Vinny Tortorich | No Sugar No Grains: The Truth About Nutrition | June 28, 2026 | Ep. 72

Vinny Tortorich breaks down the origins of the NSNG (No Sugar No Grains) diet, common myths about sugar, grains, and seed oils, and how industry influences public health advice.Celebrity trainer and health advocate Vinny Tortorich joins Max Helmer (The Low Carb Consultant) for a deep dive into the philosophy and history behind NSNG. Vinny explains how his experience as a Hollywood trainer and his own health challenges led him to develop the No Sugar No Grains approach, and why cutting sugar and refined grains can radically transform metabolic health, weight, and energy.Max and Vinny unpack widespread misconceptions about “healthy whole grains,” low-fat dogma, seed oils, and calorie counting. They discuss why ultra-processed foods drive obesity and diabetes, how seed oils contribute to chronic inflammation, and why many official nutrition guidelines remain stuck in outdated science. Vinny also highlights the role of food industry lobbying, government policy, and politics in shaping dietary recommendations that often conflict with real-world clinical results.You will learn practical steps to start NSNG, how to navigate social situations and cravings, and what to focus on when removing sugar and grains from your diet. This conversation is ideal for anyone curious about low-carb, keto, carnivore-adjacent diets or looking to understand why conventional nutrition advice keeps failing.
