Episode 639 - Vinnie and Andy Schreiber clear up the very prevalent confusion, as seen on Twitter, around pre & post-workout nutrition. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club VINNIE'S SHOULDER Vinnie had his Ream and Run surgery by Dr. Matsen just about a year ago He was on a Friday show Literally changed Vinnie's life He had prior been walking around like a cripple and now has near full range of motion! Wasn't able to ride his bike for the last couple of years before his surgery Now, he can ride again, slow and steady At the moment, he can ride like 2 hours without pain instead of 30 minutes PRE-WORKOUT NUTRITION You don't need a powder or potion That is ALL Bro Science If you are NSNG and your body knows how to use ketones and fat, you may not need to eat before! For example, this morning Vinnie had 2 eggs with 3 yolks with some MCT oil, full fat cream in his espresso, then rode 4 hours later without re-fueling Vinnie grabbed one tiny piece of beef jerky (NSNG jerky) as he walked out the door POST-WORKOUT NUTRITION When Vinnie got off his bike, he had some salami and some hard cheese (Romano) and water Then he went to the shooting range You don't need glutamine or anything like that "Recovery Drinks" are BS Might as well not have worked out and had a candy bar instead

: Episode 638 - Anna and Vinnie take time debunking Sanjay Gupta, CNN's medical experts. They go through one of his 2 minute health videos in detail and show how it is full of contradictions, misleading imagery, and confusing statements. It's no wonder that Americans are so confused about what is healthy and what is not. #circle #zero PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli Squatty Potty WHO IS SANJAY GUPTA? Neurosurgeon and reporter Wanted to be Surgeon General (could be, one day [hopefully not]) Often on CNN for health related stuff Constantly contradicts himself Reads off of teleprompter People who write for him have no idea what they're talking about Try to sell "Standard American Diet" = SAD His videos lend themselves to allow Vinnie to begin debunking Sanjay Gupta DEBUNKING SANJAY GUPTA He is saying that some carbs are healthy and some are unhealthy BUT then he says they ALL DO THE SAME THING So how are some healthy and some unhealthy if they turn out the same in your body? This is why the American people are so confused In 42 seconds, he has talked in a complete circle He says fruits, vegetables, candy, honey (simple carbs) are processed quickly which is bad because it turns into sugar quickly He just called fruit good now he's saying it is bad? How can vegetables be grouped with candy? :52 seconds He says other carbs give you longer sustained energy from complex carbs -- potatoes, beans, BREAD Potatoes in REALITY are very sugary and cause glycogen load / glucose spike He is claiming they are really good He says whole grains are good Wait, but popcorn is a grain and he just said it was bad? #CIRCLE He links Watermelon and Popcorn in the video In reality, Watermelon has a VERY LOW glycemic index because of water content, and now he has said popcorn is BAD but grains (which popcorn is) are good? These two things are incomparable Only thing Vinnie and Sanjay agree upon is that sugar not used for energy (for most people, most of it) turns into fat! 1:52 of a 2:09 minute video is the first time Sanjay speaks the truth after he has confused and misguided everyone First time we hear fat in the video He says a double cheeseburger is bad although he just said grains are good The general public thinks the meat and cheese is bad, so is Sanjay implying that the meat and cheese is bad or the grain (which he previously said was good) is bad In reality, the only healthy part is the meet and cheese and lettuce and tomato! He links fat to a chicken wing as if no good fats exist SO confusing and deliberately misleading

A few minutes after you eat sugar and grains, you want to eat again Ex: after Chinese food, you're ready to eat again in 20 minutes It takes 3 hours for the content of your stomach to empty But when you eat carbs you're hungry within an hour This is because of your hormones kicking in Grelin, and leptin Listen to Jason Fung or Rosedale podcasts to hear more about this If you are eating sugar and grains, your switches will become dull, and you will feel the need to constantly graze Instead of having 3 meals a day you're supposed to have, you're having 6 meals a day Not sensible and does NOT work for weight loss because your body is never burning fat -- doesn't use stored fat, actually will just store that extra sugar/insulin as a long chain triglyceride/fat
