: Episode 1177 – Listener and boxer Glenn Barras joins Vinnie from Louisiana to talk about how a low-carb diet allowed Glenn to lose weight and feel better, and the fact that age is just a number for athletes like Glenn and Vinnie.
AGE IS JUST A NUMBER
- From the Baton Rouge area
- Vinnie could tell by his accent and phone number
- Former Air Force guy
- 54 years old and a boxer!
- Boxing is all adrenaline
- Age is largely but a number
- Old does not mean you shouldn’t keep doing things like the sports you love
- Part of why Glenn still does it is because he still can!
- He has had several consults with Vinnie
- Glenn wants to stay active and inspire others to stay active
- Keep the weight off and what you can do is pretty limitless
- Many of Vinnie’s high school and college classmates gained TONS of weight
- This partly made him exercise more because he didn’t want this for him
- Glenn had a similar experience
- Gained a lot of weight when he stopped playing rugby
- Had trouble reaching down to tie his shoes and he hated it
- Did the ‘good’ low fat thing and exercise and still gained weight
- Wasn’t eating fat, but his trigs were still up – this did not make sense to him
- The “conventional wisdom” did not work — switched over to Low Carb
- Found NSNG because he was researching
- Could feel that the low fat wasn’t working and was wrong
- Knew he had to get off the sugar
- Low carb/NSNG revolutionized Glenn’s life
- Glenn (and Vinnie) had to battle the Southern culture that says they ‘live to eat’
