I'm going to do all of them because I do most of them anyway. I will however simplify my meals. I love your simplicity. I want to adopt that more. I just re-watched the video and wrote down your 10 hacks and realized that I just have to adopt your rolling prep system, choose 3-4 weightloss dinners and move more and I've got this! Already went through the fail phase so I'm sure I will again however I'm pressing on. Thanks ChelseaMae. Love your content! 😍
A video idea is to do a session with somebody new that wants to start to implement this things into their lifes and see what kind of barriers there are and help that person out. I get the tips but finds it hard to how to implement them into my life.
Thank you Chels! Your breakdown of these hacks help make this seem doable. 1. Eat a load of potatoes 2. Eat at least a pound of veggies per day 3. Cut out oil 4. Create a rolling prep system 5. Choose 3-4 core weight loss dinners 6. Start eating oats every day 7. Weigh yourself everyday 8. Stop obsessing over dresssings 9. Move more 10. Adopt a fail fast mindset
I feel embarrassed to say, while I am not really struggling with my weight (I lost over 80lbs and have kept if off for over ten years), but I have always struggled with hunger. In the past month, I’ve added (more) potatoes and find myself *needing* my evening snack less and less. Thanks for the life hack 🥔🍠💪🏻
I used to weigh weekly and I found it so detrimental because there would be such high fluctuations and I would be confused. When I started weighing daily, I got to understand my normal fluctuations from my cycle, eating more, water, exercise etc and instead of making me obsessive, it empowered me because I understood what was going on! Wish I had learned this earlier
Thank you for this video, I'm literally crying right now. I'm so disheartened from all my failed efforts (I'm 59 so there's been a lot). I used to eat oats every day till I heard they were the reason I couldn't lose weight. I love oats, I'm going to start eating oats again! Thank you for giving me new hope... I also do love a good potato!
Chelsea since watching your recent vids, I now boil potatoes in the morning while I make my porridge 🥔🥔 I then either snack on them instead of something processed or add them to my dinner later. Game changer 💚
My hack is i walk in the apartment when it is raining or REALLY cold outside, so i just do a 40 minute walk back and forth in the apartment 2 times each day, even do leg raises and air squats at home, it does not need to be a costly treadmill being purchased, if you walk with shoes on and they hurt try walking with no shoes or socks on vacuum if you got a messy floor to avoid slipping or issues. i use my PC and have music playing on that while i do the walking, already lost 3kg over the last 2 weeks from purely walking, and i upped my Protein intake to avoid Muscles being the first thing to decrease, eating the same as i usually do.
I have been following many of your tips for the past month. I’m loving how satisfied I feel eating so many veggies, and the rolling prep has been the life hack I’ve always needed! I’ve finally won my battle with the binge! The tweaks I’ve had to make are the tofu and the oats- my digestive system doesn’t handle beans or grains well. I’ve replaced the tofu with local, pastured, organic chicken breast that I prepare without oil in my air fryer, and replaced the oats with eggs (from my backyard hens) and winter squash, and I now feel like my diet is exactly right for me. I appreciate you for inspiring me to make these small but HUGE changes Chelsea! Thank you from Ohio:)
I recently started eating beans after a lifetime of never eating them because it made me so bloated. I learned that you need to boil once, dump the water, rinse, then boil again. If they're canned, I rinse them really well then boil. No more tummy upsets!
Been binging your videos this week! Been on a several month plateau, and finally breaking it. Your habits and simplicity are life changing. Your positivity and grit to keep pushing towards your goals is admirable, thank you for sharing your story and knowledge. ✨👏
Hey Chelsea, I just want to express gratitude for everything that you do, your content is absolutely phenomenal! ❤ I am completely obsessed with your channel! I am a 33 y.o female, 6 years vegan, who is a former binge eater. I lost quite a lot of weight and I am now overall in a really good shape however I am still working on my relationship with food. I am on my journey to figure out my diet and I have been learning so much from you. Thank you so much! I sincerely think that your channel is the best weight loss/diet channel on UA-cam
this needs so many more views! subscribed♥ i've been doing almost exactly everything you talked about before i came across your video and lost 20kg so far. potatoes really are a life saver. i also do intermittent fasting from around 6-7pm till 9-10am and i weigh myself fasted in the morning. im in a plateau right now for the past couple of weeks that's why i clicked but ill get back on track. "fail faster" is super motivating
Cold pressed oliveoil is very healthy. Do not be afraid of that kind of fat. I eat small portion with a little oliveoil and I have lost 58 kg in a year plus. From 115 to 57 kg. Doing lite exercise. I eat oat porridge ones a week. Fresh herbs everyday, salat, No potatoes. No bread due to intolerance. Fruit, various nuts, dried fruit.
Sorry you are wrong it’s too calorie dense as Chelsea said. Instead of those calories you can eat more nutritious foods. Oil is not a natural product the olives it is squeezed out of are what you should e at.
Cold pressed olive oil is an easy way to add healthy fat and antioxidants to your diet if your meal happens to lack it with your available ingredients. 1 tablespoon in 1 meal, like a salad, for the day isn’t going to cause anyone to gain weight as long as you adjust your calorie allowance for your other meals accordingly. No food is going to make you gain weight when eaten in moderation. Key word: moderation.
@@dj.h7424 It most definitely does not meet the definition of a true empty calorie food due to the fact it is not devoid of nutritional value. Edit: Cold pressed olive oil that is, as that is what OP specifically mentioned.
And vinegars! There are so many wonderful flavors! I typically make a quick dressing. A good one is lemon, garlic, salt, maple syrup or stevia drops, and salt. You can add a little evoo too. ❤
This video is so helpful! I have been a vegan for years and have lost weight successfully in the past, but since 2020, I have completed menopause, and got a desk job, and have gained 20 pounds! I'm determined to lose it and feel good in my own body again. I signed up for a personal trainer at the gym and I AM COMMITTED! Thank you for these tips to help me on my weight loss / health journey.
I love seeing this. I've been on a very low carb diet with intermittent fasting and have gotten fantastic results. I've been documenting it here on UA-cam, and in doing so find it so interesting to watch other people's weight loss journeys. It sounds like you did almost the opposite of the diet I have been doing and kept it off! That's amazing. It just goes to show how all sorts of plans can work super well for different people. Potatoes are my all time favorite food...any form.
This is exactly the kind of real, actionable advice I’ve been looking for! The idea of creating a simple rolling prep system for easy, low-calorie meals is brilliant. I feel more confident about getting started now!
I was diagnosed with heart failure last week and my first lifestyle change is my diet. I've eaten a 75% vegan diet for the past year (I occasionally use cheese and butter) but its included all the Impossible and Beyond meat substitutes which I know aren't super healthy. I'm switching over to beans, legumes, tofu and tempeh as my main protein sources. I've also decided to stop counting macros and trust my hunger cues for a while. My 1lb of veggies will probably be cabbage, it's so versatile!
Wooo! Just noticed you're over 100k subscribers here now! That is what consistency will do! Super proud of you! And still loving all of your videos, five years later!
I actually really appreciate the repetitive content. I need the reminder that i am overcomplicating eating again and am making it too hard. You keep saying simplify and i need to hear it every time. Also, for sauce i just make potato and nutritional yeast "cheese" or thin out some hummus gor a dressing
Just wanted to say thank you for your videos they are so uplifting. I struggle with consistency due to my mental health and AUDHD so this really helps and I'm going to try these. God bless 🙏💗
Love to listen and refocus with videos like this please keep making more of this content!! It helps keep me on track! Thank you so much for all your knowledge!! I also was wondering if you would ever consider making a video on how you implement the atomic habits into your business routines. I’ve learned so much from how you have implemented with diet and would be super interested to see some business examples personal to you!
Best thing I ever did was reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, after applying the knowledge I got from the book I feel like the cellulite is magically disappearing from my body

I would absolutely LOVE to see different recipes for veggie sides. Yours look so delicious and I think that would help me with actually meal prepping in some capacity !!
Content GOLD! Love all the 10 hacks here. The plant based diet, starch solution and WFPB principles plus normalizing the ‘ease’ of meal prepping makes this all sooo doable and non overwhelming! Thank you for this amazing video, Chelsea!
Oats always makes me feel starved a while after eating 🥣 never had that full feeling on oats, i know oats its for some a big hunger trigger. I eat greek fat free yoghurt insted and feel much better and not starved. Great video 👍🏼
I agree even whit protein its still a trigger. And all the toppings is also just a trigger and adding calories… i know oats/porridge work fine for most but for some its just gonna make you more hungry. I been dieting for years for bodybuilding competitions and have tryed alot of different diets/scheduales… I tryed eating oats everyday for weeks until i almost lost my Will to live… switching to eggs and yougurt made ALL the differense, not feeling hungry having my stomach growl 5 min later.
Love 🥰 this awesome video Chelsea and eat lots of vegetables including potatoes and avoid oil as much as possible. I prefer whole plant foods over oil. Love 💕 Chelsea & family.
Love your videos Chelsea!! You are so helpful. I follow most of your top 10, but i definitely need to move more. I've lost 30 pounds but need to lose 40 more and it's a bit of a struggle. But i keep pushing on 😊
Thank you for the tips, I will def. Implement the potatoes hack and the veggies hack, also the no dressing and oil hack. Fingers crossed I also have 40lbs to loose 😊
About oats: you can also make them savory. I like them with pesto (especially tomato pesto), or curry paste and coconut milk. Also, you can mix in maybe 5-10% chia and flaxseeds into the oatmeal for extra nutrition, including omega-3s.
My dressing is dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, herbes de Provence and freshly ground pepper. Before using the salad bowl, I wipe it out with half a garlic clove. (This is a recipe from France)
Hi! Thanks for the video. I don’t usually comment but I’m glad I stayed on till tip no. 10! I’m commenting because of that! I needed to hear that. Thank you. 🙏🏽💖
Boy oh boy, I needed to hear all this again! I love how you focus on doing things that make life easier. I'm going to focus on the store bought hummus and eating potatoes and a veggie at every lunch and dinner. I love your opinion on weighing. I thrive on weighing myself regularly. In the past, on various group programs, the rule was to not weigh more than once a week, and that drove me crazy. I just like and need the feedback. I don't mind seeing the fluctuations.
I have a dilemma in my household where i am trying to maintain weight loss and gain muscle so i eat a lot of veggies and try to keep a lower calorie density. My wife on the other hand is someone who struggles to gain weight and is an athlete so she is very active and sometimes becomes underweight so she is trying to have a higher calorie density and includes oil and processed food in her diet to try and keep her weight in a healthy range. She also hates soup & oatmeal while i love them so there are times where i make those just for me. I am also 100% vegan and she is not, probably about 75% plant based. We've made it work but its definitely been a challenge.
Chucking sweet juicy fruit (e.g. sweet orange, mango, etc.) into a salad (along with a little bit of avocado (e.g. 1/4) if you're OK with it) plus fresh herbs can create a sort of dressing just by tossing the salad.
I like most of your tips, except about the benefits of olive oil, I use too avoid all fats but my doctor explained that our brain needs heathy fats. Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which is known to reduce inflammation and may have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer. It contains a variety of antioxidants that can help protect against chronic diseases by reducing oxidative stress. The antioxidants in olive oil, particularly oleocanthal, have been shown to mimic the effects of ibuprofen in reducing inflammation. Regular consumption of olive oil is associated with improved heart health, including lower cholesterol levels and reduced risk of heart disease. Some studies suggest that olive oil intake is linked to a reduced risk of strokes, the second largest killer in developed countries. The antioxidants in olive oil may help prevent cancer by reducing oxidative damage to cells. Certain compounds in olive oil, such as oleuropein, have antibacterial properties and can inhibit or kill harmful bacteria.
Olive oil helps protect us from the solanins in potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini-which is why the greeks drench these veggies in olive oul before roasting them. It also protects us from the lectins in legumes.
Great tips Chelsea. I am skinny fat and desperately trying to loose these last 5kg. Will give it a try. By the way how many g of protein do you consume more or less. Thanks for all the motivation and tips. You look great!
Hi chelseamae, thank you so much for ya amazing videos out of all the people I watch on here , I relate to you the most 😁 as a woman of 50 going through per menopause does all the same Principles apply? I'm in a house of meat eaters trying to break out to plant base and am finding it hard to maintain!! but your videos are helping a lot 😁
Hi! I’m also in a family of meat eaters and in post-menopause - Chelsea’s tips work amazingly for me! Give it a try and enjoy those big plates of colorful food 😊
What’s a good replacement for vegeta in the states? Also, would love more tips/recipes for prepping veg so they don’t become boring! What salad dressing do you use if you’re avoiding oil? Thank you!!
WOW! Good tips. Thank you! Fail faster?! I've never heard that before now.....I'm Implementing a few of these starting tomorrow especially the 'Fail faster'. ❤
when I make crock pot chicken breast with potato and cabbage I always noticed a one or two day weight loss after I eat it I think if I combine this meal with a rolling veggie prep routine I think I’ll might do better
I use Needlers grocery (in the states) hot salsa on salads and veggies instead of oil or dressing it's hot salsa so revs metabolism and only 10 calories per tablespoon plus you get loads of flavor and extra veggies
For lunch I’m by myself and component bowls work, but when I cook dinner for my family I want to eat some of it as well. It’s WFPB SOS free and usually more of a sauce. It is higher in calories with nuts because the rest of my family needs it😁 I would love some ideas on how to incorporate more veg with a family meal 😊
That was very helpful, thank you! I especially need to drastically reduce oil, I think. I don‘t really struggle with my weight but I have noticed that I am putting on extra pounds over time, like 2 a year (I am 47), and I want that to stop before it adds up too much.
I make my oatmeal with chocolate almond meal, ground flax, stevia, a small scoop of powdered peanut butter, and a quarter cup mix of almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and tiny bits of dried mango. SO delicious and satisfying.
I love overnight oats , I measure my oats because I’m trying portion control here and I do add fruit nuts and seeds and protein powder as well , I don’t feel hungry after and easily make it past lunch time no problems , I enjoy Greek salads at dinner time with a meat proteins such as chicken , fish , steak etc , those are portion controlled as well and I’m cutting fat and oils butters all that high calorie stuff gone , now the naughty foods for snacks is my down fall , I go really good for a while then I cave in and yet I eat pretty good other than that , so annoying.
I’m gonna put it all into action because I’ve been doing a potato reset my problem is I’m almost 60 and besides my part-time mail route getting in and out of my van I’m not very active due to some health problems back problems, more or less and muscle skeletal issues according to my scalemy body only needs 1300 cal a day so to be deficient is hard to have three meals😢
I am struggling with this AGAIN. I've lost 50-60lbs probably 10 times in my lifetime. The last time I started fasting. Fasting was amazing and I felt great but keto high fat low carb made me feel not so great. Then binging started and derailed everything after keeping weight off for 2 yrs. 4 yrs later and I gained it all back. (thankfully not more.) I ended up doing eating disorder treatment. If only I had added healthy carbs. I've been sidelined with a knee problem for the last yr, but I am ready to get back on track. I do a lot of vegetables already, doing the blueprint diet a lot, making a lot of soups, beans and lentils. Giving up olive oil with that may be tough. Starting with oats daily, then potatoes. Then tofu meal prep. I've done every type of diet except, meat. No meat for 37 yrs, so I can't wait to make tofu like you do.
I've gained 25 lbs over the last 2 years. So i realized its approximately a 1lb a month. So that's an extra 3500 a month. So thats like 875 a week. Which comes down to literally an extra 125 calories EVERYDAY over what my maintenance calories are. Y'all an extra 100 calories adds up!!!!!!!!!!! Which is 1 tbsp of oil.
The potatoes look delicious,could you please share how you cook them? Also, as I'm sure you know, potatoes get a bad rap a lot of times because of the high carbs, you have obviously done a great job at losing weight. Could you please share your thoughts on eating carbs during weight loss and maintenance? Thank you.
Which of these 10 hacks are you going to give a try?
I'm going to do all of them because I do most of them anyway. I will however simplify my meals. I love your simplicity. I want to adopt that more. I just re-watched the video and wrote down your 10 hacks and realized that I just have to adopt your rolling prep system, choose 3-4 weightloss dinners and move more and I've got this!

I have been doing all of it but the top is the rolling prep. I am a busy working mom and it works great for me. I need to work on my dressings 😊
Do you eat rice and pasta? And yes decision paralysis I get that!
@@loro9329she eats both in the vid! But half the plate is veg to balance it out
A video idea is to do a session with somebody new that wants to start to implement this things into their lifes and see what kind of barriers there are and help that person out. I get the tips but finds it hard to how to implement them into my life.

Need a protien source with oats, like cottage cheese. Anchor all your meals with protien.
Eat it as oat porridge made with milk and water
For me, oats make me extremely hungry, even with protein source
I agree even whit protein its still a trigger. And all the toppings is also just a trigger and adding calories… i know oats/porridge work fine for most but for some its just gonna make you more hungry.
I been dieting for years for bodybuilding competitions and have tryed alot of different diets/scheduales…
I tryed eating oats everyday for weeks until i almost lost my Will to live… switching to eggs and yougurt made ALL the differense, not feeling hungry having my stomach growl 5 min later.
Love 🥰 this awesome video Chelsea and eat lots of vegetables including potatoes and avoid oil as much as possible. I prefer whole plant foods over oil. Love 💕 Chelsea & family.
Love your videos Chelsea!! You are so helpful. I follow most of your top 10, but i definitely need to move more. I've lost 30 pounds but need to lose 40 more and it's a bit of a struggle. But i keep pushing on 😊
Thank you for the tips, I will def. Implement the potatoes hack and the veggies hack, also the no dressing and oil hack. Fingers crossed I also have 40lbs to loose 😊
About oats: you can also make them savory. I like them with pesto (especially tomato pesto), or curry paste and coconut milk. Also, you can mix in maybe 5-10% chia and flaxseeds into the oatmeal for extra nutrition, including omega-3s.
Fail faster. Decide quicker. Love that!
GREAT Video!! 4,6,and 10 for me!
I make a dressing with soy milk, potato and spices! Easy peasy and delicious. Just a tblsp. is enough for a huge salad.
Will try this combination. Never heard of this before. Thanks.
My dressing is dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, herbes de Provence and freshly ground pepper. Before using the salad bowl, I wipe it out with half a garlic clove. (This is a recipe from France)
Hi! Thanks for the video.
I don’t usually comment but I’m glad I stayed on till tip no. 10! I’m commenting because of that! I needed to hear that. Thank you. 🙏🏽💖
Boy oh boy, I needed to hear all this again! I love how you focus on doing things that make life easier. I'm going to focus on the store bought hummus and eating potatoes and a veggie at every lunch and dinner.
I love your opinion on weighing. I thrive on weighing myself regularly. In the past, on various group programs, the rule was to not weigh more than once a week, and that drove me crazy. I just like and need the feedback. I don't mind seeing the fluctuations.
I have a dilemma in my household where i am trying to maintain weight loss and gain muscle so i eat a lot of veggies and try to keep a lower calorie density. My wife on the other hand is someone who struggles to gain weight and is an athlete so she is very active and sometimes becomes underweight so she is trying to have a higher calorie density and includes oil and processed food in her diet to try and keep her weight in a healthy range. She also hates soup & oatmeal while i love them so there are times where i make those just for me. I am also 100% vegan and she is not, probably about 75% plant based. We've made it work but its definitely been a challenge.
Now try having a buncha kids with different needs and preferences 😅 I don't know HOW people plan meals! It's exhausting!!
"Fail Faster" is brilliant! Thanks!
Chucking sweet juicy fruit (e.g. sweet orange, mango, etc.) into a salad (along with a little bit of avocado (e.g. 1/4) if you're OK with it) plus fresh herbs can create a sort of dressing just by tossing the salad.
So do you use ANY form of fat in your diet? Cheese? Avocado?
This is EXTREMELY helpful! :)
I like most of your tips, except about the benefits of olive oil, I use too avoid all fats but my doctor explained that our brain needs heathy fats.
Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which is known to reduce inflammation and may have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer.
It contains a variety of antioxidants that can help protect against chronic diseases by reducing oxidative stress.
The antioxidants in olive oil, particularly oleocanthal, have been shown to mimic the effects of ibuprofen in reducing inflammation.
Regular consumption of olive oil is associated with improved heart health, including lower cholesterol levels and reduced risk of heart disease.
Some studies suggest that olive oil intake is linked to a reduced risk of strokes, the second largest killer in developed countries.
The antioxidants in olive oil may help prevent cancer by reducing oxidative damage to cells.
Certain compounds in olive oil, such as oleuropein, have antibacterial properties and can inhibit or kill harmful bacteria.
Olive oil helps protect us from the solanins in potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini-which is why the greeks drench these veggies in olive oul before roasting them. It also protects us from the lectins in legumes.
Great tips Chelsea. I am skinny fat and desperately trying to loose these last 5kg. Will give it a try. By the way how many g of protein do you consume more or less. Thanks for all the motivation and tips. You look great!
also exercise, increase 1 rep each day eg sit-ups, squats, you be amazed how much stronger and tighter things feel after a month
Great tips. Totally unique and doable. Thanks.
I went to buy broccoli 🥦 and I'm cooking up tators tmrw. Thanks for the motivation loving your content and sensible advice
Straight to the point and full of knowledge. Thank you!
Taking accurate notes. I love avocados. Now I know what to do thanks!
I'm going to try this🥰❤Thank you!
Great video, I’m a fan!
Great video! Thank you for the hard work to produce this informational yet positive content!!
Hi chelseamae, thank you so much for ya amazing videos out of all the people I watch on here , I relate to you the most 😁 as a woman of 50 going through per menopause does all the same Principles apply? I'm in a house of meat eaters trying to break out to plant base and am finding it hard to maintain!! but your videos are helping a lot 😁
Hi! I’m also in a family of meat eaters and in post-menopause - Chelsea’s tips work amazingly for me! Give it a try and enjoy those big plates of colorful food 😊
Wrote down these tips in my red root chakra weight loss journal to have tips and enjoy and educate myself and others especially my family. ❤❤❤
What’s a good replacement for vegeta in the states?
Also, would love more tips/recipes for prepping veg so they don’t become boring!
What salad dressing do you use if you’re avoiding oil?
Thank you!!
The most useful video I’ve seen!
Wow I watched 2 min so far and this was so helpful advice ❤
WOW! Good tips. Thank you! Fail faster?! I've never heard that before now.....I'm Implementing a few of these starting tomorrow especially the 'Fail faster'. ❤
One of the best videos !!
Amazing tips❤❤😊
when I make crock pot chicken breast with potato and cabbage I always noticed a one or two day weight loss after I eat it I think if I combine this meal with a rolling veggie prep routine I think I’ll might do better
That is the best video ever. really !
Thank you for your awesome ideas,definitely going to give it a go.
I use Needlers grocery (in the states) hot salsa on salads and veggies instead of oil or dressing it's hot salsa so revs metabolism and only 10 calories per tablespoon plus you get loads of flavor and extra veggies
How do you cut down on oil? Just a spray or how do you prep your pan?
Great content! Mega thanks from the USA 🇺🇸
Starting tomorrow morning!!
Thank you. 10 reminders, very helpful. A video of 14 veg Mel's would be great
For lunch I’m by myself and component bowls work, but when I cook dinner for my family I want to eat some of it as well. It’s WFPB SOS free and usually more of a sauce. It is higher in calories with nuts because the rest of my family needs it😁 I would love some ideas on how to incorporate more veg with a family meal 😊
Most helpful Video
I wanna try all of them just wondering where butter stands instead of oil
WOW
THIS IS GOOD AND USEFUL INFORMATION!
THANK YOU!
Thanks for this organized and helpful video
Man I love anything healthy and easy peasy. Thx for that tip
I want to see that!!!
Whst was the cabbage dish???? At 4min
I make creamy dressings/mayo with silken tofu as the base, and just add spices/herbs, and lemon juice or vinegar.
I take notes 📝 That salad dressing is a good point and I will not use it anymore. Also I will use these all tips 🤩
I love your videos, you're so motovating. And look great!
This is very helpful thank you for the advice!
You are spot on with this advice. KISS.. just keep it simple. Thank you!
That was very helpful, thank you! I especially need to drastically reduce oil, I think. I don‘t really struggle with my weight but I have noticed that I am putting on extra pounds over time, like 2 a year (I am 47), and I want that to stop before it adds up too much.
Carleigh Bodrug’s PlantYou cookbook is great with all oil-free recipe ideas. I use her oil free hummus recipe all the time and it’s so good!
Sometimes you just need a video like this to motivate you and give you a bit of a kick up the arse 🤣
I make my oatmeal with chocolate almond meal, ground flax, stevia, a small scoop of powdered peanut butter, and a quarter cup mix of almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and tiny bits of dried mango. SO delicious and satisfying.
I love overnight oats , I measure my oats because I’m trying portion control here and I do add fruit nuts and seeds and protein powder as well , I don’t feel hungry after and easily make it past lunch time no problems , I enjoy Greek salads at dinner time with a meat proteins such as chicken , fish , steak etc , those are portion controlled as well and I’m cutting fat and oils butters all that high calorie stuff gone , now the naughty foods for snacks is my down fall , I go really good for a while then I cave in and yet I eat pretty good other than that , so annoying.
I’m gonna put it all into action because I’ve been doing a potato reset my problem is I’m almost 60 and besides my part-time mail route getting in and out of my van I’m not very active due to some health problems back problems, more or less and muscle skeletal issues according to my scalemy body only needs 1300 cal a day so to be deficient is hard to have three meals😢
Thank you ❤
The woollies brand non fat salad dressings, both French and Balsamic, are 13 calories for 20g tablespoon. And delicious.
This made me go to the shops
I am struggling with this AGAIN. I've lost 50-60lbs probably 10 times in my lifetime. The last time I started fasting. Fasting was amazing and I felt great but keto high fat low carb made me feel not so great. Then binging started and derailed everything after keeping weight off for 2 yrs. 4 yrs later and I gained it all back. (thankfully not more.) I ended up doing eating disorder treatment. If only I had added healthy carbs. I've been sidelined with a knee problem for the last yr, but I am ready to get back on track. I do a lot of vegetables already, doing the blueprint diet a lot, making a lot of soups, beans and lentils. Giving up olive oil with that may be tough. Starting with oats daily, then potatoes. Then tofu meal prep. I've done every type of diet except, meat. No meat for 37 yrs, so I can't wait to make tofu like you do.
Made bircher instead of quick oats for breakfast. 2 days now. SO FULL ALL DAY 😮
All stocked up on veggies and potatoes but steady with no cravings for now. Starting to track calories today. Will start weighing tomorrow.
I've gained 25 lbs over the last 2 years. So i realized its approximately a 1lb a month. So that's an extra 3500 a month. So thats like 875 a week. Which comes down to literally an extra 125 calories EVERYDAY over what my maintenance calories are. Y'all an extra 100 calories adds up!!!!!!!!!!! Which is 1 tbsp of oil.
The potatoes look delicious,could you please share how you cook them? Also, as I'm sure you know, potatoes get a bad rap a lot of times because of the high carbs, you have obviously done a great job at losing weight.
Could you please share your thoughts on eating carbs during weight loss and maintenance? Thank you.
Yes, yes, yes!! Awesome hacks!!
You can still use dressings without fat (eg orange or lemon juice with some salt and pepper) and/or season your salad with dry spices and salt
