    So you guys mighta noticed that I renamed this episode "Healthier Versions of Unhealthy Foods" - I wanted to make it clearer that these aren't diet foods or things you should necessarily eat every day, they're lower-calorie, lower-carb, higher-fiber versions of unhealthy foods. They're still very high in fat, so there's a trade-off, but they hopefully give you guys ideas of how to scratch the junk-food-itch when you're trying to eat well!

    My father can’t eat rice anymore (due to health concerns), so I’m going to start using cauliflower for a better substitute. He will surely appreciate having a great not-rice with beef stir-fry. It will also help for stuffed bell peppers. Thank you for showing how to properly cook the cauliflower and for explaining the process so well!

    So after you posted your original “healthy meals” and your “training like Kratos” videos I decided to make a change in my life. I switched my diet around, I started biking everyday morning and afternoon, and started to drink water like I had an addiction. And it worked after a month of excruciating cravings, I succeeded. I went from 211 pounds to 185, the skinniest I have been in years. This is because of you. Your videos helped me push through my cloudy head about changing myself. I’m not done with my dieting I still have a little more to go. But thank you for putting me on the right path of a healthy life.

One binging incident, for example, is nothing compared to months of a balanced diet and exercise. Anything can be changed, as long as you set your mind on it 💪💪💪

    Made Buffalo cauliflower "wings" a few weeks ago when I had a vegan friend over for game day and I can really recommend them.
    I hated cauliflower as a kid but I guess that was more because of the cooking skills of my parents.
    Even though nutribullet sponsored this video I have found that nutribullet and kitchenaid mixers really do live up to their price tags.

    Andrew, I'd recommend straining the cooked cauliflower through a cheese cloth rather than letting paper towels passively soak up the moisture. You will be surprised at the waterfall of liquid that will come out and your end crust will be much sturdier.

    Remove maybe two of the leaf parts(enough so you can fit your knife in their). Between the leaves in the cauliflower theirs a little stem, simply cut it and it should separate apart, leaving no leaf behind. But it's quite densely packed so it's probably not gonna get all of it but most of it. A lot quicker.

    If you’re in the US: Trader Joes sells cauliflower gnocchi, cauliflower pizza crust, butternut squash pizza crust.. I’ve tried all of them and they’re pretty amazing. Blaze Pizza and Pieology also have cauliflower crust pizza now, Blaze just added it earlier this year. I’ve had my friends try cauliflower crust pizza and they haven’t been able to tell the difference, I had to tell them afterward it wasn’t regular crust.
