MEAGHAN

She has a confusing last name!
Her husband is from Morocco, they have beautiful children
She went to James Madison in Virginia
Meaghan knew Vinnie had to be on the Dr. Drew show
She is very involved in podcasts and running

BEING GLUTEN FREE

Meaghan went to Runner’s World Festival (4 races in three days (1/2 marathon))
- Generally, people want to “carb up” before races
- At this conference she went to they had a gluten free pasta option
Often, Gluten-Free marked foods are quite processed
- eat REAL food, not foods that have to be marked gluten free if you can
It is frustrating when everyone asks if she eats “Quinoa” because she is gluten free
- She said “Fuck Quinoa”
- Even Quinoa can make you inflamed

RACE & TRIATHLONS

There is resistance to black women wanting to run/do triathlons simply because their hair can be hard to deal with and requires a lot of work
- Meaghan thinks it is healthy and good to discuss race and gender and it makes the world interesting that people are different
Vinnie loves people of all races, genders, religions even if he rants or makes comments :)

THE ART OF GOOD WRITING

Being a voracious reader can really help one become a better writer
- Reading is an important part of anyone’s life
Vinnie had to read a lot when he was younger, and loved it
- His mother was a hands-on librarian
Vinnie got so much motivation from books
Check out Larry’s article about losing weight here

Losing Weight on a Low Carb High Fat Diet

LARRY AND KAY LYNNE

Both had incredible weight loss journeys on a LCHF diet
Liked what Tim Noakes had to say
Examined his own beliefs that had been imposed upon him by media and government
- Researched why we ever thought sat fats and fats like olive oil are bad
  - Couldn’t find any evidence supporting that fat was bad
At first, Kay Lynne thought “I’ll believe it when I see it”
- This ACTUALLY worked though!
- nothing before this was sustainable
- She at first watched Larry lose weight
  - It took her awhile to accept what she was giving up, but eventually she made the decision to try it for 3 weeks
    - She realized it was the right move
      - After this she never looked back
Their daughter influenced them greatly
Memory issues ran in the family — the two wanted to avoid their currently 2 year old adopted daughter having to take care of them

PUTTING LIFE INTO LIVING

Enjoy a piece of cake every once and awhile
Just don’t use this as an excuse to change your lifestyle!
You can have a “cheat” day every once in awhile, but this implies dietary restrictions beyond sugars and grains and can take people off the tracks
- After a cheat day, you will wake up bloated, starving, and wanting to cheat more
  - Must be careful!
  - Eventually, you get over it. Then you have a good day or even a few, but then it’s your cheat day again and then you start all over. That is why you must be careful with having too many cheat days.
- Having a “cheat” day once a week can be a slippery slope
- That is why we say “Life into Living” instead
  - It isn’t a permission slip for a day, rather than maybe just ONE slice of cake every once in awhile

- You have to eat right and also exercise

His twin brother is getting married

EATING IN INDIA

Cattle on the roads outside the city
The roads are something like “Frogger”
Although there is mayhem, there are no accidents
People so wonderful and positive in India
Vinnie thought it was a pretty unbelievable thing — the Ecoroots challenge, especially with Andy
Where Vinnie and Andy and Tarun were was one of the few states where you can legally eat beef (Shillong)
- No fat people!!
Now where they are is a vegetarian hotel (Hindu)
- Vinnie has been eating his saved beef jerky
  - He had trouble eating there
    - His shoulder was full of inflammation from having a tiny bit of unintentional grain in his food
People in India and at the hotel eat grains around the clock
- Tarun even believes his peoples’ diet is “shit”
- Breakfast: cake to spice up the breakfast options
  - Vinnie had to have chickpeas for breakfast until Matt introduced him to a restaurant in town that served meat
If you are fat, it means you have enough to eat
- It can be a good thing!!!
- Tarun’s family worries about him because he is lean, but REALLY he is healthier than ever
