Vinnie fields fitness and weight loss questions from the man who runs Hollywood, Dean Lorey.

Dean Lorey from Friday the 13th Part 9: Jason Goes to Hell.

Michael Tortorich sums up the podcast in the My Uncle Vinnie Blog Wrap Up:

Dean Lorey is back for another episode. The first of Dean’s hard-hitting questions: What’s with cyclists and snot? They then get into a discussion of diet, and the difficulties in finding healthy choices in certain places. The next question: Why do men tend to lose weight easier than women? Dean then asks about including bananas in his diet. He later asks questions about weightlifting, and losing stubborn belly fat.

Vinnie and Anna go through a popular email going around about how to prevent cancer, plus a lively discussion on the “Eat to Live” diet.

Michael Tortorich sums up the podcast in the My Uncle Vinnie Blog Wrap Up:

This show kicks off with Vinnie and Anna giving a shout out to one of their “super fans,” who sent in an article about the Army cutting out grains and sugar (unlike the FDA). That leads to talk of the GMO fish. “What’s next? Genetically modified hookers?” Vinnie concludes. He then tells Anna about the report of Susie Favor-Hamilton, a U.S. Olympic runner who turned to a life of high-class prostitution. Anna and Vinnie move on to a discussion of nutrition and cancer. Vinnie then talks about his battle with leukemia and chemotherapy. They proceed to talk about sugar and artificial sweeteners. Vinnie later talks about his friend Matt Serletic, who worked with Aerosmith on their hit song “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing.” Anna then finds some surprising information on the article.

Vinnie and Anna discuss running 5Ks to increase speed, how to make nut butters, and interview loyal listener Chelsea Boore about her successes and concerns with No Sugar No Grains.

Michael Tortorich sums up the podcast in the My Uncle Vinnie Blog Wrap Up:

Vinnie and Anna start the show by talking about Vinnie’s adventures in getting his book published. He won’t take the Jillian Michaels approach, so he’s looking into the possibility of self-publishing it. Anna then tells about her personal record in her recent 5K. That leads them to discussing Dean Lorey and his son. They then move on to a question about making peanut butter in the Vitamix. This leads to the Andrea Anders nut butter segment idea being born. Longtime listener/first time interviewee Chelsea Boore gets a call for some free advice. She’s been doing no sugar and no grains. While she lost weight right away and has been strict, she’s noticed some weight gain. They investigate the possibilities that may be the problem. Aside from diet, they talk about the types of exercises she’s doing as well. As they wrap up the show, they talk about how Anna will be posting more recipes. And, for good measure, Vinnie calls himself the King of Fitness for, like, the 80th time before the show ends.

Vinnie and Anna answer twitter questions, with a run-down on exactly how to fuel for endurance sports.

Michael Tortorich sums up the podcast in the My Uncle Vinnie Blog Wrap Up:

Twitter questions kick off this episode. Vinnie and Anna get into a discussion about racism, and the lack of it they’ve experienced. They then mention how Anna and Gay Andy will be posting recipes to the site. That leads to mentioning this very blog, which will be a regular feature. Robin Blackburn asks a question about fueling for endurance. One Twitter question basically took up the entire show due to the detailed answer.

Vinnie explains why he is the King of Fitness.  How to Lose Weight without Ketosis!

Michael Tortorich sums up the podcast in the My Uncle Vinnie Blog Wrap Up:

Right from the top of the show, Vinnie asks about calling himself the King of Fitness. Vinnie and Anna then talk about how Michael Jackson became the King of Pop, and Howard Stern became the King of All Media. A nickname like The Donald or The Situation wouldn’t work either. They then answer Cartunk Girl and Chloe Elfrink.

Vinnie and Anna rants on the family in the UK who claim they are “Too Fat To Work.”  Interview with Lousiana’s own John Smith, a living testament to No Sugar No Grains.
