RAW FOOD, ULTRA EVENTS, AND WEIGHT LOSS

• Vinnie and CJ had a consult
• Wanted to ask how to fuel up when dragging in workouts
• Best piece of advice was to slow the hell down and do it in zone 2
• After college, CJ gained a good amount of weight
  • Ended up 235+ lbs at 5’8″
    • Could afford to lose 50 or more
  • Ate like a teenager, wasn’t really exercising
• He played a lot of golf when he started to lose weight
  • the walking helps, but drinking beer and eating hot dogs doesn’t
• Exercise is a poor way to lose weight
• CJ tried out the raw food diet
  • Vegan by nature
  • Tried it to lose weight
  • Didn’t cheat for about 6 weeks
  • Realized how incredibly unsustainable it was
• Even in ultra events, there is so much sugar being consumed
  • People still have fat around the middle
  • And, they poop their pants during the races
  • CJ found this trickling sugar thing did not help him lose weight
    • He was a middle of the packer
    • Would have 12 bottles of gatorade over a 6 hour bike ride
      • STRAIGHT sugar
• The two met at Carolla’s guac competition
• CJ was almost a Type 2 diabetic before finding Vinnie
