Why This YouTuber Will Never Lose Weight | Foodie Beauty
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- @foodieb aka Chantal Marie is a TH-camr who can't decide whether she's a Mukbang channel or on a public Weight Loss journey. She's famous for her cycle of eating insane amounts of food one day - and promising to diet and get healthy the next. Her ambivalence about changing her behaviour is fuelled by the battle between her many health concerns and her love of binge eating.
In this video we'll be discussing why Chantal Marie may as well not bother dieting again - unless she's willing to address her fast food obsession first. I discuss how her desire to continue eating the way she has been makes it impossible for her to change her behaviour. We also talk about how you can lose weight if you have a fast food obsession the way Foodie Beauty does.
Most of the science in this video has come from a book by Dr. James Prochaska called "Changing for Good" (amzn.to/2yoBeoi) - about the States of Change and how to successfully change our behaviour.
Hope it has been helpful!

I love fast food, but I can't imagine eating it daily, or even close to daily
same here
Same. If I ate the same food daily (or even close to it). I would feel tired of that food. I kinda believe that food lose it's magic and taste when you eat it daily.
Exactly. Even fast food two days in a row is gonna make me throw up. Once or twice a month is enough.
As someone who's parents are typically busy, we DO have fast food every day. I wouldn't say when it comes to weight or health that we're tragic, but ya' know,
*sigh*
This isn't any different from "I love beer but I can't imagine drinking it daily, or even multiple a day" there's people who get addicted and people who don't. I can drink for a week straight and not get addicted but I'm addicted to fastfood (and fighting it). I eat it like once a week or twice if its a bad week but it's still really hard cause you just constantly crave it. Fastfood addiction is real and we should treat it for what it is: an addiction. I can't imagine being addicted to alcohol, I never was and never will be, but that doesn't mean that it's not a real struggle that many have.
I remember the day I stopped smoking. My chest hurt so bad, like sharp pain whenever I smoked. I called my husband (who smokes way more than me and for a longer period of time) and he just goes "yeah, that happens" and at that point, is when I stopped smoking. It wasn't worth it for me anymore. It wasn't worth risking my health just to smoke and waste money. I haven't picked up another ciggerette since then :) almost 4 months now.
happy for you!!
That’s 👏 awesome
YESSS YOU GOOOO!!! keep it upp :D u and ur health is really important, i believe in you :))
My parents say that quit smoking was one of the hardest things that they have ever done. Keep it up 😁
Way to go you!!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Framing healthy food as "I deserve to treat myself with delicious, real food" instead of "I'm eating this as a punishment, and I wish I was eating fast food" really helped me reframe my own fast food addiction. Now I'm excited about cooking and I love how I feel after I eat, and I always feel like I'm treating myself, instead of punishing myself.
same. I really love biting down on a nice juicy tomato, it´s a better treat than having chocolate imo.
My weight loss has had nothing to do with mental tricks like that. It was watching a video called 'sugar the bitter truth' and another one that talked about the triggers that tell you when you have had enough to eat and changing my diet to have less of the foods that don't trigger that response and more of the ones that do.
This is so true. I do it out of self love and now it's so much easier
@@olstar18 Well it may have not worked for you but it definitely worked for me
@@cloudysaturnn It left me feeling like I was starving making it harder to avoid snacking.
Dude. I stopped eating fast food cause it's so expensive. It genuinely feels good making my own meals. When I prepare a good meal at home I'm like " yea. I did that "
This is what ive always said. People say eating healthy is too expensive, but go spend $15 dollars on a meal at KFC.. Or $20 on a pizza.. With $15 I can eat damn good ALL day with home cooking
Restaurants are even worse. Is it convenient? Of course, but it’s going to cost you 4-5x as much for a comparable meal you could make at home in the amount of time you spend waiting for your order at the restaurant.
Same 🙌 and ppl really like my cooking so that just makes me want to make more and get even better at it. I’ve come a long way from when I was in my 20s to now. Keep it up
Especially if you batch cook and freeze several portions for when you need something quick
@@trollkiller1008 ye i never understood the argument that fast food is cheaper... just buy groceries and put an hour of your time, you can event cook for 2-3 days at once if you are busy...
I used to say things like “that’s a problem for future Helena” but now I am future Helena and everything sucks
You can still change things! Do it for future Helena! :)
I hope current Helena and future Helena are doing okay!
Girl same 🙃 edit: I'd also like to mention that Helena is such a beautiful name! :)
I feel that on a spiritual level 😂
Helena, I'm 55 and in my future MsChristine. And I'm doing it. You can too.
Once you get used to well-seasoned, well-cooked healthy food, fast food starts to taste like plastic and cardboard. I feel like a lot of people think that eating healthy means munching on kale all day.
Gabriela true though
Right? Like I love going out to eat, but I'd rather wait for a high quality restaurant meal than have fast food. Also, food is culturally important. And fast food just takes away from that
@@mariannafigueiredo9835 "Also, food is culturally important. And fast food just takes away from that".
This. People don't speak about this as much as we should. When people talk about eating out, they're always talking about fast food, and I think it's because they're Americans and that's what they understand for eat out. I mean, I like fast food once in a while, but there are other options (and don't have to be much pricier really). It's not like you can't get fat eating traditional food (my grandfather was quite fat and he didn't eat a pizza or a hamburger in his life), but those foods are not designed to be adictive like fast food, and therefore is more difficult to be a food addict.
Thanks for the truest statement I'll read today.
Kinda, I was raised on lovely home cooked meals, my partner of 10 years used to be a chef in two different 3 Michelin star kitchens here in the U.K., and I’m a good cook. I also love fruit and vegetables, I have a relatively healthy diet but sometimes I crave a double cheeseburger.
I should say, before someone else says it, British food is not bad like the stereotype says. That stereotype comes from WW2, American GI’s were stationed here when the country was going through extreme rationing which meant that families had to cook weird and wonderful combinations just to be able to feed their family some kind of meal. While doing that those families still invited the GI’s to dinner despite barely having enough for themselves, then the GI’s went home to America and told everyone here the food here is weird and bland, which it was at the time, there were crazy naval blockades blocking spices and other food coming to our tiny islands.
Def true, I hardly eat fast food, but instead cook and eat delicious, healthy food. And I love it, as I have so much more energy than my unhealthy food.
My rock bottom came around 5 months ago. I wasn’t humiliated in front of a crowd of people. The doctors concerns about my weight, blood pressure and heart rate didn’t cause me to contemplate being serious about chaning. Teetering on the cusp of diabetes wasn't enough motivation. No my rock bottom moment came one night just over 5 months ago when I couldn’t get out the bath.
I changed the way I ate that very night. It’s been just over 5 months and I have lost around 56lbs so far, going from 303lbs to 247lbs. I went from eating junk 3-4 days a week, bingeing on procesed snacks at all hours of the day to not having any of that type of food.
WOW!!!! Great job! You are going to feel SO much BETTER!!!
Wow you are amazing ive been trying to lose ten pounds for over. AYear now and havent lost anything. A few pounds down a few up again. You are simply amazing!
I'm so proud of you! It is still good to treat yourself every once and a while if you'd like it, but in moderation of course. I bet you feel so much better!
@@notequalto5179 yeah everyone should treat themselves every day to the best food. Not to junk. Why would you consider it a " treat" to occasionally indulge an addiction? That's bizzare.
@@Padraigp what I'm trying to get at is not supporting an addiction but not going to the opposite end where you completely villainize certain foods. As she makes healthier choices over time she would probably be less likely to eat fast food overall, but could still eat it occasionally if she wanted. Trying to completely avoid it permanently might encourage binging.
Junk Food is seriously like heroine once you get hooked. The faces and sounds the food TH-camrs make is like actual euphoria.
I do not believe that it is an addiction, actually. It is rather the slippery slope of guilt.
It can be both. It does get addicting. It was for me because its all I knew so going to healthy options was more expensive at first since going out to eat was what my family did(takeout).going to healthy for a while was good then that 1 time threw me back. It can also be comfort/nostalgia can play a part. Learning fast things I can cook and meal prep made it easy for me now with all the seasonings and options! It takes a LOT of willpower and self reflection to maintain. Many in this situation dont want to or cant do it for whatever reason
@@thepaesesai That sounds like the addiction is for something other than the actual junk food.
@@ladymacbethofmtensk896 it is an addiction. It does have a physical effect in your brain. It is also an easy addiction to quit because healthy food also releases the exact same chemicals. It's not like going from drugs to sober, it's like going from fentanyl to heroin
@@feather9115 I imagine that when you gulp the food so quickly that you never actually taste it, that physical effect on the brain will be rather limited.
can we as a society, change the phrase "go on a diet" to "change my diet"?
Your diet is what you eat, even if it's bad stuff. So you're technically just changing what you eat
yes! most people think they can just eat salads for 2 months, loose the weight and then continue with their greasy fast food diet.
AMEN yes i didnt go on a diet.... i changed the way i eat. period.
Yeah, this is literally why so many people never give a chance to good eating, it’s not like you are “going on a diet” because that means at some point you are going to finish that “diet” it’s more like getting your mindset from “doing a diet” to “changing my life style” it’s just eating healthy overall, you don’t have to give up fast food or the things that you love, just have them in a more moderate way, that’s it, it isn’t impossible you just have to understand that it’s the best for you 😄
Luis Javier Tudela Ghersi exactly. and if you really love fast food that much, doesn’t it make you happier having that very special meal twice a month than everyday, so you’ve something to look forward to!
I’ve been saying this. I lost 25 lbs since quarantine by just running 4-5 times a week and intermittent fasting with two meals a day, 1 good and filling one and one smaller ‘okay’ meal. I never felt like I had to change the way I eat, just ate less often and when I did, I ate the healthy foods more often and the bad ones less often.
She uploaded a video talking about this video and she had the nerve to say "how do you know I'll never lose weight" while shoving chicken wings, mac n cheese bites, French fries and cheesecake in her mouth. While eating fast food EVERY SINGLE DAY. She can't handle any kind of criticism. She has no self control whatsoever
If she eats like that she won't lose weight common sense. To lose you have to restrict your diet I only eat like a whole pizza when I am starving lol I usually eat about 2700 calories but this is a salad and a shake 2 servings of animal protein a day some fruit and some thing for dinner. I don't eat fast food all too much because I was obese.
@@ichoosemysanity6467 my nigga thats crazy but i dont remember asking
@@mikegainer8371 I wasn't talking to you random guy 🤷
Could you post the link? I can't seem to find that video
@@agentarachnid2009 I think I found it! It's the one 'mukbang buffalo wild wings, fried mac n cheese and cheesecake factory ' shes wearing a polka dot shirt amd the thumbnail says "my weight is my business "
I was 412 pounds a few years ago, and struggled to start my weight loss journey. Then one day I realized that three years earlier I had told myself I would start losing weight, and had not. I then wondered what I would look like at that time if I had spent those three years doing the right thing. Five years later I am down 200 pounds and working on toning up. Know the pain of discipline, or know the pain of regret.
Hey wow! Great job! Keep it up!!
Great work - congratulations! 🥳👍🏼
👏🎉
I have been Foodie Beauty in my life. Going from "I can do this!" To "weight loss is basically impossible". Then I saw the number on the scale. 95 kg at 163m. I was devastated. I finally told myself that I was gonna do it. Recently my mom told me not to wear a hoodie I really like and when I asked why she said "It's way too big for you you look 10kg fatter!"
She bought me that hoodie. I was ecstatic.
Now I'm not giving up, giving in, or letting myself get back where I started. I just got absolutely blasted with motivation and I'm gonna do it. So far I have lost 7kg and I can't be happier. I feel much more energized, and my mood has noticeably improved. People have started complimenting me on my weight. I'm doing this and I promised myself that if I relapse again I would go to a psychologist.
Update: 17kg down!!! I can't believe I actually did this!!! So excited to see this through!
I’m so happy for you … stay motivated !!
I hope you're still doing well! Addiction can be so cruel
Hope you're doing well on your journey! Certainly sounds like you are amazingly motivated 🙂
Yeah you have to eat more, only 95kilos? At 163 meters? Sorry but your gargantuan ass is gonna have to start eating elephants by the literal ton
Weight loss is like marriage in one sense: when the motivating fire is mostly cinders and ash, the loss slows down and frankly, you're just worn out, that's when the hard work begins (like marriage when you're not feeling the heat, lol.) Keep at it. I lost from 215 to 160 in 8 months; winter was my "season of discontent" but I made it through. God bless.
I've always felt like there's a weird sexual aspect to the whole mukbang phenomena and makes me really uncomfortable I'm not gonna lie
well there's a thing called feeders and some obese mukbangers make videos specifically targeted towards/made for those feeders hence all the moaning and overall exaggeration
@@christmastree6817 I'm not opposed to it if that's what gets you off and if it makes two consenting adults happy more power to them, but it makes me personally a little bit uncomfortable, especially when it's the weird like Asian seafood ones where the sh*t is still alive and like flailing around on the plate that's kind of sad actually
@@gildedpeahen876 yeah i feel like it becomes kind of worrying when its like an irl relationship where they're pretty much having their partner eat themselves to death
@Amber’s Imperfections but adults have the right to destroy their health if that's their choice. Drinking is one of the most destructive and harmful activities on Earth, but no one is about to stop doing it, nor should they have to. Your rights/choices end where my nose begins
You probably watched those TH-camrs who stuff themselves with 5 pounds of burgers and showings no table manners. I only watch Stephanie Soo who eats together with her fiancée because her true crime stories are awesome
I use to be 350lbs, now I’m 166lbs which I lost naturally, I watch her through reaction channels as a reminder of what I never want to be again
That's awesome that you lost all that weight and also see her as an inspiration to keep it off!
I’m sorry but she is anything but an inspiration to me, not because of her eating or weight but because of how she behaves towards others. She is more of a warning.
Amy Rose that’s what she meant I think, an inspiration not to gain haha. Also good job!!
Silvia C I have a lot of extra hanging skin in my arms, thighs and belly but insurance doesn’t cover removal so I just deal with it
Amy Rose What about scarring and stretch marks, if you don’t mind me asking? My boyfriend is around 400lbs and I want to know if we can minimize those over time.
“I don’t want to live to 70-80 eating kale.”
But… you don’t HAVE to eat kale. All you have to do is substitute your current fast food obsession to a healthier but still tasty alternative. I struggled making healthier choices until I found the right salad that I love, the right soup that I make myself, and the right food for me. I didn’t even “diet” per se, just changed my eating habits. After 2 years of that, I went out and got a McDonalds burger and I couldn’t finish the thing because it tasted like cardboard.
She/ They know, but they have to pretend that moderation = slavery and murder.
I’d love to eat some kale chips till I’m 80. They’re tasty!
Mcdonalds burgers ARE like cardboard. Dry and the taste is onions cheese amd ketchup *as is*
@@MsGore92 i could eat kale chips every day they're so much better than potato chips especially sprinkled with sesame seeds
If you don't like plain kale (who does??) all you have to do is cut it up and cook it in the pan with whatever you're making (like meat, eggs, rice, or whatever) and you cant even really taste it, and it shrinks alot when you cook it (like spinach) so you can cram a ton of kale in there haha
I watch these videos to keep me on track.
I am down 20lbs so far from my starting weight of 225.
I only have 6 more pounds until I will finally be under 200 for the first time since 2016/2017.
My goal is 160, and then my ultimate goal is around 140.
Edited to update:
I am now down a total of 40lbs, and am at 185. I fell off track for a little bit after a very traumatic life situation, but got back on track and am still going, watching the number on the scale go down and down, feels more amazing than any junk food could ever taste...
Let alone, my body is feeling much better. I am in less pain and have been feeling more energetic and can run faster!
That's wonderful, it's great that you've made such a huge progress.
I'm proud of you, best of luck you can do it.
I started like you 5 years a go. Been up and down and for a while I bounced around 180 to 200 for a few years. I just today got to 156. I also wanna be 140. It is HARD. But that's already a over 50lbs. Great job now I just gotta deal with the body dysmorphia
@@tananiayou've got this I believe in you!!!
The body dysmorphia is definitely for real.
No matter how many people tell me how "good" I look, I still see that really overweight person in the mirror.
... ditto...
Brilliant! Keep strong.
People that moan and groan while eating drive me insane!!! Even more so, people that say food isnt addicting are crazy. Sugar is literally a drug.
It's so repulsive and...vile, honestly.
Just gross.
I think for some people, those sounds is like "sex sounds"
Thats why some called it "food porn" 🤣
I watch an mukbang asmr once, cant last few minute and never watch again.
(Thats also why i always skip food insider uk vs us)
Sugar is a drug and a poison. It is only good for honey bees. There is nothing close to sugar (other than honey) with the amount of sugar in it. I've went from 405 to 355 with no exercise. All I did was cut out sugar. Now I have to fight my addiction to carbs and I should lose another 50 lbs.
especially when their eyes roll back into their heads and they just A S C E N D, like hun, no. its gross
yeah same i literally had to turn down the volume sometimes
You can be a normal weight without eating tons of bland food, it sounds like she thinks it’s either eat delicious food and be fat or be skinny and hate everything you eat.. there’s a middle ground she isn’t acknowledging:(
yup! I see a bunch of comments like "well once I started eating healthy all those nasty bad fast foods start tasting like disgusting piles of trash" I mean I do believe that but at the same time it won't kill anyone to have some fast/unhealthy foods once in a while. Just don't do mukbangs every single day with all the items on the menu!! its portion control and keeping yourself below your calorie deficit people! I bet she could lose weight just by cutting back on her portion sizes.
this is true but requires giving up the food you like for an extended period of time. Like my favorite food is the pizza from my local spot. To create the same pizza using healthier substitutes it's no longer my favorite food. So I gave it up for 5 months. In the past, when I would have my cheat meal by my pizza it would erase all progress and I would just maintain my current weight.. I had to give it up for 5 months and use a healthier cheat meal. It's terrible. But I'm 30 lbs down and can't wait to add my pizza back in rotation because I know I can eat it once a month and maintain.
It's a different thing though when you have an eating disorder, which she clearly has. Telling her to eat less fast food is like telling an alcoholic to just drink less, rather than stop drinking. Once they start consuming what they are addicted to, they can't control or regulate the amount.
@@haleyg4250 The thing is... it's true : during the lockdown I got curious and tried Mc Donald's, which I hadn't eaten for 6 years and I was surprised by how disgusting it was : the meat has a horrible stale aftertaste (some kind of 'hospital food' meat aftertaste), the bread is too dry and the fries taste like these deshydrated purée from the supermarket just... greazy. I'm never eating that ever again and it's not because of the calories, just the quality. I tried several kebab places and they were all bad. I also stopped eating supermarket biscuits / cakes / sodas when I left my parents house (for economic reasons at the time, I had no money to spare for unneccessary food) and whenever I try any now I just don't find them enjoyable anymore. It doesn't mean I don't eat cakes or fried food or cheese, but I eat higher quality less often. And there are a ton of delicious foods which aren't fried or covered in melted cheese imitation, these people just have to learn some basic cooking : Japanese cuisine, for example, is full of easy delicious healthy dishes. Or a simple thing like fresh salmon unilaterally cooked with roasted apple slices and a side of spinach is delicious. If it's not, you did it wrong! :)
You can make some pretty delicious, healthy food. Fast food just has too much sugar and too many carbs. You can make some keto versions of many of those foods and it tastes just as good or better.
You could easily switch over to keto OMAD and you can feel like you're having a feast everyday and still lose weight while doing it.
Keto isn't necessary for losing weight but for big people like herself, it helps them become fat adapted and helps kill sugar and carb addictions. Keto isn't necessary if you're normal weight or only need to lose a few pounds, but big people certainly need to switch over to keto.
You can still gain weight on keto, so, it's important to keep the eating window small, and only eat once a day for best results.
"My weight and what i eat is my business"
Proceeds to stream everything she eats for the entire world to watch.
Some cognitive dissonance there, I feel.....
It's not the point
I'm a physically healthy woman. I eat homemade healthy meals that I love. I have never struggled with weight, other than trying to gain some when I left my abusive family.
Yet, this video really reminds me of my marriage. I'm at this constant catch 22 trying to be happy, yet exist with this man who seemingly has no respect for me. I'm sick of being cheated on and lied to, then when I get upset I get scared into submission. I'm sick of living like this, but just like these people only have food, I only have him. I think I'm at the stage I don't want to change, even though I know I have to. I need to be a stronger person, and stand up for myself.
I hope you're doing well! ❤️🩹
I hope you escaped the husband. It seems impossible because your brain searches for closure of next steps, and life changes are a step into a incognito, and the brain doesn't like that. But as a person who passed through this as well, this is ONLY a defect of the human brain - when you go away, you WILL find a new perspective. It sounds scary at first, but it DOES gets better. After the first steps, you WILL see new patches. You just need to have the courage to go - you WILL survive alone girl, you don't need anybody to live nowadays! Sending ALL the love to you!❤❤❤❤
I hope you’re ok…❤
I hope you were able to leave🙏 It’s a tough cycle to break

I can relate to addiction ( Alcohol and binge eating), and I do feel for her and that she can't seem to get the final motivation that helps one to overcome the addiction, and yet: I find her way of eating disgusting. I simply hate people who talk with a full mouth. Also the stunt with sniffing her bra live on camera before putting it on...that was disgusting...
Looking back now, she didn't lose weight, but she lost plenty of other things: her money, her friends, her house, and what little was left of her dignity. 🙏
At least she has a tattoo, so that people who don't mind fat chicks AND who don't mind tattoos will find her attractive.

I had to be on a liquid diet for a couple of days because of a tooth abscess (couldn't chew solids at all) and it was torture even going into a grocery store and seeing all the things that I couldn't eat. Lost 5 pounds in 4 days. I am "skinny", and it's scary dropping weight when you're already at a good size. If I felt that way all the time, seeing things that people say I am not allowed to eat - it would be torture. It is sad, and I see why people struggle with it.
Cooking healthy meals at home is so satisfying to me. Like, I can literally choose what to put in my body. It's an empowering experience!
Her: I don’t want be alive at 70 or 80 eating kale
My grandad is 92 and has never eaten kale a day in his life
Congrats!
Eh for me unless you're obese how much you live is like a lottery.
There's people who smoke a pack or even more a day and live past 80
There's people who work out eat decent, active people overall, and die in their 60s
One of my grandmas was eating fatty foods and died at 69
My other grandma who eats just as badly if not worse is alive at 80
You don't have to eat kale, or even eat healthy, to live past 70, you just really need luck. A heart attack can hit everyone no matter how active, young and healthy they are. Cancer can hit anyone, the list goes on.
Whats kale
My grandfather is 80 and he eats candy, snacks and fast food daily. The difference is he can control how much he eats. With her she thinks eating all these vegetables and fruits are what you need to do to lose weight. In reality you just have to eat less. Now I’m not gonna say eating junk food everyday is good for long term health, but eating less is better than gorging
@@spookyclaws5350 I know what you mean but how many 5 foot tall, 500 pound 80 year olds have you ever seen? How about 5 foot tall, 500 pound 70 year olds? 60? 50? None? Me either.

Like.. you can be at a healthy weight and still indulge in fast food now and again. It's not a zero sum game.
You can eat everyday fast foood and being thin. Like me :D
@@stefanigreeneyes being thin doesn't equal healthy.
Indulgent food should be that ..indulgent.
The word itself implies that it's for a special occasion, something to reward yourself with.
If it becomes daily routine, what indulgence is there? It's an addiction.
When you have a problem with food, especially a food addiction you really can’t go back to eating fast food. It’s like an alcoholic who decides to take a drink after years of being sober. Going back to the thing you’re addicted to creates an opportunity to eat like you used to. It’s why many people end up messing up and sliding backwards, and often regaining all the weight and then some. Junk food and fast food is designed to be addictive. For some of us we should never touch the stuff again because of how easily it can cause us to slip
@@stefanigreeneyes brag much?
this vids old but something tht helped me was telling myself “this food will still be here tomorrow” when i wanna binge. like this bag of chips is still gonna be here in my pantry tomorrow. and if it’s not, i can go buy more. it sounds dumb but put my mind at ease i guess
“Eat to live, not live to eat” is a gamechanger mentality
It makes you feel like it’s okay to starve yourself throughout the day and only eat very few times per day. Kicked the addiction out of my brain
“Why can’t this food be healthy?” If you ate fast food once in a while instead of every day and in quantities that are enough for 5 or more people, it wouldn’t be so bad!
Exactly , eating fast food once a month or smth wont hurt you, it is better for you!
Eating actual portions sizes makes me feel like I’m starving.
kadeja mckinzie you start off by slowly shrinking your portions, you can’t just go from eating 3 burgers and 3 fries with a large coke to one of each in simply a day. That takes such a huge toll on your body which isn’t ready to make such a drastic change, you need to build tolerance to the change, and understand the difference between boredom, thirst, hunger, etc.
kadeja mckinzie sometimes the portion sizes seem so small but that’s probably because of how high calories the food is for ex, the portion size for maruchan ramen is half a packet and usually people eat both packets. Look at the nutrition facts of ramen and multiply them by the amount of portions.
a few trips to your friend gym could also make it better!
I hate it when people like this call themselves "foodies", or talk about how much they "love food". A foodie appreciates all sorts of different interesting foods, and their complexities. If she was actually a foodie she'd know that there's plenty of _healthy_ foods out there that have a lot to love about them too.
She's not a foodie. She's a junk food addict.
I hate it too. My dad is a legit foodie and he goes out of his way to get new sauces, spices and recepies (all within budget bc imported be very expensive) or we go out to every new restaurant that oppens to try it out. He will eat burgers and pizza but only if he likes the convination of diferent flavors and ingredients in them. And don't even think of bringing any Mac or pizza hut into the house cause he will kick you out with your 'crappy meal' 😅

Ive been on my weight loss journey since mid-spring of 2020..
IG my 'rock bottom' moment was, that at my most heavy at 290lbs while at my doc hearing him say to me 'If you dont stop & make a change, you'll die.' pile on top of that seeing my grandma on her death bed, & shortly after passing away thanks to HER unhealthy living AND the virus obviusly not helping. BUT one day while cleaning myself up, i decided to seek spiritual guidance, asking for just a small amount of drive and motivation, and that IF i could get THAT then i would do the rest. Then next thing i know thanks to my natural stubbornness & big headedness BOOM!
Fast forward to May 2023 2 weeks ago at the doc & i see i weighed 145lbs.
One big shift that was necessary for me to change was changing the way I performed self love. Originally, self love meant treating myself with fast food and sweet snacks like Oreos and timbits. Now self love is having a fun workout like swimming or treating myself to healthy foods that I really like, like peaches or salmon
peaches and salmon taste fucking awesome
I literally had to turn down the volume at the first part to not make it seem like I was watching porn. I swear why do people moan so much while eating? 😢
Cause it's delicious
Yeah! I hate muckbangs with a passion! Its so weird.
When you're at her point , eating food is like snorting cocaine, I almost got overweight once and that was pretty much how I'd describe it/feel it.
@@nothintoreadhere6168 I second that, Definitely, eating "forbidden" foods feels like an addiction to me
I had to turn it down cos honestly I find the sound of people eating sickening, I don't understand the Mukbang thing at all, but I suppose if that's what turns you on then...more power to ya
Imagine if she did lose the weight. Then she'd have to come to terms with the fact that people disliking her had nothing to do with her size.
louib716 it would be about time. She really thinks it’s her weight. No. It’s her that is nauseating. Grossssss
EXACTLY!!!💯
She acts so gross.
And says that only junk food tastes good.
OMFG TRY BERRIES-
like, she only thinks it's the best thing in the world cause her version of eating "healthy" is unboiled broccoli.
Which I think tastes good but not to a person who's had all you've eaten in a year be 5000-12000 calories at once.
She has an addiction we know but acts SO WEIRD-
Atleast try to not growl and talk like a second grader, no.
Kindergartner
Supposedly that’s a legitimate problem with weight loss. Ppl subconsciously blame all their problems on their weight, so when the weight is gone...
Yea it's literally the fact that she's not wanting to commit and just shit talk everyone's journey and say no offense after...there's offense when you said that
I have successfully quit a pretty extreme vaping addiction and am now tackling my binge eating problem. Can confirm it is absolutely dependant on what you actually want for your life and how willing you genuinely are to improve it.
thank you for this. i'm an ER PA. the last three years has been really hard. Stress eating and dating a boyfriend who was a lot bigger than me and keeping up with his eating had me gaining 20 lbs. In June, I decided to get strong again. I've lost about 25 lbs and feeling great.
When I first started my journey, the first week i started, I went on a trip with a friend who was into intuitive eating, and spouting things about diet culture, fat phobia, toxic fitness culture, and honestly I felt shamed. she was just saying how people didn't give her enough attention to talk about her views etc. i was focused on me and no judgement of her, but somehow I felt like i was being shamed for wanting to lose weight.
Thank you for bringing to light that this is a whole movement. I honestly don't care how people choose to live their lives. in the ER i respect alcoholics who ask me to help and tell me they're not going to quit so don't bother talking about it. life is transient and what you choose to focus on is your perogative, but no, i'm not going to try to convince people to do my thing and i don't care what they do.
I know that in the past three months, i feel better in my clothes. I have more energy. I feel more confident. I'm stronger and able to do things faster and easier. And this makes me happy. It's not for everyone, but a culture that says "be body positive" that has shamed me for wanting to lose weight just...ugh
she has eaten so much fast food she's gotten addicted to it. once she gets out of that phase, she'll realize that healthier food won't make her feel like shit all the time and she'll actually be more energetic.
I totally agree! I was a fast food addict, now after 2 months cooking and eating healthy, its so much and i feel so much better. I tried a cheeseburger after month and a half of healthy i just didnt feel the satisfaction i felt before getting healthy and in shape. I love myself even more now.
The pandemic had been great for me breaking my fry and chip addiction. Now I remember how good it feels to eat well and I'm so happy about it!
Now her new addiction is meth...This woman will never get better
It’s not about the amount of food she’s eaten, it’s the kind of food. She’s basically eating the food versions of cocaine, heroine and alcohol. She eats to get high, to feel something that isn’t pure despair about for shit her condition really is.
Like any addict, she can’t stop until she finds something more worthwhile to do so she can break the habit. She needs to learn how to deal with her situation without using food as her crutch, and that’s going to be hell.
@@mariahyohannes well at least she'll loose weight ... Jk! That's sad tbh

im now 131kg but working at it. my glucose tolerance is in a place where I consider healthy food exciting. I'm scared of fast food because I know what it means for me to have just one cheat meal. If I do have a cheat, it will be what I cook myself. Love watching your videos to keep me on track
"Your desire to change is more than your desire to stay the same" is going along with "the most important step a person can take is always the next one" on my motivational quote list.
I know what I want for my weight and I can either do things that get me closer or take me away from that goal. Eating balanced meals and snacks has taken me further than mindless eating and weird restrictions.
Growing up my mum never let me eat fast food. Instead she always tried to feed me and my younger brother more healthy alternatives. I remember we used to complain nonstop and annoy the shit out of her because of it, but god bless that woman, because it never discouraged her. Few years later and thanks to her stubborn attitude now i dont even like fast food, cause it tasets like crap in comparison. Love you mum ❤
Awwww, this reminds me of my childhood. Our treats n snacks were always seasonal fruits (naturally growing in europe) and boy i still love them. Strawberry season, watermelon season, grapes...so nice
@@orsikocsman I didn't even grow up like that and I would still take fruits over candy's. strawberries, water melons, pineapples, apples, ect... are one of the best things to eat that taste good and are healthy

That can have a contra effect but I'm glad it worked out for you:)
Same, my mom forbade us from eating BREAD and replaced it with traditional food, I used to be annoyed, but now I actually enjoy the taste of healthy food, and I hardly really crave fast food.
Honestly, once you eat fresh, healthy food, your body stops craving fast food. Healthy food can taste delicious, I don't know why people think that all healthy food is like stuffing yourself with broccoli.
@@Solmaz_S True, but many people think otherwise
Brocoli and chicken alfredo is delicious.
Honestly the simple act of cooking meal with fresh meat, veggi and all is already a big change from junkfood
@@_.ana._. To be fair in the particular case of broccoli there is a specific gene that makes a chemical in broccoli taste disgusting, I am glad I don’t have the gene and find broccoli delicious (I found it odd that there was a stereotype of kids hating broccoli as I love broccoli seasoned lightly but well and with black pepper on them). That being said eating whole foods over processed as a default feels better once I got used to it.
@@bacchus9389 I love broccoli too, I like how crisp and soft it is at the same time. I used to help my mom sautee it in butter and it tasted delicious with some salt and pepper
As someone who has a sugar/carb addiction, I can fully understand where Chantal is coming from with her conflicted rationale. You describe beautifully why she (and I) have this problem. I was able to overcome my addiction and the rationale that kept me eating the way I used to. From what I gather, she's still obese. I hope she can find a way to come to peace with herself and get healthy.
''why cant this food be good for u'' shes not wrong tho lmao
my rock bottom moment was when my grandmother, who doesn't have much time left, begged me to lose weight as I was letting myself go. she doesn't want me to end up like her.
that was my rock bottom. I knew I've had a weight problem for a while, but this was the moment when I became fully focused on losing weight. so far, I've lost 15 pounds in about a month and a half.
EDIT
thank you so much for all the love!! I'm now down to 90 kilos, so I'm under 200 pounds for the first time in years. I've lost almost 30 pounds in total
Wow. Glad to know you've made progress. Keep up the good work!
great job!!! you'll make your grandmother happy too! but remember that your weight loss is ultimately for yourself. and also, when it's her time to leave earth, please be strong and not find comfort in food while you mourn.
So happy for you , don't give up
That is really amazing
Good for you, mate! That is a very respectable amount of weight lost in that time. Keeps me motivated to continue with my weight loss as well.
I lost 70 pounds by just not binging on food and exercising. I was 197 and now I'm at 130 and have kept it off. It IS possible to lose weight without doing crazy diets.
edit: omg, thank you for all the replies! I'm proud of you all, too, great job!
Yeah, same. I resorted to fasting during the day and it really helped. I did yoga and toning exercises and I felt awesome.
I lost 25 pounds during quarantine (I was 190 then) and all I did was lay off the sweets. I didn’t eat less or anything, I just started making better choices and use to go for light jogs. I still eat candy and go out to eat sometimes but I keep it at a moderation as to not fall under those habits. Balance is key yall!
I was 198 and have successfully come to 130 as well.. as I am short I need to come to 121....thanks for the comment and wish me luck
Good job, that's the way to go! Good luck to anyone in this thread still underway!
I have realized this as well, just cutting the sweets and snacks is a good start.
Love the timings montage of the clips. Perfect, great humor!

I used to say things like “I hate working out” or “I will never be good at working out” and when I tried to get on a good workout schedule it would always be short term. Then, when I worked hard at my MINDSET and thought “I need to find workouts that I like more” and “I can get better at this” my success continuously grew. Now I feel satisfaction and joy from having a steady workout schedule. I still don’t run marathons or feel amazing at sports but I do other workouts that I’ve fitted to myself. Saying extremes like hate, never, and always stop progress.
This is so true! Anything you want to physically change has to come from the mindset! I try to lift the same or heavier weights each time I go to the gym rather than focusing on the changes I want to see in my body. Focus on how you feel, not how you look.
My thing is Idk what workouts I’d like 😭
@@raeganbutterfly08 Some suggestions - dancing. Outdoors activities. Strength training intensely gives an endorphin kick actually better than any treat food. Just some things to try. Look for something fun. I guess strength training isn't "fun" but it's satisfying because feeling strong is excellent, and also I know how health protective it is. Also it helps get out aggro, of which I have plenty.
@@marshwetland3808 omg I completely forgot about dancing! Thanks
@@raeganbutterfly08 Enjoy! It can be a warmup, it can be high intensity, and you can constantly adjust the moves to suit your moment. And with skills videos, you can challenge yourself, which I find motivates me to do other training to assist skill development. It's lifelong learning, and a major side benefit of that is it engages your entire body and mind, mental skills - it might be the best protective activity against many ills of ageing, including dementia. I'm 60 and I've taken dance classes with other people over 50. A lot of them struggle. I don't. I love it. Good on them for trying even though it's hard, though. When I take a class with people in their 20s and 30s I find it hard, too.
I'm currently 294 lbs. I need to seriously change my habits and lifestyle choices. Ty for making these videos. They help me realize that this is a very serious problem and if I want to live a life that looks and feels better, I need to change. I feel sluggish everyday, everytime I go without eating for some time I have nasty headaches and feel a little nauseous, and my knees hurt badly if I'm walking up or down stairs or bend down to pick something off the ground. When I look in the mirror it's shocking to me how big I look. I'll be buying healthier foods from now on and exercise daily. Thank you for making a positive impact of my life. Keep up the good work.
The action below has helped me so so much. Example scenario - Im walking home from work and my mind starts thinking about all the potential food options I could pick up on the way for dinner.
I intently focus on what healthy option I already decided I would eat at home and keep redirecting my thoughts like my life depends on it. To make this easier, each weekend I update a list in my phone of the quick meals I can make with what food I already have that week. I also have categorized lists of the foods I have in the house, looking at that list and coming up with a new dinner option gives my brain something to focus on other than the junk food options

The issue is that most of the US today is either overweight or obese, and it's only going to get worse as time passes.
Obesity and food addiction have become common to the point that its socially acceptable, something which hasn't happened with alcohol and smoking. This also means we've become extremely accommodating towards it, only making the issue worse.
I was talking about this when I saw your comment. She needs to be accountable for this in some way.
@@nala3055 The issue now is we know that being overweight or obese is unhealthy, but many don't care.
One great tool for weight loss is food delivery. Lke Hello Fresh or those sorts or services. You organize healthy food deliveries a long time in advance. You pay for it. So you get the deliveries and your choice is to either throw it out and get fast food or to eat it.
Chantal had a subscription for hello fresh for quite a while (probably still has since she's too lazy to cancel it). never did her much good, it all went to the trash anyway. she likes her junkfood too much. she's beyond help (for many reasons)
@@olgag9901 Yeah, at that point I think it's purely on you. If you're literally throwing away money in order to spend more money on garbage, then I don't think anything external is ever going to change your habits.
As someone who’s struggling but trying to quit convenience food and make more of my foods, your descriptions of the stages of change and your explanations is amazing, thank you
I’ve seen her and nikocado struggle with this stuff and it as well as your videos have really opened my eyes to stuff like this
And motivates me to keep trying myself
I've been clean from drugs for almost seven years. If I can do it, so can she. No excuses.
IM A CHIC well done 👍
You don't need drugs. What made you an addict in the first place? Think about this ; what if your drugs were available in every store, every social setting, 4 times a day you had to take a small amount of drugs, for every meal? Would you be able to control the addiction?
@@PassionForOldFashion They're around me every day..work, neighborhood, etc.. I could easily get high But I choose not to. I decided to change my life. I was sick and tired of being miserable. I realized I didn't have to live that way. Pretty simple.

Although I never binge eat like that, I did have fast food often. I developed diabetes type 2, I was always tired. A nutritionist helped me with my diet, I'm which I didn't stop eating all that much, I did stopped eating fast food, started eating 3 main meals and 2 snack times (one fruit). I then included workout, and in just three to 4 months I lost 52 pounds, I felt the best I have ever felt. Two years later I reversed diabetes, I stopped medication 4 years ago, and I cannot bring myself to eat as much fast food as before, although I have, but not even once a month in average. It is doable, the change is doable, I did it.
Your video really helped me this year. Interestingly enough it has nothing to do with losing weight though. The 'How to stop obsessing over fast food' guide helped me end an unhealthy situationship that was really hard for me to let go of. Earlier this year I went through every question in the guide but swapped out the title from 'obsessing over fast food' to 'obsessing over a relationship/person'. This helped me realise that seeing them was bad for me and I ended it. I still think about them, but it was the right thing to do.

I find it so interesting that I have no desire for drinking, smoking or drugs but food and the internet are my drugs. Mostly because you have to eat and use computers. It’s so hard to fight junk food addiction.
I lost 110 pounds 3 years ago, and I've kept it off. The only thing Chantal said in this video that gave me a physical reaction was when she said "that bite was worth being fat for." That made me literally shout "no it isn't!" No bite of food is better for me than knowledge that I won't have to feel the pain of another miscarriage, or the pleasure that seeing myself in a tight black dress gives me. Seeing the pride in my husband's eyes when he takes me out to dinner, the "that's right, she's with me." look in his eyes. He thought I was beautiful before, but he knew I didn't think that way about myself, and other people definitely didn't think I was. Now, my confidence is so much better.

@@TheGoldenAcademia thank you! It took about 9 or 10 months, and I gave up a lot for a while, but I'm 3 years out and while I CAN eat pretty much anything again, I don't have the DESIRE to anymore. The thought of eating most McDonald's food, with the exception of their nuggets, fries, and some breakfast items is frankly repellent, and I've actually eaten McDonald's food about a half a dozen times in the last 2 years. But, I still love me some ice-cream, sour candies, and the occasional cookie. I just don't eat an entire pint of ice-cream or package of cookies anymore. Frankly it would make me violently ill.
If not for the health.. DO IT FOR FASHION! 😂 So true tho.. The satisfaction of clothes fitting more comfortable..
Normal cooked food at my office canteen made me gain a lot of weight. The previous vendor was playing with the health of employees by using cheap unhealthy cooking processes and ingredients. When the new vendor rolled in, I immediately went for diet food (eggs, low oil limited cooked carbs, lot of pulses, boiled vegetables) I've seen a remarkable difference. Thankfully I stopped myself very soon compared to most people and turned the course around before I got extremely addicted to food.
Thank you for posting these videos Bc it keeps me thinking about health. I have an esophagus disease so watching people “mukbang” kinda makes me sick and keeps me aware of treating my own body better.
I went through a 3 day hangover before I finally got the willpower to give up drinking. Been 10 days and I'm finally able to sleep properly in 3 years.
Great!!! Keep going, you can do this!🌌🙌
Hell yes! No matter what happens or if you stumble, you've proven to yourself that you can continue making positive changes. And congrats on good sleep! That's one of the best side effects of any healthy changes

Yep, if that's her idea of healthy, I have no idea how she's going to make it to 40. Ol' C.Marie needs to eat a homemade meal, like a fresh one, with fresh veg, meat cooked from scratch, and homemade gravies or curries, not processed greasy foods.
@@_.ana._. that’s right. If you got a big appetite like myself, you gotta eat more veggies, that’ll kill the hunger hormones. And if cravings are your thing, then just stop drinking soda and find healthy alternatives to what you’re craving, and tough out a week or two without junk. If it worked for me it’ll work for you

Over 120lbs. Why went to the bathroom and could not wipe my hinny. I knew it was happening for a while. Just ignored the sigh till one day it happened. That day I cried and mourned the loss of all that junk food. And what it did to me and never looked back. Maintenance for over a yr. And happily wiping my own hinny.
Everyone has that turning point! You are awesome for not only losing weight but keeping it off 👌
💚 Congratulations
Well done honey, we're proud of you :) ❤❤
Good for you! You are amazing!!!
Congratulations i was the same just over 300lb and i lost 135lb in just over a year. How great is it to be able to walk in a normal clothes shop and be able to get clothes that fit off the peg. No more tall and wide shops for me. Trouble was when i lost all the weight i ended up spending a small fortune on new fashionable clothes that id never been able to get to fit me. Even my shoe size dropped a size.
It's now August 2023 and Chantel is bigger than ever. She cares more about food than ANYTHING. As a food addict who at age 34, and yes after a health scare, decided to get my life together and lose weight I can proudly say that I lost 225 lbs in 24 months and I've kept it off for 18 years. It wasn't easy. Some days I still struggle & I'll always be a food addict but I don't "crave" food any longer. I deal with my emotional issues differently. I dealt with more than just the belly hunger. Chantal needs to go to therapy and deal with what's really eating her, but she said many times that she won't. She's almost 40. There's a reason you don't see many 50-year-old super morbidly obese people...they usually don't make it that far. Anyone who's seen Chantal lately can see that she's probably not far from deaths door.
I love your channel it helps me think through some personal issues without even knowing. I love facts and logic!
My dad is 79 and eats a variety of foods, including fast food 1-2 times a week and veggies while staying physicallyactive. He's basically the poster child for moderation and its benefits.
That's the way to do it. Kudos to him. Most people can only think in extreme opposites. All out junk food and play PS4 on the couch all day long or all out carrots and lettuce while running marathons 7 days a week.
As with everything, moderation and balance is always key.
Fast food 1 or 2 a week is actually a lot.
@Heloise O'Byrne A cheeseburger has like 375 calories. A person who is in a coma burns about 2100 calories in a day just from lying still in bed. A person who is physically active will not get fat from that.
But these people in the videos don't eat just ONE burger and they eat it everyday, for breakfast, lunch, dinner and as a snack and probably with fries, coke, milkshakes and fried chicken nuggets on top.
These people have an eating disorder. Getting this fat is not something that is easy to do.
@Heloise O'Byrne But OP said her father eats junk food twice a week while he's still in great shape. who's to say he doesn't just eat two tiny Mcdonald burgers a week? On top of plenty of vegetables, fish and organ meat while also being physically active from daily chores and maybe even running or weightlifting too?
Twice is a week is not allot. I order take out every saturday and sunday with my family for 10+ years now and nobody here is even close to being fat.
These obese people eat huge quantities of junk food every single day.
@Heloise O'Byrne Because you think everything is about calories? McDo is crap, doesn’t matter if it’s low calories. It will clog your arteries. And twice a week (or even once) is really, really a lot. Nutritionists recommend to not eat fast food more than once per month.
if you separate “delicious” food and “healthy” food there is definitely a problem
IKR?! I never understood how people don't find veggies and fruits and nuts and spices delicious!
Hypatia Ravenclaw Kovalevskaya Sklodowska It’s crazy. Give me a grilled chicken breast with veggies and fruits on the side, a delicious and healthy meal.
Matthew T. I have been crazy for romain lettuce past few weeks so what do i know? I mean not saying I don't find, like, some things in mcdonalds delicious (admitably mcdonalds where I am from, in the US it tasted like crap to me), but like... Berries?? What is more delicious than berries? Literaly nature's candy
Melon and watermelon?? Anything with cinamon? Brocolli?? Kelerhab? Pickles!! Apples!
@@hypatiakovalevskayasklodow9195 lol i feel this. I could literally eat nothing but arugala and lychee and be so happy
fendybendy ikr?! I mean, that would probably be too much fiber or something, but it is sooo delicious! I had this period when I first discovered ruccola, I ate it every day with every meal, without adding anything to it. Then I discovered how good it is with balsamic vinegar and it started all over again
Kiana, I really enjoy your analysis, watching this video and your take on the notion of "wanting change" is really important and as relatable as it was three years ago. I would love if you do a re-take or updated or similar video again. Perhaps fast food addiction is more obvious addiction, yet some subtle addiction that go under radar are harder for people to let go! as well as a take from you perhaps for those people who arent obese yet they have unhealthy diet and keep giving themselves pass for eating them. Anyway, thank you!
This video was SO incredibly helpful for me, thank you so much!!!
Although I can only speak for myself: it *was* annoyingly bland and dissatisfying to eat healthy, but only for the first few weeks. Then it was like my tongue and stomach recalibrated. It's not just that I appreciate things more. Everything actually tastes better. Smaller portions make me feel full. I just finished eating a handful of rambutan from the fridge and it was a more pleasing experience than I've had eating entire bowls of ice cream.
This is a great point. A lot of what we enjoy arises from routine, not only from the innate traits of the thing we participate in. Switching off of unhealthy foods is painful because there are genuinely substances in there our body craves, but also because healthy foods are just foods many of us aren't accustomed to.
Same! I recently changed my diet and I hadn’t had McDonald’s in three months and I had it last night (within my calorie budget, and it was what my family was eating), and I ended up throwing it up. It made me SO sick. My body just isn’t used to fast food anymore :/
Exactly this. It's something I honestly didn't take into account. I've been slowly adding in healthier recipes and meals, and I find I'm excited now to try them. It's sort of mind blowing when you realize you'd rather have baked carrot garlic Parmesan "fries" than fast food potato fries. lol
This! When I was healthier (I'll get back to it- I need to) a few months ago, i stopped eating chocolate and dessert largely and little Debbie's and stuff tasted like trash. The chilies I used to love tasted like absolute trash. Now ik back to eating them because I was sick and fell off of it...*sigh*
-also soda tastes like absolute trash now
But there was a while i only ate grape nuts so i could drop fat before a tournament (also working out every day, lost 5 pounds) and in the beginning they tasted bland. As I started eating them more, I could actually taste the 5 grams of sugar inside the cereal and it tasted sweeter to me (idk why everyone hates them)
After i fell off my health kick (must get back to it when i have more time management) the grapenuts tasted bland again and the chili wasnt as bad
I miss the healthy days
Also: Spices! Adding much salt and spices helped me eat healthier until I got used to veggies and stuff. Now I can enjoy them with a variety of spices and just a bit of salt
God, it hurts to look and listen to that woman... because her constant switching between “I have to stop” and “Screw this, it’s my choice” is exactly the same thoughts that cross my mind all the time. It’s too real...
As someone with an addiction, this is exactly what it feels like you quit and stop for months
And then one day out of nowhere you relapse out of boredom
@@islandgirl2578 so true
@@islandgirl2578 Yep, you need something else to get excited about. For me it's bellydancing and investing. Much more exciting than candy and junk food. And I can have a bit of the latter if I want. I didn't take it to an every day thing or like this over-the-top youtuber.
denial, the most powerful weapon in every addicts arsenal
I'm an alcoholic and the withdrawal symptoms are pure horror.
I’m someone who used to love junk food more than normal food and now loving nutritious and filling food the most that doesn’t make me feel like my arteries are working overtime.
When I watch the beginning of the video I feel like my heart will stop working from simply watching this, even tho I used to love stuffing myself. It honestly blows my mind now, that you can eat that volume of unhealthiness and still enjoy it 😅
Thanks for the great video! I really liked the breakdown and explanation. Very relevant and applicable to other addictions at least I could personally relate.
I’ve lost almost 80 pounds this quarantine and I DIDNT get forced into it. I did this all because I wanted to finally be healthy, before school starts
Yeah tbh I should have started earlier myself but in roughly a month I am down 8 pounds and hopefully I keep going
Congratulations!!🥳
I lost a lot too! I lost 50 pounds from stress! I want to be a size 9! Once I am I am going to stop and try to maintain it
@@anneblubaugh58 That's what they all say... Careful there Anne, an eating disorder is just around the corner!
I went from 54kg to 88kg in 2 years of training. Now I'm down to 77kg no muscles but definitely way better and healthier than when I was only 54kg (I'm 182 cm long).
Side note: I love how she said what she eats is her own business but continually posts videos of her *just* eating.
regardless if she is posting or not what she eats, it is still her business only. you can try to help her in some way if you want to but you can't force her to stop eating fast food.
@@etheryjane atp i think physical force is needed bc if she goes on like this, she's gonna die
@@etheryjane she may be free to eat and post what she wants but she is making it public so viewers are free to express their opinions and it’s unreasonable of her to expect otherwise when she’s posting that kind of content where she alternates between shoving enough food to feed a village in her mouth while moaning like a farm animal- to crying about being unhealthy and not being “able” to stop. Yes it’s her “business” and her life but it’s not like we’re running over there to tear burgers out of her hands, we’re commenting on a PUBLIC platform. No one’s “forcing” her to do anything.
Also her "it's a job but around that I'm going to embrace eating healthy"
Kiana:. *montages savagely*
@@underwirez this is probably a crime lol
This is so real. Focusing on momentary happiness you'll have you seeking it 24/7. Once you stop eating, you'll feel guilty and will eat again to feel better
You and Michelle McDaniel are both great because you appeal to different reasons people may want to lose weight, and different types of motivation work better for different people. Michelle is great to scare me off of one more burger, but you are great for when I feel weak. I know neither of you asked for this comparison, but I'm also sure I'm not the first person to make it. Keep doing what you're doing.
In 2019 I was weighing 429 lb and now I am 197 lb. throughout my whole life I thought that I was fine and being obese was my fate. Eating was literally my escape and comfort until one day I saw a picture of me that my friend took and I was shocked of the way I look and I started thinking of my social life and my health so I’ve changed everything since then. Thank god I wasn’t late and didn’t get diabetes or hypertension and there wasn’t a day where I felt that I want to go back to that miserable lifestyle.
wow thats amazing
@@Te3time thanks ❤️
So proud of you!!
so proud of u and how far you've come 💘
@@anikejulien7273 I did a surgery in order to lose that weight and then started eating healthy and because of the surgery I didn’t have problems with portions because I get full rapidly.
What got me down 50lbs and change my ways was this:
Learn to hate what makes you this way.
Underrated fuel source
You mean, hating eating disorders?
@@maura_the_rose They probably meant junk food and fast food
@@elliotville7820 that too
It's doesn't help much, cause when you relapse you hate yourself in the end
Oh your analogy of having to 'want to quit' like when quitting smoking - was so perfect. As an ex-smoker I knew that until I really really truly WANTED to quit smoking, I would struggle but not quite succeed in quitting.
This was very well done!
omgg thank you!!! 💕 i've been watching your content for a long time!
Erika T Good luck! They inspire me too-here’s to getting healthy 🥂😊
@Erika T uuughhh how are you doing? I want to lose 20lb to 30lbs but hoooowwww??? 😫😫😫😫
All her videos are!
Yes, bullying at its finest. Y'all assholes should be proud
I can't be the only one who is literally repulsed by the noises she makes while she eats
It's disturbing
It’s like watching a horror movie
I had to turn the volume down. Just incase somebody hears and assumes it's porn
Yeah its fucking disgusting
Yeah... I am more of a quiet eater, and I personally hate it when people roll their eyes and close them when they eat, and they even moan sometimes. I get it, food is awesome, but this is just creepy
Absolutely LOVED how you said “want” to instead of have, but not for your reasons. I realized that when emotions take over i relapse. Really it’s about how that voice inside your head sounds when you think:
If the voice is more of insulting, loud and angry: “YOU PIECE OF SHIT, YOU MUST STOP EATING, NO ONE WILL LIKE YOU” you feel distressed and so immediately feel the need to eliminate that thought by doing a comforting think like eating. It won’t work
Change that inner voice into a calm and relaxed voice, but that with a calming EGO. E G O. Really it turns into: “Huh, man im to fucking good for this fast food shit man, it’s a breeze, im just eat well, look well, ima just relax and play the long game” it’s just gives that voice of reason so much power and makes it take over your emotions. It’s like being a cold a confident master up there. Practice till life though, always do it and life will be soo much happier
Não tenho palavras pra expressar o quanto esse vídeo é incrível. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Used Chantal and especially Amberlynn Reid as inspiration to lose weight. I saw them and told myself "I don't want to be like them". I changed MY lifestyle, eating better and doing exercise. I know this change is forever and I feel at peace with this thought. I've lost 31kgs (68lbs) in 8 months and still going strong!
Congratulations!! I love that it's been over a span of 8 months too, I admire your consistency!! So amazing
Woo hoo! Good job! Don't give up, we believe in you!
Woah. Congrats. That's so great.
Congrats! Stay strong and keep it up!
@gray bndl i do that too! But I’m starving myself until lunch time, after that no meal until the next lunch. I do intermittent fasting regularly and it helps maintain my weight.
"I don't wanna live to be 70/80 eating kale." Yeah well, the worry isn't not hitting 70, the worry is not hitting 45.
I love people like this who think eating healthy means eating horrible, tasteless food. Healthy food makes you feel better than unhealthy food and a lot of it tastes good
@@joni1405 u know any good recipes
How old is she? 😭
@@jagjitsinghbhangoo6753 I'd check out Clean Food Dirty Girl. She has some really tasty (and healthy!) recipes.
im actually offended that she thinks healthy food cant be delicious
You're right. This is so heartbreaking to see though because anyone who's been big before can see she really is a beautiful person but is stuck in full self destruction mode. I truly hope she doesn't eat herself to death 💔
It's so liberating being able to order fast food for someone and not craving or wanting anything.
I feel like if she learned to cook, it would really help her situation. She seems like a really nice girl I hope she figures out a solution
oh yeah. Being able to cook is the only thing that stands between me and obesity-it's a vital skill.
@@Noblebird02 😂
Some people just can’t be bothered to change
@@MaronXchiaki and i was not being sarcastic here: I just spent several hours chopping up vegetables to put them in a slow cooker (I was distracted a few times)-this should feed me for a week so if I have the urge to eat fast food I can tell myself that I have done work and I should eat what I have at home already so my labour and money doesn't go to waste
Maybe it is just me, but... changing to a WFPB diet jump started 2 things in my life:
1) I started to love preping meals (me, who haaated cookeing before)
And
2) I started to crave comfort foods less and less.
I always thought people just make this up, but it seems to be true: The more you eat normal food, the less you long for the junkie ones. Today I ate some chocolate I used to love (with oreos in it) and I had to spit it out (it seemed rediculously sweet). And hate the texture of muffins (I know! Wtf is wrong with me?!).
But for real, if you give enough time to it, your perception of food can change. She just doesn't want to make the effort...
