: Episode 1842 – On this Saturday show, Dan Lucas joins Vinnie to talk Dan's weight loss journey, beating sugar addiction with intentional NSNG®, cravings after dinner, chess, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/05/beating-sugar-addiction-episode-1842 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods BEATING SUGAR ADDICTION In 2017, Dan and Vinnie did a consult. At that point, Dan had lost around 30 lbs down from 224–he is 6'2". This past Christmas, he gained to 232 lbs. The worst part was, he felt terribly. His cough came back and he generally felt much sicker. Dan got back on the wagon, and he has been more intentional with his fat-eating and carb avoidance. Since the New Year, Dan has dropped 32 lbs and is sitting at 200! For Dan, a lot of this was breaking an addiction. Some people can't just have a slice of cake... they have to have the whole thing and Dan is one of those people. It's frustrating for him: he thought he had a lot of control, but when it comes to sugar,

Nina wanted to find out why. There's an incredible bad science foundation. In the 1950s, we had the runaway train of bad advice: that fat was bad. It could never be proven true, yet we continue with them. Check out her book which discusses this: https://ninateicholz.com/about/the-big-fat-surprise/. Nina talks about good fat vs. bad fat and all the myths in that space. It talks about animals, politics, culture, and more. When Nina had to start writing on this, it forced her to adopt a mindset different than the one she held. She was

If you're still working out at home, it can be be repetitive. Give yourself a goal to work for –– this will make a difference, even if you're doing the same exercises.

Anna's cooking some flank steak. But, you can just throw stuff you have together for a rub. Anna uses ancho chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, onion powder, allspice, cayenne pepper. You have lots of savory flavors, but allspice (which is NOT a sugar) adds a hint of sweet. Anna recommends leaving the meat out for awhile before cooking. She's also making some guacamole! Instead of onions, try shallots. She's taking the seeds out of the heirloom tomato and saving it for topping with cilantro –– for now, just put in the rough edges. Also, add some jala

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/05/good-friends-getting-debt-free-episode-1837 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods GETTING DEBT-FREE Tom is working toward being debt free. Vinnie is all for this. He knows some people who are in so much debt they just keep going, and he thinks this is a bad idea. Work to pay it down quickly so it can't follow you. This way, you can enjoy the rest of your life with less worry. Dave Ramsey has some good podcasts on this. GOOD FRIENDS Tom found this lifestyle through a good friend. Let your friends see your progress – inform them, but don't preach. Tom's friend just made little tidbits as time went on, and eventually, he was ready to hear it all and dive fully in. Then, she was there to push him when he needed to be pushed. She lost a lot

It makes them think and learn. Dr. Grandin started by designing equipment. The equipment was an attempt to make treatment of cattle better, but people were still engaging in bad behavior. Things turned around when some activists won a case against McDonalds to do with treatment of livestock. Dr. Grand

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/05/well-balanced-exercise-episode-1835 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods WELL-BALANCED EXERCISE It's good to do balanced work outs. Don't neglect leg day if you're always doing arm day, for example. It looks silly to have the huge upper body with the bird legs. Mix cardio with strength and the like. As you get older, having a strong and active lower body becomes increasingly important. You can walk to accomplish this. Vinnie still does upper body exercise, even if it's not to the same extent.

Serena will have some coffee and maybe an egg or two before a long run. On the run, she'll have olives or an Ultra Fat while going 30 miles. When she gets back, she'll eat a lot! Some people need to eat more before they exercise; others do not. Take care of yourself, but you can do it low carb. PROTEIN POWDERS Vinnie is not a big protein powder guy. It's better to get your protein from whole foods. However, if you need to do a protein powder, Vinnie says egg-white or whey. Make sure these are NOT flavored and do NOT have any sneaky sugars.

Or if you are in shape, walk a ton! Take the dogs for long walks, etc. FIGURING OUT TALENTS "Find out what you're good at, and do it on purpose." Don't be afraid to fail. Sometimes you need to fail to figure out what you are good or bad at. Vinnie figured out he was bad at music, and that's how he found football. He wasn't good when he first started, but knew he had potential. Did perfect practice and got good! FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE O

He also had other health issues that he thought could benefit from a carnivore diet Despite not being supposed to eat meat with hemochromatosis, he tried a carnivore diet, and his health and iron numbers got better! But he talked to Dr. Baker and he said it's actually the sugar that causes you to store iron when you eat the meat. Definitely consult with your doctor if you have this condition –– this is just an n1 experiment. HOME-GYM EQUIPMENT You don't need a lot of space or money to make a 'home-gym.' There's lots of simple equipment you can purchase. Resistance bands, for example, are one easy thing. Vinnie loves a good home-gym. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON

You were new, once. Not everyone is great at Facebook searching, and these people want to change their lives for the better. Be helpful and be polite. Your rudeness could be the reason someone shies away from NSNG® because they don't have the support the group is for. It's okay that there are a lot of questions about salt –– it's something people need to know. NOT FEARING FAT It can take a lot to no longer fear eating fat. It's been so programmed into us. While many people lose water weight when they first start NSNG, if you gain a pound or two to start because you're eating lots of fat that is okay. Once your bod

: Episode 1828 – On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk testosterone levels and low-fat diets, being soft and succulent, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/04/testosterone-levels-low-fat-diets-episode-1828 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods TESTOSTERONE LEVELS Low-fat diets link to lower testosterone levels. Gina cites a study from U of Worcester. Low levels are connected with many health problems, particularly for men. The most important fat in the body is cholesterol. When you don't get a lot of fat, you don't get this important nutrient (and others). Our bodies have evolved to eat a lot of fat. So, when you mess with that, your hormones are affected.

He was a big fan of hers. In 2015, prior to starting this lifestyle, he had a very small stroke and realized he had to figure stuff out. When Kevin saw Gina lose weight, he dove into NSNG®. He had tried juicing, calorie restriction, nothing worked. Kevin had always been a big food guy so preparing food wouldn't be an issue. It was more about reprogramming his brain. He's also really big on the Facebook group! UNHEALTHY DOCTORS Kevin is really frustrated by unhealthy doctor's offices. So is Vinnie – it's hard to see candy in doctor's offices. His doctor saw his numbers improve and still told him not to eat low carb h

There have been studies that suggest grain free food can cause heart problems. Anna's vet told her these studies are questionable. They were funded by Purina. Her dogs have other issues with food with grain, so with her vet's OK, she put her dogs back on grain free food. Vegan diets for animals are, in Vinnie's view, animal abuse. Dogs don't get to make the choice like people. Unlike humans, who are omnivores, dogs are carnivores. RED MEAT AND HEART HEALTH Vinnie has red meat every day. He has lots of saturated fats. Red meat will not give you dangerou

Vinnie says make sure you're clean, then just stick to it. Don't try to eat this way and also starve yourself. You CAN try intermittent fasting, but Vinnie doesn't personally recommend it for most. Stay the course and keep it simple and clean. SALT'S BAD REP Salt should not have such a bad reputation. The science that says salt is bad is just wrong. Salt is good for you. When you start this way of eating, make sure you're getting enough salt. If you feel bad at the beginning, supplement with a spoonful or two of sa
