And of course, the two LIVE group consults with Vinnie, twice a month. The plan is to have an item (like a hat) available exclusively to VIP Members. Broth, collagen peptides, and gelatin—what is different or better about collagen peptides or gelatin powder? (18:30) Marine collagen vs. Bovine collagen: What's the difference? Collagen is good for skin, hair, and nails, but it can be great for joint health; however, it takes time. It's not a miracle, but it can help. Real weight loss will occur slowly for most people and depends on what else you have going on in your body. (27:00) Reminder: a few days or weeks without weight loss is NOT a "plateau" or "stall". Getting your mind out of the "diet mentality" is important! Vinnie is still having issues with Amazon making "Dirty Keto" available. (31:30) At the time of this recording, Vinnie's new documentary "Dirty Keto" was supposed to be released; however, it has hit a delay. You can go to Vinnie's website and enter your email to get notified when it is up on Amazon. When it comes out, make sure you watch and rate it. It's What's For Dinner They go through a list of meat dishes that you can find in Anna's cookbooks. (34:30) Anna's got a promo going on.

Episode 2505 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss dealing with Amazon, tendonitis, weight creep, getting off stevia, the sooner the better, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/06/the-sooner-the-better-episode-2505 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast The Sooner the Better Vinnie is still trying to discover why Amazon is sitting on his documentary "Dirty Keto" and not making it available yet. (3:00) He is only telling the truth, so why the delay? He's realizing how much of an effect chemo has had on him. (13:00) But he knows how lucky he is compared to others who he sees struggling with cancer. He hopes to make it out to California later this year. Vinnie addresses a question regarding lifting weights and tendon strain. (22:00) Even healthy people can have tendon strain as they age. Just take a little more rest before your next workout. Taking TRT isn't necessarily beneficial in the long run. It has been what he has noticed with clients and people in consultations. A food question about weight creep and getting back on the wagon with NSNG®. (28:30) Often it's non-NSNG® foods sneaking back in, or overconsumption of things like dairy or nuts. Other culprits are flavored "zero sugar" beverages, and seed oils. Wine is a big culprit for many people. (35:00) A lot of American wines have added sugar. Alcohol isn't great for you anyway and will hinder your weight loss goals. Is stevia really that awful?. (42:00) There are benefits to getting away from it, the sooner the better. At the time of this recording, Vinnie's new documentary "Dirty Keto" was supposed to be released; however, it has hit a delay.
