What I eat on a busy weekend / Starch Solution & how I navigate a BBQ

[@melodyfoster5097]

Genius…just made strawberry ice cream with beans! The bomb! Keep those wonderful meal ideas coming. You Rock!!!!

This week I was mostly WFPB thanks to watching your channel. I felt great, I loved my meals, and my digestion was wonderful. One night I decided to “treat” myself to cheese and crackers and it wasn’t a treat at all. 😮 I actually preferred the mashed potatoes with steamed (frozen) Brussel sprouts with a last minute “cheese” sauce that I made with soy milk that I’d had the last two nights. It’s like my programmed habitual self overrides my present happy new eating self. This way of eating is so bloody satisfying!! I never in a million years would have imagined that I would love the taste of Brussel sprouts. Mashed potatoes were my nemesis. I hated them. I honestly could not understand how anyone would go out for a meal and ask for mashed potatoes as a side. Now I’m in the shops looking for the best deal on a two kilo bag of potatoes so I can go home and gorge myself on mash with soy milk and salt and pepper. 😂😂😂

Ami, I so can relate to not registering I am no longer hungry when I am eating something I adore! And the problem is, I really like almost everything I make . . . Even when it is a simple plate of steamed broccoli and a potato. Thank you for your great tips, recipes and posting!

[@noramaddock4165]

So glad you tried and liked the hot water, Amy! I eat potatoes daily. Love them as a starch staple. They are great for tucking into a purse as an emergency snack/meal-ha! I absolutely love making the orange sweet potatoes in the microwave and then freezing them for days when I don’t have any other food around or when I just want a quick meal. I love freezing a bunch before we go on vacation so that we have food prepared when we get home and the rest of our fridge is empty. They thaw beautifully and actually taste amazing partially frozen too. Super creamy. I have a video about it on my channel.

❤❤❤Oohh I love the little clip of your wonderful family together at the table. Such a nice moment with James and kids❤❤❤ 27:10

[@elsieann2424]

I’ve been loving water with a small splash of apple cider vinegar. Give it a try Ami. Bet you find it refreshing like I do.

[@theresajurrus6307]

Thank you Amy. Great video. First thing I do when I get going is look for you and your beautiful family. The kids are a hoot and I love seeing James as well. Love you guys.

I love ❤️ porridge. Can have it anytime of day. Sometimes I can’t be bothered to make a complicated lunch so I’ll enjoy some oats with fruit. I love ❤️ to add flax seeds or chia seeds. They’re so good you. That chocolate pudding looks delicious 😋. I love how you make simple food look so good. Xxxx

[@kittybeck151]

I had to watch this like two times to take notes! :O

[@pattitrevino324]

I love your kids...(you too). They make me laugh always. Abe sticking his tongue out at the camera in the beginning and Romy following suit. Too funny!

[@cab26]

Totally agree, it’s about adding not taking away. Xx

[@judyg2889]

I really appreciated your advice today and I love that you have your children eating healthy with you. You have inspired me to continue making changes, not to start by being perfect👍

[@SandraGiffin]

Put some cauliflower in our gravy before you whiz it up in the blender. It makes it really creamy. Cauliflower is a great way to make things creamy. You can also add cauliflower to your potatoes before you mash them to reduce calorie density.

[@Lola-Yo]

I just remembered, on the barbecue, in a mesh cage, firm tofu cubes, dipped in soy sauce, sprinkled with Cajun spice is yummy!

[@sharongenco3716]

I love making quick cookie type things. I mash a banana and mix in some peanut butter and flax with a tiny pinch of sea salt and put little blobs on wax paper in the freezer. I pop them into a container and have a sweet treat ready when I want it!

[@CastledarkDweller27]

Gonna try that!!😮😊

[@judyhurley9261]

Genius!

[@mandyc1280]

I never thought of adding beans to my oats. I love blended oats but I really like the combination you put together. I made it this morning with white beans and it is so yummy! Thank you!

[@Lola-Yo]

Yes, I love the flavour of milled flax and chia seeds, sprinkled on anything.

[@joelle3135]

Baked potatoes warmed in foil on the bbq, also skewers of veggies to roast, yummy! We saw a family cooking asparagus on the bbq on the beach and it looked amazing, I’m going to try it at some point x

[@rohannawildon9729]

Lookinh so Lean😍 and healthy! Love that blue shirt on youuuu! And your dress! Love!!! Hmmm making me want all the oats haha

[@jenniferg1188]

Jackfruit ideas would be epic ami please x thankyou for all that you do 👌🫶🙌👊

[@paulaanderson8894]

Thanks Ami for another great video. I always look forward to all your videos. ❤

[@stephaniefortney5851]

Your recipes and advice are always spot on. Just tried the slushie drink and it was AMAZING! Perfect to beat the heat!

[@debbiepalmer1094]

I make a smoothie bowl with ginger and a chunk of turmeric, black pepper berries and a banana and the ginger makes it feel so wholesome and satisfying especially with some granola on the top. So yum!

[@sherri.]

I appreciate all your great tips and advice. It’s amazing that I no longer even want the fast food, restaurant food, or processed snacks anymore. I love whole food desserts now! 😊💚

[@prairiecherie5743]

You give such good real life tips. ❤❤❤

[@babycakes8434]

In US the garlic salt contains plenty of salt and barely any garlic, so I started to buy garlic powder and salt separately. This way I can put loads of garlic and little bit of salt. Omg Krakus sauerkraut in England. Interesting to see it. I am not a fan of sauerkraut, even though we had it in our home. It makes my yeast infection flare ups 10x worse. I only like it and can tolerate it cooked in a bigos. I make it as a vegan version.

[@magalissantiago2817]

Love your food, family and that blue top.

[@Spudley_ann]

A note for why you limit fruit on the starch solution is because for some people it raises their cholesterol levels, and it can affect their blood pressure because of it as well, so it’s just something to keep in mind and something Dr. McDougall really likes to make people aware of while they’re on the program, especially coming from pre-existing medical conditions. You got to be wary of that stuff.

[@CastledarkDweller27]

whaaaat? fruit raises cholesterol???? and bp????

[@Spudley_ann]

@@CastledarkDweller27 yea, it’s crazy, but it does. Idk all the details, but dr John mcdougall goes over that in some of his books and videos. Coffee also messes with chol and bp. It’s wild. Many people don’t know their daily habits can worsen their health :(

[@Spudley_ann]

@@CastledarkDweller27 my cousin said once, why would they feed us things that could kill us.. and I looked at her sadly… money. Money makes people do foolish things, and in huge corporations. They just simply don’t care. Think about all the healthy brands that sold out to big brands, and now those products are SHIAT and people don’t even know cuz many (including me sometimes) don’t know they switch and don’t know the recipes have changed… been altered. It’s gross. The world we live in now, it could be amazing, but they choose to poison us instead for profit.

[@50aries]

Yay to the cookies😍

[@celestel8186]

You inspire me so much!

[@sharongenco3716]

Yup, put flax in everything!

[@kateperry7639]

The problem I have is undereating and never getting full after a lifetime of trying to diet and then ending up so hungry I make poor food choices , I've been trying to put more good stuff on my plate and eating till full this past week or so

[@eklektikatt1295]

Yes to the frozen sweetcorn 😅

[@racheltrevinoortiz529]

Bamboo shoots? I purchased some but haven't had time to make them. Any ideas?

[@tea7030]

Do you take any supplements like B1, B3, B6, B12, Iodine, choline, selenium etc?

[@frautay]

16:04 that is this veggie medley? 😍

[@brittanysuppes]

I'm a new subscriber, what are the rules for your diet? ❤😊 Love this video hahah

[@annavsart9769]

I add cauliflower rice to my oatmeal. You can't taste it and I sneek in my veggies!

[@thespiritualistoslo]

I love the flavour of flax 🙂

[@sarahyoung8123]

Do you have a recipe for your mashed potatoes? ❤

[@kateperry7639]

I've put chickpeas in our smoothies this morning , nobody complained

[@tea7030]

A tablespoon of flax is all you need. Same for cinnamon. Too much can be problematic.

[@Mindy-Joy]

Was your husband vegan when you met him?

[@snowygirl3171]

Where can I find your recipes? You go too fast for me 😂😂😂
