Welcome to the Wednesday edition of the Angriest Trainer podcast, where Vinnie Tortorich and cohost Andy Schreiber will today discuss what’s to come with PVC and crazy diets that just don’t work.

VIDEOS

  • Andy and Vinnie have been shooting some short videos
    • Will be released on youtube and on the PVC website
  • 7 or 8 episodes already recorded
    • Will be released soon
    • 2 videos up already

VITAMINS

  • In outtakes, Vinnie ended up taking around 5 vitamins
    • He has a “vitamin high”
  • The vitamin A may cause the water to turn a little orange when dissolved
  • Niacin flush causes more blood to flow through capillaries, causing tingling and redness

DIET ‘PROGRAMS’

  • Woman talking about signing up to receive ‘healthy’ packaged meals
    • 1200 calories a day! — almost starvation
  • This kind of dieting causes your body to cling on to calories when you have more than that 1200 calories
  • Also doesn’t make sense because people are different sizes
  • Encouraged the eating of grains and lean fats (NO!)
  • Vinnie has also heard of a “Sludge Diet”
    • Supposed to eat super fatty food to “sludge” other fat out of your liver
    • “Prayer Diet”
    • “Chocolate Diet”
      • Literally, you eat a lot of chocolate
    • “Cabbage Soup Diet”
    • “Lemon, Cayenne, Tea Diet”
    • None of these work because you are starving your body
