I love your approach. It's realistic and sensible. The extreme of not a drop of oil ever is limiting, stressful, and takes the joy out of eating.

All was good for me until the onset of menopause - it threw a big wrench into my weight concerns(which I never had a problem with and ate whole plant food no oil). I realized I had to keep my feeding window small (6 hours), stop eating about 4 plus hours before bed and really stay in a calorie deficit to see any weight loss. Also had to cut out any alcohol.

I experienced severe anxiety when I was strict on the starch solution. I know my body needs healthy fat. I'm still wfpb but I now eat an avocado every day and I use olive oil and coconut oil in moderate amounts. I also consume almonds and cashews and it has not hindered my weight loss. I also use celtic sea salt instead of regular salt. I did find that if I ate a lot of rice and flour products, I wouldn't lose weight and I would feel sluggish. Thank you for being transparent about your journey.

When I tried the McDougal diet I did lose 6 lbs in one month. However, after a few months of eating like that, I couldn’t balance the blood sugar from all the rice and noodles and even fruit. I broke out all over my face, back and chest with dozens of tiny white pimples. Never in my life did I experience that on any diet. I would honestly suggest limiting the rice and pasta and fruit to small amounts.

I am 99% oil-free but I live alone and I'm not going to make hummus (which can't be frozen) or falafel (too time-consuming for me at the moment), I already spend quite a bit of time batch-cooking, etc.. So I do buy these foods from the supermarket from time to time (or if I feel virtuous simple have the beans/chickpeas from a can). I can't be completely salt-free either but I still eat the same quantities of potatoes and other foods that I would eat without salt, I do not overeat, and adding a bit of salt or crushed veggie stock on my soup/casserole at table just makes the food so much tastier. I am working on reducing the salt content and also the sweeteners I put in my coffees, I have halved the quantities but I don't think I can eliminate these altogether. I'm very slim and have maintained my happy weight for 4 years now.

Love how you mention these days that you’re in your 40’s. Most women (especially during perimenopause) gain weight as we hit these milestones. I see videos of 20 something’s out there eating nothing but plants and claim how easy it is to lose weight. I don’t know about you but my body, bone, muscle, skin EVERYTHING structure has changed drastically in my mid 40s from my mid 20s. I have different needs and challenges that just weren’t thought of 20 years ago. You keep it clean, simple and most of all REALISTIC!

Thanks for sharing Kiki. As someone who has not fully transitioned to WFPB, I truly appreciate all the help and advice that you share. I have actually watched this 2x already. We appreciate your honesty and sincerity. Also, I haven't used "table salt" in probably 10 or 12 years. But..I do use "Real Salt" that is mined here in the US and also i use pink Himalayan salt. They contain the minerals that we need and haven't been stripped like the box salt from the grocery stores (didn't want to mention their brands) that have been known to cause High BP. There's definitely a difference 🥰

I sweetened them with date sugar or maple syrup and they are delicious! No fat in them when using plat-based milk, and the glucomannan is a wonderful fiber, so it's good for us as well as filling.

If the handful of nuts or raisins or some chocolate make you happy just keep the ritual. Instead see where else you can cut to balance it out- for example just starting your breakfast later so you have a good fast period and then just eating an equivalent amount of calories less for dinner or lunch and you will have a more happy balance.

WONDERFUL advise!!! I am hugely agreeing! Esp about the oil point and activity needing to be a part of not just the weight loss but the body shaping many people assume come with weight loss. I use very minimal EVOO bc it helps my hair and skin stay healthy and its healthy in smaller quanities, but mainly bc when I was paranoid/scared of having any made my relationship to food so UNhealthy, and I "fell off the wagon" and would hate myself. So allowing it minimally as part of a calorie-deficit focused count is a big tip Im applauding!!!
