(8:45) It’s been around before, but in a different form: The Sugar Diet. It’s similar to an All-rice diet or a Fruitarian diet. Vinnie reviews his interview with Michael Arnstein. (10:30)They talk about Cole Robinson and the “Snake Diet.” (22:00) He should be ignored simply for the fact that he fat-shames.He has recommended OMAD, high fat before, but seems to have added “sugar fasting.” Chris gives the details of “sugar fasting.” (24:00) You are being lied to: there is no nutritional value to sugar, and it causes damage to how your body functions.

(35:30)Chris reviews what happened with the Rice Diet. (39:00) The reason it “worked” was an extreme caloric deficit. People in the study immediately regained weight upon leaving the study.Protein and heavy lifting are how you build a stronger, healthier body. (48:00) You do need some fat for your body to function properly. (50:45)There is nothing that you can eat or drink with impunity. (51:00)Follow Vinnie on X @vinnietortorich.
