(2:00) You have to remind yourself that no one can save you but you; you need to make your own changes. (7:00) Anna relates a story of a woman who has a daughter with epilepsy. (9:00) She explains how the woman's daughter is affected by sugar. Anna offered up information about The Charlie Foundation, as the doctors the woman was taking her daughter to never mentioned dietary changes. Vinnie knows a person who has grand mal seizures and how badly it has affected his life. (15:00) The ketogenic diet has been used to treat epilepsy for over 100 years; however, with medications evolving, people have forgotten about it and its importance in health. What to Eat Eggs! They are easy, convenient, nutrient-dense, and are not just a "breakfast food"! (18:00) Meats: bacon (although Vinnie is not a fan of big company brands because they have a lot of additives). (23:00) Go to a real butcher, if possible. Anna explains the curing process, and they clarify information about nitrates and nitrites. Fattier cuts of meats are good, and Vinnie explains different fats. (29:00) Your body needs cholesterol—if you don't have enough, it will make it, that's how important it is. (32:00) Saturated fats are fine. Hydrogenated fats and Trans-fats are chemically created and damaging to your body. Seed oils are bad because because the process of extraction makes them toxic. (37:00) Cold-pressed are not typically bad because the extraction doesn't involve all the dangerous chemicals. Dr Cate Shanahan's book "Dark Calories" helps explain this. (39:00) Meats! Anna gives a ton of ideas about various types of meat. (41:00) Keep 4-7 days' worth of items in your freezer. That will mean that you always have something on hand. They switch to discussing vegetables. (44:00) They discuss recommended amounts of fruit and vegetables. What is a low-glycemic fruit? (47:00) What about dairy? (50:00) Full-fat dairy is good, like high-fat cheeses and yogurts. But for some people, too much dairy can hinder weight loss. (51:00) And what about eating nuts? Certain kinds are better than others because of their carb content. (52:00) Anna recommends eating a real meal to avoid feeling peckish or snacky all day. (54:30) Write to Anna and Vinnie and let them know if this was helpful! A Bonus Guide Know Your Italian Meats (with a pronunciation guide): "Gravy" – This one is for beginners. When an Italian mentions gravy, don't think of that light or dark brown sauce you have with your roast beef or Thanksgiving turkey. Gravy = red sauce. "Proshoot" does not refer to a marksman with a rifle or pistol but a favorite Italian meat – prosciutto. Walk into an Italian deli and ask for "proshuuto" and they'll instantly peg you as non-Italian. Ask for "proshoot," and they'll peg you for a non-Italian trying to fake it! "Gabagool" is capicola (another Italian meat). Of the eight letters in capicola, only the a and the o make an appearance in "gabagool." "Breejole" – Braciole. "Panchetta" – Pancetta More News Don't forget to check out Serena Scott Thomas on Days Of Our Lives on the Peacock channel. "Dirty Keto" is finally available on Amazon!
