KETO FLU

• Occurs when your body cuts out sugar and such
• You don’t have to be in ketosis to feel this
• When you are used to living on grain and sugar, cutting it out may make you feel a bit sick or lethargic
  • Body is building up ketones
    • A form of energy
• Used to be called “Atkins Flu”
• Your brain works better on ketone bodies
  • Epileptic people are now told to be on ketogenic diets, for example
• To help it, add salt in your food, have extra water, etc.
• It is okay and it will go away!

 

Lee Buxbaum, a loyal listener, joins Vinnie on this Saturday edition of the Angriest Trainer where they discuss getting off that last bit of weight that seems the most stubborn.  Although Vinnie thought this podcast was coming out after the New Year, he was mistaken, so enjoy this early holiday gift!

VINNIE AFTER CANCER

• After leukemia (and during) people kept telling Vinnie he needed to do certain things
  • Eat macro-diet and micro-diet, juice everything, have wheatgrass, etc or he would die
• He went to his hematologist and asked how much of it was the truth
  • His incredibly intelligent hematologist simply said “Stay away from sugar!”
    • Everything is pointing towards sugar as one of the things that cancer loves

SUGAR AND CANCER

• Sugar does not cause cancer, but cells that make tumors and such are fermentors
  • This means they will gain energy from glucose fermentation
    • Sugar feeds them
  • This is a prime fuel, but not the only fuel
• Our red blood cells are constantly making a little lactate
• Tumor cells have defective mitochondria so they make lots of lactate

WHAT CAUSES CANCER?

• Radiation
• Chemicals in the environment
• Chronic inflammation
  • ex: Lung cancer comes from lung inflammation which is worsened by smoking
• Age
• Mutations in genome that we inherit
  • People are pre-disposed to cancers
  • genome is your set of genes and differences / mutations in them

KAREN PARROTT

• Came to the inaugural NSNG meet up
• From Carlsbad, CA, just 100 miles away from LA
• Meet up was just a bunch of people wanting to know more about the lifestyle
  • Went out to eat, meditated, worked out with Vinnie
  • Karen highly recommends!
• Karen used to be overweight, but has lost 70 lbs and kept it off!
• In ~2002, had a nutritionist tell her grains and sugar were hurting her

DOES KNOWING ONE’S GENETICS HELP WITH DISEASE RISK?

• Knowing can be dangerous because then you have a big excuse not to try
  • For example, if you know you have obesity genes in your family, you will just say you’re predisposed and can’t help it, and eat junk food!

WHAT ARE SOME OF VINNIE’S FAVORITE THINGS TO EAT OUT?

• Vinnie and Serena eat at restaurants a lot now that Tallulah is at college
  • Lunch is always out and now dinner is always out
• They go to nicer restaurants because they get better food
  • Vinnie loves Marmalade Cafe because he gets good fish, or a bun-less hamburger
• Loves broccoli!
• Hipster-type gastro-pubs are really big but have NSNG options
• Goes to Chipotle, gets a bowl without rice and without corn
  • Chicken/beef, beans, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, salsa, guac
  • This is a good fast food option
• The Counter is also very good
  • Made-to-order burgers are a good way to go (just don’t get a bun!)
• If you can’t eat gluten, make sure that your vegetables at restaurants aren’t cooked in pasta water or anything like that
