My 12 Healthy Habits I’m Bringing into 2025 *that helped me lose 40 lbs*

[@Hannah-uu4vy]

"You dont need more recipes, you need to eat a potato!" 😂 I'll remember this every time I want to buy another recipe book.

[@ajohonly3721]

I get sweet potatoes 🍠 and mixed with vegetables and it keeps me full for so long.

[@aimeeclark228]

I’ve been a personal trainer, for over 15 years… I am 52, going on 53, am a mom, and a new grandma! .. my clients are always looking for the quick fix… I try to tell them, they have the tools they need, right in their belt, or in their head, they just need to apply them… yes, it’s about applying habits, and also consistency… and being accountable to yourself… keeping a journal, is also helpful in keeping yourself accountable and honest..👍🤗🙏❤️love your videos!..👍🤗❤️❤️

[@cynthianorris5418]

I love all of your plant based cooking ideas!!! Thank you for your content. You have given me so many great tips for healthy eating!!!❤

[@NguyenVinhHang]

A pound of veggies and herbs 🌿 is something I can do immediately. Thank you Chelsea, healthy habits takes planning and actions! 🤗

[@maggiecu3657]

Great video! This is stuff I can actually do. Also, don't sleep on frozen veggies because they are nutritionally the same or better than fresh and they make life so easy. I've been buying frozen broccoli and green beans and it's such a timesaver.

[@juliadomschke8927]

One simple environmental change that I made today: I ate all remaining Christmas cookies, so they don't tempt me in the future 😂

[@robinhart1390]

Wowsa Chelsea, this is your best video so far! Super clear, informational and inspiring❣️

[@betsymcmurray727]

All great habits, thank you so much! And boy are you right about the 12th habit - ACTION! I'm so guilty of the planning and watching but not the action. I'm going to change this now!

[@bethupton385]

Me too

[@jess7722]

This is where I get stuck too 😅

[@jodibillingsley]

Same. I love planning. And this was such an eye-opening realization that I need to take more action.

[@maryellenbunce7751]

I am going to brush my teeth after every meal. Creating a barrier against grazing and snacks

[@buffliece5261]

I rid the house of Christmas leftovers and put the decor up. Prepped pickled onions. Prepping potatoes and some veggies tomorrow after shopping. My workout videos are set in place place. Going to use the next week to troubleshoot perceived obstacles. Whooo hooo.... dopamine hit!!

[@ramonathiessen167]

❤be a person who keeps promises to yourself!

[@emmaharling6337]

Been watching your vids and creating new habits since early November. Life changing! So easy and enjoyable! Mum of 6 homeschool kids and this has freed up an incredible amount of brain space and time to do the things i really care about. Excellent system. Thank you very much!

[@bethdeason5002]

I couldn’t agree more!!! Good on you both! I’m a grandma of 65 and started this ACTION PLAN before Christmas. Thanks Chels!!!

[@SusanKessler-c8n]

You are fantastic Chelsea!! Thank you for all your videos!!! This video is so motivating! I've prepared my potatoes and sweet potatoes tonight and they are in the fridge. I'm ready to eat a pound of non starchy veggies every day. The exercise is my hardest thing to achieve but I'm going to start walking on my treadmill tomorrow! I'll keep you posted!

[@DollarsandCollars]

Wow this is SOOO GOOD! I’ve been going back and forth on what I should do for my eating habits like intermittent fasting and only eating raw foods, but eating a potato daily sounds like a luxury and I will for sure implement this! Last night I charged my phone downstairs and didn’t scroll for an hour+ and instead went to the gym and did a walk. On my walk I told myself “ok, you did a marathon a few months ago, you can run 1/2 a mile”. It was small but I have really fallen off the wagon so that small 1/2 mile is a start! Going to stick to small goals as we close out 2024 and head into 2025 because I can really set unrealistic goals for myself and get overwhelmed. Not this year! I’m going to build trust and respect for myself. Thanks for this video!!

[@TonyaMay-v3i]

Hands down best video I have watched. This is so realistic and actionable. I am sharing with all of my peeps! Also, I have learned that when you cook a potato, refrigerate it, and then reheat it later, it turns into a resistant starch, which has all kinds of benefits. Just another great reason to consider batch cooking them. 😊

[@Megs-x5i]

Thank you Chelsea, great video. Component bowls and prepping for them are going to be my 2025 habits!!!

[@cynthiabelt442]

This is some AWESOME Advice!

[@i2sky532]

Holy cow. Christmas was wonderful, but also fraught with food I don't want to be convenient to me. So, time to clean it all out again

[@fjlroi]

i watched one of your videos yesterday and today i had oats for breakfast. winning!

[@janetpenney8397]

I need to get plastic box that holds a pound of raw veggies for my fridge. That's a great tip..great visual.

[@bethdeason5002]

Pound of veg is not that much. Visualize a pound of frozen green beans or broccoli or peas. It’s extremely doable!

[@NguyenVinhHang]

Or glass box 😊

[@barbarashirland9078]

Your videos are so helpful! I watch them on repeat.

[@helenkrane6313]

Awesome video, as always, I finally got myself a spiralizer, and used it to make zoodles for lunch and supper s is going to be fun!

[@annedevos8048]

I follow your advices and I took action last march 2024. I lost 10 kg and gained muscles 💪 Potatoes are the best and I run with my polar application and watch who tell me what to do everydays (today is mobility for exemple and I got a vidéo to follow in the app). The mat is always ready in a room dedicated and easy to access because I know I need that. My running shoes are close to the front door as a reminder. And I go 3 times/week. Thanks for your Chanel and advices to build habits ! ❤

[@becomingthyself621]

Im going to clean off my rebounder and start with just one minute.

[@Liudmyla-lf3te]

Thanks for all your advices, hood videos & motivation ❤

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Love 💕 Chelsea and this 🥰 channel with awesome videos including this one. Great encouraging and motivating video.

[@mary5305j]

The social obligations are where its so hard. I married into an arab family and dinners and cooking and serving food to others is a HUGE social obligation and happens so often. Its seen as rude to refuse the food or be picky about whats on the plate. Even saying "im full" after 1 plate is not accepted and youll have someone - sometimes not even the host - taking your plate and piling it back up with food. Most of the recipes include some form of meat or yogurt and lots of oil 😅 this will be probably the most difficult challenge of changing my eating habits

[@jilltinsley]

Love your videos & podcast!

[@doulalina]

This is good advice ❤ I think this is the only video I need to fix my life lol

[@leslieschmitt7749]

Thank you, thank you … great ideas! 😍

[@katelynnkennison5088]

I am going to get some potatoes and hummus from the grocery store tomorrow to bake ahead of time and have more regularly. I recently tried using hummus instead of butter or Greek yogurt for my baked potatoes and I found it so delicious!

[@luluandmeow]

You don't need yoghurt or hummus, try baking the potatoes without anything in the oven or air fryer, just add a bit of (coarse) salt and you're good to go. Both hummus and yoghurt are processed and moreish.

[@katelynnkennison5088]

@ your right I don’t need it but I prefer having something with my potatoes. If some sort of sauce, dip, cream, glaze, etc. helps me eat more of a vegetable that I otherwise might not have as much of completely plain. I use it.

[@suzy1335]

Try just squeezing some fresh lemon on your potatoes... yum!

[@karencooper5152]

try avocado

[@leonieduplessis4467]

Thanks Chelsea for great advice 😊

[@luluandmeow]

I've found that "component" bowls with a variety of food no longer work for me because everything has calories and variety makes you eat more, as many studies have shown. I've decided to stick to a 3-ingredient plate instead, e.g. potatos/kabocha squash and two veggies as I need to lose weight. I think this is what Chef AJ and Healthy Emmie eat too. Re: gyms, they're so depressing and you don't need them, start by following a good workout video, start small with stretching exercises, there are several good ones on YT which you can do at home, you only need a yoga mat and some weights.

[@tinajernigan1728]

I think a variety of foods can happen in a week long period. It doesn’t have to happen all in one meal. I think you have the right idea. Do what is right for your body.

[@rootedways]

Totally gonna try the walking into the gym thing - I’m great at getting there to do yoga classes but never do strength work. But at 49, I need to! And love the component bowl tip too 😊

[@MattJess0421]

So I’ve been contemplating this type of diet for awhile. While I watched your video I realized I was hungry, so I went a microwaved two small potatoes, topped it with a little hummus and some raw veggies. Dang you were right- I got super full on minimal calories. Couldn’t finish my tater.

[@heidiesimms2536]

Such great video! I need to lose 40 lbs too. Going to take action especially with the food prep. Need to take action to eat more vegetables. Thx!

[@karenstanton5405]

great reminders , l like it simple . thanks

[@Raddiebaddie]

YAY I love a new vid 🎉

[@SheilaR.08]

I absolutely love the book Tiny Habits by Stanford professor and researcher BJ Fogg. His research through the Stanford Behavior Design Lab is referenced in Atomic Habits, which borrows quite a bit from it.

[@Godblessed2]

People don’t want to sacrifice to lose those extra pounds. It cost something to eat five years into the future and store that in one’s body. We are not storage containers but we treat our body like one. Sacrificing some kinds of foods should be expected.

[@bethdeason5002]

Excellent points!!

[@pennyrosehandmade5276]

I hope this is ok to ask, I don’t mean any offence. For someone who eats meat, is there ANY way you can swap out meat (chicken/fish) for the tofu in your meals?

[@stargazerbird]

As long at is not fatty meat or fish it works just fine. Tofu is relatively high fat compared to skinless chicken breast and also lower protein. Prawns are brilliant for high protein as well. Even lean beef is good. Just avoid lamb and oily fish and the fattier cuts of beef and the chicken skin and thighs.

[@Nailam3at90]

Tell us more about your workouts

[@arcturianoracle784]

I use a potato express! I can make sweet potatoes in like record time 🍠💛

[@bethdeason5002]

Tell us more! ❤

[@geneebright8795]

Great tips!

[@onmyway7363]

Great advice

[@valeriejohnson2367]

Good talk!

[@tatyanagapeyeva1628]

Exactly 🎉

[@veronyc1]

Do you have an alternative to tofu? I have tried so many times but I just can't eat it.

[@tessajetta8146]

I want to do this , how can I get my stomach to tolerate vegetables?

[@hannaschrader1224]

Without knowing whether you've got preexisting health conditions I guess you just have to get used to them. Try eating small quantities first, maybe begin with mildly processed veggies (steamed for example), don't overuse on spices, mix veggies with foods you're used to. Aaaand don't get underwhelmed by the process, increasing the quantities of vegetables slowly is always going to be better than not eating any at all.

[@TeamDNABJJ]

Loved the video until you said use a microwave.

[@123________]

Are you in Australia good tips

[@jennygirlminer]

Putting potatoes in the oven right now!

[@rita.l.russell]

Eating potatoes and broccoli as I watch this…😁

[@rwheeler4156]

Best thing I could do for my environment is get rid of the sweets in the house. It's just not going to be easy.😅

[@Viowlett]

Thank you so much for your advice. I'm going to eat SO many potatoes in 2025

[@elsieann2424]

Me too! 😊🥔🍠

[@bethdeason5002]

😄😍 🥔

[@christinabrons6279]

Make bulk potatoes and lay my yoga mat out

[@sheilayoyo]

Where’s the interview with that guy please ?

[@Tatabinx]

I love you Chelsea but the plastic has got to go, even worse is the plastic in the microwave!! BPA free just means they replaced It with another endocrine disrupting chemical.

[@kerryannmoor5908]

I so agree about taters. Potatoes are my favourite food and this morning for breakfast (my main meal), I had sweet potato, homemade potato salad, nutmeat rolls and mega avo salad. Totally yum and proper food combining plus nutmeat is really high in vege protein.

[@lizelling3073]

Here’s my thing can anybody recommend a healthy dip or sauce I can put on my potatoes? 🥔

[@sharonoddlyenough]

If it were me, I would put anything on potatoes, considering that the bulk of the meal is potato, the toppings will be very little.

[@Whatworksthisworks]

Butter 🧈 and salt 🧂!

[@elainesteward3130]

Salsa is a great, healthy topping

[@stargazerbird]

I know it’s controversial here because it’s a vegan channel but you can do the same approach using lean protein like chicken breast and lower fat dairy and prawns and white fish. Instead of tofu and beans. Just a thought as there is a much bigger audience that really could learn from healthy vegans.

[@sweet-tee]

There is plenty of non vegan weight loss channels on YT you could post this on but yet here you are trying to make eating dead animal flesh relevant when its really not hence why they weren't mentioned in her video.

[@luluandmeow]

I've said this before (sorry!) but I find it depressing that you should eat while driving, this is not mindful eating and not safe either, concentrate on the driving and eating - separately

[@lorihaas5507]

I absolutely LOVE veggies, but I'm 52 and need to eat at least 100 grams of protien per day and I can't give up my animal protien. Great video hun. ❤❤❤❤

[@SheilaR.08]

I'm vegan and average 120 grams of protein or more each day.

[@MrBigbadboon]

Lmao typical blood drinkers response.

[@scienceislove2014]

I'm vegan (I'm a lot younger tho but my health has never been great and it's falling back in place..) and I get around 140 grams of protein a day.. (mostly from whole foods but I don't avoid protein powders..)

[@tinajernigan1728]

That extra protein is really hard on your kidneys. You need protein, but like anything else, too much is bad for you. 😊

[@serenityjewel]

​@tinajernigan1728 Older people need to eat more protein because the body's ability to utilize the protein we eat decreases as we age. A 50 year old body isn't as efficient as a 25 year old body.

[@lukaszbbbb]

Nothing Dr. John A. McDougall hasn't said 10 million times

[@elsieann2424]

Yay! Im a total Dr McDougall fan girl. 🎉

[@bethdeason5002]

They use to cal him Dr Potato 🥔 RIP
