Following a Diet & Bro-Science – Episode 2119

by Vinnie Tortorich

FOLLOWING A DIET 

  • This episode leads off differently as a big storm had just gone through Vinnie’s area–but the show must go on.
  • Don’t forget to go to iTunes and rate and review the podcast. This bumps it up in the ratings and allows it to be found easier.
  • Download Vinnie’s PDF and get all the basic guidelines.
  • A person can decide how much they want to stick to the PDF, but your results will show whether being strict or not works best.
  • Anna & Vinnie mention that this is not a “following a diet” because it’s not something you follow temporarily and then go back to old ways of eating.

BRO-SCIENCE

  • Anna has recently spoken to two men who are under the bro-science influence of thinking.
  • They think they need high carbs to gain muscle weight and definition; Vinnie addresses where this idea comes from and why it is incorrect.
  • Vinnie then explains how you should be fueling to build muscle; if you need specific help, it’s best to book a consult and he can further address your questions.

MODIFYING RECIPES & OTHER ANSWERS

  • Vinnie and Anna then answer several listener questions about carbs from vegetables, a few flour substitutes (what works and what doesn’t), and what are some good and bad examples of crunchy snacks.
  • They finish off the episode showing off some of their musical chops.
