Summary

Episode 2685 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the abuse of weight loss drugs, understanding sugar in your body, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/understanding-sugar-episode-2685 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Abusing Weight Loss Drugs Vinnie has been travelling lately on a long road trip. (2:00) They discuss how they pack snacks for a road trip. There is some concerning behavior surrounding the use of Mounjaro. (9:30) Rather than eating healthy, people still want to eat poorly, but ramp up the usage of the drug. There is an emotional component behind overeating. (12:30) Understanding Sugar Why is sugar so bad? (21:45) They discuss macros and how much sugar your body needs at any one time. (23:00) If you don’t load your body with carbs, then your body will burn fat, which is a good thing. The amount of sugar you need varies depending on your activity. (25:00) For example, a boxer in the ring will burn through sugar very fast. However, there are many activities where your body can produce what it needs with gluconeogenesis. Any extra sugar is stored as fat, or long-chain triglycerides. According to a recent interview Vinnie had with Dr. Tro, it’s not uncommon for people to be on 19 medications. (29:00) The national average is 8 drugs. Vinnie explains complex carbs and the myth that claims they are better for you. (33:00) A glycogen load is bad because it causes your body to continually release insulin. Grains are starches, and starches are sugar. However, don’t become carb-phobic. That’s where Vinnie’s rule of Life Into Living (LIL) comes in. (37:00) If you are in Italy, have the gelato: meaning on a truly special, limited occasion, enjoy yourself. Just don’t let LIL become frequent or rampant. They chat about travelling and Chamonix. (40:00) Eat Happy Kitchen is for everyone, and several of the sauces are vegan. (46:30) Anna’s sauces are in several stores. Go to her website and use the store locator to find the store closest to you.
