PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Coffee Club Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli F Bomb Crowd Cow DR. STANLEY G ROBERTSON Check out his book here Dr. Robertson is not afraid of being uncomfortable, going through pain A former Marine Not a quitter, could not be Quit-shaming is popular in our society Someone saying, "you're doing this, but you should be doing that" Other people don't know what is best for your life Trust yourself Do what you feel you ought to do, so long as it's benefitting you (and not causing harm) We can't be embarrassed around the idea of quitting One of the main focuses of his work is that winners do quit The stigma around quitting is limiting and can be very harmful for growth and making a difference It's okay to quit to better position yourself for your overall life, for your goals, etc. We cling to things that don't work for us because of pressure and fear of being labeled a 'quitter', even if quitting is for the best Many an athlete has quit Trusting one's conscience, one's gut instinct is very important Can be more important than not being labeled a 'quitter' Vinnie personally thinks it may be problematic to quit in the middle of something Ex: Dante quitting in the middle of the season, hurts his teammates, puts others in jeopardy Dr. Robertson's counter is that he does not feel his quitting put these people in jeopardy His teammates are all professionals If he jeopardizes the team, that is the coaching staff, team's fault Him staying in a game he believes he should not be playing may put the team in jeopardy - quitting can be important He believes being in the line of duty is obviously different –- quitting as a Marine during combat is a different story Quitting does not equal being a loser by default

A lot of work went into this and a lot left to do! There's no way everything in each take of making a recipe will go perfectly Just like cooking in real life Anna made mistakes when filming the videos!! Don't be fooled by how airbrushed cooking shows are The "here's one I prepared earlier!" trope Keep an eye out for these videos and for her new cookbook Anna is trying to find the balance between airbrushed and real in her videos Doesn't want videos to come out with unrealistic final products This was a good experience for Anna to go through to experience what her voice is, etc. Anna has spoken with some of her friends in the food show industry Even these food competitions, they know some of the challenges ahead of time So much of all of these shows are faked Important to remember this Going to restaurants and sitting near the cooking station is so great ON AND OFF NSNG® A lot of people don't go full in Either they'll only be 80% in, or they'll be NSNG® for a short amount of time, then non-NSNG®, etc Usually people can still have some success doing this You don't need to be in dietary ketosis to do this However, going on and off of NSNG® can be tough on your body to get fat adapted/repair itself metabolically, then be subject to metabolic damage by eating more carbs, and do that all over again
