Plantains and Green Banana are two of the staples of a Jamaican diet. Boil the green bananas and mash with butter, salt and pepper. Its tastier than mash potato. Plantains can be boiled, baked, fried, or grated and made into a tasty porridge. Depending on how you prepare Plantain it can be eaten at any stage from very green to over ripe. Try them you will open a whole new taste adventure!

[@timwhittemore3456]

A few fundamental questions just on plantains... 1st, about the degree of ripeness. Plantains range from green (unripe), to pure black. Though they look like they should be thrown out at this point, the unopened plantain with an entirely black shell is just the the fully ripened stage. Once such a plantain is opened, it is good to eat. I guess however, that since in this stage, it is more sugar and less starch once fully ripened, that for our purposes here, we should avoid fully ripened plantains? Also, there is the middle ground, where the plantain skin is a mix of yellow and black/brown. Is it still good for our purposes here to consume a quarter of a plantain in this middle ground of ripeness? This brings up another point - if I only use a quarter of a plantain at a time, is there a way to save the rest to consume on 3 other days in the future? My guess is that if I pick a green plantain, and leaving the skin on, cut off one quarter, then the remaining three quarters should be ok, since there is only the one end exposed to air for a couple days until I eat the next quarter? I can then just cut off a fraction of an inch of the exposed end and toss that? Then the 3rd question - to gain the benefit we are discussing here, does the 1/4 plantain need to be consumed raw? Will it change the beneficial function of the resistant starch we are after, if I bake, fry or grill the 1/4 plantain with butter, avocado oil, coconut oil, or even EVOO on really low heat? I'm thinking it could be a really nice tasty treat to prepare it this way with some good fat like these, and coated with a monkfruit brown sugar substitute/cinnamon mixture. I just don't know if that would negate the benefit we are after here. Thanks.

I'm curious if you've thought about designing a greenhouse that could support the minimal production necessary for a single human like yourself. There's a great Texas based group called Ez-Gro and plenty of base research has been done by all the entrepreneurial horticulturalists on the black market. Also curious if you know the stories of the plants you mention... You know the names and what they are useful for but I want to learn about what makes those plants happy so we can keep em around too. Don't you? Let's talk about it!

Thank you , Thomas Delauer

I’m so confused. I a, following strict keto, which you seem to embrace. But I’m 68 years old. Here you are recommending things like plantains, chickpeas, and bananas, which I can’t have on keto. By the way, I love how you’ve slowed down your speaking a little and started defining your terms and making things a little simpler for lay people to understand, I hope you hone in on those things more.

Can I drink Iced Green Tea throughout the day (caffeinated & or decaf)?

[@MelodyInTheChaos]

I'm Dominican and one of my favorite dishes is boiled green banana with butter. It's delicious. And we love our plantains ....mangu and tostones....wish I could figure a healthy way to make tostones they only work fried in oil lol.

You know when the warranty for a major appliance runs out? When you hit fifty you feel that warranty ran out. Trust me being in my 50's your body changes. Thanks for another wonderful and informative video.

I don't know if u work out or not, but if u don't...plz check out Wendy Ida videos and 'Fitness With Cindy. They re-energized me! I'm hooked!

[@shellykearney7821]

@@staceykersting705 yes, I do but not as much as I would like too because of time allowance and living space at the moment. That will be changing in a couple of months. Thank you for sharing a recommendation. I will surely check it out. Have a wonderful weekend. ⚘

Thanks Bro! Very helpful and informative. 👍👍💯

[@ibolyamolnar3211]

I love lentils. What is the advantage if any of chickpeas compared to lentils?

[@Bonbon53539]

Pomegranate juice is pasteurized so what nutrients were destroyed in that process? Better to eat it fresh?

[@janedougherty3187]

I'm very discouraged. I have been doing IF since June 8th. Not full keto but definitely low carb diet. Absolutely no sugar. Everyone seems to be moving forward with weight loss. I am 65, 5'3," 200 lbs. My labs were ok except LDL was slightly elevated. I'm so discouraged with myself. I really dont understand why.

[@almagarcia5426]

Thank you so helpful. We don’t have to age without a fight.

Why does it need to be a “fight”?

[@doghairdontcarelindaniel7531]

DOG HAIR DONT CARE Lindaniel I’m 53 next Friday, 7.5 months ago had a “widow maker” heart attack 7 blockages, 5 stents still 2 blockages. Then spent 29 days in hospital after that because they gave me warfarin (rat poison) blood thinner that burnt a significant hole in my small intestine a day after I got home from the heart attack Died on my living room floor briefly. I had 11 blood transfusions, 2 plasma transfusions, 2 scopes, 2 blood clots, 6 ambulance rides I only remember 2, 14 ward changes ( every time I got better I got sicker) was on my back with 8 iv’s and massagers on my legs for 20 days. I ran 10km the Wednesday before and worked the night before my heart attack no signs or symptoms. I’m a certified nutritionist and eat proper real wholesome foods not processed. Life IS NOT a “fight” it’s a journey that really depending on your attitude and outlook can be challenging but you grow and learn you can accomplish a lot and enjoy getting older. I’m already walking 10-12km a day, have climbed 3 mountains, lots of hikes, September 19th going to be part of a Guinness world record attempt for “largest virtual 10km run. (My 1 year anniversary of getting out of hospital) oh and I used a walker for 3 weeks until I got strength back in my legs. I want to go skydiving this summer too. Bought a voucher for that already. Every day is a gift

[@6789uiop]

Makes sense. Much of that I do from time to time. Guess I need to get going on the rest and try to be consistent with what I do already.
