I pretty much follow the Starch Solution or the Maximum Weight Loss by Dr. McDougall. I'd lost around 84 pounds, then for well over a month could not seem to move the scales down. After listening to this video, the light bulb went on. When you said: You MUST be in a calorie deficit, I realized that even though I was basically following the program, at 84 pounds lighter, I was not always doing a calorie deficit. Since then, I've kept that in mind, and the scales are moving down again. So thank you for your motivation and information.
Hi Chelsea, just wanted to thank you. Just like you, I have been vegan eating wholefoods for years but struggle with my weight. But with all your content and tips I've lost four kilos in a month. Thank you so much!!
Great tips, thanks! I microwave my potatoes for three minutes and then put them in the air fryer for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how big they are. That gives the peel a nice crustiness that I miss from oven baking, if I just microwave.
Can I just say.....YOU SHOULD BE ON STAGES AROUND THE WORLD MOTIVATING PEOPLE!🤗🙏❤️ Thank you for the idea of taking potatoes along when we are out and about🤗💃 I would also love to take you in my car💃😅 I would LOVE to be listening to one of your podcasts as I'm driving around town🙏🤗❤️💃
So wonderful to hear positive talk for the humble tattie! I have grown up with a fear of potatoes as being uber fattening. I am living on a farm just outside Rangiora, and there are so many potatoes just growing wild! Nothing nicer than eating a potato that was still in the soil that very morning.
Down 7 pounds in 3 weeks! Just starting my weight loss journey, finally getting consistent like you say! These meals look delicious, definitely going to be making a tomato-based potato and lentil soup this week :P
Great tips! Made me think of making some skin-on red/fingerling baby potatoes and putting them in a hot soup thermos. Easy to eat in the car with your fingers and the thermos won’t require the use of paper or foil. They could be seasoned without making a mess and won’t get squished! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for all your videos Chelsea! They helped me stay motivated and lose 33 lbs of covid weight this year. Even though now the weight is gone I still enjoy and look forward to your videos for meal ideas and to stay on track! Also, I'm so happy you and the family enjoyed your visit here in the U.S. After hearing your thoughts on your visit I realize how lucky we are to have so much fresh produce and such variety year round, it's easy to take that for granted.
This was really helpful. I did a different WFPB low-calorie density program and gained back my last 12 lbs after reaching my goal weight because it was too difficult to have 50/50 plates for every meal and snack. I like that your framework is a little looser, where taking a potato for a snack is so much easier than having to pack 50/50 veggies and snacks. Fresh veggies are so expensive right now! I think taking potatoes with me is going to save me from eating my son's granola bars at the park or cereal at my parents' house when I'm super hungry and away from my kitchen. This strategy would also have helped me a lot over the holidays. I hope I can reach my goal weight again and maintain it in a more sustainable way. I also liked your insight that creating an environment that helps us in our weight loss goals is important. From intuitive eating programs, I feel like I should be able to have chocolate, dates and peanut butter around the house and have the willpower to choose not to eat it, but it is just easier to leave them out of the house during this time. Thanks so much for these great tips!
Try no fruit or grains (replace those cals with potatoes) and weight will fall off. But be sure your body is full of kale green smoothie (i use stevia) or you’ll be snacky. Kale smoothie slays cravings. Fruit and grains drive it up. I do miss plain rice cakes but they only made me want more and didnt add nutrition. Also try an all raw veggies day here and there including green smoothie. Helps fat loss and appetite balance. Make that green smoothie big, lots of water, some salt, and drink 2-3 in your raw day. You’ll be so full!
I live in Sweden and we have a loooong winter. I know the struggle of expensive greens and fruit. But I have always loved leak, potatoes, carrots, beans and cabbage. I also make a lot of soups, it is so good 😊
Oh. It looks so good, and your explanation is so good re calorie density. Try the celery tops in the soup. I have a hard time finding them, but so good.
All great ideas. Very helpful! I actually do pretty well when left to my own devices. The problem for me arises in social settings. From really tempting unhealthy food just sitting there begging to be eaten... to peer pressure to eat and drink... alot... to guilt at not eating like a linebacker when friends/family invite you for a home cooked meal.
I love the lunch ideas! Chef AJ says "if you fail to prepare(to leave the house without food) prepare to fail". That is a great Creole seasoning, btw! Thank you for all the tips!
I find with microwaving potatoes, after I poke it with the fork I wrap it with a damp or wet paper towel. Keeps it moist and steamy. Thank you for helping me and providing inspiration.
Love this video!! Been a long time viewer and I just really appreciate how informative your content is and you are such a lovely person! Thank you for all you give to your audience.
Thanks for sharing. Your tips were very helpful. If you would rather not chop all those veggies, put them whole or in huge chunks in the IP. After you've cooked them, take a pair of scissors and hold them vertically. Then keep cutting the veggies until you get them the size you want. For me, this is so much easier and faster than the pre-chopping. Good luck, and thanks again.
Hey Chels, you have a potato button on your microwave - I have been using the microwave for years to cook potatoes using that button. It doesn't matter if you are cooking one or six, it will cook them perfectly. I do flip them midway during that process, but it takes the guessing of how long to cook them out. Also, there is a great way to microwave corn still in the husk that works like magic - if you or anyone else are interested.
I think doing overnight oats is a popular way to prep breakfast. I like to make a batch of steel cuts oats (4 servings) and save the rest. That being said, I'm only one person and you're making food for 4, so I understand if you might not have the space to store that, or something. Anyway, thanks for another great video. I love the part where you talk about creating a system, with habits that are repeatable and more likely to become routines. Blessings!
You should check out Atlanta Creole here on youtube. She follows plant-based McDougall style eating and puts Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning in everything! She prepares lots of inexpensive easy veggie-heavy Creole style meals.
Chelsea your so informative for information, I found your channel over a year ago and I love it. I do alot of what you do anyways have for many years but I love your new ideas and it keeps me on track and focused.
I've enjoyed my pastries in Sweden a few weeks ago but now I find myself longing back to my old habits that gave me the results that made me happy. :) It's so nice not having to stress because you know exactly what to do in order to get back where you were.
Good tips about habits . My habit is oats in water microwave 1minute top with and flaxseed and date paste. Lunch is always a salad with home made dressing. Dinner is a soup stew stir fry or burgers potatoes different ways. It works
Skip the microwave! The microwave cooks foods to 2000 degrees and the body cannot recognize it as food. The whole point of overnight oats is it will soften it while you sleep.
Love you videos and your heart. I will try more soups and I love the concept of making a pot of food that I can serve to my family and myself by just avoiding some of what is in there. FYI Don't discard your celery leaves They give so much flavor to soups and stews.
I really enjoyed this episode. I've been studying about a WFPB vegan diet for a good long time; but, I've been stuck at implementing it into my life. It's made me feel like a failure. But today you sharing your system to build the habits...well it was eye opening. You see my normal way of eating was restaurant, drive through and convenience foods from the grocery store. This kind of food is on every corner in America. It ticks me off big time. That said, I need a system that is easy, pleasant and affordable to make this life change I really want and need. Thanks for showing the way. I appreciate you! May blessings abound to you and your family.
I pack my breakfast and lunch daily 😁 ON oats, veggie packed lunch with fruit or veg as snacks. Dinner is veggie packed too. I eat chocolate after dinner 🙈I eat a banana everyday too. Can just the chocolate and banana keep me from losing weight? I’m thinking my new habit should be to swap the banana with a potato and find a lower calorie sweet treat for after dinner😁 I love your videos and I appreciate all your tips and recipes 🥰🥰
Love you, Chelsie! You speak my language! So great to know that you could take it off. It feels great to hear that because now I feel a little more freedom to enjoy foods with my family every once in a while for special occasions or even on trips
Thank you for the 4 tips! Well done👍 I will rember. I have a question or request for you, Chelsie🙈 Is it possible to do a video about the transision from weightloss to maintance? Thanks to you and other starch solution youtubers, I have now lost the weight I wanted to (15 kg)... but now I am worried for the next step😲 How do I add certain foods again without gaining weight? How to do the process with succes? Tips and advice would be much appreciated❤️ Thank you for all you do! I have seen every single video of yours👏 and used all the information in my life.
Congrats on your weight loss Randi that’s amazing!!! Do you mind if I ask, did you track calories or did you just follow starch solution/ maximum weight loss style of eating? I’m looking to lose the same amount😊
@@brooketerry8404 I did not track anything. Just followed the pricipples🥰 When I started, I did not believe anything good would happen to me. I did not trust the process. But I kept going! And I am so happy I did not quit😁 I was really chocked to see the weight fall off😲 It really works✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
@@randirosanikolajsen6372 ahhh randi your amazing! Thank you so much for the reply and, coming from a total internet stranger, I am so proud of you!!! Losing weight is so hard and look what you accomplished!❤️❤️❤️
MSG is natural. There is no reason to avoid it. A lot of the misinformation out there was spread by racist and xenophobic intentions. Just like salt, MSG should be consumed sparingly 💕
? Question - is it necessary for the paper towel around the potato in microwave? I have issues with the bleaching process involved in paper towel production. Thanks
I was told to add or use the leafy portion of the celery in my soups, etc also that it gives it good flavor...idk I just do it now and hey its not wasted anyway right?? I liked this video, good tips & tricks!! 😊
Thank you so much Chelsea - you are such an inspiration to so many people, especially young mum's. By the way, many microwaves have a potato setting. Just put the potato in and press the button
16:30 any tips for people who live with others not doing starch solution? Thankfully my gf is vegan but she loves candy chips icecream butter Mayo etc throughout the week so it’s always in the house :(
If environment just can't be conducive to weight loss (husband - I'll put things where I want, use oil when I want, bake what I want, buy what I want) - would it be best to always calorie count to try to stay in a deficit. Breakfast and lunch are always on plan - dinner and snacks are a problem.
Yeah thats good soup! You used a lot of the US spice optiins I love. Though the creole seasoning has a lot of salt, as well so I have to really watch it. But, yeah! The flavor is just wow!
Why do people discard the celery leaves? They can be added to the soup. In fact, I use only the leaves, as I like the flavour, but don't like eating chunks of celery.
Watching you put pasta and potatoes in a soup makes me just think if I did that I would gain so much weight. I'm not sure if it's because I eat too much of the portion but it seems every time I try to eat brown rice etc., I put on like five pounds even when I measure it out. Sigh
I thank you for all of your advice ! I just can’t stop having wine with dinner so I don’t lose weight and sometimes gain. I have to talk myself out of that before I can make any progress…
Did you say this soup is two servings?! I made it exactly how you did, my fiance and I had a bowl (so good) and there's so much left over and I couldn't finish my bowl, it was so filling!
my brain is struggling with the fact that fruit and veg aren’t abundant in NZ. I assumed that you were somewhat tropical, you know, mangos, kiwis, papaya. or some version of that! wow! leaned something new today.
I am actually really dubious of the Mrs Dash and Tony Checheres types of mixed spices. Those brands were always used in the prefabricated "bomb shelter food" my dad's family always ate. None of that was very healthy, and as a veg I feel it is everything I am trying to swim away from. My mother's cooking was the opposite extreme where most of the herbs came out of the garden. I've never been as adamant on that point as she however as I get older I do find myself growing basil and mint. And certain dishes like enchiladas just do not taste right to me now unless I am grinding down the ancho peppers into chili powder myself.
I don’t like foil touching my food either so with a potato I would wrap it in parchment paper or paper bag and then in foil to hold the heat. The soup looks delicious! I think you and your family should move to the U.S. ❤️🤍💙
Hello form Australia, I her you re the vegetable prices, flipping lettuce on special for $8.50, and cucumber pushing $4, Thank god for massaged kale for greens
We have a kale shortage in Victoria lol, and the supermarkets have been low in frozen vegetables so I had to resort to seeing what grew wild in the garden - this week, we have steamed daikon radish!
Can this lifestyle help reduce ones breast size? I would love to go down from a D to a B cup, I really wouldn't mind being an A cup. The struggle is real!

I've regained some weight, too. Regulating oil and fat seems to be key. Nuts and peanuts caused me to gain weight.

None of that was very healthy, and as a veg I feel it is everything I am trying to swim away from. My mother's cooking was the opposite extreme where most of the herbs came out of the garden. I've never been as adamant on that point as she however as I get older I do find myself growing basil and mint. And certain dishes like enchiladas just do not taste right to me now unless I am grinding down the ancho peppers into chili powder myself.
In one of your recipes it calls for 3 tins of tomatoes for your soup. What measurement is that?
I don’t like foil touching my food either so with a potato I would wrap it in parchment paper or paper bag and then in foil to hold the heat. The soup looks delicious! I think you and your family should move to the U.S. ❤️🤍💙
Great video!
Hello form Australia, I her you re the vegetable prices, flipping lettuce on special for $8.50, and cucumber pushing $4, Thank god for massaged kale for greens
We have a kale shortage in Victoria lol, and the supermarkets have been low in frozen vegetables so I had to resort to seeing what grew wild in the garden - this week, we have steamed daikon radish!
@@allieb7757 yes !! the only reason I have kale. Its pretty woeful
Using a microwave saves on energy, too. As does cooking a big pot of stew/ soup/ chilli at a time.
You are usin Vegetaaaa🥰
Ok, totally off topic, but your shirt is 🤩😍🤩😍

Can this lifestyle help reduce ones breast size? I would love to go down from a D to a B cup, I really wouldn't mind being an A cup. The struggle is real!
