It doesn't allow your body to level out with insulin and other hormones. People who snack on junk food become totally dependent on it. When you eat NSNG®, you won't feel so hungry after awhile, and you won't miss snacking. You simply don't need to eat every couple of hours. BAD INFORMATION ON KETO There are a lot of "keto" people spewing bad information. They sound convincing, but a lot of the time, it is BS. For example, the person breaking an intermittent fast with green JUICE isn't really keto. Be careful, especially if people are trying to sell you things. Simply because one has a cert

Andy does a lot of pushups and pull-ups and ab workouts, as well as iso muscle workouts for his arms. He's not really doing anything for his legs currently. Vinnie recommends having day 1 be push day. Do 4-6 sets of pushups. Start in up position, and count to four on the way down, then two on the way up. Fewer reps is okay with this tougher pushups! Then, move on to dumbbells. If you have your crowbar, for your triceps you can use that, too. Lay on the floor, have the weights extended,

LOW-CARB HEALTH David didn't have a lot of weight to lose. However, he did have some issues that a keto diet fixed.

: Episode 1760 - On this Wednesday show, Andy Schreiber joins Vinnie Tortorich and the two discuss being just a tiny bit famous, land oil leases, flavor complexity in our coffee, our sales conversion rate (which is 50%+!), Amazon and our nut butters, and more.

FLAVOR COMPLEXITY Coffee has gotten much better over the years. It used to be pretty bad! Diners would use a cheaper bean with high caffeine and not much flavor. Folgers is fine for many. However, if you want robust flavor complexity, try our coffee. We have several different roasts and blends, and our Explorer Series changes every month or two for fun, different flavors. Our beans are the highest quality. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES! Please also share it with family and friends! Buy it and watch it now

Gina and her co-host, Teresa, talk about this on their "Easy Listening" podcast. She reinvented herself...but then seemed to lie about it. She even seemed to forget the word for "cucumber," despite being born and raised here and knowing English. It's funny that Alec Baldwin played along with this. CHOLESTEROL TESTS Andy, Gina's fiancé, has run 4 marathons on NSNG. He runs faster and recovers much quicker. Now, he's trying to put on more lean muscle mass. He is concerned because he's cut down on the eggs and the like. His doctor told him his cholesterol was too high. However, his doctor, like most, didn't re

David noticed that in his family, the members who ate sugar and the like had worse symptoms. For a while, it seemed his wife was getting better, but unfortunately she ended up in the ICU and passed after a lengthy 5-week battle. Three weeks into her hospital stay, David finally got to see her. But, at that point, she was largely sedated, unfortunately. He was worried about the food she was fed in the hospital. David tried to get the hospital to try

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/01/figuring-out-life-episode-1753 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VINNIE'S ATHEISM Vinnie is open about his atheism. He believes he became an atheist because of his experience with the church. More than anything, the nuns at his school were cruel. They treated him terribly, abused him, and made his life much harder. He had a hard time finding God in all of the abuse he was enduring from the church. FIGURING OUT LIFE Sometimes as a kid, you try to figure out your life. You may need to ask difficult questions to do so. If you are disrupting, that may be okay –– just be polite and respectful, but stay true to yourself and your beliefs. Challenging people and ideas can be a good thing if done with respect. As adults, when we begin these weight loss journe

When she finally cut out most carbs, she found out not only did she lose some weight, but she felt way healthier too. She had more energy, and didn't feel as old as her similarly-aged peers. One of the issues she worried about that her father also had was her loss of hearing. However, 3-4 months in, she noticed she didn't need it. Maybe it was because of this way of eating, maybe it w

The code through the 11th is newyou15 for 15% off. MEAT COMMERCIALS Back in the '80s, meat mattered! Commercials would focus on meat. If the burger meat wasn't hanging out of the bun, that would be a problem. Vinnie thinks of the "Where's the beef?" commercials. SLOW MAIL Deliveries are a bit slow right now. If you ordered from us, we get orders out right away -- the mail is pretty slow right now. More people are using the mail and the USPS and other companies are understaffed. We will make it right if something goes wrong -- contact us if you want to talk. COFFEE BLENDS We made the Athletic so it is extra caffeinated but mixable. It's a community coffe

Often, though, he does. When he does, it's usually centered around eggs or bacon, or cottage cheese! Eat if you're hungry––if you're not hungry, you don't need to eat. If your workout is particularly hard, then maybe eating a little something makes sense. You *don't* need carbs before your workout. PROPERLY USING FAT Don't be afraid of fat on NSNG. If you don't like certain foods, make sure you're getting enough fat in your food. Spices and herbs certainly help, too. Cook your mushrooms with som
