  • Discussing processed foods and certifications. (30:00)
  • The difference between “processed” and “ultra-processed” foods.
  • Anna’s products are minimally processed, meaning they blend simple ingredients without fillers or chemicals.

  • Many people think they only eat 20% ultra-processed foods, but it may be as much as 70%. (33:00)
  • There is nothing factual in the “nutritional panel” on most packaged foods, because the numbers are often tweaked. (36:30)
  • There is more accuracy in reading the ingredients list.

  • The NSNG® VIP GROUP IS NOW CLOSED AGAIN AS OF SUNDAY, MARCH 15TH

A Healthy Resolution

  • Anna is cooking in this episode, so if you want to watch the Queen of the Kitchen do her magic, please go to YouTube. (2:30)   http://@FitnessConfidential Podcast
  • Part of this episode is about resolutions; Vinnie’s resolution to build a train set is underway, and he’s confident it will be done before the end of December this year.
  • Anna is cooking her low-carb stuffing, made with almond flour instead of dried bread. (7:30)
  • Vinnie has had back pain for years. (10:00)
    • His back problems started after he began his career in ultra-cycling. (16:00)
    • He used to go to a therapist for muscle release.
    • This is not a paid endorsement, but he recommends “The Hook” by Aletha.
    • It can reach into the tighter areas around your hip bones and release knots in muscles like the psoas and iliacus.
  • Egg Nog recipe (30:30)
    • It’s a good idea to avoid heavy cream with additives. If you can, get straight heavy cream.
    • Anna demonstrates the best way to make the eggnog from scratch.
  • One of Vinnie’s resolutions this year has to do with fixing his back so he can water ski again.
    • He wants to be able to do the things he used to do when he was younger, such as skiing.
    • He is inspired by an 80+ year old woman who is the oldest person to finish an Ironman.
    • Anna agrees—the importance of mobility and strength as you age can’t be emphasized enough. (42:00)
    • Please find a way to include movement into your life and make it fun!
  • Egg Nog special step—so pay attention (45:45)
    • Placing Saran Wrap gently over the egg nog as it cooks will help prevent a “skin” from forming.
