: Episode 1177 - Listener and boxer Glenn Barras joins Vinnie from Louisiana to talk about how a low-carb diet allowed Glenn to lose weight and feel better, and the fact that age is just a number for athletes like Glenn and Vinnie. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club AGE IS JUST A NUMBER From the Baton Rouge area Vinnie could tell by his accent and phone number Former Air Force guy 54 years old and a boxer! Boxing is all adrenaline Age is largely but a number Old does not mean you shouldn't keep doing things like the sports you love Part of why Glenn still does it is because he still can! He has had several consults with Vinnie Glenn wants to stay active and inspire others to stay active Keep the weight off and what you can do is pretty limitless Many of Vinnie's high school and college classmates gained TONS of weight This partly made him exercise more because he didn't want this for him Glenn had a similar experience Gained a lot of weight when he stopped playing rugby Had trouble reaching down to tie his shoes and he hated it Did the 'good' low fat thing and exercise and still gained weight Wasn't eating fat, but his trigs were still up - this did not make sense to him The "conventional wisdom" did not work -- switched over to Low Carb Found NSNG because he was researching Could feel that the low fat wasn't working and was wrong Knew he had to get off the sugar Low carb/NSNG revolutionized Glenn's life Glenn (and Vinnie) had to battle the Southern culture that says they 'live to eat'
