Turning Around Your Health - Episode 1702
: Episode 1702 - Andy Weixler joins Vinnie Tortorich on this Saturday show, and the two talk turning around your health, meet-ups with Vinnie and the crew, helping your kids achieve a healthy weight, Andy and his son's clothing company (SnakeScout) and more! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/10/turning-around-your-health-episode-1702 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods TURNING AROUND YOUR HEALTH Andy met Vinnie and Andy at a convention in Dayton. He drove from Minneapolis. At that point, he'd been doing NSNG® for just short of a year. He wanted to meet Vinnie and thank him for his part in turning around his health. He found Vinnie through the Carolla show. For the first two years of Vinnie's appearances, he would speed through because he wasn't ready to hear it. Once Gina and Dr. Drew spoke to their personal experiences, Adam started paying attention. He really did feel like his good intentions were healthier -- he tried to do what people said were 'good,' but he could never lose weight or stay on it. Why are we eating the food that farmers feed cows to fatten them up for slaughter? Within a few week, he was listening to his body -- when he was hungry, when he was full. His clothes started fitting differently. He's about 5'9", started around 350 and has lost about 90 lbs. He's just over 2 years in. He has a ways to go, but he knows how he's going to do it. Andy's kids have done this, too. His 13 year old son has lost about 40 lbs himself. Now, his son plays football because he's fit enough! His energy is much better, too. Andy and his son started a fantastic clothing company, SnakeScout: https://www.snakescout.com/ FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

Quitting Veganism For Your Health with Lierre Keith - Episode 1701
: Episode 1701 - Lierre Keith joins Vinnie on this Friday show to talk sustainable carnivorism, vegan lies, quitting veganism for your health, human instincts, environmental myths, Lierre's vegan health issues, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/10/quitting-veganism-for-your-health-lierre-keith-episode-1701 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli Crowd Cow LIERRE KEITH Lierre has been on the show before. She used to be a vegan, but had terrible health issues as a result and switched to a low carb high fat diet. Several vegans threw a pie laced with cayenne on her at one of her speaking events. She couldn't breath for about a week. It burned and she felt paralyzed. They never caught the three guys. She became a vegan as a teenager. QUITTING VEGANISM Somewhere around 85% of vegans stop being vegan. Most people don't last 3 months -- they realize it's not working. Lierre was ideologically extreme - when she commits, she commits. So, it took her health REALLY declining to quit veganism. Her body was failing when she wasn't eating meat -- she didn't get enough cholesterol. She cares a ton about sustainability and ethical treatment of livestock, which is partly why she was vegan for so long. She realizes now that sustainable animal farming is good and not bad for the environment. Once you accept that all you've learned about veganism may not be true, there is a wealth of information and science out there pointing in the contrary direction. Open yourself up to it. Do the reading. In vegan world you don't need animal protein -- yet often, you still crave it. Simply put, you do need this sort of protein. Most people don't have the willpower to fight this instinct, and that is a GOOD thing. Lierre wrecked her spine, her reproductive organs, and other parts of her body eating this way. There are many other myths vegans need to overcome from indoctrination. Agriculture causes the killing of tons of animals, and contributes to mass extinction and soil depletion.

When it comes down to it, he's just glad he can go. However, the mask policy is poorly enforced and seems fairly arbitrary. He also wasn't allowed to stay past his appointment time even though the room was not at capacity and he offered to leave if anyone else entered. Generally, they've smartly spaced out aerobic equipment. However, they have some aerobic equipment in the weight room. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

Within a few weeks, the hunger pangs are down and so is his weight! John's like 100 lbs lower than his heaviest weight! It was cognitively dissonant for while, but once he tried it and saw that it worked, he was sold. He had tried Nutrisystem and other 'diet' plans, and none worked.

He wanted to see how long he could live without eating crap. Now, he's 280 days in. He hasn't had a lot of time to run since the summer, but he feels better.

Buying into Diet Culture & the Nutrition Coalition with Amy Eiges - Episode 1696

Her weight now is around 200 lbs. She believes her highest weight was around 400 lbs. She started this weight loss journey at 49 years old, only four years ago. At six years old, she had internalized that people were calling her fat. Her mom had a weight problem as well as several other family members. BUYING INTO DIET CULTURE Amy was always on a diet, she went to weight loss camps, she spent all of this money, and nothing helped her. She still bought into the moderation and calorie fantasy. She tried every fad diet there was and never stopped to think: maybe it's more than just these diets. THIRTY FIVE TIMES she tried Weight Watchers. Several years ago, though, she realized she needed a health and lifestyle change, not some unsustainable diet. Within two weeks of eating low carb, she felt so different. She was satiated. She ended up cancelling her surgery and she's so glad she did. When she began, she kept it super simple. This is the best way to start. THE NUTRITION COALITION Check it out here: https://www.nutritioncoalition.us/ Amy is a coordinator for this group. Nina Teicholz heads this up!

Gina Grad (https://twitter.com/GinaGrad, https://www.instagram.com/ginagrad/) joins Vinnie to read the menus and discuss the bad lunches of some rich schools published in the New York Times. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/10/best-of-unhealthy-lunches-episode-1693 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods UNHEALTHY LUNCHES NYT released an article documenting the bad lunches some rich schools provide their students It's appalling! Schools aren't spending money on healthy lunches The best thing is basically a baked potato with broccoli and processed cheese. Pretty sugary, but overall, could be worse!! In the realm of school lunches, Vinnie is happy there is broccoli and cheese. "Italian Dunkers" - these are grains and tomato sugar, basically. Pizza sticks, lettuce salad, pudding dessert. This sounds pretty unhealthy on the whole. Lettuce, good, but the rest is about as bad as it gets . Plus, you're going to put dressing filled with sugar on this salad. No protein or fat in here. Tacos with extra processed stuff on top and around. Put it in a shell, and now it's unhealthy. Potato coins; this just SOUNDS bad. Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Corn, Dinner roll, & fruit is pretty typical. The chicken is breaded. It's bread on top of bread with one of the worst grains - corn. One of the worst items is juice slushies. Juice is ALREADY straight sugar, so this just sounds even worse. These meals will put kids to sleep. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!
