Why You're Still Fat on the Starch Solution Diet

[@relaxgood512]

People who live in the parts of Sardinia Italy and Ikaria Greece which have the longest lived and healthiest people on the planet eat pasta and use plenty of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. They also eat bread and nuts. I eat 1 ounce of nuts and seeds everyday I eat my homemade whole grain bread everyday and I use organic extra virgin olive oil have been 100% Plant Based for 7 years and never felt better. No fast food and no highly processed food.

Thanks for sharing! 😊💕

Olive oil is a junk food .

[@rubydooby5041]

I love it! I am not fat, I have excess fat on my body and I'm taking care of it😉🖤🥔

[@HealthyEmmie]

Words are powerful, but our bodies are neutral :)

[@lifeontheround]

I really love this phrase too. Saying it out loud made me feel more loving to myself and less pressurising to lose the fat.

[@petrakosutic7904]

Love it! Thank you!

[@childofdestiny2811]

I got very messed up and gained weight on the Starch solution. Your video helped me understand why… The dry starches!!!!!! I’m so grateful for this info and “hungry” to try WFPB again!!!

[@orthohawk1026]

Commercial pasta sauces have added sugar in order to cut the acidity of the tomatoes. But there's a completely natural way to do this without any sugar at all: baking soda. Add a teaspoon or two (dependnig on how much sauce you're making) to the sauce at the final stage and the two will neutralize. Warming: it will bubble and fizz! But that's what happens when you mix an acid and a base (think the "primary school volcanos")

[@HealthyEmmie]

Thank you so much for sharing 😊

[@Roarshark12]

Wonderful video Emmie, thank you! Jeff Novick's calorie density presentation is also soooo on-point here. The idea of reducing a meal's calorie density by replacing half of the plate with non-starchy vegetables, and in general, making substitutions of less calorically dense foods for the higher calorically-dense ones. I really like how you mentioned the sneaky things that creep up on you like oils in tomato sauce, and the caloric density of even McDougall-approved foods like Mary's Gone Crackers.

[@lilyogi9934]

I know all of this information, but still needed to hear all of it again! Thanks so much Emmie 💕

[@HH-xj8nh]

I really like how you threw that glass jar of pasta sauce in the air, caught and snatched it, and tossed it to the other hand. Your skills and tips are awe-some!👏😀

[@catherinebell122]

Love your energy, content, and delivery💐

[@HealthyEmmie]

Thank you so much! 😊💕

AlDI's Simply Nature Marinara Sauce is oil and sugar free too. I just stocked up.

[@HealthyEmmie]

Good to know!

[@EmmaleeAdventures]

I get my oil free spaghetti or marinara sauce from Aldi! And it's organic! (Dirty dozen item)

[@suzq2744]

That is my favorite pasta sauce too but they did not have it this last time I went to Aldi, yesterday. I was so disappointed but hopefully they will have it back soon. Probably just late from all the shipping delays💯

[@twelveofthem]

what's the brand name? It's so hard to find oil free pasta sauce!

[@EmmaleeAdventures]

@@twelveofthem It's just Aldi's store brand. I believe its Simply Nature Organic pasta sauce. 2 flavors--marinara or tomato basil

[@gracehardiman8134]

Thank you so much for this information! I have 12 stubborn pounds that just won't come off....with this info, I am sure to get rid of them!

I just found you,I’m so excited I-think your the one to get me where I want to be thank you x

[@eleanormaidstone]

Hey Emmie! Loved the video. My question is, how can i find balance between eating enough to avoid bingeing, and eating too much to lose fat? If you could answer this question here, or in a video, that would be amazing! :)

[@rorigurl]

Love the detailed examples of calories. Thank you Emmie!

Costco’s canned organic tomato sauce is oil free and no sugar added as well…for all my costco lovers out there! Ingredients are: organic tomato puree, sea salt, citric acid and organic spices.

I never thought about dry vs wet starches. While I do make my own home grown spaghetti sauce, I am addicted to natural peanut butter. I just don't feel full without peanut butter.

[@marysusa6985]

good video and info, but now i want some of those Mary's crackers. lol

Aldi’s has an oil free pasta sauce too!!

[@virginiaabubakr1853]

Fantastic video ! Intelligent, helpful and visually powerful. Thank you for the guidance, encouragement and motivation you offer .

[@suzq2744]

So what about whole wheat or protein pastas? Is it a wet or dry starch, because they start out dry but then you cook the water back into them

[@darabethany5309]

I eat them but I find them to be calorically dense when I'm calorie counting which is bad for weightloss. But they taste great and are healthy so you could eat half a plate of pasta with half a plate of vegetables to avoid over eating on the pasta. When I cook pasta I measure it and I'm always a little sad there isn't seconds but if I make too much I eat the whole pot 😅

[@deborahcouzensVEGAN4animals]

Ah Emmie another fabulous visual lesson from my favourite teacher. Thank you so much for explaining things in sh h a practical manner. Just love watching you ❤

[@laurenvasnelis9028]

The way you break this down is amazing. But I'm stuck on one question. What's your take on arborio rice for making a risotto?

[@HealthyEmmie]

Fine but it’s more refined so if you’re not losing use brown instead👏🏼

[@jackiebennett3762]

Hey Emmie what do you eat for breakfast?

[@savannahbanana2538]

What type of sauce or dressings do your recommend? Everything that I make (and is so good) either has cashews or tahini in it.

[@JH-tz5hc]

You can try swapping the nuts for white beans or maybe do 1/2 & 1/2

[@HealthyEmmie]

Yes to the white beans!

[@justmeemi6350]

And some soy yogurt ( some only contain soy beans and bacteria)

[@Florence31]

McDougall isn't a fat free diet. It's low fat. It seems like people forget that often.

[@abundantlyblessed9201]

@@JH-tz5hc that is just about what I do, if I really want to cut back I go a bit more on the beans.

[@sherriw7673]

yes...the reason why I never buy those Mary crackers...way too tempting @ 10 pm...

Are you a minimalist?

[@adriafrenzel5631]

I was told Trader Joe’s is no longer carrying their fat free spaghetti sauce. At least that is what I was told in Newton, MA!

Do you have any suggestions on how to get hannah sweet potato if not sold in my area?

[@kellycavanaugh1899]

Great video, thank you! Im new to this way of eating...I tried keto and lost nothing but now I know why! My question is this, I thought our bodies needed healthy fats so if we just eat starches and fruits and vegetables where does the healthy fat come from? Or do we not need it at all?

[@jenmatt1923]

I get healthy fats mostly from whole foods like nuts, seeds, avocados, etc. For health sake, we need to focus not only on the calorie intake but the nutritional value of foods and what our body needs. And we do need healthy fats!

[@ritalawson7020]

Avocados and nuts have healthy fats

[@Mariana-yz2ww]

Are plantains a weight loss food? When boiled or baked?

[@HealthyEmmie]
