I see a glimmer of old-timey, ghost-diet Chantal reemerging here.
Nader doesn't "understand" food addiction. He grew up without a microwave! That's a very Chantal-ish thing to say. Like how Bibi didn't "understand" food addiction because he came from some exotic land where there wasn't a fast-food joint every half mile. These foreign men with their wacky backgrounds don't get it, but they find fat chicks exotic and appealing because all the women from their own countries have dried-out raisins and not juicy peaches.
There's a downside to this, though, and that's that Nader is eliminating her excuses. Even without him intending to hold her accountable, you can see she's getting defensive. Her line for the last year or so has been that she just needs to start "eating healthy," and by that she means "home-cooked". Even her food deliveries have been "healthy" things like smoothies and pasta with "homemade" sauce and stuff. Sometimes, at least, when she's trying to shut up her chat. She makes one really transparent attempt at eating healthily and then figures she's earned a beeze. The fact that her "healthy" foods are still incredibly high in sugar, carbs, fat, and calories doesn't matter to her. It isn't McDonald's, so it's practically health food!
But now she has a guy around who legitimately doesn't like fast food. It's not a matter of money for him -- in fact, he's happy to spend her money on pounds of cheese and platters of lamb shanks and tubs of olives. No, if Nader had his way, all three meals a day would be made at home and therefore 100% healthy and diet-friendly in Chantal's head.
So. She has a dilemma. A couple dilemmas, in fact.
As others have pointed out, she's never going to be able to stop eating fast food. It just will not happen, and the circus that will emerge around her trying to hide from Nader but still try to binge and maybe even include her audience, will be fascinating. Unlike Bibi, Nader doesn't work (and in fact, Chantal either is, or soon will be, too insecure to let him out of her sight for more than ten minutes at a time) so her parking lot ragebangs won't work. And even then, unlike Bibi, Nader will watch her streams (and/or be contacted by tattle tales) to inform him of every last french fry she inhales. I don't think he really cares that much about her health; it's not like he'll try to stop her from eating out of any concern for her. But he might be concerned about her wallet (and his grocery supply) and even without any of that, Chantal will find this humiliating. It's obvious that she doesn't quite comprehend that her audience are people and that the internet is real, which means she can openly gorge in front of us without feeling shame. Add a single actual human to the mix though -- even just someone walking past her car in the parking lot -- and she can't deal with things. So this will be fun to watch.
But there's another problem here. Even if she manages to kick the fast food -- or at least keep it hidden -- she'll still stay fat because she'll still keep gorging on "healthy" food. She has to confront the fact that food isn't the real problem here. It's her inability to regulate her intake. It's not the neon signs or the TV ads. It's not the secret Nashie sauce or the fact that her family had a microwave growing up. It's her. It's all her, and it's always been her. Lots of people manage to resist fast food, or to eat it in moderation. Lots of people manage to monitor their diets and not eat hundreds of donuts over a weekend, even if they do smoke a lot of weed.
It's her fault she's fat. At the end of the day, Chantal Sarault is the only thing keeping Chantal Sarault fat, miserable, and in the fast lane to death. Switching 5000 calories of Burger King for 5000 calories of lamb shank might be a marginal improvement, but it's not going to magically make her lose weight. She's still a pig, just a pig that's going to be eating double-cream feta instead of double quarter-pounders.
This is going to be the much more interesting and fun issue, imo. She's used to hiding her fast food intake, and even though that will be harder than ever and more hilarious when she gets busted, she's at least used to it. But hiding her "healthy food" intake won't even occur to her, and once her chat starts criticizing her for eating too much "healthy food" she will lose it completely.
She will literally do anything but count calories. She'll try to find the "good sugar" and just continue to binge on that, the same way she's now found the "good food" and thinks she can stuff herself and still lose weight. Neither will satisfy her and she'll be back to the "bad" stuff shortly, but at no point will the actual volume of food or amount of calories really be reduced that much.

It came up again in one of her videos the other day, but she's on the "fructose isn't the same as glucose, guize!" thing again.
So here's the truth behind that. Simplified, but true:
Sucrose is table sugar, and it's a mix of glucose and fructose. It's pretty bad for you, especially if you're morbidly obese like Chantal.
Glucose is metabolized differently from fructose. It doesn't have to be broken down by the body before it can be used for energy, and basically goes straight from your digestive tract into your blood stream. It spikes your blood sugar, has a high glycemic load, etc. and will cause an insulin response that fructose won't. It's pretty bad for you, especially if you're diabetic like Chantal.
Fructose is more "natural" in that it's found in things like fruit and honey, but it has to be broken down by the body before it can be used for energy. So before hitting your bloodstream, it has to be processed in the liver. This can be hard on your liver, and fructose will cause NAFLD. Have you ever heard of the controversy around high-fructose corn syrup being added to everything, and the havoc it can wreak on your body? Same stuff. It's pretty bad for you, especially if you have a fatty liver like Chantal.
Healthy people can eat either (or both) in moderation, and there's something to be said for fructose in that at least it doesn't mess up your blood glucose to the same degree as pure glucose does, and it tastes much sweeter to boot. But it's not a "better" sugar. It still has the same calories and it's still going to negatively impact her weight. And destroy what's left of her liver. Because she has no sense of moderation and will binge on the "safe" sugar, because she's incredibly stupid and has no reasoning except motivated reasoning.
