Your Fasting Questions Answered with Dr. Jason Fung – Episode 2241

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2241 – On this Friday’s show, Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Jason Fung and gets your fasting questions answered, including why CICO doesn’t work, the “dawn effect”, hormones, and much more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

YOUR FASTING QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • Vinnie welcomes Dr. Jason Fung back to the show and they chat about misconceptions about what fasting is. (2:00)
    • Dr. Fung explains what fasting is and how CICO (calories in, calories out) is an epic disaster.
    • Weight loss isn’t about calories, it’s about hormones like insulin and allowing your cells to work.
  • Vinnie asks Dr. Fung about thermodynamics and CICO. (9:00)
    • Thermodynamics has nothing to do with weight gain; it applies to physics, but not physiology.
    • If CICO worked, then all of the “diet businesses” (like Weight Watchers) would be out of business.
    • They explain that fasting affects hormones, which is why eating throughout the day is bad advice.
  • Vinnie and Dr. Fung discuss intermittent fasting as well as medical fasting: what it is, how it works, and some of its benefits. (29:00)
    • They clarify whether or not fasting affects muscle growth.
  • They also discuss what is happening in a “dawn effect”. (40:40)
    • Vinnie brings up measuring ketones and Dr. Fung’s thoughts on that.
  • They switch to discussing the hormones ghrelin and leptin, what each one does and how each works. (47:45)
  • Dr. Fung clarifies what indeed breaks a fast. (55:30)

Angriest Trainer 296: Michael O’Neal and Jessica Shaanan in Studio

by Vinnie Tortorich

Michael O’Neal started his podcast, “The Solopreneur Hour, Job Security for the Unemployable” in August 2013.  Join Michael, his girlfriend, Jessica, Vinnie and Anna as they discuss the NSNG Lifestyle, “Calories-In/Calories Out” and why it doesn’t work, women’s body image and a plethora of other controversial issues.

Women and Body Image

  • Women are rarely happy with their bodies and have a distorted body image
  • How do women avoid building big thighs?
  • You can’t “spot lose” weight
  • You can’t make fat go away with exercise, but you can build muscle

Calorie-In/Calorie Out

  • Does not work…it is a myth
  • Very few can keep weight off this way
  • You cannot starve yourself forever…dieting does not work
  • NSNG is a lifestyle, not a diet

Processed Foods Have Changed Our Diets

  • At one time, not long ago, obesity was a rarity
  • Sugar, sweets and dessert were an occasional treat
  • Meat, vegetables, dairy and fruit were the way we ate

So How Do We Lose Weight

  • Jessica gives Vinnie and snapshot of her daily healthy eating (and it’s pretty darn good!)
  • Look at your diet carefully
  • You have to change your eating habits
  • Eliminate sugars and grains
  • And put “life into living”… you can cheat once in a while
