Two days ago I received The Starch Solution book and today I received the Maximum Weight Loss book. My head is spinning and I am itching to get started! Should I get started with the MWL recipes first?
How many servings do the recipes serve? I have a family of four (two young children and husband) whom I would like to try the recipes out on (even if I end up being the only one eating them) and I want to make sure that I make enough. And I can really eat as much as I want until I am satisfied?! Even the breakfast foods? Where does everyone suggest buying the food products, especially the breakfast foods?
P.S. Will I negate my potential positive results if I use Crisco canola oil non-stick spray on pans? (please don't hate me for asking, lol)
What breakfast foods are you speaking of? Oatmeal? Fruit? Whole wheat flour? Potatoes, veggies and rice? (I was looking at the Starch Solution breakfast recipes to get an idea, since I've never looked.) Almost ALL of the food I eat daily on this way of eating I buy at the regular grocery store. Most of the exceptions consist of the canned beans with no salt added, and no-salt-added fire-roasted tomatoes. If you have questions about specific brands of packaged foods, then folks can help you find them--availability of different packaged foods differ so much state to state and country to country.And I can really eat as much as I want until I am satisfied?!

However, I am excited to give it a shot!
