On today's Saturday edition of the Angriest Trainer podcast, Vinnie Tortorich answers questions from the newly NSNG Alyssa Klarman of Florida. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club ALYSSA KLARMAN Heard Vinnie's podcast on Resume with Chris Laxamana Tallulah (hey!) got Vinnie on the show Vinnie couldn't get on the show himself Vinnie taught Tallulah the power of her Alyssa started NSNG a few weeks ago from a strict 1280 calorie/day diet She feels so much better now that she is no longer calorie in/calorie out This is better at 125lbs than starving to get to 119lbs IS RED WINE OR BEER WORSE? Alyssa and her husband go out drinking with friends a few times a week She has cut diet soda out of her diet! She wants to know if the sugar of red wine, or the sugar/grains of beer is less "Life into Living" Both are bad, but if it is truly occasional, it is okay Best way to go is drinking distilled liquors BEST ADVICE FOR WOMEN COMING OFF OF CALORIE IN/CALORIE OUT AND GAINING WEIGHT AS THEY START NSNG? Women coming off of calorie in/calorie out will start eating lots of fat, and in turn, gain weight It is hard not to freak out but gaining weight is normal after starving oneself You must stay the course! NSNG is not a quick fix, it is a paradigm shift After the first couple of weeks, it starts getting better (getting past carbflu or ketoflu) Some people need to snack more than others -- if you need to, make sure it is in moderation and NSNG WHEN ADJUSTING, SHOULD YOU AVOID SNACKING? Coming off of eating unhealthy snacks, eat as much NSNG as you need Because the carbs are generally not as filling, you may have to eat more at the beginning, and that is okay It should start to self regulate after a few weeks IS JICAMA OKAY? Alyssa traded apples and strawberries for jicama Jicama is good! Nothing but fiber :) Vinnie is starting to take a harder line approach to fruit Vinnie thinks that fruit is okay, but shouldn't be a staple Berries are the best!
