    • Vinnie states that if you are doing things like squats or bench presses “to failure”, you’ll need to go to the gym and/or have a reliable “spot” person.
  • Anna ends the show with a delightful recipe for some fish she’ll be making.

Diet Trickery – Episode 2149

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2149 – On this Monday’s show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the lure of “diet trickery” and fasting, weight lifting, a little celebrity chat, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

“DIET TRICKERY”

  • Vinnie and Anna start off the show with a bit of commentary on some of the bro-science that is all over the internet. (3:30)

    • Vinnie shares his thoughts on intermittent fasting and that it is not meant to be “diet trickery”.
    • Fasting used with medical guidance and with attention to autophagy is good; however, “diet trickery” can be bad.

    • Exercise is the fountain of youth but is necessary to take things to the next level.
