    My new favorite meal is some potatoes that I have quartered and steamed, add 1/2 C homemade refried beans, and top with storebought salsa. I'm enjoying a mango salsa. Perfect meal with a side of steamed frozen green beans. I tend to eat the same thing until it gone and I'm guessing I won't get tired of this for some time. NOTHING tastes better than homemade refried beans! They freeze well too.

      That sounds like a great meal! How do you make your refried beans? It’s not something I’ve ever done homemade but would love to try doing more often ☺️

      @@steamyvegan Yesterday I threw them in the crockpot but usually make them in the IP. REFRIED BEANS (Instant Pot)
      Yield - 6 cups
      Ingredients
      1 pound (2 cups) dry pinto beans
      2 teaspoons olive oil (I leave out the oil)
      1 small yellow onion, diced
      1 jalapeno - cored, seeded, and finely chopped
      3 cloves minced garlic
      4 cups low-sodium chicken stock or vegetable stock - divided
      3 cups water
      2 bay leaves
      1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
      1 teaspoon ground cumin
      1 teaspoon dried oregano
      1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
      Place beans in a large colander. Rinse well, and discard damaged beans. Set aside.
      Turn a 6-quart Instant Pot to SAUTE. Add the oil. Once the oil (or splash of water) is hot, add the onion and jalapeno. Sauté for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and let cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add a few splashes of stock and scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any stuck-on bits. Add the remaining stock, water, bay leaves, salt, cumin, oregano, cayenne, and beans. Stir.
      Seal the pot and cook on HIGH for 45 minutes. When the 45 minutes has passed, let the pressure release naturally for 25 minutes. Vent to release any remaining pressure. The beans will be very liquidy.
      Discard the bay leaves. Reserve 2 cups of the bean cooking liquid, and drain the remainder. Return beans to the pot. With an immersion blender (or I prefer a potato masher) puree the beans until they reach your desired consistency, adding some of the reserved liquid as needed.
      Refrigerate leftover beans or freeze up to 3 months.

    Thank you for this helpful advice. You can really see how much you believe in what you are saying - and you're also living proof. I've been plantbased for over 25 years, but have always carried around an extra twenty pounds due to my reliance on processed food and handfuls of nuts. I have been doing the starch solution for a few weeks now and I can see the results, not only in dropping the weight but also in my energy levels. I am so grateful to you and to the other content creators who I have learned from. Social media can sometimes have harmful consequences, but man, has it helped me. I couldn't do it without you and others like Hungry Vegan Mama, High Carb Hannah, and Plantiful Kiki. I wish you so much success in all you do. So appreciate you!

Recipes and hacks are great, but focusing on concrete strategies for handling the psychological aspects of longer-term success has been so useful to see from you. ❤

    Chelsea. Wow. This is so encouraging, I've part read atomic habits and this and your other video about simplifying everything is bloomin genius really. I've just started, this week using my microwave for rice. I take the rice, a big load of salad and avocado and make a sauce and it's ready in 2.5 mins and I roll it all up in nori. It's so easy and eliminating the extra steps is not obvious to us most of the time so thank you very much for these suggestions. Awesome. Thanks. X

    Really great tips, thank you Chelsea! Been following you for a little while and really appreciate your insights into losing weight on a plant based diet. Being a food blogger myself I find that there’s always a tendency to try and overcomplicate recipes with fancy ingredients and to make plant based food look like meat-based products - but I love that you show that plants are delicious just as they are and should be enjoyed and appreciated for how they nourish our bodies. ☺️ I’m definitely going to be trying the microwave potato this weekend and joining your gateway habits challenge!

    Removing obstacles is so key. It can cost more money to buy unfrozen prepped fruits and veggies, but I justify it by knowing that a healthy diet is offsetting higher health care costs in my future. Also, I use a spreadsheet to track my food choices so I don't end up with decision fatigue. As an example, every day, I eat a piece of fruit for breakfast. Mon is an apple, Tue is a pear, Wed is a banana, Thu is a peach, etc. So in one sense, I eat the 'same thing' every day (a piece of fruit), but I eat a different fruit each day. That way, I get a variety of nutrients each week and from all colors of the rainbow. I do the same with daily servings of beans and veggies and salads and grains and so forth.

    I want to thank you for all that you share. I recently had gained due to binging and your podcast has really just helped me think of some things differently. I’m slowly fitting my clothes again - yay!
    Anyways, I just found you on all of your platforms haha #iguessimacreep 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Part of my problem is worrying about the actual losing of 'weight.' Worrying about being 'healthy' if I lose weight. Conciously I will tell you that I'm not worried, but really, I am. It's a life time worry. I know better, so I'll take it one lb at a time. BTW, I've lost 80 lbs, but keep going back to 'legal' eating to gain weight, again and again. Fear is a strong motivator.

We can also buy cherry tomatoes and baby carrots. I have some in my fridge. They are not cheap though. $7.99 for a punnet of cherry tomatoes. I agree frozen vegetables are a good way to go.
