Yes, Chelsea Mae! I have had a hysterectomy surgery and menopause. 😢 I thought that I would never get rid of this weight. I have about 72 pounds to lose. I lost 5 pounds this week. I ate so much food that I thought I couldn't finish it all. So, I saved it for later. I tried Keto, but my doctor was upset because my cholesterol was super high. He told me that if I don't get it down, he will put me on medications. Your recipes and tips are so helpful. I am not vegan, but I think I could do this.

I use capers in my chickpea "tuna" sandwich filling. I usually have it on bread but it's also yummy on a romaine or kale leaf! Thanks for the tour and encouragement!

Love this video! I’m a former LWP member and I lost 40 pounds by changing my habits and cleaning up my environment!!

Capers - I like to do baked potato with sauerkraut, capers, sriracha and a drizzle of tahini.

Capers...put them in my no tuna salad..chickpea. also a great tomato sauce for pasta with olives and capers...traditionally it would have anchovies too.

I used to feel the same way about fruit. The cutting and prep was a difficult and messy. So I stopped cutting the melons and instead I use an ice cream scooper and scoop large pieces and put in another bowl. ORRR, even easier is scooping with the scooper and eating it right out of the melon! When we've scooper out everything, we can just toss the half "bowl" of rind!

Great video - nice to see a KZfaqr that shows their real fridge! I use capers in a marinade for herby lemon tofu - really delicious 🤤.

Greetings from South Australia 🇦🇺 I am 55 years old in March got diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis I going to do your great recipes to heal my MS. Lots of potatoes 🥔 to repair my myelin sheath. You look fantastic

Loved this Chels! But hun your fridge is sooo clean and organised- Wow! Super impressed! And motivated to clean mine up a bit. Thanx for that!😊

You can use capers in salad dressings. They give a briney flavor so I use it in a vegan dill caesar that I make. Yummy!

I use capers when marinating carrot lox as well as in serving with cashew cream cheese bagels. Can’t thank you enough for reaching out to me on instagram two years ago - your advice of not being scared of eating rice and beans together at the time went against everything I’d been brought up to believe. I know now that eating whole food plant based no oil keeps me healthy, slim and energetic and eating without restriction. Thank you.

I can relate about wearing glasses. I got my cataracts out so now I have perfect vision. But sometimes I’ll reach up to adjust my glasses that aren’t there. Lol!

I literally laughed when Nick came rolling in with “I’m the culprit. I love it.” 😂😂

Hey Chelsea, always enjoy a new video. You are so candid and real, I love it! Got some great ideas from this one. You gotta shell those sunflower seeds and add them to a smoothie. Big hug from California.

I love using capers in salad dressings! I just chop them up finely like you would garlic in a dressing.

Love this! I just started sharing videos on my KZfaq channel about how our family of 4 has made a WFPB lifestyle work for us for the past 14 years. Keeping it simple and always having starches prepared is key for us!

Great video. I'm beginning to understand more and more how important prepping food and meals is to my success. This way of eating is the best way I have ever found to shed unwanted weight and feel much better fast. I can see how the habits I form will help me to stick with it this time. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

Thanks for showing us your fridge, freezer, and pantry. Lots of good tips!

I haven't followed plant based diet in years but I try to eat dairy free as often as possible and I try to avoid refined sugars. My trick is if my husband or kids want something I typically like, like ice cream, I'll buy ones I either can't have because they contain wheat/gluten or a flavor I don't like, like peanut butter.

Yes, relate to you about feeling funny without glasses! They give so much structure and added contrast (especially if you have black ones). When I wear mine for a while and then use contacts, I feel almost like I have a sploogy Picasso face, lol! You look great with and without!!! Love your videos, they always help me get back on track!

I now do the whole floret separating thing since you mentioned it, so useful. Now going to implement your avocado tip.

Capers: I add them to spaghetti-squash with lemon, garlic and nutritional yeast. P.S. avocado freezes really well, which has been such a useful tip for me, because it’s ripe for like 15 minutes before going bad.

Love the Playdoh and sunflower seeds 😸 I just throw it in the fridge until I get to tossing too. Love me some baked goods. I was gifted an avocado keeper, I love now. It resembles avocado with clear plastic top, flat bottom. Store it w/ avocados on the counter or in the fridge, of course, with half avocado. I share with my dog🐶

Atomic habits is on my TBR list! Thanks for the motivation vid!

Hi fellow Kiwi! Just love looking in your fridge and in your cooking seeing all the brands we have access. Love it. Thanks for your video 😊

You are so inspiring, hope life becomes more and more easier and rewarding for you. All the best

As always... so good, and supportive. You help me stay on track.

I love CAPERS in salads!! So good along with dill pickles, dried cranberries, goat cheese (I’m only vegetarian…. I do HATE the taste of all meat), hemp hearts, nutritional yeast and all the yummy veggies, of course!!!

Your fridge and pantry are so organized! You definitely set yourself up for easy to pull together meals. Great video!

Capers are great mixed with cold tofu, mustard, vegan mayo or avocado, and put on bread (as a substitute egg salad sandwich). ❤

Loved the realistic tour of your fridge and pantry. Interested to see what you make with that bread maker as I have one that looks the same and we never use

You are not alone. I had glasses then went to contacts and finally had lazer eye surgery. I felt totally weird for a long time. Now im over 55 and have to use readers to read. So back to glasses. You look great with or without glasses. Also do you have any recipes to cook with leeks? I have never even purchased any. Thank you.

I’m just trying to start cleaning up my food and drink behaviours again. You are motivating me, so much thank you (it’s only been a week). I lost 3 1/2 stone much many years ago and I think I’ve finally crept back up to the original weight, I’m horrified at myself for allowing it to happen. The last two years have been the worst, half a stone during covid lockdown, then this year, bang a stone! It doesn’t help I’ve been diagnosed with an under active thyroid, and had a few traumas related to ageing relatives the last six months. I’ve tried regularly exercising, though need to get back to swimming, but have fond it hard to shift it, though have felt reasonably fit. I have been vegan for the last 5 years.I think as I enjoy cooking, it’s meant me being more adventurous cooking vegan cuisine, but it’s not always necessarily the most healthy! But I can’t make excuses, and for my health I need to reel it in, and shed the pounds. I’m really glad I found this channel, these are the foods I truly love, and I think the more you eat stuff like this the more you crave it, as I’ve found before, it truly is your behaviour and environment. Thanks again Chelsea.

Love this video, thank you! Good to see a kiwi family on youtube ❤

capers are good on salad, in pasta salad or in mock "tuna" made from chickpeas

Great video.

Thank you

Kmart still exists!? They went out of business early 2000s in the U.S. lmfao!

Yes! Same for me wearing glasses to contacts. I'll sometimes go to adjust my glasses, and they're not there 🤔😂 Sometimes it definitely feels like I'm missing something or forgetting something, lol

Love 💞Chelsea and love 🥰 this video. I feel better without my spectacles/glasses and don't really like wearing them. A lot of 😋 and healthy food in Chelsea's fridge. Hopefully Chelsea and family are having a great week. I don’t enjoy shopping either and do it because if I don't I don't eat.

Perhaps try fermenting some of your veg that are starting to go limp.Its fun to do with the nippers as well as being super healthy and cuts down on waste.Water n salt is all it takes😊

Chelsea, keep your tomatoes on the counter. They are so much better when you keep them there. :)

Use capers in your chickpea salads! Also, thanks for another great video. I have some very strong fridge envy going on now. All that space! Making my little apart fridge feel like a dorm fridge right now. Lol

I have this the other way around. I usually wear my contacts and then it feels uncomfy to have something on my nose. After I've taken off my glasses I can still feel the phantom glasses. 😂 I use capers in my chickpea tuna salads.

Absolutely feel naked without my glasses on!!! 😂❤

I'm with you on the pineapple.. too much work!

I see you're still rocking your corduroy pants! Nice!

I’m the same way with the glasses 😂

A lot of vegan Caesar dressings have capers in them

I often have my glasses off at home, and yes I feel naked/vulnerable 😅

Haha, my fridge sometimes has rotten things in it too.

I get the naked-face-where-are-my-glasses feeling 😅

What is the brand of your food storage containers you use in the fridge?

What's the tool you used to hold the onion while slicing it? I am scared to use a mandolin cause I've sliced my finger with one in the past but it would be so helpful to use if I had some sort of guard

I’m the opposite, i always wear contacts and if I have to wear glasses I feel like everyone is looking at my face

What is the size capacity of your fridge space? I think one of my obstacles is my fridge is too small. I'd like to compare mine to yours. I'm contemplating trying to replace it!

Great and useful tips. Love it! It sounds like you live in a Grand Theft Auto game! 😂 Hopefully, everyone was okay!

Regards to your 🤓 question - Nooooo, I loved getting my glasses off, BUT my eyes are so irritated. It drives me crazy. I wish I could wear them

I attempted contacts, but it took me like an hour to get one in and then my eye was bruised for a day. How do you do it? I might try again, but I also got a blurry/dizzy feeling walking around.

After several tries - expensive tries, I should add - I gave up on wearing contacts because I feel so uncomfortable without my glasses. My glasses hide/cover things I’m self-conscious about (sparse eyebrows, the bags under my eyes, crow’s feet, etc.), and I just honestly look better (and much younger!) with glasses on. Plus, glasses are just way more convenient. Putting contacts in, taking them out, cleaning them, all that jazz, was just so annoying for me. And I was constantly falling asleep with them in when I’d be watching movies and stuff, and I’d wake up to go to bed and realize I had them in and knew I should take them out, but I also knew if I went through the process of taking them out I’d be wide awake and wouldn’t be able to get to sleep, so I’d tell myself I’d just sleep with them in this one time,” but that happened every night. It was all just too inconvenient.

Yes! I feel the same way… naked whitout my glasses

What do you make in your breadmaker? 😊

Where do you purchase the large storage containers?

Pb2 powder? Where do you get that in NZ? Trader Joe's? Can you tell me the stuff you order from over seas and how you order?

I feel naked without glasses too

Trader Joes in NZ? Or did you bring it back from your USA trip 😊

Please consider investing in glass containers and silicone zip locs. Plastic in extreme temperatures seep into the food and they are endocrine disruptors. Do it slowly and it will be easy

Sub avocado oil for rice bran oil. Rice bran oil even though it sounds healthy is not. It's a seed oil and the way they are processed makes it very hard on the body. You can also get avocado oil in sprays. It should have a green tone to ensure it's authentic. Primal brand avocado oil is very good.

It looks like you have terrariums in your fridge 😂
