Plant-Based Keto sounds like a crazy idea, when you first consider it. Right? I mean, isn’t one of the biggest attractions to a keto diet the fact that you can eat all that meat, poultry, fish, and eggs with abandon? Oh, and cheese. Omg…the cheese! …

I gotta tell you…after 10 days on the Mary’s Mini version of Dr. John McDougall’s Starch Solution I was pretty happy with my results!
Not only did I lose weight, but I’m also noticing some other health conditions improving in that short time.
Yes, I lost 5 pounds in 10 days…which is incredible…but I also noticed my skin looking better and my energy improving!
Honestly, I’m not completely sure if my success was 100% due to the Mary’s Mini diet…or if the Intermittent Fasting/OMAD (One Meal A Day) approach was what made the difference.
The first 8 days I followed the standard Mary’s Mini protocol, ie; I ate regular meals, as I would normally, but made sure to eat only foods approved for this program. You are supposed to choose a single type of ‘starchy’ food (potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, quinoa, oatmeal, etc.) and make that the center of every meal. I chose potatoes. Granted, I did include some yams and sweet potatoes, too. I figured they are all (essentially) potatoes…even though the orange ones I thought were yams are probably just a different variety of sweet potato.
But by day 8 I hadn’t achieved the kind of weight-loss goals I’d hoped for. So, the last 2 days I decided to incorporate an OMAD approach, skipping breakfast and lunch, only eating a single evening meal
Watch the video below for all the details then tell me your own thoughts in the comments below.
I’d love to know if you’ve tried either Mary’s Mini and/or OMAD, and if so, what your experience has been!
