THE TRUTH ABOUT KETO

  • Many myths about keto
    • That you can’t really sustain yourself on it, etc
  • Vinnie has been largely in dietary ketosis for 12 years
  • Your brain will actually work BETTER on ketones
    • People who say otherwise are making it up or are wildly misinformed
  • People no longer in a brain fog

The Diabetes Code with Dr. Jason Fung – Episode 1071

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1071 – The fantastic Dr. Jason Fung M.D. joins Vinnie today for another appearance on the Fitness Confidential podcast, and the two discuss healthy fasting specifically as a treatment for disease, protein, his new book The Diabetes Code with Nina Teicholz, and more on this Friday episode.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DR. JASON FUNG

  • Dr. Fung is truly a luminary
  • His first book, The Obesity Code, is a must-read
  • He is the foremost expert on fasting
  • If you want to lose fat quickly, you want to do this healthily
    • If your body needs more food (ex: you are pregnant, etc) do make sure you’re eating enough
  • You can fast, but you need to make sure your body is ready for it (i.e., you are fat adapted) and you follow guidelines like those provided by Dr. Fung
  • If your body does not see nutrients come in, this prohibits cell growth
    • Cancer is just cell growth
    • This is why moderate and careful fasting (not starving oneself) can help with diseases
    • Mostly anecdotal, however — look for more evidence in the future
  • Intermittent fasting is shorter times or not as consistently — easier, more common
    • Ex: Only eating during an 8 hour period, and fasting for the other 16 during the course of a day

PROTEIN

  • Vinnie does even eat .5g of protein per kg of his body mass
  • Fat is more important
  • Protein depends on what your goals are
  • Ex: if you are trying to build a lot of muscle, protein is useful
  • However, if you’re trying to maintain muscle or lose weight, this isn’t neccessary
  • Guidelines say .8g, but really it ought to be .6g or less
  • If you’re obese or a Type 2 Diabetic, .6g is the average to maintain

THE DIABETES CODE

  • Dr. Fung has release a new book
  • This book discusses the reversibility of Type 2 Diabetes
    • Medical industry does not want you to know this
    • Problem is not the disease, but how the disease is regularly treated
      • It is treated with drugs rather than how it ought to be treated, with diet and lifestyle changes
  • Describes method of control, primarily revolved around change in diet/lifestyle
  • Fasting and eliminating many carbs can help/reverse symptoms
  • An incredibly important read

  • If we get the money, we will not be asking at all any more for money
  • Money will be coming out of our pockets for this
  • We keep repeating ourselves because we’ve learned repition is important
  • For example, tens of people ask the same questions on the FB page every day because they don’t always see that day’s previous post
  • Just like we conitnue to answer those questions, we continue to campaign for this film because we want to make sure everyone knows about it!
  • We truly want this to be the best doc about health and fat out there, and we want your help

CREEPS IN THE GYM

  • There is a guy at Vinnie’s 24 hour fitness who is super creepy
  • It appears he keeps filming other men in the locker room
  • The gym has had complaints before, or so it seems
  • They haven’t done anything about it yet
  • This is unacceptable!

SUMMER BODS

  • Some people trying to achieve good bods in time for summer
  • Many were doing a 60 day no LIL challenge
    • This is a great idea
    • Break your bad habits and look better in the process
  • Tweak your diet a little if you’re stalling, and make sure you aren’t lying to yourself about what you’re eating and drinking
  • Scheduling a consult with Vinnie is a great way to help break that plateau
