20 || FITNESS MAGAZINE || SEPTEMBER 2015 we were only together for 20 minutes, six days later they announced us as the cast. I remember thinking when we did the promo shoots it was special, it felt like one of the best play dates ever. We%u2019re all different and it works. Having enough differences works. How boring would it be if we were all the same.%u201dWhat are some of your favorite memories from The Chew?%u201cThere have been a couple, one of the favorites was Daphne surprising us with her pregnancy. Another, when I fell off the chair, it was crazy and everyone could laugh because we%u2019re such good friends. And it was hilarious. Dressing up for Halloween, especially this last one, because we don%u2019t take ourselves too seriously. We dressed up like The View and the Spice Girls. There was a moment when Mario was making mashed potatoes with olive oil. I love it when someone is making something and you%u2019ve never thought of doing it. The creative part of your brain goes into a tail spin. I have those moments with everyone on the show.%u201dinding a healthy balance in your life is easier said than done, especially with food. Carla loves teaching cooking classes, and this month she takes us to school. %u201cA recipe is only a guide; you have to connect with it. Whenever you are outside of yourself trying to get what someone else has you%u2019re set up to fail.%u201d How can you conquer your diet? Carla says follow your pallet. If you like sweet things, then add sweet spices to your proteins. There are easy ways to boost the flavors of the food you eat. %u201c90% of fats and sugars we consume are outside of the home.%u201d What? Yeah that%u2019s right. The best way to beat this game is start with raw ingredients, and you will be one step ahead. Step two, head to your kitchen and start busting some more myths. Cooking healthy and delicious meals does not need to take the whole day. We%u2019re now living in the time of 30-minute meals.
