PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Squatty Potty Villa Cappelli POLITICAL CORRECTNESS The “Orient” vs “Oriental” Vinnie is not always the best at being PC Can’t say “black”, must say “African American”, but what if they are African English?

He didn’t know what was going on, who else was on the panel, etc. One dietician on the panel said eating more carbs (using them to exercise etc.) will burn fat She was PUSHING a high carb diet Vinnie likes the lady, but did not like what she was pushing Ever since the conference, she has been looking into high fat-low carb and has started to agree with it and ask questions! Once you know information and can’t un-know it, but still have to push what is wrong, THAT is cognitive dissonance Same thing happened to Kate Thompson when she was working for Weight Watchers She had to quit once she realized the truth was not what Weight Watchers was preaching POOR AMAZON REVIEW Although most reviews are good, there are some people who don’t like Vinnie or the book DP Brown Heard Vinnie on Adam Corolla show Said you will only get 8 minutes of info per episode, rest is bologna Listen to ANY Friday show with a Doctor to see how wrong that is Says book says nothing meaningful STEVE PARK Knows how to get lean Believes that eating high carb is the best way to sabotage your figure and your health Not only does it hurt your figure, but that is just poor nutrition Eventually, eating poorly will catch up with you Used to eat a lot of grains and sugars, now is low carb Developed a lactose intolerance

Everything is pointing towards sugar as one of the things that cancer loves SUGAR AND CANCER Sugar does not cancer, but cells that make tumors and such are fermentors This means they will gain energy from glucose fermentation Sugar feeds them This is a prime fuel, but not the only fuel Our red blood cells are constantly making a little lactate Tumor cells have defective mitochondria so they make lots of lactate WHAT CAUSES CANCER?

Karen used to be overweight, but has lost 70 lbs and kept it off! In ~2002, had a nutritionist tell her grains and sugar were hurting her DOES KNOWING ONE'S GENETICS HELP WITH DISEASE RISK? Knowing can be dangerous because then you have a big excuse not to try For example, if you know you have obesity genes in your family, you will just say you're predisposed and can't help it, and eat junk food! WHAT ARE SOME OF VINNIE'S FAVORITE THINGS TO EAT OUT? Vinnie and Serena eat at restaurants a lot now that Tallulah is at college Lunch is always out and now dinner is always out They go to nicer restaurants because they get better food Vinnie loves Marmalade Cafe because he gets good fish, or a bun-less hamburger Loves broccoli! Hipster-type gastro-pubs are really big but have NSNG options Goes to Chipotle, gets a bowl without rice and without corn Chicken/beef, beans, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, salsa, guac This is a good fast food option The Counter is also very good Made-to-order burgers are a good way to go (just don't get a bun!)

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Squatty Potty Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli POLITICAL CORRECTNESS Can't call a flight attendant a stewardess or a house keeper a maid Everyone is offended too easily! CHRIS KELLY Website nourishbalancethrive.com Similar story to Vinnie but is smarter and figured it out quicker Chris started falling apart (brain fog, fatigue, low libido) once he came to the US and started eating in the cafeteria at work Was riding bikes and racing a lot Was nearly a pro mountain biker (Category 1) Full-suspension bikes are fun! Doctors were not helping him so he had to find out things for himself GETTING SICK Chris had incredible fatigue -- not normal athlete fatigue in the afternoon he couldn't keep his eyes open, but at night being incredibly hyper Vinnie remembers this too would have to sleep at work Both made excuses for the reason they were feeling so tired and passed it off as normal what IS normal these days? Cortisol follows circadian rhythm, highest in morning, lowest at night -- therefore, a good and normal sleep schedule is necessary To fix one's circadian rhythm, one must realize what first affects it Exposure to sun, blue light, etc. DIET He was eating lots of sugar and grains Took him awhile to figure out that they were hurting them due to the fact that a high carb diet is preached to athletes Went cold turkey Bloating went away almost immediately, started to feel better Had some left over symptoms that resolved as he kept with it A DAY IN THE FOOD-LIFE OF CHRISTOPHER KELLY Doesn't insist on eggs for breakfast Eats leftovers for breakfast Eat what you have! Vinnie doesn't eat lunch often because he has big breakfasts and his body is using the fat Intense athletes have to be careful that they are eating enough even if they aren't hungry
