Keep on it and lbs will start to come off Be happy with the results you have at first, even if they are not immediately weight loss Feeling better and eating more without gaining weight is a win Vinnie advises Kristi to cut back slightly on the fat, add a bit more proteins and such and the weight will come off While this is a high fat diet, there is still a thing as too much fat Plateauing is also normal

: Episode 1300 - In honor of Vinnie and Andy's being on the road this past week, we are throwing it back to a show from last year which was recorded while the two were traveling for business.

There's a difference between a joke and overstepping and being wrongly rude Don't attack newbies! If they are trying, that is great Also do not post photos of other people who are overweight without their consent Can be extremely damaging for people who are going through stuff You don't know where they are in their journey This all being said, we aren't going to remove every reported post Some people do take offense to non-offensive things CALORIE COUNT You do not need to calorie count on NSNG® Calories are not a good measurement of what you are eating They are not created equally Check out Good Calorie Bad Calorie A calorie is just a unit of energy Your body can't store sugar as sugar after a certain level Stores it as fat This is why CICO does not work You can have fewer calories but if too many of them are sugar, you will still gain weight and fat (Also, take in higher fat with protein so your body doesn't convert the extra protein into sugar) PLEASE SUPPORT LONNIE AND THE BEAUCHAMP FAMILY HERE
