PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli Squatty Potty VINNIE RADIO Vinnie looks like he will be having a show on KABC on the weekends Working on a contract He used to host a show in Louisiana called "Talking Fitness" back in the day He would always get the phones to light up by being controversial and baiting He likes live radio because callers and guests have to answer because they are on the spot Looking like the end of September EAT HAPPY Anna's cookbook has been released! Eat Happy: Gluten Free, Grain Free, Low Carb Recipes For A Joyful Life Only a kindle version so far Working on a hard copy (which will actually be soft for affordability) but Anna wants to get it just right and make it affordable so it may take a bit of time OLYMPICS Vinnie has an issue with Michael Phelps carrying the USA Flag He is not a great person or role model with his DUI and such He thinks he is a great athlete but not a great role model, nor does he have good nutrition Anna recognizes that the US likes the glam He thinks sports like shooting should gain more recognition Come-from-behind stories (Lisa One-Skate) are huge right now Refugee team this year Mardini is the Syrian refugee that swam to save many peoples' lives All about the hero/big story She won her heat but did not make it far BAD DIETS Yahoo posted an especially painful health and fitness article Super cheesy and painful "If It Fits Your Macros" -- IIFYM Anna thinks it stands for #IIntendtoFuckYourMouth Completely confusing article by folks who don't really understand ANY of the science behind nutrition "Stay in your calorie target-- then eat whatever you'd like!" Literally saying you can eat donuts and as long as you stay in your range its okay They don't know the difference between calories and macros The website said Anna should have 52% protein and 59% fat and -11g carbs WHAT??? Also how does this make sense with anything they just said about donuts? SOME 101 We have old 101 podcasts if you subscribe Additionally, if you book a call with Vinnie he can help you further! Grelin, leptin, insulin are what controls your weight and are controlled by the amount of carbs you eat When we eat sugar and grains, our bodies release different levels grelin and leptin and insulin Grelin - the hormone that causes you to want to eat The levels of this actually INCREASE when you eat high carbs Leptin - the hormone that tells your body you are full "safety hormone" Keeps your hunger in check Eating carbs messes with this Insulin messes with the sugar levels in your blood and muscles, and we get all the insulin we need from veggies and such Unless, of course, you have an insulin issue
