SPENCER RUSSELL

• Found Vinnie via the Carolla effect
• Vinnie reinforced the healthy eating Spencer thought he should be following
• Found Vinnie on Twitter and started asking questions
• Down about 30 lbs since finding Vinnie 
  • Is currently 6'3", 235 at age 28 
    • He was up to 265 by eating terribly 
      • Has a sweet tooth and couldn't stay away from carbs prior to NSNG 
        • Constant snacking on things like granola bars, tons of grains for all three meals 
          • Thought granola was "heart healthy" and such 
• He feels SO much better on NSNG, weight and overall health
• People are asking Spencer about his weight loss journey

FIELDING QUESTIONS

• Many folks ask Spencer about how he lost this weight
• The knowledgeable people about diet do understand the perks of NSNG
• Others get confused when he says he doesn't eat potatoes or whole grains
• He has had people argue with him about the health benefits of the above
• Tough to handle when people won't except the hard evidence
• Naysayers are best to be left alone -- you cannot please or convince everyone
  • Those who don't listen can't be convinced easily 
• People will always insist it is heavy exercise
  • Vinnie hardly ever does anything to keep his muscles showing (like ab work)
    • He does nothing special to be lean and in shape
  • If you eat properly, veggies, meats, oils, you will look like the "animal" we were meant to be
