(3:00) Jim is the first call-in guest, who discovered Vinnie’s podcast through Mike Rowe. (5:30) There is such a thing as overeating even of healthy foods. Vinnie shares an example of how even NSNG-friendly foods can sneak in too often. Jim asks about balancing fats and proteins. (19:00) Everyone in diet culture wants rigid, perfect ratios, but just find a good average that works for you. (20:15) Anna is the next guest and shares how she started NSNG®. (26:30) She has come a long way and is now running ultramarathons. She has also changed her life in other areas that have helped, including reducing alcohol. There are still ultrarunners who load up with high-carb gels, etc, and it’s not necessary. You can train your body to use fat as fuel, even for ultramarathons. (36:00) Darren is the third guest. (44:30) He shares his health background and how he discovered Vinnie. Severe sleep apnea was depriving him of proper oxygen levels, and his doctor put him on a CPAP machine. (48:00) NSNG® helped him get off the CPAP machine. (51:00) Darren has been thorough in doing his reading and research, and all the science luminaries validate what Vinnie has been preaching for years. (54:30) Simply removing the highly processed foods makes a huge difference. (1:00:00) Be sure to strength train to avoid losing muscle during your weight loss—muscle is king! Darren has another question about getting hungry even after a large meal. He had been doing OMAD, but that could be the problem.
