@@abi2270 How long have you been doing the starch solution? Sometimes it takes your body some time to adjust to this way of eating. Also have you eliminated all oils, nuts, seeds and avocados. Although these are healthy foods they can dramatically slow your weight loss. You might want to avoid these foods until you have started losing weight. Good luck to you.
@@ChewonVegan Since 2018. Stopped cooking with oil but didn't completely eliminate nuts, seeds and avocados. What about flaxseeds and chia seeds? Do they hinder weight loss. Shall be more vigilant eliminating nuts, seeds and avocados. Thank you for answering me and for your support.
@@abi2270 ;yes Flaxseed and chia are also high in fat and can slow you weight loss. If you haven't read The STarch Solution I would suggest reading it again and if you haven't read it you most definitely should.
Her 4 fave everyday foods: potatoes, green beans, broccoli (with her "cheese" sauce) and an (envy) apple. For those of us without an instant pot, I'd guess that steamed or baked potatoes work just as well.
I put potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, onions in a creamy soup yesterday. The steamed broccoli is mixed in at reheating. It was yummy. I'm just sad that I didn't make a bigger pot.
I found your channel and im loving it!!! ☺️👍 Thank you so much for everything you share. Because of you im starting my journey in this starch lifestyle. So easy and delicious. 🙏💕🥰 Thanks so much
Hi Debbie. Thanks for your video. I am the only plant based (high starch low fat) eater in the house so I still have to cook my husband and kids their meals. It's nice to know I'm not alone being the only plant based person in the household. Thanks for sharing your tips
You are so welcome! I know it's not always easy but in time they may come around. You are leading by example and living your most healthful life.. Best of luck to you.
Thank you Debbie ~ I really enjoyed seeing what you eat. I have some questions.. What do you eat for breakfast and supper? (You mentioned this was your lunch). Do you eat salads? Do you happen to have a link for your steamer? I love how big it is. Thanks so much! Debbie in WA Ü
Hi Debbie, I don't eat breakfast so my first meal is lunch. I do eat tons of salad. I used my instant pot to steam my potatoes. Eat works great. here is a link amzn.to/307xtia I plan to do what I eat in a day video. So stay tuned!
Hi Debbie, came across your video, and wanted to ask, as far as 50/50 goes, I tend to eat it together, I don't eat the non starches first and then the starch, I rather eat it together. But reading everywhere, it seems like everyone eats their non starches first and then the starches. Does it matter?
I think the idea of eating your non-starchy veggies first and then the starch is because non starchy veggies have the lowest calorie density and if you eat them first you will fill up on those first and maybe not eat as much of the starches which are higher on the calorie density scale. So your over all meal will be lower in calories. So if you are trying to lose weight that is the way to go. If your aren't trying to lose weight or are in maintenance phase then it doesn't really matter if you eat them together. I hope that helps.
@@ChewonVegan ok that does make sense. I really am trying to lose weight but sometimes I feel like I'm not suppose to use any condiments to make it taste good or I'm using too much of it. But if I want to make this a lifestyle of course I want my food to taste good. What is your advice on condiments or making your food favorable to where u look forward to eatting it again and again etc.
@@rorigurl I definitely use condiments. I love ketchup on my fries and cheese sauce on my veggies and baked potatoes. Sweet chili sauce is one of my favorites. those are just a few of what I use. Check out my channel for other ideas. If using condiments will help you stay on track then by all means use them.
Are you eating your veggies first and then your starch? That helps me. If you want more just make sure it is still 50/50 plate and only eat till you are comfortable full. If you still want more go brush your teeth or drink a cup of herb tea with a little monk fruit or stevia in it. That also helps me. Good luck💚
Is one tablespoon of natural peanut butter a day really a deal breaker? I can’t imagine it being that big of a deal. I struggle with my sweet.. I can do everything perfect but I really crave peanut butter at night. Or anything sweet.
I don't think one tablespoon of peanut butter is a deal breaker. As long as you can stick to one tablespoon. You may want to try PB2 the powdered peanut butter. It has so much less fat then regular peanut butter but still tastes good. I also like to drink a cup of tea after dinner sweetened with a little stevia or monk fruit for somethin sweet. Sometimes I will brush my teeth after dinner and that helps the craving goes away. Thank you for your comment💚
@@ChewonVegan awww thanks for responding with tips! I can stick to one tablespoon BUT I definitely plan on picking up some pb2 at the store this weekend! I always forget about the teeth brushing tip!
Potatoes are the most satisfying food on the planet and it is low in calories. You will not be hungry on the starch solution. If you haven't read the book I highly recommend you do. It will really help you to understand the science behind it.
Wow ! Thanks for sharing your video! I need to try it. Just subscribed to you. Lets support each other on TH-cam! Big Like to your channel ! Keep it up! Stay connected!)!!
I understand how you feel. But really there isn't a lot in my fridge. My husband is mostly vegetarian and eats meat on occasion. Marriage is about compromise and he is totally supportive of my choices and I respect his. Thank you for watching my video!
The starch solution has really helped me to lose and maintain weight. Have you tried the starch solution? Did it work for you ?
Yes I've tried starch solution but am not losing weight. Need help.

@@abi2270 Remove fat with starch or it wont work. Together they are gas and fire for fat creation.

Absolutely! Any way you want to prepare your veggies is up to you.
TFS you saved me 8 minutes 👍🏼🤗

This diet helped my gallbladder and gastritis.
I believe it! That's awesome! Congratulations💚
Im so very pleased to see this because these are my exact go-tos!!! I eat my potatoes in a veggie soup and i eat the green beans for breakfast
I know it's the best! So easy to do and tastes great!
I put potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, onions in a creamy soup yesterday. The steamed broccoli is mixed in at reheating. It was yummy. I'm just sad that I didn't make a bigger pot.
Sounds great! I love soup!

That looks good! But I'd want more it's my biggest struggle. I don't know how to fix that

Saying you need potatoes in a diet ❤️ I’m hoping this works for me I’m so hungry on my current diet

Great video Debbie xox
Thanks!!
What size bowl is that?
The bowls are 30 oz. There is a link to them in the description box.
Price point wise are fresh cheaper than frozen?
It depends sometimes frozen is cheaper and sometimes fresh is cheaper. When frozen is on sale, fill your freezer.
Is cauliflower or carrots ok
absolutely! What every non starchy veggies you like.
Link to your "cheese" sauce ???
Thanks, I forgot to put that in the description box. The link to that video is now in the description box.
@@ChewonVegan Thx 4 that !!!
Looks good but you overcooked the broccoli. 😂
Not to me 😁 it's the way I like it.
Okay that makes sense!! 👍👍❤️❤️

Id have a hard time living in a house with meat in it
I understand how you feel. But really there isn't a lot in my fridge. My husband is mostly vegetarian and eats meat on occasion. Marriage is about compromise and he is totally supportive of my choices and I respect his. Thank you for watching my video!
You way overcooked the broccoli and green beans. The less you cook the vegetables the more nutrients it keeps.
That is really old video. I do things a lot differently now. We are all gonna different journey
sorry the rest of your family are not eating your vegan/ plantbased food, they miss out big time😉
Oh they eat what I make and love it, they just haven't committed 100 % yet. But I'm still working on them😉
