thank you!

we DEFINITELY require a part two.

[@Kavita_826]

I have to say I really love making super yummy mashed potatoes with plant milk and loads of seasoning and loads of veggies on the side with an onion gravy 💕

[@josettechrystall9290]

That’s comfort food for me lol yummy

[@TheLeisamarie]

I have a couple favorite foods: potatoes- either white or sweet and kale. I can eat those every day! Thank you so much for quality content and I hope you do make a part 2

[@wephotogal]

I mistakenly bought steel cut oats instead of oatmeal and so tried them for the first time yesterday - and now I am HOOKED! I add blueberries, pear and cinnamon.

[@evecarter617]

oh yum pears

[@wephotogal]

@@evecarter617 - Oh yeah. Delicious.

[@susanroberts6514]

Make them in the instant pot! Game changer

[@alicec9092]

Me to!

[@lizfeick7993]

You are hands down the best at packing in so much valuable information in a short amount of time! I’ve learned a BUTT LOAD! 🤓

[@ChelseaMae]

This made me smile!! HAHAHA, thank you!!

[@lizfeick7993]

@@ChelseaMae you make me smile every day!! I am joining the Lean With Plants program after praying about it and thinking about it for months. I was worried about the financial commitment. I have done nearly every plan and ended up gaining the weight back. I even did the crazy HCG diet which was 500 calories a day! Yuck!!!! I was feeling like I was “Broken” and ready to just give up. I am 57, have no ovaries or uterus, AND have only one of my thyroid glands and have hypothyroidism. But after listening to all of your podcasts, watching your videos, and reading the testimonies, I’m going to take the plunge. My husband is not vegan, but he is used to my eating this way. I’ve been vegan for 5 years now. Anyway, this piano teacher, Mom of 4 and Grammy of 2 is ready to really change for good. Thank you for coming into my life. I know God brought me to you. You are a wonderful person.

[@XtalF]

I love beans and potatoes! I'm at a healthy weight, too and I like to joke that I am on a High Carb diet because I eat so much on a plant-based diet. I love my pressure cooker because it helps me cook dry beans in about an hour. It's a time machine and saves money, I highly recommend it!

[@TheInter-WebPeople]

1. I'm really glad you explain the terms and how things work. It really makes it easier to understand how these foods are better for you 2. As a Canadian I cannot fathom summer in January-

[@lizzzarduh]

Hey Chels just wanna tell you that your videos are so freaking helpful for me and I know they will catch on for so many more people soon! I can’t afford your program at the moment and I would love to in the future, but having these videos paired with your podcast has helped me massively understand this way of weight loss and eating and I just love learning about it and then applying it to my life. I heard you say in a recent podcast that KZbin videos are a big struggle for you but please know they are so awesome and honestly I love how low production and casual they are! It makes them so much more easy to watch!! Your personality is just finally and easy I love ya! So thank you for making these and pushing through your making such an impact girl❤️

[@maraeaizar]

Team white potato. I like sweet potatoes too, but man, I just love white potatoes! Nothing quite compares for me

[@hula62]

I am so into Roasted Brussels Spouts which I HATED as a child, but now, I love them. Roasting is the best. The flavor is amazing.

[@74griffo]

What a flippin good explanation about calories when eating while plant foods!

[@justinabowen818]

Great video! Your explanations of fiber benefits, even non-vegans would appreciate. My fave food now and of all time is the purple Hawaiin sweet potatoes. They are like the Japanese but even more dense & cakey. My #2 is steamed brussels, cauli and/or sauteed cabbage. You taught me mustard on veggies and it is sooo good! Also I think your "sneak peak" for your next video is an awesome idea - I've never seen that! Brilliant way to get more subscribers!

[@LondonJahzara2011]

I've just been upping my veggues for the past 3 days and oh my what a difference... A little TMI but im way more regular and I feel less fir fast foods. It crazy how such a little change can make a big difference.

[@TraceyHullPlantBasedDietitian]

Hey Chelsea, thanks for another great video. OMG I love that you attacked the claims about "miracle foods" and then went on to explain the concept of calorie deficit. Thank you for clarifying this for so many people who need to hear it

[@danielao.1151]

Definitely looking forward to Part 2! I'm team potatoes in all forms and varieties! 😊Such an awesome video, by the way! Thank you for doing all the research and breaking it down so simply - I have no doubt that it required a lot of work. We appreciate you! ❤️

[@MyKeturah]

Wowwww I learned a butt load of info hahaha thank you! Saving this 🤍

[@rebeccastevens2903]

I’m team red potato because I haven’t given sweet potatoes much of a chance yet. I’ve mostly had sweet potatoes baked in oil and didn’t like the texture as much unless they were made crunchy. For awhile I ate very little potatoes at all because I didn’t like how they made me feel baking them in oil. I just assumed vegetables generally needed to be roasted in oil. In the past year or two I’ve enjoyed the magic of baking potatoes without oil and just love how they make me feel! I eat them all the time now. After seeing this video, I plan to give sweet potatoes a chance roasted without oil 😊

[@darcym1948]

YES to part 2!!! Loved the video!! My fave weight loss food is also potatoes and my favorite non-weight loss food is peanut butter... i love that PB, but man does it make me pack on weight.

[@SmileyVegan]

Great video Chelsea! You are so knowledgeable and made this easy to understand! I look forward to part 2!

Insanely informative! Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to part 2.

[@wildtemple3229]

Great info Chels! I love both sort of potatoes!!! At the moment loving dhal and have an addiction to Brussel sprouts!!

[@stephanies9986]

I love the idea of you taking each of these ingredients and showing 5 different recipes (like your oats preview) or ways to switch it up… I like each of them but get bored with the same way of eating them… for potatoes it would be cool to see how you’d use it in a soup/stew, vs bowl, vs idk other creative things to get ideas. Same for beans and the fruit…

[@ashliegreenan9526]

That is such a great idea. I’d love to see that. 👍🏼

[@SandPell123]

Yes, a part 2 please!

Such an informative video !!!

[@TheRealJennHill]

This is such a fantastic video! I absolutely love that you go deep scientifically as to why these are some of your favorite weight loss foods to include in your diet. Side note.. it shocks me that you don’t have more subscribers! You have an amazing personality, you are real, easy to watch, informational and dumb it down for anyone to follow and understand! Seriously you are the bee’s knee’s girl! Keep putting out that content and keeping it real! We all love ya! 💕

💚 great Teacher !!

[@christinaklassen2430]

I finally found the sweet potato kind that you always use ... it's a game changer. So good!!!

[@olgaene237]

thank you! definetly it would be great to have part two!

[@slicesofbri]

I'm new to being vegan, although I've been vegetarian since 2017, and I found this really helpful. Hope you decide to make a part 2 that expands the list of foods you found helpful for weightloss and that compliment the foods you shared in this video.

[@monicamead1884]

Chelsea! Just this week started making your kumara toast w/tomato - SO GOOD!!! Thanks, as always, for the inspiration! 🍠🍅😊

[@1101naomi]

What a great informative video! I knew these things but not some of the details.

[@marionkine]

Another great and informative video , thank you so much for communicating about real health instead of all the BS/miraculous weight loss we see waaaayyyyyyy to much everywhere 🙏 We need more people like you ❤

[@leesabee3]

Great video!! My faves are sweet potatoes, and I love a big bowl of noodles & veggies - yum ☺️

[@gillianandstephen6973]

Love the video and the content. Thanks so much for sharing your exceptionally useful knowledge. I love sweet potatoes and Broccoli 🥦

[@angelah7657]

Excellent video Chelsea. Thank you. I have watched oodles of presentations on this topic and I think yours is fantastic and spot on relatable. Really impressed, great job! And thanks for all the fab recipes and sharing your perspective.

[@Dreamysunshine23]

Great info!

[@amberrichardson6234]

Definitely love all potatoes, but the humble white potato is my absolute favorite 😍🥔 we definitely need a part two! Thank you 💙

[@alexachenbach821]

Thank you.

[@ashleymcdaniel6188]

New to finding your channel :) luv it! Thanks for sharing! New to whole food plant based living since March 15th last time I weight almost a month ago lost 38 lbs im so excited! My favorite things I’ve found is savory oats! Never knew you could make them that way! I do 50/50 steel cut oaks and old fashion oats cooked with kale and cauliflower topped with liquid aminos pepper and little nutritional yeast ! Delicious and never would have tried before! Also like steam summer squash/zucchini on side. Also love my potatoes anyway I can get them! Lol

[@kaseycasl8250]

Gosh your content is so motivating. You're my go to when I need inspiration. Thanks for providing such great videos. Love how authentic you are. You are the reason I like sweet potatoes. I used to hate them😆

[@kate-nv8mw]

Love your work. Can you do some videos about how to cook beans and pulses and what to put with them to make them taste fantastic please?

[@thismamacan3745]

I love this woman so much

[@katwilliams8107]

That was a great video. Please keep up these videos. They are keeping me motivated because I am now understanding why whole plants help with weight loss. I never understood nutrition before your videos and podcasts with such ease. Thank you for the great work.

[@sarahmiller6636]

I loved this video. You do an excellent job at giving information in a clear and concise manner. My favorite foods right now are kale steamed with apple cider vinegar, Brussels sprouts, and chickpeas.

[@roflolwtfomg]

Hey fellow kiwi! I accidentally stumbled across your channel a couple of days ago and have watched so many videos so far! Although not vegan (I’m vegetarian) but I do eat a lot of vegan meals and foods, I find your videos super informative. I put on 10kgs on the last 2 years and have not been able to lose them! Your advice and explanation of how your body burns fat have been so helpful. Thank you for your time and effort! I love orange kumara mash, but definitely prefer white potatoes as a whole!

[@malinikrishnamurti1768]

Chelsea, this is an excellent video. My FAV is white potato. My favorite non-starchies are Broccoli and Cauliflower. My favorite leafy greens are Arugula and Romaine (I JUST LOVE this stuff) and, yes, Cilantro (skipped the soapy gene, thank God!). I also LOVE all legumes.

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Great video Chelsea and I love 😍 all 5 of those foods and I don't have a favourite from them but my favourite food outside of them is spices. I am not on either team when it comes to picking between sweet potatoes & potatoes because I like both. You need to make a part 2. Love 🥰 the vlog of love 💕Chelsea & family 👪.

[@evagosselin4712]

I love sweet potatoes and the white, I never put anything on them, they're so good on there on. Thankyou for another great video! 🥰

[@rebeccastevens2903]

Also, I happen to LOVE all of these foods 😊

[@donbar5493]

Wahoo awesome Chelsea. I'm interested in a sauce to go over top any ideas please . Thanks

[@delwyngoodrick289]

Team Kumara (sweet potatoes). Thanks for another great video Chelsea...

[@bookittyfxck]

not watched fully yet but thank you for another one 🙏🏻

[@lisafisher9820]

Great video Chels, my favourite weightloss food is 100% hands down white potatoes and my favourite non weightloss food is a vegan burger from my favourite Cafe Raw Energy 🙂

[@smallfootprint2961]

Love sweet potatoes. I never did, but as I try more and more, I'm discovering all the wonderful variety. The calorie deficit you talk about, and calorie density, has saved me from making more and more mistakes in food choices. Even eating only plant foods, there are still choices to be made, to eat more, be satiated, and still lose weight. I return over and over to your great videos.... My difficulty was flour products, almond yogurt, and avocado. There are others, but these are the most recent trouble makers. Best not to buy them, and not have them in the house. I try to follow the Maximum Weight Loss Plan which eliminates those high fat foods. Foods which trigger the dopamine rush in me will want me to eat more. Thanks for your videos.

[@debstayblessed9549]

Thanks for sharing. enjoy all foods on list . i had to remove brocolli from my fav bc of newly discovered blood disorder which require blood thinners beans , beans beans yes yes🙃

[@efroggys]

As a vegan trying to cut right now, you have inspired me SO MUCHHHH

[@smallfootprint2961]

Ah. Lettuce cups. I always know that when I come back to your videos, I'll be reminded of issues I forgot, and recipes I forgot. Gotta make some lettuce cups. Thanks for putting this back into the rotation. Hope all's well.

[@johnshinski2994]

agree with you....baked plain hanah or japanese sweet potatoes are the best food with out question

[@egcmi]

great video as always, thank you chels! btw it's thylakoids, I think you misread it, but the concept still holds ;)

[@christinaheesakacowden-wut3809]

My favourite weight loss food is definetly potatoes as well. You are so lucky to get this kind of sweet potatoe in New Zealand. In Germany we only can buy the orange yam like ones. But better than nothing eye. Of coures we do have a lot of different normal potatoe varieties in Germany. So there I am lucky. I definetly love also brokkoli. I am not a big leafy green fan like lettuces and such. I do not like the feeling of the leaves in my mouth, haha. But I also love cauliflower and cooked spinach or green beans a lot. Brussel sprouts and zucchini are also great. The frozen berries we can buy here are often sour and not sweet. That`s a bummer. But I do like to get wild frozen blueberries a lot. I also buy gluten free oatmeal. And of course bananas are a staple, just like potatoes. Huggs from Germany.

[@maryellenbunce7751]

Great video Chelsea! When that loud motorbike/truck went by I could just imagine you trying to not break your mojo! Love you 😘

[@ChelseaMae]

I know!! It was hard. LOL. Might have been some #$%*s edited out!!

[@happyleafstudios1]

I just found you on youtube... Your 5 foods are the same as mine. Lost 35 pounds on wfpb before covid. Got in great shape for a Spartan race... It got cancelled... Gained 40 after all the covid changes at home and work. New goal is to get back to that before I turn 50 y/o in 7.5 months! Lost 22 pounds in 45 days! I will be watching!

[@Daisy-vp2or]

I love how you eat. Super helpful and makes so much sense. It would be amazing if you could show how you feed the kids. I’m trying to help my 6 year old eat this way but it’s a battle since he pretty much hates all vegetables. Do you have any recipes that your kids love?

[@livingbreathingonpurpose6586]

Hey Beautiful Chelsea 💚💪 can u do a video on weight lifting and eating plant based. You look very toned!! Such an inspiration!!💚💪

[@Cheskat32]

Sweet potatoes make awesome hamburger or hotdog buns. I got these plant based brats at the grocery outlet bargain market for 2.50 and used a few sweet potato slices as a bun and it was so good

[@angelaspielbusch1237]

Part 2 please!

[@Deb_BG]

I combine a small, baked Japanese Sweet Potato with blueberries and microwave for a cake-like dessert.

[@josettechrystall9290]

Thanks again Chelsea - been eating this way for 10 weeks now and lost 20lbs already. Feeling so good too. Never going back. Oh I eat both potato’s - changes each day. But I really love boiled white potatoes hot or cold I love them
