You CAN eat out and stay NSNG® compliant. Avoid many sauces and dressings. For salad, get olive oil! That's all you need.

Don't feel left out if your friends or family is eating these things. You are being healthy! FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now! We need people to buy and review for it to stay at the top o

There really isn't any evidence to support this. Someone who wanted to sell his commercial breakfast drinks put some money behind this myth to help his own business. Coffee has benefits, including for children! Vinnie started drinking coffee at 4pm. UNHEALTHY OILS You need to be careful with the oils you and your children are consuming.. A lot of "extra virgin olive oil" is not what you think it is. There are websites on which you can check the quality of the olive oil you buy. Villa Cappelli is the real thing. Avoid things like canola oil and similar seed oils. Lots of vitamins contain these oils. Look for options that use healthy oils, li

As restrictions begin to loosen, get back into your swing of things if you fell out during quarantine. NEW NAMES FOR SUGAR "Raisin-juice concentrate" was actually on the back of a packet.

This is more a marketing sham than anything else. Just like "breakfast is the most important meal of the day," which was made up by a breakfast foods company! Literally, Kellogg did this.

Definitely be careful to avoid shin splints. If you change surfaces or your strike, this can cause shin splints. Try to make sure your butt is underneath you. If other parts of you hurt, think about whether it's because the parts that aren't hurting are simply stronger. When you start a new exercise, start slow and then slow down a bit. Don't roll out your muscles or bands for too long. This can actually be damaging. Vinnie recommends yoga balls to roll. Some soreness is okay–it means you're using those muscles, but you should never be in a lot of pain. Plus, if you're in a lot of pain you're less l
