(1:15) Keto is shifting your body to fat-burning and there are so many benefits to it; Eric gives an example. (8:00) Eating a keto diet doesn't have to be expensive; there are ways to find deals on meat purchases. Many people find that they end up eating less food because they are more satisfied. Vinnie chats about his interest in building lean muscle mass when he was younger and noticed that bodybuilders would get "cut" by eating protein and fat, not carbs. (15:30) Vinnie then asks Eric what nutrition training was like when he was in medical school and how it's progressed. (17:00) Both men agree that Dr. Stephen Phinney (of Virta Health) has been a huge influence on what they know about a ketogenic way of eating. The conversation turns to fat as fuel for long distances and some of the current successful athletes doing it. (21:30) Even though there are many examples of these athletes, there is still so much doubt that it's even "possible". Vinnie asks Eric why there are so many dietitians and other health and science professionals resistant to doing further studies and promoting keto as a solution. (30:50) NIH is still stuck on CICO (calories in, calories out), even though it's been proven it doesn't work and is not sustainable. Eric mentions that funding is a big issue. Ending carb confusion is the goal. Vinnie and Eric agree that there is no diabetes in a world without carbs. (35:15) They then talk about sugar addiction needs to be looked at seriously.

Vinnie and Kim also discuss that there shouldn't be fat shaming; however, normalizing or glorifying morbid obesity isn't a good message either, because it ignores health issues.

(2:22) Mostly Italian, but also an eighth Cuban, and she lives in NYC. People can still rag on Italians. Vinnie shares a little background from his side of the family that surprised him. Lisa found Vinnie through listening to Adam Carolla.

Both of her parents checked out when she was young. (18:00) Her dad left when she was very young and both parents were messed up and narcissistic. She always had to help her parents, not the other way around. Lisa learned from a young age how to be self-sufficient.

(19:00) She did a wide range of jobs, including as a clown, phone sex employee, and delivery driver, to name a few. She now is a professional writer.

(39:00) PROTECTION THAT KILLS Lisa is now NSNG®; she gives a little more story of how she found Vinnie. (48:48) She has learned how to no longer use food for emotional protection. She is comfortable with herself, weight is no longer her blanket. The NSNG® Facebook group has been a great additional support for her. Now, Lisa has lost a good amount of weight and is still progressing. (51:00) Vinnie makes the point that the additional weight is protection that kills. (52:00) A lot of people have sabotaged their good progress as a result of abuse. (53:53) Self-sabotaging is pretty common but once you overcome it will feel so much better! NSNG® has been part of a larger process of working on herself in various ways and she has come far! (57:10) Don't be afraid to make a change. Easier said than done, but do it one day at a time.
