  • Type 2 linked closely with obesity 
  • Insulin has negative effects 
• Visit his website here 

DONALDSONVILLE

• People all on tons of meds
• All have a sugary drink and some awful food in their hands

MISUNDERSTANDING OF WEIGHT GAIN

• Obesity links tons of diseases together
• Dr. Fung started by asking: What causes obesity?
• The Aetiology of Obesity Lectures 
• Sugar is the enemy, not calories 
  • When you eat less calories, your energy expenditure (and thus fat/fuel usage) goes down 
    • You simply get hungrier
• Takes time to lose the weight 
• Cortisol is a stress hormone -- encourages getting fat
• Leptin -- produced by fat cells, regulates how much fat is in the body
  • If you have lots of fat, leptin is released and tells your brain to stop gaining more weight
  • When you are quite fat, your body stops responding to leptin 
  • Secondary hormone -- doesn't pass the causal test 
  • Ghrelin is another one of these secondary hormones
    • No lasting effect so doesn't pass the causal test 

FASTING

• People always ask Vinnie about IM fasting
• Intermittent fasting should happen every day
  • 3 meals a day -- fast in between
  • literal "break - fast" 
• Snacks don't allow your body to process everything 
  • Shorter fasts are not enough 
  • Insulin levels not sustainably down 
• We obsess to much about what we are eating, we need to think about when we are eating 

Vinnie Tortorich and cohost Anna Vocino discuss lack of medication, hormones, and NSNG helping people on this Monday episode of the Angriest Trainer podcast.

GARY TAUBES & HIS MUST-READS

• Why We Get Fat: And What to do About It
• Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health
• Diet Delusion
• Gary is a reporter/journalist (NY Times) and a controversial guy, has done one of the best interviews in this podcast's history
• Writing another book currently -- so is Vinnie! 
• Went to Harvard, Stanford, Columbia 
  • Ivy League education definitely affected him 

VINNIE'S READING

• Reads incredibly slowly but comprehends way more than the average person
• Scientific brain -- he doesn't assume, he knows 
• Ended up allowing him to not pay attention in class, just read the books

NUTRITION WRITING

• He was doing nutritional pieces for science sections 
• He looked at evidence and saw whether or not it really was supported
• Gary wrote a controversial article calling out the nutrition world for saying low fat was bad 
• Initially was researching what caused the obesity epidemic?
  • Two hypotheses: high fructose corn syrup, shift to low fat diets
    • LOW FAT DIETS ended up being the issue, clear in his research
• Even in the 60's, people weren't fat 
• In the early 1900s, only ~1/20 people were obese 
• Only 2 Obese kids in Gary's middle school
• 60's : baked potato was fattening ; 80's: baked potato was a heart healthy food 
• At first, people didn't realize that high fructose corn syrup was sugar 
• When heart health came into question, fat became (incorrectly) bad, and carbs/sugar became (incorrectly) passable 

WHY WE GET FAT

• The general idea is calorie in / calorie out and thermodynamics
• Just like you can't think of wealth/poverty in terms of money intake vs money spent, you can't think of calories that way either 
• We secrete insulin in response to our carbohydrate intake

• Gen Z appears to be the generation that is pushing back against fake meat. (4:00)
  • Many vegan restaurants are adding back meat; the demand for meat is still there.
  • The theories are widespread; however, it all boils down to wanting both real animal protein and fruits and veggies. (13:00)
  • Vinnie has nothing against vegans; he is simply for better health, which includes various animal proteins.
• There is a "reverse-engineered" process to make cheese. A genetically modified strain of E. coli is used to produce casein from scratch, enabling the creation of vegan cheese. (27:00)
• Blue Zones are areas that predominantly eat fresh, whole foods—yes, even meat; however, that part is often not discussed. (34:00)
• COVID news: There's been a backlash against alcohol based on overuse during the lockdown years. (39:00)
  • There's a downward trend in alcohol consumption.
  • Side note: Vinnie might get his first piña colada on a long-delayed vacation.
• The VIP group will reopen soon.

  • It can be early-onset and be diagnosed as early as age 35.
• This launches a conversation about leaving a legacy. (15:20)
  • Vinnie's main interest has been to help people with their health.
• Coke made a big announcement that they are bringing "real sugar Coke" back into the U.S. (29:00)

  • Fruit juices are nothing but sugar. (36:00)
  • Chris shares some trivia about the marketing of Coke, Pepsi, and Russia. (44:00)
• Phone screen diet update. (45:00)
  • A study shows that kids who had cell phones or iPads before age 13 had more mental health challenges. (46:00)
  • Has Vinnie noticed changes in himself or how he feels since using his phone only for work purposes?
• What goes into your body, both physically and mentally, affects what comes out. (48:00)
  • Be wise in the use of your time!
  • It's not true that technology always gives you more time. (52:00)
  • A lot of technology just makes you lazy and lose health and mindfulness. (55:00)
• Do something useful and with purpose!
  • For example, make dinner at home and have it be a part of family time—connection matters.
  • Part of the success of Blue Zones is less about diet and more about community and basic human connection. (57:00)
• A lot of stuff is coming up with Vinnie in August, so keep an ear open!

• So many people want a magic pill that they forget that there is nuance to addressing individual health needs. (33:30)
  • You need to work with what you have.
  • A person's lifestyle and genetic history can significantly impact how well something works; consequently, it may take a long time for the body to heal. (35:00)
  • You cannot overeat anything without some measure of impunity.
• Your body naturally changes as you age; as a result, you may have to make adjustments as you progress. (38:00)

  • He has discovered that he can reduce the sugar in it and still maintain great flavor.
• Reasons for women losing weight slower than men, even on a ketogenic diet. (9:00)
  • Frontiers in Nutrition gathered the metadata, and this is what they found.
  • Testosterone makes it easier to mobilize fat.
  • Variations in the hormonal biochemistry occur in most women, making losing weight a larger challenge. (15:00)
    • Low-carb/keto still works for women, but can be at a different rate, so consistency is key.
• Lab-grown meat. (21:00)
  • They discuss the difference between lab-grown and fake meat (like Impossible Burger).
  • They discuss the marketing and messaging behind the motivation.
  • Climate change is a motivation, and they discuss inconsistencies in the argument. (28:00)
  • Lab-grown meat still contains chemicals and would challenge the environment for different reasons. (37:00)
  • The definition of an "ultra-processed" food: lab-grown and imitation meat qualify as this.
  • You can watch Vinnie's documentary "Beyond Impossible" to learn more. (42:00)
• Fitness trackers. Vinnie isn't always a huge fan, but if it keeps people active and cognizant of their goals, he's fine with them. (44:00)
  • The unfortunate thing is that they are not always accurate.
    • They don't always work well for obese people, and the algorithm was designed based on thin, healthier people. (46:00)
  • Don't get mad at the companies, just don't make yourself dependent on trackers. Rely on yourself!
    • They discuss examples of what they mean by this.
    • It's also not great to become obsessed with the data. That can have its downside as well. (53:00)
