How I Lost 70lbs On A Plant Based Diet // The Starch Solution

[@karenk.3613]

I did the stupid diets,yoyo diets,restricting for 30 YEARS!!! When I found the Starch Solution I thought what the heck,I'll try it for a month and see. I was like 57 or 58 at the time. The weight melted off me, I ended up losing 52 lbs. and have kept if off til present day and have NEVER in that time counted calories.What fREEDOM! I have been eating like this for going on 8 yrs. I am now 66 and have NO problem maintaining my weight.Kiki channels like yours and Hannah's, and Plant Based Storm are wonderful and freeing. Thank you for what you do. It is very important. Cheers and Happy New year to you.

[@norak5767]

I just turned 64! I will have to check out Plant based storm! Thanks! I've been eating whole food plant based since July 2017. I'm 5ft 5 inches and weigh between 115 in Summer and up to120 in winter.

[@natashajohnson8238]

That's awesome Karen. Your story is inspiring.

[@PlantifulKiki]

thats amazing!!!! The starch solution is sooo freeing!!! Thank you for your kind words!

[@staceycurtin2277]

Karen, that is great to hear! I've lost 25 lbs. on calorie restriction the past 6 months but honestly am really tired of counting calories. It's good to see a mature woman has followed this and been successful not counting calories. I'll give it a go...although I am a bit nervous gaining if not counting? Good for you!:)

[@silviahernandez8949]

Thats amazing👏👏👏👏

[@HighwaytoHealthy]

I started off with keto and paleo too. Now I am on the Starch Solution I am down 90 pounds with still a lot to go, but I am so excited to get there!!! I also got off blood pressure medicine and no longer have anxiety, and GERD!!This way of eating is amazing and I love it so much! I will never look back! Thank you so much for this video!

Thank you for your post. I am 57-58 and have struggled with my weight.

[@krist10elle]

I went vegetarian a little over a year ago and haven't looked back but I was having a hard time transitioning to fully plant based. I found your channel in December and quickly devoured all of your content. I had never heard of the Starch Solution but I've since bought the book (as well as The McDougall Quick & Easy Cookbook and Plantifully Lean) and decided to dive in for the new year. It's only the second week of the new year but I'm still going strong. I REALLY want to think you for making this way of life doable. For a full time working remotely mom of a 1 and 3 year old (AT HOME), all of the other vegan channels I saw were just too time consuming and complicated for me to implement. I relate to the "lazy/efficient" debate so much. Thank you so much for your content.

[@lauralvegan2835]

I’ve watched every one of your videos (some more than once) and revisiting your journey with us is so helpful. I did Orangetheory for almost 6 years until 1.5 years ago when I injured my knee. While I did love it, it was tough on my joints (I’m 56) and so that’s why I’m committed first and foremost to conquering my food, otherwise, I’m just a hamster on a wheel. I’m part of the Eat More Weigh Less community and I know I’ll get it together. I actually eat fairly healthy but not enough for a 180lb+ woman in menopause. 2021 is for me. Mentally. Physically. I’m determined to get it together so I can enjoy my life. I’m so grateful to you and Hannah. I know my journey may be slow but I’m okay with that and prepared for that. Doing the right thing is what really matters.❤️

[@claudiagarcia8311]

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing ur story. I have recently read the same books and started my journey on this new life style change. I lost 20lbs the first month and only lost 5lbs the second.. I have actually stopped but im still overweight.. I was just looking a different videos and came across urs! Thank you so much!!! Seriously I knew I was not eating enough veggies as before but u just confirmed it.. I dont ever leave comments lol but I just had to say thank you! Super motivated to get back on track again.

[@jennybamford5957]

I seriously cried a few times throughout this because I know it is all true. I was skeptical, but excited about trying this lifestyle and it is amazing! I lowered my cholesterol 38pts in 3 months, lost 20 lbs so far and best of all I came off all of my sleep meds. I also experience seasonal depression and have had so much success with keeping my mood stable throughout the winter so far :) You were a huge inspiration for this! When I found your channel i didnt really have any intention of going plant based, but after seeing all the benefits and how simple it is, my husband and I hopped on board and haven't looked back!

[@brendaghuerta4430]

Jenny Bamford omg ! I have everything you mentioned 😟 I just don’t know where to start , also I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 2 months ago 😢

[@jennybamford5957]

@@brendaghuerta4430 honestly I just did everything kiki said to do and followed the starch solution. I've definitely had treats here and there, but mostly I stick to the 50/50 plate and keep it simple with starches and veggies. I start with oatmeal with berries for breakfast, lunch is usually potatoes or rice with steamed veg. Dinners are usually soups or stir fry. Mostly I just stick to the whole food plant based foods and enjoy them a lot. I would also recommend heading over to the mommy vegan's channel. She does the same thing and with super simple recipes too :)

[@joycooper4091]

I just started on this journey when I found you lovely ladies in November. I had been vegetarian for quite a while then vegan more recently, but didn't lose ANY weight and actually gained. I completely switched the way I was eating thanks you and Hannah. I don't get on scales, but my clothes are fitting better, I actually have gone down a size since Thanksgiving and looooove what I'm eating now. My joints don't hurt in the morning when I get out of bed either! Bonus! Thank you for spreading the love!

[@06katydee]

So glad to read your comment Joy. Years and years of yo-yo dieting, I went vegan a little over a year ago and it started great, but over 2020 to now I have gained 25 pounds on a vegan diet. I only found SS two days ago, so just started this morning. Even on a vegan diet I have tried very hard to avoid carbs, so reading this book has really opened my eyes and I am looking forward to the possibilities of regaining my health.

[@plantbasedmanda2597]

Your story almost made me cry! We go and try all these these diets and they don’t stick and get discouraged once again. You are my main inspiration on eating this way 😊 I’ve been doing the starch solution since October 2020 and I have lost a lot of fat. It’s crazy. I hope to continue this for a lifetime. Your videos are the best! Thanks for everything!

[@kellygladys3657]

Great video Kiki! I love how you talk about coming back to the 50/50 for most of your meals as a key to your success for maintaining your weight. I recently watched a health doc on Prime called Beyond Weight Loss (not WFPB, but still interesting); in it they said “don’t let a lapse become a relapse.” I think this is huge for long term success. It’s not about needing to be perfect, it’s about coming back to what works. Thanks for being such a positive voice and inspiration!!!

[@gretchenburton7184]

The 50/50 plate is helping so much. You are so sweet and caring which is more than appreciated. Thank you. I watch high carb hannah too.

[@sarahshirley1302]

This is very close to my story except my cholesterol and blood pressure is fine. Couldn’t lose the baby weight, even after nursing for 15 months. Pre baby, I was doing paleo and p90x, looked amazing but didn’t feel good at all. I missed beans and potatoes soooooo much. Did weight watchers and atkins in vain after baby, only 5lbs lost. My baby is now 4 and Im FINALLY getting a sense of normalcy again, so after eating 75% plant based for almost a year, I’m ready to go all in. Im 40lbs over weight for my height so hopefully things improve while following SS. Thanks for your videos Kiki.

[@Nina-fh1bg]

Omg! Finally validation. I was on keto and working hard and exercising and lost just a few pounds after a months. I tried every diet known to man. I tried the potato diet for a week and lost 6.8 pounds but potatoes without salt is so restrictive. I also own the Starch Solution but am looking for ways to do it with more flavor. So glad I found your channel. I'm inspired.

[@customtuscany1]

You have inspired me Kiki and I have already lost 6 ponds in 3 weeks! I LOVE to eat lots because I am athletic and need to feed the beast-- see! I was vegan for 3 years before, but eating a lot of rich and processed vegan foods. Instinctually I knew this was bad, but I now understand why---- I needed to cut the fat and thrive on all the wonderful phytonutrients in whole foods! Prepping food and having easy meals ready is the key! I am in love with living this way and am still only way down - thank you for all that you do!

I just love how you and Hannah are so supportive of each other and authentically want everyone to have the same success as you. I am going to read the Starch Solution to understand the science of this way of eating because it is so frustrating when you have Dr. Berg saying the exact opposite with his keto plan on weight loss. But if you can eat potatoes with your Latina blood, then so can I. I will keep u posted and I hope at my age it will work as well as it did for you. Blessings

I am already at a healthy weight and was vegetarian by choice for last 6 years. In fall last year I started research on dr macdougal and watched KZbin on you and high carb Hanna. I did feel at my optimal energy level and had some healthy issues despite being at a healthy weight so I started vegan in October last year since then I lost 6-9 or 10 lbs and go a bit up and down some weeks bc I still incorporate oils at times and do not always stay moderately active as I should but I feel it’s a lifestyle and I’m not rushing to make it happen. I have felt much more energy since going vegan to the point where I can carry my 35 lb daughter a long time I never use to be able to. A lot of my past health issues also improved and I notice the inflation slight swollen thing dairy can cause I have lost I did not even know I had that. Thank you for all your videos they are motivating and you helped me get my energy back after two rough pregnancies and a health scare to where I never knew I will get that energy back!

This community as made me feel supported and accepted. ❤️😊 The recipes are amazing and the course videos are soooooo helpful. Do yourself a favour.. and really commit to this! Jani x

I relate so much to your story, healthy weight in High school, kept off most of it afterwards, but it was a lot of focusing on controlling it, let go during my pregnancy with my first born, then gained 60 pounds during my pregnancy with her. Haven’t lost anything since, and am pregnant again so my midwife is telling me to maintain not gain or lose at the moment, but I’m almost to my due date, and looking at routines I can get into to take off the weight for good, your video seriously resonates with me, and makes me so motivated and hopeful since it sounds like prior to your amazing weight loss, we have had a lot in common weight wise.

Thank you for the kind way you share your story and I'm inspired!

The Starch Solution changed my life. And I heard about it through Kiki!

Hi Kiki. Just watched you on The Exam Room with Chuck Carroll. Subscribed and I’m looking forward to following you. I’ve been plant-based vegan for two years but I like to learn from the community and share what we learn.

Hi Kiki! Just wanted to thank you for posting this honest video. Regarding the plant based documentaries that you and your husband have seen, are there any that you recommend? Thanx in advance!

This resonated with me so much! I had my baby 8.5 months ago and I am still trying to lose my baby weight. Breastfeeding has not been a magic fat burner for me at all. I bought yours and Hannah's new e book and have been doing your 50/50 plate for a month now and it's working! 😊🎉

I remember being so hungry when breastfeeding I’d need to go eat chocolate biscuits in the middle of the night!! Sweet time though 😊😊😊xox

[@kimberlyh5868]

@@mmc1086 Yes absolutely! This is for case for most women as prolactin increases your appetite and suppresses your metabolism so it is already an uphill battle! There are some very lucky women who burn fat like crazy when breastfeeding but they are definitely not the majority and I am not one of them haha! Xx

[@jenmoore8652]

Thanks for all the video links too. Have just watched for more inspiration 🥔🥦🍜🍍

[@amotoAK]

Thanks for keeping us motivated! You rock!

[@martinamnm]

Have just purchased the book, am inspired to give this a go!

[@valsmith5809]

I have a request if you can make a video about your struggles in the beginning of doing the starch solution. For example cravings, were there days where you questioned if this was the right thing to do, ect. Love your videos!

[@lizzzarduh]

Good idea

[@jperron]

Just got the Starch Solution because of you! I feel like you should be getting a cut of these book sales!!

Thanks so much for this video. I have lost more weight than ever with a vegetarian/partly vegan diet. Low Carb only led to maybe 8 lbs loss and then it stopped. Also it led to unbearable cravings and hair loss, weakness, sleep problems. Never again. Meat made me so overweight and stuck to my body in fat. Feeling much better, lighter, hairloss gone. Low fat and high carb is my way to go. Lots of fruit helps me with sugar cravings. Could you do a video on how you improved your self confidence?
