    Looking for Cheats - Episode 2640
    May 5 2025
    Episode 2640 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss looking for cheats, sugar industry lies, have a special guest on for meal planning, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/05/looking-for-cheats-episode-2640 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin ClubPure Coffee ClubNSNG® FoodsVILLA CAPPELLIEAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast LOOKING FOR CHEATS At the time of this episode, Anna’s Eat Happy Kitchen spices are on sale for a short time. Use code BOGO25.Vinnie has been screaming about the harm that certain carbs can do for years. (2:00)He explains how a glucose spike and a glycemic load happen in the body, which can lead to insulin resistance. (6:30) The information dieticians have been giving about complex carbs has been misleading. Marketing agencies have been able to use buzzwords on products that only cause confusion. (9:30) For example, “gluten-free” and “gluten-friendly.”"Gluten-friendly" doesn’t mean anything, and gluten-free doesn’t mean low-carb.People think that their food needs to be “fortified.” (12:00)If you have cheese, you already have protein; you don’t need to “fortify” cheese; however, people are always looking for cheats or shortcuts. Anna reads comments from the sugar industry about RFK Jr.'s recent comments about sugar being poison. She is trying to effect change by bringing healthy products and yummy recipes to *everyone*. (18:00)She reads the response from the sugar industry’s Courtney Gaine, PhD; his claim of sugar consumption being the lowest ever is outright bullsh*t. (21:15)During the Lincoln administration, the average sugar consumption per person, per year, was approximately one pound; however, current estimates are at 150 lbs per person, per year. (23:15)Some research estimates up to 350 lbs per year! Jennifer is joining the show to discuss how she came up with a *year-long* dinner meal plan. (32:00) Almost no meal is repeated!Anna and Vinnie ask her for a breakdown on how she plans it--it's amazing, but she wants to make her plan NSNG® friendly.

Honesty and Integrity

Vinnie Tortorich is not afraid to tell the truth about himself, and his guests are the same. He and his guests are thorough in their research and don't talk about things unless they are certain about the validity. I know I can trust what I hear!
