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.
  • You can find Teresa on Instagram @teresastrasser and X @teresastrasser
  • Teresa has a book called “Making It Home,” which is in Vinnie’s Book Club. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593546083/

 

  • Dirty Keto is officially released on Amazon! (27:30) https://amzn.to/4d9agj1
