“DIET TRICKERY”

  • Vinnie and Anna start off the show with a bit of commentary on some of the bro-science that is all over the internet. (3:30)
    • This leads to some examples of questions he gets on Twitter about things like intermittent fasting (“IF”). (7:35)
    • Vinnie shares his thoughts on intermittent fasting and that it is not meant to be “diet trickery”.
    • Fasting used with medical guidance and with attention to autophagy is good; however, “diet trickery” can be bad.
  • Anna mentions that it’s often thought adding IF will be better; as a result, the idea becomes “dieting more”, which is still stuck in a diet mentality. (15:30)

HELP WITH WEIGHT LIFTING

  • Vinnie and Anna then switch to talking about lifting weights. (16:30)
    • Exercise is the fountain of youth but is necessary to take things to the next level. 
    • They chat a bit about the misconception of “banking calories”.
    • You can magnify the effects of weight loss through exercise. (21:50)
  • Vinnie explains if there is a benefit of aerobic vs. anaerobic exercises. (23:27)
  • They also talk about Dr. Ben Bocchicchio, Fred Hahn, and body building. (27:02)
  • Vinnie gives his update on his aerobic activity goals. (33:50)
  • They wrap the show with some celebrity chat, “Karens”, show ideas, movie trivia, recipes, and more. (36:10)
