How to start NSNG (No Sugars No Grains)

Is NSNG for you?

 

Why I chose NSNG

I have a huge sugar and carb addiction and I’ve known for a while I needed to drastically cut back in order to curb my cravings.  I’ve tried before, but I always cave when it gets hard.

Then I read Fitness Confidential and Tortorich’s “cut the crap” philosophy really stuck with me.

So I’m cutting the crap. In the form of sugars and grains. I realized this was different for me just three days in.

I wasn’t experiencing the headaches I’ve gone through other times I’ve tried to cut back on sugars and grains.  I think that’s because other plans also cut out fruits.  It’s too much too soon, at least for me.

In the past, I tried to stick to low fat foods because that’s what the diet industry teaches us is the right thing to do, but Vinnie says “fat is fuel.”   Fat helps with the hunger and deprived feelings.

So I’ve been eating fruit, veggies,  full fat dairy (cheese, milk, Greek yogurt, cream), olives, avocado, meat, olive oil, coconut oil, nuts etc.

I’m also drinking lots of water.

And I feel GREAT!

    Could you have had the potatoes if you wanted to? Just curious!

    I really like crock pot meats. Shredded chicken/beef/pork kinds of things. So flavorful and easy to make. Omelets and salads too!

      Potatoes are high on the glycemic index, so the aren’t recommended, but I’m not saying anything is off limits. Just moderation. Off limits doesn’t work for me emotionally.

        Makes sense. I definitely get the distinction between off limits and moderation. I’ll choose certain foods only when it’s really worth it to me, which isn’t every day. That’s what makes it sustainable, right?!

          I know this is old, but someone might stumble here like I did and find it useful 🙂

          Potato’s are OK according to Vinnie, he just tries to limit them obviously.

            I also stumbled onto this, was hoping to get the NSNG checklist but it doesn’t seem to work anymore.

    For me I can’t eat white potatoes but I can eat sweet potatoes. I can’t remember where they fall on the glycemic index – I just know they don’t make my sugar levels do weird things like regular potatoes do.

    Omelets are my friend. Sliced tomatoes too. Though finding a good fresh tomato this time of year in my little corner of the snow belt is just about unheard of.

    I am 2 weeks into the Nsng lifestyle and have questions about what to eat to lose the weight, if there is anything g different from every other day. Also can you have a glass of wine or does that contradict what I’m trying to accomplish?

      No sugar under any branding, per Vinnie, until you break the sugar bridge a/k/a the reliance your body has on sugar. Once you are over it, you can try introducing a cheat packet of stevia into your coffee, for example. If you find your craving to eat more or have more sweet treats comes back, “cut the crap” and lay off it.

        Yesterday at the Health Food Store an employee told me to try Erythritol because it is not anything like a sugar and doesn’t jack with our blood sugar levels, etc. NOT TRUE! I asked Vinnie if it were just another “sugar substitute by another name,” and he said YES. If we are to be truly NS – we have to adapt to being completely NS – including any form of sugar/sugar substitute.

        I’ve been NS for 2 months and it is STILL VERY HARD for me to adjust to drinking coffee/tea without any sweetener but I’m determined !!!
