Overcoming Food Pyramid Indoctrination - Episode 1652 Aug 22, 2020

Show notes

: Episode 1652 - On this Saturday show, Katelyn Goodwin joins Vinnie and the two talk overcoming food pyramid indoctrination, vegan propaganda, silly documentaries, and more! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/08/overcoming-food-pyramid-indoctrination-episode-1652 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods KATELYN'S STORY Katelyn found Vinnie through his book. She found it on Amazon while looking for fitness and health books. At first, she didn't take it all in because she thought it was crazy. She struggled to lose the last 10 to 15 lbs in her late 20s. Katelyn had tried vegetarianism and other similar diets. Vegan propaganda is so strong. She switched to almond milk, vegan butter and the like. The weight never really came off. She's a counselor in Department of Corrections in Rhode Island. FOOD PYRAMID INDOCTRINATION The food pyramid and what we're taught as kids had really gripped her. She had brain fog, lethargy, was often sore, and had other symptoms. It turned out, she had a gluten allergy. After she cut out gluten, her symptoms went away and she rediscovered Vinnie. Then, she cut out sugar and grains and weaned herself off of artificial sweeteners and it started to make sense. It was difficult to buy it because she was so convinced from a young age that fat would make her fat. Once you start cooking real food, you don't want the bread –– it no longer is "I can't live without it." It's "I don't want to live with it." FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

Therapeutic Ketogenic Diets with Joy Kiddie, LCHF RD - Episode 1651 Aug 21, 2020

Show notes

: Episode 1651 - On this Friday show, Joy Kiddie, the LCHF Registered Dietician, joins Vinnie to talk finding the benefits of low carb, her own journey with weight loss, therapeutic ketogenic diets, and more! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/08/therapeutic-ketogenic-diets-joy-kiddie-episode-1651 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Evamor Water Villa Cappelli Crowd Cow JOY KIDDIE Joy has a Bachelor and Masters degree in Human Nutrition and with all her studies, she learned absolutely nothing about low carb diets! Her post-graduate degree was in mental health nutrition, where she published a ground-breaking study about diet and ADHD in children. While it wasn't the case at the time, one of the scientists she researched with is now also low carb. Years later (about 5 years ago) Joy began to learn about the health benefits of LCHF diets and therapeutic ketogenic diets. While she's in Canada, Canada's dietary guidelines are based on the same research as the US dietary guidelines/ 5 years ago, a retired physician friend came to talk to her about putting a family member on a low carb diet –– and discussions with this friend led her to a blog written by Jason Fung. She and Jason connected, and she learned about his approach to LCHF and keto diets, and their benefits. Joy used a LCHF and keto diet to lose 55 pounds and to put her own very high blood pressure type 2 diabetes and other health conditions into remission. She tracked her own progress as she would a patient's and you can read about her journey here: https://www.lchf-rd.com/a-dietitians-journey/ When she was about ½ way through her own weight loss, she was told she was too fat to counsel others as a dietician. At that point she had been studying the literature about LCHF diets and using them successfully with her clients for 3 years. Joy believes that what makes her competent to counsel others, despite not having completed her own weight loss yet was the science that LCHF and keto diets are based on, not her own body weight. Joy has maintained her weight loss for the last year and a half and teaches others how LCHF is easily sustainable, eating real, whole food. Here's Joy's website: https://www.lchf-rd.com/ THERAPEUTIC KETOGENIC DIETS It took Joy some time to reconcile what she had learned about saturated fats, heart disease, etc., with all of the amazing science she was reading about in the scientific literature. She uses ketogenic diets to treat seizure disorders, as an adjunct treatment for glioblastoma as well as for putting type 2 diabetes into remission. While her very first approach was very high fat and moderate protein, she now uses the full range of low carb diet approaches. She utilizes different low carb diets for different reasons, with different people. She believes there is no one-sized-fits-all low carb or keto diet. Diets for those with epilepsy, for example, will need a different approach than someone doing low carb power lifting, or seeking weight loss. Joy makes sure to take each individual circumstance into account in her work. She also supports natural periods of intermittent fasting (IF) that can be built into people's plans.

"Keto-Friendly" Products & WAP - Episode 1649 Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

: Episode 1649 - On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk WAP, the women's lib movement, "keto-friendly" products, Twitter & Eat Happy questions, baking sweets and putting life into living, and more! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/08/keto-friendly-products-wap-episode-1649 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Evamor Water Villa Cappelli Crowd Cow WAP Vinnie and Anna talk about the song WAP: Wet Ass Pussy. The song seems to glamorize a lot of the same things that porn sometimes does. Of course, it is meant to be a women empowerment song. How is this reconciled with the women's lib movement of the 70s? Anna actually met Gloria Steinem! It's funny thinking of what a clean version of this song would entail. Of course, the sexual revolution was an important thing in American culture. The song, however, seems to use quite a lot of hyperbole. Make sure your sex is what you enjoy! Don't abide but what society or songs are telling you sex should be. This episode brought to you by old people breaking down a rap song! "KETO-FRIENDLY" PRODUCTS Most "keto-friendly" foods n' things out there are BS. First, they have hidden sugars in them. Your liver doesn't know the difference! Also, most are chemical sh*tstorms! Your stomach will not be happy if you've been eating no sugar no grains. Many of these "foods" like waffles are nearly NEVER concerned without other sugars or carbs. AVOID THESE PRODUCTS! Eat real foods! FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

Unhealthy Vegetarianism - Episode 1648 Aug 16, 2020

Show notes

: Episode 1648 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie talk young talent, speech impediments, unhealthy vegetarianism, the ills of factory farming, Michael Greger and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/08/unhealthy-vegetarianism-episode-1648 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods UNHEALTHY VEGETARIANISM Gina Grad was a vegetarian for awhile. However, she gained a ton of weight and felt less healthy. She quit it because she knew she had to be healthier. One of her friends is a fan of Greger. However, if you look at Greger, he does not look healthy. He's in his mid 40s and looks considerably older. However, we can all agree that factory farming is bad. But, for some this is the only way to eat healthy meat. To the extent possible, support local and small farms. Try to buy humanely raised meat if possible. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

Being Your True Self with JP Sears - Episode 1646 Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

: Episode 1646 - On this Friday show, JP Sears joins Vinnie to talk his comedic work, life coaching, being your true self, not selling yourself out, finding the meaning in success and more! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/08/being-your-true-self-jp-sears-episode-1646 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Evamor Water Villa Cappelli Crowd Cow JP SEARS You likely have seen some of his viral videos parodying various characters. Check out his YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/AwakenWithJP He used comedy to shine the light on egotistical nature in people like vegans, yoga teachers, and himself. Clowning around on hypocrisy in people is one of his fortes. He's also a life coach! Here's his website: https://awakenwithjp.com/ He also has a podcast and authorship! BEING YOUR TRUE SELF His top three values: congruency, transparency and realness. However you are, be that. Vinnie has always cared about these values, too. Part of this he demonstrates by only taking on sponsors whose products he would actually use. This all started when he became a trainer in LA – the opportunity to sell yourself out appeared early on. JP tried college, but realized that it wasn't for him. He didn't care and didn't want to pretend to care. He followed that feeling inside of himself and he's so glad he did now. For awhile, though, he felt like an idiot and had to trust himself. Life tests us. Trust your gut. Betraying yourself is sometimes easier in the present but is never worth it in the long term. Pain and struggle is important to really cherish success. Meaning is generated through pain. Robbing people of discomfort only does them a disservice. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

If you think it's sustainable, it simply isn't. When the car runs out of gas, you can't keep running it on a deficit – you need to add more gas to the tank. The laws of thermodynamics say once you burn your energy, you need to take more in. You will bonk – your brain shuts down your body. Your brain isn't used to running on fat, it won't just switch over to those stores. People can white-knuckle CICO for awhile, but eventually, it just doesn't work. Biggest Loser shows a good example of how untenable this is. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now! We need people to buy and review for it to stay at the top of iTunes pages.
