This is ridiculous and shameful. The ideas have been debunked again and again. This sort of guidance is killing people. Fat Doc focuses a bit on amputations from diabetes, and this is why things escalate to that point. Type 2 CAN be reversed, but not by eating a ton of crap and processed food and sugar.

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/05/quarantine-questions-episode-1583 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club QUARANTINE QUESTIONS Not a big difference between fresh and frozen veggies for all intents and purposes. Generally, the fresh will taste better. If you're buying fresh, just wash it right away or don't touch it for a few days! Frozen veg, however, is a good option if you're concerned. You're not lacking nutrients. If you bake bread, it may be a bit better than store-bought, but it will still cause inflammation and it's still a grain! FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

Originally, before this way of eating in 2016, he was north of 270 lbs at 5'11". Now, he's in his mid-180s, and 42 years old. He's lost almost 100 lbs! He fluctuates a few pounds but doesn't worry about it. This could be water weight and sometimes eating a bit more food than other times. He also travels a lot which can affect his sleep schedule. Vinnie finds this fairly common among folks who travel so much. He also doesn't see a big change in how clothes fit during this time. Everyone can fluctuate 3-5 lbs on any given day. This is why Vinnie says throw the scale away. Stuart has benefitted from the phone consults. Vinnie can help you fine-tune your way of eating to benefit you most. Stuart is a contractor and has stayed active throughout his life. He's always been quite strong, but wasn't really in shape before this. Now he's running and found success in being in Zone 2. He thinks he holds on to a bit more weight when he's getting out and about less and eating more veggies as opposed to meat. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

Scott talks about the human body moving from a resting state to a flight or fight mode–how can we optimize the body during this time? These skills you can use in any environment, like at the DMV when you are stressed. It's more profound than a slight adaptation of human physiology. Some of the things Scott works on and works with focus on interrupting the cycle of fear in both the cognitive and the visceral/adrenal realm.

Planning Life into Living & More - Episode 1579

F Bomb Crowd Cow PLANNING LIFE INTO LIVING Don't try to eat around things when you're doing life into living. Eat real, quality ice cream, for example. Plan your life into living so you don't fall off of the wagon for too long. Make sure you know it's just one treat, or one day, then move right along. Don't make excuses to get right back to eating right. Not planning ahead is how you end up feeling particularly horrible the next day physically. This happened to Anna recently–she ended up eating crap as a result and feeling bad. TWITTER QUESTIONS someone asked about how to avoid eating too much. When you first start eating this way, Vinnie encourages people to overeat fat if you're feeling hungry. Make some bacon, have a spoonful of coconut oil (but your stomach might not be thrilled). If you are doing this right, after some time you should not feel hungry after you've had an appropriate amount of food. Hunger pangs are a sign that there's still some sugar or grains in your diet.

He was legally deaf as a child. After two corrective surgeries, he gained his hearing, though it's not completely perfect. He had to overcome speaking issues as a result. The nuns and other students really goofed on Vinnie because of his hearing and speech impediment. He worked hard to overcome this adversity. This is something he's gone through life with. Teachers told Gina's parents she was deaf after she 'failed' a hearing test, really she was just bored and stopped participating.

Demonizing Saturated Fat with Dr. Paul Mason - Episode 1576
: Episode 1576 - Dr. Paul Mason joins Vinnie on this Friday show, and the two talk the attempted silencing of Gary Fettke, the scientific establishment, wrongly demonizing saturated fat, lectin and Parkinson's disease, exercise efficiency and more! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/05/demonizing-saturated-fat-paul-mason-episode-1576 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Evamor Water Villa Cappelli F Bomb Crowd Cow DR. PAUL MASON He hails from Sydney, Australia. Gary Fettke and he are good friends. The way politicians and the establishment came after Gary & others like him without science backing them should cause people to lose faith in establishment doctors. He is very passionate about giving nutrition advice based on sound science. Anecdotally, he epidemiologically notices the link between lectin & diseases such as Parkinson's. Lectin is found in higher quantities in grains and legumes. Dr. Mason is wary of vegetarian and vegan diets as a result. The actual science is that when people are properly fat adapted, they are more efficient athletes. They'll actually use less oxygen. DEMONIZING SATURATED FAT The elephant in the room is saturated fat–it's almost an ideology surrounding how we treat and wrongly hate saturated fat. There have been at least three comprehensive studies that show that saturated fat is not the demon. These studies had delays in publishing. People went into these studies hoping to prove themselves right. That saturated fat wasn't bad was disappointing news to many scientists/doctors/etc. Dr. Mason recognizes that when findings contradict the establishment, they're largely buried. Faith that we have in the scientific process, as a result, may not be so warranted. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now! We need people to buy and review for it to stay at the top of iTunes pages.
