Vinnie Tortorich and co-host Anna Vocino speak about cognitive dissonance and a low carb diet with guest Steve Park on this Monday edition of the Angriest Trainer podcast. 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? AMAZON WINNER OF THE WEEK Katie Miskell won (Trey will also win by association) She does lots of shopping through the banner ad and her shopping through Amazon has doubled She loves putting some coal in the fire Buy through the banner, submit what you bought, and win a shirt or a hat NSNG MEET UP The Beauchamps, some other listeners, Andy, Anna, Serena, Vinnie all worked hard to put it together Many people gave up their whole weekends Next year this will happen again, but probably for a small fee COGNITIVE DISSONANCE At Princeton, Vinnie’s seat on the panel was empty They got Vinnie to the panel late It wasn’t his fault — he always runs early! 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

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Villa Cappelli Squatty Potty Pure Vitamin Club VINNIE AFTER CANCER After leukemia (and during) people kept telling Vinnie he needed to do certain things Eat macro-diet and micro-diet, juice everything, have wheatgrass, etc or he would die He went to his hematologist and asked how much of it was the truth His incredibly intelligent hematologist simply said "Stay away from sugar!" 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?
