    Love seeing Mary by herself. I really admire her. She’s such a great partner. Always supportive and with a sense of humor. She’s also an excellent teacher. ❤️💙✅

    Mary was just the partner John needed. He was right on the money in following the research, and Mary was right there to make it work food wise. I am profoundly grateful for the recipes I love, and for pioneering the way. I see my peers with their meds and health problems and my heart goes out to them.

    Mary says she eats about 45% starch and the rest fruits and veg and goes on to say if you want to lose weight to eat 90% starch, that the starch helps you to lose weight. I find this confusing because Dr McDougall says if you want to lose weight to lower your starch and increase your veggies. This is what the 50/50 plate in the maximum weight loss is about. The opposite of what Mary says at 1:02:45

      I'm not sure what you mean by "smothered potatoes" exactly. But here's what I do. I just ate a bowl full of potatoes for breakfast - I smothered them with a spicy marinara sauce from a jar. I also smother them in a green chili from a can. BBQ sauce is scrumptious on potatoes as is salsa of all sorts. For toast, I figured out that if one spreads a thin layer of yellow miso on the toast and then a thin layer of tofu, and a sprinkling of nutritional yeast and smoosh it all together, it has the salty moist texture and flavor reminiscent of butter. This combination could also be mixed together and put on potatoes if one wished. So those are some thoughts.

    She said Dr. McDougall ate meat, eggs, cheese when he was young and that made him tall, smart, successful and wealthy, but then he decided to turn against that diet since he didn't like those 4 qualities that it gave him. Then he says 99% of the successful living populations ate starch based. Well then how did he end up up eating meat, eggs and cheese? How did that get filtered down from the successful generations if 99% of the people never ate that? Can someone explain this?
