Question:

I love this style of cooking (FOK) and eating. I do find that I am gaining weight gradually... maybe over-compensating, and eating too many nuts, hummus, tahini as a dressing...any recommendations?

— Razi Lissy

Answer:

This could be me, um, nuts, hummus, tahini as a dressing. Uh, uh, that's a good chance. That's what it is. I feel that's what it is for me. And, um, so, you know, any, any recommendations? I think the recommendation is, um, you know, number one, you recognize it, which is what you've done, uh, and to verbalize it, which is what you've done, uh, and then to start making adjustments and, uh, in, in the place of these beautiful nuts and, and hummus. And, and, uh, my favorite tahini, which I just had by the way, before today's live event, um, uh, you start to bring in more of the vegetables and grains particularly, and then, uh, fruits as well. And I only place it in that order because, uh, fruits have more sugar typically, uh, than some of these other things in the grain category or, uh, or veggie category, excuse me, a moment. But, uh, just start, um, uh, you know, eating more of these other things, um, that are gonna have, uh, lower calorie density, okay. Than these beautiful foods that you've mentioned.
