People get militant about sugar. (15:00) Sucrose, fructose, starches—it's all simple sugars. Honey is sugar. What is a "sugar trickle"? (17:00) Vinnie explains fat burning during sports and what a "bonk" is. Vinnie figured out how to do a sugar trickle during ultra races. The body only needs about 2 tsp of glucose for normal activity. (31:00) Anna gets asked all the time for a specific meal plan. (38:45) She has always loved the ease and flexibility of NSNG as a voice of reason. Her question to people is: why do you feel you can't trust yourself? Resistant starches: Anna asks what the deal is about them and whether they are related to a sugar trickle. Yes, they can be absorbed more slowly, but the benefit is the same as smoking a cigarette with or without a filter. (45:30) Update on Vinnie's "digital diet."
