  I've been wanting a "but healthier" series, take the favorites and show examples of how to make them healthier without compromising taste or texture

  Now THIS is something that I didn't expect. This "...But healthier" is something that could be a series. Creating meals that basically look the same (or better), that ALSO tastes good (or better? SOMEHOW), would be a welcomed addition to the "...But Better" series

  Another thickening alternative I use especially in curry recipes is to add a can of chickpeas to my sauce/gravy and blend it smooth (Immersion or traditional blender both work) and it is so good for thickening, bulking up the sauce so you can feel full on a smaller portion, and giving the dish a bit more protein!

  You should make this into a whole series called “but healthier”.

  From all of my diet successes I&apos;ve found limiting sugar and calories works faaaar better than limiting fat and calories

  JOSHUA - this is it, chief. I hope the views and likes reflect this, but I feel like you have a HUGE opportunity here to bring your culinary expertise and charisma to the &quot;healthy cooking&quot; space. SO many in that space have no idea what they&apos;re doing and their recipes are flavorless textureless garbage. PLEASE make more of these. (I&apos;m glad you took a hard stance against sugar among other things, and while emulsifiers can arguably be a little questionable health-wise, I believe for the gut, this is GREAT content.)

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAzN2efRXns&amp;t=25">0:25</a> 100000%, the only way to diet effectively is to make sustainable, long term changes that you can keep up.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAzN2efRXns&amp;t=1185">19:45</a> Mac and Cheese goes nicely with peas, broccoli, cubed carrots, or cauliflower. Even if you&apos;re not fully down to start counting/cutting calories, adding in a veggie to your kraft box can help get a few more nutrients into your diet.
