HAND MODELING
- Vinnie has really manly hands
- However, he was a successful hand model for awhile
- Gave his hand VIP treatment
- Would make sure not to scratch it, not to fall on it
- Super careful when he cut his nails
- A few months later, there’s a Seinfeld episode where George is a hand model and walks around in a mitt
- Vinnie knew the writer and she knew/had spoke about his hand modeling career
- Would never admit she got the bit from him, though
THE WHOLE30 DIET
- Whole30 is essentially a low-carb diet
- Cuts out legumes and grains
- Anna had a friend doing this and had someone criticize this choice
- Whole30 really can be good
- But you don’t need to buy meal plans to do low carb diets
- Can only eat real foods
- Much better than a vegan plan
FATTY LIVER DISEASE
- People can get this from non-alcohol related causes
- Diet can be a reason
- A symptom of obesity
- Millions of people suffer from this in the US
- A silent killer
- 30 million have the full blown disease (NASH)
- Will take over Hep C as #1 reason for liver transplants
- CDC has not addressed crisis and FDA has no treatment
- However, low carb diets and NSNG can be a way to help this!
