Starting the Starch Solution can be overwhelming especially if you are coming from the Standard American diet. I hope this helps break it down for you💚
@@Tulitakon yes I do. I eat a banana and blueberries everyday in my oatmeal and Ieat grapes, plums, apples. I don't really limit my fruit. I eat 3 to 4 pieces a day on average especially during the summer.
Not at all. It’s so familiar to me. I really enjoy that kind of eating. I come from Greece and the Mediterranean vegetarian diet is my favourite. But I thought that I must avoid the starches and carbs during menopause . Thank you so much for the valuable information and your time. Have a nice day
Hummus with fresh red sweet bell peppers. Red lentil patties with chickpea flour air fried with sauce. Lettuce with fermented cashew cheese.. endless possibilities... Let's not start talking about the craze I feel for potatoes
Keeping things simple is key. Thanks for showing how it can be done. I have heard Dr. Mcdougall say, 'pick a starch and add vegetables.' Makes it all so simple. Also Jeff Novick says to keep a can of beans in the fridge, and scoop a couple tablespoons on top of your meal to give it that extra boost.
I love brown rice. I wash the brown rice and then put in rice cooker with correct amount of water. I do this in the morning and leave it set all day. Then 1 hour before dinner I cook the rice, fluff it when the rice is cooked and then put the lid back on and let rice set out 20 minutes before serving. Perfect, nutty, and each grain is fluffy. I learned this method when I lived in Japan.
I think one of the reasons I can’t stick with the Starch Solution is because the recipes usually seem like they take a lot of time. I work 10 hour days and I’m used to convenience eating. I like how simple your video was, I’ll give it another try. Thanks!
I cook potatoes in the microwave a lot. You can also buy Minute Rice Cups that micro in 60 seconds. I use Minute brown rice in the bags it takes 15-20 minutes v. 40 on the stove for raw brown rice, but I don't have an Instant Pot or rice cooker. You can also freeze cooked rice in batches, I freeze them in 1 or 2 cup portions.
Been eating the McDougall way since 2010. I had to relearn how to cook. I had to quit trying to make elaborate meals and make simple things. Beans, rice, veggies, lentils, potatoes, pasta..........the best way we eat is VERY simple. But it's varied too! How about simple variety ??! 2-3 starches, like potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, or grains. For veggies, there are a ton of frozen veggie mixes that provide a swath of different veggies already chopped up and ready to heat (green and yellow veggies, leafy greens, less dense starches, etc...) Or fresh veggies cut & steamed in the basket with the rice/grains and perhaps some beans as well. Soups are simple foods and we would have soup almost every day. Oatmeal is so simple --the way I make it-- and it's fabulously good & healthy. A salad and an oil free dressing is not much trouble. And of course a few different fruits each day - you can simply eat them as they are. So that's it--potatoes, rice, other grains, lentils, oats, veggies, beans soups & fruits. Nothing simpler. Simple and a variety too :D Simple to prepare and eat, a variety of real food goodness. No counting calories, points, carbs, or GI scores, no necessity for special formulas or foods, and no starving oneself. And for weight loss/maintenance, it's the holy grail. How about simple variety ! 2-3 starches, like potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, or grains. For veggies, there are a ton of frozen veggie mixes that provide a swath of different veggies already chopped up and ready to heat (green and yellow veggies, leafy greens, less dense starches, etc...) And of course a few different fruits is nice that you can simply eat as they are. soups are important. bean soups, veggie soups, lentil soups - all these are nourishing and satisfying. so if you like soups you can make a few in large amounts every so often and freeze what you don't eat in a day or two. that way you'll always have some soups on hand. In the old days, for most people, meals were simple: porridge for breakfast, soups for lunch, and a stew for dinner. Easy to plan your meals around a single dish, possibly supplementing it with a salad or vegetable side dish. Think of pasta with a topping, or rice covered with a sauce, or just plain soup and wholesome bread. Eating this way has taught me to think of food as fuel rather than as a means of entertainment, so I no longer need constant variety and elaborate recipes. Putting a few complimentary ingredients together is simple and easyand I'm happy. Simple and variety :D Simple to prepare and eat, a variety of real food goodness. No need to fuss and make food complicated. :)
So simple! I have rice and potatoes in the fridge, a potato broccoli Cheeze soup, salad fixings, Cheeze sauce, BBQ sauce, hot sauces. I have the raspberry balsamic vinegar from Rocky Mount Olive oil company, and make a peanut sauce with PB2, coconut aminos, ginger, garlic, chili flakes and a touch of maple syrup. Great on your rice and veggies or to dip salad rolls into. Love your channel!
Thank you for this video. I started this last year, but the amount of prep work was too much for me and I gave up. Your approach is simple, and I think it will help me greatly.
You are so welcome! Once you get it down the prep is fairly easy. I do the same thing every week. Bake a bunch of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Steam a bunch of veggies. make some rice and maybe make a soup. You can do all these at the same time and takes a little over an hour. Then you are set.
So simple! This is actually what I do. My family love having potatoes on hand. I also have a huge bowl of salad prepared for the week. The stuff that could go bad I keep separate. My daughter is now eating a salad daily! She is a fast food junkie ☺️
You are amazingly helpful and inspiring. I’ve made many of your recipes since finding you…3 weeks ago! I’ve purchased the starch solution by Dr McDougall and am feeling so much better as well as losing 13 lbs! Thank you for taking the time to share what’s good for all of us…the animals and the planet! You make such a difference❤
You are so welcome! And thank you so much for your kind words💚 I am so glad that you are finding success on the starch solution and my recipes are a part of it. Congratulations! Keep it up! You are doing amazing!!
A mixture of rice and beans is maybe the best starch with potatoes being the second option. You cannot go low on beans on this diet. If you’re not eating meat, you have to eat a lot of beans. Beans are the number one starch.
@@greentree_ beans are great! I like to add tofu, tempeh and edamame as well. I have been vegan for 13 years and I eat lots of beans and legumes as well as tofu etc. it's so easy and healthy.
This is excellent. Thank you! Simplicity is the missing ingredient from so much WFPB advice. It's very helpful for people suffering from chronic fatigue or pain.
I just found your channel and I am very impressed with my first video. It does seem to break everything down and make it very simple and I will certainly check out more videos and start heading down that path. Thank you very much.
Balsamic glaze too!! I love to put glaze, tahini, honey mustard, and a little bit of caramelized onion hummus on my salads. That's my go-to dressing! A little hummus goes a long way! Good stuff today Deb, thank you!
I needed this. I look at all the starch solution videos on what to cook, what I eat in a day, etc., and I've been overwhelmed. I prefer to cook as little as possible nowadays and this video is just what I needed. Simple enough to make it doable. I wish you'd put all your helpful videos in a book. Thank you so much.
Simple! Great advice to stop the overwhelm and for those of us with energy issues. I do the 50/50 brown and white rice too just in the stove top adding in the white rice before the end of the brown rice cooking time.
I’m so glad I found your video. You made it simple. Will definitely take your advice! I lived a vegan lifestyle before but I forgot what I did and how I started. Thank you for this!
Simple! I love the 3-2-1 dressing recipe. (It’s the only one I can remember! 😂) I’m surprised you didn’t mention Date Lady sauces. Thanks for another helpful & healthy SS lesson! 😊
You are so welcome. I didn't mention Date Lady sauces because I wanted to show the things you may already have in your house or can get at your local grocery store. I do love them though and will mention them in future videos. thanks for the reminder💚
Great to have things simplified. I live in Australia and felt very much on my own when I started 3 years ago. It’s a shame I didn’t find this video earlier.
Happy to hear you're a Rn. My sister is and tells me it is not healthy. Even the doctor I went to I went off it and now have high blood pressure which I did not have before. So now on medication. So am starting over. Why I listened to everyone was stupid. Already feel tons better.
Glad you are back to the best way to regain your health. I work with nurses who don't believe this way of life works. Yet they are over weight and unhealthy. You have to be your own advocate and do your own research. You won't regret your decision.
KISS = Keep It Super Simple! I'm new to this way of eating [Been eating the Standard American Diet = SAD :( ] and appreciate this video of simple tips. I don't like to cook at all so I love these easy steps. Nothing complicated. I find veggies boring so the sauces are KEY!
I really appreciate your feedback! It's great to hear that the video resonated with you, especially since you're new to this way of eating. Don't worry, we've all been there with the Standard American Diet, but with these simple tips, you'll be on track to a healthier lifestyle. Thank you for watching!
Been WFPB since 1993 and it's really true, the simpler the better. A great simple breakfast is a cubed potato, add some frozen peppers and onions, season with paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, makes great diner potatoes for any meal. I cube a potato then microwave it😅 then add it to the peppers and seasoning. Serve with fruit. Bon Appétit!
Thank you for your videos. Others make things sound so complicated. I love you simple and easy ways of doing things. Thanks for sharing you tips and wisdom ❤️😊❤️😊
Simple simple! That's what I love about your channel. Everything you make is so easy. I've been on this lifestyle journey for a little over a year and watched your channel for about the last 6 months I just love it more than the others and I am really shocked that your channel is not bigger. What's up with that?! Have you ever met or chatted with Dr McDougall? I enjoy Chef AJ's channel and she has interviewed Dr McDougall and Mary many times maybe you should reach out to her.Also, she has many plant-based people that come on and demonstrate their recipes live on her channel. I really want to see your channel explode! You so deserve it!, And continue to add your bloopers they are hilarious!😂😊💜
Thank you so much for your kind words💚 I was on Chef AJ;'s live back in September and demonstrated a recipe. You can find it on my channel and her channel as well. I appreciate your support of me and my channel. My channel is growing everyday because of subscribers like you💚 It means the world to me🤗
Thank you for making it simple! 👏☺I'm not new to this way of eating, but I've been struggling to keep it up. I struggle with overwhelm and I needed to watch a video like this with the guideline of eating a starch, a vegetable, and a sauce. I'm thinking about taping index cards to the inside of my cupboard with foods written on them like "baked sweet potatoes, quinoa, broccoli, mixed vegetables, steamed kale..." to remind myself of what to prep when I just can't even think about food.
I've been putting garlic powder and smoked paprika on my boiled potatoes. I have some veggies with it. I'm new to the Starch Solution but have been vegan for almost 2 years now. I also enjoy mixing half wild rice with half basmati rice and putting veggie broth and tamari on it. I make a big pot of it and put it in the fridge. I put the wild rice on first for 25 minutes and then add the basmati and cook for 15 more minutes. Works for me. :)
Thank you thank you thank you I just ran into your video again and watched it again so good good information and I could just think of rice and vegetable bowls with a combination of some beans on top and some salsa yum yum yummy
Thank you so much for the information. I bought the book some time back then it gathered dust as life got in the way of my plans. I'm going to start reading it tonight but want to start right away so this has been a great help. New subscriber and have made your 321 dressing already - delicious! I feel like I need to mention also - you are Debbie Harrys double! 🙂
Just starting the starch solution eating plan for 2 reasons, to lower my.cholesterol and to lose the last few post menopausal pounds. Thank you for demonstrating how it can be super easy. When I first started there were all these recipes and I found that several of them kept me running to the potty a lot! I love beans and legumes but find they make me gaseous. I tried Beano but not a lot of luck. Suggestions?😊
I would start slow with the beans. If you are using canned beans make sure you rinse them well. You have to get your gut microbiome up to speed. Maybe start with 2 Tablespoons of beans or legumes and increase it a little at a time. Soon your gut will let you know that it is okay with beans. It just takes time.
The best video and didn’t cost me a thing. I’m so new. Health reasons have made it necessary to change my diet. Easy to get started with the help of your great video.
D I found your channel! I was looking for gluten-free. It's a bonus that you are WFPB, no oil because my DH and I are leaning in that direction. Keep these videos coming!
Is frozen considered Processing, like a can of vegetables, with no food value? What processing do frozen vegetables go through and does it contain any chemicals, like processing can vegetables?
Frozen is a great option I don't considered it processed.. It is flash frozen after it is picked. I always have a ton of frozen veggies in my freezer. You need to buy organic whenever you can. I also use canned veggies but I buy organic. Check out Nutritionfacts.org. for more information.
1 sentence in and i subscribed. You seem straight to the point and super helpful human making life more simple. You definitely found your purpose in life thank goodness ❤🙏 i will be binge watching your videos tonight. Thank you
You are so welcome and thank you for your kind words. You are so sweet to say that. I truly appreciate it💚 I hope you find my videos helpful to you on your plant based journey🤗
As a newbie…. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just to try I ate only white potato’s last week like 80%. Couldn’t believe how easy and filling it was. Going full throttle this week. I have known a shift is coming for me for months. Felt it was an elimination diet. Tried so many ways, keto, carnivore and others. (I just don’t like meat, never had) and being addicted to oils and all carbs I could t imagine starch would be the thing. Had a dream about a guy that are ALL potato’s. That started my journey add. Omg…. It is. Your video is spot on for we beginners. Will listen to your channel this week When trying just hamburger it was awesome cause my addiction to comfort cheap horrible food was gone. On 3rd day all that was still sitting in my gut and I had headache from hell. Too low blood sugar etc. Have you or others experienced any detox symptoms eating this way of life? The ah ha I had was potato’s are high in potassium…. Ahh what you have to add in on other ways. Thank you again for an awesome video to help me start my new way of life!!!❤
You are so welcome! Keep consistent and follow the 50/50 plate building method and you will be successful. If you need more help check out my digital on line course. It will give you step by step instructions on this way of eating.Link is in the description box
@@ChewonVegan okie dokie…. I will Ck the online out. Such great resources. Love your “keep it all simple”. I have used food as comfort when happy, sad, pissed… you name it. My deepest desire is to get back “food is fuel” not the center of everything. The 50/50 is 50 starch, 50 veggie? 😍
Thank you for this video. I have been trying to do this way of eating but have even overloaded with information. Thank you for the simplicity. Does this way of eating work for diabetics? My husband is diabetic. I am trying to help him too but not to educated with that either.
Your are so welcome! For your husband I would suggest following Cyrus and Robby @ masteringdiabetes on Instagram and here is their website; www.masteringdiabetes.org/
I'm not new but I sure wouldn't mind more videos like this. My go to is potato with steam fresh veggies over it and some sauce but would love more ideas like this. If I'm tired, I have to do things like this or I will just eat mindlessly. If you have more ideas like the above, please share. I have a vegetarian in my family and 3 meat eaters so feel your pain. I make plant based so they eat that and eat meat occasionally that they make. I've made your hummus and cheese sauce which I need to do again. I just made a gazpacho with tomato juice, bloody mary mix, tomatoes, cucumbers, purple onion, carrots, garlic which is in fridge now for the flavors to meld. Love any and all potato recipes, my favorite starch. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I gave up my RN license in 2004 when I went overseas but remember how hard of an occupation it was so carving out time for this is phenomenal on your part.
Thank you so much for your comment! How to simplify the starch solution was a 3 part series and I have over 400 videos on my channel. You will lots of whole food plant based no oil recipes there, especially potato recipes😀
You are so welcome! As far as the starch solution and dialysis I would speak to your Nephrologist. He or she would be the most qualified to answer that questions. Best of luck to you💚

Starting the Starch Solution can be overwhelming especially if you are coming from the Standard American diet. I hope this helps break it down for you💚
Thank you. I’d like to ask you one more ….do you eat many fruits and how often?
@@Tulitakon yes I do. I eat a banana and blueberries everyday in my oatmeal and Ieat grapes, plums, apples. I don't really limit my fruit. I eat 3 to 4 pieces a day on average especially during the summer.

Do you have a cookbook?

Been WFPB since 1993 and it's really true, the simpler the better. A great simple breakfast is a cubed potato, add some frozen peppers and onions, season with paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, makes great diner potatoes for any meal. I cube a potato then microwave it😅 then add it to the peppers and seasoning. Serve with fruit. Bon Appétit!
I agree 💯I have to keep it simple. It is how I stay consistent. Thank you for watching and for your comment💚
Thank you for your videos. Others make things sound so complicated. I love you simple and easy ways of doing things. Thanks for sharing you tips and wisdom ❤️😊❤️😊
You are so welcome!
Simple simple! That's what I love about your channel. Everything you make is so easy. I've been on this lifestyle journey for a little over a year and watched your channel for about the last 6 months I just love it more than the others and I am really shocked that your channel is not bigger. What's up with that?! Have you ever met or chatted with Dr McDougall? I enjoy Chef AJ's channel and she has interviewed Dr McDougall and Mary many times maybe you should reach out to her.Also, she has many plant-based people that come on and demonstrate their recipes live on her channel. I really want to see your channel explode! You so deserve it!, And continue to add your bloopers they are hilarious!😂😊💜
Thank you so much for your kind words💚 I was on Chef AJ;'s live back in September and demonstrated a recipe. You can find it on my channel and her channel as well. I appreciate your support of me and my channel. My channel is growing everyday because of subscribers like you💚 It means the world to me🤗
@@ChewonVegan oh wow that's awesome! I will definitely look for it and watch💜
Interesting, I found you by accident. I like how simple you made this.
Thanks! I hope you found it helpful♥️
Thank you for making it simple! 👏☺I'm not new to this way of eating, but I've been struggling to keep it up. I struggle with overwhelm and I needed to watch a video like this with the guideline of eating a starch, a vegetable, and a sauce. I'm thinking about taping index cards to the inside of my cupboard with foods written on them like "baked sweet potatoes, quinoa, broccoli, mixed vegetables, steamed kale..." to remind myself of what to prep when I just can't even think about food.
You're so welcome! So glad it was helpful💚 You got this😀
I've been putting garlic powder and smoked paprika on my boiled potatoes. I have some veggies with it. I'm new to the Starch Solution but have been vegan for almost 2 years now. I also enjoy mixing half wild rice with half basmati rice and putting veggie broth and tamari on it. I make a big pot of it and put it in the fridge. I put the wild rice on first for 25 minutes and then add the basmati and cook for 15 more minutes. Works for me. :)
Sounds great! Do what works for you for sure!
Thank you thank you thank you I just ran into your video again and watched it again so good good information and I could just think of rice and vegetable bowls with a combination of some beans on top and some salsa yum yum yummy
You are so welcome! You are exactly right. rice, veggie beans and a sauce, perfect!
You helped me understand a lot of stuff and yes I made it to the last, God bless you:)
Thank you, so glad it was helpful💚
Simple! I’m not new but I don’t like cooking. The easier the better. Tysm
so true! I am right there with you! It's must be quick and easy for sure.
Having food prepared when I get hungry is the key to keeping me in line. And simple works the best! Thank you for this video reminder
Absolutely!! You are so welcome💚
Thank you so much for the information. I bought the book some time back then it gathered dust as life got in the way of my plans. I'm going to start reading it tonight but want to start right away so this has been a great help. New subscriber and have made your 321 dressing already - delicious! I feel like I need to mention also - you are Debbie Harrys double! 🙂
Thank you so much! I've never been told that before. Thank you for subscribing and so glad you loved the dressing. Enjoy the book💚
@@ChewonVegan Thank you!🙂
Simple thank you so much..wish I had found you when I started.. will share with others for sure
Yes! Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful💚
Just finding your channel. Good stuff!

Thanks for keeping it so simple!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Simple. This video is going to make it really easy on those days. I just don’t feel like making decisions lol. Thank you
You are so welcome. So glad it was helpful ♥️
Great video for starting a plant based journey.
Thank you! I hope it's helpful
I’ve been doing this for a while but this video was still very helpful. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Simple! I’m starting over again! I need simple!!
I'm all about simple. Best of luck, you got this💚
Just starting the starch solution eating plan for 2 reasons, to lower my.cholesterol and to lose the last few post menopausal pounds. Thank you for demonstrating how it can be super easy. When I first started there were all these recipes and I found that several of them kept me running to the potty a lot! I love beans and legumes but find they make me gaseous. I tried Beano but not a lot of luck. Suggestions?😊
I would start slow with the beans. If you are using canned beans make sure you rinse them well. You have to get your gut microbiome up to speed. Maybe start with 2 Tablespoons of beans or legumes and increase it a little at a time. Soon your gut will let you know that it is okay with beans. It just takes time.
The best video and didn’t cost me a thing. I’m so new. Health reasons have made it necessary to change my diet. Easy to get started with the help of your great video.
I am so glad you are finding these videos helpful. I appreciate your comment💚
Simple! Thanks for the reminder to keep it simple
Yes! Thanks you💚

Simple. I use the 1 2 3 dressing as well, it’s delicious. I add nutritional yeast, it gives it a bit more body
Great idea!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this video! I'm going to try this .... seems like something I can commit to.
You are so welcome! You can do it!
Thank you for the info. I couldn’t find the cheese sauce recipe.
There is a link in the description box to my plant based cheese sauce recipe.
D I found your channel! I was looking for gluten-free. It's a bonus that you are WFPB, no oil because my DH and I are leaning in that direction. Keep these videos coming!

Is frozen considered Processing, like a can of vegetables, with no food value? What processing do frozen vegetables go through and does it contain any chemicals, like processing can vegetables?
Frozen is a great option I don't considered it processed.. It is flash frozen after it is picked. I always have a ton of frozen veggies in my freezer. You need to buy organic whenever you can. I also use canned veggies but I buy organic. Check out Nutritionfacts.org. for more information.
1 sentence in and i subscribed. You seem straight to the point and super helpful human making life more simple. You definitely found your purpose in life thank goodness ❤🙏 i will be binge watching your videos tonight. Thank you

Simple 🙌🙌-watching part 2 nxt 📺🛋
Great! Thanks for watching!
As a newbie…. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just to try I ate only white potato’s last week like 80%. Couldn’t believe how easy and filling it was. Going full throttle this week. I have known a shift is coming for me for months. Felt it was an elimination diet. Tried so many ways, keto, carnivore and others. (I just don’t like meat, never had) and being addicted to oils and all carbs I could t imagine starch would be the thing. Had a dream about a guy that are ALL potato’s. That started my journey add. Omg…. It is. Your video is spot on for we beginners. Will listen to your channel this week
When trying just hamburger it was awesome cause my addiction to comfort cheap horrible food was gone. On 3rd day all that was still sitting in my gut and I had headache from hell. Too low blood sugar etc.
Have you or others experienced any detox symptoms eating this way of life? The ah ha I had was potato’s are high in potassium…. Ahh what you have to add in on other ways.
Thank you again for an awesome video to help me start my new way of life!!!❤
You are so welcome! Keep consistent and follow the 50/50 plate building method and you will be successful. If you need more help check out my digital on line course. It will give you step by step instructions on this way of eating.Link is in the description box
@@ChewonVegan okie dokie…. I will Ck the online out. Such great resources. Love your “keep it all simple”. I have used food as comfort when happy, sad, pissed… you name it. My deepest desire is to get back “food is fuel” not the center of everything.
The 50/50 is 50 starch, 50 veggie? 😍
@@sharonthompson3938 yes 50 starch 50 green veg
Thank you for this video. I have been trying to do this way of eating but have even overloaded with information. Thank you for the simplicity. Does this way of eating work for diabetics? My husband is diabetic. I am trying to help him too but not to educated with that either.
Your are so welcome! For your husband I would suggest following Cyrus and Robby @ masteringdiabetes on Instagram and here is their website; www.masteringdiabetes.org/
I love simple! Will re-watch and take notes. Thx!
You are so welcome!
Thank you Debi, I always share your videos with my patients.
You are so welcome! Thank you for sharing my videos. I appreciate the support. I hope it helps your patients💚
Great Simple information. I’m new to the starch solution… but I love it.
Glad you found it helpful!
I'm not new but I sure wouldn't mind more videos like this. My go to is potato with steam fresh veggies over it and some sauce but would love more ideas like this. If I'm tired, I have to do things like this or I will just eat mindlessly. If you have more ideas like the above, please share. I have a vegetarian in my family and 3 meat eaters so feel your pain. I make plant based so they eat that and eat meat occasionally that they make.
I've made your hummus and cheese sauce which I need to do again. I just made a gazpacho with tomato juice, bloody mary mix, tomatoes, cucumbers, purple onion, carrots, garlic which is in fridge now for the flavors to meld. Love any and all potato recipes, my favorite starch.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. I gave up my RN license in 2004 when I went overseas but remember how hard of an occupation it was so carving out time for this is phenomenal on your part.
Thank you so much for your comment! How to simplify the starch solution was a 3 part series and I have over 400 videos on my channel. You will lots of whole food plant based no oil recipes there, especially potato recipes😀
Thank you so much for this simplified explanation of the Starch Solution.
You are so welcome 😁
Thanks for breaking it down and making it simple! :D
Your are so welcome! Glad it was helpful💚
Yes, Great video! I do so well for awhile, then I mess up, my cravings come back big time! I need to keep it simple. Thank you so so much🥔
You are so welcome! Keeping it simple it the key to consistency. It makes life so much easier. You got this💚
@@ChewonVegan I keep trying, but it’s so hard with a husband and all his snack foods everywhere
Thank you for keeping it simple. Any suggestions for eating this way on dialysis? I watch your videos every week.
You are so welcome! As far as the starch solution and dialysis I would speak to your Nephrologist. He or she would be the most qualified to answer that questions. Best of luck to you💚
Simple. Great video. Thank you.
You are welcome ☺️
This is a great I have to try some thing thank you.
You are so welcome
