hi, my name is Patricia & I am a RECOVERING processed food addict. I lost 100lbs 😳😋 I have eaten OVER 4500lbs spuds in 6yrs3m1days. High whole starch (for satiety). Before I started this journey 6yrs3mon1days ago, (& maintaining), I was nearly bed bound by illnesses , CFS, IBS & FIBRO, restless legs, HBP, racing heart & mind, depression, etc, the list goes on..& the extra weight, 239 lbs.. When I started this the stomach specialist said to me try and lose 10 lbs & see if your stomach feels any better. At that time I was on 2 different stomach pills & something for constipation. I started moving my arms & legs while laying on the sofa bed.. So I did what he said he was not condescending like some doctors & he said 10 pounds, he didn't say a hundred pounds because that would be very overwhelming. But when I lost that 10 pounds & I started feeling better .I did start taking vitamin D. I started to feel a little energy & I was watching my 600 pound life at the time. It was around that time that I found Chef AJ on #YT & John Pierre. And he said you don't have to do 10000 steps, any movement will do, start where you are. I started getting a little stronger and more energy. I started walking , just taking a few steps around the yard & i kept increasing until I got to this point where I can walk at least 55 minutes at one time and over 8,000 steps at one time. I can work on the woodpile for 1 to 3 hours & that's all standing and moving all the muscles lifting & tugging and pulling and pushing. So all this time following Chef AJ & dr. John McDougall of the starch solution. And that is how I came to get this transformation that I had no idea this would happen to me.i have eaten OVER 4500lbs of potatoes. Plus when I gave up the meat and animal products and highly processed foods my taste buds changed & I began to Crave vegetables like brussel sprouts and fruit. And now if I feel like bingeing I eat Persian cucumbers, cherry tomatoes banana and orange & I do not feel guilty or bloated Actually I never feel bloated from eating anymore, all my stomach problems went away, my bowel problems went away that I had since birth. I got off five of six medications I still do take for low thyroid. Anyway here's me from a size 3x to a size 10. I never lost more than one pound a week like some people do when they do a drastic eating plan change but that's okay I'm a patient woman. I'm 72 & I feel better then I have in many years, well at least from probably 2007 on. Oh yes & I don't need my cane anymore but the osteopath worked on my right hip leg & I no longer need a cane or the grocery store cart to get me around the store. I used to just walk and shuffle my feet like a really older person & now I'm practically run through the store LOL wow I better stop here looks like I'm writing a novel. Oh yes Richard is also lost about 40 pounds without even trying, from eating what I cook mostly just for his lunches at work and the more potatoes we eat The Slimmer we're getting. If I didn't lose any more I would be happy at this weight 139-148 . I'm still going to eat the way I'm eating, if I lose more I lose more, if I don't I don't. Oh yes & I am doing intermittent fasting eating two meals a day from 5 to 6 p.m. I eat again around 12-1 p.m. the next day. If I feel hungry like I did in the middle of the night last night, I just tell myself, it's not really hunger, you don't have to eat until noon LOL and it works 😋🥔🌽🍠💪
