Vlog: We're Doing A "Mary’s Mini" McDougall Diet (With Potatoes) + Life Updates

Check out our blog post for more information on Mary's Mini: bit.ly/KrockMM
Our friend Martin The Great Potato Mage is doing the Mary's Mini along with us and posting daily vlog updates! Check him out: / martinthegreatpotatomage
The past couple of weeks have been really busy for us, and we have gotten out of our normal routine. Don't worry - we are still going strong on our whole food, plant-based diet - but we haven't been able to meal prep as much and plan every meal out like we usually do. Life got in the way. We wanted a way to get back on track and we've been wanting to try a "Mary's Mini" for a while, so we decided now would be a great time!
Mary’s Mini is a diet developed by Mary McDougall and her husband Dr. John McDougall. Official called the “Mary’s Mini-McDougall Diet,” they created it as a temporary diet to help people lose weight quickly and easily. Unlike their other programs, Mary’s Mini isn’t really meant to be a lifestyle change - it is just a temporary diet. They suggest you do it for ten days, but also say you can keep doing it longer if desired. It can be used to kick-start a new lifestyle or give your progress an extra boost.

You two (and the fur kids) are just so adorable! Betcha Dr. McDougall will feature you in his Star McDougallers in the future! I've been eating that way (99%) for decades, and still haven't run out of new ideas that make me smile, salivate, and feel satiated. xo

[@wishingb5859]

The problem is that they started with potatoes, moved to Eat To Live Dr. Fuhrman and are doing more moments of McDougall. Honestly, I cycle throughout the year between those. In the Summer, when all the organic produce is available, it is so easy to do Nutritarian and in the Fall, when the root vegetables are abundant, I switch to way more potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Potatoes naturally raise one's serotonin levels - I am a certified Plant-based doc /nutritionist - I consult from South Africa. Potatoes always feature on my clients menus - particularly "normal" savoury potatoes - they have a great serotonin release. Sweet potatoes are also good - but not as high for serotonin. It's a good idea to eat potatoes (any starch) with neutral salads /veggies in order to slow down the release of the starch in the blood/body. Best not to add fruit or high protein food to a potato/starch meal. Jessica - potatoes will reduce depression/anxiety if ever you have it again. Potatoes are a wonder food. I love your channel! Bev Wium. 🌱🍃🍀🌱

Bev Plant-Based Docs Bev Wium PCRM Really Do you know about depression? Poor wording

[@bevwiumplant-baseddoc4055]

@@jodigould765 yes Jodi - I know about depression. I have a psychology degree and have helped many clients relieve /eliminate depression by using food as their "medicine"; and I give guidance on how to change life habits and eating habits; and guidance to transition to this better way of living. This is why I love "Krocks in the kitchen" - Jessica and Brian are real life people with real life tips and recipes. 🍀

[@jodigould765]

Bev Plant-Based Docs Bev Wium PCRM you don’t lose depression you learn better coping skills and/or medications that assist in decreasing the symptoms. Your degree is admirable, so you must have at minimal “reviewed” there is no cure for depression

[@deboraht5079]

Jodi Gould -- Depression has a neurotransmitter component. When a person has it sometimes the serotonin (feel good) levels can be low. Potatoes can raise serotonin levels. I always feel a sense of well being after I have potatoes, so I tend to think that there is something to that.

[@bevwiumplant-baseddoc4055]

@@jodigould765 In many cases, depression CAN disappear. What we eat plays a huge role in our emotional and psychological state - adults and kids alike (eg ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar, pms). Substances like Wheat, Alcohol and refined Sugar can play havoc with many peoples emotional and psychological states. Some of us are more reactive/addicted, particularly to these 3 substances, than others are reactive /addicted. Anyone reading this: as far as medication goes, it is BEST to CONSULT a HEALTH PRACTITIONER to ascertain the best meds to be on, if needed, and the best way to wean off medication, if advisable. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe - and often mimic depressive/psychotic states. I, Bev Wium, have noticed with myself and clients, that withdrawal symptoms from Sugar, Alcohol and Wheat can be severe too. Sometimes the withdrawal symptom (eg irritability) can even appear within half an hour of consuming ones "fix" eg a chocolate/a slice of bread/glass of wine, and if one does not get another "fix" the irritability can worsen.

I’m on day 6 of a Mary’s Mini and...pretty good so far. You guys have made it much better than it could have been. Making some of your recipes omitting forbidden items and that helps. There really is a lot you can do, as long as you plan, plan plan, and cook ahead. Salads are great with just nutritional yeast. I am going for 10 days (maybe 14) and think I will survive.

[@victoriamuir8988]

I went gluten free, plant based, on October 1, 2018 because I also had read that gut health is key to emotional stability. My depression and anxiety have improved immensely but when I’m forced to eat otherwise, because of things I can’t control, I pay for it emotionally. Right now my anxiety level is very high but because I’m aware of the cause it’s easier to manage. When dealing with these issues it’s good to remember the acronym HALT. Never get too hungry, too angry, too lonely or too tired. If you were on fire you would remember to STOP, DROP and ROLL. When you are hit with depression or anxiety remember to stop, drop and ...........! Fill in the blank. Whatever it takes to put out the emotional flames. Most of the time it only takes a few days of eating correctly. Thanks for sharing.

[@coreenwalker9286]

Love to see you both taking some time with the pups outside in the park. The Potato Reset is just like the Mary's Mini, and I did a 5-day last week and loved it. Lost 3.5 pounds and have been thinking to do a longer one in August. I feel like if you'd given advance notice, at least 25% of your subscribers would have joined in with you at the same time. :)

Excited to hear you guys are doing Mary's Mini. I just finished reading The Potato Hack. I know a lot more about the potato diet, Mary's Mini, and all the other approached that have been talked about, but no-one has really gone into depth about. So, with that knowledge, I am building up my courage to do this for myself. I'm inspired by you guys and all the KZbinrs that have posted their journey. Thank you for inspiring people.

[@stevekatona5527]

I had not looked at anything as recent as this year on your channel. It is way more than remarkable to see you on 7/24/19 compared to the morbidly obese people that did the original potato diet posts on Krocks in The Kitchen. The transformation you both have accomplished is just amazing. Your intelligence and sound judgment is an inspiration and a model for anyone trying to change their bodies and their lives. Kudos to The Krocks.

Glad the potato thing works for you guys and that it's only for 10 days. You can make a ton of different things with potato but without the butter, cheese or oil it must get challenging.

You inspired me to get back on the McDougall lifestyle a couple of months ago. I'd been doing OMAD for almost two years, but I found that I was getting out of control with my actual food choices for that one meal. Going back to a WFPB diet has been a breeze and I love being able to eat throughout the day rather than just once. The weight started dropping off when I felt certain that it would not. Kinda magical, lol! You two have such wonderful outlooks that it makes my day to watch one of your videos. Oh, and I love the one about the chili cheese popcorn! I haven't done it yet, but I certainly will because popcorn is one of my favs. I just need to get an air-popper and I'll be all set! Thanks for all you do;-)

Hi you guys! As always, LOVE the videos. So thank you. Jessica, I want to first say thank you for sharing a little about your emotional ups and downs. I, too, deal with both anxiety and depression. It's well managed, something I feel incredibly grateful for, but goodness it's not always easy. I just wanted to share something that lately has helped with me, and that you might find helpful too. The celery juice challenge. Sounds kinda crazy, but I'm into it. I feel like it helps with my mood and prevents blood sugar drops. Anyway, that's all. Hope all is well!

[@shannanhough8179]

To clarify, it's just 16 oz of freshly juiced organic celery on an empty stomach. Wait 20 min to eat, but then resume your normal diet. So, you aren't depriving yourself of food. You're just adding in the juice.

Jessica do you feel like your depression and anxiety has gotten better since you went plant-based? I have been reading a lot of articles about gut health and how our gut biome really is connected with our emotional well-being. It's really interesting stuff. As usual awesome video :)

Another great video! I really like how you both keep moving forward in your eating journey and are not afraid to try new things/ways of eating while staying true to yourselves. I am working with Gundry's Diet Evolution and am both challenged by it and love the whole food life change. And, of course, Peef is adorable! Yet another reason to watch. 😊

I'm good sticking to my eating plan unless I'm travelling. Travel always throws a spanner in the works.
