THE FOOD LIST
- Anna reads a fantastic list of what she has in her pantry to get you started. (28:00)
- There are things like nuts that, although considered NSNG, can be overdone.
- Pay attention to your hunger cues and any rogue snacking.
- Vinnie always says you can not eat any food with impunity; his friend Don is an example.
- Anna continues the list of refrigerated items, like dairy. (39:00)
- If you’re not a baby, you don’t need dairy; however, dairy (like cheese) is considered NSNG.
- She gives a disclaimer about meat–buy what you can afford. (42:15)
- Anna’s new NSNG Italian cookbook is coming out later this year, but you can preorder it!
- Go through Vinnie’s Amazon link from his book club to find it at VINNIE’S BOOKCLUB.
- The Super Bowl is coming up. Anna’s got tons of recipes for game day!
- Vinnie explains the sugar in bacon. (53:30)
- Anna’s list is not necessarily comprehensive here, so you can reach out to her on X to ask questions. (56:30)
- She continues with the veggie list and gives clarity on items like sweet potatoes and squash.
- They chat about fruit and using citrus to add acid for flavor—that is different from drinking a glass of juice.
- Don’t forget—olives and avocados are fruits!
- There are freezer items: make room for meats and for saving bones for broth! (1:02:15)
- Do not use bones that someone has eaten off of as those will hold bacteria from saliva.
- Once you start making your broth, you’ll never go back to boxed broth.
- Anna’s recipes are so good—it makes her happy when people tell her that they didn’t use to like cooking, but now they do! (1:05:00)
- Stay away from grain-free items such as cassava and tapioca flours and starches and they will mess with your goals. (1:06:00)
