However, for over a year in the early days of the community, I had gotten feedback that people want more specific details about the salad. From that feedback, I holed up in my kitchen weighing and measuring things like I never do (and hope not to have to do all that often) and realizing, by golly, this salad thing really is an actual framework.

I lay the framework out in this book.

The cooking strategies could save a huge amount of time and fuss

More so, there is a specific way I prepare the salads using very basic bulk cooking strategies, to ensure that I always have a 10-minute salad at my disposal every single day that tastes different from yesterday's salad.

The book is laid out according to these bulk cooking strategies: Each week you will bulk cook one or two protein items. You will eat some this week and freeze some. I instruct you how to do so.

Do I need this book if I know how to make salads?

• Why, What, & How. Learn the underlying framework of The Ridiculously Big Salad itself.

BOOK 3: The Ridiculously Big Skillet

Because Not Everyone Wants A Salad ...

I was coaching a friend on all of this. She said to me frankly: "Sorry, but I'm tired of salads, and I need something else."

"Why don't you just eat it cooked?" I responded.

She was dumbfounded because, as I mentioned, my own "salad lady" reputation had proceeded me.

The fact is that the Ridiculously Big Salad book had been such a big hit that people thought that was all I ate.

However, from January 2020, when I launched the Three-Day Challenge in the Eat Like a Bear! community, I taught an approach to cooked meals that followed the exact same eating framework of the salad, but the meals were simply cooked instead of raw.

So my point is that this book, too, just like the Ridiculously Big Salad book, is born out of the social proof of this way of eating, from our Eat Like a Bear! community, a community of mostly women over 50 who have always struggled with their weight.

(Already anticipating the question: But what if I am younger and/or have less to lose? Will this still work for me? The older ladies of Eat Like a Bear! jump up and down and say: "Yes! Get started!" ... and some also say, "Do you really think it's harder for you, being young and with less weight to lose? Why are you waiting?")

And Yet, Don't Focus on the Recipes ...

There are over 60 recipes in this collection, and they have driven MASSIVE success. However, our most successful community members are leveraging the benefits of the recipes in a specific psychological context. The whole "not recipe" section of the book – the psychology of implementation – is worth far more than the recipes and is an extremely unique and effective approach to weight loss.

When you do pick up the book, avoid the temptation to skip to the recipes.

Read the whole book.

Take note of these things:

(1) The Framework: The recipes are based on a framework that has proven to be highly effective for weight loss. Having recipes will help you do that, but the recipes are not an end in themselves.

(2) The Embarrassingly Simple Cooking Methods: The recipes come with some cooking approaches that "compete with the drive-thru" in terms of your time spent. These are not gourmet recipes. In fact, the recipes would embarrass legitimate chefs. I do know how to cook and know a lot of gourmet cooking methods, which is why it took me about two years to get over myself and write this book (and make the companion digital course). It's the way most of us cook when no one is watching, and it's a good back-pocket strategy for the long game. (I do always ask: "Who needs to be a gourmet when you can be trim?")

I take a deep dive into both elements and strongly emphasize why simplicity matters in a discussion of weight loss psychology that you likely have not heard outside of the Eat Like a Bear! community, with analyses that come from my social science/social choice background and training.
