You truly have a gift to impart your knowledge in such a relatable format. I’m so grateful to you and all of your knowledge. You are a true gift to the whole food plant-based no oil revolution 🌱💚

This is by far the BEST explanation and break down! So easy to understand and straight to the point!

How fantastic you are just giving SO much wonderful information. Assuredly you and your family will be highly blessed for the time, effort~WORK, put into making the videos and putting together all that entails. I am WFPB but a lot older than you and I know its not across the board true that age has a lot to do with weight loss, yet it does seem to play a part. Also I believe many of us have told ourselves and said OUTLOUD, to friends, "I cant lose weight, I cant seem to lose weight, its SO hard to lose weight" and so on. And guess what? The body responds in kind! That goes for other health issues as well, with the complaints fears and old trauma holding us back. But with such a POSITIVE upbeat personality you share in public, AND this method, ANYone can do it! Thank you~I am ON board and happy to give it 100%!

I think my favorite part of this is you saying “make your food taste good”. I paid a lot of money for a WFPB weight loss course from another “influencer” and one thing she kept saying was that your food didn’t need to taste good/satisfying (not taste bad, but that it should be bland) and it almost seemed like if you wanted to make creative meals that had flavor, you were punished. I kept being told that the food I was making were too complicated (even though they ticked the boxes on being no oil and wfpb). I can eat WFPB but I have to be able to enjoy my food in order to make me want to stick with it!!

Fantastic video Chelsea! Great information especially for beginners. Keeping it simple is the key to consistency and consistency is the key to weight loss and improved healthy. Thank you for sharing💚

i binged today. I will overcome this. Thank you.

Thank you this is so helpful for anyone struggling.

I love the spice it up part. When you are used to eat spicy asian food it is sooo boring to just eat salads with lemon juice. You have inspired me to do my prepping for a whole week and i love it that there is steamed potatoes and tomato rice and legumes with it. My fridge looks so much more appealing and creative. Every day can combine whatever i want within minutes, because of the prepping which gave me a lot of joy. My weightloss journey starts today. I am very confident it will work and will last. When you can eat delicious and balanced food like this it wont be difficult i think. I have 40 pounds to lose, my goal is set to achieve by the end of decembet. Or at least see some results by then. Thank you for the hats formula! Greets from Belgium❤

I appreciate how comprehensive this was and that you don’t have to be fancy on your journey if you don’t want to. Thank you 🌻

Great tips for weight loss on a WFPB diet beautiful Chelsea. Yes if it doesn't come out of the ground, maybe you shouldn't be eating it. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Chelsea.

Makes perfect sense. You do a good job imparting information in an entertaining way. One key for me was allowing time for my palette to change so that I started PREFERRING healthy foods over non-healthy ones. Keep up the good work!

That is the Best Explanation of all the Vegans I follow.

Thanks for this super clear top notch free content! I’ve been eating WFPB for years but summertime I tend to lose focus with travel and kids at home. This is a perfect recap to help me back on track. I always head to the kitchen after watching your videos because your food looks so YUM!

You are a natural teacher Chelsea. Thanks for all the great resources and ideas for eating healthy, yummy foods.

Well done Chelsea- keep up the great work. You are making a big difference on many lives.

I love this thank you for sharing your four step process all of your tips help so much

Your content just gets better and better! Thank you!!!

So stoked!!! Thank you Chels!!!🥰🥰

You are helping so many people! Grateful :)

The HATS framework 💯 will definitely remember this forever 😅

This was a great video! A very concise, whole view of this way of achieving weight loss. I will definitely be using this to send to friends when they're asking about WFPB weight loss. It's what we need to hear when we're coming out of the dieting world that's so fearful of carbs and used to calorie counting. Thank you.

Honestly love this! Thank you! 🙌🏾

Thank you, Chelsea, for all your hard work and great videos. You are so adorable!💕

You are an absolute blessing! I come from the Raw Till 4 department and have to lose the weight I gained on it again.

Great tips, thanks for this video.

You have know idea how much I love your talks. I've listened to and followed so many plant based links and people but nothing as stimulating and easy to follow as yours. Thank you. I am in such a hole and struggling to break out of my bad eating habits... This video. Helps.

Great video Chelsea 🙌🏻. You’re a great speaker, information delivered in a fun and easy to understand way, love your work 🤘🤘🫶🫶

This is such a great explanation. Thanks for sharing this!

LOVE!!! Your video method I was able to screen shot the way you show the difference between what to eat and avoid.

Watching you helps me stay on track. Thanks. Lynn

Your videos are super helpful. I know you’re selling something, but you still don’t get keep any information and I really find that admirable! I like the advice you gave about doing fewer recipes and have a more components available to put together anyway you want!

You are such a wonderful communicator, Chelsea. Thanks for the above. These topics are vital.

Thank you. So far your videos have made for sense to me than anyone.

This was so helpful, thanks Chels!!

I’m leaning more into a plant based diet…can you provide recipes for your meals? Your bowls always look so fantastic!

Excellent information ! Thank you🤗💐

Thank you. Great ideas. You make calorie density easy to understand and implement.

HATS off to you! This is a really useful framework, simple and easy to implement. Thank you!

Awesome information, always appreciate your videos Chelsea. You're engaging and so helpful.

Awesome info - thanks Chels!

Great video. Just what I needed to see. Thank you for explaining it so well.

I am always falling off the tofu wagon!! You are soooo good! Thank you

Brilliant. Thx.

You’re amazing!! I love your HATS acronym, and will start using that for sure! Thanks for being such an inspiration! 😉😘

Hi chealsea iv been following this the last week and i have lost half a stone so far , can yoj do a video of diffefent sauces you can make for dreasings please , and lastly thank you so mich for these videos i have struggled with my weight scinse having my son and this has been a god send xxx

Amazing video Chels!

Great way to do it, l can't do perfect, l have a bit of iodised salt and maple syrup or honey and l use sauce l try to get one with little or no oil . I am always cautious to say it cause get fired up. I try to ignore them and l have one cappacino each day. I do what works for me. You made me realise l am going good. thanks

This is very helpful!

Absolutely LOVE this!!!!👒👒🎩🎩🧢🧢 And yes yes letting go of perfectionism is soooo wonderful! I love adding a touch of sweet chili sauce or tomato sauce to my meals, hits my sweet spot and then I don't go hunting for ice cream later on😉

Thx for motivation to CONTINUE

Love this btw!❤❤❤❤

H.A.T.S. I freaking love that! So creative!!

This is amazing! thank you for the great break down! ✨

You are BRILLIANT girl!!!! 👏🙏🤩🥰

Oh my goodness everything looks delicious 😋

This helps me so much thank you! X Do you have any low calorie list of fruits to snack on or making a fruit bowl for a snack each day that will stay low but get fruits into your diet? Like good fruits x

Thank you for this! I was just about to start the McDougall MWL plan, but it is just WAY too restrictive for me. I like your framework better.

🥰 thank you 🙏

thank you for sharing

Thanks. I think it would also be helpful to know the upper limit to look for in 100g. (For all your metric using peeps)

Great!

In this moment, I cannot pay for the Lean with plants, BUT I'm buying a big bowl today, so I can start making big bowls of good stuff!

Absolutely loved this video and you're great at explaining everything, but what's with the lack of protein? You didn't mention protein at all in the video and just made a whole plate of broccoli and potatoes? I know there can be a whole obsession with protein in the vegan and fitness world that can be too much sometimes, but it is essential and I do think that was missing, especially when you're showing an example of a complete meal and there's not a single protein in it or even a mention? I just found it weird, hope you don't get me wrong, keep up the great content

KZfaq suggested this video to me, and I'm so glad I found your channel through it!! I just subbed!! I love this video. I end up eating vegan junk food more than I'd like because I get too hungry and then lose willpower... this video is going to help me change that!! I feel best when I eat healthy, but I go for the vegan junk food once I get too hungry, although I don't feel my best when I eat junk food! I will follow the tips here to avoid getting into that zone!! Also...unrelated...Which watch do you have? It looks good on you even tho it's not a tiny watch... I noticed this bc I've been a little self-conscious about being a petite woman but having a HUGE watch for a few months now lol, but seeing a full size watch on your arm makes me see that it looks fine!! I got the Garmin Fenix 7X sapphire solar (the 7X is the big one...) I wanted that one bc I was going with a Sapphire Solar version anyways either way but the 7X has the real flashlight instead of just using the screen, and I actually use the flashlight a lot!! And bc I put the watch body on the bike mount and can still see it fine on my handlebars...but a smaller watch would have been silly for that.

best video ever to lose weight ...

Thank you for this video...love the way you simply this meal composition concept. I am famous for eating a chopped salad as big as my head (or "hat"), but don't include any beans, rice, or potatoes, etc. and then wonder why I'm so ravenous later! Was wondering, do you typically add something other than fruit to your oatmeal to pump up the satiation?

Eat greens at every meal. I cook kale, bok choy, leek, ginger, garlic in 4 cups water in instapot x10min. I strain the broth and put in thermos (like chef AJ) and drink on the way to gym or after. Then eat the greens with salt when I get home, next is a salad of celery, cucumber, red bell pepper, salt, fennel, acv, stevia. Next is apple, pear, blueberries. Then walk 30min. 2nd meal is steamed zucchini and spaghetti squash (prepped day before) I put this on a big salad with more celery salad, sometimes 2 tsp flax. More apple, pear, frozen blueberry. I’m healing intestinal dysfunctions. I hope to be able to eat potatoes and chickpea soon as weight has really dropped. But feeling better very lean but need to tolerate a higher calorie starch. Hopefully soon. Peeled apples have really helped my microbiome. Thank you Lord. 🙏🏼

A Great Video, love, Diana Lipski 😍

you remind me SO much of Emilie de Ravin from Once Upon a Time!!!

THIS👌🏾

Great Info! If you eat the potatoes and broccoli do you eat the same in your next Meal or more like a soup and salad?

Love this. How would you fit in protein? Thanks:)

Omg the step about making it delicious! I realized I had no issue eating vegetables if i season and sauce them the same way i would my classic old meals. It was when the meal was bland that i couldn't eat more than 1/3 of it but i would still be hungry or get cravings later So yeah, go get that 30 calorie sauce, it's worth it I'm only worried that your meals seem to lack in protein sometimes. Especially if the food is very filling you'll most likely eat just 3 of these bowls a day. And also worried that the content of carbs is very high, but otherwise if we don't crave stuff later it most likely evens out in the long run (So it's more carbs per plate but you're not snacking anymore or you eat 2-3 big meals instead of 10)

What are your thoughts on home made Seitan? Love ur content! Linda

Hi Chelsea!! I love and subscribe to your channel! Thank you for the amazing content! Just curious if you consider TOFU to be part of the starch or part of the non-starch or part of the fat? I know edamame it would be part of the starch, but tofu is a little different. HELP!

I eat this way as I'm a healthy vegan. None of that Oreos are vegan crap. Just wanted to say to add veggies to my oatmeal I chop or dice zucchini. Can do it tiny or slightly chunky. Bigger just crunch like apples. Keeps me full.

💚

Hello Chelsea This video can be very helpfull and I apreciate the course and the organization. HOWEVER when adressing the gut.... Yeah: it goes crazy! Too much fibre, vegetables and fruits are rich in foodmaps, vegan protein is harder to digest etc. I had a vegetarian diet similar to what you recomend I sure I was very skinny, but I had a belly like I was 4 months pregnant and my gut did not work healthy. I recommend everyone making an appointment with a registred dietitian before you start any diet. We are unique as humans. Even though I love vegan high carb low fat and eating tons of veggies and beans without restriction I was always having belly and intestinal disconfort. That is not healthy. Take care everyone

So half the plate is starch or half of the usual starch you put?

I love how you explain this H A T S way of eating!!!

So thorough and helpful! Thank you Chelsea!

How much oats do you eat ? The amount more or less .

Hi! I have to live out of hotels a lot, based on your experience what are some ha is you can think of for this plan that doesn’t include only rich as my starch every day. I want potatoes 😳

So I wonder if anyone knows if this would be good during breastfeeding? I notice when I lower/limit oils and fats too much the fat content of my milk goes down. I am only judging by the cream line in my milk when it's been in the fridge

I lose weight eating lots of nuts and seeds. They fill me up when I add them to Buddha bowls, salads, and oatmeal bowls.

I don't understand tech stuff and don't do email..how could I do your course 😉 thanks!

Is the broccoli the protein source in this meal? No beans or tofu?

Am on Calories Density but am still over my weight line

🥦💚

I'm a little confused, you said half starch at 4:10 but the rice only fills up 1/4 of the plate?

Where do you get any protein though?

I always thought I’d have to add protein for a balanced meal? And slip up on too much nuts/seeds/ pulses

Any testimonials

I'm vegan but I don't lose weight until I eat very little food 😔 I'm not losing any.

Is that 1 lb starch and 1 lb veggies per day?

sounds smart and looks good but what about protein
