6 Food Swaps for Weight Loss / Low Calorie Density Diet

I love lemon or lime with the Italian herbs paste for a dressing. Frozen grapes are so amazing to snack on, especially the cotton candy ones. That blueberry dressing idea sounds yummy, I’ll have to try it😁

Hey Melissa.. this is super informative.. I needed this information so much .. Thank you Melissa it's very helpful 💚💚💚😚🤙🏻🌿🍃

I make my oatmeal with riced cauliflower mixed in. I can’t taste it and I get a BIG bowl

Love my big bowl of oats! ❤

Whats wrong with plain popcorn with no butter? Air popped

Actually, I sub pop corn for crunchy raw vegetables such as snow peas, snap peas, green beans... to me, they're so good!

How many scoops of oats do you recommend for breakfast porridge?

You should do a video on oil free/low fat dressings and condiments! That would be super helpful

I 💕 my green smoothie I have most days. And I love that I am getting nourishing greens in me. So good!

If you love chips thinly slice a raw potato or 2 bake 15-20 min at 425 flip halfway through, use salsa or a home made bean puree with seasonings as a dip mmmm game changer for my snacky self or use 100% organic corn tortillas that are made with just organic corn water & or lime bake 5- 10 min sooo good .

I want crunchy snacks...

great tips. I need to stop w/the popcorn; that is a biggie for me. love the idea of the grapes. will stock up. thank you!

Thank you for taking your time to explain everything to us.

Love your channel beautiful lady xxx

Great tips! Have you ever considered doing a collab with Healthy Emmie? I think you both would be awesome together! 💖

YESS! My go-to snack is a bowl of frozen blueberries! LOVE IT!!!!

I love oatmeal, and I have even tried it with some chunks of zucchini mixed in and cinnamon. My question is why do I always hear from so many people in weight loss videos say that it is not good for weight loss?? Also, to those people that mentioned using diced cauliflower, what a great idea!

I see you love cinnamon, I do too I suggest that anyone whose obsessed with cinnamon make sure your using the Ceylon and not usual Cassia, a teaspoon or more of Cassia(ongoing)can cause cancer liver,and kidney disease.

Thank you for another great video! You have beautiful hair. Can you please make a video on how you take care of it. 🙏

I do all of them except the last one. I plan to use that tip tonight! Thanks SO much!!!!!

I actually add kale and spinach and loads of other fruits, turmeric, cinnamon, oat milk. A date and oh my! Deliciously nutritious!

I have to say that I think you should use those before and after shots more often when you reference your weight loss, dear lady. Because I think that many will react to a twenty or so pound reduction as “not very much” whereas, because you are so tiny, that is a LOT! :).

Can I mixed ground up oats with my smoothies?

Chips. Spiralze a potato and air fry it. It turns super crispy without oil. Its amazing

Thank you

Hmm. Somehow, my green juice, heavy with celery, is very satisfying in the morning and late afternoon, along with green smoothies .

great tips. I make my oatmeal with water because I don't like any kind of milk taste wise. In that case would you recommend adding chia seeds to the oatmeal for nutriitional value?

Love your hair like this!!

So helpful!!! Love your videos 👌🏻

Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a simple way. I didn’t know vegan “meats” were loaded with oil. I’m somewhat new to the lifestyle.

This was a HUGE help to me thank you so much ☺️

Thank you. I shared this with our plant based group. Very helpful.

Flavored balsamic vinegars are great to add flavor without extra oil!

Yes oil is high in caloric density but demonising it by saying it's 4,000 calories per pound lacks physiology knowledge. If you drank a cup of olive oil you would not absorb it all 100% due to a limited amount of bile produced by our bodies. You would simply excrete the excess.

I actually snack on steamed baby carrots that have cooled in my fridge. They are bite sized, and sweet as well as a way to get more veggies in.

Is it OK to do overnight oats with almond milk instead of cooking them? I do not like warm oatmeal!

I didn’t know that plain air popped popcorn was a no no, I eat 3 to 5 cups of this popcorn daily, could this be what’s hindering me from losing any weight even though I’m very good about what I eat and follow the starch solution rules to the letter.

I've made changes this week and I am feeling a lot better. I have about 8 lbs to lose. It's definitely that little bit that is so stubborn to lose. I have started making oatmeal for breakfast and have eliminated oils and PB. You are certainly right about not needing it. Water works the same! Thanks so much for your tips Melissa! Hope to see your new upcoming videos💕🌱

Thank you for this video! You remind me of a dark-haired Isla Fischer! So beautiful!

these videos are so helpful thanks so much
