WHAT I EAT IN A DAY TO LOSE WEIGHT
2019-02-03 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 11 min
Chantal (Foodie Beauty) walks viewers through a typical day of eating while trying to lose weight. She explains her tracking routine (writing down foods, calories, and eating window to approximate intermittent fasting), reviews yesterday's vegan meal out at Pure Kitchen, shows her planned meals (oatmeal with banana and chocolate chips for breakfast; Gardein-style chicken sliders with mashed avocado and steamed Brussels sprouts for later), mentions a recent weigh-in and weight-loss progress, and closes with reminders to record everything. She emphasizes whole-food, plant-based choices while allowing plant-based comfort foods and occasional treats.
