(2:00) He gets a little concerned because he wants to ensure the NSNG® message stays as pure as possible. The WHO (World Health Organization) recently released an article that discourages using artificial sweeteners. (15:30) Vinnie was giving this advice since the 1980s! Anna reads the article and they discuss why they are a problem. They do not help with long-term weight loss and other undesirable effects. But then the WHO contradicts itself by saying things like raw sugar and fruit sugars can be ok. The problem with sweet & sugary flavors is that they keep the addiction active, instead of breaking a bad habit. (17:30) Anna and Vinnie dive deeper into the frustration of sugar addiction and how people try to find workarounds and "cheats". (26:00) Here comes the tough love and the benefits of delayed gratification. (28:00) The only way to get better is to cut out what is causing the problem! Some of Anna's long-term successes that she has achieved are when she made peace with and accepted delayed gratification. She makes some great points about the benefits of that behavior. Vinnie adds some great examples of his own about this. (32:50) PERI-MENOPAUSE AND MORE Anna transitions to talking about the challenges of peri-menopause/menopause based on a message she received. (35:40) Starting NSNG® should help with some of the symptoms, and book a consultation with Vinnie if you need some help. Your body doesn't respond the same way as when you are younger; NSNG® can help you with your hormonal balance. Vinnie shares a question he received from a pregnant listener and his very practical response. (37:30) Also, they talk a bit about not being carb-phobic; Anna elaborates. (50:00) They finish up with some recipe ideas, and Anna rips open the time-space continuum. Also, listen for the May promo code for NSNG® Foods' UltraFat offer!
