I adore the Primary Foods advice. It's so important to remember that weight loss is a temporary journey and to not devote all your time to it, and do things that nourish your soul.
What you said really triggered my thoughts . Who would I be if I no longer needed to lose weight? I feel like weight loss and working to pay bills are going to be the death of me. I want to enjoy my kids and family and home and be able to contribute in other ways in life. Uugh definitely gives me something to pray and think about.
I really love them both but regular potatoes would have to be my pick. But I have to tell you, a tip from one of your other videos has really changed my opinion of sweet potatoes. Mashing up half a banana and putting it on top of a baked sweet potato with cinnamon or pumpkin spice is an incredible treat! It really hits the spot when I have a sweet craving. It feels so indulgent. I absolutely love it! I’ve really been enjoying all your videos.
@@HealthyEmmie can i just use steamed sweet potatoes instead of boiled russet potatoes. Also , steaming potatoes will not dry out the water like baking or grilling
I"ve been a McDougall follower for years. Unable to lose all the weight I've needed to lose. Emmie gives me hope. This is a really great video. I'm learning many more nuances of the pro's and con's of different types of starches.
I don't know how much of your videos I've seen, but after watching this one I've realized that I love you... Emmie, your tip number one got me. Loosing weight is part of my life since high school, it's part of my identity. . Primary foods! Let's find them, because I don't know them.
Thank you for your channel. I have struggled with weight and food issues (anorexia bulimia other) since I was 14 and I am am one of those people u mentioned in the video who only thinks about food 24/7…. It’s so frustrating. I just started watching your channel and have learned so much already. I’m going to keep watching and am very hopeful that it will help me to finally get over this obsession with dieting and be able to eat healthy food and lose weight! God bless u
Can I just say I love potato’s. I was a chef for 13 years and one way to make boiled potato’s really tasty is to cover them in a low to fat free chimichurri it’s kind of like German potato salad but little to no oil. Another way to make fat free dressings/sauces is to soak a little piece of bread in wine or Vinegar for about an hour and them mix it in with herbs some sort of acid salt and pepper and boom fat free pesto or chimichurri!
Such a good point about primary "foods." Thank you for the reminder of the importance of "feeding" my soul - because that is what will fulfill me in the long run.
Hi Emmie! I love potatoes. White and gold are my favorite. I will eat a sweet potato every once in a while. I just ordered your Holiday cookbook. Everything looks so amazing! Thanks so much!
steamed golden / yellow potatoes. When you talked about boiling vs baking/cooking, a huge light bulb came on. Going to stop baking and grilling until I get my weight down. By the way, youtube is way more fun to watch in VR.
Bingo! Have done this for two months. No weight loss! Not one pound. Dont have a whole lot to lose either-Only thing I can figure is I need to walk more? Hope it works for you!
@@jules9628 - I have started taking Moringo leaves, 2 Brazil nuts a day and seaweed everyday. I have an immune compromised thyroid and it would cause my appetite to be ravenous. These supplements have helped me more than anything I have tried. Joint pain decreased, appetite decreased and energy levels much better.
@@FindJustMarty interesting I used to eat one brazil nut a day and I had one form of moringa years ago and it helped but that type I can no longer afford. So you buy moringa leaves and use, like in a tea or how? I have low thyroid and am on prescription med for it.
@@jules9628 I have a hypoactive thyroid. I get my Moringa leave in capsule form (because it’s just too rough to take them without the veggie capsules… I get them from Amazon. Very happy with them. I have 2 Brazil nuts a day and one serving of seaweed a day. Much more energy, less brain fog and better feeling of general well being.
I’m new to starch solution, I’ve been on it for about a month and haven’t lost much weight about 2.5kg, so I really enjoyed this video, especially the primary foods part, I also realized I’m obsessed with losing my excess weight and it has been depressing me that i haven’t lost it as fast as I hoped. Potatoes are my fav not so keen on sweet potatoes
Emimie, Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes… I haven’t worked out which I prefer best as yet..so both. I like the part about who you are after this weight loss journey. I think I know… I you’re so right about prep… If I don’t prep, I have poor days. Enjoy your channel. 🌱
This video speaks to my soul, I am at a stage where I don't know who i am without counting calries and thinking about food all the time now, but now I will try to focus on what really matters in my life and shift my energy and attention away from it. Thank you for the video!
Yukon (and other) golds, purple potatoes and sweet potatoes of several types are my main stays, because my partner loves steak houses and therefore I go, and salad and a baked russet is a treat.
I love creamer potatoes! Sweet potatoes are just way too sweet for me. I don’t really like sweet with my starch. But my favorite starch is really steamed white rice
Potatoes over sweet potatoes, but really… all the potatoes 🥔! I’ve started eating Japanese sweet potatoes more often now that I’ve found them, and they are delicious.
I love them both. However I would have to choose regular potatoes you can spice them up so much more. When I want something sweet then it would be a sweet potato!
I prefer sweet potatoes, but that might be years of telling myself the white potato was bad. Looking forward to trying new recipes with the white guy without butter and sour cream.
I love me some sweet potatoes. I can eat them ALL types of ways. But I like regular potatoes too. I'm just glad that I can still eat them on this diet. I really think this is the best diet I've ever been on. I don't have to give up my rice and beans. 🤩😍
Regular Potatoes more than the others. Great video Emmie! 😀. I do have a question please. How can one stay on track without feeling influenced, and at times giving in, to the poor habits from a significant other (they love pizza!) other than weekly planning? If you have a video about that, could you please let me know which one that is? Appreciate the advice!! Love your work and all that you do!
I love the chickpea crusts in the freezer section. It makes it super easy to throw your own together when someone else wants pizza or you don't feel like making anything, because we all know that's when you want to do pizza😁
I can't believe you don't know what the primary food, as you call it, is for probably everyone who is obsessed with weight loss. If I ever lose the weight I've been wanting to lose for so long, what I want to do with my life is to eat! Not boring stuff like potatoes, but enjoyable recipes with lots of different ingredients, both at home and going out to eat. That's the problem. That's why I have weight to lose. My obsession is eating.
But that's not a healthy primary food. It's an obsession as you said. Learn to find other enjoyable things. And when you lose the weight, learn to eat healthy whole food plant based meals and make them tastey. Forks Over Knives has tons of free recipes as well as this channel I'm sure
Choosing between sweet potatoes & potatoes isn't a option because I love 😍both. Excellent video from the amazing, lovely, gorgeous and beautiful Emmie. I like raw vegetables because you will get more nutrients from them but I couldn't eat raw exclusive. Love 🥰this video and love 💕Emmie.
I love white potatoes just regular russet potatoes. I tried to hurt kind of sweet potatoes I really wish I liked him because a lot of people like them and they’re supposed to be really healthy for you I don’t dislike them but I just like white potatoes a lot better. You made me cry I’ve been watching you for a while when you asked if you’re if you’re thinking about weight loss all the time that’s me I’m 53 years old and it’s all I’ve thought about for years
In the UK/Scotland we don't get the different variety of sweet potato u all have overseas, my food craving is a hawain sp and never tried it, how can this be 🥔
I’m a former Chef as my first career, but having type 2 diabetes, I have converted to the rice 🍚 diet, which basically means vegan. I keep it very simple unless I’m sautéing veggies in my sweet potato sauce because I want to cook my puréed fresh ginger and curry for my rice.
I adore the Primary Foods advice. It's so important to remember that weight loss is a temporary journey and to not devote all your time to it, and do things that nourish your soul.
"A Sunday well spent brings a week content" ... Love that!!!
You won’t believe this but in Okinawa they have sweet potatoe vending machines! Now that’s a way to snack!🍠
Are the sweet potatoes fried or baked

White sweet potatoes are my absolute favorite!! I think they are called white yams
Yukon gold and various sweet potatoes are my favs.
I love them both but have lately discovered that using sweet potatoes in place of white potatoes adds an extra kick
Japanese Sweet Potatoes, hands down!
Yes, yes, yes! They are so expensive where I live, but I still buy them 🥰, I’m worth it dang it!
Hi Emmie! I love all of you ideas in this video, but the number one is truly the best! I’ve never thought of it that way 😊
Thanks for watching! ❤️😉
Sweet potatoes are my favorite… but I enjoy both! Love this video Emmie!
Yay! Thank you! 😊💕
Such a hard choice, I love both now !! Buuuttttt, sweet, specifically the batata.
Grow sweet potatoes in water. Super easy. You can eat the leaves!!!! I'm going to brade the veins for chews for the dogs.
Thanks for the tip!
I love both sweet potatoes and potatoes! I can't choose!
Gold yukon for the win! I actually can’t stomach sweet potatoes
I love Yukon gold potatoes and Red baby potatoes the most
I love raw carrots, red peppers, cucumber, cauliflower. Who wouldn’t love them come on?!
This was GREAT! Exactly what needed to hear. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! 😊💕

Thank you so much Emmie I love your knowledge
You're very much welcome! ❤️😉
Been adding salsa to my salads... quick, oil free and vegan. I don't go crazy due to sodium though.
Thanks for sharing! ❤️😉
That was a tough question. I have to go with baked Japanese sweet potato with cinnamon 🤤
Keep it simple sweetie! LOVE IT!
Yukon (and other) golds, purple potatoes and sweet potatoes of several types are my main stays, because my partner loves steak houses and therefore I go, and salad and a baked russet is a treat.

I personally love sweet potatoes, especially the purple ones and the white ones!
baked sweet potatoes are delicious! Made some today, tasted better than cake
I love creamer potatoes! Sweet potatoes are just way too sweet for me. I don’t really like sweet with my starch. But my favorite starch is really steamed white rice

SWEET POTATO!!!!!!!!!! The love of my life.
Depends on my mood and if I am seeking sweet or savoury ✔️ loved finding your channel 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you! 😊💕
Potatoes, hands down. UNLESS we’re talking Hawaiian sweet potatoes, then I could be swayed 🤣
Yesterday at the hospital cafeteria I couldn’t really find anything to eat so i just ate potato wedges and 2 cups of white rice!
That’s really sad that a hospital cafeteria had so few healthy choices.
White potatoes are my favorite! Love to just even eat them cold out of the fridge 🥔 😊
thanks for sharing! 😊💕
I prefer sweet potatoes, but that might be years of telling myself the white potato was bad. Looking forward to trying new recipes with the white guy without butter and sour cream.
I like both but I could eat yukon gold potatoes everyday and not get tired of them.

May be eat what you love that day.
Sometimes swap it with healthier choice.
I would say to have pizza! Try an Ezekiel pita topped with hummus and lots of veggies. So good!
I love the chickpea crusts in the freezer section. It makes it super easy to throw your own together when someone else wants pizza or you don't feel like making anything, because we all know that's when you want to do pizza😁
