Eat Happy
Anna Vocino's Eat Happy Cookbook (cover)
In 2002, Vocino had changed her diet after finding out she had Celiac disease. Ten years after living a gluten free diet, she realized she had been gaining weight. After doing some research, she found that her diet contained too much sugar and grains in her comfort foods.
She adopted her entire way of eating to do what her podcasting partner Vinnie Tortorich coined NSNG - No Sugars No Grains. Soon thereafter, the weight dropped off and the inflammation reduced.
This inspired her to create her own website dedicated to creating and showcasing gluten free, grain free, and low-carb recipes.
In 2016, she published a cookbook entitled Eat Happy: Gluten Free, Grain Free, Low Carb Recipes For A Joyful Life.
