Episode 2638: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss making a comeback, how sugar is poison, hybrid meat, screen time, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/04/sugar-is-poison-episode-2638 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Sugar Is Poison Vinnie tells Chris about a couple of common phrases that he heard a lot in his younger years. (3:00) How do these two phrases relate to making a comeback? (15:00) Pure Vitamin Club has made a comeback and has everything in stock. RFK Jr. recently stated, "Sugar is poison." This message has needed to come from a government official for a long time. (18:00) The quantity of sugar consumed per capita has multiplied over the decades. A hybrid burger, "Both", mixes meat with vegetables in the same patty. (28:00) Vinnie doesn't like that the underlying message is that meat is bad, or at the very least, eat less meat. (30:30) Another hybrid "meat' is a chopped steak by Choppy. (33:00) Chris shares the ingredients, and it doesn't sound great in Vinnie's opinion. The desire for convenience makes people take shortcuts that they don't need to. For example, feeding cereal to their child for breakfast instead of cooking eggs. Chris has some exercise questions for Vinnie. (43:00) Another fitness influencer suggests three things to do in the gym. Vinnie discusses why the three exercises may not be optimal. He suggests instead push-ups, assisted pull-ups, lunges, or bodyweight squats. Adding cardio and flexibility is always a plus, and it doesn't have to be complex. (50:00) Vinnie discusses his "phone diet." (53:00) He has suggestions on how you can reduce time on the phone. There are so many entertainment sources that people think they need them all the time.
