Episode 2119 - On this Monday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino get into topics where bro-science and building muscle conflicts, why following the PDF is not "following a diet", and offer answers to some listener questions, and more. [libsyn_podcast id=23332802] PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli FOLLOWING A DIET This episode leads off differently as a big storm had just gone through Vinnie's area--but the show must go on. Don't forget to go to iTunes and rate and review the podcast. This bumps it up in the ratings and allows it to be found easier. Download Vinnie's PDF and get all the basic guidelines. A person can decide how much they want to stick to the PDF, but your results will show whether being strict or not works best. Anna & Vinnie mention that this is not a "following a diet" because it's not something you follow temporarily and then go back to old ways of eating. BRO-SCIENCE Anna has recently spoken to two men who are under the bro-science influence of thinking. They think they need high carbs to gain muscle weight and definition; Vinnie addresses where this idea comes from and why it is incorrect. Vinnie then explains how you should be fueling to build muscle; if you need specific help, it's best to book a consult and he can further address your questions. MODIFYING RECIPES & OTHER ANSWERS Vinnie and Anna then answer several listener questions about carbs from vegetables, a few flour substitutes (what works and what doesn't), and what are some good and bad examples of crunchy snacks. They finish off the episode showing off some of their musical chops. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched this week, January 11! Order it TODAY!
