Description

What happens when identical twins eat two completely different diets? Hugo and Ross Turner wanted to know. For 12 weeks one of them went vegan while the other continued eating meat and dairy. What happened during that time was amazing!   They join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about how their experiences differed. One lost more weight, one gained more energy, one lowered their cholesterol, and that's just the start!   The Turner Twins' story has captured the world and now they're sharing it on The Exam Room™.   Also on the show, Dr. Jasmol Sardana, aka Dr. Jazz, returns to answer your questions as Chuck opens the Doctor's Mailbag.   Among the questions answered:   - What plant-based foods should diabetics avoid? - How can an elderly person improve their immune system? - How low is too low for A1C levels on a vegan diet? - How much fiber is lost when blending whole fruits and vegetables in a smoothie?   --- --- ---   SPOILER: If you don't want to know how the Turner Twins’ vegan diet experiment turned out, stop reading until you've listened to the show.   ** Ross (Omnivorous Diet) **   CHOLESTEROL Before: 6.5 After: 6.5   WEIGHT Before: 187 lbs After: 191 lbs   MUSCLE MASS Before: 158 lbs After: 166 lbs   ** Hugo (Vegan Diet) **   CHOLESTEROL Before: 5.9 After: 4.9   WEIGHT Before: 185 lbs After: 182 lbs   MUSCLE MASS Before: 153 lbs After: 152 lbs   It is interesting to note that although Ross gained greater muscle mass with a traditional diet, Hugo reported no symptoms of weakness and had a feeling of similar strength while eating a vegan diet.   — — — The Turner Twins Web: https://www.theturnertwins.co.uk/ IG: @theturnertwiins Twitter: @theturnertwins — — — Chuck Carroll Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Dr. Jasmol Sardana IG: @drjasmol — — — Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/PCRMFacebook YouTube: https://bit.ly/PCRMYouTube — — — Barnard Medical Center Telemedicine Schedule Appointment: https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed     Share the Show   Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or many other podcast providers.
