- Lonnie pays for his phone calls even though Vinnie owes him one for the meet up in LA he held

SQUATS
- Lonnie does too many squats, then quits for a month because he’s in pain, and then has to start all over again
- How can one prevent one’s hamstrings from hurting too much?
- Stabilize yourself and don’t start with a bar for squats
- In the gym, start with lunges, do light leg presses, let your legs get used to it
- Take your time — don’t feel any pressure to push yourself too far
HCG DIET
- There was a “diet” shot that made you less hungry and easier to gain muscle
- Gonadotropin was taken from pregnant mares, and body builders used to do it but we could female-like breasts
- HCG = human choieonic gonadotropin
- This is not safe or effectiveÂ
- Consumers should stay clear of weight loss products with this in it
THYROID MEDICATION
- You only take a little of porcine thyroid
- This way, your body will still produce hormones that it needs to
- Any hormone (steroid) that you take will make your body stop producing that hormone which is bad
WEIGHT LOSS AND FRUIT
- Fruit is not the best to lose weight
- By all means, eat it, eat berries, but fruit prevents weight loss if you have a poor metabolic system
- Bananas and pineapples are such straight sugar
- Vegetables are better!
- Just be careful
ANNA’S ALLERGY TEST
- Anna has been testing 180 foods to see what see is allergic to
- She had no dairy, and now has gone back to it
- she can now tell the difference between high and low quality dairy
BCAA
- Branch chain amino acid
- Breakdown of 4 different amino acids
- Vinnie has prior worked with it
- Building block in protein that helps your muscles build and recuperate faster
MG VITAMIN
- New magnesium vitamin made of 3 different types of magnesium
- Vinnie has been working on this for almost as long as the multivitamin
- This is more expensive, but Vinnie will work it out
CELIAC AWARENESS
