WEIGHT-BEARING EXERCISE

  • Vinnie recognizes a rower or similar equipment isn’t practical for many people to have in home.
  • Free weights are a great way to go.
  • Weight-bearing exercise should be your aim.
    • This isn’t necessarily weight-lifting.

    • Our bones are stronger as a result.
    • Walking is soooo important.
  • Jumping rope is excellent muscle-building and cardio.
    • Vinnie loves to jump rope.

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1652 – On this Saturday show, Katelyn Goodwin joins Vinnie and the two talk overcoming food pyramid indoctrination, vegan propaganda, silly documentaries, and more!

KATELYN’S STORY

  • Katelyn found Vinnie through his book.
    • She found it on Amazon while looking for fitness and health books.
      • At first, she didn’t take it all in because she thought it was crazy.
  • She struggled to lose the last 10 to 15 lbs in her late 20s.
    • Katelyn had tried vegetarianism and other similar diets.
      • Vegan propaganda is so strong.
      • She switched to almond milk, vegan butter and the like.
      • The weight never really came off.
  • She’s a counselor in Department of Corrections in Rhode Island.

FOOD PYRAMID INDOCTRINATION

  • The food pyramid and what we’re taught as kids had really gripped her.
  • She had brain fog, lethargy, was often sore, and had other symptoms.
    • It turned out, she had a gluten allergy.
      • After she cut out gluten, her symptoms went away and she rediscovered Vinnie.
  • Then, she cut out sugar and grains and weaned herself off of artificial sweeteners and it started to make sense.
  • It was difficult to buy it because she was so convinced from a young age that fat would make her fat.
  • Once you start cooking real food, you don’t want the bread –– it no longer is “I can’t live without it.” It’s “I don’t want to live with it.”

Therapeutic Ketogenic Diets with Joy Kiddie, LCHF RD – Episode 1651

by Vinnie Tortorich

JOY KIDDIE

Joy Kidde Before And After

  • Joy has a Bachelor and Masters degree in Human Nutrition and with all her studies, she learned absolutely nothing about low carb diets!
    • Her post-graduate degree was in mental health nutrition, where she published a ground-breaking study about diet and ADHD in children.
    • While it wasn’t the case at the time, one of the scientists she researched with is now also low carb.
  • Years later (about 5 years ago) Joy began to learn about the health benefits of LCHF diets and therapeutic ketogenic diets.
  • While she’s in Canada, Canada’s dietary guidelines are based on the same research as the US dietary guidelines/
  • 5 years ago, a retired physician friend came to talk to her about putting a family member on a low carb diet –– and discussions with this friend led her to a blog written by Jason Fung.
    • She and Jason connected, and she learned about his approach to LCHF and keto diets, and their benefits.
  • Joy used a LCHF and keto diet to lose 55 pounds and to put her own very high blood pressure type 2 diabetes and other health conditions into remission.
    • She tracked her own progress as she would a patient’s and you can read about her journey here: https://www.lchf-rd.com/a-dietitians-journey/
      • When she was about ½ way through her own weight loss, she was told she was too fat to counsel others as a dietician. At that point she had been studying the literature about LCHF diets and using them successfully with her clients for 3 years. Joy believes that what makes her competent to counsel others, despite not having completed her own weight loss yet was the science that LCHF and keto diets are based on, not her own body weight.
      • Joy has maintained her weight loss for the last year and a half and teaches others how LCHF is easily sustainable, eating real, whole food.
  • Here’s Joy’s website: https://www.lchf-rd.com/

The Journey Beginning to Now

THERAPEUTIC KETOGENIC DIETS

  • It took Joy some time to reconcile what she had learned about saturated fats, heart disease, etc., with all of the amazing science she was reading about in the scientific literature.
  • She uses ketogenic diets to treat seizure disorders, as an adjunct treatment for glioblastoma as well as for putting type 2 diabetes into remission.
  • While her very first approach was very high fat and moderate protein, she now uses the full range of low carb diet approaches. She utilizes different low carb diets for different reasons, with different people. She believes there is no one-sized-fits-all low carb or keto diet. Diets for those with epilepsy, for example, will need a different approach than someone doing low carb power lifting, or seeking weight loss.
  • Joy makes sure to take each individual circumstance into account in her work.
  • She also supports natural periods of intermittent fasting (IF) that can be built into people’s plans.

WAP

  • Vinnie and Anna talk about the song WAP: Wet Ass Pussy.
  • The song seems to glamorize a lot of the same things that porn sometimes does.
  • Of course, it is meant to be a women empowerment song.
    • How is this reconciled with the women’s lib movement of the 70s?
      • Anna actually met Gloria Steinem!
  • It’s funny thinking of what a clean version of this song would entail.
  • Of course, the sexual revolution was an important thing in American culture.
  • The song, however, seems to use quite a lot of hyperbole.
  • Make sure your sex is what you enjoy!
    • Don’t abide but what society or songs are telling you sex should be.
  • This episode brought to you by old people breaking down a rap song!

“KETO-FRIENDLY” PRODUCTS

  • Most “keto-friendly” foods n’ things out there are BS.
  • First, they have hidden sugars in them.
    • Your liver doesn’t know the difference!
  • Also, most are chemical sh*tstorms!
    • Your stomach will not be happy if you’ve been eating no sugar no grains.
  • Many of these “foods” like waffles are nearly NEVER concerned without other sugars or carbs.
  • AVOID THESE PRODUCTS! Eat real foods!
