(2:00) Vinnie recalls when he first noticed advertising using negative messaging as men being dumb. (9:30) Both hosts share stories about changing flat tires. Gina tells Vinnie about what she has heard about ketchup and frosting. (15:00) Vinnie explains sugar trickling during ultras and mountain climbing. (17:30) He also addresses ketchup for this; the ingredients have a lot of sugar so it doesn't surprise him that it would be used this way. But he is NOT advocating having these items all the time—he suggests getting fat-adapted. (18:30) He doesn't recommend bars or goos or any of that; he has used just Life Saver candies. There are only certain situations where he considered sugar trickling and he's very specific. But it doesn't change the fact that frosting and ketchup made with sugar are not healthy. You should be able to do your workouts fat-adapted. (23:30) Don't forget about Vinnie's new subscription community. You can find out more by going to https://vinnietortorich.com/VIP.
