Summary

Episode 2604 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the return of CICO, hormones and eating, yoga and pilates, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/02/the-return-of-cico-episode-2604 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - The Return of CICO Vinnie has been getting a lot of questions lately regarding restricting and tracking calories. (2:00) Does CICO (Calories In Calories Out) work? (5:00) Short answer: yes. But why do it? It is a form of restriction and the best way of losing weight is through controlling your hormones, which can be done without tracking every calorie. (13:00) You can control aspects of your hormones through lifestyle and eating. Eating correctly and avoiding processed junk helps control insulin, ghrelin, leptin. Insulin regulates blood glucose. Ghrelin is the hormone that signals hunger. Leptin signals when you are full. Cortisol responds to stress and can cause weight gain. Vinnie explains how “resistance” develops. (30:00) Vinnie mentions he had a consultation where a caller’s life coach joined in the conversation. (39:00) Anna loves this idea! Getting the extra help, if you can do it, could be beneficial. ALSO: You can invest in Eat Happy Kitchen through her website and StartEngine. (18:30) Details are at Eat Happy Kitchen. Yoga/Pilates 101 What about yoga, Pilates, & stretching as forms of exercise? Vinnie loves yoga because it can stretch your muscles and joints, but it is not necessarily great for strength training. (43:00) Reformer Pilates is a great anaerobic exercise and great for strength. Don't rush through the exercises. Take your time and do it right. It should kick your ass, but not put you in pain. Stretching is good for muscles and joints, but doesn’t count towards strength training. More News If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, register here!
