He has written several books on low-carb and ketogenic lifestyles. He credits many others, including Robert Lustig, Jeff Volek, and Eric Westman. Both Vinnie and Gary have seen an increase in health issues, particularly weight gain, among younger and younger populations. (10:00) Gary mentions a New York Times article that follows two sisters for a longevity study. (17:00) He reviews how dietary advice has shifted over the years. Marketing of sugary cereals and orange juice also ramped up sales of ultra-processed foods. (26:00) Generations of people were given the wrong advice for combating weight gain. (28:30) There is a possibility of "fetal programming," which predisposes a baby to certain conditions like diabetes and obesity. But the message should *not* be to not even try to lose weight. What you eat and how your body responds hormonally makes a difference. (38:00) It reminds you that you can't overeat anything, even healthy foods, without consequences. (51:30) Even people on carnivore can overeat. They discuss testosterone and weight gain. (56:30) Gary's next book (still in the works) is about the history of obesity science.

(27:00) A recent study states that there's no statistical difference between water and sugar-free beverages (such as Diet Coke). Coincidentally, or not, the study was sponsored by the American Beverage Association, which includes soda companies. Unfortunately, people may believe this and think they can drink cola drinks without harming their health. (29:15) Other sodas market themselves as healthy or "functional" drinks. One mixes its own "natural flavors," but uses things like cassava. The amount of processing even needed to make cassava sweet is suspect. The "Dirty Keto" documentary addresses these kinds of products. The marketing of these products is shady. Instead of even saying they are simply an alternative, companies market them as "healthy", which is misleading. Other Food Rules Kosher salt has its own rules.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout The Food Noise Fix Pumpkin spice and candy season. (2:00) Sylvester Stallone has a new book out that Vinnie is enjoying. (6:00) You can find it in Vinnie's Book Club here: https://tinyurl.com/slystllnebooksteps Anna shares that she sells her products at a local Pavilions during pumpkin spice season. (10:45) Vinnie describes a two-hour consultation with "Joey Six Pack," a professional trainer seeking advice on fitness trends, particularly GLP-1 medications. (19:45) GLP-1 drugs are portrayed as potentially helpful for starting weight loss, especially for people with significant weight to lose. Users should develop sustainable eating habits in case they eventually stop taking the medication. "Food noise" refers to persistent thoughts or urges surrounding food; the term reportedly became popular through GLP-1 user testimonials and media exposure. Is it truly a good idea to always suppress "food noise, since hunger is a natural biological signal? Highly processed carbohydrates, such as chips, are presented as foods that can stimulate appetite and encourage continued eating. Protein- and fat-rich foods, such as steak, are described as more filling and less likely to lead to overeating. An optimal diet includes meat, fish, chicken, eggs, dairy products, and vegetables—particularly cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kale. Eating more protein is also recommended to support muscle development when combined with strength training. The central message is to limit junk food, prioritize filling whole foods, and establish healthy eating habits rather than relying solely on medication, calorie counting, or portion-control tricks. Remember, Vinnie's suggestions should not *replace* individualized medical or nutritional advice. Get Vinnie's e-book here: https://nsng.vinnietortorich.com/product/intro-to-nsng/ Protein Intake and Muscle Anna saw a question on X about increasing protein but not using it to build muscle through exercise training. (39:00) Being on a GLP-1 should require increased protein and strength training, since a side effect is often lean muscle loss. Protein helps muscles build, but it will do little unless you stimulate the muscle to grow. Only work the muscles you plan on keeping! (44:00) People struggle to understand that once you become fat-adapted (through lower carb intake and ketosis), your body automatically tamps down "food noise."

    Episode 2864 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer speak with two callers about how weight gain can be "the frog in the boiling pot" and how to stay focused. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/10/frog-in-boiling-water-episode-2864 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

(5:00) She has struggled off and on depending on what life hands her, but she really wants to stay committed. She is doing better and has recommitted, but she has some questions. Vinnie shares the time in his life when he started gaining weight after leaving college football. (7:30) The point is how weight can creep up without even noticing. She shares what she does, but she still deals with the "f*** it's", which is basically eating your emotions. (18:00) The goal for the mindset is to remain rational. Losing weight in midlife won't be as easy or as simple as it was in your twenties. (32:00) The VIP Group was opened briefly for Vinnie's birthday, but is closed again. Membership may be available again around the New Year, so keep your eyes and ears open. You can join the waitlist at https://vinnietortorich.com/vip It's a great resource for support, community, accountability, and access to Vinnie in group calls. Negative Results Scott King, a long-time NSNGer, is the second caller. He shares his weight-loss history for those new to the show. He had had gastric bypass surgery, but regained the weight he had lost. (38:00) Scott got a bit unfocused in his goals and became desperate enough to try GLP-1s. (40:30) He began to have negative side effects, and he was only on it for about three months. GLP-1s can cause serious digestive issues and, in some people, cause them to lose their drive, motivation, and zest for life. (46:00) He went back to NSNG® and focused, and he is losing weight again. (51:00) Sometimes it only takes one person to say the right thing to get back on track. (57:00) Thomas L. Cleave was a British naval surgeon who screamed about sugar and carbohydrates from the 1940s to the 1970s.

    Muscle and Meds - Episode 2862

    Episode 2862 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss grip strength, stretching, muscle and meds, the effects of certain meds, and amino acids. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/10/muscle-and-meds-episode-2862 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Muscle and Meds Captains of Crush grippers for building grip strength. (2:30) They are available for purchase through Vinnie's Amazon page. https://tinyurl.com/captcrush Vinnie also likes to do "dead hangs", which is simply gripping and hanging from a horizontal bar for a good stretch. Anna shares a story to remind us that no matter where you live (United States, New Zealand, EU, etc.), you should read ingredient labels on packaged foods. (13:00) Vinnie has had neck pain for years and shares how he has managed it over time. (16:00) Three different doctors told him there was nothing he could do. Instead, he developed a system of stretches and exercises, and his pain has been significantly reduced. Vinnie also uses yoga blocks for his stretches. You can view and purchase them in his Amazon shop. https://tinyurl.com/ygablocks A side effect of statins can be frailty and muscle wasting. (26:00) A prominent NSNG® VIP group member, Scott, recently started gaining some weight back because of a change in his habits. Scott shared his story in the VIP group: he had recently tried GLP-1s because he felt he was struggling a bit. Vinnie isn't fully against certain meds; however, the downsides aren't advertised, and the consequences can be brutal. There is also concern that many of these peptides come from unreliable sources. (35:00) Amino Acids Is taking an amino acid blend helpful? (38:00) It can be; however, not all may absorb well in capsule form. If you can eat the whole foods that the blend comes from (chicken, eggs, etc.), that would be better. Anna has already received a review for her new cookbook. Five stars, baby!
