(3:00) The challenge is to celebrate but to get back on track. And it’s “Pumpkin Spice” season—the “Jaws of the Fall.” (8:00) Football season and Halloween also add to the challenge. But Anna has your back on the football food! Go to her Substack blog and find a ton of dip recipes! Get Vinnie’s e-book to get started with NSNG®! (28:00) It’s always a great time to review the information in it! NSNG® stands for No Sugars, No Grains—the rule is simple, and you can lose weight if you follow it. Vinnie explains how carbs and fats work in your body. (32:00) ONE OF Vinnie's favorite books by Gary Taubes, Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It  is available in the book club on Amazon  So what can you eat? (38:00) Eggs, meats, fish, and seafood, and a variety of non-starchy vegetables, especially cruciferous ones. Cheese and other dairy products are good; however, some people are sensitive to them. Fats: a good olive oil, butter, and coconut oil. Fermented foods are great, too. Eat until you're full. Stop and then move on. (52:00) You can’t eat anything with impunity, even healthy foods.
