i have just read the starch solution and been following a plant based diet for one month and i dont think ill ever go back to meat and dairy again .....im eating a big bowl of potatoes for lunch and supper and i feel fantastic
This video is awesome. It really takes a strong person to put yourself out there like this. I've had 3 seizures, completely losing my joy in food after the last one at 200 lbs. It's been hard to keep weight on for several years but recently started gaining weight again. You have opened my eyes to why I'm gaining now and what I need to do to stop it. Thank you!!
I lost 9lbs in a week. I just eat potatoes, but NO Salt, NO Oil, NO Sugar, and the boil potatoes help you loose weight faster. Now I'm on my second week and Im adding a little bit of ketchup and spicy sauce (sometimes). I only drink water and milk. If you used condiments, is harder to loose the weight. Drinking plain hot water will help when using condiments. It gets easier on the second week. The more time it passes, the easier it gets. I may go for a full month. GOOD LUCK!
Well done my dear, the difference from when you started to when you finished was very noticeable, your complexion was very different, thank you, Im starting mine Monday
I've plateaued and haven't been loosing any weight for several days on this diet. I've been eating plain boiled white potatoes of the exact same sort and I don't so much as squeeze lemon or even add salt to it. Feeling really demotivated after several days of no progress. Why isn't this working?
There's refined sugars in all processed foods. Detoxing from that is the hardest and can trigger migraine in those with a history of them. Usually after 7 days your body is clear of the craving. Your brain does need good fats like olive oil, avacodo, peanuts. Those should be added after 7 days. When I cut out bread, potatoes, sugars, and processed foods, I felt so good and lost interest in junk food, soda, chocolate, ect. For years. I am proud of you! Your body will continue to treat you good if you keep it up. That's how I found the strength to end my cycle of bulimia also. You go girl! Much love!
stuck at 200 lbs. had to go back to regular diet. Having a bit more luck with water fasting. I have found you have to trick the body to lose weight. you must something different each time I have sleep apnea with a machine so i think that does not help. I dont know how Penn went months and lost 80lbs.
@@Kopite68 yes! He says that it may at the most decrease calories by 18 calories. Not worth it to me.. I just read that today . That will make a big difference to me..
LOTS OF LUCK! Keep up the good work! You have inspired me to do it now, glad I found this video. Now I am definitely going to do the potatoe diet, I love potatoes so I am cool. 2 weeks ago I reset my brain eating potatoes and rice and other starched only for 4 days. I have started eating potatoes regularly for two weeks and my belly had gone down for sure and breakfast firming up and skin and booty is looking better, cravings gone and I don't over eat and I am not hungry or starving, I am losing weight with no sweat now. I think I am losing at least 8 lbs a week. I am so happy I found this video
Potatoes taste really nice and everyone in Ireland ate very little other than potatoes for a couple of hundred centuries and way back then people were not obese
I know you said the first day you lost 3 lbs and you said it was only water weight. But girl weight is weight. I would be doing cartwheels! So happy you did so well and thank you!!!
I’m planning to eat this way... i binge and stress eat.. then feel so sick. I’ve read so much info from many doctors and there is so much science behind this way of eating... I’m right there with you.
I can't recommend this enough for people with binge eating problems. I only did the Potato Only portion for the first 7 days, but I'm 2 months in now, and I'm still completely off of dairy, meat, added sugar, wheat and over processed foods. I haven't even felt the urge to binge. This is the longest I've been in remission for Binge Eating Disorder in years.
Bravo. You did great and explained things well. I am on the verge of starting this “jump start program,” which is how I think of this and the way I try to explain it to others! You look wonderful in your day 14 video. I look forward to watching your progress. 🙋🏻♀️
Been stress eating. That’s when I binge. It’s been a stressful year with loads of twists and turns, it’s been awful. Fell off my diet, couldn’t get back on. Kept doing that over and over. Now I think I can do this. Maybe when stress happens to reset myself. Joy isn’t only found in food. I need to find that joy outside of food again.
I am doing the potato reset today is day 20 And I started craving a salad and vegetable plain today I started eating vegetables for lunch and dinner I feel so good doing this my wife is trying to get me to eat candy she came home from work and handed me a big candy that I used to eat all the time. I had Gas bad and stinks that lasted a week and half. i feel great and I'm loving it.
Great video, 2nd day of potatoes only and woke up bloated backed up and not hungry. Gave in and had green beans with veggie crumbles along with my tiny purple potatoes. Now I feel bad, but I'll keep going. They taste better cold the potatoes, little ones are easy to pop in my mouth And m not looking down at a huge potato on my plate. I weigh 383 I'm 60, it's do or die. Ty for this
I really want to do this, I have a major problem with binge eating because I just love the way food tastes. But I literally have NO self control. I can’t stop myself, I don’t know if I’d be able to succeed 😕
The great thing about failure, is that it’s temporary. If you have a setback, don’t beat yourself up about it. Just start over. Eventually, it’ll stick.
Ling it’s not necessarily bc you love the way food tastes, but bc sugar/fat/salt makes the pleasure centers of your brain explode. Makes you feel good and happy for a very short time the same way certain drugs or an orgasm makes you feel good, but unfortunately, the good feeling is very short lived like drugs and orgasms. When I’m depressed/angry/bored/anxious etc...I eat horrible foods. It’s so bad for you. This helps break that cycle. Vigorous exercise works amazingly well too and actually makes you happier overall where poor diet makes you gradually unhappier.
For sauce use a low-calorie tomato-based sauce. I like Francesco Rinaldi pizza sauce, 20 calories per 1/4 cup, available at Dollar Tree, and La Victoria mild red taco sauce, available at supermarkets. It tastes like ketchup with half the calories of ketchup.
Looking forward to a good reset. I, too, have self control issues and cravings. I love potatoes. Will continue eating potatoes and veggies after the reset.
The opposite happened for me. I had to completely REMOVE potatoes fom my diet. The high oxalates and solanine in them was slow poisoning me. Six weeks later and quite a few nagging health problems disappeared 👀⚡️
I went whole Foods, Plant Based, Sugar, oil, processed food free, with very minimal salt and I've had amazing results. My skin is better, my hair is better, my mood is better, the swelling in my lower legs is almost gone. Salt was the hardest which is why I went to minimal salt instead of salt free. I can't imagine going back. For the first time in my life I feel my eating disorder no longer takes over, and when I do binge eat, the food I binge on won't hurt me or cause me to gain weight. Every once in awhile I get tempted, but cravings are minimal to nothing.
subscribing because I could totally relate to what you said in the beginning. I am already starting exercising and i feel good about myself, however I am still in the obese category and I want to be healthier for myself.
Good Luck! Taking the first step is the hardest part. Once you get into a routine, it becomes habit. After the potato diet, I transitioned into gluten free vegetarian, and I haven't been miserable at all. The weight is coming off slowly (1-2lbs a week), and I'm feeling better and better everyday. ❤️
I started yesterday! I have to lose like 70 kg (150 lbs). I’m eating 1.5 kg of potatoes a day, I’m using just salt and spices to add some flavour. No sauces, no oil, no butter. Maybe I will add some vegetables like zucchini or carrots or something like that. I’m considering adding some dates tho, because my blood sugar tends to drop when I’m not eating something sweet like fruit etc. Wish me luck 😊 sw: 113 kg / 249.1 lbs (march 29 2024) cw: 112.6 kg / 248.2 lbs (march 30 2024)
bland cooked potatoes have the advantage to not contain artificial sweeteners which would f up your gut microbiome. one of the benefits of the potato diet is healing the gut microbiome with fiber and resistance starch (chilled potatoes). drinking non pasteurized organic ACV helps with this too. this together addresses all the satiety/blood sugar lowering hormones like CCK, GLP-1, PYY. the cravings will go away because of these hormones. are you drinking diet sodas? ==> cut it out. the migraine could be the keto flu. add salt to combat it. btw. the banana sabotaged it big time. i am trying that too but i will cycle it with beef&eggs to get enough protein. that means two days potatoes, two days ground beef&eggs, two days potatoes, two days ground beef&eggs, .....
Just curious, why did you choose to use seasoning if your main goal was correcting the whole rewarding feelings of food thing? From what I've read, the whole point is NOT using seasoning, so when you add in a bell pepper after a week or two it tastes INSANE. it's a palette reset. Anyway just curious ♡ thanks for posting this vid. I'm on day 2! You're so pretty and love ur voice
I have been on potato's for 6 weeks...lost plenty of weight so far on the way down....I do have joy eating potato's prepared different ways and look forward to eating all the potato's I want...now after 6 weeks I have added veggies and fruit...still losing and feeling great. French fries on oven racks, no cookie sheets, par boil the fries and they come out golden brown on 425 for 30 minutes....love it. It's not as cheap as I had hoped....16 lbs which last me 2 or 3 days is $20.00...seems crazy expensive....eat as much as you want
You are really cool. I love your communication style. I was thinking that maybe (besides maybe having an actual virus), your sickness could easily be detox - your body cleaning out itself since you weren't putting any "junk" into your system. That's what has happened to me several times, and although it isn't fun at ALL, it's good to get cleaned out! :) Hope you're doing well now.
Help your family also to eat healthy so they won’t have to be worried about their weight in their teen years. When you have flu symptoms electrolitos like pedialyte to restore your fluids and not dehydrated.
day 7, from 208 to 201. sick of potatoes added broccoli today . 180 is my goal diet. but i do it in phases so my body will accept the new weight. so 3.8 years 262 to 200. one year stuck at 220. i am not eating till noon so fasting from 8pm to 12 i was told appetite would die down and it has. I kind of don't like food right now which is fine. hope everyone does well
the 2nd time i tried i only lasted 2 days. my body will let me lose 15-20 at time then i must let it chill for a few months. I have to accept slow and steady wins the race. learn about intermediate fast ing I always skip breakfast now. You have to trick your body and do something different each time Penn lost 90 lbs in 90 days that is really outstanding. keep in touch
Im ending day 4 right now and i have to say that by day 2 i could already feel a difference. And i feel more focused. Tired yet energized at the same time lol. I also had a problem with eating. Cause i was bored or depressed. This has really helped me. Im not focused at all on food. I feel like I'm living again
Caloric density of potatoes is low...so is level of fat...so perfect for reset as they are also nutritionally complete...not sure how Andrew did it for a year...but for a shorter period...totally doable...I get stuffed with potatoes and lose .5 lb per day...I always have steamed non starchy veggies as well... still good weight loss and reset!
You don't need to buy potato starch to make potato soup, you just need potatoes.Anyone doing this diet needs some fat for energy, even if it's just some olive oil. Well done, good job.
No oil is needed at all for someone trying to lose weight. Andrew Taylor ate only potatoes for an entire year, and lost 110 lbs, and cured his junk food addiction. He went from obese to a healthy weight.
Ideally you shouldn’t use seasoning. Its brutal to not, but otherwise defeats the overall purpose. Feeling lousy mayve been withdrawal from the awful foods. Withdrawal from bad things is always a bitch.
Eggs, nuts, sheesh. How can you call what you did an elimination diet? You are definitely right about the 12 lbs being mostly water weight. The fact that you found potatoes boring is an indication of not staying on them long enough. I agree with those below that your "cold" was probably more a symptom of detoxification than of virus. The headache? dehydration. I don't think you did your best. I hope you try a potato-only diet sometime, not for days but for weeks if not months; i think you'll like it. But hey that's easy for me to say.
could only do 7 days. but i will do it again but i want my weight to stabilize near 200 204-200 is new range. i get hungry on intermittent fasting at night working on that. you have cheat a little or you will cheat a lot.
Thanks for sharing! So many spiritually weak words in this video and comments: Hope, try, maybe, we'll see... "I'm going to do it and nothing can stop me."
Great video info. But if you just place the camera somewhere and speak into it would make it 10x better. There is so much camera movement it makes it hard to watch
1. No calories till 12 noon 2. Oatmeal raisins for lunch 3. No junk food 4. No liquid calories 5. Walk one hr a day. Walking 1 hr a day equals 36lbs of fat per year
I dont understand how people "struggle" to eat more than 200kcal worth of taters in 1 sitting... i legit down a kilo and am not satiated AT ALL... if i eat until full/satisfied, i need like 1.5kg minimum...
I haven’t been making videos this year. I am still gluten free, as a DNA test confirmed celiac. I was also vegetarian for a little over a year following this detox. I added back in a very small amount of meat and fish, 1-2 servings a week. I’ve maintained the weight loss from that video for 18 months, and planning on starting another calorie cut this week to lose the last 25lbs. That would put me at my 5 year goal of losing 125lbs. I’ve been intentionally doing it very slowly to let myself adjust to the new lifestyle along the way.
I just found you, so just hoping it all went well. I call myself a lifetime food addict. Still powerless to completely eat like a "normie." I lost about 80 lbs when I tightened up my vegetarian eating plan to vegan.. mostly raw. I was committed. Well, that didn't last, and I began to justify... well, you know. I need to weigh myself so I can get real, but this video has helped. I claim to be following the Maximum Weight Loss Plan/drmcdougall.com ... but I tend to justify eating in ways that don't serve me well. I always get a few lbs off, and immediately put it back on. Keeps me in that perpetual diet mentality place. Still, like you, i'm not as obsessed about old binge foods as I used to be, so I consider that a plus. Thanks for your honesty. I'm going to check out your other videos.
Ok. You’ve convinced me. I’m gonna do it and commit to 21 days. Did you follow soudfit or Potato reset or just did whatever you thought was best? Did you prep your family’s food before hand?
I didn’t follow anyone else’s plan. I just ate potatoes. No plan necessary. I used small amounts of seasonings, but kept it very basic and minimal, as the whole point was to keep it bland to “reset” my taste preferences and cravings. I’m not much of a food prepper, so I just cooked as normal for my family. However, half way through the first week, I developed a sinus infection, and between that and beginning a new medication, I ended up with a multi-day migraine, so my husband took on most of the meal making for several days. I don’t recommend starting any sort of elimination diet when beginning a new medication or any other lifestyle change. One thing at a time is better for the body, and also better to pinpoint whatever it is that is causing the issues you’re trying to fix with the diet. It’s coming up in two years since I made this video, and I have kept the weight off. I also discovered through this diet that I have extreme gluten intolerance. I haven’t tested positive for celiac (you have to be eating gluten for the test to work, and I’m not subjecting myself to that just to get validation from the test), but I did a 23andMe DNA test and it said that I have a high likelihood for celiac. That’s enough validation for me, and I haven’t touched gluten since this video.
Salt is salt. NaCl is all the same. Color or procedence don't change its properties. Pink is for the iron rust. Sea salt has microplastics and other contaminants, like lead.
I did the potato cleanse for 5 days and lost 15 lbs. I came down with a cleanse cold. It was horrible, but cleared on day 3. Well done!
Hy how many potatoes did you take in a day??
aysher moh'd rasheed usually 6. 2 large potatoes per meal. But I would say maybe 6-8.
Thank you for the reply am on my first day
I really wanna do this but.. corona
@@elevenpoisons2484 what does corona have to do with the potato diet?? It will cleanse your body.
i have just read the starch solution and been following a plant based diet for one month and i dont think ill ever go back to meat and dairy again .....im eating a big bowl of potatoes for lunch and supper and i feel fantastic
Congratulations for you how much weight you lost
Meat and dairy isn’t unhealthy it’s the processed foods and sugar

How did the potato diet go
How long did you end up sticking to the potato diet?
so how what were the results?
Well done my dear, the difference from when you started to when you finished was very noticeable, your complexion was very different, thank you, Im starting mine Monday
Day 7 and down 9 lbs is fantastic!!!
I've plateaued and haven't been loosing any weight for several days on this diet.
I've been eating plain boiled white potatoes of the exact same sort and I don't so much as squeeze lemon or even add salt to it.
Feeling really demotivated after several days of no progress. Why isn't this working?
@@IllusionSector maybe you have high blood sugar over the time period.

Thanks! I’ve continued to do very well since I did this.
Still vegetarian and gluten free. Binges are under control, and I’m down over 30lbs.
Olive oil is pocessed and refined. Eat the olives.
you have to cook em and store em overnight and reheat next day to get max results. Started today. For my weight loss want to lose 8 lbs
Hi Jerry, Spudfit says reheating shows very minimal results. Good luck with your weight loss 👍🥔
stuck at 200 lbs. had to go back to regular diet. Having a bit more luck with water fasting.
I have found you have to trick the body to lose weight. you must something different each time
I have sleep apnea with a machine so i think that does not help.

But, I'm Vegan anyway, just taking out vegan food, like vegan cheese, mayo Vegan , things like that
doesn't follow the diet, doesn't experience some of the benefits.... lol
Gosh you look amazing in the Before And AFTER !😵💁 shows its worked 💃👍 x

You had a cold because you were detoxing, you look so much better, your puffiness is so much better, and you skin and color looks better.
Subscribed! I also binge. I think this would be a good way to help get that control back.
This has been very helpful. I’m “older” and can’t seems to loose a pound!
The proper potato cleanse is a vegan reset as far as I know and does allow non starchy vegetables. Look up potato wisdom on RUclips
Based on what science? Post the studies.

Help your family also to eat healthy so they won’t have to be worried about their weight in their teen years. When you have flu symptoms electrolitos like pedialyte to restore your fluids and not dehydrated.
day 7, from 208 to 201. sick of potatoes added broccoli today . 180 is my goal diet. but i do it in phases so my body will accept the new weight.
so 3.8 years 262 to 200. one year stuck at 220. i am not eating till noon so fasting from 8pm to 12
i was told appetite would die down and it has. I kind of don't like food right now which is fine.
hope everyone does well
Wtg I'm stuck too at 204 use to weigh 273 but I have never done these diets I am going to attempt you have inspired me can we be friends lol
the 2nd time i tried i only lasted 2 days. my body will let me lose 15-20 at time then i must let it chill for a few months. I have to accept slow and steady wins the race.
learn about intermediate fast ing I always skip breakfast now. You have to trick your body and do something different each time
Penn lost 90 lbs in 90 days that is really outstanding. keep in touch
Im ending day 4 right now and i have to say that by day 2 i could already feel a difference. And i feel more focused. Tired yet energized at the same time lol. I also had a problem with eating. Cause i was bored or depressed. This has really helped me. Im not focused at all on food. I feel like I'm living again
It takes a while for your body to heal itself
Caloric density of potatoes is low...so is level of fat...so perfect for reset as they are also nutritionally complete...not sure how Andrew did it for a year...but for a shorter period...totally doable...I get stuffed with potatoes and lose .5 lb per day...I always have steamed non starchy veggies as well... still good weight loss and reset!
You don't need to buy potato starch to make potato soup, you just need potatoes.Anyone doing this diet needs some fat for energy, even if it's just some olive oil. Well done, good job.
No oil is needed at all for someone trying to lose weight. Andrew Taylor ate only potatoes for an entire year, and lost 110 lbs, and cured his junk food addiction. He went from obese to a healthy weight.
I hope you and your family are doing well. ❤️
Your skin DOES look lovely on Day 14
Ideally you shouldn’t use seasoning. Its brutal to not, but otherwise defeats the overall purpose.
Feeling lousy mayve been withdrawal from the awful foods. Withdrawal from bad things is always a bitch.
I did the potato only diet for a month and by the end I had never felt so awake and so energetic in my life!
You have a nice voice... Thanks for the video!!!
What??? Too raspy. Easily improved by gargling/washing the throat clean.
I can see you got rid of a lot of inflammation which has to be so good for you
Imagine having shelves with nothing on them... I can't.
100-150 calories only? Thats like 1-1/2 potato only! I can do 5-6 no problem at all…. I eat 5-6 pounds a day
Your skin does look better
Today is my first day of potato diet challenge hoping it works for me😍
hi..wondering how was your potato diet challenge?did you lose some weight?
Eggs, nuts, sheesh. How can you call what you did an elimination diet? You are definitely right about the 12 lbs being mostly water weight. The fact that you found potatoes boring is an indication of not staying on them long enough. I agree with those below that your "cold" was probably more a symptom of detoxification than of virus. The headache? dehydration. I don't think you did your best. I hope you try a potato-only diet sometime, not for days but for weeks if not months; i think you'll like it. But hey that's easy for me to say.
The old & other issues were probably a detox response. 14 days is probably nothing like long enough to get a real benefit.
New here!
How do you cook the spuds?
How many a day?
Thank
You
Maybe try Chef AJ's ultimate weight loss diet.
could only do 7 days. but i will do it again but i want my weight to stabilize near 200
204-200 is new range. i get hungry on intermittent fasting at night working on that.
you have cheat a little or you will cheat a lot.
Thanks for sharing!
So many spiritually weak words in this video and comments: Hope, try, maybe, we'll see...
"I'm going to do it and nothing can stop me."

Starch is not a bad thing.
Thank you for sharing 👏
Did you track/weight the potatoe I just started today and I’m not sure if I’m WAY over eating!!
THANK you for answering xo
To reset, the potatoes should not have anything, no herbs, no pepper, if it’s absolutely necessary then add some salt.
Great video info. But if you just place the camera somewhere and speak into it would make it 10x better. There is so much camera movement it makes it hard to watch
Made some almond "sourcream yogurt" with dill and garlic. So good on potatoes!
I'm considering this diet, I have 100 lbs to lose. After the 2nd week I can add boiled chicken and a little of the chicken stock?
Philip.. good luck how ya doing...? I am happy with my first 2 weeks of losing 12 pounds..but I love potatoes..
1. No calories till 12 noon
2. Oatmeal raisins for lunch
3. No junk food
4. No liquid calories
5. Walk one hr a day.
Walking 1 hr a day equals 36lbs of fat per year
I hear allot of people talk about getting headaches maybe because of detoxing but just curious if you can take medicine like Advil or Tylenol?
Can I eat sweet potatoes instead?
I dont understand how people "struggle" to eat more than 200kcal worth of taters in 1 sitting... i legit down a kilo and am not satiated AT ALL... if i eat until full/satisfied, i need like 1.5kg minimum...
Gradually eating better leading up to a very restrictive diet helps bc it lessens the withdrawal
your skin is glowing
Hi are you still doing video's?? I saw your video today 3-7-19 & I wanted to see your updates plz💕💕💕
I haven’t been making videos this year. I am still gluten free, as a DNA test confirmed celiac. I was also vegetarian for a little over a year following this detox. I added back in a very small amount of meat and fish, 1-2 servings a week. I’ve maintained the weight loss from that video for 18 months, and planning on starting another calorie cut this week to lose the last 25lbs. That would put me at my 5 year goal of losing 125lbs. I’ve been intentionally doing it very slowly to let myself adjust to the new lifestyle along the way.
Hold the camera still . Moving way too much . Keep up the healthy eating !!
I love the channal's name 😌😌😌💛💛💛😉😉😉
You started adding in things on day 7, but earlier in the video you said the first week is only potatoes.
I just found you, so just hoping it all went well. I call myself a lifetime food addict. Still powerless to completely eat like a "normie." I lost about 80 lbs when I tightened up my vegetarian eating plan to vegan.. mostly raw. I was committed. Well, that didn't last, and I began to justify... well, you know. I need to weigh myself so I can get real, but this video has helped. I claim to be following the Maximum Weight Loss Plan/drmcdougall.com ... but I tend to justify eating in ways that don't serve me well. I always get a few lbs off, and immediately put it back on. Keeps me in that perpetual diet mentality place. Still, like you, i'm not as obsessed about old binge foods as I used to be, so I consider that a plus. Thanks for your honesty. I'm going to check out your other videos.
Thank sound good.
oh. you said "aboot." you're from Seskatchawan
Or anywhere in Canada lol
What is the deal with those empty shelves? Just curious. Thank you
I was obsessing over the UPC labels left on the brackets. Wanted to rip them off!
We really don't need to see feet.
Indeed. lol.
Ok. You’ve convinced me. I’m gonna do it and commit to 21 days. Did you follow soudfit or Potato reset or just did whatever you thought was best? Did you prep your family’s food before hand?
I didn’t follow anyone else’s plan. I just ate potatoes. No plan necessary. I used small amounts of seasonings, but kept it very basic and minimal, as the whole point was to keep it bland to “reset” my taste preferences and cravings.
I’m not much of a food prepper, so I just cooked as normal for my family. However, half way through the first week, I developed a sinus infection, and between that and beginning a new medication, I ended up with a multi-day migraine, so my husband took on most of the meal making for several days.
I don’t recommend starting any sort of elimination diet when beginning a new medication or any other lifestyle change. One thing at a time is better for the body, and also better to pinpoint whatever it is that is causing the issues you’re trying to fix with the diet.
It’s coming up in two years since I made this video, and I have kept the weight off. I also discovered through this diet that I have extreme gluten intolerance. I haven’t tested positive for celiac (you have to be eating gluten for the test to work, and I’m not subjecting myself to that just to get validation from the test), but I did a 23andMe DNA test and it said that I have a high likelihood for celiac. That’s enough validation for me, and I haven’t touched gluten since this video.
How did it go? 😁
What is your favorite chapstick?
You are detoxing
yeah, you got the keto flu, despite not doing keto.
just say it...farting. FARTING!!!
Yes STINKY WIND😵
Faaaaaaarting!!
I doubt my ability the first day! It's hard to do when you like delicious food 😫
Vinegar slows proper digestion.
Avoid table salt; Pink or Celtic salt is great.
will promise, I never heard of that. Going to check it out. Thanks!
Salt is salt. NaCl is all the same. Color or procedence don't change its properties. Pink is for the iron rust. Sea salt has microplastics and other contaminants, like lead.
