CALORIE-IN CALORIE-OUT B.S.

  • If you think it’s sustainable, it simply isn’t.
    • When the car runs out of gas, you can’t keep running it on a deficit – you need to add more gas to the tank.
  • The laws of thermodynamics say once you burn your energy, you need to take more in.
  • You will bonk – your brain shuts down your body.
    • Your brain isn’t used to running on fat, it won’t just switch over to those stores.
  • People can white-knuckle CICO for awhile, but eventually, it just doesn’t work.
    • Biggest Loser shows a good example of how untenable this is.

  • Always struggled with weight
    • Particularly in med school (plus, they didn’t teach him much)

RESPONSIBLE DOCTORING

  • He has begun recommending keto diet to his patients.
  • Doctors in med school take things that they learn at face value
  • It is NOT the patient’s fault most of the time that they struggle to lose weight
    • So much easier to think a drug fixes it, etc.

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1642 – On this Saturday show, Danielle Numberg joins Vinnie and the two talk the nickname “fluff and cuff,” youngest children, gallbladders and fat consumption, keto “snake oils”, lessening joint pain, hospital food and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FLUFF AND CUFF

  • Vinnie met her and her half-sister last year in Ohio.
  • Her sister is the sweet smiley one, and Danielle is the tougher one.
  • “Fluff and Cuff” is Vinnie’s nickname for the two.
  • Her youngest sibling of five was definitely coddled the most!
    • He was also the only boy.
    • Vinnie found the same to be true of his youngest

GALLBLADDERS AND FAT CONSUMPTION

  • At her heaviest, she was nearly 300 lbs.
  • Now, she is down to 190 lbs.
  • At 17, she had surgery for several hernias.
    • Then, she had an appendectomy.
  • Recently, she got her gallbladder out.
    • She feels much better now.
    • The doctors couldn’t give her a reason.
  • Now, she’s eating more fat than she ever did and feels better than ever.
    • Of course, everyone is different and this is not medical advice. Consult your doctor.
  • Her joint pain is the best improvement –– the pain is significantly less eating this way.

KETO “SNAKE OILS”

  • She’s lost even more weight with NSNG® than with a Keto Diet that required her to take various pills n’ potions.
    • These were all BS money wasters.
    • All you need to do is cut out sugars and grains and eat real food. The rest is a lie.
  • The products are expensive and like a pyramid scheme.

VEGAN HEALTH LIES

  • Being an ethical vegan is one thing.
  • However, thinking meat is bad for your health is a lie.
  • Many “plant-based” foods are full of crap.
  • Saying eating vegan is the only way to go is patently false.
  • Obviously, consult your doctor, but perhaps veganism isn’t best for strokes.

SATIETY

  • If you have trouble getting full, make sure you aren’t eating something with hidden sugar.
    • Usually, this is the culprit.
      • Salad dressing is pretty common.
  • Hidden sugar gets your hunger hormones going!
  • If you’re eating salad, make sure you’re eating enough fat with it.
