Reading Food Labels 101

  • Anna loves her Owala water bottle. (2:00)
    • If you are interested, it is available on Amazon and through Vinnie’s link: https://amzn.to/3DebbSz OWALLA 32 OZ FREE SIP.
  • The “healthy at any size” movement is being debunked. Morbid obesity is not healthy, and people who are struggling with their weight and health should know they have value; and that’s why Vinnie and Anna want to help. (10:00)
  • Vinnie understands why people want to take GLP-1, but he doesn’t think it’s a good idea because of its side effects.
    • He also doesn’t want people to believe that’s the only way they can lose weight.
  • People can lose a great amount of weight by going NSNG®, or low carb, and not be messing with negative side effects. (13:00)
  • Right below the nutritional panel (NFP) is the ingredients list. (25:30)
    • The “facts” listed on the “nutritional facts panel” are not necessarily facts since they can be manipulated. (27:30)
    • They are allowed a margin of error, but it’s a wide one.
  • “Net carbs” is another misrepresentation and trickery. (34:30)
    • Watch Vinnie’s documentary, “Dirty Keto,” for more details.
  • The ingredients list shows items in the order of volume; the item with the most volume is listed first.
  • The front of food packages can claim anything for marketing purposes. (42:00)
  • Stick to one ingredient foods, like whole, natural foods, that are NSNG®, and you will never have to worry about it.
  • Always read the label on packaged foods! (49:00)
  • Anna reads the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) for nutritional panels for a food manufacturer to be able to claim “no carb” (52:45)
  • There is a margin of error that allows a company to claim no or low carb, but it actually *does* have carbs.
  • Anna will be reporting from the upcoming Food Show!
