- 0:40When talking to new clients, specifically ones who have done fad diets in the
- 0:44past, one of the main worries they have is about cooking or,
- 0:49quote, how do I have to eat?
- 0:52In our program, we teach our ladies how to make their normal foods fit,
- 0:56but some ladies do want to learn how to cook better for their overall health and weight loss.
- 1:02Cooking for weight loss does not have to look like hours upon hours spent meal
- 1:06prepping or using random ingredients you have never heard of.
- 1:10It can be done by making just a few simple switches and having some tools in
- 1:15your toolbox that help it all seem easier.
- 1:18Today, I'm sharing my top three ways to cook for weight loss. Let's dive in.
- 1:24All right, y'all. So I'm excited about this one. This is where I geek out a little bit.
- 1:29I do not know if you follow us on social or even just listening to our interviews
- 1:35on the podcast from current clients,
- 1:37but one of the things that I am really, you know, known for and loved for inside
- 1:43the program is the recipes, okay?
- 1:46And so I like to take, now, you know, if you've been listening for a while,
- 1:49you know, I'm from Mississippi, baby.
- 1:51And I like to take Southern style recipes and make them lighter, okay?
- 1:57And so my overall goal with each one of my recipes is to make sure that we cut
- 2:03the calories and the fat, you know, and the carbs sometimes where we can, right?
- 2:08But the overall goal is to keep the same flavor, okay?
- 2:13So sometimes these recipes could be cut even further, but I choose not to because
- 2:18I believe that in order to want to stick to a lighter, healthier way of eating,
- 2:23it still has to taste good, right?
- 2:25And so with that, it's just, it's one of my favorite parts about what I do is
- 2:31just making things lighter and still taste good.
- 2:35But what I have noticed is,
- 2:37a lot of people don't get down with that the way that I do.
- 2:41Cooking differently for weight loss can really stress people out.
- 2:47A lot of ladies come to us used to following rules, following checklists,
- 2:52following a prescribed meal plan.
- 2:55It can feel really overwhelming in general to follow those things,
- 3:00but even more so when we're kind of like, no, hey, kind of cook how you want
- 3:04to cook and, you know, eat how you want to eat and just lighten it up.
- 3:06And so today I am going to lay out my three requirements for kind of having
- 3:13a better understanding around how to cook when you are trying to cook for weight loss.
- 3:19Now, I will say a lot of our ladies are able to keep their staple home meals
- 3:24without really altering them very much.
- 3:28And so that is definitely an option. But again, we have lots of ladies that
- 3:32just want to know about cooking healthier and how that looks and then cooking
- 3:35for their weight loss. And so that's what we're going to talk about today.
- 3:38So my first requirement is defining what healthy cooking means to you.
- 3:45Okay, y'all, with the internet has come so much language around healthy cooking.
- 3:55Okay, it depends on the Instagram account you're following.
- 3:59You know, that tells you what is good for you, what is bad for you,
- 4:03what to cut, what kind of, you know, I was, I was laughing this morning.
- 4:06I was looking at some reel that popped up on my Instagram and she was like,
- 4:10it's gluten free or it was like Costco snacks.
- 4:13And she was like, healthy Costco snacks that I found, you know, whatever, but.
- 4:17And she was, you know, doing a scroll of all of them. And she labeled them gluten-free,
- 4:22dairy-free and clean ingredients.
- 4:24Okay, cool. Like that could be defined as healthy, right?
- 4:28If it's gluten-free and dairy-free and clean ingredients for some people,
- 4:32right? If that's the kind of food you're looking for.
- 4:35But it was also things like sweet potato chips that were still cooked in oil,
- 4:41you know, and a nut butter.
- 4:44Yeah, it wasn't a peanut butter, but it was a nut butter. and so it still had
- 4:47the same amount of calories as peanut butter does.
- 4:50And so somebody who doesn't understand that gluten-free, dairy-free,
- 4:55and clean ingredients may not mean lower calorie help you with your weight loss
- 5:00could be really overwhelmed, right?
- 5:03And so you are the only person that can define what healthy cooking is gonna look like for you, okay?
- 5:12Some people think it's gonna be, you know, no starch, okay? Or right,
- 5:15or like what I mentioned, the clean ingredients or no sugar, okay?
- 5:19But just like I gave you this example, cooking in those ways don't necessarily
- 5:23mean that it's weight loss friendly, okay?
- 5:26Clean ingredients don't mean or don't always mean less calories, right?
- 5:31Sometimes because when the ingredients are clean, that means,
- 5:35you know, they're pretty much coming from natural sources.
- 5:38They may actually be more calories than some of these low fat,
- 5:42no fat infused with, you know, chemical kind of ingredients out there nowadays,
- 5:47you know, because if you think about it, that was the demand.
- 5:51The demand was low fat or low fat, low calories.
- 5:54And so now they have found all these like ways to make foods in labs or ingredients in labs.
- 6:02And so, yeah, it takes some of the calories out, right?
- 6:05And so if you're searching for clean ingredients, you may be adding some of
- 6:10those naturally occurring calories back in, okay?
- 6:14And so we have to decide what cooking for weight loss or what healthy cooking
- 6:21is going to look like for us and for our family, right?
- 6:26And it may take some trial and error here, you know?
- 6:30And of course, my ladies who are listening, if you have diabetes,
- 6:34sis, you know, you're gonna have to cut back on the starches, Right.
- 6:37Also, my ladies, you know, with celiac, like, you know, you you need to be choosing gluten free.
- 6:41But for those of you who are just literally like I am trying to lose a pound
- 6:45and I am so overwhelmed with how to cook because I'm seeing so much weight.
- 6:50Low-carb, high-protein, gluten-free, dairy-free stuff out there,
- 6:55it's like, what do I choose?
- 6:56You know, my biggest recommendation for you would be to define cooking for weight
- 7:02loss as this, okay, and only this for now. It can always evolve, right?
- 7:07Start where you are, not where you want to be, but I will say I have started
- 7:11where I was and I have pretty much stayed where I was with the way I cook in
- 7:14the kitchen. It's this, okay?
- 7:16Keeping your cooking pretty much the same as always, y'all, because you know,
- 7:22you know as well as I do that when we set out to make a change,
- 7:26you know, any change, it's always going to be the first thing to go whenever
- 7:31life hits us hard, right?
- 7:33And so we want to keep your weight loss journey as low stress as possible.
- 7:38So literally googling weight loss recipes and finding all these recipes that
- 7:44have not only like ingredients you've never heard of,
- 7:47but also like just the entire recipe is something you've never tasted. Like that is stressful.
- 7:54Okay, so my biggest recommendation here is to just do your best cooking the
- 8:00way you already cook, especially if you have a family.
- 8:04Okay, especially if you've got picky people in your lives, right?
- 8:07So what this means is if you cook spaghetti every week, okay,
- 8:12for your family, could you switch the beef to lean beef, okay?
- 8:17Could you maybe cut your noodles portion and increase that beef,
- 8:22you know, and so increasing your protein, cutting the starch just a little bit,
- 8:27keep you some noodles, right?
- 8:29Maybe don't add the extra spoonful of sugar that some of us Southern girls add,
- 8:34you know, maybe put a salad on the side with it to give you a little extra fiber
- 8:39to fill you up so that you don't go back for that second portion of noodles.
- 8:44Okay, same thing. Tacos.
- 8:46Cook your family some tacos, sis. Okay. And there's nothing wrong with the normal shells.
- 8:51But if you wanted to stretch it a little further, you could find some of those
- 8:54lower carb shells, but they still have, you know, carbs in them.
- 8:58Or you could say, this is how I do it. I typically have like one or two regular, like hard tacos.
- 9:05But then if I'm feeling extra hungry that night, I will also do a side of like a taco bowl.
- 9:11Or sometimes I've even just done the taco bowl and like really filled it up
- 9:14with all the good filling things, lots of in the meat, obviously, as well.
- 9:18But then I will crumble some of the tortilla chips on top to give me,
- 9:24you know, still give me the taco vibe, right?
- 9:26I'm not trying to not have a tortilla chip when it's taco night,
- 9:31because that's miserable.
- 9:32But just what are some ways that you can alter the things that you already eat, okay.
- 9:39That will that will make it feel less overwhelming
- 9:43and less likely for you
- 9:45to quit and go and say in a stressful week
- 9:48turn around and say screw this I'm just gonna go back to the way I've been
- 9:51cooking we're gonna have you know full fat you know I don't know chicken spaghetti
- 9:56or whatever it may be okay so that is my first requirement my second okay is
- 10:03make it easy this is again this is like, it's wild.
- 10:10It's wild. Okay, so make it easy.
- 10:13It does not have to require 12 steps, right?
- 10:16So first of all, though, I want to encourage you to organize your kitchen in
- 10:20a way that makes you want to be in there, okay?
- 10:22Get rid of the things that are not being used and in order to make room for
- 10:28the things that you do use to keep a peaceful kitchen.
- 10:32Y'all, if your kitchen stresses you out just walking in there, we got a problem. Okay.
- 10:38So this was me up until like the past few years, right?
- 10:42I just, oh, y'all, I am like a recovering hoarder.
- 10:45I mean, I just, I want to keep everything, but you know, that's not good for my anxiety.
- 10:52So I'm really working on getting rid of things constantly.
- 10:55And so one area that I do this in, in my life is the kitchen.
- 10:59And so I regularly inventory our food.
- 11:02You know, of course, that's to prevent some waste, but also,
- 11:05you know, to prevent clutter in the pantry because, you know,
- 11:08if you've got good food and it's shoved to the back of the pantry,
- 11:10you're not going to know about it till it's expired, you know,
- 11:13and you're cleaning things out.
- 11:14But also, I regularly inventory utensils, okay, to just ensure that my flow
- 11:20in the kitchen is as easy as it can be and not stressful, okay?
- 11:24So, we'll, of course, do the pantry, but I will also do, like, pans.
- 11:28Pans you know I will say I am I'm probably
- 11:31an outlier for this but I do because of my food
- 11:34photography stuff and because I do just love to cook
- 11:36so much I'm constantly buying like pans or gadgets or things that I just think
- 11:41are cute for a photo or whatever and so yeah they they serve their purpose but
- 11:45then I'm constantly saying okay can I get rid of this now like when was the
- 11:48last time I used this pan but same with the utensil drawer y'all oh my gosh
- 11:52it seems like my whole life, our utensil drawer,
- 11:56like something snags it when I try to close it.
- 11:59And so it is my life's goal, you know, to make sure that does not continue to
- 12:03happen. So I'm always trying to pull out things we don't use or something we have double of.
- 12:08And, you know, if I'm not throwing it away, then I'm putting it up in the attic
- 12:11until I need, you know, another ice cream scoop because we already got two, you know what I mean?
- 12:16And so yeah, this may mean sucks, but this may mean you have to part with some
- 12:20of the kitchen utensils that you got like for your wedding.
- 12:23And it was 15 years ago and the blade on the pizza cutters probably don't anyway.
- 12:28You know, like that's why you got that new pizza cutter that's in there that
- 12:31you always grab first. You know, that may mean you have to just get rid of it.
- 12:37Okay. Or you know what else?
- 12:38It may mean you got to get rid of some of that junk that, you know,
- 12:41TikTok just promised you was going to be a life changer. may have to get rid of it, you know?
- 12:46But what I will say is after you do, you will feel more comfortable.
- 12:52You will more readily want to get in the kitchen, number one,
- 12:56and number two, move well in the kitchen so that it doesn't feel like uncomfortable and stressful.
- 13:03Also, I would encourage creating a system that makes sense.
- 13:06Okay, so yes, while Pinterest and again, TikTok and all the things have like
- 13:10some really great organization tricks or hacks or, you know,
- 13:14they're just really cute or whatever.
- 13:16They're not all like real life friendly, number one, but they may not be you friendly, number two.
- 13:23And a prime example of this for me was when we were building our house.
- 13:27Everyone told me, I mean, everyone told me that I needed one of those like deep, but narrow.
- 13:36Like deep, but skinny drawers on the side of my oven to pull out that had spices in it. Okay.
- 13:44And they were like, this is what you need, you know? And so it was like,
- 13:47basically it would run from the counter to the floor as far as depth.
- 13:52And it was skinny and you would just stick your little spices bottles or your
- 13:55little olive oil bottles or whatever in there. And y'all, I had so many friends who had them.
- 13:59And I just, I move so fast in the kitchen.
- 14:03Like I am, you know, it's why it's why this week I busted an entire glass bottle
- 14:09of olive oil all over my floor because I just moved too fast.
- 14:12And I just knew this was going to get in my way. Like having this spice drawer
- 14:16open and having to bend over and like look at it, you know, sideways whilst
- 14:22anyway, it was not my jam.
- 14:24And so the best thing I did was not listen to anybody, not look at all the Pinterest
- 14:29inspo and created a spice system for myself that is different,
- 14:34but it works for me. Okay.
- 14:37And so just thinking about that, like what systems would be,
- 14:41you know, another thing is like a fancy pots and pans, like insert or like a
- 14:46fancy pots and pans on or like who is realistically like organizing their pots and pans that way?
- 14:52No, like I have to just put mine down in a drawer and close that drawer and keep moving. And so I'm,
- 14:56thinking about what that might look like for you. What might need to be switched
- 15:00around or changed up to just create a more comfortable flow for you in the kitchen.
- 15:06Okay, so then my third recommendation here, my third requirement is to have
- 15:11a plan. Okay, and this is where we're about to go a little deeper.
- 15:14Okay, y'all know I am all about a meal plan.
- 15:18Like I love meal plans. I meal plan every week. We encourage all of our ladies
- 15:22to meal plan. Like it is a thing.
- 15:23Okay, but when trying to do new things in the kitchen, when trying to step into
- 15:29something that is not comfortable,
- 15:32the biggest mistake that people make is trying to execute all your ideas at one time.
- 15:39Okay. Having a plan, like having a plan for the week is extremely different
- 15:45than having a grandiose plan that you copied from somebody on social media that
- 15:51includes 59 steps and 100 new ingredients. Okay.
- 15:56And that's what people don't want a meal plan because that's what they think
- 15:58it is. They think, oh, I got to go on Pinterest. I got to find all these new recipe ideas.
- 16:02Then I got to go to the grocery store and figure out where I can find, you know, quinoa.
- 16:06And then I got to go eat all the things. And it's stressful because sure,
- 16:11it sounds good in theory.
- 16:12But then when you go to execute it, it takes up your entire life to execute this plan.
- 16:17Okay. And this reason alone is why it can feel so heavy and so resentful when
- 16:24you think back on like past diets you may have tried that were really, you know.
- 16:30Not your normal day to day kind of lifestyle, right?
- 16:34And it's because they likely encouraged major focus on altering ingredients
- 16:40or altering your meal prep life or altering your meal plan life or altering
- 16:46even like your exercise life, right?
- 16:49Like if it feels like a lot, if it feels heavy to execute, we are going to stop executing it.
- 16:58We are going to find a reason to quit, right?
- 17:02Having a plan does not mean meal prepping a hundred different things on Sunday.
- 17:08Having a plan does not mean meal prepping a single thing, okay?
- 17:13Meal prep is a great idea for those who feel like they need it to keep their
- 17:18sanity throughout the week.
- 17:19But if not, we don't have to meal prep a thing around here, you know?
- 17:24And so I encourage a plan.
- 17:27And so part of that plan can include the way you normally cook too.
- 17:32So this is the thing. this is the thing for me. I love to try new recipes.
- 17:36I am always trying new recipes. And again, that makes me that I'm an outlier
- 17:41here, probably because again, food is my love language.
- 17:45But also, it's my job, right? Like it's my job to constantly be creating new recipe ideas.
- 17:52And so the way I get inspiration is trying like.
- 17:57Any random recipe, trying to cook it. Okay.
- 18:00And then also eating new things at restaurants. Like that's how I get inspiration.
- 18:04And so I have to be constantly trying new things, but also I just really love to do it.
- 18:09But I have learned with myself, I am speaking from like,
- 18:14I am speaking from a place of experience here because I have learned not to
- 18:20set out to try like three or four or five new recipes all in one week.
- 18:25Because girl, by Friday, not even by Friday, by Wednesday, I am D for done.
- 18:30I am like, I am not, you know, with my kids on my heels, hollering my name,
- 18:35just trying to talk to me about his day.
- 18:37I am not about to try to figure out how this recipe goes and what I'm supposed to be doing.
- 18:42You know what I'm talking about. When you try a new recipe, it just feels a
- 18:45little more overwhelming, a little more distracting.
- 18:48Like you cannot multitask, Lord have mercy. We ain't supposed to be multitasking
- 18:52anyway, but you sure cannot multitask when you're trying to cook,
- 18:54you know, a new meal that you're not familiar with.
- 18:58And so it's the same for me as it is that I'm about to tell you.
- 19:02If you are trying to cook differently, you know, specifically for weight loss,
- 19:06pick one new recipe a week.
- 19:08Okay. One new recipe a week and preferably earlier in the week,
- 19:12if you like me and you are done by Friday.
- 19:14Okay. So that would look like you keeping your standard meal plans or your standard,
- 19:21you know, whatever, however else you cook the rest of the week.
- 19:24But you just say on Monday, I'm going to try this, you know,
- 19:29poppy seed chicken recipe that Constance put out here, you know,
- 19:32or, you know, on Tuesday even, but then, but, but the rest of the week,
- 19:36we're going to go back to mama's normal jarred spaghetti recipe.
- 19:39We're going to go back to grilled cheese night. We're going to go back to breakfast for dinner.
- 19:43You know, you're going to go back to the normal things.
- 19:45And then you just slowly get comfortable with this switch that you're trying to make.
- 19:52Okay. And I know that feels like, you know, then your end goal would be a million
- 19:56miles away by taking it a little bit slower like that.
- 20:00But the truth of the matter is you will stick to it so much longer.
- 20:05So in the end, you will actually have gained a lot more knowledge,
- 20:10a lot more comfortability, and obviously a lot more consistent of a weight loss routine than.
- 20:18Going hard for two weeks straight. And then, you know, your kid gets sick and
- 20:22you just say, oh, forget this. We're going back to the old way and I'll try
- 20:25again maybe next year, you know, like a lot of us tend to do.
- 20:28Okay. And then also another thing that I am a huge supporter of is taking it in steps. Okay.
- 20:37So, so again, even still, like if you're going to try one or two new weight
- 20:42loss recipes next week, I would start thinking about it maybe now.
- 20:48Okay, so let me explain what I'm talking about. So preparing ahead of time helps
- 20:53you to not feel so overwhelmed when that time actually comes.
- 20:57So this is a practice that I have adopted a few years ago.
- 21:01And each year I get better at it. And each year I do it in more areas of my life.
- 21:08Okay. And it's called batch batching.
- 21:11Okay. So you thinking about, you know, making batches of muffins for your kids, right?
- 21:15Like you would not get up and make one blueberry muffin every single morning
- 21:20for your kids to take to school or take for breakfast, right?
- 21:23You would not do that. We make a batch.
- 21:25Okay. We either make a dozen, two dozen, or some of us get real serious and
- 21:30we make like four or five dozen and then we put them in the freezer.
- 21:33Okay. This is just an example. If you don't make blueberry muffins.
- 21:35Okay. But we put them in the freezer. We batch them.
- 21:38And then what? We have those muffins available for four to five weeks from now
- 21:43to just pull out the freezer, thaw out, send with little Susie on the way to school. Okay.
- 21:48So it needs to be the same for your thaw process in the kitchen so that it doesn't get overwhelmed.
- 21:54There are people in my life, and I literally, if you're listening to this, I do not understand you.
- 22:00If you are one of these people, Well, I, I do not, I literally,
- 22:05I cannot, but there are people who do not plan for the week.
- 22:09Every single day, they say, I'll figure out what we're going to have for dinner today at some point.
- 22:14And then some point throughout the day, they find a recipe or they come up with
- 22:18an idea and then they stop at the grocery store on the way home and get what
- 22:21they need for dinner that night.
- 22:22And then they do it again the next day and the next day and the next day.
- 22:26And I do not understand this, y'all, because that is so much extra brain work.
- 22:30That is so much extra exhaustion and thought.
- 22:33And I'm like, you are a much better person than me because I would be hitting
- 22:37up Sonic, you know, most days of the week if that was the case, which I do.
- 22:41Honestly, I do feel like that happens a lot for those people that do operate
- 22:45that way, because sometimes you're just tired and you don't want to go to the
- 22:47grocery store by the end of a long work day or you don't want to Google a recipe
- 22:51by the end of a long work day.
- 22:53And so Chick-fil-A or Sonic sounds real good to you, right?
- 22:57But anyway, so I like to batch things. I batch these podcast episodes.
- 23:01I batch a lot of our posting on the internet, you know, for the program.
- 23:06I batch so many things in my life, okay?
- 23:10But with that being said, you can also batch your planning, okay?
- 23:17So what I mean is, first, you would take maybe like once a month, okay?
- 23:22You could spend about 30 minutes. If you were trying to find new recipe ideas,
- 23:26if you were wanting to spice it up a little bit, you know, in your meal rotation,
- 23:29you would take about 30 minutes and search for recipes.
- 23:32You could say, literally set a timer and say, this is my recipe searching time for February, okay?
- 23:37Search them. Put them somewhere you can find them. Do not keep them all open
- 23:41in your browser or, you know, put them, like, copy their links and paste them
- 23:46in a note on your phone and just have them all there, okay?
- 23:49Or if you still do, you know, a lot of Pinteresting, put them in a Pinterest
- 23:52folder, okay? Or if you're one of my clients and you know all about our favorite
- 23:56little meal planning app, go ahead and upload them to Paprika3, okay?
- 24:00And so that's number one, right? And that's it.
- 24:04You don't tomorrow find more or next week find more. If you happen to come across
- 24:10one, sure, you can add it to the list.
- 24:12But the point is, is that you don't need to be spending every other day trying
- 24:16to figure out new recipes to cook.
- 24:17Because again, that overworks your brain. It makes it feel more overwhelming.
- 24:22So you say, these are the 30 minutes. These are what I found. Boom, done.
- 24:26Okay, then each week, pick a day.
- 24:31First of all, look at your week ahead. Okay, when is Johnny's soccer game?
- 24:37When is Susie's ballet practice? Is your husband going to be in town?
- 24:41Do you have a late meeting? Like, look at these things because it matters,
- 24:45right? It matters when you get down to the end of the day.
- 24:49And then plan your meals, okay?
- 24:52Pull one or two from your new, you know, recipe ideas that you found.
- 24:58Plug in where else, you know, if you need to hit the drive-thru one night because
- 25:01the ball's going to be late.
- 25:03Or if you're going to a friend's house one night, like all that, plug it all in, okay?
- 25:08And make your plan for the week. Now, in our program, we meal plan on Thursdays.
- 25:13Everybody does it, okay, for the following week. Because again, that gives you space.
- 25:17That gives you space between the time you set the plan and the time you have
- 25:22to go to the grocery store.
- 25:23Meal planning and going to the grocery store on the same day can feel really
- 25:27overwhelming. It can feel really stressful.
- 25:29Just, you know, you feel like your whole day is thinking about food and you're
- 25:32like, here I am trying not to think
- 25:33about food because I'm trying to lose weight and look at me, you know?
- 25:36And so also we like it on Thursdays because things can change over,
- 25:40things can change between the time you meal plan and the time you actually shop for the grocery.
- 25:45So that usually gives people some wiggle room.
- 25:47Okay, then you gather the grocery list and you go shopping.
- 25:52Okay, whenever that may be for you, it may be Friday, Saturday,
- 25:55Sunday, Monday, I don't know.
- 25:56Okay, but gather the grocery list. Now, I do have a handful of ladies who will
- 26:00do two weeks at a time or a month at a time. Again, if meal planning is brand
- 26:04new to you and it sounds really overwhelming, let's just stick with one week. And I will also say...
- 26:10When I meal plan each week, I always leave a day completely.
- 26:14Our weekends, I always leave open, right?
- 26:18And I leave a day where it's completely blank because there's either going to
- 26:21be leftovers or I know something's going to come up and I may have to move Tuesday's
- 26:25casserole to Thursday or, you know, so I always leave a day.
- 26:28And that's simply just to make sure I'm not wasting food.
- 26:30You know, ingredients go in bad because, you know, we didn't realize just,
- 26:36I mean, this week was a prime example. we thought we were going to a ball game
- 26:40on Tuesday, but it ended up being on Monday.
- 26:42And then Tuesday ended up being open because I did. Anyway, all that to say,
- 26:46like I would have had food wasted if I hadn't have left a blank day open.
- 26:51So keeping that mentality of,
- 26:57breaking it down into like chunks instead of trying to think about all your
- 27:02meal plans and all your foods and all your ingredients and all your things, you know,
- 27:06all the new recipes you're trying to find all at one time can really help you
- 27:09to just feel like, okay, this isn't that bad.
- 27:12And it can also make you feel more clear on the week too, instead of just kind
- 27:17of like your brain's about to explode.
- 27:19So that's all I had for today. Just like my top three requirements when trying
- 27:25to maybe lean more into cooking for weight loss.
