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” to get more details. The ingredients list shows items in the order of volume; 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.
