Starch Solution Meals for maximum Weight Loss ep 4

[@erinwilliams8797]

I've been vegan for years but my BF and I started eating out more often and I started cooking more adventurous meals high in fat so, over the last year I put on 20 pounds. Most days I wear leggings so it's not as noticeable but, several weeks ago we went out to see a band play and I could not get my size 6 jeans on! I had to jump up and down 1000 times and pull on the pockets and belt loops to get them up. I wore an oversized flannel and kept the button undone all night. I decided on January 2nd I'd go oil free and not eat avocados, nuts, seeds, olives or tofu for 30 days. I haven't felt different nor do I think I look any different but, a couple of nights ago we went to a lakers game and my jeans slid right on and zipped and buttoned with ease!! I was shocked! Thanks for the inspiration! You seem to be the only normal HCLF youtuber that I've come across so far.

And don't forget about High Carb Hannah 😊

[@betzib8021]

You guys are great thanks for tips

[@jenniferwilt8041]

That’s exactly like me ! Size 6 and started cooking with oil. I have gained almost 20 pounds. I’m only 5’ so that’s a lot of weight for someone my height. It’s all in my belly. Im 45 and my weight has never been this high. Leggings and loose shirts and sweaters every day. I’m starting the oil free very slowly. Kiki makes it simple. I have other you tubers I watch as well that make things simple, but I’m enjoying her recipes the most.

[@jaleesah]

I appreciate that you show how to eat healthy in a realistic and affordable way. For many people shopping exclusively at health food stores isn’t practical. I’ve never seen you post a meal I couldn’t finding ingredients for at most grocery stores. It’s very easy to eat vegan and healthy when I copy your recipes. ❤️

[@gracegirl6635]

Jaleesa Henry That’s real talk dear!

[@gelbsucht947]

Really enjoy your vids. You’re living proof that it’s possible to lose weight and stay sane.

[@Veronica-nq9kr]

What I like most about your videos is that they are very simple using commonly found ingredients. I also prefer to just be able to go to my fridge, freezer, or pantry, pick out a few ingredients, and eat! You've helped me so much with sauces and flavors. And now I have cabbage almost every day! I like to cut off a 1 inch wedge of cabbage, add a splash of water, and steam it in the microwave for 1 min. 30 seconds. Then, I chop it up and add it to whatever bowl recipe I'm eating. Thanks for the inspiration. And remember, folks - Kiki always reminds us that this is what works for her and that we can all choose otherwise if we want. Kiki, you are so gracious, and you speak so kindly to the rest of us. Keep up the great work!

[@jeanmontes9185]

I love the simplicity of the recipes you give us!I Thank you so much!

[@annan3904]

Kiki, I never read the post with comments regarding palm oil however the only very real problem with palm oil is its environmental impact due to deforestation (Google for more info). We don't have that brand in Australia but some countries are producing sustainable sourced palm oil ... maybe Knorrs palm oil is sustainably sourced but dont know.

[@VeganGroceryLife]

Hi Kiki, I love these videos! I comment on every one because your way of eating that you learned is the first one where I can have my favorite foods: potatoes and pancakes. And ketchup. And I have been able to keep no fat or maybe like 1% fat for a few days now that I am finally committing to it. I have bought the book Starch Solution already because of your recommendation. Already a vegan but I ate too much fat! Thank you!

[@lynneshrode2927]

Still making my way through your older videos, since I have only recently found you. I have loved every one of them!!! Thanks for all of the great inspiration.

[@leabaxter2603]

You are such an inspiration! Showing how you eat has been the key to learning to eat SIMPLY!! Thank you so very much!

[@Smudgemom2003]

Love your new intro! And I adore your ‘Health > Skinny’ message💗. Try frozen grapes for a nighttime snack!

[@kefirheals7383]

I love your videos. Every time I stray into "what am I going to make for dinner', and look through recipes to see what I can make, I stop and say - NO, Kiki feeds her whole family and does it simply. And I stop, and remind myself that it doesn't have to be complicated. I think I just try too hard to find WFPB recipes that are similar to what we used to eat so I can entice my husband to eat more WFPB. But he'll always want his meat, cheese and milk. I have accepted that, although I am sad about it.

[@elleholisticliving]

I LOVE this series!! I follow much of what you post and lost 4 lbs in the last week!!

[@michelepartridge6339]

I love your videos - i think the starch solution is the way forward I also bought Dr McGregors HOw Not To Diet but it has so much to take in as its very scientific and not straight to the point I found The Starch Solution to be easier to understand xx thank you for being so inspiring xx

[@tjtaylor77]

wow kiki! over 10k followers!!! So happy for you and your channel!!!!! Your true authentic self shines through and I think that's why so many people can relate to you! There are a lot of fake people out there, but not you!!! Keep sharing your message and inspiring others!

awww thank you so much!!

[@justmeemi6350]

Ahh Kiki I am so so glad that your channel is finally blooming 😊 you deserve it!

[@melindawiens1301]

Thank you so much for the inspiring videos. I’m just so excited to try. I’ve needed to loose 15 pounds forever and nothing has worked. This is so healthy and simple! Thank you so much!!!!

[@lauriegockeler8332]

For me the oil being negligible isn't the issue, it's the fact that it's Palm oil. The Orangutans' habitat is destroyed by deforestation to grow the trees that produce palm oil. That is why I would choose not to buy that product. Thank you for your channel. You have been a great inspiration to me.

[@megannjohnson9459]

I second that!

[@helencollins7067]

@@megannjohnson9459 me too.

[@toriwori6308]

AFTER KETO REHAB the product has to say sustainable palm oil, if it doesn’t it’s the shit kind

[@Johnny4ME2U]

Better take those avocado's back to the store then, same thing deforestation.

[@cameronheinz3659]

Laurie Gockeler there are sustainable growers that basically grow palm for the use of palm oil on food and cosmetics. The packaging will have a particular type of certificated label on it.

[@user-yr5px3cs3g]

My mama just shared your channel with me. She has been trying out some of your recipes and I am so excited to try them as well! Thank you!

[@lindaberardi8307]

You are still the best example that I’ve found to follow. You make things simple and easy to understand. I Like that you don’t count calories or stress about eating. Thank you!!

[@melanieg284]

Love your videos! Your no-nonsense, nothing fancy approach to plant-based eating helps the masses so much! I am tired of having to follow recipes to a "T" and having a long long list of ingredients! I just love how simple and doable all of your cooking is...you make it so possible for us to be efficient in the kitchen! By the way, it looks like you live in Colorado, where I live, with the mountains and ridges! I have lived her for 5 years and just love it!!

[@karenjean8296]

Love your videos and just wanted you to know that they so inspired me that I am on week 3 of doing the Starch Solution. I am 2 1/2 weeks in and at the 2 week point I lost a total of 8 lbs already. I have many more pounds to lose, but I am really loving eating this way and have shared your channel with a friend who has already lost weight also in her first week and bought the book also. Thanks so much for doing the videos. I really enjoy them and they do make a difference. I love that you are willing to share your story and your photos. It really has inspired me that I can be successful too. It definitely gave me hope! Thanks so much!

[@AlyssaAllDayVlogs]

I just love hearing you say tomate frito hahaha

[@kaybee6372]

A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon your KZbin channel, and I’m hooked! You inspired me to order The Starch Solution, and I feel great!!! I do occasionally have a pastry and fish, but I’ve cut out all red meat and poultry. Keep the videos coming!

[@RL11111]

Love your videos. Love your recipes. Love your attitude. I have a similar body structure as yours and struggle with some of the same things that you have struggled with in your journey. You have been such an inspiration for me to continue this journey. I’m down 20 pounds and have 20 more to go. The first 20 were filled with anxiety and stress and overthinking and over complicating it. This next 20 are going a lot smoother I’m happier stress-free and I’m loving this lifestyle. And I feel great! It has been a huge difference focusing on health well-being and happiness versus the skinny.Thank you for being such an inspiration and thank you for the reminders to keep it simple. Appreciate you

[@kaitingyu6164]

I love how you look without makeup. Kiki you don’t need makeup to look gorgeous. And I just read your updated comment on palm oil. So glad you’ve gotten yourself educated on this issue and decided to switch product. I am so impressed with your commitment to a cruelty-free lifestyle.

[@MJ-ib7iq]

You have given me so much hope, I’m a night snacker and have a large appetite. I’m prepping today to start the plant based journey tomorrow.Not focusing on being skinny,counting calories or macros is the best advice anyone can hear. Thank you! (You look great btw)

[@melaniej.roberts206]

Glad to see you back. The main issue that I had with the Knorr product is the incredible amount of sodium. Knowing it has palm oil, well that is harvested from palm trees which has destroyed the habitats of orangutans. So if that makes me a "level 1000" vegan so be it.

[@ruthbiafora5443]

You are calm, beautiful, smart!! Thank you 🙏🏻

Hi Kiki, Out of the many videos and books that I've search for weight loss and healthy eating, yours, is by far the best and informative. I subscribed to your KZbin, Facebook, and Instagram. Thank you for helping me. Keep up the excellent work.

[@mrscliquot]

Thank you so much for your videos! I started trying vegan a few years ago and was trying to make too many complicated meals and gave up. You inspired me to do the simple recipes and everything you make is delish and easy!!! Im back on track with plant based again now and hope to lose 70 lbs. I do struggle with getting husband on board yet and my two toddler grandsons that Im raising!

[@mrtaco6286]

I’m so happy I found your page. About 2 years ago I tried going vegan-ish for 9 months and lost 20 lbs. I was doing this without even realizing the starch solutions was a thing. Unfortunately I picked up bad bad habits and started eating meat again and gain back weight. I’m ordering this book and using your recipes for for help. Thank you!!!

Thanks for another FAB video! And for always ending it with such empowering words and messages of hope and health. xo!

[@LadiesofPurposeTV]

So glad I found your channel, loving all your videos Kiki💐. Thanks for sharing all that you’ve learned & inspiring me on my journey to better health. I’ve been following you a couple weeks now and keep coming back for more. Just got the SS book in mail yesterday. For some reason I kept thinking a lot dropping them meat for the last few months and finally thinking to give it a chance & see what happens to my health. I have been dairy & gluten & sugar free for 3 months now and only have lost a few pounds😩. However I don’t have anxiety, panic attacks anymore & im feeling great! I’ve been eating whole 30/Paleo. Now sliding into dropping meats & fats. Loving your videos & how real you are! You’re such a beautiful inspiration! Thank you so much!!! You give me hope that maybe I can finally shed this 80-100 pounds. I’ve done keto and stayed low carb high fat so long eating more starches is scary. Lol.

[@theresajurrus6307]

Good snacks. Better than me I end up being bad and have put some weight back on. I was raw vegan for years then went plant based and have gained some back. And I don’t feel as well. Why I sabotage is beyond bad. Don’t know what to do other than do it. I am struggling. Grr. You are such a doll. I am loving your videos. You have great ideas.

Hi Kiki....I 💕your channel. My husband and I went vegan July 5th 2019. My daughters husband developed a heart issue. He went vegan and Has not had meat in 17 months. He initially lost 50 lbs. I lost 13 lbs, my husband about the same. To get to the point, I became dissolutioned because I was hungry all the time. Little by little I have added chicken and fish 2 times a week and a lot of processed vegan food to our diet. I am ordering the starch solution book. I really think we can stick to it and be satisfied. Thanks for all your videos, I know it is hard work. 🤗

[@rogle25]

My go-to powdered vegetable seasoning is Vegeta in a bright blue bag or canister. I don’t know if it’s well-known to most Americans but is hugely popular in Eastern Europe. When I transitioned to plant-based eating I was happy to realize it’s vegan. It’s oil-free but does have msg if that’s something you’re concerned about. I’ve been seeing it more and more at my local grocery stores (Southern California) instead of just sourcing it at European grocery shops.

[@scotgirl4703]

Hi Kiki, this has to be one of your best videos yet! Totally agree about the veg stock, we don't get the knorr selects in the UK but I use Massel which is very similar, and as Dr mcdougall, Dr lisle etc say we should not sweat the small stuff! Ps re the make up video, both products and application please!
