Frank Vascellaro Weight Loss

Frank lost nearly 20 pounds in one month on the “Paleo Diet”. He put on some pounds over the summer and during the Minnesota State Fair. He first visited T.J. McNiff at the Firm to do something about it. He weighed he and measured him then challenged him to go into the cave.

McNiff uses the Paleo Diet himself, and you really do eat like a caveman, focusing on the foods we could have hunted and gathered thousands of years ago. Vascellaro also went to his doctor for baseline blood pressure and blood work and some advice. He said this diet has actually been around since the mid-1980s, and in general, it’s a healthy way of eating.

You don’t need to count calories, but if you follow It correctly, about 55 percent of your calories will come from lean protein, with the remainder from vegetables, fruit, and good fats. Frank started working out with McNiff and after months away from the gym, it was a struggle. Between the gym and home, he would work out five days a week for an hour, usually four days lifting weights and one day of cardio.

His workouts kept on getting better and better by the weeks. Amelia started noticing that his face was getting thinner and his jeans got looser which even convinced her to also join the cave.

He was down 2.5 inches around my hips, up 1.5 inches in his chest and down five full inches around my waist.

Frank Vascellaro and Amelia Santaniello House

As the weather gets colder, it will soon be the season for frozen pipes and when pipes freeze and start to leak, you can be dealing with a big mess. It happened to WCCO’s Frank Vascellaro and Amelia Santaniello. A pipe burst at their cabin, slowly leaking into the floors and walls for months before they discovered it. By then, mold and water damage totaled the cabin.

They learned the hard way, how to prevent something like this from happening. The worst of it happens when you’re away. Minnesotans who have a weekend cabin, or leave the state during winter, or just go away for a few days on vacation know that the destructive force of water is nothing to mess with. Water Damage contractor Mark Mason sees problems caused by water just about every day.
