PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS
MEDICATIONS
- In Louisiana, Vinnie figured out that the people he talked to were on average on 5 medications
- A statin, a type 2 diabetes medication, high blood pressure pill, antidepressant, etc.
- People were surprised when Vinnie told them he wasn’t on medications
NEW BOOK
- Vinnie and Dean self-published the first book
- Vinnie has written a second book
- Trying to work out how the next book will be released
- Anna also decided to self publish because it is often an economically superior choice
KETOSIS VS. FAT ADAPTATION
- Can be fat adapted without being in Ketosis
- Cannot be in ketosis without being fat-adapted
- Dietary ketosis IS NOT THE SAME as ketoacidosis
- Dietary ketosis DOES NOT LEAD to ketoacidosis
- Ketoacidosis can kill, dietary ketosis does not
- Dietary ketosis DOES NOT LEAD to ketoacidosis
- Dietary ketosis = body using fat as fuel instead of glucose
- Restricting so much sugar that your body has to use fat stores
- Fat adapted you can eat a bit more carbs but your body still processes things better
- Just because you are in dietary ketosis, does not necessarily mean you will lose weight
- The line is quite fine
TABATA
- Ruins Vinnie’s gym time
- Tabata circles tie up lots of instruments that Vinnie wants to use
- Empty machines are being ‘used’
- Tabata is not bad, interval training in the gym that takes up equipment frustrates Vinnie
- Also, a lot of the time you do this you are in zone 3 or zone 4
- Zone 2 is better for a lot of people
