Raw till 4 to Starch Solution.

Trying out Starch solution, mainly due to the cold, eating fruit is just not worth the chills in the morning. I am still following an 80/10/10 lifestyle just with cooked starches as my main carbohydrate source. So far I feel freaking awesome! The benefits will be discussed after being on starch solution for a month! (as well as total weight-loss, and other changes). This is my second week, so two more before I do a progress post. Eating on starch solution is pretty easy, and cheap. I can now buy all organic foods, and still stay within my budget. I decide what starch I am going to use for the main part of my meal then I add in other fruits/veggies to eat with the main course. I only have coconut oil in my house, all other fat sources are gone. Let's see how I do!
