    Starch solution diet-meal plan for 2 weeks

    Affiliate links are marked with asterisk *.

    I want to share a meal plan to make life simpler while dieting on the Starch Solution Diet. This includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And at the end, I have a list of snacks. This starch solution menu also includes meal prepping ideas for every week.

    This meal plan is great if you have kids in the house, the whole family can eat the same food. For maximum weight loss, always add an additional half-plate salad or cooked/steamed non-starchy veggies with your meal.

    Start by reading my mini guide on the Starch Solution diet. You should definitely also read The Starch Solution book*; it also has a 7-day meal plan with recipes. The book also has around 100 recipes created by Mary Mcdougall.

    Find out more about a plant-based diet in my other article and what vitamins you might want to supplement with.

    Do you need to count calories?

    You don't need to count calories; that is the whole idea of the Starch Solution Diet. You eat mostly low-calorie foods; vegetables, both starchy and nonstarchy, and whole grains. All high-calorie foods are cut out, such as oils, fat, cheese, sugar, and processed foods.

    In this meal plan there are some nuts, seeds and avocado but not all days, you can leave it out if you want to.

    This is how you should eat to achieve maximum weight loss

    Read the post about how to do maximum weight loss McDougall style. Eat 50/50 plates. So always have some salad also prepared and eat of the dinner recipes only a half plate. Fill out your tummy with soup and salad. This cabbage soup is great to make in addition to the other foods, this is such low-calorie and gives you extra veggies and fiber. Limit your fruit intake to 1-2 per day.

    Learn about calorie density; you cut out more calorie-dense foods for a while like nuts, avocados, and flour products and eat more salads, soups, fruit, cooked starches like beans, potatoes, rice, quinoa, and a bit more of the nonstarchy veggies that have fewer calories.

    To achieve maximum weight loss, don´t eat in the late evening, try to have a 12 hour night fast. Non-starchy veggies are great to snack on in the evening.
