(3:00) Vinnie hopes everyone lives as long as possible with a high quality of life. (10:00) Over the years, many concerns have emerged about trends that could harm life and the environment. (11:00) One trend that has progressed and seems consistent is how sugar creates disease. But somehow now, influencers are saying low-carb is wrong. The poison is in the dose and frequency of sugar. (17:00) The invention of the CPG (Consumer Packaged Foods) has evolved into a "profit over people" model. (21:00) Convenience has been marketed in a manner that ultra-processed foods have taken over the market. Any kind of change can be tough, but you can work your way through it. (33:00) Single-ingredient foods are your best bet. People are recommitting to their health journeys before the holidays. (36:00) Go to Vinnie's website to get the NSNG e-book. (42:50) https://nsng.vinnietortorich.com/product/intro-to-nsng/ NSNG® 101 Lightning Round Questions for the lightning round: Stick to one-ingredient foods. Get rid of ultra-processed packaged foods. Cut out any sugars, wine, beer, bread, "keto" packaged foods like "keto bread", and sweeteners. What you *can* eat: meats like beef, pork, chicken and other fowl, game meats, fish and seafood. You can have non-starchy vegetables; however, Vinnie prefers cruciferous veggies the best. Fruits should be avocado, tomatoes, olives, and low-glycemic berries. Sure, other fruits can have nutrients, but if your goal is weight loss, avoid high-sugar fruits. Vinnie explains why white (and most other) potatoes should be avoided. Protein "health" bars are filled with junk. (54:00) They discuss how you can do an NSNG® lifestyle while trying to be vegetarian or even vegan. (58:30) Dairy depends on whether or not you are sensitive. If you are sensitive, you may gain weight. (1:00:00) Anna talks about her upcoming book, which is a beautiful party food book!
