• Vinny Tortorich | No Sugar No Grains: The Truth About Nutrition | June 28, 2026 | Ep. 72 29.06.2026 1sa 25dk

  Vinny Tortorich breaks down the origins of the NSNG (No Sugar No Grains) diet, common myths about sugar, grains, and seed oils, and how industry influences public health advice.Celebrity trainer and health advocate Vinny Tortorich joins Max Helmer (The Low Carb Consultant) for a deep dive into the philosophy and history behind NSNG. Vinny explains how his experience as a Hollywood trainer and his own health challenges led him to develop the No Sugar No Grains approach, and why cutting sugar and refined grains can radically transform metabolic health, weight, and energy.Max and Vinny unpack widespread misconceptions about “healthy whole grains,” low-fat dogma, seed oils, and calorie counting. They discuss why ultra-processed foods drive obesity and diabetes, how seed oils contribute to chronic inflammation, and why many official nutrition guidelines remain stuck in outdated science. Vinny also highlights the role of food industry lobbying, government policy, and politics in shaping dietary recommendations that often conflict with real-world clinical results.You will learn practical steps to start NSNG, how to navigate social situations and cravings, and what to focus on when removing sugar and grains from your diet. This conversation is ideal for anyone curious about low-carb, keto, carnivore-adjacent diets or looking to understand why conventional nutrition advice keeps failing.Find Vinny:Site: vinnytortorich.comInsta https://www.instagram.com/vinnietortorich/X - https://x.com/VinnieTortorichFitness Confidential Book - https://www.amazon.com/Fitness-Confidential-audiobook/dp/B00FB4RUYO/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.LzKlBuGw4Ke_BQRLGRKinCIzhFdfowCG_abH137DbitqA1VsnxaHKvUSCAbH8-lD2uiNOhYngSSl4YcRp33bwSyaSNlo7baV2LszvyrkN4tE9YIVe-ssdWMKvJ0MsV-c8i8r8OO831hpMkHQpxKtYkMuFByBDkmbdIpr4dAtF0tDidYvzhrzzNyIdeCt8iLy8D2G8u6qsGpC5_B0t2ZoUKFvF6Xri5fDGNc83mRjspY.SbFeyngLHQVm7mSY6W31tb0fHzGnwtpQONg2Rl0ejpU&dib_tag=se&keywords=fitness+confidential+book+by+vinny&qid=1782669002&sr=8-1Fat 1 Doc1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVJM_0XEiBIFat 2 Doc - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoPisYHbMcg&t=3sKey  topics:The origins of the NSNG diet and its impactMyths and misconceptions about sugar, grains, and seed oilsThe influence of industry and politics on public health adviceAction  items:Eliminate added sugars from your dietReduce or eliminate grains and seed oilsFocus on whole, unprocessed foods for sustainable healthChapters:00:00 Introduction to Vinny Tortorich01:15 Vinny's Journey in Fitness and Nutrition14:05 The Evolution of Celebrity Training20:17 The Impact of Nutrition Guidelines26:42 The NSNG Approach: No Sugar, No Grains30:47 The Rise of No Sugar, No Grains34:30 Understanding the Impact of Sugar and Grains36:57 Critique of Veganism and Misleading Health Advice45:55 The Influence of Wealth on Dietary Beliefs53:36 Personal Dietary Practices and Daily Routine57:32 Dietary Habits and Meal Structure01:03:21 The Importance of Routine and Boring Meals01:09:06 Exercise Regimen and Recovery01:14:55 Cancer Journey and Dietary Impact01:20:31 Practical Advice for Weight Management01:24:58 lifestyle-outro-high-short.wavKeywords:nutrition, diet, NSNG, no sugar no grains, health myths, celebrity trainer, fasting, exercise, cancer, ketogenicdiet
