Decide What’s Important
- Teresa is still getting to know Vinnie and learning the conch shell’s history; she has questions. (3:00)
- She asks about his genetics and his brothers.
- Vinnie shares what happened that made him pay closer attention to his health. (16:30)
- Gaining weight can happen so slowly, like a frog in boiling water.
- When Vinnie realized how overweight he had gotten, he decided to “end it right here.”
The Carb-loading Myth
- He discusses carb loading and what he learned. (27:00)
- Vinnie realized the bad advice that had been given about nutrition and weight loss over the years.
- The trend of “carb loading” came from the book “Eat to Win.” (32:30)
- It emphasized the high-carb, low-fat type of eating, which we now know is not ideal.
- Teresa brings up the challenge of taking her kids to the State Fair, where there are tons of junk food. (39:00)
- Vinnie eases her mind by reminding her that it’s once a year.
- The problem in today’s society is that we make every event and everything worthy of being a “treat.”
- You have to decide what’s truly an important occasion.
