Vitamins, Fat, and Body Image

Welcome to the Monday edition of The Angriest Trainer podcast with Vinnie Tortorich and co-host Anna Vocino. Today, Vinnie and Anna talk titanium dioxide, Whole Foods, juice and Coke, Vinnie's eating, and media portrayal of positive body image. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli Olive Oil TITANIUM DIOXIDE Nano-particles are very bad for you ANY sunscreen with TiO2 should not be applied to skin Use sunscreen with Zinc Oxide instead Titanium Dioxide is still found in 'natural' sunscreen, so still be careful Any vitamin with this in it should not be ingested: lack of TiO2 is part of what makes PVC vitamins so great WHOLE FOODS Vinnie only shops at Whole Foods for a specific coffee Serena went to the ready made food section-- every single pre-pepared dish had sugar in it They at least try to be clear about where there products are from, etc etc Vinnie believes Whole Foods is just an expensive scam although Anna quite likes them JUICE ON A PLANE Flight attendant would let every passenger know that if they ordered juice, they were just drinking juice He was overly judgmental about it, but the sentiment is there Coke is bad too, but a different kind of bad Less sugar content but due to chemicals it's still horrible for your liver People are too easily offended VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY People spend too much time inside, in front of computers Rickets is actually appearing again Vitamin D is found in juice, but it doesn't compensate for the amount of sugar in these drinks (PVC can help with vitamin d deficiency) WHY VINNIE HASN'T HAD LUNCH Vinnie hasn't had time to have lunch today due to clients, vermin, etc. He ate on this day: (8am) Coffee, 2 whole eggs, table spoon of coconut oil Diets high in fat can hold you longer Not great to end the day with a giant meal BODY IMAGE Fear for women in high fat foods due to the media Serena who is so skinny occasionally calls herself fat; bad for the next generation When you hear it enough, you start to believe it Beauty pageants promote starving oneself, low fat diets, etc. Double edge sword: you need to lose weight to get healthier, but you're also okay how you are Fine line between accepting oneself and accepting being fat Some models are too thin that they look like they're dying Tweet us: how does the media affect your body image?
