: Episode 1542 - Listener Bryant Manning joins Vinnie this Saturday to discuss his journey, multi-level diet scams, finding NSNG®, building muscle, and more!

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/03/getting-healthy-after-diet-scams-episode-1542

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DIET SCAMS

  • Bryant is from PA. 
  • In his 40s, he had sleep apnea and was pre-diabetic. Once he saw some friends have heart attacks, he realized something needed to change.
  • He started with the Beach Body DIet.
    • He had to buy all types of crap.
    • It's a mult-level diet scam.
      • You can become a COACH and they make money off of you.
  • At the same time, he became raw vegan.
    • After 6 months, it started to feel bad.
      • He was ALWAYS hungry.
      • He did lose some weight, though. He wanted muscle.
  • On this diet, after he lost some weight, he added grains back in and upped protein shakes to try and get muscle.
    • All his calories were synthetic - coming from junk.
  • Bryant had no energy doing this. He'd have to take pre-workout just to have any energy.

TRANSITIONING TO NSNG®

  • Eventually, he heard about the WILD Diet and Abel James.
    • He thought there was no way it could work, but saw it working for others.
    • He starts it, eating more fat than he otherwise wood, and he's feeling better and losing weight.
      • Additionally, he could build muscle!
  • In 2013, he heard the Fat Burning Man, and found Vinnie that way!
  • At the time, he was just north of 200 lbs.
    • He still had some weight to lose.
      • He refined down to 185, and was muscular. 
  • Bryant is in his 50s and looks AMAZING!
