The LLVLC Show (Episode 651): Hollywood Personal Trainer ...

SIGN UP NOW FOR LOW-CARB CRUISE IN GALVESTON, TX

In Episode 651 of ?The Livin? La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,? I?m so stoked to share with you my conversation with a Hollywood personal trainer and health podcaster named Vinnie Tortorich. It seems like there?s another new face popping up on the health scene every single week as more and more people are becoming enlightened to the message of healthy low-carb nutrition. The science supporting a ketogenic diet as a means for optimizing your weight, health and exercise performance is compelling and is capturing the attention of people from every angle of the overall wellness community. That?s what hooked a personal trainer named Vinnie Tortorich who has become so infuriated by the blatant lies we have been told about what a healthy diet and exercise routine looks like that he decided to start a podcast taking on the moniker of ?America?s Angriest Trainer.?

Vinnie, along with his lovely co-host Anna Vovich, pump out some fantastic information about nutrition, healthy living and some irreverent yet poignant commentary on the absolute craziness that is the world we live in these days. Listen in as Vinnie and I talk about his work with Hollywood star clients like Howie Mandel, his extensive background in fitness and exercise, why he turned to podcasting to start spreading the right messages about health, the battle he fought with leukemia and his exciting new book project with noted author and TV movie producer Dean Lorey that he expects to make a major impact. If you like ?The Livin? La Vida Low-Carb Show? and want just a little bit more (with some colorful language thrown in from time to time just for good measure), then check out Vinnie?s podcast and listen to him in today?s interview!

Listen to Vinnie Tortorich talk about what?s got him angry:

He considers me one of the biggest guests he?s ever had

He?s a big fan of my work and got ?giddy? on his show

He played middle linebacker, was lean and ?all muscle?

After he left school and sports, he was determined not to gain

Six months after playing college football, he packed on pounds

He didn?t realize it was happening to him as it was

How his girlfriend informed him that he?s ?getting fat?

He?s always been about keeping weight on, now wanted to lose it

She recommended he take Dexatrim and he took it for one day

He started parking his car and taking his bike everywhere

But it still wasn?t enough because he ate high-carb

He always heard that glycogen was his fuel source

When he started training 30 years ago, there were no trainers

He was telling clients to cut their carbs, but he didn?t

How he became a Hollywood trainer to the stars

When he moved to Southern California, he got into the scene

Started off with some Playboy playmates then real celebrities

Once his name got out there, he became in demand

When a celebrity gets into trouble, it?s usually the trainer

He used to brag about his clients, now he shuts his mouth

Howie Mandel and Genie Francis are ?dear friends? and clients

How he found out about low-carb and ketogenic diets

In his education at Tulane, he learned about ketones

But they said your body needs carbohydrates for fuel

He was skeptical about professors who claimed carbs were needed

When he became a trainer, he cut back on clients? carb intake

He always thought cycling took a very high-carb intake

The work he found on ketone-fueled cyclists that intrigued him

He started playing around with being in ketosis all the time

He found his cycle rides were much more efficient in ketosis

He?s always been a big fan of Dr. Steve Phinney/Dr. Jeff Volek

How he tries to keep the message simple on his podcast

His listeners are both overweight and athletes alike

Urine ketone sticks just aren?t a reliable ketone measure

Testing blood ketones is a great standard bearer for ketosis

If we?re going to break health system, we need to help people

Why he calls his podcast ?America?s Angriest Trainer?

He?s angry that your good intentions have been stolen

People are trying to do the right things with no results

We SHOULD be angry because people follow things faithfully

We?ve cut our fat, eat grains and exercise for hours

People are desperately looking for advice about what to do

If you run more, then you?ll just be more hungry

Remove the sugars and grains and that?s most of it

Most people don?t realize ketchup has sugar in it

He tries to teach people hidden sugars in foods

Why he doesn?t mention vegetable oils to keep it simple

He may go to promoting that message with his listeners soon

When he started his podcast, he avoided saying ?ketosis?

Listeners asked about ketosis after Andrea Anders interview

Ketogenic diet and ketosis are two big topics on his podcast

He always puts ?dietary? in front of ketosis to differentiate

Phinney/Volek describe it as ?nutritional ketosis?

There?s no sense in being worried about ketoacidosis

Your health and weight will be optimized in this state

It took him a year to get Howie Mandel off sugars/grains

His wife was worried about the butter and bacon he eats

Howie is ?very neurotic? and his heart doc praising him

He?s 57, leaner and more muscular than ever before

In the ?best shape of his life? wearing out treadmills

He actually looks younger now than he did at the age of 50

He put on ?the middle age spread? despite running everyday

Fitness magazines are wanting to have him on their cover

Yo Vinnie, where you from my brother?

Details about his upcoming new book with Dean Lorey

Dean insisted Vinnie do this book despite not wanting to

The 40,000 words in notes he wrote for the book

Top publishers wanted them to cut the book into two books

He will self-publish first book, major release for second

Jillian Michaels people warned him not to publish the book

TV trainers are trainers who can?t get their business going

The disturbing way he found out he had leukemia

His oncologist suggested he cut sugar out of his life

Sugar actually helps cancer to grow

He shares his cancer experience in his new book

The role ketogenic diets play in treating/preventing cancer

This diet is the way they used to treat epilepsy

It seems to work better than all those drugs out there

Coming up this Thursday in Episode 37 of the ?Ask The Low-Carb Experts? podcast, we will share our final episode for a few months on a fascinating topic for all of you exercise gurus out there.
