Summary

Episode 2611: In this episode, Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer take a deep dive into Lake Shaffer and discuss Chris' health journey to a low-carb lifestyle and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/02/deep-dive-into-lake-shaffer-episode-2011 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Deep Dive Into Lake Shaffer Vinnie chats about the very early part of his career and the clients he worked with. (2:30) Many of them wanted to be “painfully thin.” Chris gives the backstory of his health journey. (8:00) He used to be almost 100 lbs. overweight. He had a medical emergency that revealed some serious gallbladder issues. (11:00) He was told not to eat fat, so he filled his diet with carbs, and his weight blew up. Chris also has celiac disease. Vinnie recalls a Heather McDonald video that shows her fainting on stage. (13:30) Chris recalls more of his health story. (16:30) He experimented with veganism, a pescatarian lifestyle, then back to meat. He went low-carb and felt better almost immediately. He lost fat and gained muscle at a slower rate; he’s reached his goal in about 2.5 years. Chris talks about the “milk bar” at college; in college alone, he gained about 50 lbs. (25:00) Vinnie had his own weight gain story after college until a dear friend let him know he was gaining weight. What’s the difference between a friend mentioning concern for weight gain and fat-shaming? (34:45) Obese people know they are obese. No need to mention it and shame them. Chris shares a story from The Telegraph that discusses a “vegan backlash;” Britons are eating more meat again. (45:00) GenZ appears to be adopting a whole-food omnivore approach to eating. Chris reads an excerpt from the article that describes this.
