Yeah it's not easy, I've also tried and failed a few times. If you ever change your mind rutabaga and turnips are a little bit like potato. Not very nutritious but helps getting that full feeling. Also - you might not notice any immediate symptoms from indigestion from starch and dairy, I believe it can kind of creep up on you over time. Just want to emphasize this because I went for a very long time not suspecting how closely related my health problems were to my digestion, not saying this is your case.Appreciate your input!
I have definitely tried to cut out starch as much as possible but find that sooo difficult! I never feel satiated if I go to zero. But I try to stick to well cooked potatoes, sweet potatoes and squash in the winter. White rice, soaked oats and oat bran only on occasion because they definitely do cause issues... I just wish I did not crave them so much. But I know there are varying opinions on that and I hope I didn't just open a can of worms there
I sadly cannot tolerate but a little milk in my coffee, always go for A2. I can do ice cream but I pack on the pounds if I overdo it. So try to stick to zero fat greek yogurt/skyr and cheese for calcium (and sometimes well cooked kale)- I don't think those are causing my any issues, at least not in the immediate (e.g., bloating, constipation, low blood sugar/temps).
