Happy Mother's Day from Vinnie & Anna...shout outs to Bill Meadows and Blogger Jessica Gottlieb. Vinnie gets into his most comprehensive discussion of which grains we can and can't eat for weight loss, plus a great discussion about Gary Taubes (Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It) and Peter Attia. Side boob also makes a cameo.

Vinnie goes undercover to get the skinny on bottled water. While at a wedding, he discusses high-end water with an inside source. He found out a few surprises about the water industry through the discussion. They go over the purification process, and recommend the "best bet" when it comes to drinking water. The conversation then turns to the different types of vodka. Vinnie and Anna discuss getting in shape for the wedding, including the psychology some women have of losing weight fast to fit into a particular dress. They talk about fad diets setting up failure, and why weight packs on during motherhood. As Vinnie says, "Calorie in, calorie out" diets rarely work long term (such as Subway diet pitchman Jared who put back on weight). Vinnie finally tells us which is better for losing weight: diet or exercise. They discuss how to reverse the middle-age spread through eating well and various ways to work out. And they talk about cardio, yoga and Pilates benefits. Plus, Vinnie and Anna warn folks of the multi-level marketing schemes from Monavie. Vinnie tells the story of when he finally had enough with all of the people selling pyramid scheme style products. He fires back at their script when they claim the product works at a "cellular" level. Anna gives her secret recipe for salad dressing. As the show wraps up, they discuss sleep and what happens when we lack sleep.

Vinnie eulogizes George Lindsay and TV of yesteryear, calls out Kim Kardashian as a porn star in the process. Do you look like your Starbucks drink? Why you can't polish the turd that is the Sun Tan Mom. Vinnie and Anna talk about what they eat on a day-to-day basis, and openly invite Jackie Warner to come on the show to defend her crash diet plan.
