Summary
You know that feeling when your stomach turns into a bottomless pit?
Even if you read food labels like a hawk, sneaky appetite-stimulating ingredients can be lurking in spices, sauces and other foods without ever being included on the label.
In fact, there are a number of ingredients food manufacturers aren't required to disclose that might jeopardize your ability to moderate food intake.
So if you've ever found yourself mindlessly shoveling evermore food into your mouth without satisfying your hunger, propelling you into a vicious cycle of overeating, crashing and feeling wobbly for the rest of the day, this is the show for you.
After teaching people how to make delicious food from scratch for many years, today's guest is starting a food revolution with her real food sauce and spice company, and she’s here to share unique insights into what exactly food manufacturers are hiding in widely available store-bought foods.
Returning to the show is the wonderful and talented Anna Vocino, a best-selling cookbook author, voice-over talent, stand-up comic and co-host of the Fitness Confidential podcast with our friend, Vinnie Tortorich. Anna has voiced thousands of commercials, cartoons, movies, promos, radio stations, and video games, which is her super cool day job to support her passion of food blogging and cookbook authoring.
In this conversation with Anna Vocino, we're chatting about:
- The surprising truth about what's NOT listed on ingredient labels
- Why the simplicity of “No Sugars, No Grains” works out so well for so many people
- Why we should buy from our local farmers as much as possible
- What continuous glucose monitoring experiments revealed about fried dry starches vs boiled starches
- Anna's homemade Magic Bullion recipe for a delicious, clean flavor-starter
- How to say “no” when robots try to take our jobs away (it's already happening)
- And tons more…
