RAW FOOD, ULTRA EVENTS, AND WEIGHT LOSS

- Best piece of advice was to slow the hell down and do it in zone 2
- After college, CJ gained a good amount of weight
- Ended up 235+ lbs at 5’8″
- Could afford to lose 50 or more
- Ate like a teenager, wasn’t really exercising
- Ended up 235+ lbs at 5’8″
- He played a lot of golf when he started to lose weight
- the walking helps, but drinking beer and eating hot dogs doesn’t
- Exercise is a poor way to lose weight
- CJ tried out the raw food diet
- Vegan by nature
- Tried it to lose weight
- Didn’t cheat for about 6 weeks
- Realized how incredibly unsustainable it was
- Even in ultra events, there is so much sugar being consumed
- People still have fat around the middle

- He was a middle of the packer
- Would have 12 bottles of gatorade over a 6 hour bike ride
- STRAIGHT sugar
- The two met at Carolla’s guac competition
- CJ was almost a Type 2 diabetic before finding Vinnie
