I didn't have success for 3 years after going Whole Food Plant-Based no oil, no sugar. But Dr. Greger's 21 tweaks finally helped me. Apple Cider vinegar and amla and the spices have done wonders for cravings. I work at night and don't sleep and drank a lot of caffeine and used things like mouthwash and all of those things turn out to increase insulin resistance and blood sugar spikes, so until I added in the amla and apple cider vinegar and spices, I would eat High Carb Hannah's broccoli potato soup and I would still feel like I was starving after 7 or 8 cups of it and then, 2 hours later I would have rebound hunger and sugar cravings. I no longer have rebound hunger and now 3 cups of the vegan chili I made filled me up. I had never experienced satiety until now. 3 years into this process I finally started losing weight.
I hadn't been craving anything. Then a friend stopped by and dropped off some ooey-gooey pastries. A lot. I tried to say, "Not so many" and "We can't eat that many". They were left here anyway. I thought, I'd freeze them and then every once in awhile if I felt like one, I'd get one and thaw it. But no, they were looking at me. And they go so good with a hot cup of coffee. And I spiraled. I ate three. It was garbage night, and I was glad - I chucked out the ones that were left. I knew if they'd stay in my house, even frozen, they'd call me. I know I would not be able to resist. So, yes, get stuff like that out of your space!!
I had cravings for something very sweet a couple of days ago and managed to satisfy them by eating dried plums or dried apricots. They were very sweet but also have fiber. Eating more veggies has also helped me a lot.
I just listened to a podcast (old one) while I was walking. I'm 52 and was fairly sedentary till recently, so listening to your podcasts are great to get me through my step! Thank you for all the great info here and there ☺️
THIS WAS GREAT! I think for me I need a plan. I have 2 teenage boys that eat. all. the. time. I will occasionally get them treats so completely removing things from my environment is hard, even if I move it, I know its there. If I have something ready in the fridge or freezer than I can usually handle the craving. And keeping the consistency is key. Once I slip back into a bad habit i have to work twice as hard to stop it. once you invest the time to rewire your thinking, dont mess it up!!
You are so wise beyond your years . Every time I hope on your Chanel I learn something. When I want junk I will eat veggies / starch first plus cleaned my entire environment and brought all tempting cakes and frostings and cereals to my local food bank and all my 5 bags of choc chips . So ty so much feel great about moving forward in my journey
Thank you Chelsea, this is a great video. I also think realising that you are a human being and eating healthy is always going to be difficult regardless of where you might be on your WFPB journey. OFC ice cream is going to taste better than steamed broccoli, but if you follow the WFPB lifestyle, then these foods become LESS palatable and you crave whole foods more. BUT these highly palatable foods will always be around us whether we like it or not. Food is just food and we need to understand it while giving it less meaning and intense emotional connection in our lives, as to make us feel like inherently 'bad' or 'evil' people.
I'm honestly surprised you don't have WAY more subscribers. I'm currently 285lb and I've started watch your videos. I lost 5 lbs this week (I don't expect this to keep up), but so far, I've eaten more veggies this week than I normally do in 3 weeks. I'm not veagan, but like to see veggie options to cook that aren't "Hey this thing cooked this way is just like meat", because it is never like meat. So far, my favorite thing to eat is a baked potatoe, salsa and greek yogurt. Sounds obvious, but I've started cooking with a lot less fat thanks to you (oil and butter) and only adding it when I think it's needed (and only a tsp or so). Please keep this up. Hopefully in a year I can say I'm down to 220lb.
Well said ❤ thanks! I am going wfpb and trying to lose 10 pounds. I am 63 and have counted calories to lose weight most of my life. I am exhausted from chronic dieting. It's time for a big change.
Thank you for explaining this! I am beginning to get over the hurdle of unhealthy snacks-which sabotages me every time!! Eliminating the cue and being prepped are the key! You’re brilliant, thank you!
So glad I came across your channel-Chelsea Mae you are amazing! Love your videos, they are so fun to watch and I’ve learned so much! I’m 48 years old, I’ve been pescatarian for three years, and completely eliminated dairy this past January as well as added oil and fat which has made a huge difference. I’m now trying to lose my last 10-15 lbs. and I believe you and your knowledge are exactly the keys and inspiration I needed to get there! Thank you thank you thank you!
Excellent video and info! Was craving crazy treat today after husband college graduation party left overs of plain ruffle potatoes chips and vegan baked beans … sweet and salty . But cleaned for a little bit instead and then made steamed potatoes, broccoli and kidney beans with lemon liquid aminos and onion powder, garlic powder, and nutch craving vanished :)
Oh, my gosh! I just found you! I tried the keto diet and failed miserably, no wonder with all the fat you have to eat. I saw your oatmeal recipes video and I'm going to try that. Wish me luck!
HERBAL teas… or green/black teas… can be craving killers! Sometimes after a big dinner I almost crave sugar just to perk myself up. However, I realize I don’t truly need sugar after a huge meal. Tonight I ate loads of lentils, brown rice, garlic 🧄 onion 🧅 and broccoli 🥦 I felt a little sluggish from fullness and considered a little coconut based ice cream sandwich. Then I saw I had already made myself a nice warm cup of Stash Dragon Chai tea 😊 🫖 It’s just herbs, no green or black tea so it’s perfect for late at night. PLUS these teas often help stimulate digestion! It has ginger, cinnamon, clove. I thanked my past self who made the tea and realized I was already full of carbs and ate fatty foods as a snack earlier in the day (yogurt with peanut butter and fruit!). So I really didn’t need the extra fat and refined sugar close to bedtime. Herbal teas and teas in general can really work wonders… So long as we don’t do what my younger self did and add a bunch of sugar or coffee creamer 😊
Sherrie here- this really made sense to me. My eating has been out of control and moods all over the place! I have some serious changes to incorporate into my mind set!
It is hard to change my environment because I am vegan and my husband is the typical USA diet eater. BUT I do make sure his foods have their place in our kitchen and my foods are seen by me easier. It helps tremendously. I wanted to have something of his earlier but instead I ate a banana and a avacodo. Good filling fat and a filling banana that had also been filling and full of sweetness.
Chelsea, your videos just keep getting better and better! Thank you for the fantastic information. Your hard work and dedication help so many people 💕 My new strategy: stuff my face with veggies before I give into the craving
Cakeless 🤣 Great video 😊 I am new at being vegan (85% still struggles with dinner) I found that finding vegan treats that are healthy I make better choices. If I’m craving I ask myself if a piece of fruit sounds good. If not, I drink some water. If it sounds good I eat fruit😊 my treat go to lately is 2 medjool dates with a tiny bit of almond butter yummmm
This came at the perfect time! Last night I was craving chocolate like crazy...I try to eat only 1 square after supper but I wanted the whole bar and it haunted me all night! I snacked on peas and apples but still wanted it, it was a rough night lol
@@bbqutie17 Cherry chocolate nice cream is delicious! I add spinach when I do that one because you can't taste it with the cherries 😋 ...but it's hard to stop ! So good lol
You might either have magnesium deficiency or blood sugar issues. That is what I have learned. I used to think that I was addicted to chocolate and I gained 100 pounds on it. But someone said that if your body craves something you might have a deficiency and I started making sure that I had enough magnesium and the chocolate cravings lessened. Then, when I used glycemic support from amla and apple cider vinegar, the cravings for sugar went away. I didn't know how many things can cause insulin resistance. Working night shift can cause it. Not sleeping enough causes it. Using mouthwash causes it. Eating too much fat or sugar causes it. Drinking soda causes it. Too much caffeine causes it. I thought that I was safe because I was whole food plant based vegan no oil but I had so many other risk factors that I needed extra support.
EXCELLENT RUclips!!! I loved your interview with Andrew you are such a great interviewer and that's so fabulous to people I just love so much chatting!!! You also both are bringing up vegan kids. Anyway I'm going to try and move the visual cues that set off my cravings and just keep air fried potatoes around for when I feel vulnerable or eat an apple. Thanks again for such an excellent RUclips!!!!!
Fun fact for ladies: women's bodies need on average a couple hundred more calories per day before menstruation. Might even be why we crave so hard in general beforehand... because we're hungrier. I'm only 5' so maybe like 120cal more for me. But you get the idea.
I’m ravenous before shark week and don’t have much of an appetite afterwards. It would all be so easy if we only ate for fuel and never had the feeling of hunger. 😞😞😞😞
C M this is me, too. Have you found any good tips. My other problem is that when I do lose my appetite…..I not only enjoy eating that much, but I tend to eat worse. It’s almost like I’m looking for that perfect junk food…
absolutely right! And that´s why always try to be in a deficit doesn´t work on the long term run. Our body works in such complicated way and it´s hard to look inside from the outside. The best would be to never come in a place (trough diets and calory counting) that our body thinks he must store every extra calory because maybe tomorrow he´s starving again!
This was helpful! Next time I'm going getting full with healthy foods first and then seeing if I still want the " craved" food. Sometimes, I find that cravings or binging comes about when I've been restricting too much and feel unsatisfied with my meals. This is def a red flag for me so I have been experimenting with just giving into my cravings b/c once I do it goes away and I don't have any issues again until I fall into restricting too much again. I think I need to find a good balance of meals that are healthy and satisfying so that it's sustainable. Thanks for this video!
I really liked this video. Clear description of the crave cycle with realistic, concrete actions one can take to change behavior. This is helpful, practical information. Thank you!
I'm making a special menu to be prepared. Yay, guilt free monthly. Bumping up the protein wasn't working, but baked sweet potato slices with guacamole will. Thank you for the "cheat" tips this video & others (sweet & savory) REALLY helpful.
Thank you Chelsea, this makes so much sense! I just started watching your videos and have been so inspired to eat way more veggies (I’ve been a vegetarian for like 20 years but I see that eating more veggies is a great way to fill up and lose weight! I just had the experience at the grocery store where I saw the chocolate bars at the checkout and noticed I started craving one. Instead I looked down at what I was buying and decided to eat a banana instead. I noticed it really did the trick!
I eat my 3 big meals and a few low fat snacks and am still hungry. Eating a big bowl of oats makes me FAMISHED immediately. I haven’t heard anyone else address this but it happens every time without fail
my husband and I both eat oatmeal and then need more food!! So I am with you and I often wonder why I am so different from the folks who say it makes them full all morning!!
@@sgageasl8773 maybe your portion is too small?? Or not adding things or toppings into it? Or y’all are just hungry or which is perfectly ok maybe try having it eggs or something on the side
If you burn lots of calories you'll have to eat more than average. I have a condition where even sat still I burn calories. Sounds wonderful but can be dangerous as you start to waste muscle so I eat an additional 500 calories
Chelsea thank for sharing such helpful advice/information! Been learning so much and I really appreciate you! You’re such a beautiful person inside and out. You don’t know me but just wanted to say I love ya 😄
Thank you so much for this info Chelsea, it has been really helpful to me learning about calorie density and the practical comparisons of the meals show me exactly where I have been unknowingly piling on the calories!
Incorporating all of them because I've been slacking and getting back on track is hard especially when you're a mother of a 1 year old who's walking all over the place and when I finally get a minute to myself sometimes all I want is a snack or something sweet but that is the problem 😩 and I no longer want to feel bad for myself and keeping beating myself up for gaining extra weight on my weight loss journey, because it's really discouraging, I feel like I have so many issues with staying consistent once I reach a certain mark 😕 I just hope it gets better after this, I get hungry so easily
I also do these things, like putting the "once in a while treats" out of sight. Putting home baked goods away in a cupboard (out of sight) instead of leaving them "in arms reach" or out on the counter.
Got any tips for ‘tired o’clock’ - aka 3/4pm time to start dinner and deal with ratty/tired/hungry kids, then dinner bath bed? It’s around now I always reach for a sugar hit. Too late in the day for coffee. Love your work. Thanks.
What an excellent video. I really liked how you providing education on what a craving is and how to help deal with them. I use the visual cue by hiding the cue as well. That works really well for me.
my biggest problem is ordering takeout. It feels like an uphill battle just going to the kitchen and boil some pasta or whatever. I really want to make it a habit to cook and not see it as this dreadful task that I currently do.
Hi Chelsea Mae, thanks for a really great video. I need to change my environment, but not always easy with a family...such as the birthday cake in your fridge. I'm gonna try to fill up more on the good stuff too. ❤🙏😘
this comes in the best moment! Will try to deal with the craving by eating something different than what I crave! I am already at the point of craving fruit instead of sugary stuff but will try up my veggies with some creamy meal or a comfy soup! Let's see if my brain can change! Thanks for the inspiration
This is such a good video! You get right to the problem and how to deal with it. Do you have a background in psychology? Your videos are so well done and helpful. Thank you!
Thank you!! I don’t have a background in psychology but I think understanding human behaviour is the key to change. I read a as much as I can on the subject and am always trying to learn more.
OMG, I Freakin' LOVE You!!! Lol. :D Thank you for this Amazing vid Chelsea. I'm a newbie to your channel and found your info, ideas, and energy Such an immense help in working on my eating habits and creating healthier options for my family and me. Can't thank you enough! One of the better vids I've watched in a Hot Minute.
Hey Chels, this video is really helpful. I have a question, what if the food isn't in sight. But the thought about eating these foods types of foods enters your brain? I really struggle with this. Sometimes I distract myself and other times, I give in.
Hey Chels, thk you so much for this very well needed video!!!! I have an honest question: you talk about losing weight on this kind of diet without being dogmatic, but then, why don't you enjoy some cake or the food of your friends some times and not restrict or take own food? Do u think it would some how trigger food patterns?
I do enjoy some cake and crackers occasionally. But I don’t want to be controlled by the urge to eat those foods constantly. It’s hard to say no to those hyper stimulating foods, and the less I do it (especially in my home environment) the less I want to. If you’re eating cake constantly you crave it. If you hardly ever eat it you can get on with your life and forget about it.
I made the plan to only eat things like cake when I eat out. A slice of something with a coffee is far less fattening than five slices off the cake in the fridge.
100% true and definitely a strategy for environment playing a role in shaping behaviour. I’ve done something similar a long time. Keep my home environment shaping the behaviour I want and more lenient when out. Associations are powerful

giving up refined sugar helped change everything for me! it's kinda crazy how addictive it can be and how used to it we get!!
Huge help! That high is addictive for sire
Same!
I didn't have success for 3 years after going Whole Food Plant-Based no oil, no sugar. But Dr. Greger's 21 tweaks finally helped me. Apple Cider vinegar and amla and the spices have done wonders for cravings. I work at night and don't sleep and drank a lot of caffeine and used things like mouthwash and all of those things turn out to increase insulin resistance and blood sugar spikes, so until I added in the amla and apple cider vinegar and spices, I would eat High Carb Hannah's broccoli potato soup and I would still feel like I was starving after 7 or 8 cups of it and then, 2 hours later I would have rebound hunger and sugar cravings.

I hadn't been craving anything. Then a friend stopped by and dropped off some ooey-gooey pastries. A lot. I tried to say, "Not so many" and "We can't eat that many". They were left here anyway.

Chelsea, it's like you were reading my mind! I've been trying for months to stop eating vegan junk food and just can never get to stopping.
Do these tips help? Habit change is so incredibly powerful. I’ve only just touched on it here but it is the game changer, not willpower.

@@sgageasl8773 maybe your portion is too small?? Or not adding things or toppings into it? Or y’all are just hungry or which is perfectly ok maybe try having it eggs or something on the side
If you burn lots of calories you'll have to eat more than average. I have a condition where even sat still I burn calories. Sounds wonderful but can be dangerous as you start to waste muscle so I eat an additional 500 calories
Chelsea thank for sharing such helpful advice/information! Been learning so much and I really appreciate you! You’re such a beautiful person inside and out. You don’t know me but just wanted to say I love ya 😄
Thank you Sarah! Stoked it can help you!! Appreciate you!!
Great advice, Chelsea Mae. I'm sharing this with my friends!
Thank you!! Appreciate that and so glad it can help you!
Thank you so much for this info Chelsea, it has been really helpful to me learning about calorie density and the practical comparisons of the meals show me exactly where I have been unknowingly piling on the calories!
Brilliant! I’ve been doing this without knowing the science. Your explanation was great! ❤️
Incorporating all of them because I've been slacking and getting back on track is hard especially when you're a mother of a 1 year old who's walking all over the place and when I finally get a minute to myself sometimes all I want is a snack or something sweet but that is the problem 😩 and I no longer want to feel bad for myself and keeping beating myself up for gaining extra weight on my weight loss journey, because it's really discouraging, I feel like I have so many issues with staying consistent once I reach a certain mark 😕 I just hope it gets better after this, I get hungry so easily
Big James Clear fan here.Loved your video
Love what you are doing Chelsea. Love the video you did about failure and perfectionism. Brilliant. Thank you.
I also do these things, like putting the "once in a while treats" out of sight. Putting home baked goods away in a cupboard (out of sight) instead of leaving them "in arms reach" or out on the counter.
Awesome tips! Still working out what it means to eat enough so to reduce cravings.... also love the planning in advance hint👍👍
Thx 4 this!
Thank you for your excellent advice!
This video is so great, amazing way to explain how habits are formed and what to do about it...thank you!
I'm actively focusing on increasing my veggie intake and this information is helpful!
Great tips! Thank you 🙏🏻
Such a good explanation!! Thank you Chels! ✌🏽
Thank you, this is a great video, I like your style of explaining.
Got any tips for ‘tired o’clock’ - aka 3/4pm time to start dinner and deal with ratty/tired/hungry kids, then dinner bath bed? It’s around now I always reach for a sugar hit. Too late in the day for coffee. Love your work. Thanks.
What an excellent video. I really liked how you providing education on what a craving is and how to help deal with them. I use the visual cue by hiding the cue as well. That works really well for me.
my biggest problem is ordering takeout. It feels like an uphill battle just going to the kitchen and boil some pasta or whatever. I really want to make it a habit to cook and not see it as this dreadful task that I currently do.
Information.. helpful..helpful 👍👍
Thank you Chelsea! Excellent info💐
Great video! Best one yet. Rock on Chelsea!
Perfect timing with this video - thank you so much!
You are teaching us so good thank you.
Your great!!! ....big thankyou!!! 💟💟💟
Hi Chelsea Mae, thanks for a really great video. I need to change my environment, but not always easy with a family...such as the birthday cake in your fridge. I'm gonna try to fill up more on the good stuff too. ❤🙏😘
Awesome job with this video! Fantastic information that we can put into action. Thank you, Chelsea 🥰❣️❣️❣️
Such a good video! Thank you 🙏🏽 loved the tips on planning for time of the month cravings. Thanks again
This is a wonderful video. Thank you so much :-)
this comes in the best moment! Will try to deal with the craving by eating something different than what I crave! I am already at the point of craving fruit instead of sugary stuff but will try up my veggies with some creamy meal or a comfy soup! Let's see if my brain can change! Thanks for the inspiration
This is such a good video! You get right to the problem and how to deal with it. Do you have a background in psychology? Your videos are so well done and helpful. Thank you!
Thank you!! I don’t have a background in psychology but I think understanding human behaviour is the key to change.
I read a as much as I can on the subject and am always trying to learn more.
Loved this videp, thankyou so much!❤🙂
Great video!!

OMG, I Freakin' LOVE You!!! Lol. :D Thank you for this Amazing vid Chelsea.

Best advice EVER
Key... eat enough. Eat till full, and eat again when hungry.
Love you chels. Reading atomic habits (thank u)!!!💗
I really really need to concentrate on sugar cravings!!!
Hey Chels, this video is really helpful. I have a question, what if the food isn't in sight. But the thought about eating these foods types of foods enters your brain? I really struggle with this. Sometimes I distract myself and other times, I give in.
Thank you for these wonderful tips ;-)
Hi Chels , thank you so much 😊 this makes so much sense and so interesting 💕
Excellent advice 💕🙏💯
I was hoping to know about the green Popsicle
Good video.
You are brilliant.
Hey Chels, thk you so much for this very well needed video!!!! I have an honest question: you talk about losing weight on this kind of diet without being dogmatic, but then, why don't you enjoy some cake or the food of your friends some times and not restrict or take own food? Do u think it would some how trigger food patterns?
I do enjoy some cake and crackers occasionally. But I don’t want to be controlled by the urge to eat those foods constantly. It’s hard to say no to those hyper stimulating foods, and the less I do it (especially in my home environment) the less I want to.
If you’re eating cake constantly you crave it. If you hardly ever eat it you can get on with your life and forget about it.
Love your videos!
Thank you so much!!!!!!
Really good👍🏽👍🏽
Watching RUclips makes me crave snacks-LOL!!
This is so helpful!
I made the plan to only eat things like cake when I eat out. A slice of something with a coffee is far less fattening than five slices off the cake in the fridge.
100% true and definitely a strategy for environment playing a role in shaping behaviour. I’ve done something similar a long time. Keep my home environment shaping the behaviour I want and more lenient when out. Associations are powerful
