My Vegan Meal Plan To Lose Fat Faster (Avoid THIS mistake!!)

[@ChelseaMae]

Which of these two are you working on right now? Lowering your day to day calories, or increasing consistency?Btw, here’s the fried rice recipe! I’ve been eating this for DAYS! So good!! www.chelseamae.com/VeganFriedRice

[@KathleenMurrayShadeQueen]

I’m working on consistency and increasing veggies. I love starch too much!

[@ELLIESHAY]

Lowering calories due to nighttime cravings!!! I’m good till bedtime then I feel the need for processed snacks. Like a drug addiction only it’s food lol 😢

[@marshellapowers1816]

Lowering calories in my meals by eating double the amount of veggies 🥦🫛🍆🌶️🥑🫒🌽 WOOHOO!!!! By the way, when you talk with your mouth full makes me crave more your amazing recipes 🤪🤪🤪Good for you that you don’t let those that are critical to bring you down. 💪🏼Your journey inspire many and this is a blessing. Thank you Chelsea💝

[@janecheek5093]

Both, unfortunately! I'll get there though. Thank you for this video!🙂

[@pauladumouchel-clay3328]

Increasing my consistency !

[@nancylarpenteur3444]

I'm 67 and my exercise consists of 30-40 minutes of walking every day. But, I started eating whole foods a week ago and have lost 3 1/2 pounds already. I like your concept of precooking meals to be consistent. Thanks for putting this channel out there. I know I need a support system but at my age I don't know any people that would want to join me in this lifestyle.

[@ellied618]

Congrats! Just as a suggestion.. you can look for meetup groups that focus on healthy lifestyle..a lot of times, you can find your age group or region. Even if you don’t actually meet up in person, these online friends can help encourage you, offer ideas based on what’s available in your region. Good luck!

[@julia______]

I'm down ten pounds since April eating veggies, fruit, potatoes, and rice 😁 plus running and weightlifting. Thanks for your great videos!

[@julia______]

And oats! How could I forget oats.

[@ChelseaMae]

Amazing! Well done!!

[@oksanakaido8437]

No legumes? I would think you'd need to focus a bit more on protein if actively running and weightlifting.

[@scienceislove2014]

Legumes and beans are literally superfoods... Why avoid em?

[@julia______]

The bean police is on my tail

[@Veetribe.]

I just found out I was type 2 diabetic 2yrs ago..I went whole food..lost 50pds..I'm always full..besides that. I was taken off insulin and reverse diabetes..just remember it's a journey..your gut flowera..changes..I don't have to count anything. I'm able to even eat unlawful fruits..love. love ❤️ this dish..life changes..

12:10 "You can put fresh berries as well, if you... are rich. " 😂🎉

[@brenna8829]

I don't know if they have them in New Zealand, but for those in the US (and for Chels, after you move!)... find out whether there's a salvage grocery store near you. I've been buying fresh berries for half price or less, and they're in perfect condition. Also tons of other produce and all the usual things grocery stores have, just not always the exact brand you might want. Or maybe they don't have almond milk for a couple of weeks, and then it turns up. Things like that. And watch the "best by" dates because some items are past them -- but some aren't, and some foods are perfectly fine past that date.

[@nicolerideout5941]

I came here for this comment 😂. Meanwhile, my house is surrounded by wild blueberries. ❤ I do have to share them with the deer. We have blackberries and raspberries but I'm not sure if they started wild or were planted by previous owners. I find frozen fruit easier to manage. They're picked and frozen at the right time and always taste great.

[@Marathon5151]

One thing I like to do for shakes and oatmeal is adding cauliflower rice. Adding another veggie with a neutral taste and add more bulk.

[@kathy.7475]

I do the same thing. It bulks up my smoothies and I eat them more slowly, with a spoon. I can’t even taste it in oatmeal.

[@mmcmp322]

Good idea

[@CascadeDuSel]

Raw? Or cooked in smoothies?

[@Raddiebaddie]

Calorie deficit always leads to weightloss but not all deficits are sustainable long term. You actually get to listen to hunger fullness cues when understanding calorie density 🎉

[@dianecarter2581]

This all makes sense and I KNOW it and have done so many aspects of this over the years but always end up hungry as I TRY to stick to 1200 calories per day but as you rightly say not every day so over time it makes a difference. I'm tired of counting calories and being hungry and beating myself up....I look forward to following your principles and seeing results. THANK YOU for sharing, God bless.

[@glokell3852]

Oatmeal in the morning! Steel cut overnight works well (does require overnight time so meal prep essential)

[@susanporter5991]

You always explain calorie density so well. Loved your explanation of how keto diets work. It is so simple, yet people want it to be something magical. Thanks for the realness and honesty. ❤

[@TracyPartridgeJohnson]

Hey Chelsea! I love your content! Have followed you for quite some time now. I'm wfpb but not losing weight. So frustrating. I'm 62 and about 50 lbs over my ideal weight. I try to be very careful about what I put in my mouth. But I think you're right about adherence and staying in a long-term calorie deficit. I know all about calorie density but I think I get frustrated and don't stay on track long enough.I guess. This video was great for re-emphasizing what I pretty much already know. Just need to get it dialed in and stick to it. Thanks for all your great info!

[@QueenChelly92]

Try adding walking into your daily routine, 10 minutes before breakfast and 10 minutes before dinner, do this for a few weeks and then increase the minutes you're walking ☺️😁👏

Looking forward to more inspiration on building lunch plates!

[@crystalcunningham3478]

Thank you so much for being specific about calories you eat! It’s very helpful and I always learn so much from you.

[@metamud8686]

3:05 I bake my own bread from whole grains that I mill myself. I only add water, yeast and a bit of salt. How do X grams of "whole grains at 500 calories" suddenly become X grams of "bread at 1400 calories" when all that happens is baking those grains??? Where do these numbers come from and how do they even make sense??? I also soak then cook my whole grains and eat that (as per oatmeal you could say) .. so where on earth do the extra 900 calories come from in your statement: whole grains 500 cals, but bread 1400 cals?????

Question, I know everyone raves about oatmeal in the morning but I can’t stand oatmeal. You hv any other suggestions? Like it be the texture hard or soft that just turns me off lol

[@havana2banana]

Did you try potatoes instead? How I do it is use leftover potatoes cooked in an air fryer until a nice golden colour. You can have them with a protein like veggie sausages.

[@aprilblossoms4]

When you give up and overeat, just try to start eating healthy the next meal! I have days when I eat terribly as well but to continue to eat like that means I am entering a negative spiral. Eating one meal that makes you feel bad is better than 3 meals because it’s that much harder to get back on track. Have your ingredients ready and prepped so you don’t procrastinate which leads to eating meals that you are trying to eat(healthier). Once you stick to it for a week or so and see some results, you will feel more motivated. Of course watch Chelsea’s other videos and keep coming back to remain motivated! Good luck 👍

Does this only works when beeing fully vegan? Or can I sprinkle in also some lean meat and fish and egg?

[@Raddiebaddie]

This is a plant based diet that does not consist of any animal products. Animal products are higher in calorie density and fat so you would have to eat smaller portions for the same calories which doesn’t lead to fullness cues and tends to cause eating more. Vegan is different from plant based as vegan is a code of ethics of avoiding harm to animals in all ways possible. Whereas plant based diet it just eat more fruits /veg/ beans, etc related to food for health. They have some overlap but are not the same.

[@Mommahunt2026]

I’m sorry if I eat rice and potatoes, it’s hard for me to get full and triggers my brain to want to eat more. I think everyone needs to know what foods satiates them.

[@bluerainbow11]

The reason why keto works so well is because you lose more water weight in the beginning. Then the weight loss peters out afterwards. But psychologically it makes people think they are losing tons of weight more due to the high rate of water weight loss.
