Living in the south we tend to indulge in southern food that is not always so good for us. Mark Hayes and Dr. Oz were joined by Chef Holly Chute, executive chef for Georgia's first family at the governor's mansion. She showed how to slim down southern dishes without sacrificing taste. On the menu was grilled catfish and a watermelon salsa.
