You CAN eat out and stay NSNG® compliant. Avoid many sauces and dressings. For salad, get olive oil! That's all you need. If a side is a grain, ask for a cruciferous or leafy green vegetable on the side instead. You can get a burger, just ask for no bun. It's certainly harder to eat out at Asian restaurants (many sauces have sugar and bad oils) and Mexican restaurants (it can be hard to say no to chips!). Don't feel left out if your friends or family is eating these things. You are being healthy! FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

Coffee Myths, Unhealthy Oils & More - Episode 1603
: Episode 1603- On this Sunday School episode, Vinnie and Gina Grad talk coffee myths, the conception of veganism, exogenous vitamins, unhealthy oils, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/06/coffee-myths-unhealthy-oils-episode-1603 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club COFFEE MYTHS The idea of coffee stunting your growth is a wives' tale. There really isn't any evidence to support this. Someone who wanted to sell his commercial breakfast drinks put some money behind this myth to help his own business. Coffee has benefits, including for children! Vinnie started drinking coffee at 4pm. UNHEALTHY OILS You need to be careful with the oils you and your children are consuming.. A lot of "extra virgin olive oil" is not what you think it is. There are websites on which you can check the quality of the olive oil you buy. Villa Cappelli is the real thing. Avoid things like canola oil and similar seed oils. Lots of vitamins contain these oils. Look for options that use healthy oils, like olive oil (Pure Vitamin Club uses EVOO!).

"Estrogeneration" with Anthony Jay PhD – Episode 796 https://vinnietortorich.com/2017/04/estrogeneration-anthony-jay-phd-episode-796/ There is estrogen in so many products. Too much estrogen is not good for any of us! It's in plastic bottles, in sunscreen, and plenty of other things we interact with regularly. COVID-19 AND MORBID OBESITY The morbidly obese seem to be hit the hardest by this. This is largely because those who are morbidly obese tend to be unhealthier and many have high blood pressure. Your fat cells secrete inflammatory chemicals all the time, so the fatter you are the more inflamed you are. Be cautious of experts who are all saying different things. Listen to your local officials and the like. This was recorded over a month ago, when the number of fatalities from COVID-19 in America was much lower. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

And what's it about? 88% of adults in the US were found metabolically unfit in a study out of UNC. Just because people are thin does not mean they are metabolically healthy. Starting kids on healthy, not super sugary food is an incredibly important place to start. Try to create some simple principles for your kid. It can be hard because kids naturally want junk food and their friends will likely have it. Just make sure they eat healthily while they're around you, but don't make food a punishment or reward or anything like that. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!
