GEORGIA EDE Went to medical school in Vermont Did her residency at Harvard for four years Dr. Ede believes that for many, it is easier to believe that saturated fat is what causes fat Not always financial bias Ex: Loma Linda University study (promotes vegetarian diet) found that saturated fats hurt mice (they ignored that also in the higher fat diet was a MUCH greater amount of sugar) Other studies that say meat is bad removed all processed foods at the same time There are no pure studies that say animal foods are bad for your health She believes removing the processed foods is where the money is at Now, Dr. Georgia does not eat plant foods or dairy Fish and other meats Pretty extreme diet In ketosis constantly Insulin has to cross into the brain Your brain can become insulin resistant Then your cells will starve to death when your brain is filled with glucose that can't be broken down Link between sugar consumption and Alzheimer She agrees that these artificial sweeteners are so similar to sugar that your body can't really tell the difference They trick the body into thinking carbs are coming, thereby raising insulin levels Coffee, Dr. Ede believes, can be very helpful for those with head trauma, ADD, ADHD, etc. Stimulant is good!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Thrive Market Villa Cappelli Click on "Olivewood" Stunning, new charcuterie boards TRANSITION TO ZOOM Vinnie and Anna recorded this podcast with Zoom They have transitioned away from Skype because Skype is annoying and unreliable With Zoom, they can video themselves and record it, as well as screen share, etc. Check out this podcast on Youtube as well! You can actually see the two of them chatting and the whole thing CALORIES AREN'T WHAT COUNT CICO = calorie in calorie out As of May 5th, chain restaurants require calorie counts on menus This is BAD because it is reinforcing this notion that CICO is what matters There is NO WAY that eggs are worse than a "low cal" dessert just because the calorie content is lower While this type of thing may be well intentioned, it is sabotaging people who want to lose weight/get healthier but do not know Sure, you can starve yourself and lose some weight, but it is NOT healthy nor sustainable Vinnie isn't saying eating 5000 calories a day, but eating well is more important than eating less CICO is way worse FOOD LABELS Gone from new labels on foods is calories from fats Additionally, serving size is being standardized Except, small chip bags will just be one serving to simplify This is great because it will take some confusion out of it Total carb consumption will be lowered so that %s will be greater for fewer carbs Transfats being removed! About time because sat fats can be good "Natural sugars" will be listed on bars This is a way to trick folks again Just because sugars are 'natural' does not mean they're okay Your liver can't tell the difference Most important thing: READ INGREDIENTS! REPLACEMENT FOODS A lot of people try to make replacement foods Ex: low-carb bread for sandwiches This can be dangerous because it reinforces your craving for the food Anna only makes fat-head pizza every once in a couple months It's hard for people to convince themselves that they don't need foods like bread or pasta, etc. REBECCA TAYLOR She is NSNG and has lost weight and seen many health benefits Size 16 to size 8 Also has incredible increased energy She posted on her FB page about her journey and why NSNG works See below

This just results in more people being unhealthy We want to make kids feel good in their skin, but also want to make sure they know what is healthy and encourage them to pursue a healthy lifestyle People, especially kids, do not want to be fat We shouldn't tell kids false things, either Celebrating a few extra pounds is different than celebrating 75+ lbs overweight We want our kids to put their health over everything else It's about how you look and HOW YOU FEEL

This really shaped his idea of health and fitness He and his wife started a blog last year OurHealthHabit.com Brendan tries to incorporate his idea of healthy living into his work He hated that doctors give sick people crap just because they're told it's right! Often, the opposite diet is the right one Giving diabetics low-fat jello is not helping anyone Sugar just fuels cancer - this is easy to see! There is quite possibly a correlation between increased sugar consumption and higher cancer rates

USC & cancer org recently conducted a study 1 cup of coffee - people had lower risks (about 12%) of many diseases including kidney, cancer, etc. 3 cups, even LOWER risk! A similar study looked at people from all different places, cultures, genetic makeups Same result!

Anna filled it with another 150 NSNG recipes Has another pizza crust recipe - pork rinds this time Keep an eye out, order for yourself and your loved ones EATING AND EXERCISE Both how you eat and how you exercise require commitment You can't just be a weekend warrior For both, it doesn't work to be "good" once a week and expect to see results As you are in your formative years, and as you get older, exercise is even more important Even if it is running for 30 mins each day, or playing some sports outside You need to bang your bones up as a kid -- it is good for you

The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet WHAT THE HEALTH This is a new Netflix documentary We have done two other podcasts on this 'documentary' However, when it comes down to it, it is full BS This documentary is all about how meat and the like is bad for you The science does NOT BACK IT UP They only chose studies that work for them Eggs, meat not bad for you Crazy to think otherwise Frustrating that celebrities are pushing out this false information as well Eating meat and high fat has proven to be good for so many people Check out the FB group for example Helps blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. Veganism is not a healthy way to live What this movie preaches is hypocritical Their suggestions on how to live will make many sick You can read Nina's article debunking the "science" behind Netflix's What The Health here Here's a sample: The film makes 37 health claims, and for this review, I investigated every single one.

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 1080 - Andy Schreiber joins Vinnie Tortorich this Wednesday, and the two chat about Ultra Salt's major sponsorship of the upcoming Badwater 135. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club BADWATER 135 This event is an ultra-running event through Death Valley with a ton of climbing to the Whitney portal One of the hottest ultra marathons out there It's hard to even CREW for, let alone compete in PVC's Ultra Salt is very excited to sponsor this event Our product really works, and we hope to help runners stay healthy while they're on this crazy run People die of dehydration out there -- salt, water, and electrolytes are incredibly necessary We're sending all of the participants two bottles of our Ultra Salt before the race so that they can train for 30 days with it They'll see how well it works

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!
