(Abby typing) I like Kathy's presentations of different ways and substitutions because I don't want to join a cooking cult just learn a basic way to follow that allows for creativity and special nutritional needs. I think that the Starch Solution is that way.
(Abby typing) When you make stews, soups, and other things that you put on top of a starch helps get around the idea of one thing being the focus of the meal. The irony to me is that other cuisines are more "democratic" in their meals- many sides in Asian and Indian meals- lots of sides in addition to larger amount of starch.
Thanks to you both! Miss Cheryl!!
Kathy and Stacy, I agree with all that you two are talking about. I’m always in the kitchen eating this way, but I’m also retired and have the time to cook from scratch. Love my instant pots too. Unfortunately not only are there tons of processed high calorie food available everywhere, young families of today don’t have time to even prepare or desire to plan their food. Both parents working, kids in two or more after school activities with most nights and weekends at the dinner hour. I see parents just picking up a pizza or bringing snacks to eat. They barely get home for time for bed and start over the next day.
The kids are totally dependent on snack foods and need to eat all day for they are hungry always.
No one sees the trap they have been drawn into and can’t see how they can maintain this lifestyle and now we ask them to cook and plan. They have no time. The structure of todays world hinder eating healthy.
Kathy, Cheryl, Stacy, & Lisa need a vegan talk show 😂 I just love you all so much
Stacy said that the drive to pee, breathe, sleep, and eat are the same thing. I have been so confused in the past about “hunger and fullness cues”. I have heard a lot of teaching about only waiting until you sense physical hunger cues like stomach growling etc. But is hunger also sometimes just a thought of “I really want/need food”, assuming it is whole, unprocessed, low fat etc (ex. Plain steamed potato and vegetable soup)? I get so confused by the conflicting messages about what qualifies as “true hunger”. My kids have eaten a Whole Foods plant based diet since birth and they seem to eat whenever food looks appealing to them (they have free access to only whole, healthy plant food in our home).
I loooove when Stacy is on! I share videos on my YouTube channel about how our family of 4 has been able to able to maintain this way of eating for the past 14 years. Dr. McDougall is so level-headed and his message has been so important to us—keeping it simple is key!!
You guys hit it right on the head. Nothing easier, cheaper or healthier than some potatoes out of a 10 pound bag, a 12 ounce bag of frozen vegetables for around a dollar, and you're good to go! Get yourself a little $25 rice cooker and you can do that as an alternative to the potatoes. My favorite is the potato though, even after carefully following the Starch Solution for 12 years. I love my food!
I’m not afraid, it just has never worked for me, including my first attempt approximately 50 years ago working directly with McDougall.
Love when u said "I'm a Taurus, so you're either mine or you're not" lol
Absolutely great show thanks! Stacy saying don't reach for fruit if you are hungry made so much sense to me, I've always wondered why fruit does nothing to help me when I'm hungry (with the exception of bananas) and she just hit the nail on the head. I'm going to listen to this again to remind myself. xx
