Episode 2261 - BEST OF: On this show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk about Vinnie's mom, "life into living" during the holidays, day drinking (or not), marketing sugar, affordable NSNG®, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/12/during-holidays-episode-2261 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli EAT HAPPY KITCHEN DURING THE HOLIDAYS Vinnie's mom, Marie, had surgery several months ago, He went home to take care of her. At the time, she weighed close to 200 lbs. Vinnie had his parents eat NSNG® while he was there, and they enjoyed it more than they thought. Since then, they have largely kept up eating healthily -- especially his mom. Vinnie's mom is now down to 135 lbs! This weight loss allowed her to do the whole Natchez Trace Parkway drive. For the Christmas show, you might have heard Marie talk about lots of non-NSNG® foods. Vinnie gets it! If he were there, he'd probably have eaten some of the unhealthy foods to a degree. But the next meal, he'd be back to strict NSNG®. Anna also puts some holiday LIL. Her family has a tradition of tamales on Christmas Eve. It's good to avoid talking about diet mentality for one meal. Simply put, it's easier to just eat and enjoy for one meal. However, if you feel you can't do LIL without spinning out of control, stick to your guns. MARKETING SUGAR Part of why people get so out of control over the holidays is the marketing. We've turned something that should be about two days of really indulging (Thanksgiving and Christmas), and made it over a month. The "pumpkin spice" movement and the like have made this so much worse. WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE [the_ad id="20253"] PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched on January 11!
