Welcome to 5050 Gal!

Throughout her life, Liz struggled with weight issues, seeking a sustainable way to maintain her health while avoiding the pitfalls of yo-yo dieting. Everything changed in June 2020 when she discovered the Starch Solution, an eating plan formulated by Dr. John A. McDougall. This approach emphasizes whole, natural starches like potatoes and rice, paired with non-starchy vegetables and fruits—eliminating heavily processed foods and oils.

Liz began her journey without knowing the outcome, taking it one meal at a time. By June 2021, she celebrated the loss of 27 pounds. Over the next year, she continued her progress, shedding an additional 5 pounds.

However, in June 2022, she experienced a plateau and made the decision to hire a health coach for guidance. It was also during this time that she created the 5050 Dish, a concept focused on balancing starches and vegetables.

With renewed focus and support, Liz embraced daily walks while wearing a weighted vest, leading to the loss of another 18 pounds by May 2023. This milestone marked a total weight loss of 50 pounds.

Now, Liz's focus is on maintaining her hard-earned success through simplicity in eating, daily movement, and consistency. She has learned the importance of fueling the body with the right foods, the significance of regular exercise, and the value of developing and maintaining good habits. Liz inspires others to take their health journey one meal and one step at a time, embracing the power of whole-food, plant-based eating.
