  • Let's prep some potatoes while having a chat! Last year I lost 20 lbs but in November life got a busy, stressful then we got hit with another lock down with a full on stay-at-home order. My mind was not doing well at all. I talk about how I gained 20 lbs in the past 6 months and what I'm doing about it.

    I heard recently the average weight gain from Covid was 29 pounds, and the median weight gain was 15 pounds. This has been a challenge.

    We're all here for you, Jeannine! I bet you helped so many people over the holidays, time to look after yourself now 💕 I agree, life is so much easier when I have fresh fruit to snack on, as well as cooked veggies and starch in the fridge 👍🥔🍠

  • @Dupi_Cogan
    @Dupi_Cogan Před 3 lety +4

    saw on another CZcams channel that we should save those potato peels. Dry, onion powder, garlic powder (whatever). put in oven at 425 for 10-15 minutes (watch them) and they turn into yummy crisps

    My sure fire recipe for covid wt gain disaster, have daily: 1lb pistachios, bag of chips (organic of course ;-/ ), bottle of wine. Some days change those pistachios out for campers mix. Fortunately those days are in the review mirror. I try not to get too hung up about things. Just take it a day at a time.

    • @PotatoWisdom
      @PotatoWisdom  Před 3 lety +1

      Oh damn yes that is a weight gain kit if I ever saw one! Wise words about not getting hung up on it, one day at a time - I'm with you!

    So good to see you! I've been going through my own funk...have gained a little. Haven't been walking and have been "cheating" I have not been prepping much and need to get back to it. Looks like you moved - love the kitchen!!!!! And you look lovely.

  • @tbaldwin6180
    @tbaldwin6180 Před 3 lety

    2 weeks late but I just watched this and I would love to see your homemade hummus (including the cheesy version) and your sweet potato pudding recipes. I have so missed your videos. You're such an inspiration. Thank you 😊

  • @shawnykennedy4250
    @shawnykennedy4250 Před 3 lety +1

    So good to see you again! Love your new set-up/kitchen and how you are making it your own clean environment. This last year has been challenging for sure, but you are taking back control and that's what is important - you know what to do, how to do it and you will succeed once again! Please keep these talks going as so many of us can identify with what you are going through. Here for you and sending a big hug your way!

  • @annettelauretta
    @annettelauretta Před 3 lety +1

    I'm in the same camp. And, doing exactly what you're doing in this video. I'm trying to do a 50/50 plate, but I notice I'm not as satisfied. So, I'm accepting my starch 'genes' and just including veg with my starch. The weight takes its time, but I'm okay with that.
    I do admit I was pleasantly surprised when Ellie popped her head up. For some reason, I thought the counter would be too high. I guess she's bigger than I thought 🤷‍♀️😉😏

    Pandemic weight gain from stress.. everyone I know even my active biker friends. So if you LOST weight during that, thats amazing.
    I really didn't notice on you.
    Day #2 of my reset I feel good🤗👍 me

  • @gwenritch
    @gwenritch Před 3 lety +2

    Everyone is suffering from the Pandemic Pouch! I gained some weight too but Ive really got back on track and its slowly coming back off...we will all get through this. Im sorry to hear whats going on in your area. My family live in Ontario too so they are going a bit crazy. I try and keep busy and really determined to get my body back! Potatoes and veggies rock! your dogs are so sweet. Thank gawd for our animals! Im still caring for my 20 rescued cats. They have helped me when the days were long!

    Your new kitchen is gorgeous! I’m so happy you are back - we missed you!
    I loved the monster voice when calling for Elli 😂 - that was hysterical!
    Are you still doing coaching? If so, I may be interested. I’d love a plant based coach that is living with Hashimoto’s disease like myself! I’m plant based but in a deep rut. 😏
    I can’t seem to lose weight no matter what I do! 🙄

    • @PotatoWisdom
      @PotatoWisdom  Před 3 lety

      I'm starting up group coaching again, it was a last minute thing.. starts on Monday. I'm also in the process of setting up one to one coaching.

    Another video...yay! What hummus recipe do you follow? I don’t like cumin and I’m trying to find one I can make at home that taste good to me and my palette. Like you - I’d love to lose 20 lbs. Excited to follow you and your journey and soak up some inspiration.😊

    • @PotatoWisdom
      @PotatoWisdom  Před 3 lety

      I just loosely follow one of Hannah's recipes as inspo.. I put in a heaping spoon of tahini, 3 cups cooked chickpeas, juice of a whole lemon, garlic, then I add smoked paprika.. sometimes I put in some sun dried tomatoes.

      True! I grew up in Ontario Canada and it was mandatory to learn French, we had classes up until 9th grade.

    I did the potato rest for 1 week and gained 5lbs :( maybe i ate too many potatoes ?? I ate about 15lb bag of potatoes in 7 days and loads of Veggies. Help. What did I do wrong. Feel super bloated 😫

    • @PotatoWisdom
      @PotatoWisdom  Před 3 lety +1

      There's so many variables that can make the scale go up, in this case I don't think it was fat. 15 lbs of potatoes in one week is not much at all, I eat about 30 lbs a week. What was your diet prior to the Potato Reset?

    @DianneRawGirl Před 3 lety +1

    Hello,hello there. I was wondering where you went here, I did however read a week or 2 ago you moved into your own Apt. Me too weight gain sucks for us that yo-yo.

    • @PotatoWisdom
      @PotatoWisdom  Před 3 lety

      Hi Dianne! Yes I moved recently, it's wonderful! A little weight fluctuation is normal but yes it does suck sometimes, especially when it starts to feel uncomfortable, blech!

  • @RafaelbySuzannah
    @RafaelbySuzannah Před 3 lety +1

    I would definitely be interested in doing your course on my own without the coaching maybe just pay for a lifetime access to it kind of like what I did with high carb Hannah and Kiki. They do an offer some video kind of brought general coach thing to all of us but I'd be interested just have the video library check in on the fun things on my own time frame...
