Hi everyone. So excited to share my Starch Solution story with you. Check out the food I am eating. It's absolutely beautiful. Leave any questions you have in the comments below. The last five weeks during quarantine has been the perfect time to start this diet.

This looks incredible! I’ve been plant base/vegan for two years but never tried something this. I have a quick clarification question, where do you get your protein for the day?

I've eaten this way for about 14 years. Yup. It works. I refuse to go hungry and eat a ton of food. I'm fit and trim and active and energetic at 58.

@designmybestlife

Me too. 10 years I have a ton of energy, I am trim and fit. I have fabulous lab numbers. I’m 64😊

The starch solution is just so eye-opening. I discovered it after feeling really, really sick on an 11 day water fast I had planned to do for 30 days. It inspired me so much, I broke that fast, and as soon as I started eating again I put on every single pound I had lost during it. It was so frustrating. 13 days into eating following this book, I lost 2 pounds! It's nothing amazing, but losing anything while eating big portions felt wonderful to me. I also feel so much more energetic than I ever felt before, and finally have the motivation to do exercise too! I've been Vegan for 6 years, but most of those years were either starving myself, or eating far too many Vegan junk foods, I lost no weight (I'm literally over 100 lbs overweight, it's terrible). I feel like I'm a bad example for Veganism, hopefully I can stick to this way of eating and change that.

Some say i must lower fatintake so i tried that , not working. Also tried carb-ups - not working. Now I am seriously concidering switching to this starch solution way of eating, but i'm scared what a sudden high carb meals would do in my body after not eating them for so long. Have you lost weight with SS eating? Did you gain weight when first started? How long since starting does weight go down? Regards Jo

Thanks so much. So exciting. Very smart to be doing small things while you are building up to getting started. Let's support each other on this journey.

Oftentimes, there is a candida situation that is dying off and the gut is healing in the beginning. It can take up to three, or four months for this inner healing to complete. Do you have a white tongue in the morning? That is a GOOD sign you have die off happening. This was my same situation and after three months the weight started dropping off. I wasn't eating much food at all before Starch Solution, but the candida over growth (from sugar and FAT) was making me FAT. Even though I wasn't losing weight initially, my joints felt SO much better within two weeks! That alone was motivation to keep going.

looks absolutely wonderful. have to start it. cheers.

Go for it! Even though you still have to have a calorie deficit because math is the foundation of all of this, by using half a plate of starch and half veggies, the veggies add volume to the starches so you are full for just half a plate of calories. Where as restricting yourself never works, because it makes you hungry because you don't have enough food. Doing this diet, you are full, not snacking all day and still getting minimal calories at the end of the day. So glad you like it. I am going to do a video where I put all my meals in a calorie counter for the day and show how I am still under my limit for the day had I been on Weight Watchers of something like that. Let's do this together and keep each other accountable. - Joey.

I'm back on low fat as of today. I'd ventured off into lower carb, HIGH fat vegan and started gaining weight and am feeling weak. I was eating A LOT of nut/seed butters. Now I see why Chef AJ had to quit nuts/seeds in order to lose weight.

Ok, so good point. I LOVE LOVE LOVE nuts/seed butters. I LOVE avocado. And, those are whole food and plant based. You cant go wrong, right? Ummmm not true. But of course, like Dr. McDougall says, "The fat you eat is the fat you wear". It sucks because those are literally my favorite foods. But once I get the weight off, I can incorporate those back into my diet in moderation, and you will be able to also. I mean, who wants to eat Polenta instead of nut butters? HA! Not me. But for now, it has to work. Right?

Years ago, I joined WW, I had the same results, I would do everything right, and I would lose .2 oz In a month I lost 1/2 pound. I was vegetarian for 25 years and the last three years went vegan, I was still not losing, started the Starch solution last Thursday, in fact I posted you after the first week, and I was down 4 lbs, well it’s a week and a half, and I am down 5 pounds now. I am always full, and I love being able to eat starches again, I always loved vegetables, so I am doing a happy dance right now I love your channel it’s simple cooking, and you get right to the point 🥦🥔🥦🥔🥦🥔

McDougall's recipes are some of the best. They aren't fancy, and that's what makes them amazing.

That's awesome good transformation. I think a lot of people don't understand that most of the diets that are out there are quick fix. Or you have to measure and pre-pack your food. Why all these ideas work they don't always work for everyone. I've tried and I'm still on the starch solution. And it makes total sense. I've even prescribed versions of it to clients at the gym specifically if they don't want to follow a traditional cutting weight diet. I get good results with the starch solution as long as they are being truthful about their intake. You will think at first that you need protein. But you get plenty of it what most likely people feel while they're on the starch solution is there body cutting weight and eating fat. They're going to gravitate towards eating fat even though you're putting an extra thousand calories into your meal. The 10 lb are always the hardest to lose then I would say that Robert cheeke method is a little bit easier when you got to lose that extra weight and you want to get ripped. But the storage solutions great for everyone you don't have to measure your food just got to eat the starch and follow the percentages on a flight. And there's tons of variety in combinations

Usually, about 2 hours later I'm snacky, and I grab my plate and finish it. Technically I still only had the one meal, I just broke it into two sittings so my body can digest it without feeling full. I am now eating breakfast too. I have a "What I eat in a day" video I am filming this week so that will show you how I get my exercise in and all that. Congrats on the 4lb weight loss. Thats terrific. I am so glad we are on this journey together.

Plant Based Dads thank you for the reply, that’s a good idea, save potion of it for snack... I would be happy if I could lose 10 lbs, so the 4 pound loss was a gift, plus I’m never hungry, a even bigger gift. Great channel, thank you for your advise😀

After discovering “The Starch Solution” I’ve had the exact same plan! 50/50 starch and veggies, no oils, maybe some fruit as a dessert and exercising. The only thing that kinda worries me is the fat-soluble vitamins. I was thinking about maybe including some seeds, nuts and avocado from time to time, but I’m still not sure. Can you shed some light on that?

I've been on Starch Solution for over a year! LOVE this way of eating! Thank you John and Mary McDougall! Maintaining (even during Covid) works! Good for you!!! 👍

Dinnie, Yes I do take B12 supplements. Thats really the only thing I take though. I went for blood work about 1 year ago and I have a plant based doctor. He said all my numbers were really good, including my B12 so that was nice to hear. As I am approaching 60yrs old I wonder about that stuff.

You look awesome!

Aww thanks so much. I am only 5'1" so that 30lbs is a lot of weight for me. Remember that you are eating whole food carbs, not junk food carbs. There are a lot of videos that explain how that is different. You still dont want to overeat, because in the end, it is about calories in calories out. But, if you stick to whole food carbs on half your plate and non starchy veggies on the other half, you will see a different for sure. Thanks for joining me on this journey and welcome aboard Mari!

Congratulations! You look great. I have been watching the Kiki channel and discovered the Starch Solution book that way. My goal is 50 pounds. After 2 weeks w/o meat I have lost zero pounds. I have eaten cheese and nuts infrequently, but damn...I was hoping for better results by now. I love veggies so this plan is not hard at all, but i am disappointed so far

Cora. I loves me some Kiki! Ok, if you are not losing weight you are getting too many calories and too much fat and maybe even eating too much processed foods. These, nuts, cheese and oils have a lot of fat in them, even infrequently. Can I ask you to write down for 7 days every single thing you put in your mouth. From the moment you wake up till you hit the bed at night. Then you can either send the info to me in email (plantbaseddads@gmail.com) or look them over yourself. I am pretty sure we will find out where you are going astray that way

I do feel better but I would like some weight loss. Next I'm counting calories but it's hard to do with some recipes I've picked up that don't give you that information. Help!

HI Karen. Join our Facebook Group: Plant Based Dads Starch Solution Enthusiasts. We are all on The Starch Solution in that group, and it's all people meal prepping on the weekends, showing pics of their foods during the week and supporting each other. Plus, I can help you directly if you are in that group. As far as your question, you HAVE to be getting too many calories. Are you doing half a plate of whole food starches on one side and half a plate of whole veggies on the other? Use a smaller plate for each meal. If you get hungry between meals have another small plate meal. Dr. McDougall in the book talks about what to do if you just are not losing weight on this. He says completely eliminate fats, have 4-5 smaller meals instead of 3 big meals, limit fruits to once a day. I would be willing to bet that you are just getting in too many calories. Download Chronometer and start tracking your calories. You can add the ingredients into Chronometer and it will create the calorie and fat info for you for that meal so you can do that if you use a recipe that doesn't have nutrient info. Otherwise, write down everything you put in your mouth for 3 days and Then go back and try and do a calorie count (or join the FB group and message me from there and i'll do it). Another thing is, are you eating leafy greens as your veggies? I like to have a bowl of salad for my veggies as many times a week as I can for dinner cause it cleans you all out inside. Sounds gross but thats what it does. Seriously , start with a smaller plate (maybe a side plate) and use that for your breakfast, lunch and dinner. And when you get hungry between meals, have another portion of whatever meal you had previously eaten on that smaller plate. I bet that alone would be successful for a week. We will make this work for you!

Often times there is a candida situation and that is dying off and the gut is healing in the beginning. It can take up to three months for this inner healing to complete. Do you have a white tongue in the morning? That is a GOOD sign you have die off happening. This was my same situation and after three months the weight started dropping off. I wasn't eating much food at all before Starch Solution, but the candida over growth was making me FAT. Even though I wasn't losing weight initially, my joints felt SO much better within two weeks! That alone was motivation to keep going.

I'm starting this plan on Monday. I've done just about every diet you can imagine. They either restrict your calories, restrict your carbs, or both. I need to be able to eat and I really don't want to give up rice and bread and pasta. I have so many health issues and I'm really hoping this helps. I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

Hi Brittany. I felt the same way. Dieting is still about restricting calories, there is no getting around that. The idea of the Starch Solution is that whole food starches are lower in calories and denser in nutrients. So if you fill up your plate with 400 calories in potatoes or pasta on one side and 50 calories of broccoli on the other, you are stuffed for 450 calories. The key to this diet is filling up your entire plate and making sure half of it is veggies that have very few calories. You are always eating enough food and you are eating foods that are great for your health. I think that you will really like it. Thanks for coming on the journey with us. Lets keep each other accountable. We got this! -Joey

I am 6 feet tall. I was 145 pounds when I graduated high school. At 215 pounds all my joints hurt and my energy level was terrible. September 1, 2019 I started the Mcdougall program. After about 6 months I stopped losing weight at 166 pounds. I have a lot more energy and my joint pain is gone! I feel 10 years younger. I can eat all I want of the right foods and I am not snacking all the time! My joints don't hurt anymore. One downside is my 40 inch waist is 34 inches now and the bib overalls I wear are $90.00 a pair! Anybody need some 40x34 work pants? God bless John Mcdougall!

Soooo encouraged by your video and success....i have a question that no one that I've asked has answered 😏.....is it normal to not be able to consume a large portion during my meals? After a small portion of the 50/50 I cant even force myself to eat more and I practice IF so I don't eat until 2pm daily and literally full from one meal til about 6pm then I close my window at 8pm

they want you to deprive yourself completely of natural fats and omegas. and essentially go crazy. no avocados. no nuts. no seeds. no fats. sound ok to you? or does it sound like just another extreme fad diet like atkins? deprivation is never a sound dietary approach. Eat well. eat a rainbow. eat diversely. live long.

@@Izzazzo What you say is very balanced. I understand the SS this way: eat more calorie dilute food like the starch solution recommends, for a temporary time, until you reach your healthy weight. Then in the maintenance stage add back in more calorie dense food. It's only temporary.

If you felt restricted on weight watchers or were hungry you just weren't doing it correctly. You have to build your meals around zero point foods to boost your calories up as well. I did WW for years and lost a good amount of weight. I prefer the SS method though. :)

just curious. why are you are no longer on a WFPB diet as evidenced by the consumption of powered vegan smoothie product? that is a highly processed food. Can I still access the original starch based solution recipes you created? they were great!

Oatmeal is great for breakfast on the starch solution, Just pair it with a fruit on the side and your are good to go. When I do eat breakfast, I eat buckwheat and I try and get my fruit in for the day at that meal.
