Episode 2685 – Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the abuse of weight loss drugs, understanding sugar in your body, and more.
Abusing Weight Loss Drugs
- Vinnie has been travelling lately on a long road trip. (2:00)
- They discuss how they pack snacks for a road trip.
- There is some concerning behavior surrounding the use of Mounjaro. (9:30)
- Rather than eating healthy, people still want to eat poorly, but ramp up the usage of the drug.
- There is an emotional component behind overeating. (12:30)
Understanding Sugar
- Why is sugar so bad? (21:45)
- They discuss macros and how much sugar your body needs at any one time. (23:00)
- If you don’t load your body with carbs, then your body will burn fat, which is a good thing.
- The amount of sugar you need varies depending on your activity. (25:00)
- For example, a boxer in the ring will burn through sugar very fast.
- However, there are many activities where your body can produce what it needs with gluconeogenesis.
- Any extra sugar is stored as fat, or long-chain triglycerides.
- According to a recent interview Vinnie had with Dr. Tro, it’s not uncommon for people to be on 19 medications. (29:00)
- The national average is 8 drugs.
- Vinnie explains complex carbs and the myth that claims they are better for you. (33:00)
- A glycogen load is bad because it causes your body to continually release insulin.
- Grains are starches, and starches are sugar.
- However, don’t become carb-phobic. That’s where Vinnie’s rule of Life Into Living (LIL) comes in. (37:00)
- If you are in Italy, have the gelato: meaning on a truly special, limited occasion, enjoy yourself.
- Just don’t let LIL become frequent or rampant.
- They chat about travelling and Chamonix. (40:00)
