Hey there, sunshine.
00:00:01.383 --> 00:00:03.829
Welcome to the Power On Plants podcast.
00:00:03.829 --> 00:00:13.509
We're your host, jared and Anita Roussell, and we're absolutely head over heels for whole plant foods and helping you navigate this incredible plant based journey.
00:00:13.509 --> 00:00:18.405
That's because our lives have been completely changed by plant based goodness.
00:00:18.405 --> 00:00:31.060
We used to struggle every day with excess pounds and low energy, vascular disease, joint pain and lack of sleep, just to name a few, and even though we're medical professionals, we still weren't getting practical answers that actually worked.
00:00:31.060 --> 00:00:39.506
So we dug into the research, we started living what we learned, and now we both have our lives back, and that's what we want for you, too.
00:00:39.506 --> 00:00:43.042
The truth is, you can do this, and it's not hard.
00:00:43.042 --> 00:00:47.472
You just need a way that will bring real and lasting change, and that path.
00:00:47.472 --> 00:00:51.414
It has to be simple and enjoyable, and it's got to be delicious too.
00:00:51.414 --> 00:00:54.223
So are you ready to live your life to the fullest?
00:00:54.223 --> 00:00:59.804
Then you're in the right place, because living without limits that's what Power On Plants is all about.
00:00:59.804 --> 00:01:04.783
So pull up your chair, grab a matchelite and let's get started.
00:01:04.783 --> 00:01:08.629
Well, hello there, sunshine.
00:01:08.689 --> 00:01:25.031
Today we are talking about something that is so interesting because here's the thing I know a lot of you are struggling with weight and the frustrating thing about that is I mean, jared and I know how frustrating this can be One of the biggest things is when you're eating what you feel like is healthy.
00:01:25.031 --> 00:01:34.962
I mean, we did this for years and when we started eating the right way, we lost over 70 pounds together without even really trying to lose weight, just because we started eating the right way.
00:01:34.962 --> 00:01:44.743
And one of the most frustrating things is you're out at a restaurant, you're eating out often and you're sitting by a family member or a friend who's eating something that you're just drooling over.
00:01:44.743 --> 00:01:45.706
I mean, you're looking at it.
00:01:45.706 --> 00:01:48.665
They've got this big ol' lasagna on their plate.
00:01:48.665 --> 00:01:53.701
They've got a big fat juicy steak on their plate with french fries.
00:01:53.721 --> 00:01:57.430
A big ol' greasy burger with cheese and lord knows what else.
00:01:57.531 --> 00:01:58.361
And you're just good.
00:01:58.361 --> 00:02:01.816
All you do is order the salad, but you still can't drop the weight.
00:02:01.816 --> 00:02:05.512
You know it makes you feel almost angry because you're sitting there.
00:02:05.512 --> 00:02:07.198
I'm eating salads every time.
00:02:07.198 --> 00:02:08.683
Why am I not losing weight?
00:02:08.683 --> 00:02:11.675
And so we're going to touch on salads today.
00:02:11.675 --> 00:02:26.625
When you eat out at a restaurant, what you may not understand is many times that salad has as much or more fat and calories than your neighbor's food that you felt was drool worthy, but you refuse to eat it because you want to be healthier.
00:02:26.625 --> 00:02:29.862
We not only want to open your eyes to this, we want you to understand.
00:02:29.862 --> 00:02:32.453
How do you build a healthier salad?
00:02:32.453 --> 00:02:39.151
How do you make it something that you can actually eat and make it delicious when you're going out to eat or when you're in your own home?
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.330
Because right now you're probably sitting there thinking but it's salad, I mean salad.
00:02:43.330 --> 00:02:47.215
The word instantly takes a thousand calories off of it right, I mean.
00:02:47.215 --> 00:02:59.068
I could take a hamburger salad and that's healthy, right, so you're taking this, but you may not realize where the landmines are, where the sabotage is, and we want to open your eyes to that.
00:02:59.379 --> 00:03:11.359
Or maybe you're eating your steak, or you're eating your burger and you're getting a side salad and you're thinking well, you know what I eat really well, I mean, I eat my vegetables every day, but that salad is not going to undo all the damage of the burger.
00:03:11.359 --> 00:03:18.149
We talk about this all the time and I call it the double whammy effect, like it's a two fold problem that requires a two fold answer.
00:03:18.149 --> 00:03:21.966
So you can't just get rid of the things that are sabotaging your health.
00:03:21.966 --> 00:03:23.211
Yes, that's super important.
00:03:23.211 --> 00:03:36.724
That's step number one, but the immediate step that needs to follow right after that, with each thing you set aside, that you choose to set aside for your health, you've got to replace it with the thing that you're going to love just as much or even more.
00:03:36.724 --> 00:03:39.671
But that's going to love you back, sister.
00:03:39.671 --> 00:03:40.704
It's got to love you back.
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:52.866
But the flip of that, though, is that you may put something in there that's a little bit healthy, but if you're not removing the unhealthy stuff, it's really not necessarily going to undo the damage from that.
00:03:53.066 --> 00:03:53.127
No.
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.568
So you can add a little bit of a little cherry tomato.
00:03:55.568 --> 00:03:59.544
And then now the saturated fats, the cholesterol from that big old steak.
00:03:59.544 --> 00:04:02.731
You don't undo the process there.
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:08.525
And I've just got to say this for our kingdom women who are listening out there this is a biblical principle.
00:04:08.525 --> 00:04:09.549
I mean, think about it.
00:04:09.549 --> 00:04:15.873
Okay, anytime the father steps in and he saves his children from something, think about all the Bible stories, you know.
00:04:15.873 --> 00:04:18.199
Let's just use Exodus for an example.
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:33.081
Okay, so when he brings us out of something, when we come out of the destructive places or the destructive things, he always brings us out to bring us to what's better, to what's best for us.
00:04:33.081 --> 00:04:33.382
Okay.
00:04:33.382 --> 00:04:42.992
So it's never just bringing us out to get us out, it's bringing us out to bring us into our future, our calling, whatever that may be.
00:04:42.992 --> 00:04:54.165
So he's saving us from something to bring us to his ways, his paths, his design for us and, in this case, the foods that he originally created us to eat, which are whole-plate foods.
00:04:54.536 --> 00:04:56.583
Now to expand on that example there.
00:04:56.583 --> 00:05:06.798
So when they left Egypt, the intent was to go to Israel, which was to be a land of blessing Right, but they didn't follow the process of what happened Circled in the desert.
00:05:06.798 --> 00:05:20.764
For 40 years they circled in the desert, the wilderness, which it should have taken them no more than a couple of weeks, but they spent 40 years there because they didn't run from the thing to the better thing.
00:05:20.846 --> 00:05:31.608
Right, they kept circling, circling and circling and not stepping into what he had for them right, and so it's really important that we start taking the steps to get away from those things.
00:05:31.608 --> 00:05:34.338
But you can't if you just try to escape the things.
00:05:34.338 --> 00:05:40.117
What I know happens time and time again is all you can think about is the things you tried to escape.
00:05:40.459 --> 00:05:42.242
Right, Well, and some of the Israelites?
00:05:42.242 --> 00:05:43.607
They wanted to go back to Egypt.
00:05:43.915 --> 00:05:50.026
Right, and then it reminds me of the Veggie Tales movie that we saw based on that, oh, for years ago, was it?
00:05:50.026 --> 00:05:51.298
Paul Grape, he goes.
00:05:51.298 --> 00:05:54.968
I think it was Paul Grape, but we were in slavery.
00:05:55.209 --> 00:05:57.755
I mean, they're bringing up all these great things about it.
00:05:57.755 --> 00:06:01.507
Paul Grape wanted to go back and someone said but we were in slavery.
00:06:01.507 --> 00:06:03.920
And he said nothing's perfect.
00:06:04.180 --> 00:06:05.444
Oh yeah, it was him.
00:06:05.444 --> 00:06:06.226
You're right.
00:06:06.226 --> 00:06:07.951
You remember that all too well.
00:06:08.293 --> 00:06:12.086
Yeah, we didn't have kids when we had that video, so I do remember it all too well.
00:06:13.449 --> 00:06:14.834
But it's the truth, right?
00:06:14.834 --> 00:06:23.560
I mean, we fantasize and we think about all the great things that that thing that I have to give up gave me, like, oh well, I loved meat.
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.788
You know well, meat's filled with parasites and dairy has pus in it.
00:06:27.788 --> 00:06:30.889
Okay, I know you don't want to hear these things, but this is the reality.
00:06:30.889 --> 00:06:32.074
But fish is healthy.
00:06:32.074 --> 00:06:35.107
For me, fish is the most parasite-latent thing you could eat.
00:06:35.107 --> 00:06:37.396
People get worms from it all the time.
00:06:37.396 --> 00:06:41.149
You can have a three-foot tapeworm living in you because of the fish you're eating.
00:06:41.149 --> 00:06:45.401
I don't want to freak you out, but I want you to understand how common this is.
00:06:45.401 --> 00:06:47.427
This is a common problem.
00:06:47.427 --> 00:06:52.115
Almost all fish that is sold, even the wild, caught the ones that you think are the most healthy for you.
00:06:52.115 --> 00:06:53.661
We can do an episode on this.
00:06:53.661 --> 00:07:00.245
I know you aren't going to love us afterwards, but you will if you stop getting parasites, because it will make a huge difference in your health.
00:07:00.634 --> 00:07:03.302
We say this because we care about you.
00:07:03.302 --> 00:07:05.209
Is it easy to bring this message to you?
00:07:05.209 --> 00:07:11.069
No, but we care enough that we want you to know the truth so that you can make good decisions.
00:07:11.069 --> 00:07:12.355
Why is decisions and?
00:07:12.435 --> 00:07:13.175
this is fact.
00:07:13.175 --> 00:07:15.096
It's just fact, but you're not hearing it.
00:07:15.096 --> 00:07:20.004
And you should be hearing it, because these are the things that are going to make all the difference in your health.
00:07:20.004 --> 00:07:25.913
So you can't just order a side salad with your steak or with your burger and expect to be healthy.
00:07:25.913 --> 00:07:29.120
You've got to remove the things that are causing the problem.
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:36.497
But, more importantly, you don't want to just do that, because if you just remove those things, that's all you're going to be thinking about.
00:07:36.838 --> 00:07:42.358
Okay, you've got to get something and put it in the place of that thing that you like just as much or even more.
00:07:42.358 --> 00:07:44.367
That has to do with the actual meal.
00:07:44.367 --> 00:07:47.358
So, if you love chili, you've got to learn how to make chili.
00:07:47.358 --> 00:07:47.759
Okay.
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:49.427
So that's an example of an actual meal.
00:07:49.427 --> 00:07:55.172
But if you loved an ingredient, a certain ingredient, you've got to learn how to replace the ingredients too, Okay.
00:07:55.172 --> 00:07:57.500
So if I liked mayo, I got to learn how to have mayo.
00:07:57.500 --> 00:08:01.519
Now, If I like these sauces that were on my salad, we're going to get into that in just a minute.
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:04.619
But you've got to have those new favorite things.
00:08:04.619 --> 00:08:05.745
What do I replace it with?
00:08:05.745 --> 00:08:07.052
I don't even know how to do this.
00:08:07.052 --> 00:08:07.976
I don't know where to start.
00:08:08.379 --> 00:08:10.528
This is what we do time and again in the membership.
00:08:10.528 --> 00:08:12.699
We take you by the hand and walk you step by step.
00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:20.146
But it all starts here on the podcast, because these are the simple steps that you can take right now to start getting results.
00:08:20.146 --> 00:08:33.908
And so why aren't you losing weight when you go out to eat multiple times a week and you're just ordering salad and you're sitting there kind of hangry because everybody else is eating the good stuff but yet feeling good about what you're doing and yet stepping on the scale and not getting any results.
00:08:33.908 --> 00:08:38.610
It's this vicious cycle and it makes you want to kind of pull your hair out because it doesn't make sense.
00:08:38.610 --> 00:08:47.982
Because you're eating salad, you're eating healthy, and yet you're still struggling with the same old things low energy, brain fog, not feeling good.
00:08:47.982 --> 00:08:49.748
That's worse than the pounds.
00:08:49.748 --> 00:08:53.698
That's worse than the pounds, it's the fact that you just don't feel good.
00:08:53.698 --> 00:08:56.985
And that's why, Jaron, I say this is about your quality of life.
00:08:57.356 --> 00:09:00.456
You can live a long life, but how are you living?
00:09:00.456 --> 00:09:05.750
Are you living well, are you just alive, or are you alive and living Like you said?
00:09:05.750 --> 00:09:08.479
What is the quality of the life in those?
00:09:08.479 --> 00:09:10.208
Years, so we want you to have both.
00:09:10.208 --> 00:09:29.134
We want you to live many, many years, but to have very vibrant years, very productive years, spending time with your family going on missions trip, growing that business and running it to a ripe old age of whatever Right Living your calling Right, exactly Living your calling.
00:09:29.571 --> 00:09:30.173
Absolutely.
00:09:30.173 --> 00:09:33.898
Let's talk about the typical restaurant salad.
00:09:34.099 --> 00:09:34.419
Yes.
00:09:34.681 --> 00:09:38.941
Okay, so many times they have chicken on there or they have bacon on there.
00:09:38.941 --> 00:09:41.398
Now you're not just getting chicken and bacon.
00:09:41.398 --> 00:09:46.178
Many times you're getting viruses and bacteria.
00:09:46.178 --> 00:09:49.455
Can I go into that just a minute?
00:09:50.157 --> 00:09:50.698
Go ahead.
00:09:50.698 --> 00:09:53.134
You have the microphone, the stage is all yours.
00:09:53.669 --> 00:10:02.735
Many times you're getting unwanted viruses, bacteria and parasites, and that's all I'm going to say about that right now.
00:10:02.735 --> 00:10:08.201
Okay, but it is a known fact and this happens more often than you want to imagine.
00:10:08.201 --> 00:10:14.938
But here we're talking about weight, Okay, so I just want to talk about with the weight aspect of it.
00:10:14.938 --> 00:10:26.336
You're getting high fat, saturated fat, which damages your vessels, okay, and then you're getting high calorie with the chicken, high calorie and something that is hard for your body to process.
00:10:26.336 --> 00:10:31.761
So the more animal products you eat, the harder it is going to be to lose weight.
00:10:31.761 --> 00:10:33.875
Now you could replace that.
00:10:33.875 --> 00:10:35.855
Well, what are you going to replace it with?
00:10:35.855 --> 00:10:42.097
Well, look on the menu for all of these different things we're going to talk about today and think what can I replace it with?
00:10:42.097 --> 00:10:49.537
Because if they've got a plant based ingredient, let's say beans, for example, on another dish, then you know they have those in their kitchen.
00:10:49.557 --> 00:10:50.440
They have that in the kitchen.
00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:51.302
Yes, All right.
00:10:51.402 --> 00:10:52.245
They could adapt it.
00:10:52.245 --> 00:10:54.017
You just got to use a little imagination, right?
00:10:54.149 --> 00:11:00.423
So just say hey, instead of the chicken, can you just hold the chicken and add some of those garbanzo beans to this that are in this dish?
00:11:00.423 --> 00:11:01.575
Just add them to my salad.
00:11:01.575 --> 00:11:03.115
They'll gladly do that.
00:11:03.115 --> 00:11:06.940
Okay, so have them add beans instead of chicken.
00:11:06.940 --> 00:11:09.136
They're all different kinds that you can have added.
00:11:09.136 --> 00:11:11.109
Have them add some tofu.
00:11:11.109 --> 00:11:13.678
Let's say they have one vegan dish and it has tofu in it.
00:11:13.678 --> 00:11:16.957
They could add some of that tofu onto your salad.
00:11:16.957 --> 00:11:24.596
Okay, these are ways that you can do this, or you could just leave it out and have them add more vegetables, anything that you like.
00:11:24.596 --> 00:11:27.655
Look at the menu, think outside the box.
00:11:27.655 --> 00:11:29.575
What can I add instead of chicken?
00:11:29.575 --> 00:11:30.839
That I would enjoy?
00:11:30.839 --> 00:11:34.850
Croutons All right, this is crunchy Now.
00:11:34.850 --> 00:11:43.330
Croutons most of them are devoid of nutrients and filled with calories because they're made with white processed highly refined flour.
00:11:43.772 --> 00:11:49.960
Right, and then you've got oil added to them yes, all the time and about nine other ingredients minimum.
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.760
Pick up croutons in your grocery store and start reading the ingredients label.
00:11:53.760 --> 00:11:58.442
I'm not just talking about the sodium or the nutrients that are or aren't in there.
00:11:58.442 --> 00:12:00.697
I'm talking about the actual ingredients.
00:12:00.697 --> 00:12:01.754
You will not believe what's in there.
00:12:01.754 --> 00:12:03.431
Sugar, I mean.
00:12:03.431 --> 00:12:08.001
They are high calorie, no fiber, pretty much low.
00:12:08.429 --> 00:12:10.357
No, because it's probably processed out of it.
00:12:10.649 --> 00:12:11.433
Oh, absolutely.
00:12:11.433 --> 00:12:13.518
What could you eat instead of croutons?
00:12:13.518 --> 00:12:14.462
That would give you that crunch.
00:12:14.462 --> 00:12:17.933
You could eat some nuts, you could eat some seeds.
00:12:17.933 --> 00:12:21.533
Those are great options for providing the crunch.
00:12:21.533 --> 00:12:31.951
I just asked them, maybe, if there's oil on them or you just don't worry about that too much in this point, because we're going to be taking off so much oil when we change up the dressing.
00:12:31.951 --> 00:12:40.528
Okay, but do know that if you're making a salad at home, nuts and seeds often have oil added yeah, I know it's a shocker and then nut butter.
00:12:40.528 --> 00:12:41.191
Same thing.
00:12:41.191 --> 00:12:43.633
Also, dried fruits.
00:12:43.633 --> 00:12:47.392
You could have dried fruits added, but realize they add sugar.
00:12:47.392 --> 00:12:48.315
Can you believe that?
00:12:48.315 --> 00:12:51.429
Because when you dry fruit, you concentrate the sugar, so it's really, really sweet.
00:12:51.429 --> 00:12:57.413
And now you're going to add sugar and oil to the dried fruit and now it's extremely high calorie.
00:12:57.433 --> 00:13:02.312
Okay, I think one reason why they may add the sugar one is just because we're so conditioned to it.
00:13:02.312 --> 00:13:12.269
But it also could be that they may use a lower quality fruit or berry and maybe it's real tart, and so they have to add the sugar to compensate for that, so that's a possibility too.
00:13:12.644 --> 00:13:15.695
I would add they feel like they have to add the sugar to compensate.
00:13:15.695 --> 00:13:20.307
I think a lot of times the sugar's not just added to compensate because people won't like it If it doesn't have it.
00:13:20.307 --> 00:13:23.524
It's added to keep you addicted because it's a part of the traffic.
00:13:23.524 --> 00:13:24.389
You get the dopamine.
00:13:24.389 --> 00:13:26.070
It's a part of an addiction.
00:13:26.365 --> 00:13:27.229
With the refined sugars.
00:13:27.229 --> 00:13:32.009
You absorb them quickly, you get that dopamine hit and you're going to keep coming back for their product to get in again.
00:13:32.009 --> 00:13:32.969
And you mentioned the oils.
00:13:32.969 --> 00:13:35.491
A lot of times they have oils added to them.
00:13:35.491 --> 00:13:41.188
I assume it's either to keep them from sticking or to keep them from drying out Totally not needed.
00:13:41.350 --> 00:13:48.110
Not needed at all, Because we get dried fruit all the time with no oil added, and they're just fine and perfectly delicious.
00:13:48.110 --> 00:13:49.792
But read your ingredients.
00:13:49.792 --> 00:13:54.331
If we're talking about at home now and you're making a salad, look at the back of your dried fruits.
00:13:54.331 --> 00:13:56.331
Look at the ingredients list.
00:13:56.331 --> 00:14:04.173
Start buying dried fruit that has absolutely no oil and has absolutely no added sugar, because you are voting with your dollars.
00:14:04.173 --> 00:14:11.110
Not only are you affecting your health, you're voting on what products are they going to come out with next, or what will they not come out with?
00:14:11.110 --> 00:14:20.052
If you keep buying the ones that have the added things, you're going to end up in worse shape with your health and they're also going to keep making those same old products, because they'll think we're unaware and they'll just do it.
00:14:20.144 --> 00:14:21.671
Well, and they want to make a profit, right?
00:14:21.671 --> 00:14:24.751
So they're going to make more of what sells.
00:14:25.433 --> 00:14:25.615
Right.
00:14:26.144 --> 00:14:30.591
So if you're voting with your dollars, you're buying the healthier products and more and more people do that.
00:14:30.591 --> 00:14:36.956
Immediately you're going to improve your health, but long term they're going to start making what sells.
00:14:36.956 --> 00:14:41.552
They'll make more of the organic foods, the no added junk food.
00:14:41.552 --> 00:14:44.153
So vote with your dollars.
00:14:44.445 --> 00:14:52.794
So I want you to think about not just when you're dining out, but when you're also at home, when we're talking about these salad changes that you can make.
00:14:52.794 --> 00:14:57.336
So we've got chicken can be turned into maybe tofu or beans.
00:14:57.336 --> 00:14:59.251
There are many other things that you can do.
00:14:59.251 --> 00:15:03.048
I will say it's best not to go with the plant-based meat alternatives.
00:15:03.048 --> 00:15:09.234
If you can help it, it's okay as a transition food, but it's not going to be good for long-term health.
00:15:09.404 --> 00:15:18.553
And a lot of times fats will get added to that, like coconut oils, because they're trying to replicate the animal product and in doing that it makes it less healthy.
00:15:18.553 --> 00:15:21.691
Good for transition, but not something that you want to have for long term.
00:15:21.825 --> 00:15:27.149
But I'll tell you it's also not necessary, because you can get those flavors those textures without adding all that stuff.
00:15:27.585 --> 00:15:30.510
So I hate it that they do it and many people don't realize it.
00:15:30.510 --> 00:15:36.309
But you are a smart consumer because you listen to the podcast and you know to look for it and that's what we want here.
00:15:36.309 --> 00:15:45.991
So the croutons replacing with nuts and seeds think about crunchy things that you'll enjoy, but just make sure that those nuts and seeds do not have added oil, sugar, anything else.
00:15:45.991 --> 00:15:53.052
They should be one ingredient, just the nut or the seed, and that is the same with the dried fruit Just one ingredient the dried fruit.
00:15:53.052 --> 00:15:53.393
That's it.
00:15:53.393 --> 00:15:55.852
If it has anything else, you do not need that brand.
00:15:55.852 --> 00:15:59.025
Look for a new and improved brand Now.
00:15:59.025 --> 00:16:02.875
Dressings and sauces this is where they get you big time.
00:16:02.924 --> 00:16:03.707
This is the clincher.
00:16:04.009 --> 00:16:12.524
Yeah, because not only are they sometimes drizzling gurgling oil all over the top of your salad, because, oh yeah, it's healthy, it's healthy.
00:16:12.926 --> 00:16:13.025
Stuff.
00:16:13.046 --> 00:16:22.130
a little is good, so much more must be better 120 calories per tablespoon and I promise you there's not just one tablespoon on that salad.
00:16:22.130 --> 00:16:38.110
And so they're bringing you all these sauces and things that are laden with chemicals that you can't pronounce, which are going to make it harder for you to lose weight and get healthy, and it's got a lot of oil in it and you just don't want that on your salad.
00:16:38.110 --> 00:16:38.311
So what?
00:16:38.331 --> 00:16:38.832
are you going to do?
00:16:38.832 --> 00:16:41.394
Mulsifiers, preservatives, stabilizers?
00:16:42.788 --> 00:16:45.676
coloring, coloring flavorings artificial flavorings.
00:16:45.676 --> 00:16:49.832
And a lot of those things have been linked with cancer and other diseases, diabetes.
00:16:49.832 --> 00:16:54.772
You do not want these things on your salad, ok, so you just say hold the dressing.
00:16:54.772 --> 00:17:08.276
And then you can say would you please bring me a side of balsamic vinegar and brown mustard, because most every restaurant has these two ingredients, and mixed together they make a very tangy and wonderfully delicious dressing.
00:17:08.476 --> 00:17:10.411
Now, and it'll stick to the leaves.
00:17:10.411 --> 00:17:13.653
So you don't have to worry about it just falling to the bottom of the bowl.
00:17:13.845 --> 00:17:25.612
It'll actually stick and coat the leaves you can stir them together right there at the table in one of the containers before you add it to your dressing, and it's going to coat your leaves beautifully and all those yummy veggies that are in there.
00:17:25.612 --> 00:17:26.253
It's wonderful.
00:17:26.585 --> 00:17:31.730
And I would say don't worry about looking like the odd person out, It'll get people's attention.
00:17:31.730 --> 00:17:34.412
Don't be embarrassed, Just say, hey, watch what I'm about to do.
00:17:34.412 --> 00:17:39.147
And as you stir it in there and all that flavors in there, they'll be intrigued.
