Sugar and flour products also make me totally food obsessed also…..to the point of craziness! No sugar, or flour which is actually higher in the glycemic index, and I am calm and fine and normal.
I’m down 20 lbs since May, this way of eating has been such a blessing for me! Calorie density makes so much sense and I’ll never look back. Thank you Chelsea!!!
I have done this in the past and it might be time to do it again for the same reasons that you set out. What I found when I did it, is that when I began to expand to other foods once the reset was over, I was able to really TASTE the food and be satisfied quicker with my meals. Green peas tasted divine, oranges and grapes tasted like candy! Corn suddenly became something that I found tasty because I could appreciate that it's just a little bit sweet. For me anyway, the reset really did exactly that. It reset my taste buds.
I did it for five days and it was amazing. It got me back into the habit of having simple meals and since the reset I start every day with a big sweet potato topped with cinnamon.
Russet potatoes cooked in an Instant Pot are moist and lovely; not dry at all like when baked. Immediately after cooking, put on a large plate and cover with a cotton tea towel to cool and set. They are soooo good cold or reheated in whatever way. The glycemic count is also lower after cooled. Great site. Thanks.
@@annawilson4197 Put a cup of water in the pot. Put whole knife pierces slightly potatoes, medium size, on a rack and cook for 3 minutes. Cook further 1 or 2 minutes if more time is needed. Quick release.
I've been high protein for LONG Time with no results. However, earlier this year I became very ill for couple of weeks and could only hold down potatoes. I ate them for breakfast, lunch and dinner and that was the only time I saw the scale move. I absolutely love potatos of every kind so this would be much easier on me than the freaking Keto that will eventually prove unsafe due to metabolic syndrome it's been proven to cause.
I've never know anyone who lost weight doing high protein. Moderate protein, vegetables (non starchy), and high fat-yes! With crazy meat prices in the US right now I'm looking at exploring other options.
I am so so so so so so so happy there is now a kiwi I can learn from in the WFPB weight-loss world. Love your down to earth style and the results you get! Well done on the reset.
Excellent video Chelsea Mae and potatoes are my favourite vegetables after greens. Sweet potatoes technically aren't potatoes because potatoes are part of the Nightshade family of plants but Sweet potatoes are in the Bindweed family of plants. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕Chelsea Mae. Keep safe and well.
I probably only made sweet potatoes 2 times in my life because around here we mostly eat normal potatoes. I gave them another chance after watching your videos and I just can't believe it - my sweet potatoes caramelized and my baking sheet was covered in some sort of caramel I couldn't believe how goooddd they were tasting! perfectly baked thanks to you, I guess I never knew how to make them xD no oil or anything else. I almost cried while eating them. Not that they only taste sweet they also have a nice smoked aroma and they also remind me of pumpkin pie. unbelievable how simple this is. and no oil! What a dream hahaha. THANK YOU! You changed everything for me. Your videos are so eye opening. I love the way you talk and explain things and you have a nice voice :) And I love the dynamic of your family. You guys are awesome
I'm an new to WFPB. I appreciate your insights as well as your recommendation of resources. You take a ton of confusion and anxiety out the process. Thank you
Chels! It's Vegemite in Oz, never Marmite! Aargh. I have just started a potato reset to diminish the significance of food in everyday life. I'm not a fan of sweet potato so am using mostly kestrel potatoes. I steam a large batch in the instant pot then dice without cutting through the bottom. I smoosh them down and cover with some salt and pepper, parsley, green onion and the juice of half a lemon. It's delish, but super easy and uncomplicated. So I go.....
I did the potato reset a few weeks ago and lost 8.5 lb, although I have a long way to go I really got used to it quickly and didnt necessarily want to stop. Will do another one, probably after Christmas. Love the toast hack, def will try that one, where would we all be without an instant pot and air fryer!
3 kgs down since finding your info about being in a calorie deficit. First 2 weeks I was feeling a bit hungry at night which is okay. Even Dr Fuhrman talks about this and moderate caloric restriction. This third week I actually have felt not hungry a lot of the time. I think my brain has got with the program and now thinks ‘oh no, time for more fibre...let’s lay low’.
This diet is called the starch solution by Dr. John McDougall. You eat a starch and some no starchy vegetables. I lost 25 lbs and I lose about 2 lbs every week.
@@kevinwilson3337 It's jot just potatoes. You can still have rice, fruit, non-starchy veg, fruit, lentils, beans, peas. Less limiting than most diets... Just no fats and oils
Food is the most powerful medicine! Moving from the ideal of being thin equals beautiful to healthiness’ beautiful. I think considering that everyone is a very different beauty, in terms of weight, in terms of size, look. I’ve noticed that women are getting skinny thinner and thinner. There’s also so much information about different diets, and overwhelming and confusing… Its good aware of a good diet is to inspire women to make changes to their diet and also their lifestyle, diet, exercise, sleep based on hormone, health, longevity, beauty as well as skin in the future.
I never knew about the potato reset until yesterday. But I went through a phase in my pregnancy with my second child where all I wanted was potatoes. I ate so many potatoes! All I ate was potatoes and veggies. And I lost 10 pounds in two months. I wasn’t trying to I just loved potatoes during my pregnancy! And I still love them.
@@ChelseaMae Purchase a variety of potatoes, roast them up, and eat with steamed vegs as a quick dinner. I know the roasting is not quick, but once a batch is done and in the fridge, they will be easy to warm up.
Love this. Finishing an oat-based Mary's Mini tomorrow, then will do 10-day MM with rice, then 10 days with potatoes. Looking forward to the potatoes!!
Hi Chelsea, great video, yes The LOCKDOWN IN AUCKLAND SUCKS🤔 But on a positive note sweet potatoes/ kumara are great I loved it. Thanks for sharing your kumaras😉 and great ideas
As an older Kiwi now living in Western Australia, I so miss my Kumara. It is possible to get it sometimes but too expensive for my very limited income to eat often; for me now it’s a very occasional treat when available. I so envied your generous use of them. So I checked the price at NZ Countdown and was shocked to see even there it was listed at $12kg. And you don’t get many for a kg! Also, when I was young growing up in the Wairarapa the predominant spread used was Marmite though Vegemite was available so I found your comments on the spread interesting; obviously change has occurred there. In Australia Vegemite has always been more popular as far as I can tell. Thanks for your videos; I find them practical and encouraging. 🙂
No way! I'm trying the sweet potato toast! 😍 I've fallen into the habit of eating weetbix and soy milk everyday for breakfast 🙄 so I need a reset!!! ❤️
@@ChelseaMae it’s something I am struggling with so much! Pretzels and nuts are everywhere! Also a video about if juicing for health/skin/immune boost will effect progress in weight loss or maintenance would be awesome too! Thank you from the USA!
I do something similar but I just eat potato and veggie meals for my lunch and dinner. My breakfast and snacks is fruit. I cant do it without fruit because I will go on and binge on chocolate otherwise
Voices from the past (my mom) are screaming "YOU CAN'T HAVE POTATOES THEY WILL MAKE YOU FAT!!!" Thanks for this video I've been binge watching your channel right now. Love your encouragement.
Love listening to your accent. I’m from the US. Potato reset concept so interesting. I first heard of it from another TH-camr BroccoliMum who is from the UK. I think I’ll try it for 2 weeks. I have been eating more potatoes but also been eating legumes mostly chickpeas my fav. Love your videos.
I lost 20 pounds now I can't eat rice and only eat sweet potato 🥔🍠 with almost ever meal 🎉❤my hair line grew back bald spot filled in now I stay away from processed and eat real food 🥑🥝 God bless and I'm also goofy and silly 😁😜my dinner for more than 4 weeks organic eggs sweet potatoes 🍠 Irish butter 🧈 cinnamon maple syrup 🎉
Question: can you use yams rather than sweet potatoes? I like both, but just wondering if you think they’re equivalent for this eating plan. Thanks. An interesting and tasty approach to health and weight management.😊
I'm currently doing a combination. Porridge in the morning (mine is always just oats, water, flex seeds and some berrys, all im all about 400kcal) and after breakfast the potato reset for lunch and dinner+i try to aviod snacking (not working 100% but at least my snacks are just fruits) ... I think it's a good combination, i absolutly don't want to have potatos in the morning 😅
This video was helpful from beginning to ending, thanks Chels! Also my mom looked over my shoulder and first thought I was watching a video of myself 😄 I have brown eyes though :)
I thought when you had to do the potato diet, that's all you're supposed to eat, strictly, but I can see it not being bad to combine other veggies with it. But I would think w/the soy milk and curry sauce and all of that, would be too much to consider it just the potato diet. This is something I've been meaning to try for years, but I'm such a finicky eater that I get bored easily w/food and figured I couldn't stick to just potatoes for a month straight. I've seen the potato diet guy, I think he really kept it that simple. But if I can do it more like how you did, it would keep me interested and not tired of eating them. I really love potatoes as a nice, starchy food that gets me full easily, so I want to give this a real try after Christmas.
Hello Chelsea, I'm Jeffery from California I wanted to get back to being a vegan and I am using the potato reset to help me stop the candy and fast food it works an I love it I started in October it is November now my wife told me thanks giving is coming up and we are going to have cakes and candy with food I love my answer ok I am rating Potatoes and any thing green she told me after a month that I am losing weight. Thank you for all your videos Happy.
19:00 Really good advice right there that I'm trying to implement more. I'm trying to give up drinking alcohol, and it's been a struggle even though I don't hardly ever binge drink, I still drink regularly and that's adding weight to me over the years, so I'm trying to lose what I've gained and not get the strong urge especially after work to have a beer which leads to 3 or more and then I regret it the next day. Also trying to stay vegan too and that's been a challenge for years for me to stay pure. I think eating more starch based foods helps me like what Dr. John McDougall writes about in his starch based diet.
I loved this video Chelsea, I also saw your video when you did the potato reset for a month. I’m a sweet potato devotee now,sooo delicious 😋. I haven’t felt the need to do a reset thus far, but I agree it’s a terrific tool to bring you back to centre. I’m so trying the sweet potato toast, I eat vegemite 👏👌
What different "non-starchy vegetables" did you include? ( it looked like there were a lot?? ) I'm more familiar with how Penn Jillette did it ( book - PRESTO ).
So its not eating potatoes that results in weight loss (hopefully its fat loss)..its about limiting the foods you eat to potatoes and other veg while simutaneously abstaining from all other foods whether whole foods or refined or processed? Yep, removing the processed foods, fruits and other high glycemic index foods from the diet will ensure you dont unduly spike your blood sugar which tells insilin to come deal with it. Periods without spiking insulin means you dont store fat. Bazinga fat loss on a full tummy of nutrient dense potato and veg. Woohooo, brilliant 🤗
Lately ive been worried about eating to many potatoes. I lost ten pounds when i went WFPB over a year ago. Then figured i might as well quit smoking since i was eating healthy.... and then gained back 12lb. 😬 Im proud that a quit smoking but my weight has been plateaued now for about 10 months and I keep thinking my metabolism is gona stay stuck on 'slug' speed forever 😔 A couple of weeks ago i had a meltdown because pant shopping didnt go how I had hoped. I've been down on myself ever since and stressing that i eat too many potatoes. This video made me realise that potatoes are probably not the problem. So thank you. Im gona take a step back and re assess my habits.
@@ChelseaMae Hi there! Hope your doing well. I' ve been doing some thinking about where my problem could be. Your plateau podcast and then the NEAT podcast were both super helpful. (Huge fan of the podcast btw 😉) Im pretty consistent with eating whole foods. With the exception of weekend chips (crisps) and those i cut in early november. I definitely need to up my movement and I found the NEAT podcast had some amazing food for thought. And finally, while im eating mostly low calorie density im going to add extra non starchy veggies to at least my lunch and supper. Hopefully ill see some changes. 🤞
Well, not that potatoes is bad but you dont really start burning fat untill after all the carbs are used up & potatoes is like all carbs. Its a bit like all those "powder" diets being nearly 25-40% sugar & other carbs. Not that you cant loose weight on a high carb low calories diet but the body usually adapts fast to the smaller intake in 3-4 weeks tops & the weight loss stops.
Love your videos! Do you eat the skin on the sweet potatoes? I'm in America. They always are thicker and thought the skin should be removed after cooking it. But wonder if they're ok to eat? I eat russet potato skins.
I love sweet potatoes but the mannitol in them ruin my stomach 😥 luckily other potatoes I have no problem with I'm in love with them I could eat them everyday forever lol
I want to lose weight but I'm a bit confused 🤔 because I was told that sweet potatoes was fattening can explain how it helps in loosing weight.? thank you for sharing 🤗
The potato or sweet potato itself is not fattening (only 350-400 calories per pound); it’s the crap you put on them that’s the problem! I’ve lost over 97 pounds eating tons of potatoes and sweet potatoes, but I never put cheese, butter, bacon, or sour cream on them. Nor did I cook them in oil. THAT’S where the fattening calories come from!
@@bbqutie17 yes the toppings can add on.i can't have any kind of dairy been lactose all my life and bad cholesterol so no bacon or butter for me. Have to lose weight for health reasons.glad to know I can have then more often than I do. Congratulations on your weight loss 🙏 praying I can lose some weight soon. thank you 😊
I did the potato diet to the T. At least 6 weeks never cheating. And cheating was A bite of something my son had. Or a pretzel. No desserts, no globs of food or processed meals…. No oil, no fats…Absolutely nothing happened. I added some veggies and rice for a while. Then I added some beans. Its been 3 months. Nothing has changed. The difference could be I am not young ( 60) & metabolism is slow. Light exercise a few times a week. No sugar or gluten. Felt fine but weight remains. Weird.
Let us ask some serious questions: What was the weight (in pounds) before the potato diet and after? Also the Body mass index would be interesting to know. Without such hard and measurable facts somebody can claim anything.

I'm trying to give up drinking alcohol, and it's been a struggle even though I don't hardly ever binge drink, I still drink regularly and that's adding weight to me over the years, so I'm trying to lose what I've gained and not get the strong urge especially after work to have a beer which leads to 3 or more and then I regret it the next day. Also trying to stay vegan too and that's been a challenge for years for me to stay pure. I think eating more starch based foods helps me like what Dr. John McDougall writes about in his starch based diet.
Marmite if you’re Australian? Vegemite is Australian! 😂
Love the vid though - very interesting!
I will try this potato toast. Thank you 🙏
I loved this video Chelsea, I also saw your video when you did the potato reset for a month. I’m a sweet potato devotee now,sooo delicious 😋. I haven’t felt the need to do a reset thus far, but I agree it’s a terrific tool to bring you back to centre.
I’m so trying the sweet potato toast, I eat vegemite 👏👌
Ok I just haveeeeeee to ask where are you glasses from the name brand? i LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!
I love potatoes but not plain. I will try this as long as I can mix it up a little.
You got great recipes and great advice and knolodge.
I love it like Mary mini🥰🥰I pick potato 1 week was amazin. I need to do again
Sweet potato toast = mind blown! (*sploosh --- the sound of my mind being blown)
haha! Let me know how you like it!!
What was the frozen item you put in the soup. Couldn’t hear or understand.
Thank you for the video 😊
What different "non-starchy vegetables" did you include? ( it looked like there were a lot?? ) I'm more familiar with how Penn Jillette did it ( book - PRESTO ).
6:23 Steamed Potato Best! Boiled Potato Second Best! Some Health Gurus Say: “Don’t Eat Baked Potato Skins!”
So its not eating potatoes that results in weight loss (hopefully its fat loss)..its about limiting the foods you eat to potatoes and other veg while simutaneously abstaining from all other foods whether whole foods or refined or processed? Yep, removing the processed foods, fruits and other high glycemic index foods from the diet will ensure you dont unduly spike your blood sugar which tells insilin to come deal with it. Periods without spiking insulin means you dont store fat. Bazinga fat loss on a full tummy of nutrient dense potato and veg. Woohooo, brilliant 🤗
Im on day 5 i make it with organic maple syrup organic cinnamon and butter kerry gold 🥇.the ones in this vid are Japanese potatoes 👀 i know my spuds 🍲
Lately ive been worried about eating to many potatoes. I lost ten pounds when i went WFPB over a year ago. Then figured i might as well quit smoking since i was eating healthy.... and then gained back 12lb. 😬 Im proud that a quit smoking but my weight has been plateaued now for about 10 months and I keep thinking my metabolism is gona stay stuck on 'slug' speed forever 😔 A couple of weeks ago i had a meltdown because pant shopping didnt go how I had hoped. I've been down on myself ever since and stressing that i eat too many potatoes. This video made me realise that potatoes are probably not the problem. So thank you. Im gona take a step back and re assess my habits.
This is such a great reflection! let me know what you discover when you reassess!
@@ChelseaMae Hi there! Hope your doing well. I' ve been doing some thinking about where my problem could be. Your plateau podcast and then the NEAT podcast were both super helpful. (Huge fan of the podcast btw 😉) Im pretty consistent with eating whole foods. With the exception of weekend chips (crisps) and those i cut in early november. I definitely need to up my movement and I found the NEAT podcast had some amazing food for thought. And finally, while im eating mostly low calorie density im going to add extra non starchy veggies to at least my lunch and supper. Hopefully ill see some changes. 🤞
Great video many thanks!
This is intriguing and I LOVE potatoes so this just gives me an excuse to eat a bunch of potatoes 😀 💙 Annisa
Well, not that potatoes is bad but you dont really start burning fat untill after all the carbs are used up & potatoes is like all carbs. Its a bit like all those "powder" diets being nearly 25-40% sugar & other carbs. Not that you cant loose weight on a high carb low calories diet but the body usually adapts fast to the smaller intake in 3-4 weeks tops & the weight loss stops.
I cook my sweet potatos in my instant pot I can eat them everyday. 1 big sweet potato in the instant pot will take 16 minutes with 1 cup of water.
You’re channel and you are awesome
Love your videos! Do you eat the skin on the sweet potatoes? I'm in America. They always are thicker and thought the skin should be removed after cooking it. But wonder if they're ok to eat? I eat russet potato skins.
Why are you sweet potatoes white rather than orange?
I love sweet potatoes but the mannitol in them ruin my stomach 😥 luckily other potatoes I have no problem with I'm in love with them I could eat them everyday forever lol
I want to lose weight but I'm a bit confused 🤔 because I was told that sweet potatoes was fattening can explain how it helps in loosing weight.? thank you for sharing 🤗
Look up The Starch Solution for your answer.
The potato or sweet potato itself is not fattening (only 350-400 calories per pound); it’s the crap you put on them that’s the problem! I’ve lost over 97 pounds eating tons of potatoes and sweet potatoes, but I never put cheese, butter, bacon, or sour cream on them. Nor did I cook them in oil. THAT’S where the fattening calories come from!
@@bbqutie17 yes the toppings can add on.i can't have any kind of dairy been lactose all my life and bad cholesterol so no bacon or butter for me. Have to lose weight for health reasons.glad to know I can have then more often than I do. Congratulations on your weight loss 🙏 praying I can lose some weight soon. thank you 😊
Oh how I WISH we could get something other than white potatoes and orange sweet potatoes here in the uk!😢
New stubby here you have inspired me going shop now for some sweet potatoes
Hi Chelsea!! Great video! Do you drink regular coffee or decaf?
What kind of sweet potatoes are those?
Thanks for sharing this
💚your videos.. question: are the Potatoes/Sweet potatoes you use, Organic ?
Why don’t you cook potato’s in the pressure cooker?
Thank you.
Great video.😊
Last time I started eating baked potatoes I gained a lot of weight .
I did the potato diet to the T. At least 6 weeks never cheating. And cheating was A bite of something my son had. Or a pretzel. No desserts, no globs of food or processed meals…. No oil, no fats…Absolutely nothing happened. I added some veggies and rice for a while. Then I added some beans. Its been 3 months. Nothing has changed. The difference could be I am not young ( 60) & metabolism is slow. Light exercise a few times a week. No sugar or gluten. Felt fine but weight remains. Weird.
Do actually need to lose weight? Are you already within a healthy BMI?
Let us ask some serious questions: What was the weight (in pounds) before the potato diet and after? Also the Body mass index would be interesting to know. Without such hard and measurable facts somebody can claim anything.
Can you eat sweet potatoes and yams as well as normal or russet potatoes?
That was a great 👍
