SO nice to see someone work out and NOT have protein powder/smoothie afterward!! I am a WFPB athlete (7 days/wk) NOT trying to lose weight, but I and never saw the need to use protein powder. Beans, tofu, hemp seeds, etc. provide PLENTY of post-workout muscle fuel.
Yah I'm over the whole protein powder hype! Just seems weird to me.. according to urine samples when I was pregnant with my second baby, I was getting more protein than the average eater. All WFPB. I love eating the good stuff!!
I love this channel! Meals are so simple anyone can do this, and it’s an accurate representation of everyday people, eating healthy, living life. Love it! ❤️
❤ Chelsea I am a healthy eaten newbie. I am learning so much from you. ❤ I have my extra firm tofu in the fridge. I am waiting on my veggie stock powder to come in the mail (couldn’t find it in any stores here). I have never tried tofu but “I am excited to give it a go.” Thats your line, lol Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I am ready to take my health back. ❤❤
I LOVE your videos! It is life on the screen showing a day with lots of stuff happening, and making healthy easy food when you`re busy! That is really great to see, as most of us are not pro full-time youtubers - it is very inspirational! ( ps i loved when your youngest picked up the leek and put it right back again, haha, so adorable and hilarious!) 💕
Congratulations on your success !! I’m down 15 with the starch solution in 30 days! I got another 15 to go and LOVING this journey!! I was already plant based starting and I will say this has been the easiest lifestyle EVER!! Feeling great!!! Thanks for your videos!! One question, can we see a video with your curly hair? Take care girl!
Thank you for sharing this info ! My boyfriend eats terribly but works out a lot 🤦♀️ i have been telling him over and over just eat more veggies, its all about your diet. You truly are what you eat.
Love your sweet family! Thanks for this great video, girrrrrl! You're so right about exercise. It can really amp up the hunger and make us think we can get away with eating more calories than we actually burned off. Going high volume + low cal density and fueling up before or after workouts with whole starches and non-starchy veg is so satisfying!
I’m with you Chelsea on the gym!😂😂😂 I love eating healthy and staying in shape. But not so excited about hitting the gym. I love your realism on your videos. Bless you and your family🥰
Your vibe is so warm and inspiring. Thank you for keeping it so real. I’ve been plant-based eating for 5 weeks and have been stressing about getting in some workouts. You’ve calmed me down. I’ll get there. One step at a time. Your kids are great! Love seeing them and some glimpses of your man. Now I’m going to go listen to your podcast. (I’m in Seattle, where we’re starting to transition from Summer to Fall...or do you say Autumn?)
I always love your video! I love that your meals are super easy to throw together, because that is what I need. I agree with the exercising. I used to be a personal trainer and had some clients wonder why they weren't losing weight. I had to explain that it is mostly diet that helps you lose weight.
I love when you said, "I'd love to eat it, but it doesn't fit in with where I want to go". T I wrote that down for motivation- it sounds positive, instead of negative it like you're giving something up
Hi Chelsea Mae, thank you very much for your super honest videos. I think you are really super funny I was sent here by Plantyfull Kiki also a super woman like you👍💪❣😆.

I have to come really enjoy working out, not while I am doing it but afterwards. Also in combination with eating this way, I have seen results. I cook very similar to you, my meals are super simple but delicious. I just feel good all around. That sushi bowl you made at the end 😋. As always your family is too cute.
Great video! I love how the kids pop in and out. Boom shakalaka LOL! I'm in love with your littlest after that one! ❤️❤️❤️ Sushi bowls are my favorite. Lunch tomorrow for sure!
Love your videos! 🙌🏻😊 They are so funny, educating and down to earth 👌🏻Of topic - can you add the music details used for this video please? It’s fabulous!
I'm down 22lbs and I was thinking maybe exercise would speed things up a bit as I'm losing about 1-2 lbs a week ... but I know I'd def eat more if I exercise ... I guess its finding that balance isn't it. I have to rem to be patient with it. Cheers for the video ... HHH, Kiki and you are what got me started and so glad I did as it really has made a huge difference 🌼🌸🌼
Have you cut down on calories to have lost this amount of wait? I've started a 1200 daily calorie diet di a morning and evening walk which helps burn arpund 350 cal a day and Im hoping to have lost 20lbs by Dec 2020. Not sure if this realistic hooe it does work out eventually.
@@smurph4959 oh that's inspiring! Im new to this and decided to try the vegan route Hopefully if I see in improvements in the next month or two I may switch onto the 50/50. All the best and keep it up!
@@AAA-ct8zd you too. I was vegan anyway so it was easier for me. But never felt better. Simple things are so much easier without that 22lbs!!!! Fingers crossed for you too 🌼🌸🌼
Hi mate, i am only a wee way into your vid & must comment .....i bloody love that lil sneaky hand creeping up to grab whatever youve just diced. she got a little shock with that leek! quickly returned it to you! lol girl i love her boot-stick too! if it left a mark or footprint up there, i'd say Thats the kids driving me up the wall! hehe god youre so real and down to earth! and i just gotta say..u lucky ducky...i love that long gorgeous wild hair! Also LOVE how you: have a regularly dirty floor, have a bit of a messy house, how you try to shake the shit into the quickpot one handed, how you still use the potato even tho that kind dont look pretty & perfectly white, (AND especially...how your kids dont care, they still grab bites of it! FANTASTIC!) (ive been there hun and my motto was always .....if your house or your day is full of little kids & you DONT have a crazy messy room, plus paint or food or something in your hair or spilt on your shirt, and if youre NOT exhausted by the end of the day, then youre doing it wrong!)
Love your video, as usual :) my kids miss the trampoline park SO much but everything of that sort is still closed here...no fun! For how long was the soup cooked on the slow cooker mode? It looked great and I have all the ingredients with me to make it!
Chelsea your an inspiration and I love that your keeping things simple and not over complicated. I am wanting to start my journey also and need to lose about 20kgs. I am addicted to sugar and coffee, I love coffee. Did you have any struggles with any particular food group that had you fall off the wagon and how did you cope with it ? Mentally I struggle because sometimes if I fall of the wagon then I think ... oh well... I will just start a fresh tomorrow because today is ruined. This cycle has been my constant struggle. Also I live in a small town and we don’t have any options much for anything plant-based so sometimes when I am out catching up with a friend I will have things like a soy latte but often the drawer of those yummy muffins seem to get me because they’re about the only thing that I can have as sometimes I have some vegan muffin even though I don’t think they’re overly healthy. How do you deal with going out for a catch up when your options are limited in the food department? This is a real struggle and often is my fall of the wagon day to be honest.
Was wondering why you sounded so normal compared to other youtubers.. because you’re a kiwi too!! Haha classic kiwis just find our accent normal while everyone else finds its strange!! 😝💕
I understand not feeling like heading to the gym. Do you like running or walking outside? I hate gyms, but love being outdoors in the morning running, even when its cold I prefer it and it is cold most of the year here in Montana.
This part was very confusing, it’s the opposite of what she seems to be promoting, so now I don’t know what to think 🤷🏽♀️ I can’t understand why she would promote doing something you don’t enjoy as surely that’s not sustainable 🤷🏽♀️
@@Elizerinc and I’ve just seen her doing pull ups 🥰 which for me, would be a great reason to keep at it because I think if you have the strength to do pull ups, you can easily maintain your strength/fitness in a variety of ways and she answered another query I had which not only made perfect sense but has also motivated me to put in the effort to get back into exercise regardless of whether I feel like it or not. And yes, the skateboarding looks like fun 👍🏽 thanks for your comment ☺️
Girlfriend, I HEAR YOU! So much. Hubs works on the road, so its me in charge! And with covid- exercise classes are just starting up.... not that I’ll sign up cause I’m lazy. Looking forward to my journey. On week 1 of MWL and have lost 3lbs so far. Big hug from Canada!
can you make us a week meal plan? i'm very new to veganisim, I used to be on a keto diet, i'm quite thin, I weigh 40-41 kg and i'm 157 cm, last time I checked my fat percentage was 19%, the thing is I am okey with how my body looks and my diet was fine, but I kinda wanna look slimmer, so I thought I should try being Vegan, I wanna see how the decrease in protein would effect the way my body looks, if whether it would make me gain fat or lose muscle. I gotta say that i'm only on my second day and i'm already struggling, the idea of eating rice and starchy vegetables is terrifying to me, i'm trying so hard to stay calm and break through my fear of food slowly, since on my previouse diet fruits like apples and bananas and carbs especially starchy ones were cut out of my diet, for example, today I had only 1/2 of a sweet potato for breakfast with salad and some broccoli, and later i'm having cauliflower rice with white beans (i was supposed to have wild brown rice instead of cauliflower rice but i'm too scared of starches still). i'm fearful of rice, i don't remember the last time i had rice in my diet... my problem areas to me are my legs and thighs, to me they are not skinny, they are a bit muscly even though i don't exercise, and before going into keto i used to be fat, after going on keto i lost 15 kg. a high fat low carb moderate protien diet helped me lose weight and look better than ever, (so here's my main question; i don't quite understand how sweet potatoes and brown rice and other starchy foods, will not be stored as fat in my body due to an increase in insulin, i heard that when insulin goes up, fat stores stop burning or something of that sort?) help me put my brain at rest please. PS: English is not my native language so excuse me if I didn't sound comprehensive/ coherent, a new follower from saudi arabia
Chelsea - I’m having trouble understanding what is wrong with fruit? I’m thinking I probably eat too much of it, but if fruit is 200-300 cal/lb and I also eat lots of veg??
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! Very helpful. I have a question I hope you can answer. I have been eating like you for about 7 weeks but now I have stopped losing weight : ( Is a plateau normal? I've been doing High Carb Hannah's weight loss meal plan but supplemented some of your recipes ( I found you through your collab with her). Any advice is most welcome or even a video on this topic and what to do about it. Thank you!! x
Hi Chelsea! I find your information really interesting and useful so thanks for that. I have a question. I am starting training for a 50km trail run and started vegan 3.5 months ago. I didn't lose any weight and came across the starch diet and your advice. Along these lines, what if my goal is to run this marathon but also want to lose weight (so I don't have to lug around 15kgs extra!). I have 6 months to train (starting from zero). Do you have any advice on this? Many thanks :)
Hey what do you do about hair loss - I'm not a vegan but don't eat much meat - like a couple of times a month in small portions. Even less with dairy. I do this cause of hair loss and feeling weak.... any suggestions.
Adding more seeds and fats to your diet honestly helps A LOT. Also, thinning hair could be a sign of undereating and/or anemia. I hope you feel better soon! :*
I wish I had a friend that ate like me (aka someone like you haha!) Anyways now I'm in the mood for stew. Anyone else eat like this already? xo- Charlotte Faith
Thanks loving your videos! Have been eating this way but my body is not copying with all the fibre, lots and lots of gas 💨 My teenage kids and husband are not happy with smelly mum 😂
Hey Chelsea, I am new to plant based eating. Recently came out of that keto/Carb Cycling/Paleo/IDK diet....I am stressed about eating carbs coming from Keto , I am anticipating a weight gain, any suggestions?? Also, how long was it before you started losing weight? I ordered Starch Solution but haven't received it yet so my meals have been ideas from your channel, Plantiful Kikki and others....not sure what Im doing???? Help!!!
You will experience water weight from previously lacking carbs but carbs are extremely difficult to turn into fat by the body and is rather used as a heat source (body heat) if too many carbs are eaten (can’t remember the name for this mechanism lol)
I've watched a few of your videos. Does your husband eat the way you eat, or are you needing to cook meat for him. Just wondering. My husband is still carnivore, and I cook meat every day for him, or every other day. The longer I eat whole food plant-based,and I am starting to really get grossed out cooking his meat. But have to keep both of us happy.
Hello there :) i was in a similar situation and i decided that if my husband wants to eat meat, he can prepare it for himself. Turned out plant based is better than it seemed at first to him :D
@@sandranaumann2073 - HA HA, love it! I only wish. If I told him I wouldn't cook it, he'd just go to the restaurant and let me eat by myself. That's how adamant he is about not even just trying it. He's a bullhead. Thanks.
Lucinda Fender that def could be it, it is a lot better then it was the first few days. I think I just need to stay with and let my body keep wondering WHAT IS HAPPENING. Lol
I have a question, I hope its not too personal.. I was just googling "permanent body changes after pregnancy" and really freaked out! Since you've had children I'm wondering if you could share.. I can see you got your body back in terms of weight which is great, however, has your body changed? Is it really as scary as it sounds? One of the things that scared me the most was that not only the hips can get wider but also the waistline (regardless of excess weight) and my waist is my favorite part of my body, i would hate that so much.. maybe other people here can share as well.. thanks!
It just depends on how you take care of yourself during pregnancy and after and your genetics. Some things you just can't help...your chest gets bigger for nursing, and your hips do get a little wider...but you get the opportunity to pass a human through them!!! They have to get wider! Its just a new chapter in your life after kids: some good things, some bad things, and just different things. But they are WORTH IT!
every woman is different and every pregnancy is different so it's hard to predict, though how pregnancies went for women in your family could give you a hint. going back to pre-pregnancy weight is really a small part of it, what changes mostly is that you have very little time to take care of yourself. for me for example I am dealing with back/neck pain because of breastfeeding and how babies sat on my pelvis that tilted it so I need to do specific exercises and PT but don't always have time lol. I have a baby and a toddler now, I did PT after my first and everything went back to normal so I think eventually I'll fix this one too. I would say the most important thing is to find a good provider that you really feel comfortable with and it won't be scary. pregnancy is a huge change--physical, mental, emotional--but it can also be beautiful. the births of my two kids were the best moments in my life and I would definitely wish that to anyone who wanted kids.
I had four daughters and my body did change. Wider hips but now I'm losing weight I'm noticing I have more of a hourglass shape instead being a straight plank shape. And my boobs aren't as small and perky anynore. Nothing a good bra can fix 😉 I'm pretty proud of my body. It has carried four kids who are healthy and thriving. I appreciate it even more now I got diagnosed with PCOS and it's not even possible to have babies anymore without medical help. I didn't know my body would change like that and I would lie if I didn't tell you I was shocked by it because every woman I knew just bounced back like that. But I really started to love my new shape over time.
I know it may not seem like it Chelsea, but when you make comments about what you “can’t” eat around your daughters they listen. This in time, could lead to disordered feelings around food for them in the future. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and god bless your family.
I like your channel, which I just discovered,YOU are natural and real! And you make great recipes. however, I see that you put beef stock in your food, and now I see you say you are vegan ...🦧
Serious question, why would you go to a gym to work out if you don’t enjoy it? That is surely self abuse? Why would anyone do that to themselves when there are literally so many other ways to keep fit? This is such a terrible message, you might as well say eat then throw up to keep your weight down because you might not like it, but if you stick to it you’ll get the results 🤷🏽♀️ it’s just a bit confusing when I thought this channel was about good health - maybe that’s my mistake, I should have realised it’s just another get fit stay slim at any cost video :(
p.s. I am autistic and generally see/experience the world in a different way to most people so maybe this is normal for most people 🤷🏽♀️ I enjoy these videos so I’m just going to assume that it’s normal and not damaging for most people
It’s pretty normal to do things that are good for you that you don’t enjoy. I don’t mind it when I’m there, I don’t hate it but I’d much rather stay in bed. Just like I’d much rather eat junk food, never work, never clean up my house and neglect my responsibilities. Part of being a mature adult is doing worthwhile activities even if you don’t love them in the moment. 😊
@@ChelseaMae ahhh, that makes perfect sense, thank you 🙏🏽 autistic people don’t mature in the same way as neurotypical people do and because I have PDA (pathological demand avoidance) as well, it’s perfectly normal for me to not have or to not live up to responsibility’s and as an autistic person I think everyone thinks like me which is why I ask so many questions but you answered that so thoroughly, thank you, again, although it makes me feel like a useless human being 😭😭😭 I wish I could be normal and not autistic but thank you, people like yourself who take the time to answer my questions really help otherwise I’m just a frustrated mess trying to work things out in my own rigid mind 🙏🏽 I’ve just seen you doing pull ups in another video 😍 ~ one of my life goals ~ so the gym is definitely paying off as I think it is good to have a strong body 💪🏽
I also do all those things you said such as staying in bed, never cleaning my house, neglecting responsibilities but I’m not keen on junk food as it makes me feel like shit but I am working hard on trying to get out of bed and clean my house and what you said has made me think I’m going to try harder as I actually do enjoy exercise and feel happier when I do it 👍🏽 thanks for the help

@@Elizerinc and I’ve just seen her doing pull ups 🥰 which for me, would be a great reason to keep at it because I think if you have the strength to do pull ups, you can easily maintain your strength/fitness in a variety of ways and she answered another query I had which not only made perfect sense but has also motivated me to put in the effort to get back into exercise regardless of whether I feel like it or not. And yes, the skateboarding looks like fun 👍🏽 thanks for your comment ☺️
Girlfriend, I HEAR YOU! So much. Hubs works on the road, so its me in charge! And with covid- exercise classes are just starting up.... not that I’ll sign up cause I’m lazy.
Looking forward to my journey. On week 1 of MWL and have lost 3lbs so far.
Big hug from Canada!
can you make us a week meal plan? i'm very new to veganisim, I used to be on a keto diet, i'm quite thin, I weigh 40-41 kg and i'm 157 cm, last time I checked my fat percentage was 19%, the thing is I am okey with how my body looks and my diet was fine, but I kinda wanna look slimmer, so I thought I should try being Vegan, I wanna see how the decrease in protein would effect the way my body looks, if whether it would make me gain fat or lose muscle.
I gotta say that i'm only on my second day and i'm already struggling, the idea of eating rice and starchy vegetables is terrifying to me, i'm trying so hard to stay calm and break through my fear of food slowly, since on my previouse diet fruits like apples and bananas and carbs especially starchy ones were cut out of my diet, for example, today I had only 1/2 of a sweet potato for breakfast with salad and some broccoli, and later i'm having cauliflower rice with white beans (i was supposed to have wild brown rice instead of cauliflower rice but i'm too scared of starches still). i'm fearful of rice, i don't remember the last time i had rice in my diet...
my problem areas to me are my legs and thighs, to me they are not skinny, they are a bit muscly even though i don't exercise, and before going into keto i used to be fat, after going on keto i lost 15 kg.
a high fat low carb moderate protien diet helped me lose weight and look better than ever, (so here's my main question; i don't quite understand how sweet potatoes and brown rice and other starchy foods, will not be stored as fat in my body due to an increase in insulin, i heard that when insulin goes up, fat stores stop burning or something of that sort?)
help me put my brain at rest please.

That thumbnail pic tho!!!😂literally me every time!
You should provide some recipes that stuffed potatoes you made looked so yummy 😋
Chelsea - I’m having trouble understanding what is wrong with fruit? I’m thinking I probably eat too much of it, but if fruit is 200-300 cal/lb and I also eat lots of veg??
Nothing wrong with fruit. I personally find that i can very easily overeat fruit so I don’t have them often.
What kind of sweet potatoes are they? Ours are different
Love all your videos ty
Chelsea, great videos. Do you eat peanut butter?
can you share the banana bread recipe?
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! Very helpful. I have a question I hope you can answer. I have been eating like you for about 7 weeks but now I have stopped losing weight : ( Is a plateau normal? I've been doing High Carb Hannah's weight loss meal plan but supplemented some of your recipes ( I found you through your collab with her). Any advice is most welcome or even a video on this topic and what to do about it. Thank you!! x
Hi Chelsea! I find your information really interesting and useful so thanks for that. I have a question. I am starting training for a 50km trail run and started vegan 3.5 months ago. I didn't lose any weight and came across the starch diet and your advice. Along these lines, what if my goal is to run this marathon but also want to lose weight (so I don't have to lug around 15kgs extra!). I have 6 months to train (starting from zero). Do you have any advice on this? Many thanks :)
Do any foods cause you bloat and gas? I’d love to sit and eat a bunch of broccoli but I’d die of gas.
do you use much salt?
Hey what do you do about hair loss - I'm not a vegan but don't eat much meat - like a couple of times a month in small portions. Even less with dairy. I do this cause of hair loss and feeling weak.... any suggestions.
Adding more seeds and fats to your diet honestly helps A LOT. Also, thinning hair could be a sign of undereating and/or anemia. I hope you feel better soon! :*
I wish I had a friend that ate like me (aka someone like you haha!) Anyways now I'm in the mood for stew. Anyone else eat like this already? xo- Charlotte Faith
A buddy right? That would be so nice. I’m the crazy one at work 🤣
yes
Helen ... and with friends .....and with family 🙃🙃
I wish I had a real-life friend who ate like me, too!
Are your gyms open now?
Your kids are so cute❤️💐thank for video
Thanks loving your videos! Have been eating this way but my body is not copying with all the fibre, lots and lots of gas 💨 My teenage kids and husband are not happy with smelly mum 😂
Hey Chelsea, I am new to plant based eating. Recently came out of that keto/Carb Cycling/Paleo/IDK diet....I am stressed about eating carbs coming from Keto , I am anticipating a weight gain, any suggestions?? Also, how long was it before you started losing weight? I ordered Starch Solution but haven't received it yet so my meals have been ideas from your channel, Plantiful Kikki and others....not sure what Im doing???? Help!!!
You will experience water weight from previously lacking carbs but carbs are extremely difficult to turn into fat by the body and is rather used as a heat source (body heat) if too many carbs are eaten (can’t remember the name for this mechanism lol)
You’re sucka nerd…. I love it!!! Thank you for sharing and helping us all improve.
so you don't recommend working out if i'm just starting calorie defect?
hylu I think she meant exercise for health not weight loss.
Your girls are adorable!!
i miss the gym
Please does anyone knows her social media handle?
I've watched a few of your videos. Does your husband eat the way you eat, or are you needing to cook meat for him. Just wondering. My husband is still carnivore, and I cook meat every day for him, or every other day. The longer I eat whole food plant-based,and I am starting to really get grossed out cooking his meat. But have to keep both of us happy.
Hello there :) i was in a similar situation and i decided that if my husband wants to eat meat, he can prepare it for himself. Turned out plant based is better than it seemed at first to him :D
@@sandranaumann2073 - HA HA, love it! I only wish. If I told him I wouldn't cook it, he'd just go to the restaurant and let me eat by myself. That's how adamant he is about not even just trying it. He's a bullhead. Thanks.
Please up your proteins. For your hormones and skin.
i have left a lot of comments but you never respond?
I’m just starting like a week and half ago. I feel more swollen. Or maybe bloated, I don’t know. Someone talk to me here lol
You may be having a reaction to the increase in veggies. That passed within a few days for me. It was a lot of gas.
Lucinda Fender that def could be it, it is a lot better then it was the first few days. I think I just need to stay with and let my body keep wondering WHAT IS HAPPENING. Lol
I have a question, I hope its not too personal.. I was just googling "permanent body changes after pregnancy" and really freaked out! Since you've had children I'm wondering if you could share.. I can see you got your body back in terms of weight which is great, however, has your body changed? Is it really as scary as it sounds? One of the things that scared me the most was that not only the hips can get wider but also the waistline (regardless of excess weight) and my waist is my favorite part of my body, i would hate that so much.. maybe other people here can share as well.. thanks!
It just depends on how you take care of yourself during pregnancy and after and your genetics. Some things you just can't help...your chest gets bigger for nursing, and your hips do get a little wider...but you get the opportunity to pass a human through them!!! They have to get wider! Its just a new chapter in your life after kids: some good things, some bad things, and just different things. But they are WORTH IT!
every woman is different and every pregnancy is different so it's hard to predict, though how pregnancies went for women in your family could give you a hint. going back to pre-pregnancy weight is really a small part of it, what changes mostly is that you have very little time to take care of yourself. for me for example I am dealing with back/neck pain because of breastfeeding and how babies sat on my pelvis that tilted it so I need to do specific exercises and PT but don't always have time lol. I have a baby and a toddler now, I did PT after my first and everything went back to normal so I think eventually I'll fix this one too. I would say the most important thing is to find a good provider that you really feel comfortable with and it won't be scary. pregnancy is a huge change--physical, mental, emotional--but it can also be beautiful. the births of my two kids were the best moments in my life and I would definitely wish that to anyone who wanted kids.
I had four daughters and my body did change. Wider hips but now I'm losing weight I'm noticing I have more of a hourglass shape instead being a straight plank shape. And my boobs aren't as small and perky anynore. Nothing a good bra can fix 😉 I'm pretty proud of my body. It has carried four kids who are healthy and thriving. I appreciate it even more now I got diagnosed with PCOS and it's not even possible to have babies anymore without medical help. I didn't know my body would change like that and I would lie if I didn't tell you I was shocked by it because every woman I knew just bounced back like that. But I really started to love my new shape over time.
thank you girls for the replies! appreciated
And that's where those abs come from!
I know it may not seem like it Chelsea, but when you make comments about what you “can’t” eat around your daughters they listen. This in time, could lead to disordered feelings around food for them in the future. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and god bless your family.
I like your channel, which I just discovered,YOU are natural and real! And you make great recipes. however, I see that you put beef stock in your food, and now I see you say you are vegan ...🦧
Maybe yoga is for you. Builds body strength 💪
I wish my kids would eat this. When I make stuff like this, they dont eat :( advice? Leave them starve and eat cereals? Lol
I am so there with you on that one! It’s so hard isn’t it.
I find the music far too loud and aggressive this time
love you still, of course^^
Your kids are so cute
Loving your videos! I have never had a lemonade fruit! Is it natural or a hybrid!? Sounds yummy!
Kissez! L♡R
@xxkandikissez
Please take the stickers off the steamer!🙄
Music too loud !
Serious question, why would you go to a gym to work out if you don’t enjoy it? That is surely self abuse? Why would anyone do that to themselves when there are literally so many other ways to keep fit? This is such a terrible message, you might as well say eat then throw up to keep your weight down because you might not like it, but if you stick to it you’ll get the results 🤷🏽♀️ it’s just a bit confusing when I thought this channel was about good health - maybe that’s my mistake, I should have realised it’s just another get fit stay slim at any cost video :(
p.s. I am autistic and generally see/experience the world in a different way to most people so maybe this is normal for most people 🤷🏽♀️ I enjoy these videos so I’m just going to assume that it’s normal and not damaging for most people
It’s pretty normal to do things that are good for you that you don’t enjoy.
I don’t mind it when I’m there, I don’t hate it but I’d much rather stay in bed.
Just like I’d much rather eat junk food, never work, never clean up my house and neglect my responsibilities.
Part of being a mature adult is doing worthwhile activities even if you don’t love them in the moment. 😊
@@ChelseaMae ahhh, that makes perfect sense, thank you 🙏🏽 autistic people don’t mature in the same way as neurotypical people do and because I have PDA (pathological demand avoidance) as well, it’s perfectly normal for me to not have or to not live up to responsibility’s and as an autistic person I think everyone thinks like me which is why I ask so many questions but you answered that so thoroughly, thank you, again, although it makes me feel like a useless human being 😭😭😭 I wish I could be normal and not autistic but thank you, people like yourself who take the time to answer my questions really help otherwise I’m just a frustrated mess trying to work things out in my own rigid mind 🙏🏽 I’ve just seen you doing pull ups in another video 😍 ~ one of my life goals ~ so the gym is definitely paying off as I think it is good to have a strong body 💪🏽
I also do all those things you said such as staying in bed, never cleaning my house, neglecting responsibilities but I’m not keen on junk food as it makes me feel like shit but I am working hard on trying to get out of bed and clean my house and what you said has made me think I’m going to try harder as I actually do enjoy exercise and feel happier when I do it 👍🏽 thanks for the help
