Transcribe →Ketosis vs. NSNG Fat Adapted: What's The Difference? - Episode 881
Aug 21, 2017Tap to summarize: Episode 880 - Vinnie and Anna clear up any uncertainties about the difference between being in dietary ketosis or being fat adapted in NSNG... PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli Green Grocer Thrive Market FAT ADAPTED You can lose weight in both ketosis and just in NSNG Fat Adaption You don't need to be in ketosis to lose weight Ketosis is extra restriction of carbs so that your body is more-so running off of ketones Breaking down food into fatty acids Fat adapted - your body will still run on fat Do what works for you Some people like being in ketosis, others prefer not to limit carbs so much Eating berries, lots of veggies, dairy a bit harder to stay in ketosis
Transcribe →Debunking Sanjay Gupta
Jul 18, 2016Tap to summarize: Episode 638 - Anna and Vinnie take time debunking Sanjay Gupta, CNN's medical experts. They go through one of his 2 minute health videos in detail and show how it is full of contradictions, misleading imagery, and confusing statements. It's no wonder that Americans are so confused about what is healthy and what is not. #circle #zero PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli Squatty Potty WHO IS SANJAY GUPTA? Neurosurgeon and reporter Wanted to be Surgeon General (could be, one day [hopefully not]) Often on CNN for health related stuff Constantly contradicts himself Reads off of teleprompter People who write for him have no idea what they're talking about Try to sell "Standard American Diet" = SAD His videos lend themselves to allow Vinnie to begin debunking Sanjay Gupta DEBUNKING SANJAY GUPTA He is saying that some carbs are healthy and some are unhealthy BUT then he says they ALL DO THE SAME THING So how are some healthy and some unhealthy if they turn out the same in your body? This is why the American people are so confused In 42 seconds, he has talked in a complete circle He says fruits, vegetables, candy, honey (simple carbs) are processed quickly which is bad because it turns into sugar quickly He just called fruit good now he's saying it is bad? How can vegetables be grouped with candy? :52 seconds He says other carbs give you longer sustained energy from complex carbs -- potatoes, beans, BREAD Potatoes in REALITY are very sugary and cause glycogen load / glucose spike He is claiming they are really good He says whole grains are good Wait, but popcorn is a grain and he just said it was bad? #CIRCLE He links Watermelon and Popcorn in the video In reality, Watermelon has a VERY LOW glycemic index because of water content, and now he has said popcorn is BAD but grains (which popcorn is) are good? These two things are incomparable Only thing Vinnie and Sanjay agree upon is that sugar not used for energy (for most people, most of it) turns into fat! 1:52 of a 2:09 minute video is the first time Sanjay speaks the truth after he has confused and misguided everyone First time we hear fat in the video He says a double cheeseburger is bad although he just said grains are good The general public thinks the meat and cheese is bad, so is Sanjay implying that the meat and cheese is bad or the grain (which he previously said was good) is bad In reality, the only healthy part is the meet and cheese and lettuce and tomato! He links fat to a chicken wing as if no good fats exist SO confusing and deliberately misleading

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club Squatty Potty Villa Cappelli TRUMP Vinnie was talking to Andy (who is super liberal) about how this happens Vinnie thinks that people behind Trump are the fried twinky crowd While neither Vinnie nor Anna like Trump because they think he is hateful and does not have good concrete policies, they do have friends / listeners who support Trump and they realize that NIKKI BAILEY & FEELING GOOD Stand-up comic Has done some of the same shows and classes as Anna Vinnie is a huge fan of hers The Improv on May 10th!!! Check her out there Wednesday May 25th at the Comedy Store Check out one of her performances here Has a confident and natural style She has sparkle Nikki does have weight to lose, but she doesn't care about her appearance as much as she cares about just feeling better Trouble sleeping, weird rashes, achiness She went to doctors and they didn't know what to tell her She had been on every diet and just losing weight never REALLY made her feel better Now she is NSNG and most of that has gone away Did weight watchers 4 separate time Did lose the weight but then slowly gained the weight back and never really felt good Emotional component to eating Nikki had done therapy to talk about eating issues Nikki feels like she really gets to eat with NSNG and her emotional issues and physical issues are largely resolved SUGAR TRIGGER This week's stripper in "Stripper vs. NFL Player" THE BIGGEST LOSER People are trying to 'win' this game, and they are starving themselves They had to have doctors watching contestants because the contestants are in starvation mode and are incredibly dehydrated, for the most part Pretty much EVERYONE on that show gained the weight back and got even more emotional issues with food as a result of the show Caused permanent 'alteration' to their metabolisms alteration is negative
