[@LM-fi2kv]

Ooo I didn’t realize that spaghetti squash was a non-starchy veg. I have been on this diet for a week and lost 9 lbs!!🎉😄. UPDATE: I’ve been eating WFPB via Starch Solution for almost 13 weeks and lost 41 lbs! 😄

For anyone looking for an oil free bouillon, the "Better than bouillon" organic vegetable bouillon is oil free. The non organic one is not, so you just have to check the label and ingredients.

[@thecatlady3501]

It’s really flavorful too

[@Sweetpea5767]

I love freezing bananas then blending them with a little vanilla extract, almond milk & maybe cinnamon. Bananas get sweeter after freezing. This makes a yummy banana ice cream or banana shake if you add more almond milk. Yum!

[@lionesslisa8000]

I love your cookbook! All of the women and girls in my family are over weight. So 3 of us is going on this diet. We hope to show the other women that our size is not genetic but based on our food choices. Meat, Meat, and more Meat, lots of fat and of course we drown our sorrows in cake and ice cream. Keep us in prayer, because it's going to take a lot to convince the others that they can let go of years of the SAD diet.

When I remove pomegranate seeds, I do it in a big bowl of water in the sink. When you peel them under water, there is no spray and hardly any mess

[@mmc1086]

Life hack! Thanks xox

[@Sweetpea5767]

I cut them in half, hold the half over a big bowl and hit it with a big spoon. It gets the majority of them out and saves your hands from getting stained.

[@Mezyounl]

The easiest way to empty a pomegranate is like this; Cut the pomegranate horizontally, loosen the skin slightly. Face the cut section into the palm of your hands with your fingers open over a bowl and keep wacking the back with a wooden spoon! All the pomegranate seeds start falling out, no mess and no hassle. I literally don't use any other way now it's so easy!

[@nancykennedy7206]

Kiki! I know that a lot of work goes into videos like these but they are great! So helpful to someone like me who has noooo creativity when it comes to food. Your ideas are simple to pull off but make the food so much more palatable. Thank you for all of your efforts geared toward the millions of us struggling to win this weight battle. You rock pretty girl, you rock.

[@china8981]

Kiki I just wanted to thank you so much for what you do! I’ve been struggling for a long time and came across your channel. I just caught up to all your videos.

Thank you for the inspiration. I’ve been following you for at least two years and value your information. Thanks!

[@windrider5845]

Excellent! I too love simplicity! I wasn’t aware of the need to eat your veggies first!

I picked up your idea to make an entire 9x13 pan full of prepared oat groats. Once cooked and cooled, I cut them into squares in individual serving and freeze them wrapped. I keep six in my refrigerator and freeze the other six for the next week. Works great for me too! Appreciate all your wonderful ideas! You are so right though, quick and easy works for me too!

I have been eating this way for 6 months and have only lost 20lbs. trying to tweak it a bit more because I need to lose at least another 90 to 100lbs.

Hi. I'm not vegan but I still like to have good & simple whole foods meal ideas to incorporate into my low carb, almost Mediterranean way of eating that I've started on recently. Your meals seem kinda more balanced than some of the other plant based/vegan KZbinrs I've seen. You seem to use a wider variety of non starchy & somewhat lower starchy veggies than a lot of the others. Seems like the others eat mostly oats, bananas, potatoes & their cheese sauce almost all the time! Not enough variety & way too much STARCHY starch for me! I need more cruciferous veggies! Nicely done! Thanks for these great, simple meal ideas!🙂
