I have followed this plan for 2 weeks . I not only feel better but have lost 4 pounds. Being 65 years old losing weight has become more difficult than when I was younger. This way of eating is so much better for your heart and brain as well. Thank you for making these videos for those of us who are new to a plant based way of eating. 👍
Love your tip on sauteing vegetables in water. I just season them and they're great! Don't miss the oil at all. We have one slice of toast and split an avocado. But, we practice intermittent fasting. We are both almost 60, it just works better at our age. Haven't really lost a lot of weight (125-130 max), but my stomach is not as bloated, and my digestion is much better. I'm currently cast in a play along side younger women. I have form-fitting costumes, I feel very comfortable in them! My stage husband is 29! 😳Thank you for all your tips and recipes! 😍
I started eating WFPB 7 months and 22 pounds ago. It was hard for me to understand what to eat from reading a book. I found Kiki and watched probably 30 of her videos. She is such an incredibly effective communicator. Thanks Kiki! When I need continued inspiration, I seek her videos.
Jenny, you and I started about the same time-September 2020. You and I both have lost about the same, I haven’t checked my weight in over a month. I started at 189 lbs and I would like to get down to 130 lbs. My weight hasn’t moved in a while because I’ve been eating homemade granola and muffins. This video from Kiki is the “kick in the butt” I need to get back on track. I had hoped by now I would have lost 35 pounds but I have been regularly eating nuts, dried fruit, and whole grain breads. Another good resource is, “High Carb Hannah.” I often binge-watch Kiki and Hannah’s videos for inspiration and recipe ideas. Wish you success on your weight loss.🕊
@@lisarobinson9621 Hi Lisa! Even though you may not be at goal, I think losing over 20 pounds is huge! I'm glad that you went to Kiki for a dose of butt-kicking and hope that you start making progress toward your goal again.
She’s trying to sell her monthly program at 110 a month! But you can get it at 40% at 65 a month! But don’t say anything on her IG bc she’ll block you with any critical comments ! She’s needs to grow up , if she wants to be a public image and take the good and the bad. Make me really think if she’s actually a sincere person!
@@sassycakes811 my thoughts exactly. In the beginning she was more genuine. Now she is all commercial and "fake smiling" and sexy poses to show food, and it's a shame. I really liked the no nonsense Kiki from the past
@@maria_sophia I agree with you 1000%. She actually blocked me because I made a statement about the price of her program. Didn’t make a negative statement about her and how I feel she became so fake, and all about wearing bikinis and showing off her body. Honestly, she’s not an expert and no one needs to spend $65/110 bucks on a monthly program. I follow lots of health providers that actually care and their programs are free and their information is free. And they have a lot more knowledge than Hannah or herself!
@@lauriehoffman4125 I get the negative comments thing, I actually just made a comment about how expensive program is per month. And she blocked me. I loved her in the beginning but she’s changed!
Would love a video on how you STAY on this program. Processed food seems to creep in. Then, over time, weight starts creeping on. It’s like our culture just wants to get you back to that addictive food! I lost 25 lbs then, feeling great, relaxed my focus and 10 crept back on! I was 10 lbs from my goal! Need inspiration for a reset or a refocusing. ❤️
Me too, was doing great & then a little self sabotaging creeps in & for me that's my problem. We all must make choices & sometimes we make the wrong ones. Let's not beat ourselves up but let's refocus & start again.
Remember your “why” and every time you come across something that’s not on plan ask yourself is this going to help me with my goal or hinder it, can I make this more processed meal or snack a healthier way. Just some things I do and try to tell myself. I’m Definitely not perfect, the biggest thing is to just keep going, don’t let one processed meal stop you! Just be as consistent as possible.
Oh my gossshh me too! I was so good for several years...and now I’m just feeling frustrated with these last 6 -8 pounds!!!! I was able to stay focused on eating healthy and exercising...I’m not sure what happened!! Our culture definitely wants us to get back to the addictive food. If I have 3 bites of a cookie...it turns into the whole package...I just need to back to how I was before!!!!
I’m coming from a long time of eating disorders, I’m a bit heavier than I want. Im finally in a good headspace, finally stopped counting calories. I’m vegan, and very ready to follow your advice more. I love your recipes, so yummy. Thank you the advice ❤️❤️❤️
This translation (lol) from the Starch solution made sense when you explained it and I lost 22ish lbs! Last 10 to go. It has taken me almost 8 months to lose the weight,so it takes time but works.
Your so inspiring❤️ Thanks! I appreciate that tip on using the powder peanut butter. It adds flavor and not the high fat of regular peanut butter. I use it to make a peanut sauce for a veggie “ oil free” stir fry.
Love this! Been plant based for over a year and this is a great one to send to friends who are curious about how to go plant based and lose weight like i did. Thank you for summing it all up here! I cannot wait to share this with them!
Honestly, back to the basics is always the best approach. I know you probably feel like you’re repeating yourself over and over, but it’s a good thing. Every time I’m tempted to go for peanut butter or walnuts I’m going to think back to this video. I’m 5’2” and 130 lbs right now. I have been lifting the past 3 months so I’ve gained muscle weight. Now I want to shred the fat that’s over the muscle and I think your tips are going to help. 🤗
Excellent video, Kiki! I started with a, "wanting to go Vegan" mindset and it never worked for me which is incredibly frustrating as I am a Health Coach. Diving deeper into The Starch Solution and finding you and Hannah, it all makes sense. I'm thriving in this lifestyle. Ive learned so much from you!
I may be wrong here, Kiki, please weigh in on this, but I followed the starch solution and ate very low fat for the first 4 months of the start of my vegan journey (which I’m so thrilled to say will be a life long decision for me) I lost 25 lbs, then as I introduced more fats like avocado, flax meal, and added cashews in my cheese sauce, a little more pasta, crackers, that rolled into vegan butter and processed vegan products and before I knew it I was dipping avocado sushi in a siracha vegan Mayo mix! It was definitely a slippery slope!
Thank you KIKI for your soothing and reassuring voice which has kept me in line for the past 6 months and a weight loss of 20 pounds. Lately, due to confinement, got off track so this video will help me get back on track ! The starch solution is so simple to follow and I have never felt better in my head and body since I started this way of eating. It is amazing. Keep the videos coming !
I enjoy your page and your tips. You always manage to make me smile because your information is so simple. Like you i am super lazy in the kitchen. I enjoy food and eating but i think that the simpler the meals the better. I do not want to stress about elaborate meals that require a ton of moving parts. I love your positive vibes and energy.
Thank you for your videos Kiki! Your motivating videos keeps me looking forward. I've lost 35 lbs eating this way. I love how full I am. I never have to worry about being hungry. Everyone, this works!!! Take the leap and try it. You will love it. ❤️
It is hard to change eating habits when you have eaten anything for so long. I want to quit but being healthy and fit as my goal keeps me going. I have not seen results. Does it take long to get results? I guess if I saw results it would be easier to sustain. I have been eating the starch solution for 3 weeks and have lost 2 lbs.
@@1hope4beauty Don't give up. It takes a while for your body to adjust. I'm losing about 2lbs a week. I've been on this since Sept and I've hit plateaus. Big plateaus too! Go slow and adjust to this new way of eating because our bodies are so used to the standard American diet. Your body and your cravings will adjust. Also, make sure you aren't sneaking in any added fats (I.e. Oils you werent seeing like in prepared foods, nuts, nut butters, avocados). Also, be diligent about that 50/50 plate. Stress and sleep are big factors as well for us women especially. Keep motivation by watching these wonderful women like Kiki. You got this, you can do it!! ❤️
Thank you for another video Kiki. I am 60 and started the WFPB no oil in December. My weight is down 20 pounds and I have another 30 or more that I want to remove so that I'm in a very healthy weight range. I added in a once a week restaurant takeout meal as vegan and WFPB as I can get. But I need to eliminate that for while so i can get off the plateau I'm in. Your channel and journey inspires me!
And my name is Linda. I used to make and upload 18 inch doll creativity videos when my daughter was much younger so that's where CreateWithConfidence came from.
I'm 64 and this way of eating is the only thing that has worked for me. I started January 2020 and was able to lose the last 15 pounds and have kept it off. I thought since I was post menopausal I couldn't lose the weight, but The Starch Solution was the secret! You will get there. Just try and be as consistent as you can. It doesn't happen over night but it will happen. I wish you the best of luck
@@ChewonVegan Your channel inspires me too. I used WW twice and took off 50+ pounds, twice, but after a few years of maintaining, the plan and logging my food became tiresome. I also got tired of complying and the lure of not cooking and eating out was the easier and of course hedonistic path . I see healrh changes now that I want to maintain so I do not have to take medicine (blood pressure, cholesterol) i really hope I can stick to this way of eating forever.
Thank you KiKi, just what I needed today, I have been eating peanut butter and drizzling olive oil on my salads again this video was a kick in the pants I needed ❤️
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for such thorough videos! I've been vegan for 19 years but struggle a bit with weight - I'm already feeling better eating lower fat and cutting out oil! You are the best, Kiki! I appreciate all of your videos!
I always feel empowered when watching your videos. I’ve come a long way but still struggle to move the scale but I know where I’m failing. I cut out all avocado, nuts, nut butters for over a month and still didn’t lose weight and got completely discouraged. After watching you I feel motivated to try again. I’m 56, in menopause and don’t exercise....none of which helps me but I’m not making excuses. I could do better. I’m going to go back to the drawing board because I feel like my life is “on hold” or in a holding pattern while try to get to the best version of myself. Thank you Kiki!❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been doing the starch solution diet off and on since last summer and I’ve been following you and Hannah the whole time. You both are so inspiring! This video just showed me I’ve been doing it wrong, there’s a lot of things I need to clean up just like you said with the cereals and bread and other things. I only have about 15-20 pounds total that I still want to get rid of. Thank you for your helpful videos! 😘
I started my vegan journey a year ago thanks to Kiki. I have found over the course of time that I had to incorporate some fat back into my diet and she is wise to say see how your body tolerates these things as far as weight gain etc. I still have 5 lb or so that I could lose but I'm not losing sleep over that!!!!!💪😁❣️
I struggle with weakness when eating this way. Any advice? I’m eating oatmeal with lots of fruit in the morning with a tablespoon of chia seeds. Lunch is half greens half starch. Dinner is some fruit as I’m not hungry enough to quite eat something else
Thank you Kiki for the reminder tips. I find that I get sick to my stomach if I eat things outside of this way. When before I went whole food plant based (2 years ago) I could eat anything and feel fine. Sometimes it’s annoying I can’t eat out at a restaurant and order like impossible meat tacos or burger and not get sick. I have to continue to keep it whole food. Has anyone else experienced this after switching to a WFPB no oil way of eating?
Hi Kiki! Wow, I continue to just appreciate and love you so much for your light and sharing of knowledge! One question I have is, how has your dental health been long-term on this lifestyle? Have you noticed any changes for worse or better? Thank you!
Your recommendation for fat-free balsamic vinegar has changed my life. The variety of flavors are a complete game-changer. Vegetables are delicious and edible without butter or cheese! Who knew?? LOL. And your ranch! I've written it in other places, but OMG! I'm down 7 pounds and I'm never deprived. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, this cannot be this easy.
I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER...I eat the sugar and salt free...it's my happy place...could I use tahini spread? and I LOVE AVOS....I live in cape town...and we have loads here
My issue is nighttime eating. Daytime is fine, but then I get tired, zombie myself into the kitchen and eat 2 pb sandwiches putting me 800 calories over. I need to be locked away at 8pm like a monster.
I’ve been there too, but now I turn out all the lights and get in bed. I keep water or iced tea next to my bed. I’m not a fan of darkness, so I refuse to get up!
Thank you. I will surely read this starch solution book. The starch intake scares me due to my type2 diabetes issue. I have been putting olive oil in everything I cook. I am also 5’1” at 200 lbs, HBP, type2 diabetes.
Hello Kiki! I've been binging on your you tube videos and will be starting Sunday. I'm inspired with your weight loss journey and healthy lifestyle! Thanks!
I love your Ranch Dressing but its made with a half cup of cashews. I’d like to sub out the nuts with white beans. Have you tried this substitution for your Ranch Dressing?
Can you please talk about the difference in oatmeal in a video I’m so confused on which ones are better for you and what the difference is in them....rolled, steel cut, old fashioned, quick...etc
loved this video and I'm totally going to share it with some of my friends!!!! I love how nice you are and that I don't have to feel ashamed of my body or the proc. of loosing weight very encouraging
Every time I hear you talk about how you lost weight I'm inspired. I'm glad you keep reminding us of how well it really works, Lord knows I need the reminder. :)
This was great. I know this stuff, but I really appreciate the way you present it, and your reminders to be patient with your body (and recognizing that exercising when heavy can be uncomfortable). You are very down to earth and I appreciate that. I also appreciate the no oil message. There are some amazing plant-based chefs whose videos I love but who cook with oil and masses of coconut milk and it just makes me cringe - so unhealthy. Makes me sad because they are missing the boat. I still make their recipes - sans oil and coconut milk! Thank you also for the reminder to go to Instagram! And for the links!
Thanks for these "reminder" videos about your weight loss journey and what I should and should not be doing on mine. It really helps to keep hearing this information every so often to help keep me on track. Thanks Kiki!!! :)))
Very nice video, Kiki! I have to tell you that sometimes I "slink back" to old eating habits...this gave me motivation to continue and not be so hard on myself! THANK YOU for all you do...you have directed a lot of people to good, healthy eating habits and are a good example with hubby and kids! Blessings to you and yours! :) And, again, thank you! Be encouraged that you reached at least one person (ME) ! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
What great advice about nuts, seeds and avocados. I have had the same experience with them! I love them but my body doesn't. I hope to be able to incorporate a little as time goes on!
Kiki, where can I get a copy of your calorie density chart? I love the food groups you included. Thank you so much! You are so inspirational and I appreciate all your work for us!
i just googled images of calorie density chart. up came a hundred copies of that very chart in all different colours! some with way more detail. but all including at least what Kiki's chart showed.
The first time in my 46 years I can actually eat happily and lose weight. Thanks to ur guidance Kiki I’m killing it. I’m worried I eat too much rice cake though, the gluten free corn ones. Thanks again🥰🇬🇧
Excellent video 👍I can relate I am a vegan junkie. How do you make vegetable broth to saute vegetables? Why do you have to eat non starchy first from your plate? I would eat together maybe thats my downfall.
I am vegan since 2000 and feel just amazing! 😍🙌🍰 btw all my family is 100% vegan and we all feel great, we eat very tastily and we just happy to be vegans! We all from Crimea! love your channel thank you so much!🙌😍🤗hello to all vegan ppl on the Planet we all one big family!
My nutritionist has suggested I add chia seeds and vegan protein powder to my spinach & fruit smoothies. What is your opinion when trying to lose weight and smoothies and added proteins?
If I purchase the book called McDougall Program for Maximum Weight-loss, would I also benefit from The Starch Solution by Dr. McDougall? In other words, does one book basically replace the other?
Thank you for the info, especially about exercise. Ive been down on myself for not doing much but this video is a great reminder to be kind to the body. I’ve been struggling but I am also petite size and I weigh 185 lbs. started this lifestyle 2 weeks ago. Appreciate your videos and information. You are an inspiration!
Awesome Video Kiki! Very motivating and encouraging! Would love to see more and more videos. Everytime I watch a video I get back on track and feel motivated. Thank you!
Nut butters are my downfall. I can't have a little bit. A serving for me is 1/4 cup, so I need to totally stop eating nut/seed butters. I should mention that it was often 1/4 cup 2-3 times a day!
Thank you! I’m a recent follower. You explain that book perfectly 😊 I read the book before finding your channel. I’m about 80% vegan. Dinners are the hardest with my hubby who is not in the same journey. I’ve been eating this way since January and have not lost a pound lol Time for me to cut out the oil, nut butter and avocado 😩 Hopefully with these changes I’ll see the scale move 😊 only 12 lbs to go 🙌
How often do you use green juice in your diet Kiki? I'd love to see how you incorporate into your what I eat in a day videos. Love your channel btw 💗 🍜🍴
I find this extremely tough because I've been vegan since 2015 yet I'm still overweight. Past year I've learnt how to cook with peanut butter all kinds of vegan goods and I'm still same weight. It doesn't matter how much I exercise my weight is fixed. I'm gonna try the 50/50 approach but it's really hard to quit on the things I LOVE cooking
💪Kiki!!! How do you keep your muscle DEFINITION!? Wow! You look beyond amazing!I Would love a video on keeping and building muscle!💪 Muscle, not only makes you look great, but keeps you strong at any age! That's my goal, be strong, stay strong!💪 Thank you in advance for your tips!💞 Abundant blessings for you and your family!🤗🙌🙏
That is one aspect of her journey that she is not quite transparent about. Just looking at her, it is obvious that working out is a BIG part of her lifestyle, but she is always vague when the topic comes up.
I lift now and am intentional about building muscle, im very transparent about that and share my workouts in my stories on instagram all the time:) But during weight loss, all I did was walk:)
Yay! Te extrañamos!❤️🙌yo se que por Insta tienes que ponerte make up pero te ves tan joven sin make up al natural! Xoxo❤️not only weight loss but if you want to heal disease it has to be whole food plant based!🙌tu eres mi inspiración! God bless you!❤️which hormone protocol did you follow?
Thank you so much for continuing to drill down on the principles of calorie density! I have hit a plateau recently and it's always a good reminder. I love the calorie density chart that you made (Chocolate is 3000!), is that something you share with the public? Thanks!!
Refreshing to hear that carbs aren't the devil. At age 60 I have always lost weight having a well balanced plate, but now I am eliminating meat. Great video, very informative, not just a pretty face!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for such thorough videos! I've been vegan for 19 years but struggle a bit with weight - I'm already feeling better eating lower fat and cutting out oil! You are the best, Kiki! I appreciate all of your videos!
I love the earth runners!!! I finally got a pair last week and wear them nonstop. 😍
I just got some and they are killing the gap between my toes!
I lost 70lbs and then gained back 30. Since finding your videos and changing my diet January 1, 2021 I've lost 15 lbs! Thank you Kiki!
Kiki I'm loving your tan! You are glowing!
Oh thank you!
I always feel empowered when watching your videos. I’ve come a long way but still struggle to move the scale but I know where I’m failing. I cut out all avocado, nuts, nut butters for over a month and still didn’t lose weight and got completely discouraged. After watching you I feel motivated to try again. I’m 56, in menopause and don’t exercise....none of which helps me but I’m not making excuses. I could do better. I’m going to go back to the drawing board because I feel like my life is “on hold” or in a holding pattern while try to get to the best version of myself. Thank you Kiki!❤️❤️❤️
Hang in there! Consistently is key. I’m 51 and have lost 91 pounds so far eating this way. You can do it too!
Do the walking. An hour a day. You can split it into two walks or even four. It gives you so many more calories to play with.
I’ve been doing the starch solution diet off and on since last summer and I’ve been following you and Hannah the whole time. You both are so inspiring! This video just showed me I’ve been doing it wrong, there’s a lot of things I need to clean up just like you said with the cereals and bread and other things. I only have about 15-20 pounds total that I still want to get rid of. Thank you for your helpful videos! 😘
I’m reading the book!!! And changing my diet .. I want to see the beautiful changes in me too💗
I started my vegan journey a year ago thanks to Kiki. I have found over the course of time that I had to incorporate some fat back into my diet and she is wise to say see how your body tolerates these things as far as weight gain etc. I still have 5 lb or so that I could lose but I'm not losing sleep over that!!!!!💪😁❣️
Starting over...This is right on time. Thanks :)
I'm in the same boat we can do this 👊
I’m with you too
Yay! We got this!
I struggle with weakness when eating this way. Any advice? I’m eating oatmeal with lots of fruit in the morning with a tablespoon of chia seeds.
Lunch is half greens half starch.
Dinner is some fruit as I’m not hungry enough to quite eat something else
Thank you Kiki for the reminder tips. I find that I get sick to my stomach if I eat things outside of this way. When before I went whole food plant based (2 years ago) I could eat anything and feel fine. Sometimes it’s annoying I can’t eat out at a restaurant and order like impossible meat tacos or burger and not get sick. I have to continue to keep it whole food. Has anyone else experienced this after switching to a WFPB no oil way of eating?
Wow! 😳 I almost think that’s a GOOD problem to have-it’ll keep you on track!
Hi Kiki! Wow, I continue to just appreciate and love you so much for your light and sharing of knowledge! One question I have is, how has your dental health been long-term on this lifestyle? Have you noticed any changes for worse or better? Thank you!
Your recommendation for fat-free balsamic vinegar has changed my life. The variety of flavors are a complete game-changer. Vegetables are delicious and edible without butter or cheese! Who knew?? LOL. And your ranch! I've written it in other places, but OMG! I'm down 7 pounds and I'm never deprived. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, this cannot be this easy.
I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER...I eat the sugar and salt free...it's my happy place...could I use tahini spread? and I LOVE AVOS....I live in cape town...and we have loads here
My issue is nighttime eating. Daytime is fine, but then I get tired, zombie myself into the kitchen and eat 2 pb sandwiches putting me 800 calories over. I need to be locked away at 8pm like a monster.
This is my issue! I don’t restrict during the day. I eat enough. It’s not hunger, but a horrible, pesky habit. I don’t know how to stop.
I’ve been there too, but now I turn out all the lights and get in bed. I keep water or iced tea next to my bed. I’m not a fan of darkness, so I refuse to get up!
Haha. Can relate xox
Get the crap out of the house
Fantastic explanation. I think of you every time I eat dinner when I cover the first 50% of my plate with salad.
Thank you. I will surely read this starch solution book. The starch intake scares me due to my type2 diabetes issue. I have been putting olive oil in everything I cook. I am also 5’1” at 200 lbs, HBP, type2 diabetes.
Dr Brook Goldner says avacados don't cause weight gain...she says you can eat as many as you want.
She's got videos about it.
The problem is, they’re high in fat, and the key to losing weight and keeping it off on a high-carb, starch-based diet is keeping your fat intake LOW.
@@courtneyblue15 I'm just saying 😘
So with you on the avocados! Just made guac lol. But i hear you- it's all a balance!!
Have you ever thought of you and Hannah hosting a retreat in one of the facilities in arizona like fully raw Christina does in Bali?
Chef Ramses Bravo has a recipe steaming greens in apple cider (not apple cider vinegar). Good one.
What does Dr Neil Barnard say about fats that's different from McDougall?
Hello Kiki! I've been binging on your you tube videos and will be starting Sunday. I'm inspired with your weight loss journey and healthy lifestyle! Thanks!
I love your Ranch Dressing but its made with a half cup of cashews. I’d like to sub out the nuts with white beans. Have you tried this substitution for your Ranch Dressing?
I’ve done this sub and it taste great!
Can you please talk about the difference in oatmeal in a video I’m so confused on which ones are better for you and what the difference is in them....rolled, steel cut, old fashioned, quick...etc
loved this video and I'm totally going to share it with some of my friends!!!! I love how nice you are and that I don't have to feel ashamed of my body or the proc. of loosing weight very encouraging
Every time I hear you talk about how you lost weight I'm inspired. I'm glad you keep reminding us of how well it really works, Lord knows I need the reminder. :)
This was great. I know this stuff, but I really appreciate the way you present it, and your reminders to be patient with your body (and recognizing that exercising when heavy can be uncomfortable). You are very down to earth and I appreciate that. I also appreciate the no oil message. There are some amazing plant-based chefs whose videos I love but who cook with oil and masses of coconut milk and it just makes me cringe - so unhealthy. Makes me sad because they are missing the boat. I still make their recipes - sans oil and coconut milk! Thank you also for the reminder to go to Instagram! And for the links!
Thanks for these "reminder" videos about your weight loss journey and what I should and should not be doing on mine. It really helps to keep hearing this information every so often to help keep me on track. Thanks Kiki!!! :)))
Thanks for the reminder Kiki this is a real help thanks so much 👏🤗 you are so blessed!
This was very informative and I love how you explain this way of doing things. Thanks for all you do to get this information out there.
You are glowingly beautiful! Thank you for all you do to help and encourage us struggling in the beginning of this lifestyle
Very nice video, Kiki! I have to tell you that sometimes I "slink back" to old eating habits...this gave me motivation to continue and not be so hard on myself! THANK YOU for all you do...you have directed a lot of people to good, healthy eating habits and are a good example with hubby and kids! Blessings to you and yours! :) And, again, thank you! Be encouraged that you reached at least one person (ME) ! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
What great advice about nuts, seeds and avocados. I have had the same experience with them! I love them but my body doesn't. I hope to be able to incorporate a little as time goes on!
Kiki, where can I get a copy of your calorie density chart? I love the food groups you included. Thank you so much! You are so inspirational and I appreciate all your work for us!
i just googled images of calorie density chart. up came a hundred copies of that very chart in all different colours! some with way more detail. but all including at least what Kiki's chart showed.
The first time in my 46 years I can actually eat happily and lose weight. Thanks to ur guidance Kiki I’m killing it. I’m worried I eat too much rice cake though, the gluten free corn ones. Thanks again🥰🇬🇧
What do I do to substitute avacodo? I can't eat them without severe abdominal pain for several hours.
Love this video. So helpful as all of your videos are. Thanks so much for sharing how you live this healthy lifestyle.
I started a week ago already lost 5 lbs and feeling full easily just by eating fruit and veggies as much as I want!
Thx Kiki. I have been enjoying a few frozen sweet cherries as a dessert or evening snack. Thanks for the suggestion on one of your videos.
We appreciate you Plantiful Kiki so much!! 💗
Such a good video overview of all the key points!! Sending to everyone I know. HUGE THANKS!!!!!
You seem like a nice, caring person! Thanks for the informative video.
What's a good simple dressing with no oils
Excellent video 👍I can relate I am a vegan junkie. How do you make vegetable broth to saute vegetables? Why do you have to eat non starchy first from your plate? I would eat together maybe thats my downfall.
I am vegan since 2000 and feel just amazing! 😍🙌🍰 btw all my family is 100% vegan and we all feel great, we eat very tastily and we just happy to be vegans! We all from Crimea! love your channel thank you so much!🙌😍🤗hello to all vegan ppl on the Planet we all one big family!
I learned a lot from your videos.... Thank you so much...I have lost 20 pounds in 2 monthes so far....
291 nowwwwww 234 you are a blessing girl
yay!!!! congratulations !!!
Thank you, I'm so proud of myself ❤️
Mine came with a screwed up strap. So frustrating.. the company sent me this graphic to help...ugh...will try again when the weather is warm.
That’s wonderful, you must be feeling amazing! I’m hoping to get results like yours soon 🙏🏼
Still doing the 50/50 plate?
I love watching your videos on sunday nights because your videos help me get in the right mind set... Thank you for sharing 💚
Just started the eat more weigh less course. Can’t wait to get involved. I live in Colorado also so love watching your adventures:)
My nutritionist has suggested I add chia seeds and vegan protein powder to my spinach & fruit smoothies. What is your opinion when trying to lose weight and smoothies and added proteins?
If I purchase the book called McDougall Program for Maximum Weight-loss, would I also benefit from The Starch Solution by Dr. McDougall? In other words, does one book basically replace the other?
Thank you for the info, especially about exercise. Ive been down on myself for not doing much but this video is a great reminder to be kind to the body. I’ve been struggling but I am also petite size and I weigh 185 lbs. started this lifestyle 2 weeks ago. Appreciate your videos and information. You are an inspiration!
You can do it! Don't beat yourself up:) its a journey and you are doing great!
Sis yo skin and hair is POPPIN?💗💗💗💗💗💗
Thank you!!
Poppin is the perfect word xox
The kings to the kingdom in one little RUclips video. Thank you for you generosity, and inspiration.
Awesome Video Kiki! Very motivating and encouraging! Would love to see more and more videos. Everytime I watch a video I get back on track and feel motivated. Thank you!
Nut butters are my downfall. I can't have a little bit. A serving for me is 1/4 cup, so I need to totally stop eating nut/seed butters. I should mention that it was often 1/4 cup 2-3 times a day!
nothin wrong w/nut butters if u only do it once a day
Thank you! I’m a recent follower. You explain that book perfectly 😊 I read the book before finding your channel. I’m about 80% vegan. Dinners are the hardest with my hubby who is not in the same journey. I’ve been eating this way since January and have not lost a pound lol Time for me to cut out the oil, nut butter and avocado 😩 Hopefully with these changes I’ll see the scale move 😊 only 12 lbs to go 🙌
How often do you use green juice in your diet Kiki? I'd love to see how you incorporate into your what I eat in a day videos. Love your channel btw 💗 🍜🍴
I love when you provide links!!!
Thank you for the reminder about oil. Texas
how about chia seeds?
how big is the plate? is it dinner sized or salad plate size?
Kiki, do you ever use plant milk like almond, cashew or coconut please?
What about butter? I never hear you mention it, is butter ok to use? I like putting it on my vegetables.
👏🏼 what a nice morning surprise
Also, where is tofu and tempeh on this chart? I know the MWL plan says not to eat it, would it be with beans and legumes?
I believe it with avocado, still healthy and can be eaten and added to meals, just don't overdo it:)
Thank you so much will be reading up on the starch solution
Thank you for such a clear and helpful video. I really appreciate your time and help to share this.
Hi Kiki. Potatoes kind of constipate me. What can I do?
I find this extremely tough because I've been vegan since 2015 yet I'm still overweight. Past year I've learnt how to cook with peanut butter all kinds of vegan goods and I'm still same weight. It doesn't matter how much I exercise my weight is fixed. I'm gonna try the 50/50 approach but it's really hard to quit on the things I LOVE cooking
We are the exact same height 5 feet and 3 and 3/4 inches 😊
💪Kiki!!! How do you keep your muscle DEFINITION!? Wow! You look beyond amazing!I Would love a video on keeping and building muscle!💪
Muscle, not only makes you look great, but keeps you strong at any age! That's my goal, be strong, stay strong!💪
Thank you in advance for your tips!💞 Abundant blessings for you and your family!🤗🙌🙏
That is one aspect of her journey that she is not quite transparent about. Just looking at her, it is obvious that working out is a BIG part of her lifestyle, but she is always vague when the topic comes up.
She did talk about that near the end.
I lift now and am intentional about building muscle, im very transparent about that and share my workouts in my stories on instagram all the time:) But during weight loss, all I did was walk:)
@@PlantifulKiki Thank you so much for answering! 🤗🙏 This is why I follow you, YOU ARE ALWAYS TRANSPARENT!!🙏🤗
Yay! Te extrañamos!❤️🙌yo se que por Insta tienes que ponerte make up pero te ves tan joven sin make up al natural! Xoxo❤️not only weight loss but if you want to heal disease it has to be whole food plant based!🙌tu eres mi inspiración! God bless you!❤️which hormone protocol did you follow?
awww thank you!! I follow the advice of Dr. Neal Barnard for hormonal health.
Thank you so much for continuing to drill down on the principles of calorie density! I have hit a plateau recently and it's always a good reminder. I love the calorie density chart that you made (Chocolate is 3000!), is that something you share with the public? Thanks!!
Refreshing to hear that carbs aren't the devil. At age 60 I have always lost weight having a well balanced plate, but now I am eliminating meat.
Great video, very informative, not just a pretty face!
Can you do a 7 day meal plan?
Been vegan for years, eating WFPB for years and exercise daily...no weight loss. So frustrating! I will re-read the Starch Solution.
Such an informative and helpful video! Thanks Kiki!
Love this new revised video, Kiki! Would love to know more about the weight lifting you're doing... is it a home program?
