Don't worry about looking "lame" because you're not running super fast or lifting incredibly quickly in order to stay in Zone 2 Gotta get over that pretty quickly

Where Does Fat Go? - Episode 1058 May 13, 2018

Show notes

: Episode 1058 - Gina Grad joins Vinnie for this episode of Vinnie's Sunday School, and the two answer the oft-asked question "where does fat go"? The answer: you breathe it out! PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Pure Coffee Club WHERE DOES FAT GO You actually lose fat through respiration Fat is oxidized and leaves your body But, it isn't as easy as breathing heavily a lot! You DO NOT sweat fat away This is why exercise is not a good way to lose weight When you work out, you DO NOT need carbs and sugars Gatorades, etc. Fat is converted to energy!

RANGAN CHATTERJEE Out of med school, he was so excited to help people Attended University of Edinburgh Medical School However, he felt in medicine he was too focused Became a generalist, because he wanted to see how all parts of the body worked together Frustrated that most of his day was filling out prescriptions and handing out pills This didn't even help most of his patients! His son, as a baby, nearly died from Vitamin D deficiency He thought, "how did this happen to my son, and how did I, a doctor, know nothing about it?" Many babies have this deficiency, and doctors don't talk about it relatively often This started his mission to figure out how to permanently fix his son He ended up reading so much info that could help others, too! He finally understood the root causes of conditions Found himself with a TV show called Doctor In The House He has helped people reverse panic attacks, type 2 Diabetes, fibromyalgia, etc. A woman went from in the type 2 Diabetic range to normal in around a month period She also lost a good amount of weight in the process He did this by cutting out sugars and grains and processed foods Many of these diseases come from inflammation He didn't want the fights on TV, but he also wanted to help as many people as possible Some tried to sway him from his ultra-successful approach People got scared from the other (wrong) sources even though his results were amazing Social media is fortunately allowing for the rapid exchange of info, so more people are learning about the good Main factors for our health - Four pillars: Sleep more Move more Relax more And we need to cut out these junk, processed foods! Just released a new book, How to Make a Disease Disappear Already a bestseller, and one of Vinnie's must-reads Support the Fat Documentary here!
