PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club Check out the new broad-spectrum magnesium supplement LISTENER ANNE Found Vinnie's podcast from the Adam and Drew show (her husband heard Vinnie and relayed his message to Anne, as she used to be addicted to sugar) Vinnie will be back on Dr. Drew's show soon and on Adam's big show! Has read books such as Fat Chance by Lustig Anne wants to get lean and cut (she is already thin and beautiful) Marathon runner! HOW DOES FRUIT PLAY A ROLE IN NSNG? Because Anne had a sugar addiction, she wants to be careful about eating too much fruit In the morning, Anne will have mixed berries with chia seeds, coconut and some almond milk and eat that with egg/vegetable dish For lunch Anne will have some meat and salad without fruit At night, Anne will have some apple and grapes with almond butter, etc. Anne hasn't broken the cycle but she is close Her body is still using fruit to bridge the sugar gap She needs to break the fruit cycle then she can go back to fruit later on once the "hanger" after dinner stops Sugar causes our body to release grelin which makes our feelings of hunger come back Eventually, once Anne's body becomes more fat adapted (this is not the same as in ketosis), fruit can be re-introduced without the same effects Harder to become fat adapted while eating fruit Becoming fat adapted can take anywhere from 15-60 days You won't be hangry anymore No pain and no pangs Better to stay away from the more tropical fruits Berries are the best!! Lowest Glycemic Index WHAT ABOUT LACTOSE? Everyone is different You have to test it, and if you plateau and/or gain weight while drinking milk nd eating lots of yogurt, try cutting it out and seeing what works You have to tweak your body to buy into ketone bodies Once your body figures everything out, you can re-introduce, etc.

On this Wednesday edition of the Celebrity Fitness Trainer podcast with Vinnie Tortorich and Andy Schreiber, Vinnie and Andy discuss exercising as a poor way to lose weight, and whether brisk walking or weightlifting is better to complement weight loss from diet. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club check out the new broad spectrum magnesium supplement! ARTICLE ON LOSING WEIGHT There was an article that discussed whether brisk walking or working out was a better way to lose weight In part, depends on what you do at the gym They did not even touch on diet Exercise is a poor way to lose weight! WALKING OR WEIGHTLIFTING TO LOSE WEIGHT Bottom line is, having a good diet is necessary ALSO to lose weight Walking, you might burn more fat calories and maybe make it to zone 2 Trying to keep up with Andy will make you lose 300 calories However if you go eat a bag of M&Ms after, you’ve negated the calories you’ve lost Calorie in calorie out doesn’t work so that is why exercise doesn’t work as well as diet to lose weight Walking is good and heart healthy In your 30s, you start to lose pounds of muscle, so weightlifting can be good to help this Depending on what the weightlifting is, you may burn more fat calories At the end of the day, neither will really MAKE you lose weight Do both to stay healthy and help weight loss

JOHN REED Came to the impromptu fan meet up in LA with his wife from NorCal He is a long haul trucker John had a great constructive weekend at the meet up He enjoyed it very much and he and his wife will attend the next one Been on NSNG for a year First 6 mos, lost 60 lbs Next 6 mos, lost an additional 25 lbs WHAT SHOULD THE HABITUAL SNACKER DO? John in the beginning found it difficult not to snack when he was watching tv, or was in the truck, etc. One day, Vinnie got pork rinds as his long-drive snack He realized he didn't have to eat the whole bag, and that high fat made him feel better He realized raw nuts were better because you aren't snacking the WHOLE time and they aren't so bad for you! John found if he had something to put in his hand like a cup of coffee in front of him, he wouldn't go to the fridge to get a snack PERSONAL PHONE CALLS Reasonably priced and incredibly beneficial Call Vinnie for a chat/advice/etc.
