## Resource

In this episode, I speak with Aathitiyan Somu founder & CEO of CookdTV about biryani, Indian food habits, calories, poriyals, Salads, gut health, and why tasty food is often calorie-dense. We break down why restaurant food tastes better, why South Indian meals are carb-heavy, and how to balance taste with health. We also discuss weight loss basics, portion control, protein vs fiber, salads, sambar, poriyal, pasta, and how to choose better food brands by reading labels. Practical, no-nonsense food advice for everyday eating
