Less really can be more here. You can take some Ultra Salt the night before intense exercise, too. The more hydrated you are before exercise, the more likely you are to perform well. ZINC AND VITAMIN C In October, we will be releasing two products: One is Zinc picolinate, and the other is a Vitamin C product. The Zinc is our simplest product, but our Vitamin C is simple, too. The Vitamin

She lost a lot of weight, and gained a ton back. Now, she weighs 300 lbs. Look for her Saturday show this upcoming Saturday. She has faced her failure and is taking control. No more excuses, Jill is losing it all again. Sometimes you have to admit you've screwed up to get better again. DIET ADS Many are BS. Anna made up a bunch of diets and mixed them in with real ones, and they all sounded the same. That's how ridiculous these "diets" are! Think "pink drink." DRUG-PUSHING DOCTORS Many doctors push drugs for sicknesses or things that should be cured holistically. Of course, so

: Episode 1898 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk radical surgeries, Vinnie's neck pain and recent doctor visit, CBD vs. hemp, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/07/radical-surgeries-vinnies-neck-episode-1898 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods RADICAL SURGERIES Several years ago, Vinnie had an insane shoulder surgery. It was called a ream and run surgery. He could not sleep for decades prior to the surgery. Vinnie was off of all painkillers after two weeks despite the doctor telling him it would be 3-6 months. Now, Vinnie is having terrible pain again. This time, it's his neck. The lightning bolts are in his neck and sometimes radiate up to his skull. Vinnie is assessing the need for surgery now. He's putting in the research to find an amazing surgeon, and he knows this search could take years. Recently, Vinnie went to a doctor who simply did not help him. He had to wait months for the appointment, and it was completely underwhe

: Episode 1897 - On this Saturday show, Carlos Duran joins Vinnie to talk his weight loss journey, cramping, beating daily pain, learning how to feed yourself, helping others, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/07/beating-daily-pain-more-episode-1897 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods GETTING HEALTHY AND STAYING IN SHAPE Carlos began this way of eating a little over 5 years ago. He is 55 now, and very muscular. He's been lifting weights since he was 15 years old, and hasn't quit. Around 40 years old, he gained about five pounds every years, and got up to 265 at 6'5". At the time, he thought he was eating right, but eventually realized he was just lied to. He wasn't trying to lose weight, and figured he was healthy. By accident, Carlos found Vinnie's podcast. In just over a week, he lost 10 lbs. After around 3 or 4 months, he got to 225 or 230. When he started losing this weight, he also cut down on the exercise a bit, and is still in better shape and health.

: Episode 1896 - On this Friday show, Don Coddington joins Vinnie Tortorich to discuss their trip to Lone Pine to hike Mount Whitney, misconceptions about salt, Don's fat loss, food addiction, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/07/hiking-mount-whitney-with-don-coddington-episode-1896 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli HIKING MOUNT WHITNEY Don and Vinnie tried to hike Mt. Whitney recently. First, they stayed in Lone Pine. It's a very, very small place. For Mt. Whitney, they only give 100 passes a day. The question Vinnie and Don have is: why? There is so much space! For other mountains in CA, WA, and CO, there are thousands every day. They finally learned why, and got the 411 on the mountain's rangers. This year, Don and Vinnie climbed it without a pass -- they know this wasn't right, but they picked up trash on the way up and down. They tried to do the hike a couple of days. To prep, they did a shorter hike. After a failed attempt for

He's not the guy who fasts, and he thinks fasting is not for everyone. But, the perk of being fat adapted, is if you can't get good food over some period of time, you'll be okay. This happened to Vinnie. When he climbed much of Mount Whitney, he didn't eat. He could only make it because he was fat-adapted. When you're in a pinch, being fat-adapted can certainly help. It's also good when you're traveling --- many airports only have crap. MT. WHITNEY Vinnie and Don tried to summit Mt. Whitney while Vinnie was in town for Badwater. However, he got up much of the mountain and began feeling lik

: Episode 1893 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk milk chocolate, studies that don't make sense, crazy diets, sugarholics, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/07/studies-that-don't-make-sense-episode-1893 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods STUDIES THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE There are many studies out there that don't make sense. Like, pasta helps you lose weight and the like. Sometimes they may be legit. But, take a look at who funded the studies. For the pasta study, for example, it was Barilla -- the biggest pasta producer in the country. Money talks! Other times, studies just aren't significant enough to show real results. This milk chocolate study Gina saw only studied 19 women for two weeks, and only controlled their chocolate consumption -- it didn't control for anything else they ate. These studies are problematic because people take them at face value and it doesn't have good results. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON iTUNES and AMAZO

He picked up running. Once he did a half marathon, he realized he was a pretty good runner. Mike suffered a broken back after a ski accident–following this, he really got into ultra running. 3 weeks into his broken back with a body brace on, he went out and ran half a mile. He felt bad, but it didn't hurt, so he started running every day. He recovered very quickly and began running 10+ miles every day. Trail running really appealed to him and he got hooked. He is also the winner of the Ultra Running Triple Crown: he had the fastest cumulative time ov

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/07/best-exercise-high-ketone-levels-more-episode-1889 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli THE BEST EXERCISE The BEST form is exercise is the one you will actually do. People scoff at this, but Vinnie means it. If there's something you'll do for longer while you listen to music, do that. If it's walking, that is ALWAYS better than nothing and can be excellent exercise. HIGH KETONE LEVELS Vinnie has been attempting to keep his ketone levels very high. Normally, he eats between 40 and 50 g of carbs a day and easily stays in ketosis. This is in part because he exercises so much. These days, Vinnie wants to be super fat-adapted before he climbs Mt. Whitney. Vinnie wants to be between 3 and 5 when he's active on the ketone level reader. Right now,

They ban the good and the bad. Fad diets aren't on there, but neither are good lifestyles like NSNG®. Some people advertise as coaches even though they don't know Vinnie likes the crackdown here. It's hard for people to distinguish between what's good and bad, real and a lie. DISCONNECTING FROM YOUR PHONE Disconnect to connect. When he isn't doing work on his phone, he isn't ON his phone!

CASUAL EXERCISE Jackie only casually exercises. She walks, hikes and rides a bike, but she's not hardcore about any of them. No more gym, just for fun. You don't need to be super fit or the like. It's just important to keep moving. EATING MEAT Jackie eats a LOT of meat. She likes to have

Many people who do these events overcome a LOT to do them. Those who participate have amazing stories (think of Mike McKnight, for example!). For Chris, many of the pioneers of ultra races were his heroes. He wanted to do what they were doing! THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST FOOTRACE This weekend, the Badwater 135 is happening. It begins July 19.
