Thanks Joey, my daughter and I are starting this with the group Feb.22
how many 🥔potatoes do you eat
I think you do a great explanation of Mary's Mini!! I have watched many others do it .... I think you do a good job of it!! Thanks.
Can we use yellow potatoes or does it have to be white potatoes?
I just researched this at work last night, then got home and saw your video, I'm starting tomorrow! And today is day 1 of no alcohol, wish me luck, time to put me first and get healthy!
Stephanie, it is always a good day to start putting yourself first. You cant take care of others if you don't take care of yourself, right? Good Luck. Hit me up if you feel like you need inspiration or guidance. I am very approachable in the FB group and on IG. Thanks so much for watching.
How did you get on? Alcholol is hard one for me to quit
How did this work for you a year down the road?
This video is 3 yo at the time I am watching it. Thank you so much!! This is the best video explaining how MM works. I am just starting my WFPB Starch Solution way of life due to serious health issues. You really don’t know how much of a lifesaver this is. I stopped the video half way through to go join the fb group. See you along the way.
I remember when Mary's Mini began. It was before "The Starch Solution" was written.
I totally fell off the WFPB wagon. I’ve got to get back on. I’ve been thinking about doing MM. You may have inspired me.
Hi Connie. There is plenty of space on this wagon next to me! Get up here and lets keep going. I hate doing this stuff by myself. HA! We are doing a 21 day 50/50 plate challenge right now and then we will do a 7 day MM after that. Join us. Thanks so much for watching.
What is the difference between the 50/50 and Mary's Mini? Thanks
@@fruitascension5089 50/50 can be an assortment of starches and non starchy veggies but Mary's Mini.. you pick ONE starch for 10 days and you stick with it along with non starchy veggies. Mary's Mini is also a 50/50 plate of starch and veggies. Hope this helps
Joey, thank you, you just saved my life. I’ve been swimming in a sea of recipes that was serving as an excuse for me to NOT stick to this perfect lifestyle. I’ve lost 18 lbs but felt exhausted struggling with buying different groceries and cooking different recipes than my family. Now, I’ll start a Mary’s (Simple) Mini😃 and get on track without drowning. Thank you so much! You’re my new BFF! 😁
Lori, there is something about us that makes us want to make every meal look ready for photographs and instagram. When we do that, we get way too far from what we originally started this way of eating for in the first place. Like you just mentioned, we have to focus on just the basics. An elaborate plant based meal should be a treat once a week, not the norm. I really had to learn that all over again. But once I did, the scale started moving again. Sometimes we just need a little refresher, right? Thanks so much for watching.
One thing about mcdougall that impressed me was the fact he understood how addictive some foods can be. Nuts can be really tempting, especially with salt and sugar, fruit as well, although not as much for me, but still.
I can usually have a handful and then I am done. But they add up quick
Dear Joey, just had a friend introduce your jewel to me! This is just what me and my body need to get back to Health and send divorce papers to my Covid weight, almost another Me. I 'm All in and I adore your presence/film style.Thank you thank you
Aqeel, thanks so much for the kind words. We have a support group on Facebook called Starch Solution Enthusiasts. We will be starting a 7 day Mary's Mini on April 26th. Join us and do it with us.

This was an EXCELLENT video about Mary's Mini!!!
Thanks. I wanted to put all the info out there into one video so people could get started with confidence. Thanks so much for watching.
It's a great emergency diet if you are overwhelmed and just need something to relieve whatever you are going through as fast as possible.
I agree
Thank you, Joey! You inspired me to get back to basics. I've been vegan since 5/31/2017 & vegetarian for 20+ years prior to that. I EASILY lost 30 pounds when I became vegan, but over the past pandemic year I've slowly regained 20 pounds by eating vegan junk food, Thai take out, over consuming vegan goodies and YOU'RE RIGHT! Mary's Mini WORKS! I, like you, eat potatoes ALL the time, so the rice was a lovely and delicious change. I've lost 5 pounds. I'm on day 5 and just cooking up a batch of "fried" rice. Your lime, cilantro rice with the bay leaf was DELISH. Thank you. Will make over and over. Thanks for always providing great content. I also enjoy your closet, gazebo, etc DIY videos. Thanks again. Keep it up!
Vallory. Thanks so much for all that. I never known if people are going to be turned off by the DIY videos I post but to me, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. So, I like sharing those experiences. We are loving the gazebo right now here in Phoenix. Ok, so I also went vegetarian 14 years ago. Back then, there was no junk food to eat. But as you know, vegan junk food now mimics meat eater junk food and we are all getting just as unhealthy as they are. So, we really have to buckle down with eating better. I am glad I found this way of living and I am so glad you are on the journey with me. I think the Marys Mini really just reminds us that we are putting too much thought into every meal, and that we just need to keep it simple . Thanks so much for watching.
Scale stopped moving a year ago! Thanks for the easy explanation - I'm starting tomorrow!
Veronica. If you are on FB, join our Starch Solution FB Group. We are doing a 7 days Mary's Mini challenge starting Monday in the group. We are all posting our food photos and recipes and supporting each other.
facebook.com/groups/plantbaseddads
Your recipes sound like a great idea. I am doing my very 1st Mary's mini with rice. I'm on day 8. My weight loss is slow but it is going down very slowly. I was the same weight on 2 of the days. I will continue to hang in there. Thanks for the tips!
This is literally the most informative video I’ve seen on Mary’s Mini. I tried one about 2 years ago and floundered. I really appreciate your systematic and strategic approach. When one doesn’t understand the whys it is easy to unwittingly over complicate or sabotage efforts.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Never heard of this will be starting on this week. I love rice and have been eating it for a couple of days but I think I will try it with potatoes.
Great video! Been vegan for 2 years but my weight has been up and down and lately it’s been way up. Just read the starch solution and can’t wait to start Mary’s mini on Monday. You have made it very easy to undertand it all. Keep it simple😊
Sounds like it will benefit both my waistline and
my wallet, perfect for the end of the month. Going to try it!
Margriet, You could totally do this economically for sure. I am going to do a budget MM video at some point. Thanks so much for watching.
Hello! I didn’t know about the Mary’s mini, definitely going to try. Scale has been stuck.
Hi Cindy. I really learned a lot about what I need to change by doing this diet. Watching the scale move again made me realized I am making food too complicated. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks for the post. After watching this I am going to start Mary's mini using rice as my starch. I will be checking out your Cilantro line and Spanish rice videos. Simple is the word.
Wonderful! Thanks so much for watching.
You’re reading my mind! I was thinking a Mary’s Mini challenge would be awesome! 😁
Leah, if you are in the FB group we are starting a MM challenge on Feb 22nd. I will make a post about it this weekend in the group. Thanks so much for watching.
@@PlantBasedDads I’m in!!!! 😀
Think fruit has been a topic on Mary's Mini FB and I believe the Dr. is allowing one fruit a day. I would stick to berries as they are high in fiber which slows sugar down quite a bit as it is digested.
Hi Paula. This video is an older one. There is a new, updated one that talks about the fruit and how much is allowed now. Thanks for watching
THANK YOU, I needed this today! Been eating tortillas chips and chocolate and have managed to gain a couple lbs. time to get back on track today ☺️
Lindsy, Tortilla chips and chocolate are two of my favorite food groups. You and I can never hang out and snack together, it would not go well. HA!! Thanks so much for watching.
Have tried it in the past and did not last long. Will try again with your next 21 day challenge.
We do The Starch Solution for 21 days every month in the FB group and then we do a Marys Mini for 7-10 days depending on how many days are left in the month. Do that with us. It is a lot of fun. Thanks so much for watching.
Hi Joey, thanks for the great content. After being vegetarian for years, then going vegan a year ago, I finally convinced my husband to try the starch solution with me! And we are kicking it off with a Mary’s Mini! I am excited for this because we haven’t achieved the weight loss we desire from eating vegan. That being said, my husband does love the mock meats, processed snacks and nuts! So we are going full bore on this. I need to lose 12 lbs and he needs to lose 20. So I am a faithful watcher of you guys and really appreciate the good honest information that you share. Wish us luck and keep up the good work on your channel. Blessings 👍🌈🙋♀️🙏🥦🍎
That is awesome. Thanks so much for watching.
Love it starting mine today
Hi Jess. Good luck with it. If you need guidance or support, we have a lot of people in the FB group that are doing this also. Thanks so much for watching.
I just started the starch diet and my friend sent me this video - it was very well said and put together and has me raring to start. Thank you for all your research to make my life easier. 💖
love the idea of a mary mini after the 21 days!
Right? I agree, I think its just a refresher in how to cook simply and effectively. Thanks so much for watching.
Great video Joey. Thanks. Off topic though, Would love a house tour some day.
If I ever have laundry off the couch and a clean desk, I am totally doing a house tour! Thanks so much for watching.
Ok, Joey, you’ve convinced me to try the next MM! Goodbye to chocolate chips Wednesday, for now! I’m excited to see that scale move down again! Let’s do it!! 👏🏻🤩🌱
Brenda, I loves me some chocolate chips. But its only for 7-10 days. We can do this!! Thanks so much for watching.
Awesome video for an explanation of Mary's Mini. Best I found. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Joey, very helpful, I didn’t think about using rice I was thinking potatoes but your recipes give me ideas on how to be successful. Thank you. Be safe.
I wanted to do something other than potatoes to give me the chance to be more creative. Thanks so much for watching.
I just joined the Facebook group and I think I am going to do the MM at the end. I've been doing the starch solution for three weeks now and have lost 7 pounds but I think that I need a little kick in the butt. Thanks for the video!
Hi Andrea. 7lbs in three weeks is amazing. We are staring the MM on Feb 22nd for 7 days. See you there. Thanks so much for watching.
This was a fantastic video~ I always wondered what Mary's Mini was all about. Thank-you!!!
Karen, so glad you liked it. I just wanted all of the Mary's Mini information in one place so people could get it all at once. Thanks so much for watching.
Wasn’t sure fully wha it was besides the 1/2 1/2 plate…..got good tips. Appreciated.
Thanks for the Mary’s Mini explanation. I’ve seen lots of FB posts about it, but this was a very good how to video. I may just join your FB group and join in at the end of the month Mary’s Mini Challenge. I don’t need to lose weight, but I love a good challenge with a supportive fb group. I’ve been WFPB for 6 years following Dr. Greger’s daily dozen for 5 years.
Cheryl, I love Dr. Greger. Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you! This was clear and simple. I am struggling making the switch because I cook for my husband. One comment below was about needing to make myself a priority. Think that’s what I need to do.
You have to take care of yourself first before you can take care of everyone else in the household. I had to learn that along the way also. Thanks so much for watching.
Great video! I moved to the Starch solution about six months ago and it’s been great and I lost about 20 pounds easily. However the scale pretty much stays the same now and I still have about 15 pounds I want to lose so I think this will be a great challenge for me! Thanks!
Nadine, that is kind of what caused me to start doing the Marys Mini. It also made me realize that I was eating to much on SS. Thanks so much for watching.
Onion soup mix is bomb on potatoes. Even roasted.
Hi Nikkii. That is a really good idea for pouring over a potato. Thanks so much for watching.
Wow, am I ever thankful I found your videos. You have made the Mary's mini program so appealing in its simplicity and your rice dishes look soooo delicious. Simplicity and advance preparation make the likelihood of compliance to the plan very high. There are many good online speakers but you are very easy going, straight forward making you a pleasure to watch. I'm hooked! Thanks for helping me get back on track.
Joey...you must have been reading my mind 😆. I just decided yesterday that I wanted to do a Mary’s mini. And here you are my hero with everything I need to start. ❤️
Funny, I decided the same thing yesterday!
Hi Kim. So glad the timing worked out. We are going to do a Marys Mini at the end of every month in the FB group so if you get sidetracked and need a few thousand others to support you with it, join us! Let me know how you do on this. I am always inspired by watching others try. Thanks so much for watching.
I think we are all realizing summer swim season is coming. HA! Thanks so much for watching.
Plant based dad's? Um yes please. 😍
I am doing really well every time I do Mary's Mini. It really teaches me a lot. Thanks so much for watching.
I lost 3.6 during the last mini. I probably could’ve done better but I ate sweet potatoes a couple of times. I’m starting the rice mini today. I’m wondering if carrots are allowed? They are essentially like sweet peas. My plan is to eat only brown rice for my mini for the entire 10 days. I’m thinking of just making it for 2 weeks (14 days instead of 10). I’ll revisit that after seeing how I feel after the 10 days. Thanks for the motivation & support.
Hi Brenda. Carrots are a non-starchy veg on McDougall programs. So you would have to choose one of the starches from the starch list. Keep me updated on your progress, I cant wait to hear about it. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks so much for explaining the mini.
Hi Lynda. Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you...for explaining Mary's mini....appreciate...great help!!
Gonna do this week...Michelle from Australia 🥦🌽🍅🍄🥕🍉🍍🥑🥬🌶
I love all of our Aussie supporters. Thanks so much for watching.
Joey, you ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION to all of us!!!. You do all the leg work for us. I really do appreciate you, very much! I have private messaged you a few times, you always get back to me, and you are very helpful and you really do care. Thank you for explaining this so well for all of us. I will try again. thanks. :)
Carol, I always return private messages as you know. Sometimes I takes me a while because I refuse to use my phone for social media with that tiny screen. SO I have to wait until I get back to my desktop computer at my desk. But, I like conversations with people so I always make sure to respond to everyone on FB and on YT. Thanks so much for watching.
Great informative video, Joey! I also had the scales move during my (imperfect) Mary’s Mini in January and look forward to doing it again with you in February. It really grounded me and made me pause and think about everything I ate. And planning was super simple! Yes, I still made other meals for my family members, which wasn’t easy, but I stayed strong. Your Facebook group is the best! 💪🤩
Hi Linda. I was amazed how just going back to one starch and some simple veggies caused the scaled to start moving again. It makes sense when I think about it. So proud of you for staying strong and not letting the bad habits of family members become your bad habits. Even if we slip up at times, if we can stay on track for 90 percent of the time, we are going to be good. Thanks so much for watching.
Great teaching !
Thank you for taking the time.
Happy days to you 🙂
My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching.
Well, now I know who "Mary' is- grin- I have some of their books from long ago,
I just realize I love mustard on my microwave whole potatoes. I made a potato pouch just to microwave potatoes.
I order a potato pouch from Amazon then made my own from their design. The Amazon pouch is no more, so I have my homemade backups
Someone just told me about the potato pouch recently. I had no idea. Never heard of it till then. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks for another great video! I like Mary's Minis for the psycological benefits. They always help me sort out my feelings, motivations, and assumptions around food. Mary's Mini! What's not to like?
Exactly, what's not to like! You totally rock! Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you, have watched a few videos once I heard about this diet but your video is the best explanation I've found, thank you for sharing 👍🤗
Thank you Joey ! This helped me so much !
Glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you very much. Just joined the Facebook group. 😊
Hi Elizabeth. That is awesome. Thanks so much for watching.
Hello from Brazil 🇧🇷 Best vídeo on Mary’s mini! Thank you!!
Lookin good Joey! Keep it up brother.
I was influenced by you doing your running and everything so I pulled back slightly on lifting and started training for marathons and triathlons.
Being as big as I was for as long as I was.... what better way to show what people can do at any age than doing it at 41 after losing all my weight.
Thank you for helping so many people out. You are an inspiration
Jason, you are an animal. I love that you are now training for Marathons. Thanks so much for watching.
@@PlantBasedDads Well if it helps at all I want you to know that you were an inspiration for me to do so.
Today is the 1st time in my entire life, 41 years on this planet and I finally ran an entire mile without needing to take a break or slowdown.
This was by far the best video I’ve seen! I am headed to your Facebook page and will start the end of the month challenge with you all. Thank you so much for the simplicity of this video. I am so darn tired of being stuck at this plateau. It’s time to break it!!!!
Thanks for joining the group. It is our first Marys Mini Challenge so It will be interesting to see how everyone does on this thing. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks for introducing me to Mary’s mini. I definitely have never heard of it but it goes along with your starch solution diet. Except no fruit and avocado and I love both. But I completely understand you spoke about how many calories are in fruits. Love to see what you ate on it including your fried rice
It's so good! Thanks so much for watching.
Just waiting to be added to your fb group. I’m going to start the challenge along with you all.
Awesome! Thank you! Thanks so much for watching.
Great overview! Wondering where to find your fried rice recipe? Thanks for being there for us
Thanks for bringing this up. I just added the link to the recipe in the description under the video. I am also putting it right here for you. Thanks so much for watching.
ruclips.net/video/ImKCqip6hzg/видео.html
Great video! Well explained, you made it seem pretty doable.
Hi Shelley. Thanks for the kind words. Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you for a very clear explanation on how to go about this simply and be successful. .
Kim, Glad it was helpful! We do a Mary's Mini challenge in the FB group at the end of every month. Check it out. Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you for this clarification.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks for the information, I couldn’t find it. This is really helpful x
Elizabeth, when I decided to do the Marys Mini, there was just some scattered vlogs and a few interviews and that was all the info. So I thought it should all be located in one video with what to do, how to do it and why it has to be done a certain way. Thanks so much for watching.
Mary’s Mini sounds like something I’d like to do since I am a follower of Dr.McDougall and his Starch Solution. The Mini would help me rid the 5-8 lbs I’ve been trying to drop.
I unfortunately don’t use Facebook. By the way I used to live in Fountain Hills and now live in Washington state. Nice to see someone from my old stomping grounds!😀
Hi Suzzane. How funny that you lived so close to me at one point. Yes Mary's Mini will totally help with those last few pound. Thanks so much for watching.
This was a fantastic video! Thanks for breaking it down and for the great tips. Will def join you this month and give the Mini a try
Carla, the MM challenge in the group starts Feb 22nd. I will make a post about it this week. Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you very much for the easy explain a day you are very clear to understand the style. Thank you.
You're very welcome! Thanks so much for watching.
thank you !! I'm starting it tomorrow and getting the control of my health back ^_^ !!
❤from Denmark
Joey,
Thank You for this video, very informative and helpful! You spent a lot of time researching and presenting comprehensively what the Mary's Mini is and how to be successful w/ it. Thanks for the hard work! I needed to hear it......
SK in USA (NC)
Hi SK, thanks so much for saying that. I actually did put a lot of time into this trying to get all the info in one place for people so I am so glad that came across. Thanks so much for watching.
You said it... such a relief to not be afraid of carbs...potatoes forever!
Sue, don't get me started on that crazy low carb thing. My in-laws are doing that. Every time we visit they see me cooking potatoes and wont eat it because they cant have carbs. Then, we are out shopping and they are starving and they have to stop and get fast food, usually in a big burrito shell. Umm carbs!!! That diet is not sustainable. But, you cant get through to everyone, right? All hail the potato, baby! Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you so so much for making it so easy to do..........Scottish girl u.k
Thanks for this! I gained 20 lbs over the last year. Vegan diet isn't quite cutting it right now. I need to reset!
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH .SA
Good video Joey, now I see what I was missing 👍 Gary
This is the whole story! Now you are an expert on Mary's Mini. Thanks so much for watching.
I’m glad to find you! I’m eating the same!
Thank you so very much for doing this!! I shared it with two people who like myself am doing a version of the Starch solution. This helps tremendously!
Charlene, thanks so much for doing that. We are starting the Marys Mini challenge in the FB group on Feb 22nd for 7 days. Thanks so much for watching.
@@PlantBasedDads I'm in!! I had agreed with someone in the group to start on the 25th however i like to start on a Monday, so i'm in with this!!
Thanks for posting! I want to try this I started the starch solution 3 weeks ago and I'm feeling so much better over the weekend I visited my sister and I did not eat so well and I'm definitely feeling it when I started the starch solution I had already cut out Dairy and gluten and eggs I feel so much better on the plant-based diet though I love your videos!
Hi Ashley. It is amazing when we eat healthy for a while and then go back to our old ways for a day or two, our bodies are like "umm nope, not having it!!". Keep me updated on how you are doing on SS. Just get right back at it and pick up where you left off. We all fall off the wagon at times, but there is plenty of room to get back on. I am saving you a space right next to me. You got this!
@@PlantBasedDads thanks so much! Yes we got this! Your spring roll video inspired me to try to make my own so I'm going to try today really excited to try something new!
Yes. You presented it so well and made it simple to understand. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching.
So very helpful, thank you for putting this together
Great video. Im starting mini Mary next week, before Easter. Bown rice is my choice. Thank you for the recipes.
Hope you enjoy. Thanks so much for watching.
Im going to try this. Thanks for making it easy to understand. I aim to go full starch solution but i want to kickstart the weightloss
Thanks for the video. I think it’s good for people who have never done MM. If you have fallen off the wagon, MM is a great way to reset. One e thing I don’t understand is why you say peas are not included. I watched Mary’s podcast and peas are allowed, not just the ones in the pods but proper frozen peas.
Hi Samara. I said that because on the other McDougal programs, peas outside the pod are starches. I am sure thats what Mary meant to say on the video where she mentions peas, but she doesn't get specific on them. For many people transitioning back and forth in SS and MM, it makes sense to treat them as a starch since they can not be eaten in the pod. That is how I interpret peas on MM. It has to be the same as Starch Solution. There is just no way that one of his programs treats peas as a starch and the other program treats it as a non starch. I agree with you that MM is a great way to get back on track with eating HCLF diet. It really helped me understand what I was doing wrong. Thanks so much for watching.
This is just what I needed
Very helpful! Thank you for breaking it down. Looking forward to the new challenge!
Hi Ginger. Thanks so much for watching.
This was a great video and I just subscribed to your channel. My Starch Solution book arrives today and I’m so excited.
Hi Jen, yay!! So excited for you. We have a FB group is you need support and you are on FB. Its just 13k people all doing the starch solution.
@@PlantBasedDads Thanks! I requested to join your Starch Solutions group earlier today. 😀
Thank you so much, Joey! I love watching your videos 👍🏼🤗
Else, always good to see comments form you. I really learned a lot during this whole Mary's Mini thing. Thanks so much for watching.
Appreciated your breakdown of Mary's mini and how keeping it simple is the key. I can see how having foods with lots of ingredients can add up the calories. I'm going to try it this week ! Thanks
First I love your video. You speak loud clear and do not have music. But you went against what you are teaching, You say just use veggies don't go crazy making recipes, then you show us all your recipes.??? So I guess having my starch mixed with onions and zucchini? I did the Starch solution for a moth I lost 8 lbs but it started to come back I don't know why. I love eating this way, I don't need a diet I just need to lose 20lbs.... I want this to be my new WOE it is very satisfying. I subbed, I ant to learn more. Thank you
While I want the food to be simple on Marys Mini, I also want to be able to eat it for quite a few meals, so its just my nature to dress it up just a tiny bit. HA! but yes, you are right, it needs to be simple for continued weight loss. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks so much for all the information and advice , your explanation and experience on Mary's Mini has made me realise I am over thinking the Starch Solutions. I'm trying out all different recipes and it has occurred to me that yes I am eating way too much , so I am going back to eating simple. I loooove fruit and to give this up is going to be the hardest challenge.
Maxine, the reason we give up fruit is because we can easily eat too much of it. If you can make sure you limit it during MM, it will probably be fine. It was allowed in the beginning but people tend to snack on it all day. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks so much for the videos and the challenges. I have to admit I haven’t been able to finish one because I still have a lot of Vegan food in my fridge and pantry, but maybe I can finish Mary’s Mini! Thanks again!
Lynn, I like the MM because it just for a short time. We will be doing one in the FB group on Feb 22nd for 7 days so join us for that. Thanks so much for watching.
Your videos are so relatable and informative. I'm all ready for my first MM starting this coming Monday, April 26th. Can't wait. Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes (red, purple, gold, yukon.)
You can do it! I just finished meal prepping for my Corn Mini. So excited. Tacos every day baby!!! Thanks so much for watching.
Tell me more about what kinds of things you'll eat when corn is your starch, please!🤷🏼♀️😁
Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it.
Hi Jasmine. So glad! Thanks so much for watching.
Try red black and wild rice! My favorite is black rice!
Hi Cheryl. Yes, I need to venture out and try other rices for sure. Thanks so much for watching.
Great video with lots of good info!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching.
My issue with meal prepping is I have to cook so much if I want to share with my hubby. Your the first channel I’ve come across where you may have the same issue❤️ What portion sizes do you have that fill you up and you are able to share with the others in your household?
Dawna, I always try to eat as much food as I can fit on my plate. That stops me from getting hungry between meals. So I go through all the food I cook fairly quickly. Thanks so much for watching.
This is my first PBD video. Thank you so much for this explanation on Mary's Mini. I did it before, but I switched back and forth between white and sweet potatoes. Although I did lose some weight, it was not as successful as I had hoped. Now I feel empowered to successfully tackle this. I would join your FB group, but I don't care for social media. So I will just continue to follow you on RUclips. Thanks again
Joi, I hear ya. I am not a fan of social media also. So glad you got something out of this video. I really feel like that diet helped me to understand that I need to stick with basic, simple foods and not keep making things complicated. Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you, awesome explanation .
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching.
Ty so much awesome information will be starting tomorrow
Thanks for the video
Very detailed 👌
Hello. Thanks so much for watching.
Love you guys! Thank you for sharing so much with all of us. ♥️
Kristi, good to see you. Thanks for always commenting on the videos. I loved sharing all of this with everyone. I am doing a Mary's Mini right now for 7 days and I will be doing a video to talk about that too. Thanks so much for watching.
Hey! It’s been awhile since I watched this video. What are your thoughts on frozen green beans on MM? I love them so much and they’re such a staple for me. I want to do another mini, but it’s like GIVE ME GREEN BEANS OR GIVE ME DEATH 🤣
Thanks Joey!!! I am going to give this a try. I have been stuck as well and have been eating a bit too much good fat, excess fruits, etc. Thanks for the info. :)
Peter, I am right there with you. Why do avocados, nuts, seeds and fruit have to be so good? Thanks so much for watching.
