Summary

Episode 2616 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino give you a lesson in Reading Food Labels 101, trickery in marketing and labeling, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/03/reading-food-labels-101-episode-2616 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast 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" 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. Anna will be reporting from the upcoming Food Show!
