I'm a big meat eater, but your videos make such much sense that I keep coming back to them. I'm about to start your plant based program to see how it goes. Wish me luck and thanks for such life changing ideas 🙏💪🇵🇷
I heard vegans must take EFA and DHA supplements from other plant~based vegan doctors I follow. Dr.Joel Fuhrman has his own line of supplements that include these.
I’m still transitioning off of animal products. I’m eating my non~starchy vegetables first,and am eating meat only on the weekends. I love how I feel eating vegan, and choosing more beans and legumes as protein. It’s a process for me.
Kiki - I've now appointed you the official female spokesperson for vegans. I've been watching lots of You Tube videos but this is the first that really addresses the proportions you have to stick to (even at breakfast). Also - you eat dessert - which I so appreciate - since I feel I need it. Can you also address snacks in your future videos?? Thanks for the video!
Today is 6/5/20. New subscriber. I love ❤️ ur channel. I love ur energy 😊. I’m 41 y/o 6’1 235 pounds. My goal weight is 180 to 190 pounds. Today is day 10 on the starch solution. Wish me luck 😊 and thanks for making these informative videos 😊
Thank God for your channel! I follow a plant-based diet and fell off the wagon and was eating a lot of processed vegan food and I need to get back on the plan, I think this whole COVID-19 being at home and emotional eating. I’m back on track now thank you keep up the good work
My digestion is wonderful ever since. I make bean or beat burgers and eat them between butter letuce leaves and with tomatoes. No buns to save MY BUNS 😂😂😂
Thank you for continuing with these types of videos. I've watched them all and still take away new information. Stopped coffee for Lent and didn't return to it. Stopped alcohol during the lockdown and wont be returning to it. 😊
I loooooooove your "lazy" approach to meal prep and cooking in general. You don't have to be fancy for food to taste good and be good for you! Thank you for your videos!
Absolutely amazing video! I love how your message is 'educate yourself'. Lots of people try to preach and tell you what you should believe, which leads to a population of people who fall for everything. However, you show what worked for you, and encourage us to educate ourselves and find out what works for us. I believe this is a key responsibility for all content creators online. Thank you for being you. Your beauty shines from inside out and you're so nice to listen to and to watch. Keep posting xx
@@flowerflor8787 lost around 20 total over 2-3month then got back to eating bad (pretty much all fast food) when my husband ended up in the hospital this past summer. Did not keep it off. Just started back last week and made it through the sugar detox finally so next week should be easier.
Love how authentic and relatable you are here. Niw its all about the 'ooh look at me so beautifull' Here you where one of us and you where 'real'. ❤Thank you for these video's
Your channel is amazing! I’ve been so inspired by the things you share, that I started eating/following the starch solution. I’ve already lost 10lbs! 🎊🎉 I was terrified at first. The thought of eating potatoes and rice was almost too much, but you are very knowledgeable and encouraging, so I decided to just dive right in. Thanks for all you do! Big hugs!! 💜
I just found your channel yesterday and I can’t stop watching your videos!! I love your “style”! (images, ingredients, Whole Foods, attitude). So awesome! 👏
KiKi, you are so darned Awesome! Thankyou so much for validating that this way of eating is healthy, and can be, for the rest of your life, Lifestyle. It's difficult at times for me to eat out, but you know what, I'm worth all of this effort I'm putting into it for myself! 💪🏼💯 I started last August, and I am proud to say, that I've lost about 65lbs., and still going. I was in the lower 200's, range. Even after I've lost the weight that I feel most comfortable at, I plan to always eat this way, but just alter the,starch to Veggie, ratio. This with, daily exercise, has been key! Again, Thnku., so much, for just being you! 💪🏼🙏🏽❤️
OMG i love tour vidéos, i need to buy your book, cause you are an inspiration. I’m 45 years old and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in February, I was tired to take the medication cause the my T3 and at4 went back to normal since 2 months , but the endocrinologist wanted me to continue to take the medication because the Tsi wasn’t still good, I was scare to go thru hypo.. I’m moving to Florida in a few days and I will research an Holistic doctor. 🙏🏻
Good timing of this video. My weight has slowed right down and i was just thinking of what i could do to help continue to lose weight. I am not quite in my healthy weight range yet. I also turn 49 this year so i am guessing that my age is playing a part in my slow weight loss. I started 6 months ago and i have lost 16 kg. I will be sticking to eating this way for the rest of my life. I feel so much healthier. Once again you have given a great and informative video.
Deborah Martin have you tried adding Strength training to your routine maybe 2-3 times a week. Muscle mass decreases with age, but the more muscle mass you have, you burn more calories even while sleeping. 1 lb of muscle burns 14 calories while 1lb of fat burns 3! So just getting a little extra muscle can boost your metabolism and reignite your weight lose. Doesn’t need to be anything crazy. I’ve been using the peloton app free for 3 months and it has Strength class by time and level. Try it and it can prob help you lose and tone!
I love your channel. I love how simple and quick your recipes are. Thank you for creating a channel and sharing your experiences and above all making it simple.
I’m just getting back to this way of eating. I remember having headaches, being really hungry and kind of tired for the first 4-5 days. Then everything settled and my energy became more consistent, I was sleeping well and woke up easily. It was great! I fell off the wagon when I went on a rather long vacation and kept eating processed foods after the vacation 😬 no my hormones are all over the place so I know now I can’t deviate from this way of living. Thanks for helping to bring me back to this Kiki! ❤️ love your recipes and the motivation 😊
I have watched this three times. I sooo needed these helpful tips to keep me focused and motivated. Thank you for all your videos they are so awesome! ❤️
So helpful! The banana ice cream is life changing and you can mix anything with it: mango, strawberry 🍓, pineapple...if you make a little PB2 it’s like having a sundae...😋
Good Morning, Thank you again for your videos. I've been following you for quite a while and I keep coming back to watch new videos and referring to old ones as well. Thank you again! :)
I appreciate that you don't suggest that people eat a higher volume of vegetables compared to starches when you have more fat to lose. When people have a lot of weight to lose, they could still lose weight eating entirely starches.
Hello Kiki, wishing you love and light. Thank you for these videos. I have been eating more plant based foods and wanted to get some new recipes. Oh, and I have also subscribed. Thanks again.
I have serious emotional eating/food addiction,but am releasing weight just by eating at least 1/2 plate of vegetables before I eat anything else! My appetite is changing to where my body craves raw or steamed vegetables first thing now! And it’s because of your unconditional acceptance and self~love energy that I can go at the pace my body is comfortable with. Thank you,Kiki!
I'm so excited to come across your channel! I have seen only 2 of your videos and I am SUPER PUMPED about your explanation! I am making a grocery list and I'm starting TODAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
I’ve been watching you for a while now and really enjoy your videos. You’re so down to earth and realistic, it’s refreshing! Thanks for sharing your before and current pictures in your videos, it’s very inspirational!
Okay my mom just introduced me to your channel about a week ago and you've quickly made your way up my list of favorite youtubers! I bought the starch solution and have been following it for the last week. Hopefully everything works out!
Thanks Kiki I appreciate you!! I am back on the wagon & will do the 50/50 plate and reduce the processed carbs. Thanks for such a great motivating channel🌻🤗
Beautiful videos!!! I'm already a vegan but 63 yrs old, post-menopausal and need to lose 70+ pounds. Just started the Starch Solution - I'll let you know how it goes!! So far loving your videos!!!
Hi! KIKI I just discover your channel about month ago. I want to say that I been doing some of your recipes and my family love it. I did keto for a while but stop working and I decide to give it a try to your life style. I’m tired to weight my self I’m 38 years old and I just want to have energy and feel healthy. Thank you for sharing your recipes I’m looking forward for more. ❤️🥗😊
Just love your channel and finished my first week and lost 4 pounds..loving your simple recipes and put the cheese sauce on my veggies and potatoes. Just added a red pepper and some paprika and chipotle chili spice, so good both ways. Got the steamer the vegan ham bouillon and the curry powder. Love them all thanks!💕💕
Thank you Kikki! 🙏 All your videos are very helpful. It's my 3rd day doing an all plant based diet and I'm feeling good. After doing ALL the diets (Keto, low carb, fasting etc.) Thankfully, I finally understand this is the way 🤦🏻♀️. I'm super excited for the changes to my health. Thank you for being a great inspiration:) I need to get rid of 80lbs+. 😬😬
You had me at CILANTRO !!!!! I just love it, but did you KNOW THE STEMS ARE 10 TIMES TASTIER AND CRUNCHY !!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU CHANNEL..... I am purchasing your newest book ! Many blessing to you and your family!!!!!! YOU ARE SUCH A PRECIOUS GIFT TO ME AND SO MANY OTHERS...... Warmest of hugs !
For gaining weight after a week or two question-- a lot of people do this diet wrong or "kinda cheat" whether that be chips and guac or oily salad dressings, etc. and it'll be harder to see results doing that. however, if you've been doing everything right and serving yourself right, it's likely extra glycogen and the corresponding water weight (that can be 5-10+ lbs. of weight). Also, you do have to eat larger quantities of food on this lifestyle so could be just the increased weight of food. Don't assume it's fat if you truly are doing things right and not cheating
Avocado is not a fat to concern yourself with. Its saturated n trans fat. I never understood why god given nutrients are in conjunction with satan given poisons
You are so pretty! I love your videos. You are an awesome mom and I love that you don’t try to hide imperfections. You show real life-busy mom cooking. It’s awesome!
I love your videos! Tiny tip: Search for a real Italian strained tomato (Passata di pomodoro) , it will make a perfect soup and a much healthier, since is pure tomato.
Thanks for always keeping it real in your videos, Kiki! The journey is never a perfect one, and you really tell it like it is. Most channels make it out like it's paradise from day one, so it's nice to hear about the ups and downs. The food looks super delicious as well!!
Hi Kiki For curries Try using 1 teaspoon kitchen king masala by MDH, Badshah, Everest or Rani (depending on what brand you get in USA) instead of curry powder it gives amazing flavour just like restaurant flavour along with 1 teaspoon coriander powder 1 teaspoon cumin powder and half teaspoon tumeric powder 1 teaspoon garam masala (optional as it can be strong)
Thank you sooooo much for all of the ideas for plant based cooking. I had gotten into a rut of creating the same meals over and over. And my husband thanks you for the chocolate nice cream recipe! We love you! ❤️❤️❤️
Kiki first of all I want to tell you that I'm so PROUD OF YOU 🎉. I too want to help people with their weight and health. Your Info is going to help me do just that. God bless you and your beautiful family. Your boy is such a sweet young man and your beautiful girl, Not ashame to support their mommy ❤ Thku for taking the time to share everything you share with us. Congratulations on your book sale.
Love this video ❤️ I’m reading The starch solution at the moment and definitely want to incorporate more meals like this and move away from processed vegan food!
Thank you for taking the time to talk about common reasons why you may not be losing weight. I thought I was following the plan closely, but realized I am eating way more starches by going back for seconds and not continuing with the 50/50 plate. Sounds like common sense, but I needed to hear it again! Thank you...and btw....I love your shirt!
I like you very much : you are full of good advices and wisdom. You keep things simple and you are not judgemental at all. Continue your good work. Thank you for being you.
I made this soup tonight. My meat eating husband even LOVED it! And the best news is I have so much leftover I can eat it all week. Thank Kiki for such an easy yummy recipe! Another WINNER!🌽🥕🍅🥔
Thank you! Thank you for this video! I have spent the last 20-odd years of my life eating low-carb. Went WFPBno in October because I was frustrated with Low-carb ... I also got tired of feeling like I was doing something bad by wanting a potato. Thank you so much for sharing!
Basically eat more non starchy veggies and big salads then some whole complex carbs in the form of potatoes. Then if your hungry at more veggies/ legumes. Stock up the fridge/ freezer with veggies and salad stuffs. Thank you Kiki 🤩🥳. I was definitely starting to just reach for the carbs only and forgetting about the veggies. I find it hard to eat microwaved/ steamed veggies for breakfast. BUT veggie soup is easy.
My fave meal is water sautee a whole onion. Add 1/2 of a shredded small cabbage. Then add some hash browns. Dress with just salt n pepper. Be mindful of how much hash browns you add but it's delish!
It would be ever so helpful if we could get your husbands perspective on going plantbased to show other men it's really not that difficult! My husband is interested and has various health issues that the PB diet would help immensely but he over thinks the change!
Gday from Aussie love your videos and meals have been plant based for nearly 3 weeks now lost 20 lbs real easy In a baking dish put chopped veggies whatever you’ve got I had 8 and whole garlic cloves and some grape seed oil mixed with Italian herbs dumped over and roast in oven 200 1 hour until tender yummy and delicious
I weaned myself off coffee by slowly reducing the number of servings, then gradually switching to a good quality decaf coffee. Since eliminating coffee, I sleep soooo much better. I realized that even one cup of caffeinated coffee in the morning was keeping me awake till late at night, and making my sleep less restful. Improper sleep can cause cortisol spikes, which turn on hunger hormones. So caffeine can really sabotage weightloss efforts.
So what did you do to keep you awake during the day? I am a full-time working single mom so I need lots of energy. I tried to limit my coffee to once a day but then I almost fall asleep at work.
Following. Same as Jenna I have several cups a day and I don’t know how I’ll function without it although I don’t want to be dependent on caffeine either 😕
@@jennakirk8439 You probably are not getting enough sleep. I know it can be a hard habit to change, but maybe try going to bed even 15 minutes earlier, and gradually increase that. Also, green and black tea has much less caffeine, so maybe switch to tea for a while to scale back the caffeine?
@@Brianna-yy3yz Believe me, I was a coffee lover and thought I could never feel awake in the morning without coffee. But this is a habit that you can break. One question for you, do you drink it with cream and sugar? Or black? I always drank it with cream, then tried drinking it black because there is no non-dairy creamer that tastes as good as the half&half (in my opinion). After switching to black coffee, I realized I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. I think I was just as addicted to the cream as the caffeine! Because my sleep is so much better now without caffeine in my system, I feel much more rested in the morning. The transition is not easy, though, but it only takes a couple of weeks. But I am no longer a slave to coffee. The other thing about coffee and tea, is that the polyphenols in them block iron absorption. Low iron can also make you feel tired. So drinking coffee is a bit of a vicious cycle. It masks sleep deprivation, blocks iron absorption, which can make you feel even more tired, which leads to drinking more coffee! Break the cycle, you can do it!
lydiaD777 thank you! I already have always had low iron levels so maybe that’s not a coincidence but I really want to kick the habit & yes I drink mine with creamer as well. I’m the same as you must have been because if I don’t have my creamer I don’t want it lol but I usually just use sweetened creamer I don’t add extra sugars
Hey there. Can't wait to try these recipes. Question, can you post a link to those wooden spoons you were eating with? I keep seeing them but can't find them. Thank you!
You're meals look delicious. I always thoroughly wash greens/lettuce even if pre-washed, because there have been rare cases of pre-washing in water that wasn't clean (food poisoning outbreak).
I always look forward to your videos! It always a good reminder of my main goal to eat healthy nourishing whole foods! I can't wait to make those curries!! ❤
Wow! I can’t wait to try alllll these recipes! Your channel is currently my favorite! Where did you buy that beautiful bowl??? I’ve been trying to find some but most I’ve come across have seemed too thin!
This video is full of good information!!! I love your channel 💗💗💗you genuinely seem to want to help others . Keep doing what your doing you are AMAZING
My favorite meal is 1 sweet potato and one regular potato sliced into fries and cooked in my air fryer. I tend to eat the same veggies broccoli, peas, corn ... cooked in my air fryer, I have a hard time with salads, so I keep trying with that. I also love rice and beans to mix it up. I am so boring!😊
I’ve just read the starch solution and find that the recipes in the back are very heavy on the tofu, which I don’t eat much of. Your videos are an inspiration, and make me want to get started, but I haven’t gotten there yet. You mentioned about being hungry the first week or so and I’m so used to just ignoring that that it’s hard to allow myself to eat! But you explained it really well. Thank you.
I'm so glad that I found you, Kiki! You are such a refreshing beacon of light and I love how simple yet informative your videos are! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and journey with all of us! I look forward to watching more of your videos! PS I love your tie dye sweatshirt!! 💖💖
What was the twisting thing you used in your blender when you were making the ice cream? I am taking about investing in a blender and is between vitamix and blendtec
Great video! I love seeing your food. My question is about how you and your husband transitioned to following the Starch Solution. Did you transition gradually or all at once? If you did it all at once, what did you do with all the food in your house that wasn't compliant? And was it difficult to know what and how to eat once those foods were no longer available? Or did you just use up what you had and replace them with foods that were compliant?
I gained 25lbs eating 5 times more cashews and peanut butter for a few years. I started plant based and cut the nuts and lost almost 30 so far!
I'm a big meat eater, but your videos make such much sense that I keep coming back to them. I'm about to start your plant based program to see how it goes. Wish me luck and thanks for such life changing ideas 🙏💪🇵🇷
How did it go? I hope it went great.
I hope it went great too💚
I did it and never looked back! I like getting full 😆
I heard vegans must take EFA and DHA supplements from other plant~based vegan doctors I follow. Dr.Joel Fuhrman has his own line of supplements that include these.
I’m still transitioning off of animal products. I’m eating my non~starchy vegetables first,and am eating meat only on the weekends.

Following the Starch Solution, I just completed my first week, and lost 4.8lbs! Thanks so much for your videos-you are an inspiration 💗
Great job!
@@PlantifulKiki do you have any kind of program or a 1 time consultation? I could really use some insight
That’s so great! I just started today and can’t lie I’m so worried about gaining weight due to carbphobia. Inspired to see it is working for you!
Wow! CONGRATS!
Congrats! Can you give us an example of what you eat in a day?
I’m so grateful for you, Kiki! You’ve become my favorite vegan on RUclips, and I appreciate your easy and inexpensive approach to WFPB eating.
Thank you so much!! im so glad its helpful! thats the only reason I started this channel....to break this lifestyle down and show how easy it can be
Plantiful Kiki yea other channels make it sooo complicated with crazy recipes and stuff, fun to watch but hard to actually implement
Kiki - I've now appointed you the official female spokesperson for vegans.

Warrior Goddess Crystal Geometry pasta helps me stay on plan and still meet my emotional eating needs. Best of luck ❤️
Warrior Goddess Crystal Geometry same here. I have been stress eating during Covid. And too much alcohol. Need to clean up my intake.

Just got the book and love it. She references some of my favorite folks (McDougal, Mastering Diabetes fellow, Dan Buettner, etc)
I am so glad to have found this channel! 😁 Thanks for all you do.
For gaining weight after a week or two question-- a lot of people do this diet wrong or "kinda cheat" whether that be chips and guac or oily salad dressings, etc. and it'll be harder to see results doing that. however, if you've been doing everything right and serving yourself right, it's likely extra glycogen and the corresponding water weight (that can be 5-10+ lbs. of weight). Also, you do have to eat larger quantities of food on this lifestyle so could be just the increased weight of food. Don't assume it's fat if you truly are doing things right and not cheating
very well said:)
Avocado is not a fat to concern yourself with. Its saturated n trans fat. I never understood why god given nutrients are in conjunction with satan given poisons
If I ate that much carbs, I would be big as a house. I'm doing low carb. That works for me. Potatoes sweet or white raises my insulin levels.
@@allnaturalindigo4893 Amen!
@@face1647 Probably not if you don't follow the carbs up with loads of fat, You'd be thin as a rail
Your channel is so lovely. Well done!
Great video. I recently found your channel and you explain it so well.
i love your hoodie and ur bandana, the colours really suit you💃🏼💕....love this vid btw... ive lost weight following your guidence!!
Your so good at this.....a natural!! You help me a lot!!
I’m so glad you said that you were ravenous. I’ve been so hangry lately and I am glad I watched this again !!!! Thank you 😊
You are so pretty!
I love your videos. You are an awesome mom and I love that you don’t try to hide imperfections. You show real life-busy mom cooking. It’s awesome!
I love your videos!
Tiny tip: Search for a real Italian strained tomato (Passata di pomodoro) , it will make a perfect soup and a much healthier, since is pure tomato.
I am so glad I found your channel. I have been watching one every night after work.
I love that steam basket and what a simple breakfast I love it!
Thank you for you simple and quick idea. Has been a life saver and helped to keep on track as I have a hectic busy life
Just a question- does the 50/50 plate apply for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
Thanks for always keeping it real in your videos, Kiki! The journey is never a perfect one, and you really tell it like it is. Most channels make it out like it's paradise from day one, so it's nice to hear about the ups and downs. The food looks super delicious as well!!
You are so welcome!
Hi Kiki
For curries
Try using 1 teaspoon kitchen king masala by MDH, Badshah, Everest or Rani (depending on what brand you get in USA) instead of curry powder it gives amazing flavour just like restaurant flavour along with
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder and
half teaspoon tumeric powder
1 teaspoon garam masala (optional as it can be strong)
Thank you sooooo much for all of the ideas for plant based cooking. I had gotten into a rut of creating the same meals over and over. And my husband thanks you for the chocolate nice cream recipe! We love you! ❤️❤️❤️
Love the way you explain (a lot clear than high carb Hannah or Dr Macdougall ♥️♥️♥️♥️)
Just found your channel today, ordered the Starch Solution after the first video... I'm so excited to start!
Kiki first of all I want to tell you that I'm so PROUD OF YOU 🎉. I too want to help people with their weight and health. Your Info is going to help me do just that. God bless you and your beautiful family. Your boy is such a sweet young man and your beautiful girl, Not ashame to support their mommy ❤ Thku for taking the time to share everything you share with us. Congratulations on your book sale.
Love this video ❤️ I’m reading The starch solution at the moment and definitely want to incorporate more meals like this and move away from processed vegan food!
Thank you for taking the time to talk about common reasons why you may not be losing weight. I thought I was following the plan closely, but realized I am eating way more starches by going back for seconds and not continuing with the 50/50 plate. Sounds like common sense, but I needed to hear it again! Thank you...and btw....I love your shirt!
yay im glad it helped!! sometimes all we need is a revision:)
I like you very much : you are full of good advices and wisdom. You keep things simple and you are not judgemental at all. Continue your good work. Thank you for being you.
I made this soup tonight. My meat eating husband even LOVED it! And the best news is I have so much leftover I can eat it all week. Thank Kiki for such an easy yummy recipe! Another WINNER!🌽🥕🍅🥔
Thank you! Thank you for this video!
I have spent the last 20-odd years of my life eating low-carb. Went WFPBno in October because I was frustrated with Low-carb ... I also got tired of feeling like I was doing something bad by wanting a potato. Thank you so much for sharing!
Basically eat more non starchy veggies and big salads then some whole complex carbs in the form of potatoes. Then if your hungry at more veggies/ legumes. Stock up the fridge/ freezer with veggies and salad stuffs. Thank you Kiki 🤩🥳. I was definitely starting to just reach for the carbs only and forgetting about the veggies. I find it hard to eat microwaved/ steamed veggies for breakfast. BUT veggie soup is easy.
love all of your easy recipes. They are so easy on weeknights and so delicious! Thank you !!!
Just starting plant based. You have provided me with the best info to stay on track 👍🏻
My fave meal is water sautee a whole onion. Add 1/2 of a shredded small cabbage. Then add some hash browns. Dress with just salt n pepper. Be mindful of how much hash browns you add but it's delish!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and recipes!!! You give me hope!
It would be ever so helpful if we could get your husbands perspective on going plantbased to show other men it's really not that difficult! My husband is interested and has various health issues that the PB diet would help immensely but he over thinks the change!
Try to add in one meal each day, then add in two....
Thank you, KiKi for another great video. I really appreciate your flavorful but relatively simple recipes.
Gday from Aussie love your videos and meals have been plant based for nearly 3 weeks now lost 20 lbs real easy In a baking dish put chopped veggies whatever you’ve got I had 8 and whole garlic cloves and some grape seed oil mixed with Italian herbs dumped over and roast in oven 200 1 hour until tender yummy and delicious
I weaned myself off coffee by slowly reducing the number of servings, then gradually switching to a good quality decaf coffee. Since eliminating coffee, I sleep soooo much better. I realized that even one cup of caffeinated coffee in the morning was keeping me awake till late at night, and making my sleep less restful. Improper sleep can cause cortisol spikes, which turn on hunger hormones. So caffeine can really sabotage weightloss efforts.
So what did you do to keep you awake during the day? I am a full-time working single mom so I need lots of energy. I tried to limit my coffee to once a day but then I almost fall asleep at work.
Following. Same as Jenna I have several cups a day and I don’t know how I’ll function without it although I don’t want to be dependent on caffeine either 😕
@@jennakirk8439 You probably are not getting enough sleep. I know it can be a hard habit to change, but maybe try going to bed even 15 minutes earlier, and gradually increase that. Also, green and black tea has much less caffeine, so maybe switch to tea for a while to scale back the caffeine?
@@Brianna-yy3yz Believe me, I was a coffee lover and thought I could never feel awake in the morning without coffee. But this is a habit that you can break. One question for you, do you drink it with cream and sugar? Or black? I always drank it with cream, then tried drinking it black because there is no non-dairy creamer that tastes as good as the half&half (in my opinion). After switching to black coffee, I realized I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. I think I was just as addicted to the cream as the caffeine! Because my sleep is so much better now without caffeine in my system, I feel much more rested in the morning. The transition is not easy, though, but it only takes a couple of weeks. But I am no longer a slave to coffee. The other thing about coffee and tea, is that the polyphenols in them block iron absorption. Low iron can also make you feel tired. So drinking coffee is a bit of a vicious cycle. It masks sleep deprivation, blocks iron absorption, which can make you feel even more tired, which leads to drinking more coffee! Break the cycle, you can do it!
lydiaD777 thank you! I already have always had low iron levels so maybe that’s not a coincidence but I really want to kick the habit & yes I drink mine with creamer as well. I’m the same as you must have been because if I don’t have my creamer I don’t want it lol but I usually just use sweetened creamer I don’t add extra sugars
Hey there. Can't wait to try these recipes. Question, can you post a link to those wooden spoons you were eating with? I keep seeing them but can't find them. Thank you!
I love this video it was so helpful! So glad I found you on RUclips! You're going to have so many subscribers one day i just know it :)
You're meals look delicious.
I always thoroughly wash greens/lettuce even if pre-washed, because there have been rare cases of pre-washing in water that wasn't clean (food poisoning outbreak).
I always look forward to your videos! It always a good reminder of my main goal to eat healthy nourishing whole foods! I can't wait to make those curries!! ❤
Yay! enjoy!!
You are a beautiful person helping and guiding us to this colourful path. Mercî beaucoup from France. Aunty Cécile
Wow! I can’t wait to try alllll these recipes! Your channel is currently my favorite! Where did you buy that beautiful bowl??? I’ve been trying to find some but most I’ve come across have seemed too thin!
thank you! so the small wood bowl is something I picked up while traveling abroad but you can check stores like world market
This video is full of good information!!! I love your channel 💗💗💗you genuinely seem to want to help others . Keep doing what your doing you are AMAZING
My favorite meal is 1 sweet potato and one regular potato sliced into fries and cooked in my air fryer. I tend to eat the same veggies broccoli, peas, corn ... cooked in my air fryer, I have a hard time with salads, so I keep trying with that. I also love rice and beans to mix it up. I am so boring!😊
are you trying to lose weight? If so how is it working with the food you eat?
Te sigo hace como 2 semanas, empecé a cambiar mi alimentación por la q tu haces y he perdido 3kg en 1 semana ☺️✌️👍I'm happy
Me alegro! Me podes explicar algunas de tus comidas?
Utilizo garbanzos... no como arroz blanco...utilizo más verduras ...no como pan blanco...y ahora tomo batidos verdes ...
Add a cup of whole wheat pasta to the bean soup and you have a really nice pasta fagioli.
I’ve just read the starch solution and find that the recipes in the back are very heavy on the tofu, which I don’t eat much of. Your videos are an inspiration, and make me want to get started, but I haven’t gotten there yet. You mentioned about being hungry the first week or so and I’m so used to just ignoring that that it’s hard to allow myself to eat! But you explained it really well. Thank you.
I'm so glad that I found you, Kiki! You are such a refreshing beacon of light and I love how simple yet informative your videos are! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and journey with all of us! I look forward to watching more of your videos! PS I love your tie dye sweatshirt!! 💖💖
What was the twisting thing you used in your blender when you were making the ice cream? I am taking about investing in a blender and is between vitamix and blendtec
I’m about to check out these audio books just downloaded lol, you are the plug queen 💕💚
Absolutely amazing video! I love how simple and quick your recipes are!
Glad you like them!
Thanks for answering those questions. Love your videos 💕
Great video! I love seeing your food. My question is about how you and your husband transitioned to following the Starch Solution. Did you transition gradually or all at once? If you did it all at once, what did you do with all the food in your house that wasn't compliant? And was it difficult to know what and how to eat once those foods were no longer available? Or did you just use up what you had and replace them with foods that were compliant?
Is that the portion size you eat normally?? My word, I may switch to this lol. Diets usually have the smallest portion.
