The breakfast that helped me lose 40lbs as a vegan//OATS FOR WEIGHT LOSS

[@Raddiebaddie]

I love that this video was basically “to all the haters, you’re wrong” 😂😂 amazing! Keep it up - you inspire so many 💚

[@greyl5696]

Usually people who complain about a persons attire are usually jealous. YOUR AWESOME KEEP DOING YOU!!. If you dont like what she wears, there's something you can do KEEP SCROLLING!

[@Fotograffa]

Yep!

[@stephaddiction]

Please do a dinner version of this for the week

[@rainedyani8505]

Long term ethical vegan and strict, organic-only WFPB eater here (over 35 years!), and I have thick rolled oats every single morning. 😋 I soak it over night in soymilk (no oil! 😬), then add blueberries, raisins, 2 TBS of flax seed, walnuts and cinnamon and top with more soymilk. So good!! 😊

[@Fotograffa]

I've lost 118 pounds eating this way! In my case because I'm older and handicapped I have to be careful. I can't eat all that food. I can't workout like you. Houseplants move more than I do! But, I'm happy with my progress just the same. Congrats to you❤

[@ChelseaMae]

Wow! Amazing!!! 🤩

[@Fotograffa]

@ChelseaMae Thank you so much. You made my day

[@carmadefries3729]

I’m disabled, too. Same situation, although I am able to walk about 30 minutes daily and I weight lift and do a a bunch of mobility exercises (multiple sclerosis). Keep going!! I’m so impressed with your progress!! ❤

[@Fotograffa]

@carmadefries3729 thank you so much! For me, it's lupus and fibromyslgia. I was so sick for years before I was diagnosed I kept getting weaker. In so much pain, I spent a lot of time depressed. Losing the ability to do the thing you love is depressing. Finally I was diagnosed and medicated but I didn't feel better. All those mess and in a fog. I finally came to realize my diet had to be plating a big part in my health and I needed to make changes. I had stopped eating beef for compassion reasons. I had digestive issues and gave up sugar and dairy. Little by little I went vegan but it was junk food vegan. I had to make more changes. This was years ago. I finally figured it out and I felt better. I'm on no meds for lupus or fibro now. My blood work is great. I follow Dr Neal Barnard on KZbin whose information has been so helpful and all the great folks who have great success stories and awesome recipes too, like Chelsea. 👍 Such great people in these communities. I feel so happy to be a part of it. Take good care and keep doing what you're doing. Be well.

[@amycaruthers7858]

I use a flat tablespoon of protein powder being 79 and within a couple lbs. of my goal weight now. We have eaten overnite oats for the last 15 years every single morning! It’s our favorite meal of the day and gives me energy all day! We also add cinnamon, Flax and mashed banana- so good❣️. Love you - you’re amazing! Don’t listen to the haters- they’re just jealous🩷

[@Fotograffa]

Congrats to you ❤! I still have about 10 pounds to reach my goal.

[@rcfnc]

If I had a flat stomach I would show them too :)

[@carmelasantana3091]

Me too- every day in every way 🤣🤣

[@diannalynnYT]

I love oats. Love how versatile they are, filing and not expensive.

[@almagiacalone4683]

I especially liked the chocolate oats. As someone who hates the cocoa powder going everywhere, I remove it from the package into a low wide container with a lid and use a spoon instead of pouring it right from the package to avoid the mess. I hope this helps.😊

[@CuriousBeauty10]

I’ve been vegan for over 9 years and you inspired me to start eating oats for breakfast :)

[@devikaforeen7209]

I love how you laugh off the negative comments people make! You worked very hard to get your body to look the way it does..if you are comfortable wearing crop tops..you of course should wear whatever you like.

[@lindsays7232]

Lately I’ve been cooking up a batch of baked oats for the week and it’s been great. Two mashed bananas, three cups of rolled oats, two cups of unsweetened plant milk, tsp of baking powder, tsp of vanilla, a few tablespoons of maple or date syrup, 1/4 cup PB2, couple tablespoons of flax or chia seeds and about a cup and half of frozen berries. Mix it all together, bake it at 350F for 30 mins, and you have delicious baked oats for the week! It literally tastes like you’re having banana bread for breakfast. 😊

[@kristi4939]

I have to try this!!! Thank you for this recipe 😃🥰

[@ewelinahelenakulas1287]

Wow your body went to the very next level with the intensive training u look great !

[@ayang4728]

Love you Chelsea, thanks for your videos ❤

[@stargazerbird]

I put blueberries in the oats to cook. They make it like blueberry muffins. Awesome video Chels. Now do one for lunch. I know you don’t cook many dinners.

[@LulusMom1220]

@@stargazerbird I never thought about putting the blueberries in the oats while they were cooking and I cook my oats in the microwave so I’m gonna try that tomorrow morning thanks for the tip. I always add my frozen blueberries afterwards and then it cools them down too much so I don’t like that so I have to heat up the blueberry separate and never ever thought about cooking them together duh.

[@prmango3406]

I recently started following you. I've been eating this oatmeal recipe for breakfast for about 2 weeks now. And I can honestly say that I don't feel bloated anymore. Also have been eating more non starchy veggies, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, less meat and more fruit. My stomach feels a lot better and my abdomen looks smaller. Hopefully I will continue with this regimen and loose some weight. Thank you

[@LulusMom1220]

Chels, I prep my dry oats with cinnamon and flax meal in little lock and locks for the week. Make fresh every morning in the MICROWAVE! For work, I use a little Hydro Flask food thermos… so they are still pretty hot when I get to work. Wish you would talk more about the Health Benefits of WFPB…76 years young, work 4/10s … zero Rx meds…no cataracts. But still do need to lose 15lbs (ugh) after losing 90 😀! 💕🐾💕🐾

[@carmadefries3729]

You consistently saying, “You need to eat more!” has FINALLY broken my plateau! 🎉 Thank you!! ❤

[@Godblessed2]

❤❤❤❤ thank you for wholesome content and not swearing - I’m implementing much of what I learn from you

[@Raddiebaddie]

I love oats 😋 I need to try it with raspberries!

[@denaeb5897]

This was a great informative video ❤❤love your videos ❤❤

[@patriciapalaroan1074]

I cook up steel cut oats in the IP (5min) and then divide up and add cinnamon etc. Good for the week. Adding berries and flax/hemp/chia mix when eating! I also cook up dry soybeans and they blend them and add that in there as well. Love soy milk as well from Trader Joe’s.

[@DoWhatNow_]

Here I'm thinking I wouldn't learn anything from another video about oats for breakfast, but yet... I did! And even more importantly, watching your videos regularly helps keep me consistent and gives me all those reminders I need to keep going. Since finding you here on KZbin, I've started eating oats with fruit for breakfast (turns out I like fresh fruit after all?) and trying to eat about a half pound of vegetables at lunch and again at dinner. And I know I'm much healthier-and I've lost ten pounds! But even more important is those reminders. Like: I've been adding nut and seed butter to my oatmeal to get in a little healthy fat, protein, and fiber, but now I'm thinking: maybe I would be better off, while I'm in weight loss mode, to go back to just doing the flaxseed and even increasing the amount of oats instead. Same calories, less caloric density. Now if I could just figure out the afternoon snacking.... :)

[@DoWhatNow_]

Also, I think it's hilarious (and slightly infuriating) that people are trying to tell you what to wear. IS IT 1900? Sheesh.

[@PlumHorizon]

I'm SO happy I found your channel ! Love the science, love the tips, love the common sense, you're amazing ! I've been skipping breakfast for years and always crash on sugar on the afternoon, on cheese, bread etc... I will try to eat oats again, now that I remember, the leanest I've been was when I was eating oats every day !

[@amycaruthers7858]

Excellent ! I agree with everything including calorie density, microwaves and making it easy to stay on target- not trying to do everything perfectly! Thanks so much for this video 🥰

[@sylviadoncarlos6762]

Great job! Oats are so good with Jay Robb egg white protein powder, fruit and a few nuts, unsweetened organic (haters) soy milk. Almost 20 grams of protein in my bowl of oats. I’m almost 60 years and healthy. No meds or disease. Rice and pasta are also friendly within the appropriate serving. Congratulations on your weight loss and inspiring others. You will age gracefully and healthy.

[@abramthegamingguy9016]

The info about water in foods was interesting and made sense

[@carlagribi6142]

I love the sustaining power of oats. Oats come out like Rocks, even with extra water

[@estefani6692]

Thank you for the recipes! You have a great way of reframing information that gets me motivated. & l love your style - you do you!

[@SGMSGM-wq9dd]

Chels much respect to you for taking the time and dedication to not just blow past those neggy comments but to debunk and teach and do really well to help people make better choices ❤ i’m doing these oats tomorrow 😅

[@roxana262]

Love, love overnight oats. I eat them every day. I prefer oat bran over normal oats. (for the fiber content) My recipe is (takes me 4 minutes): 60 g soy yoghurt 17 g oat bran, 5 g goji, 17g nuts (walnuts) 4 g black sesame seeds 1 tsp.shiitake powder 1 tsp. maitake powder 1 TBS Chia seeds 1 TBS Flax 100 g frozen berries (70 g wild blueberries and 30 g raspberries/mix berries), 1 g Ceylon cinnamon 1 tsp hemp seeds lemon zest water Taste like a cookie and keeps me full until lunch when I drink my smoothie. For dinner I have always a bowl with a variety of veggies and potatoes, beans. It doesn't t have to be complicated. I am a vegetarian.

[@pruhorwood8473]

I love your presentation. So down to earth and practical. I’m struggling with my weight like never before after menopause. I’ve tried so many different diets and they are all so hard to stick to. But I love the way you try and make things as simple as possible. Keep up the good work. 🙌 PS love the New Zealand weather. It’s really hot here in Australia this summer and unusually humid. I’m trying to get my 6 km walk in early in the morning 👋😊💚. I find the oats are quick to prepare and give me good energy to exercise

[@bridgethabak3596]

Loved this video! I was actually inspired by your previous video to eat oats every morning. Your recipe using quick oats, protein powder, flax, berries, and a bit of soy milk was the one that I followed. It was delicious and you were right, it keeps me full until lunch.!

[@jess7722]

I love my microwave, it makes life so much easier

[@jenseddon6992]

Hi Chelsea, I really enjoy your videos - they’re fantastic! I have porridge every morning without fail, and I absolutely love it too! I know many of your videos focus on weight loss, but I’d love to see some content on building muscle as well, particularly for arms and abs, aimed at beginners. It would be great if you could include exercises that can be done at home without the need for a gym membership! I’m also plant-based and have been really inspired by your weight loss and muscle-building journey - it’s motivating to see your progress!

[@tmarishat]

I’m 100% on the oatmeal wagon train. I’ve been working out for six years. I ate it every single day sometimes three times a day of course I weigh it totally portion controlled but I make it just like you. You look fabulous. I eat Jasmine rice, red potato, sweet potato i have a nice tummy and I’m 50 years old .

[@sharivalenzuela9491]

I keep my cocoa powder in a glass jar. Much less mess after the one time putting it in a jar.

[@brwbty81]

I enjoy your videos. Keep sharing and congratulations on your progress 🎉😊

[@underthemermaidmoon]

Oats are my favorite breakfast! Blueberries, banana, cinnamon, protein powder! Keeps me full for hours!

[@pmcallister]

I batch cook steel cut oats, enough for five days. Mix in a bag of frozen riced cauliflower and some ground flax after the oats are done. Reheat in the microwave, add fruit plus soy milk from Trader Joe’s. Delicious and keeps me full for several hours. Love sneaking in that extra veggie.

[@DebiBertran]

I always enjoy your videos. You keep it real, and you're so down to earth. I'm glad you don't let the haters get you down. I happen to think you look amazing in the crop tops. As for the microwave, I use ours every day. I do overnight oats. I use rolled oats, banana, chia seeds, and cinnamon. I eat this every morning. 😊

[@leximestaz1864]

Love love love your energy! Oats for life baby! Oats were my go to breakfast postpartum and has helped me after having four kids I am down to my 100 pounds before I had any kids! Thank you for sharing the difference recipes! I Will try them! They sound so yummy!

[@Kathleenventura]

Chels, I still have screenshots on my phone from your how to eat oats video (all the side by side clips used in this vid too) from three years ago because I didn’t know how to cook oats! I probably watched that video five times, pausing it to hear how much water you used with whole oats on the stovetop, etc. 😝🫣🤦🏻‍♀️ I have been eating the same oat breakfast nearly every day since then to help maintain my 35+lb weight loss. Stoked you’re still doing the same. Congrats on the viral video and all the misguided comments feeding the algorithm. Plus, girl, your abs 🔥 What a freaking compliment saying it “had to be surgery”?? 😂 If my abs looked like that, I’d wear crop tops even in the winter!

[@85Captain]

Lost 14kg 4 years ago WFPB and sports. Not starving at all. I went vegetarian again, tore an ACL this summer, gained 4kg. Since 1 week I eat this breakfast, lunch and dinner half plate of veggies, rest potatoes, lentils/beans and tofu. Snacks are fruit and a little chocolate. Very little sports because of my knee...Lost 1kg easily. You're a big inspiration, @chelseamae.

[@margozhuravel]

Oats are absolutely amazing. I used to eat them every day for about three years, but at some point, I switched to savory breakfasts. I think it had something to do with the sugar content and oats being relatively low in protein. I still ate oats, but I started adding vegetables, eggs, tofu, or similar ingredients. However, while eating savory breakfasts, I always craved something sweet afterward. It became an obsession-I couldn’t control my desire for chocolate or cookies, and I could easily eat an entire chocolate bar. I would feel sick afterward, but the cycle just continued. About a month ago, I switched back to eating oats for breakfast, but this time I added protein powder, berries, and flaxseeds. Since then, my cravings for sweets have almost completely disappeared. Occasionally, I still want dessert, but it’s nothing like before. I no longer have to rely on sheer willpower to avoid overeating or to stay mindful.

[@kathystoner5239]

I absolutely love your content! I have started eating the way you make your oatmeal and it is so good and filling! I want to eat more simply and am going to do your lunch idea this week, but would love some ideas on easy dinners I could do ?

[@ninaparks500]

Great Video ❤ Thanks 😊

[@carmadefries3729]

My favorite oats are the overnight oats except I cook them in a pot on the stove and eat them hot. I like the thick chewiness. ❤

I have advance from regular oats to jumbo to mixed oat groat with lots of soy/water topped with berries, flaxseeds and cinnamon. I’ve eaten porridge every day for 5 years and more. Thank you for all your hard work - love your airfried tofu btw. Genius!

Carnivores have been fed so much bad information from KZbin grifters that they’re literally afraid of oatmeal.

[@rcfnc]

I know. Oats are great!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

100% true unfortunately that Carnivores have been misled with misinformation that encourages them to avoid foods that are good for them and eat food that is bad for them.

[@i2sky532]

💯 I'm so sick of carnivore grifters taking advantage of people. I know at least 5 folks having health issues from eating carnivore.

[@kellyarnold1591]

If you blood glucose is normal then eat oats. If it's not carnivor is the way to go. Personally I swing between ultra low carb and moderate carb diet. I eat oatmeal 2 times a week with a fruit and a bit of whole milk. Not the bowl she's eating!

[@bongovonzipper]

@ “blood sugar spikes” are the new “seed oils” carnivores are ridiculous.

I use my microwave all the time. It’s great to heat up high water content things like tea, soup, etc… It makes life so much easier. I work and I’m a single mom. I don’t always have time to dirty another pan or pot when I can just microwave something.

[@lindsaygriepenstroh980]

Slay, girl! You tell ‘em how it is! Be you! ❤

[@maggiematon3831]

❤ Good on you. Keep being you. However, as T2 Diabetic I find that oats (all types) with or without fruit, made even with water spike my sugar. X

In the words of the immortal Elaine Bennis, "Cheers to those who wish us well, everyone else can go to hell!" You wear and eat what you want, and ppl who have an issue with that are just not living their own lives.

[@gur262]

[@micheleoster9413]

In the late 70s, we had a "wood look" one, like wrapped in wood print contact paper and no buttons, just a single dial for time, no heat settings. There were warnings about microwaves and pacemakers. If I remember correctly, it was the magnet in the microwave that could interfere with the pacemaker, and I think that somehow got twisted into radiation leaks ... also the movie "Gremlins" probably didn't help. LOL My uncle currently in his 80s liked to refer to all microwaves as mini Chernobyls and that kind of thinking kinda stuck with Gen X. Sorry! LOL

Soy probably gets a bad rap because it is in most processed foods. Without the processed food in your diet it probably isn’t bad
