Episode 2132 - On this Saturday's show, Vinnie Tortorich has an eye-opening conversation with "Lucy X" and they discuss success with NSNG®, behind the scenes at a big online "weight loss" program, feeling like a fraud, and more. https://vinnietortrich.com/2022/06/behind-scenes-episode-2132 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli BEHIND THE SCENES Vinnie welcomes "Lucy X" and tells her how, after having a consult with her, how angry he was at some of the info she shared with him. (2:50) Lucy elaborates on her educational background which is centered in health, wellness, and nutrition. (4:44) She realized that what she learned in school wasn't working for her; as a result, when she heard Vinnie on Mike Rowe's show she decided to learn more. (5:29) Vinnie and Lucy discuss each of their backgrounds in health & fitness training in both college and high school and how much they loved it. (5:40) They then switch gears into discussing Lucy's weight loss journey, first with Weight Watchers, then "dirty keto", then her success with NSNG®. (17:02) Vinnie chats with her about keto products and their unfortunate immediate side effects; as a result, he reminds us how the body reacts when it recognizes something as poison. (26:00) Vinnie then asks Lucy about her job as a "health coach" at Noom and she give a lot of details about the program; as a result of what she now knows about what really works, Lucy feels like a fraud.
