Summary

Episode 2206 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich welcomes back Dr. Eric Westman and the two discuss the benefits of fat as fuel, sugar addiction, Big Food, Dr. Westman's new book about ending carb confusion, and more. [libsyn_podcast id=24590337] PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN END YOUR CARB CONFUSION Vinnie welcomes Dr. Eric Westman back to the show and asks him about the Duke Keto Medical Clinic. (1:15) Keto is shifting your body to fat-burning and there are so many benefits to it; Eric gives an example. (8:00) Eating a keto diet doesn't have to be expensive; there are ways to find deals on meat purchases. Many people find that they end up eating less food because they are more satisfied. Vinnie chats about his interest in building lean muscle mass when he was younger and noticed that bodybuilders would get "cut" by eating protein and fat, not carbs. (15:30) Vinnie then asks Eric what nutrition training was like when he was in medical school and how it's progressed. (17:00) Both men agree that Dr. Stephen Phinney (of Virta Health) has been a huge influence on what they know about a ketogenic way of eating. The conversation turns to fat as fuel for long distances and some of the current successful athletes doing it. (21:30) Even though there are many examples of these athletes, there is still so much doubt that it's even "possible". Vinnie asks Eric why there are so many dietitians and other health and science professionals resistant to doing further studies and promoting keto as a solution. (30:50) NIH is still stuck on CICO (calories in, calories out), even though it's been proven it doesn't work and is not sustainable. Eric mentions that funding is a big issue. Ending carb confusion is the goal. Vinnie and Eric agree that there is no diabetes in a world without carbs. (35:15) They then talk about sugar addiction needs to be looked at seriously. (40:45) The chat about autoimmune conditions and how they are affected by carbs. Big Food companies hire scientists to formulate food to create addictions to them so you'll be a repeat customer. Eric mentions "Adapt Your Life Academy", which is an online membership where you can get coached in a low-carb lifestyle. Vinnie then asks Eric to discuss his book, "End Your Carb Confusion", written by him, Dr. Amy Berger, and others, and it has a cookbook that provides even more options. Vinnie and Eric have a lot to say about Dr. Tro Kalayjian and how his approach to patients is making great strides in actually healing people. (1:03:50) Vinnie thanks Dr. Westman for his participation in both FAT documentaries because they are helping save lives!
