@VinnieTortorich I've never heard of Jack Russell Boots.

@hurricanenita @TheExtremeMusi1 How can you be sure you are you? This is the internet, afterall, where everything is either fake or wrong.

@TheExtremeMusi1 That’s not me!

He warned the FDA about trans fats for 60 years. Then he sued them at 98. In 1957, Dr. Fred Kummerow published a paper in Science linking trans fats to heart disease. He found them in the arteries of every heart attack victim he studied. The food industry said trans fats were safer than butter. Kummerow's data said the opposite. Trans fats were in everything. Margarine, shortening, every processed food on the shelf. In 1968, he urged the American Heart Association to act. They ignored him. For decades, the AHA kept telling Americans to replace butter with margarine. Meanwhile Kummerow kept publishing. Trans fats raise LDL, lower HDL, and trigger inflammation in artery walls. He also discovered that oxidized cholesterol — not regular cholesterol — drives plaque buildup. The evidence was overwhelming. Nobody wanted to hear it. In 2009, at age 94, he filed a citizen petition demanding the FDA ban trans fats. The law required a response within 180 days. The FDA waited four years. So in 2013, at 98 years old, Fred Kummerow sued the FDA. In 2015, the FDA finally ruled trans fats were not safe and banned them from the food supply. The CDC estimates the ban prevents 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths every year. He spent 60 years proving they were killing us. They ignored him until he took them to court. He was 100 years old when he won. Question everything. #NSNG #NoSugarNoGrains #MetabolicHealth #FollowTheMoney

Let me tell you how the headlines work. 2019: "Eggs LOWER your diabetes risk by 40%!" 2020: "Eggs INCREASE your diabetes risk by 60%!" So which is it? Neither. Because both headlines are lying to you. That 60% number came from an observational study out of China. Not a controlled trial. Not a clinical experiment. An observational study — the same kind of junk science that told you butter was killing you and margarine was saving your life. You know what they never control for? What you eat WITH the egg. The toast. The orange juice. The hash browns. The cereal on the side. But sure, blame the egg. One egg gives you 6 grams of high-quality protein, 5 grams of healthy fat, essential amino acids, and choline — which your brain literally needs to function. Your body absorbs all of it. Now compare that to your "healthy" cereal breakfast. A bowl of sugar, an insulin spike, and you're starving again in two hours. Three eggs cooked in butter? 18 grams of protein, 15 grams of healthy fat, trace carbs, and you're full until lunch. No crash. No cravings. Stop reading headlines. Start reading ingredients. No sugar. No grains. Eat real food. Stay motivated. 🍳 #NSNG #NoSugarNoGrains #VinnieTortorich #Eggs #RealFood #EatRealFood #StayMotivated

This is what drives me crazy, folks. For decades they told you to eat less. Count your calories. Smaller portions. Less Fat. More willpower. And when that didn't work, they sold you a drug. Meanwhile, researchers at the NIH and the University of Bristol found that people eating real, unprocessed food ate 57% MORE food by weight and still consumed 330 fewer calories a day. A Nature Medicine trial showed people on minimally processed diets lost twice as much weight without eating less. Nobody was counting anything. Nobody was hungry. They just ate real food and their bodies figured it out. Because your body has built-in nutritional intelligence. It knows when it's getting what it needs. Feed it real food, it stops when it's satisfied. Feed it ultra-processed junk, it keeps chasing nutrients that aren't there. That's not a willpower problem. That's a food problem. Billions of dollars on Ozempic. The answer was eggs and steak the whole time. No sugar. No grains. Stay motivated. 🍳 #NSNG #NoSugarNoGrains #VinnieTortorich #EatRealFood #RealFood #StayMotivated

@HustleBitch_ I think he was telling someone to steal second base.

🚨 WATCH HIS HANDS CLOSELY 🚨 The moment Kash Patel finishes reading the papers, his entire demeanor shifts instantly. Then he makes two secret hand signals to someone off-camera. Why would the FBI Director need to do that?

Don't believe the LIES about cholesterol! Your body needs cholesterol for hormones, brain health, and cell repair. The real enemy: -Sugar -Ultra-processed food -Seed oils Get rid of those and watch your health return! MAHA

RFK Jr learned about the nutritional benefits of meat--this is what happened. He eats almost entirely carnivore himself and says he's never felt better.

😂. Maybe not everybody likes the new pyramid.

It is about time our upside-down food pyramid was turned rightside-up.

Great improvement over the previous pyramid

Get in amazing shape in 2026: 1. Creatine & collagen 2. Salt & electrolytes 3. 7+ hours of sleep 4. 10,000 steps per day 5. 90% whole food diet 6. Weightlifting 4x/week 7. 50g of protein each meal This is your bulletproof blueprint. Follow it.

Happy to announce I now have #podcast episodes available. Stick me in your ears and take me to the gym. davethekayaker.com/podcast-episod…

People don’t lose energy, they lose purpose. Find a reason to wake up, and your mind stops fighting you. Half of “mental health” is having something worth getting out of bed for.
