Some day, you might see a lot of weight fall off. The next day, you may have gained a bit back and you might not lose for a week or two after. This is okay! This doesn't count as a plateau –– plateaus are when, for a long period of time, you don't lose weight after you have been. HORMONES & WEIGHT LOSS Hormones can affect weight loss. Often, it is more difficult for women to lose weight due to hormonal differences. It can be even harder for menopausal women. Losing 5 lbs in a month is still an accomplishment. However, schedule a call if you can to figure out if you're doing everything right.

However, she realized she was done eating unhealthily. Though she allowed herself some slack while she grieved the death of her dad, she realized that had to come to an end. People kept sending her food and gift cards, but she couldn't keep using that as an excuse. Recently, she decided to go back to basics. This meant cleaning out her kitchen, stocking up on healthy, and going full-on cold turkey. Eat whole foods. Cut out sugar and grains. Make it easy for yourself to succeed. When you begin, make sure you have lots of salt. This will help beat keto flu and can also help with cravings. This

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/04/learning-the-lifestyle-episode-1817 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods LEARNING THE LIFESTYLE For years, Ashley's mother in law told her to cut out grains after she read wheat belly. Then, she heard Vinnie on the Saturday show. In 2018, Ashley went all in. At first, she looked for substitutions to everyone –– bread substitute, crust substitute, and the like. When she got over this, it was freeing and it helped her take the next step with her health. Ashley and Vinnie have both been teachers. They recognize it can be hard to learn how to live this lifestyle. With each new person, you have to start from step 1. Each time you teach, you learn what else you might need to teach. Be patient with new folks –– unlearning the health lies you've been told a

But, people often try to cheat with keto products. Like, people will look for really low carb grains and say it's okay even though it still causes inflammation. Also, some have crazy restrictions for real food –– Anna ran into a man who allowed sugarless sweeteners but disallowed onions and nuts. For many people, keto allows them to avoid getting off of sugar. NSNG® is simple. Stick to it. You also don't need to be in ketosis for NSNG®. If you can beat the cheating, food will no longer have pow

But, they aren't as good because they don't have the fat. Scientists are working on making fake fats to help with the taste. They won't use animal fats or coconut oil or the like, all of which are actually good for you. Fat Doc 3 talks a lot about this sort of issue with fake animal products. SMART LIFE INTO LIVING Plan life into living. Don't even make it a whole meal. Once you do it, get right back on track. Additionally, if you have a little ice cream or something of the sort, cut it with coffee or something with high fat to put a stop to the craving.

As a result, he's always watched what he ate. Eventually, he realized food was a holistic avenue and looked for new options. He found Vinnie through the Carolla show. When he found NSNG, he just stripped his cabinet and started fresh. Other than this, it shouldn't cost you anything, really. You're just buying whole foods instead of processed foods. In 2014/2015, he lost 30 or 40 lbs right away and then he maintained. After this, he started using 'healthy' foods at crutches and gained weight. Once he bought into these keto-branded foods and the like, he realized he had lost his way. Little things crept in: too much peanut butter, a little

LYLE RODE Dr. Rode has his PhD in Dairy Science and Bacteriology. These days, he largely acts as a consultant to the livestock feed industry. How the animals eat do affect what the cow produces. Butter in the average grocery store is dairy that is pooled together from tons of cows. Kerrygold is a little different. In Europe, butter has to be 85% fat, while here, it only needs to be 80%. THE VALUE OF CATTLE On large farms, they may have specific people whose sole job is to take good care of the animals. On small farms, there are other pluses, too. About 2/3rds of the land we have to grow food is only really fit for livestock. Africa, which has the biggest growing

He is much more into running his own, having a stake in it, etc. Vinnie threw lots of things at the wall to see which businesses would work. You have to be willing to fail to make it work. Not every idea is a good idea! Make sure you think carefully and talk to folks. The good news is you can make something you believe in! WORKING ON WHAT YOU'RE BAD AT Sure, it's important to stay sharp with what you're good at. But what can really differentiate a person is when they focus on what they are bad at. Make those areas stronger, and this includes workouts. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON iTUNES and AMAZON Pleas

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/03/getting-back-on-the-wagon-episode-1809 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli STOLEN GOOD INTENTIONS There are a lot of companies out there willing to steal your good intentions for a quick buck. Vinnie found a horrible website that makes money off of people failing. You bet that you'll lose weight, and you're betting against the house. There's a catch: the math doesn't work, and you have to send them money every month. If you don't reach your goal, you can keep buying in. GETTING BACK ON THE WAGON When Vinnie went to Louisiana, he decided once a week he would have fried catfish. It could be zero or one time. He was there for seven weeks and he only had it once. He was proud of himself because life

STRESS-INDUCED PAIN A few days after Gina's dad's death, she was very stressed. Out of nowhere, she leaned down and her back totally seized up. She couldn't move for 7 hours.

But really, his brain was just working too fast. Once he was reminded to slow down before he answered, he aced all the questions. His Dad advocated for him –– the problem wasn't too slow, it was that his teacher didn't know how ot deal with him when he was really v
