I literally exclaimed “what?” when you said that you were turning 65..I thought 53 at most..at the very most..well done…you are a great advocate for plant based veganism🤗🤗
I'm so thankful to have found your channel. I am doing my best to become whole food plant based. I am gluten free and also soy free. I'm 62 and will be 63 in January. I struggle with sweets. As a diabetic I worry about all the carbs. Keto worked really well for me but I just can' keep eating precious beings faces. Thank you for sharing You have learned with us.
So glad you found me too! Keeping your diet low fat is the key for diabetics. Check out @Masteringdiabetes on you tube and Instagram for some great education and tips for being whole food plant based when you are diabetic.
Hi Deb this is my favorite channel, you are so relatable to me 💗I also have celiac 's and vegan, I am 49 yrs old so it's hard to relate to the younger vegans, working on losing the lot 10 pnds , your recipes help me so much!! I love them all! Making these this week!!!
Thank you so much! I am so happy my channel is resonating with you. Yes we more mature folks have some different challenges to deal with sometimes. Thank you for your support💚
Great job Deb on the 4+lbs. I'm just starting again on the Starch Solution, but trying to do Mary's mini again to get a jump start, when I did it before I had great success and list a pound everyday for a total of 10lbs. I was thrilled but now I just can't seem to get motivated and I need to lose at least 50lbs. Your video did inspire me and I thank you for that! I am 64 and already went through menopause also that's where I gained this 50lbs. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
You can do it! The starch solution is such an effective way to lose weight. I hope you have joined my Facebook group. There is so much support and inspiration there. Thank you for your kind words. You got this💚
Debi, I absolutely love your idea on the oatmeal with zucchini and riced cauliflower. I’m having this every morning to the point where I have to go out and buy the veg if I’ve ran out. It’s fantastic, thank you so much. Will definitely be trying the granola x
I'm going to try the granola today, but for breakfast I used your hack of how to add vegetables to your oatmeal. I am not one to have vegetables with breakfast and I couldn't believe that cauliflower would blend in so nicely with my oatmeal!!! I added over a cup of riced cauliflower to a half a cup of oatmeal with a cup of blueberries and a banana with a teaspoon of cinnamon! Well, this is my new go to for breakfast! It made a nice big serving and I am still full. Thank you so much and keep the videos coming. Great job!
Way to go!! I discovered the same with oatmeal. I kind of got burnt out on it! But seemed like my weight stalled, I’m diabetic as well, so it’s a little hard to work this way of eating but, I do it! 🙂Anyway, adding oats back in the mornings must’ve done the trick, kicked me back into weight loss mode. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!!
Hi Deb, I’m so glad I found your channel! While my goal isn’t to be fully WFPB, I do want at least half of my week to be. You have made this transition a million times easier. Thank you for all the inspiration. I’m shocked by your age and you look absolutely fantastic!! I’m 49, and dropping peri-menopausal weight is difficult. I’m glad to know there’s hope. Once again, thank you!
You are so welcome! I'm glad you found me too. Following the Starch Solution has been the only way of eating that has made it so easy lose and maintain my weight. I recommend reading The Starch Solution. That is where I started and it helps to understand the science behind why it works.
Hah! Found the Granola Recipe. Can't wait to try it. I'm on my weight loss journey. A few more pounds to go - but then after that, I'm making this Granola Recipe and the pancakes recipe where you add in the granola. OMG. Can't wait. I like the stir-fry with Teriyaki. I think I'd prefer to prep veggies and Teriyaki separately. Thickening it in sauce pan by itself; then pour on however much of the Teriyaki I need, over the veggies and rice. Great recipes.
I swear I about lose my mind every time you state your age. Unreal! Thanks for posting this - I'm going to make the granola right now and go back to my savory oats in the mornings. I've been off track a bit the last few weeks (all of the Jewish holidays we just had = a lot of food!!) So it's time to get back to basics. Thank you for all you do! ❤
I couldn't believe it when you said your age as you look years younger. It's funny, but I, too, keep going back to oatmeal when I want to lose a couple of pounds, and I also eat my first meal at around noon. I've tried a few different ways of making it, but I keep going back to cooking it with frozen blueberries, ground flax, monkfruit sweetener, almond milk and cinnamon.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Good for you!!!! :) I have dropped 4 lbs. and counting.......I'm also following the 50/50 plate...got my hubby on it too....doing great! :) Thanks for your videos! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
I so enjoy your videos and recipes. Thank you for sharing. Also....think I missheard your age...you look amazing. Healthy and happy. Love the bloopers...they make me smile. Keeping it real.
I can't wait to make the granola! Too bad it's so hot right now where I'm at(over 100F) that I'm afraid to turn on the oven, I'm just waiting for the temperature to go down at least a little. Thank you for the recipe. :)😋🤤
I have recently found your channel and have subscribed, love your videos. I made oats this morning , just using water and a pinch of salt, added a small amount of vegan butter, and ate it. Within an hour I was fast asleep, lightheaded etc. Will adding veg help balance it for my body? Thank you 🌸
Thank you for subscribing! Yes adding veggies will help and if you can leave out the vegan butter, this will lower the fat content. If you need some fat use a bit of PB2 which is a powder peanut butter that is way lower in fat.
I buy the Trader Joe's brand. If you don't have a Trader Joe's near you then look for one in the Asian section of the grocery store. Try to find one with no oil added.
You can make low-fat hummus at home. I'm sure by now they have it. Ty for the recipes. They look yummy. ☺️ Coconut aminos is very low in sodium. Love the stuff. Just got me some. 😁
Thank you for including food amounts. I’m *JUST* starting and though I understand the concept and realize that different people can consume different amounts, it is quite helpful to see what a cup of something looks like. THANK YOU!!!
That so well done Debbi. What drinks do you have, as I find that difficult? This latest hints/tips is excellent as b'cast can be tricky Cannot thankyou enough.
Thank you so much. I drink a lot of water, I love green tea and my Dandy Blend which is a yummy blend of dandelion and chicory. You can find it at most grocery stores or amazon.
@@ashayotte6399 It has delayed anything for me. I say if this gets you to eat more veggies then go for it. Use it wisely, maybe 2 tablespoons at a time and see if that works for you. Good luck.
I have several bottles of Trader Joe’s sweet chili sauce in my pantry, and an open bottle in the fridge. I have “baby mouth” slams this brand is mild enough for me.
My berries are not sour. I get mine at Trader Joes and they really good. Maybe you could go to your local farmers market or maybe frozen berries would work better.
Congratulations on getting to and passing your goal weight Debbie! What is it with hummus that knocks it out of low calorie density - is it the tahini? Debbie in WA Ü
@@4007fairview Haha!!! Love this!! I use tahini in my salad dressing every week... I quantify it by saying it is a healthy fat that helps me absorb the nutrients in my daily salad and it is high in calcium. I don't know about you, but I can't seem to eat enough greens, oranges or tofu to get a decent level of daily calcium. Those sesame seeds really help!
Hi Debbie I have Diverticulosis and was told that I need to get 30 grams of a day. I can't get enough with just fruits and veggies. Do you have any suggestions to get more fiber?
Hi Debi, I just found your channel and I am really interested in learning more. Just a quick question. 4 cups of veggies and 2 cups of rice is one meal for one person ??
I would say 2 cups of cooked veggies and 1 cup cooked rice would be one serving. That being said that is a general guide. Eat till your are comfortably full. That could be more or less to for you. If you haven't already make sure you read The Starch Solution.
@@ChewonVegan I don’t look (or feel) 66. Whenever a woman asks how, I tell them don’t smoke, stay out of the sun, and have good genes. Also, dance to the music of your teens (the true fountain of youth).
Yep! That was my goal to lose the 4 pounds I had gained the month before. It doesn't matter if it's 4 or 40 you use the same principles. If you watchedmy back to basics series it would make more sense.

@@jenniferburrows6782 lol, I knew meant what you meant.
Hey Deb!!! Great video per usual. Hope you're staying safe 🥰 What sweet chilli sauce did you use?! A lot of them are so high in sugar
I use Trader Joe's sweet chili sauce and it does have sugar, a little goes a long way. So I'm not really worried about the sugar.
@@ChewonVegan thank you so much. I have the same but have been nervous of it delaying my weight loss, however, it's my favourite condiment.

Congratulations! Where is tofu in the chart? Will it afect for loss weight? Thanks for sharing.
tofu is about 350 calories per pound. So it is under the 600 mark.
Great job! Happy Birthday, I know its in October!

OK. What do you do to get around the berries tasting sour? It makes it so hard to get around.
My berries are not sour. I get mine at Trader Joes and they really good. Maybe you could go to your local farmers market or maybe frozen berries would work better.

What is your macros break down how much protein and fat
Honestly I don't pay attention to macros. I just eat low fat high carb, whole food plant based and no oil.
Hi Debbie I have Diverticulosis and was told that I need to get 30 grams of a day. I can't get enough with just fruits and veggies. Do you have any suggestions to get more fiber?

So much prep required for this type of eating lifestyle....your fast food options are virtually negligible if you are eating on the starch solution...
I guess prep is subjective, it's not too much for me. Not sue what you mean by my fast food options.
I'm sorry... 4lbs? Is that actually actually goal?
Yep! That was my goal to lose the 4 pounds I had gained the month before. It doesn't matter if it's 4 or 40 you use the same principles. If you watchedmy back to basics series it would make more sense.
