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!

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!

: Episode 1030 - Andy Schreiber joins Vinnie this Wednesday, and the two debunk the lie around a coffee chemical upon which California is attempting to pass a law. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club COFFEE CHEMICAL California is trying to add a "warning" label to coffee They want to say its a carcinogen Acrylamide is the chemical, and it occurs NATURALLY when the beans are roasted Coconut oil, salted fish, aloe vera ALL have this chemical This is something that happens naturally, so we really shouldn't worry! Coffee stores and companies are going to have to pay per person for this That being said, this does NOT affect Pure Coffee Club - we want to make that clear SERT suing companies such as Starbucks, Yum Yum Donuts, etc. Started from a study done in Sweden on rats Proved carcinogenic increased RISK when rats consumed ONE THOUSAND to TEN THOUSAND as much times acrylamide than anyone would consume from eating healthy foods and drinking coffee There is nothing wrong with the amount of acrylamide in coffee DON'T WORRY Coffee is good for you!

Shows how messed up the food and drink/health and fitness national industry is This is a witch hunt

: Episode 1028 - Gina Grad joins Vinnie today to discuss pressure from parents as far as dieting goes, and the short and long term effects of such pressures. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club PRESSURE FROM PARENTS Many kids feel pressure to diet from their parents This can lead to unhealthy eating behavior in kids Your kids can also then transmit this behavior to their kids Encourage your kids to eat healthy, not to diet You are setting an example to your kids with what you eat Set a positive relationship with food Reality TV is awful for kids Both for the kids who watch and the kids who are in it Part of why Vinnie doesn't call NSNG a diet is because diet can have this negative connotation Kids don't need another diet, they need a healthy lifestyle!
