Vinnie has told the person they are lying to themselves about what it takes to be healthy. You can’t lie yourself into a healthy diet. Using something like a GLP-1 is no different: you’re tricking your body into a specific response, but if the lifestyle doesn’t change, the weight will return when the drug is stopped. (13:00) We don’t advocate smoking tobacco or pot because the long-term use is damaging. (16:00) However, Vinnie and Chris discuss the odd and inconsistent tobacco use rules. Fitness: are we doing it “wrong” (according to an article in the New York Times)? (29:00) So many people join the gym, but something as simple as walking is great! (34:00) Adding some weight can help, especially uphill. Get up and get moving! (39:00) Vinnie unleashes a bunch of ideas he’s considering. (50:00) Interested in joining the NSNG® VIP group?
