VINNIE’S BRIEF ONE-ON-NONE

• Vinnie lost Anna on Skype briefly
• Didn’t know what to do!!!
• Nice rant “as a woman”

SUGAR TRICKLING 

• When you participate in sports at a high level, you may need to just have a small amount of sugar in your mouth
  • Gives many people the energy they need to reach that 5th gear
• A listener had been NSNG 6mos-1year then she got into running half marathons
  • Now she is trying to go for a PR but feels like she is missing a 5th gear
• The longer you are NSNG, the more efficiently your body can run on fat
  • In the meantime, you can trickle some sugar
• Many athletes are used to GUZZLING sugar which is why it is harder to go really hard at first
  • Your muscles can’t take you all the way right from the beginning
    • To complement the use of fat by your body, use maybe one Gu an entire race or even less to get you to your 5th gear
      • Different for everyone but once you become more fat adapted, you will need even less 
• Zach Bitter, who just set another big record, trickles sugar to help him through
• UCAN works well for this
  • Vinnie is a fan of plain UCAN and mixes it with a TINY bit of MCT oil
  • Shouldn’t give you any inflammation
  • The product is derived from grain (corn), which is why Vinnie will not let UCAN be a sponsor
    • It is super-starch by the time it is UCAN
      • You never get a big liver-spike

NLIL

• The past year, Vinnie has put no life into living
