Adam  02:16

Hello, everybody. Welcome to the show. We have a great guest today. I'm really excited about this. We have with us today, Chef Judson, Todd Allen, he's the author of the spice diet. The name of the book is called the spice diet. And the subtitle is use powerhouse flavor to fight cravings and win the weight loss battle. Full disclosure. First of all, my publisher of my book power of 10 was working with Chef Judson and he and Chef Judson wanted to put an exercise component in there and I work with Chef Judson. And part of this book has a high intensity training aspect to it so so I thank chef Judson for inviting me to be part of this book. But that's not why I'm having him on the show. I actually liked the book regardless, and I've said this before in other podcasts. And this is why I like the book so much. Because when it comes to making healthy food choices, as Chef Judson points out in his book, and as I've pointed out a million times it this is not easy. It's not easy to control your cravings and eat properly let's and Well, I've always used a song lyric to to kind of help kind of guide people through these these difficulties of making choices. And that is if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. And there are lots of things that we have to avoid simple sugars, refined carbohydrates, the list goes on. But there's plenty of things that we can have. And that's the way I like to look at it don't pine for the things you can't have like pizza, and a lot of pasta. And think instead of the great things that you can have. And what I love about your book Chef, is the spice diet helps you love the things that you can have with the use of spices. And you know, just like some people, when they're decorating their house, they're afraid of color. They just paint everything white and tan in their house. Well, Chef, you're helping people kind of get over that fear of using spices and their foods and staying away from just salt and pepper, which of course are great spices but like there's there's a lot of spices that we can use. And we're going to get into all that I'm going to ask you a whole bunch of questions about spices and I love to cook and I love to love the things I'm allowed to have. Because I am avoiding all the things that I crave and I've never gotten rid of those cravings. I'm always pining for things I can't have. And I always get over it by thinking what can I have and how am I going to make it taste great. And you say in your book Chef, you say at the beginning of your book, you say you don't have to sacrifice flavor to eat well and healthy. So that leads me to one of my first questions. I just want to maybe get some background on you and I was wondering where Did your culinary journey begin? And what brought you to where you are now?

Chef Judson  05:05

Wow, great question, Adam. You know what I, I tell folks all the time that that my culinary background is a little different. I always say that I used to dream about food when I was a little kid. And, you know, I knew that there was something different about me, I just never knew what it was. But the moment you begin to like literally dream about food, like the flavors how you put them together, you know, something's not right, 

Adam  05:31

you found your calling.

Chef Judson  05:35

yeah, But later, later, life to your point later in life, it turned out to be my calling, it turned out to be the fact that this was something I was very passionate about. So, you know, I followed that I followed those dreams I followed that passion into into high school where I studied food science, and I went to the only urban agricultural h...
