Potatoes! That's amazing, that satiety chart... Gonna start incorporating these more. (And the 1 lb of non-starchy veggies/day, which I saw recently in another of your videos, love this!) Also, strength training. Great video, ty Chelsea!
My recent revelation is the thing about going hungry and binging. I'm learning to listen to my body - eating when I'm hungry and stopping when I'm well satisfied. It's life changing.
Same!! I stuff myself way too much then I don’t eat again until I’m so hungry! Even now that I’m aware I keep doing it. I am vegan and I do like fruit and veggies but I know I’m not eating enough of them. I hardly ever snack. I just seem to be very chaotic around food choices. I just don’t know how to be calm and keep a routine. I want to be the kind of person who eats like her 90% because it does look good, and have fun junky foods on occasion and actually enjoy them knowing I’m not like out of control. Is that too much to ask? lol 😅. I love that she is really giving the blue print though. Well good luck to both of us!
I don't have a salary or food stamps right now, so the vegetables part is hard because produce is expensive. But I have beans and rice and oats and that is what I am eating. I have lost 45 pounds. I wish I could afford vegetables and fruit but I am so happy that I have the staples and don't have to spend the money. Happy with the 45 pound loss. I have about 45 left to go. Here's hoping I keep losing or get some money so I can try other things.
@@Marathon5151 If I get on food stamps maybe. I have been taking care of a dying relative and have a business that can no longer pay me so I have to stay as frugal as possible. Zero shopping right now.
I'm finally losing weight following your advice: consistently weighing out and eating a pound of non starchy veges a day, that's the absolute key for me. I'm doing 1/3 block of tofu, a head of broccoli and pre-made coleslaw. Same every single day, I don't mind it's the same everyday because it takes so good and it's working!
I’ve been yo-yo dieting most of my life. Just recently I’ve implemented many of your recommendations and it is serving me well. I’m no longer dieting. I’m living a healthy life with lots of nutritious food. Forever. I’m 68 and have 110 pounds to lose but I’m already living my best life! You are a smart cookie… I mean potato! ❤
Your method of component prepping is making a massive difference for me. My meals have become significantly faster and easier to prepare thanks to it. Your methods have helped me overcome quite a number of stubborn roadblocks in my weightloss journey. The value of these videos, the program, your knowledge and teaching ability is immeasurable and so is the impact you have had on me and so many other women. Thank you so much for what you do!!
You are an amazing teacher….. truly. It’s taken me years to stop resisting a regular and earlier bedtime, but I finally leaned in and there is no going back. I feel more rested (obviously) but also feel more grounded….. way less cravings, less obsessing about food. Huge difference! Highly recommend doing this if it’s not already part of your routine.
I’m also 5 pounds away from my goal weight and this video is helpful as I transition into maintaining this lifestyle. I was wondering if you could do a video of low calorie desserts you like?
Girl, you’re so encouraging. Your content gives me energy and an amazing experience. You’re so prepared and your efforts show. Thanks for making me healthier and happier. Keep that sh*t up!
I’ve simply lost 20 pounds in a little over 2 months just by eating more vegetables like zucchini, salads, tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli , carrots and potatoes . I don’t eat rice or pasta and haven’t had those since I started my journey. I do have bread and usually have most of my starch and carbs in the morning because when I wake up that’s what my body craves. So typically a bowl of protein oats or toasted low calorie bread with homemade jam and eggs is my go to . Then the rest of the day I have half veggies and half protein for my meals and I’m not hungry at all even when eating in a calorie deficit. High protein keeps me full the longest.
Ok, I think this might have been the very best video I have ever seen on weight loss. I know if I just do what you say here it will work. I have been struggling so long. I’m definitely a junk food vegan who loves to binge and addicted to diets. I decided I’m not dieting anymore like a year ago and funny enough I haven’t gained much weight. But I’ve been at my heaviest weight since the pandemic! I’m 5’8 and 200ish ibs. My habits fluctuate, and I just have a blockage. What you say here is broken down soooo simply. I feel really excited. I’m going to reply to my own comment in the future to give you an update. Thank you!
Once again, Chelsea, you show great psychological insight when you say build habits, not goals! This is so wise. After all, goals are meaningless in themselves, and arbitrary.. They are frequently no more than wishful thinking. I worked for many years in care work with various client groups, and I was , and remain, very impatient with theories such as goal-oriented 'constructive' behaviour therapy. Every person changes their body weight and fitness level at their own individual pace, so setting goals means that some people are going to 'fail', or at least to be deemed to have failed. And this leads them to think of themselves as failures, when in fact, if they persevere, they are actually on the way to success, albeit at a slower pace than somebody else, or more slowly than their 'therapist' has deemed to be the right pace.. I really love your videos, Chelsea. And I had to laugh at the way you jumped on your bed! Your kids are adorable, and you are a beautiful young woman, and very intelligently articulate. I am so happy that I started my day today with this video, because my efforts now will NOT be primarily focused on trying to 'meet my goals' in a hopeful way, but in building daily habits to reach them. Thank you so much for this insight! God bless you and your loved ones, and all those who watch these videos.
I've been following for a few weeks. I started weighing daily, prepping tofu and potatoes. Starting to get to bed earlier. Gotta start measuring out 1 lb veg . My kids arent too happy seeing more veggies incorporated into dinner.
I really needed this video, Thanks heaps Chels! I really got a lot out of every one of these 10 things... I've been watching your videos for only a little while, but this one just really hit home and I feel like I really "got it" after watching this just now. 🙌😊 Every single one of these 10 things was a lightbulb moment for me, but today I felt sooo depressed and angry with myself after binging on a whole mini carrot cake yesterday. I got on the scale this morning and saw the huge gain in weight, and felt so fat and unwell all day...the point about averaging the daily scale numbers rather than getting upset about a certain number was gold, and so was the thought that it is just data, and to emotionally detach from it. I was going ok but really hit a big binge yesterday and felt so bad all day, but now I feel a lot better that I can keep on doing these 10 things and build habits that get me where I want to be. I just ate a better dinner tonight and I will start doing better (not perfection just progress) from here on. Thank you so much for this video !! 🙏😊
All 10 were helpful. Thank you. This gives me hope. I think prepare is so important especially when you're going out. Blessings to you and all that are learning to take care of themselves. ❤
I’ve been binging your content on RU-vid and podcasts for the last month-ish. I’ve listened to some of the podcasts 3-4 times 😅. Everything you are saying makes so much sense! I’ve been implementing your advice and I’m feeling full and satisfied, which is a great feeling after years of dieting. Thank you for everything and keep going! You are amazing! If anyone could recommend a Chelsea video that is about emotional eating, please send it my way 🙏🏻
This was great to hear today. Two things that I will be implementing are one, to weigh myself every day and take the average over a week. My weigh in day now is Friday and if I am up a little it throws me off for the whole weekend and that doesn’t help at all. I think it will help me. The second thing I’m implementing is to weigh out one pound of vegetables and eat them for the day. This sounds doable for me. I make a list of combination meals and it can be hard to know how much vegetables I’m actually eating. This should help. Thanks for these tips. I will probably use other ones too but these two I will start right away.
Can you talk about dressing sauces and flavoring for meals? That’s my biggest issue with staying WFPB - I like salad but haven’t found a good oil free dressing. Same with sauces I just need that flavor on veggies.
I am in perimenopause and on plant based diet and my stomach is so huge, bloated and i look pregnant 😢. I am hungry all the time and i keep gaining weight. My BMI is 25 and i should be at least 5 kg lighter and I feel very tired, weak. I walk every day in the morning, lift weights and i do yoga and stretching every single day. Cannot sleep too. Takes me forever to fall asleep. I have 2 cups of coffee with soy milk and stevia around 7 am and that’s it. 😢
Might be worth getting a blood panel done to check for things like anemias, hormones, thyroid etc. I’ve seen many women (and doctors ) hang all symptoms up on perimenopause or menopause and miss other things that could be helped with tweaks to diet, supplementation as needed, sleep, stress management and exercise
Plant based diet ruined me. My body thrives on healthy fat and extra protein. The bloating went away. Also, plant based it high in oxalate which messed me up too and caused kidney stones. Perimenopause is known to begin melatonin depletion as women age. Might be why you can’t sleep well.
if only fresh veg + fruit wasn't so expensive due to the area I live in (in the uk, my area has nothing like costco or bulk stuff not a lot of frozen options really plus I don't make all food decisions in the house) cause I want to be a bit healthier
It's common advice in the bodybuilding world 2. They say have protein with carbs or protein with fat but don't mix the fat and carbs. I'm honestly not sure either. It sounds like "bro science". The only thing I can think of is the combo of fat and carbs could make the meal hyper palatable which would make it easier to overeat on.
The only thing that matters overall is eating less calories. Fat and starch tastes best. That’s what we like donuts, deep fried in fat and covered in sugar. I always have starchy veg, fats and protein sources in my meals. In every meal.
Also, heres some advice: if you dont drink water, then eventually, you will hit a permanent plateau. There are two ways to go to lose weight. Low carb, high fat. Which reduces water weight by getting rid of the carbs that cause you to retain water. Then there is high carb, low fat, which retains water in favour of losing actual fat on your body. Either one can work, but only one of them is healthy for you.
This probably not the right video for you. You seem to be mor concerned with trying to stir up crap. She looks great and she's trying to help other people. You should just scroll on by.
