Diabesity

: Episode 618 – Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino host this Monday edition of the Celebrity Fitness Trainer podcast where they discuss Starbucks, “yes, but”ers, and weight loss surgery and diabesity.

STARBUCKS STORY

• Woman buys muffin, takes off the holder cupcake-paper part, puts it back in bakery bag
• Takes outside of bag and begins to crush muffin on the inside
• Next, she would drink some frappucino and shake some muffin crumbs into her mouth to have both the drink and the food at the same time
• The whole family was morbidly obese

“YES, BUT…”

• People will ask for advice then negate the advice given
• Some people see this as a game
• Vinnie and Anna meet many yes butters
• If you are asking for advice, accept graciously even if you don’t implement the advice
• Woman was told that she should go off of dairy by
  • Going through her grieving of going off sugars, grains, and dairy
    • If you grieve as much as she did, it must be an addiction
• Also, be responsible enough to make your own decisions and do your own research
• Woman says Anna’s book is “feeding lies” because this woman can’t eat dairy and Anna’s book has dairy in recipes therefore this woman will not be “Eating Happy”

DIABESITY

• Study found that diabetics, even those who are slightly obese, can benefit from weight loss surgery
  • Complete crap
  • This “study” was printed by the Associated Press and promoted by American Diabetes Association, International Diabetes Federation, and 43 other groups, in the Diabetes Journal
• It’s your BRAIN that has the problem so cutting your stomach out is ridiculous
  • Problems do not go away because you have to teach your brain what it wants and you need to learn to control your hormones
    • For diabetics this is even more complicated and involves seeing a doctor and taking prescribed drugs and insulin etc.
    • Diabetes cannot be “cured” by weight loss surgery
