Chelsea Lazkani is sharing the meal that helped her transform her body this year.
On Wednesday, Dec, 10, the Selling Sunset star, 32, posted a TikTok video of her sharing the oatmeal recipe that led to her recent weight gain. “The oatmeal that helped me gain 30 lbs. in six months,” she said.
In the clip, the reality star’s oatmeal included raisins, nuts, sugar, a cinnamon stick, shredded coconut, milk, water and an entire stick of butter.
“How I gained weight? EAT YA OATS!” she wrote in the caption. “This twice a day on top of ur regular diet #smotheredoats.”

In a since-deleted post on X, Lazkani shut down body shamers and shared what pushed her to start her weight-gain journey.
“Trigger warning to myself: THIS was my previous weight, to those of u that keep commenting u miss ‘skinny Chelsea’ that was an unhappy, unhealthy person,” she wrote in June alongside photos of herself from two years ago. “I did not know or see it. U only see the light once u are out of the dark. Ur comments will not allow me to revert bk to that.”
That wasn’t the first time Lazkani clapped back at people who had something to say about her appearance.

Back in May, the Netflix star responded to internet speculation that she had altered her face.
“I never touched my face!!! Please stop this, I added weight, stopped wearing heavy makeup, eyeshadow and lashes,” she replied to a now-deleted X post. “If you don’t like my natural face, just say that.”
She then added a second post minutes later. “All this what did you do to your face nonsense… always had almond eyes, a tiny nose and full lips. I was just 40 pounds skinnier, looking like a skeleton,” she wrote.
At the time, Lazkani responded to even more comments about her weight.
She wrote, ” ‘Chelsea you look so different’ – yeah I was 100lb looking malnourished before xx.”
“An extra 40lb does ALOT lemme tell ya 🥰,” she said before following up and adding: “God forbid a girl decides she no longer wants to look like a twig.”
