(6:00) He's been taking creatine and increasing his protein ratio. Curb expectations when starting low-carb: initial weight loss can be rapid due to water loss from inflammation, but it will slow. (24:00) Vinnie doesn't like to judge other trainers, but…. (27:00) He witnesses BS bro-science all the time at the gym and gives an example of it. Be careful of bro-science; you don't want to be canceling out your efforts. Vinnie posted on social media about a study comparing fat burning to carb burning in elite athletes. (35:00) It has been shown that high sugar diets can affect memory. (53:29) There is a lot of bro-science and "hacks" out there, but it all boils down to the fact that none of it helps if you're not taking control of your diet and exercise. Consistency matters.
