  • He didn’t want to just hand out pills and watch people continue to live unhealthy lives
    • Only one week of nutrition in med school
  • Dr. Eenfeldt found that for folks with Type 2 Diabetes and other metabolic problems, that low carb and keto did a lot more long-term than drugs
    • Tested it himself, looked into studies and research behind it, and finally took the plunge with his patients
    • He loved seeing this chronic, progressive diseases actually getting better
  • Like Vinnie, he doesn’t take support from products or companies he does not agree with
    • Much like Vinnie, he ain’t in it for the money – he is making significantly less than when he was an every day, med prescribing doctor
  • Check out his fantastic book, here!

    • It was just a lifestyle change that truly helped her succeed
    • NSNG was the answer
      • The weight she needed to lose before came RIGHT off, despite the lack of exercise
    • Dropping carbs felt effortless, and so Katy reached out and found Vinnie
  • Now, Katy primarily swims for exercise
    • She pounded down her body when training for the paralympics
    • The impact was tough on her back, so swimming is low impact and great!

    • That you can’t really sustain yourself on it, etc

The Diabetes Code with Dr. Jason Fung – Episode 1071

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1071 – The fantastic Dr. Jason Fung M.D. joins Vinnie today for another appearance on the Fitness Confidential podcast, and the two discuss healthy fasting specifically as a treatment for disease, protein, his new book The Diabetes Code with Nina Teicholz, and more on this Friday episode.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DR. JASON FUNG

  • Dr. Fung is truly a luminary
  • His first book, The Obesity Code, is a must-read
  • He is the foremost expert on fasting
  • If you want to lose fat quickly, you want to do this healthily
    • If your body needs more food (ex: you are pregnant, etc) do make sure you’re eating enough
  • You can fast, but you need to make sure your body is ready for it (i.e., you are fat adapted) and you follow guidelines like those provided by Dr. Fung
  • If your body does not see nutrients come in, this prohibits cell growth
    • Cancer is just cell growth
    • This is why moderate and careful fasting (not starving oneself) can help with diseases
    • Mostly anecdotal, however — look for more evidence in the future
  • Intermittent fasting is shorter times or not as consistently — easier, more common
    • Ex: Only eating during an 8 hour period, and fasting for the other 16 during the course of a day

PROTEIN

  • Vinnie does even eat .5g of protein per kg of his body mass
  • Fat is more important
  • Protein depends on what your goals are
  • Ex: if you are trying to build a lot of muscle, protein is useful
  • However, if you’re trying to maintain muscle or lose weight, this isn’t neccessary
  • Guidelines say .8g, but really it ought to be .6g or less
  • If you’re obese or a Type 2 Diabetic, .6g is the average to maintain

THE DIABETES CODE

  • Dr. Fung has release a new book
  • This book discusses the reversibility of Type 2 Diabetes
    • Medical industry does not want you to know this
    • Problem is not the disease, but how the disease is regularly treated
      • It is treated with drugs rather than how it ought to be treated, with diet and lifestyle changes
  • Describes method of control, primarily revolved around change in diet/lifestyle
  • Fasting and eliminating many carbs can help/reverse symptoms
  • An incredibly important read

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR FAT DOC, WHICH IS OVER 95% FUNDED AT THE TIME OF THIS POSTING HERE! WE ARE SO CLOSE TO REACHING OUR GOAL BEFORE THE DEADLINE, AND KEEP IN MIND, ANY MONEY OVER OUR GOAL WILL ONLY IMPROVE THE FILM FURTHER.

 

 

Confused Doctors & the Fat Doc with Ivor Cummins – Episode 1066

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1066 – The fantastic Ivor Cummins joins Vinnie this Friday, and the two talk Ivor’s part in the upcoming Fat Documentary, Ivor’s recent appearance on a primetime orthodox medicine TV program in which he defended LCHF successfully, confused doctors, cholesterol, and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FAT DOC

  • Ivor has agreed to be part of Vinnie’s upcoming Fat Doc
  • Vinnie, and Ivor, are lightning rods
  • Vinnie’s received funding offers from the meat, egg, etc, industry
    • However, we know that people on the other side are already going to fight this, so we won’t give them ammo to claim that this doc is “biased” due to its funding
  • Therefore, we need to raise money!
  • We’ll invite the Michael Gregers of the world on here, and have an open forum
  • “By the people, for the people” film

IVOR CUMMINS

  • Recently, Ivor was on the primetime Irish channel in which he debated for Low Carb/Keto lifestyle
  • He was essentially attacked, but fought back and really made them squirm because he was so good and right
  • The people who run the program attack anyone who isn’t on their side
  • Ivor knew he’d be attacked, ran with it, and really seemed to come out the victor
    • By the end of the video, and after the video, the host began to realize he was making some sense and her tone totally changed
  • Check out the embedded video below, or at this link
  • Doctors today are often incredibly confused
    • They’re taught certain things, and it is hard for many to go against what is ingrained in their lives and education
  • Watch Ivor’s amazing video, the Cholesterol Conundrum, which explains our perception vs. the truth about cholesterol here
  • He and Dr. Gerber have a new book out!
