: Episode 1084 - Anna Vocino joins Vinnie this Monday show, and the two discuss our Amazon winner of the week, Vinnie's smart people theory, holiday eating, fake muscle crap, and more! PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Villa Cappelli Thrive Market SMART PEOPLE There are plenty of very smart people who are very fat Don is one of them He's addicted to what sugar does for him Everyone is addicted to sugar Vinnie has two ways to stop the sugar eating 1. He drinks some coffee or espresso at night after having the cake to just go to bed and be done with it 2. He tells people he's "counting calories" because most people understand that language The issue with sugar, you wake up even hungrier! Try to put your blinders on You must make sure that you get over the sugar-craving hump after you eat it once and don't get back into the groove of eating lots of it It's hard for smart people to go against everything they've been told for such a long time We are fed lies most of our lives It's counter intuitive to many that eating fat would not make you fat Commit to 30-60 days of real true NSNG before you consider it all People trick others with bro science and lots of big words Try to make a lot of money off of this BS Bro Science = BS ... coincidence? I think not.

: Episode 1079 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk to Vinnie's mom, Marie, and then discuss the fact that the Fat Doc campaign is closed but folks can still give, some recipes and tomato pastes, the power of photoshop, sports and injuries, diet plateaus, inflammation and more on this Monday episode.

He used to be a studio player FAT DOC The original campaign is closed However, people can still donate here to make this film even better We're working to send out perks ASAP We are trying to add new perks, too, including Anna recording your voicemail message for you! Also going to try to release little doc teasers starting in the fall POWER OF PHOTOSHOP After the episode where Vinnie discussed Oprah, people talked about her more on the FB group A lot of the photos of her are completely photoshopped So wrong to say eating bread can make you thin, and photoshop your own photos to 'prove' it At least show real results if you're misinforming people! Photoshop is sadly a very powerful tool DIET PLATEAUS When people do NSNG, they freak out when they plateau They assume this means its just like every other bad diet in which you plateau then fail However, often plateauing in NSNG just means you need to make a little change or give it some more time Consults are great to figure out what to tweak Consulting the FB group can also help Also, a lot of the time you may lose weight and still lose inches or have clothes fitting better It's normal to lose some weight and have several weeks of nothing Most important thing if you feel better If you're plateauing for a couple months or more, that's when you really need to look into the specifics of what you're doing Some examples of reasons for pleateaus Salad dressings Too much of a good thing (too much HWC in too many cups of coffee) Many other reasons!
