Love you Kiki! You and Hannah were the first two I started watching when I decided I needed to make a change in my life. I suffer from lupus, Hashimoto, high blood pressure, and pustular psoriasis on top of that I was morbidly obese. My highest weight was 290 at 5'0. I started my journey on July 5, 2020 and as of today I am down 145 lbs and I am off my blood pressure meds, lupus, Hashimoto and pustular psoriasis are all in check with minimal flares. I still have 20-30 more to lose and I'm getting there. I am trying your cauliflower mac n cheese tonight for supper. Thank you for all the information you share with each of us it has been so helpful these two years.
I am definitely a volume eater but also a bowl eater. I've never been much of a breakfast eater so I'll eat a bowl of overnight oats with berries or a couple of oranges around noon or 1:00. My dinner is when the volume comes in. I'll mix a huge bowl of cooked vegetables with rice or potatoes. Or a large salad with 2 baked potatoes (golden or sweet potatoes). My favorite salad is a slaw mixture with kale, red and green peppers, onion, rice and which ever dressing ( oil free, sugar free) I have on hand that day. I'll add zucchini also. My sister is shocked at the size of my meal but when I show her that this huge bowl of food has the same amount of calories (or less) than 4 tablespoons of oil she is speechless. And I've lost 25 lbs since I removed oil from my diet 1/26. AND I'm a wheelchair user (limited mobility.
@@terribanks8633 I started out at 328 lbs. now 267 lbs. 180 lbs is my goal weight but I must stay in the present the numbers are still too big but the food is working so not focusing on the “skinny!”
@@jacquilewis3323 I'm at 171 currently. My goal is 130-135. Because I primarily use my arm's to lift myself (my leg muscles are so week they don't count 😄). It is much easier, the less weight I have to lift. It makes everything easier.
Have never heard about a volume eater before. It makes so much sense to me😁 I have been so ashamed of my big portions. Thanks for saying that it is okay and quite normal. I already do the cauliflower in oatmeal- and 50/50 plate- things. Will try the other ones too🥰😍🤩
Agreed, I’m easily a volume eater. My oatmeal with cauliflower breakfast usually clocks in at around 3 lbs of food for breakfast. For dinner, I try to load up on at least a couple pounds of veggies to keep the calories low.
Hey. Just ordered your book last night, and I feel like finding you is an answer to prayer. I'm a stay at home mom of 5 young kiddos, I was thin growing up, and then have yo-yoed like crazy since having kids over the years. My before and after pics are pretty dramatic (the before being thin and after being now). I have health issues that can't be explained, and I am overwhelmed at starting this clean eating because I'm not a natural cook, and it takes me a long time to learn new things. But, I am grateful and excited for the eventual change. Thank you for sharing all of your work so that other overwhelmed, lost & searching individuals like myself can get help. ~ Katie
The cauliflower rice mixed with actual rice is a complete game changer for me. That and the flavored vinegars are food miracles. Can't even tell you how effective those are.
Great advice Kiki. 50/50 plate Soup/salad before meal 1/2 cauliflower & 1/2 oatmeal Zoodles in place of pasta I'm curious enough about the cauliflower with oats to give it a try. I hope I have the same experience that you spoke of. A couple hours later...I just tried the cauliflower in oatmeal with vanilla, cinnamon, salt and maple syrup. You're right!!! I cannot taste the cauliflower but it adds texture to the oatmeal which reminds me of coconut. This is absolutely fantastic! I'm so glad you shared this idea. Thank you!
@@SissyBR I microwave it but I don't like the bumpy cauliflower texture. I solved this by using a high speed blender to smooth the cauliflower and then add it to the oatmeal. It's like eating a huge bowl of oatmeal and is very satisfying!
@@SissyBR Sorry guys, I am from Germany and my English is not the best :) My question cause I don't understand it: Do you make the oatmeal with RAW cauliflower?
@@Hope_113 for me, I just buy the frozen cauliflower rice and add some to my overnight oatmeal. By morning, can’t even taste it. Top with sliced banana and yum!
Thank you so much Kiki! I signed up for your Eat More Weigh Less program and I'm loving this way of eating. Plus I've dropped 10 pounds in the last 5 weeks, woohoo! I swear this is the easiest weight loss I've ever had plus I feel really good (and not hungry, thank gawd!)
Thanks for the tips :) in an older video you also showed how you made a bowl with the salad underneath the rice. That was by far the most helpful tip so far for me, because by doing that I would eat less rice. When I put it on the bottom of my plate I would automatically add more than I actually want to eat
Great tips Kiki! Implementing this way of eating has helped me lose 15 stubborn peri-menopausal pounds that would not budge any other way. I still can't get over how I'm able to eat so much yet still lose weight lol. I purchased your book from Amazon and the weightloss portion alone was worth the money. I encourage everyone to buy it!
I am 51 now. I tried on “starch solution” I did not lose any weight but have gained 4 lbs. so depressed! Reading your comment, I feel I have a bit hope again. I have been eating planet-based salad bowls for continuous 5 days. But gained 4 lbs:((( Help!
Thank you, Kiki. I have been WFPB for 10 years, but I have found that we can always benefit from information shared by others. I appreciate your love and information.
You look beautiful and your hair, it's lovely! Yes, I'm definitely a volume eater. I stretch my portions with tons of greens and veggies. My bowl looks like a giant is about to eat. The majority of my calories come from high fiber foods. I personally like the konjac rice and noodles. I bulk up my rice serving with cauliflower rice.
I just started the Starch Solution this week and am having to do some adjustments. I work midnights in a hospital ER and my days are reversed from everyone else, but I'm working on it. I just had to say that I tried the cheese sauce from your new cookbook and it is absolutely delicious! I think it will really help add flavor and palatability to my meals. I can't wait to try the dressings in your book too. Thank you for sharing your recipes!
It was effortless and seamless to get my replacement cookbook. I love the new cookbook. Beautiful pictures! I love that the cookbook clarified the serving sizes. The other book, I was never certain if certain recipes really were for 1 person or 1 serving. This cookbook is very clear. I placed this cookbook on my cookbook stand, so that it is on full display all of the time.
Congratulations Kiki on being a best seller!!!! I LOVE your videos!! I look forward to them. Also, I absolutely love the hacks and advice that you give. I can tell that you really care about the health of others. I knew that I ate a lot. But, I never knew that I was a volume eater. I just knew that, I never seemed satisfied. I will definitely be trying these hacks.
This came under my recommended, and I've just subscribed. I understand the volume diet. I would eat the oatmeal with sliver almond, cinnamon and little maple. Still craving desperately for something. Not fully satiated nor satisfied. Never losted weights yet I managed to gain a lbs or so yearly. Love to lose 20 lbs.
We love you Miss KiKi, I pray for you and all your family 💞🙏 Blessings beyond any measure of your expectations that your heart desires. I have lost 40pds and I am feeling so good 💕🙏 Thank God and Thank you for all your hard work .
Hi Miss Kiki, I didn't receive a heart shape acknowledgement I hope you read my story . I have continued to do great and i continue to lose weight. Have a great day 💕
Hi Kiki. Your videos are just so refreshing and the meals all look delicious so I ordered your cookbook. I'm from the UK and you said you wasn't sure about the printed books in the UK and Australia so I wanted to confirm the book I received is just great and I can not wait to have a proper read and try out the delicious recipes myself. Carry on being you, you and your family are wonderful don't let anyone get you down, sending love and hugs from the UK 💚
Hey Kiki, thanks so much for another great video. Since transioning to a wfpb diet I have put on 15lbs which I am desperate to lose again. I am always hungry and eat more than I have ever in my life.
I bought the book as soon as it was back on Amazon. It is even better than the first I think.:) I made the Hungarian mushroom soup ages ago from your video. It is SO good, everyone should try it. Greetings from North Bay Ontario. :)
I make morning smoothies. I used a half bag of frozen kale and a half bag of frozen cauliflower, plus my usual fruit and oats. Wow, I was surprised at how much thicker it was than when I used only spinach. And there was a slight taste of veggie but the sweetness of the fruit masks the veggie taste. This smoothie, which has oodles of water in it, helps keep me full for many hours. It is an easy way to get nonstarchy vegetables into my morning meal.
Thank you Kiki for your videos! I love all your videos. Coming from being a meat eater and considering to eat more veggies, you make it easier to change this way of life. I tried to eat organic oats for 5 days and I did not feel good. I was so bloated. Do you have any other suggestions for a yummy vegan breakfast? I may have an issue digesting all grains. I used to have all the same issues you had...on my way 12 pounds down from 165 pounds (I am only 5 feet tall). Still way more to go! Thanks for sharing your stories!
Thank you 🙏🏼 so much Kiki from your content and materials I can tell you truly care about helping people and not about making money. I ALWAYS end up coming back to your channel and blog for tips, tricks and guidance. You are so inspiring for women and latinas! Thank you thank you!
I love your channel so much! You have helped me a lot with all your recipes and inspiration! I am wondering if I can help you with one little thing, too! I am an English teacher. Did you know that the phrase "a lot less calories" is incorrect? Why? Because, since "calories" is a countable noun, we must use the word "fewer" instead! "Less" is only used for non-countable, or singular nouns, like "water" or "milk", i.e. "I have been drinking less milk lately." But for countable nouns, we would say, "I have been eating fewer calories lately," or "you can eat a lot more food for a lot fewer calories." I love your channel, and I also love English 🤣
I’ve used a quarter cup of riced cauliflower to a half cup of oatmeal and you can’t taste it. It haven’t tried 50/50. However, I’m wondering if it would work with overnight oats.
It’s strange how different we all are. I do well on low carb. Nothing extreme (not keto) and I eat a lot of veggies, but I feel better. I still come here for inspo. I just replace half of the starch with a protein. I’m at an age where I’m nearing perimenopause, and I need to prioritize extra protein.
can u make a video with tips for stress eaters?? i’m not a volume eater but one of the reasons why i can’t sustain this lifestyle is because i can overcome the cravings~~~ 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
Great tips …it’s good to be reminded again of how easy it really should be to get healthy. I like the tip of having a salad or veggie soup before a meal. I’m definitely going to start using that one. You’re amazing!
KiKi-what did you do for a job BC?(before children)? What was the root cause of your weight gain? You said you were athletic your whole life-what changed in your life?
I have tried the riced cauliflower in my oats but I can still taste the cauliflower and it just doesn’t have the same mouth-feeling as the oats so they still stand out texture-wise as well. But coach’s oats in bulk from Costco are low calorie and super filling so I go with those.
Thank you so much these were such great tips!! I’m going to start incorporating them today! I’m going over to your IG to find how you do garlic bread!! Haven’t had this stuff in over 4 months!
I just purchased your book last night!! I’ve tried the starch diet and did lose weight very fast! But I was running out of ideas for recipes, I can’t wait to receive your book I love your recipes!🥰
What type of pan do you use? I don’t use cooking oil for health (not weight) reasons, but I don’t want to use a pan made of materials that are going to do to me what I’m avoiding the oil for lmao. It seems like all of the luxury brands don’t include the actual materials used and just say “PFOA” free. I understand they want their materials proprietary, but it really sucks to know who to trust.
With your new book are you going to be going on the Chef AJ show you really should you’d sell a lot of books really fast because I know I’m gonna be buying your book
I am genuinely afraid to go no added fat. Fat (and.sugar) have been my biggest emotional crutches for so long. Without the buffer of the fats, I would feel like I was wearing my nerves on the outside of my skin. If anyone can relate…😔
I’m doing what I can. If that’s adding 5g butter to my veg at a meal 3 times a day, the calories are 150g. It makes it bearable, even though it is not on plan. I figured better adding something to make it workable. Trying to move to vegan spread. I also use Sugarly granulated sweetener and it is indistinguishable from sugar!!
Is your recipe for Spaghetti Squash and Garlic Bread in your Plantifully Lean cookbook? I'm not finding it on your site. Also - do you happen to have an printable index for Plantifully Lean? That would be great - thank you! Debbie in WA Ü
Thanks a lot, Kiki, for the useful information you provided. I was wondering if you could give us some more information about sweet breakfast, because I's hard if not impossible for me to have the savoury type of it. I often have two slices of toast bread spread with two tsp of pistachio butter. And a kiwi, plus coffee. What do you think of this? Thanks Kiki
yes take a look at my meals for maximum weight loss videos because I show tons of breakfast ideas. Theres lots of sweet ones in my weight loss guide and cook book as well. What you are having if totally fine and sounds yummy:)
my weight loss has stalled, did a Mary's mini and did not lose weight. what am i doing wrong? my triglycerides are high eating this way and sodium too😢😢
Hi Kiki, I have to try the cauliflower rice - is the rice you use frozen raw or cooked? I was also wondering if you could do a video sometime on the hormonal issues you had specifically and how the wfpb lifestyle treated it - I suffer from several and have been wfpb for some time now, no changes.
I found for me taking calcium d glucarate helped lower my estrogen dominance. That combined with the Starch Solution helped me lose 30lbs :) I no longer get hormonal migraines either.
Looking at reviews on Amazon of your book. For $28 that's a lot with the printing issues. Is there a plan in place to fix the printing issues? I want to buy the book but not at $28 for a second rate print problem.
i just spread crushed garlic on it and a little salt and some herbs, you can also very lightly spray it with avocado oil if you need a little on there:)
Am I the only person that hates the taste of nutritional yeast? I wished I liked it, my life would be easier. Is there a replacement I can use? By the way, I have tried different brands. Just not a fan :(

How do I find flavored vinegars? I am very keen to drop the oil dressings and her food looks delightful!

What type of pan do you use? I don’t use cooking oil for health (not weight) reasons, but I don’t want to use a pan made of materials that are going to do to me what I’m avoiding the oil for lmao. It seems like all of the luxury brands don’t include the actual materials used and just say “PFOA” free. I understand they want their materials proprietary, but it really sucks to know who to trust.
Such a good soul! :) Love your channel, very encouraging! :) THANK YOU! Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
With your new book are you going to be going on the Chef AJ show you really should you’d sell a lot of books really fast because I know I’m gonna be buying your book
Is there a recipe for that garlic bread you mentioned? BTW your hair is looking GORGEOUS!
You truly are such a doll and beautiful inside and out. Congratulations
Thank you so much!
My cookbook arrived this weekend! It's so great. Thank you!!!
Hi Kiki, can you do a video on the pasta and zoodles? I want to see how you make it step by step ... 👍
I am genuinely afraid to go no added fat. Fat (and.sugar) have been my biggest emotional crutches for so long. Without the buffer of the fats, I would feel like I was wearing my nerves on the outside of my skin. If anyone can relate…😔
I’m doing what I can. If that’s adding 5g butter to my veg at a meal 3 times a day, the calories are 150g. It makes it bearable, even though it is not on plan. I figured better adding something to make it workable. Trying to move to vegan spread.
I also use Sugarly granulated sweetener and it is indistinguishable from sugar!!
I ordered one for myself and loved it so much then I ordered one for my best friend and one for my brother in law!
Awww thank you soooo much!!
Thank you!! These are excellent tips for a volume eater! ❤️from 🇨🇦
AWESOME video, Kiki...thanks babe! :) !!!!
Is your recipe for Spaghetti Squash and Garlic Bread in your Plantifully Lean cookbook? I'm not finding it on your site.
Also - do you happen to have an printable index for Plantifully Lean? That would be great - thank you!

Love your tips! Thank You Kiki
OMG - luv luv your cookbook!
I got the new cookbook! And I had the first edition too!!
Thanks a lot, Kiki, for the useful information you provided. I was wondering if you could give us some more information about sweet breakfast, because I's hard if not impossible for me to have the savoury type of it. I often have two slices of toast bread spread with two tsp of pistachio butter. And a kiwi, plus coffee. What do you think of this? Thanks Kiki
yes take a look at my meals for maximum weight loss videos because I show tons of breakfast ideas. Theres lots of sweet ones in my weight loss guide and cook book as well. What you are having if totally fine and sounds yummy:)
Thanks a lot, Kiki
So happy when you post a new video!!love all u do kiki! I have loved u from your 1st video 💗
thank you!!!
Love these tips! Thank you 😊
Brilliant tips! Thanks so much! I don't cook my oatmeal, so could I add the grated cauliflower raw or would it taste weird? xxx
ooh i dont know, I would think it would taste strange but im not sure
@@PlantifulKiki Ok thanks x
Are there any substitutions for the cauliflower ? I’m deathly allergic 😞
Your zucchini oats are really good as well
I don't do the cauliflower and oatmeal thing maybe I should but I run 5km a Day and feel like I need the carbs
Thanks Kiki for these great suggestions - 👍
my weight loss has stalled, did a Mary's mini and did not lose weight. what am i doing wrong? my triglycerides are high eating this way and sodium too😢😢
Hi Kiki, I have to try the cauliflower rice - is the rice you use frozen raw or cooked? I was also wondering if you could do a video sometime on the hormonal issues you had specifically and how the wfpb lifestyle treated it - I suffer from several and have been wfpb for some time now, no changes.
I found for me taking calcium d glucarate helped lower my estrogen dominance. That combined with the Starch Solution helped me lose 30lbs :) I no longer get hormonal migraines either.
I use frozen and cook it a together. I will work on a video about the hormonal issues I used to have:)
Been trying this off and on for over a year… I wonder why I can’t stick to it!!! Ugh! Help!
How do we sign up for the newsletter?
What is the name of the music? Love it! 😊💖
Looking at reviews on Amazon of your book. For $28 that's a lot with the printing issues. Is there a plan in place to fix the printing issues? I want to buy the book but not at $28 for a second rate print problem.
How do you eat so much? I try to eat healthier but I can't seem to eat the amount I need to.
Your hair! 😍
Great tips, i will use them to help me reduce my calories....
I add grated zucchini to oats with orange zest and works. You can not taste it.
Me: just listening.... Me: after you said garlic bread as the starchy side TOOK NOTICE :D This one was GOOD
Heart of palm pasta is delicious
Add steamed cauliflower to your mashed potatoes and a little onion! Yum
oooh yum I will try it!!
Congratulations 🍾
What kind of breads do youeat
How did you make garlic bread without oil/vegan butter?
i just spread crushed garlic on it and a little salt and some herbs, you can also very lightly spray it with avocado oil if you need a little on there:)
Am I the only person that hates the taste of nutritional yeast? I wished I liked it, my life would be easier. Is there a replacement I can use? By the way, I have tried different brands. Just not a fan :(
So volume eaters should eat plenty of satisfying things like zucchini and spaghetti squash? :|
yes if weight loss is what you are looking for, finding lower calorie dense foods to add more volume to your meal helps
