Was vegan 41/2 years I slipped away from it a year ago found you guys and I’m back to it thanks for your content love watching you and your family ❤
Oh wow! Happy to be part of your journey but YOU are the one making the choices. Happy to have you in our community!
Exact same thing happened to me!!! My friends could tell a huge difference in my body and they made a comment recently. They all remembered when I wasn't eating animal products.
I so appreciate the oft overlooked point that humans are animals too!❤ I've been put off when I see people innocently asking questions about starting the vegan journey and being eviscerated by other vegans. Compassionate responses are the way to go, imo. This includes comparison for ourselves too, which could include respectfully disengaging. Thank you, thank you!☮️💜
I’ve been doing vegan 3 months now. You’ve been a big part of this. My adult daughter is now joining me. I’ve lost about 30lbs and look and feel amazingly better. So I’m sharing you, and other awesome vegan chefs with her, and anybody who shows interest. I have a feeling she’s going to really like you.
Oh wow - so happy to be a small part of your amazing journey and love that this is something that you and your daughter can share :) Congrats on 3 months!
@@pbwithjeremy THANKYOU. That being appreciated business is a 2-way street!
I went WFPB in 2003, so I'm no longer a beginner. However, I still love seeing what other people are doing and joining in. Great suggestions in this video. I wish you had been around when I took the plunge. Doctors Fuhrman and Greger are a wealth of information.
For anyone who is new to WFPB, please don't worry about your nutrition or health. After nearly 20 years, I still think it's one of the best decisions I ever made. I feel better at 61 than I did at 42 when I started.
Wow! You're an OG! Good for you! And glad this information is interesting even when you're an expert!
I became whole food plant based 13 years ago to assist my aunt stem her new diagnosis of breast cancer and multiple myeloma. It worked so well for my aunt and myself. I lost weight, my fibromyalgia, irritable bowels, heartburn, and constipation resolved. I had no post exercise soreness, stinky stools or breath or armpits 😂, my blood sugar stays in low pre diabetes ,😅blood pressure and cholesterol. In the beginning I was too aggressive with fiber which caused diarrhea. Go slowly. I drink sei mei green tea and hojicha tea. I take a dish to friends’ houses. Find Whole Foods hot meals or salad bar although expensive.
What a story and journey you've been on! Amazing.
Hey Jeremy-
Became a vegan in August 2022, dropped 45 lbs. ,felt great and looked better than I had in years. Summer vacations and holidays from Halloween thru New Years have derailed me and am anxious to get back to basics. I am Diving in Head First on New Years Day. My goal is to live to be 100 (I'll be 74 in 2024) Looking to strengthen my mind and body on a WFPB (No Oil) lifestyle. Enjoy watching all your content on RUclips and wishing you and your a Healthy & Happy New Year. Cheers~Lani (Ithaca, New York)
Congrats on the initial weight loss and I know you can get back to it!
I am vegan for the animals, health and environment and prefer a wfpb lifestyle and Jeremy's channel helps with that. Looking forward to 2024 and achieving my goals for my channel. Love 🥰 the video and love ❤ Jeremy & family.
Thanks David!
My doctor wanted me to start taking cholesterol medication for a reversible artery buildup, and i opted instead to eat vegan! Thank you for a great channel, because i only started a month ago and i've already lost 10 pounds. I love that your recipes are made with realistic ingredients, and you show how to make substitutions if i don't have something on hand that the recipe calls for. Your cookbook reviews are great! Thank you for all you do!
Thanks for sharing!! Can't waiit to hear your doctor's reaction!
🌟Hi from Austin TX!
I'm ready to start!🌟
I will be 60 years old in 2024 and I am a Type 2 Diabetic.
My A1c a few months ago was 6.3...not terrible. Last year...8.7.
Eating wfpb vegan is very doable and I am looking forward to 2024.
Happy New Year to us all!🎉🌟
go all in...u will not regret it!!!!
I cant wait to hear about all the wonderful changes for you in 2024!!!
I reversed prediabetes on a WFPB diet 2 years ago, and feel better than ever! You can do this! 💚🌱✨🙌
My name is Ayana, from Oakland, California! I've flirted with this idea for a while, eating healthy, but thought that I didn't need to be vegan in order to be at my healthiest. I'm very excited to see what Veganuary brings!
You doing it???
Yes! I would love to! My best friend and I are doing it together! Thanks! 🎉🎉🎉@@pbwithjeremy
Yes!!!! Can't wait to hear how it goes along the way - keep me in the loop :) @@ayanaatthrivebewhole
My why for veganuary. I was recently diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. My cholesterol and triglycerides are sky high. I was taking pills to eat meat, which I never liked or wanted to eat anyway, it just was something I did for my family because my daughter has celic disease and already had a limited diet. Anyway, when the results of my physical came back, and my doctor wanted to put me on all these drugs, well, It suddenly occured to me if I don't put me first, there might not BE a me. Bonus is that I also get to put the planet and animals first too. I have wanted to do this for a long time.
I'm so excited for what changes you'll see in your body over the next month. Please keep me posted!!!! There's nothing wrong with being "selfish" when it comes to YOUR health..
Hi Jeremy, I have been Vegan for 3 months now & I was surprised how easy it has been. I have lost 45 pounds. I love your videos and your encouragement for those of us just starting this journey. Laurie from Massachusetts
Keep it up it really is so easy especially when your mind is on track for it :) Happy to be a small part of your journey!!!
When I first went plant-based, I thought my energy elevated to a level that I hadn't felt in a long, long time. I also slept better, my mind was more clear. Side effect of going WFPB..... a stenosis in my left carotid artery is now GONE! Happy New Year to you and your family! (also, EEEWWWWW to Trainspotting, I thought I had finally forgotten about that movie.... thanks a lot! LOL)
That's the BEST side effect! Congrats!!!! HNY to you too!!! (and you LOVED that I used that Transpotting clip, I know it ;-) )
Thank you for your kindness. It took me two attempts before I could stick with wfpb. If I had already known your videos, it would have been quicker for sure. I was very insecure and afraid of nutritional deficiencies. Everything is fine now, for over five years. I am wfpb for the animals, my health and the environment.
You got this! Glad that we're here not to help!
I've been off and on WFPB for the past year or so. I do okay for a week or so, then fall into old, bad habits. I am determined to stick with it this time and your video gave me some much needed encouragement. Thanks for all of the content you share!
You can do it! Just get the junk outta the house!
A really straight forward and to the point video. I started plants only last summer after finding your channel. I feel good but haven't lost any weight as I am trying to cook recipes that will appeal to my omnivore husband. Unfortunately most of those include cashews and more pasta than I've eaten in my life. They're all delicious! I'm being kind to myself and the planet and will never go back. Thanks, Jeremy!
Thanks Karen! Maybe try adding more vegetables to the pasta dish and reducing the amount of pasta. How are you using the cashews?
That's great!! And yes being kind to yourself is very important!
I watch many vegan and WFPB RUclips channels that I love including PB and J. Have you ever heard of Derek Sarno? He and his brother Chad are both vegan and WFPB chefs. He makes food to entice omnivores with easy to find ingredients. I haven't personally tried any of his recipes but they look absolutely delicious and they'll hopefully give you more ideas.
Thank you, Jeremy for another great video. I have been a vegetarian from the time I was 18. I am now 63. I initially became a vegetarian because my college roommates were vegetarian. However, I remained morbidly obese and uncomfortable in my body. I tried dieting dozens of times... Fed up, in Oct 2018 I took a nutrition class based on the CHIP program. The nutritionist/instructor introduced us to How Not to Die by Dr Michael Greger, which we read/followed together for 12 weeks. Besides introducing us to the wfpb sos free lifestyle, our first class assignments was to watch the video, Forks Over Knives. My husband walked in the room while I was watching and it caught his eye. He actually remained in the room. By the end of the video, he decided we both should take this journey together. We never looked back... It has been life changing. Truly delicious way of eating! And yes, at times I have gained weight... But I have learned weight gain is an indication I need to focus on eating nonstarchy vegetables and reduce the amount of starches, nuts/seeds/avocados unless I want to exercise more.
But nuts and seeds are so good for you... I never heard dr. Greger say anything bad about nuts and seeds..
Good fats are important!
What a story and journey you've got here! Congrats to both of you!
They aren't saying eliminate - reduce - which for nuts and seeds you should actually - they are very calorie dense so while they're healthy fats they should still be eaten in small amounts
I've been Vegan since May of 2022 and am still transitioning to WFPB. Im preparing for surgery at the end of February, so Im using Veganuary as a Jumpstart to being fully WFPB from here on out and to make the physical changes I need to be as healthy as possible for the rest of my life. 😊
You got this! I also have another Healthy Habits video coming up this Wed that might help with this as well :)
@@pbwithjeremy thank you! Looking forward to your video on Wednesday!
I went plant based in 2020, mainly for environmental reasons. Having some time on my hands in 2020 (!) I educated myself and added animal welfare to my "why", I then found I lost weight and felt much healthier. So now my "why" is for my ethics, my morals and my health. Win, win, win. 😊
Yup - I have a LOT of whys - which is great as I'll have no excuse to ever go back to the old ways!
From Idaho, USA. Local hospital has Lifestyle Medicine. Teaches Whole Foods, Plant Based classes. Great classes and diet. So easy when you get use to a different mind set! 😊
So happy to hear the local hospital is doing that. A change is in the air!!!
Thank you for this!! The holidays were hard for me this year. Though I am down 130 lbs on a WFPB, I still have another 100 lbs to go to my ultimate goal. I love watching you and your family!!! It’s time to update my “why”. Thank you for the motivation and supportive videos. Happy New Year!!!! 🎉
You've got this Ted! 130 is a huge amount - be very proud of your success so far!
Hi Jeremy, Chris here in Colorado. Another great video! Thanks! I’ve been a whole food vegetarian most of my life. Now, at 67, am leaning more in the whole food vegan direction. I’ve been following you for a while now. Thanks for all the great tips and inspiration. And for making it fun! Wishing you and your a family a very Happy New Year.
Hey Chris! Thanks for writing! Sounds like you've got a great foundation - keep it up!
Thank you for your video as always Jeremy! I went “vegan” in January of 2021 after watching Forks over Knives. I actually started knowing it’s the healthiest way to eat for longevity but over the last few years I have also found myself doing it for the animals and the planet 🌎. My husband was very supportive and went along with me (for the most part) but getting our kids on board has been the hardest part. They were 9, 11 and 16 at the time I started. Basically, junk food snacks and dairy have been so hard to get rid of in order to try and keep them sort of happy with the transition. All that said, it’s a new year and the hubby and I are switching from vegan to WFPB, cutting out the junk and cleaning up our environment because as Chef AJ says “if it’s in your house it’s in your mouth”! Thankful for this community ❤
My pleasure!!! We're taking the community to the next level with memberships - so check that out if you're interested! And isn't it interesting how we start with one reason and it shifts/grows?
13 year vegan here. I enjoy the excitement of the possible new vegan peeps this time of year. And hello from Southwest Michigan!
That is awesome!
I'm on my fourth year plant based. I was dying when I moved to live with my son and his family in Illinois. I'd had cancer twice, five heart attacks complicated by damage to my heart from chemo, had mobility issues from 30 years of MS, was hypertensive and diabetic (T2), and my doctor said they were out of options. After 3 full years, I'm 40 lbs lighter, and my diabetes is in remission. I still have issues, but plants gave me back the chance to spend some more time with my grandkids and great grandkid, as well as my kids and my friends.
What an incredible story! E-mail me if you're ever interested in sharing it with the rest of our community in a live chat: pbwithjeremy@gmail.com
I've been vegan about 7 years now and the only thing i regret is not going vegan sooner. I did it for the animals but now im so much healthier. Ill stay vegan for the rest of my life no question. Thanks for the good information to help
Same! 100%
Hello, Tammy from Utah here. I really love your videos and all of your different content.
Thank you so much!
Thanks Jeremy 🙂
For me its mainly about health. I lost around 80lbs and I am looking for a healthy, nutritious way to maintain were I'm at.
I giggled when you recommended how not to diet. My mobile was sat upon the Cookbook of it whilst watching the video.
Seasons greetings to you, the family and to all the PB with J family ☺️
Same to you! ANd congrats on the weight loss!!!
I’ve been plant based/vegan now for 11 mos. My health is improving, and I am watching this as a reinforcement of staying plant based/vegan. Thank you!
Congrats on nearing one year!!!
Michelle from Ottawa! Love your channel. Veggie girl for over 20 years and attempting to transition to fully WFPB. I don’t love cooking and l rely on good cookbooks that are easy to use. Your reviews (and the way you involve your family) are awesome and so helpful and I love your humour 👍🏻 thank you! Happy New Year 🎉
Our pleasure!!! And you've got this!
I've recently been keeping your videos playing in the background while I'm at work from home. You have such a relaxing voice and love you're way of presenting. Loved this video! Such a great guide for beginners
Wow, thank you! Happy to keep you company! Like co-workers :)
Hello Jeremy… I just found your channel and it’s so great to see this way of eating, becoming more and more popular. I’ve been vegan whole food plant-based for about 13 years and going strong. Good luck to your channel.
Welcome aboard! You're old-school! Glad to have you in our community.
So hi! I'm Sarah and I have always been overweight. And as I've aged, I've started to notice health problems. I recently watched a video about the benefits of WFPB. And I've decided to dive in head first. I've done the "pantry purge" (for me because my family is not on board). So I'm glad I found you. Because I feel like I'm on my own in a house of ravenous carnivores lol. So wish me luck. I'm diving in!!
You've got this Sarah! Congrats for deciding to make a change - you're not alone - you've gor this community - we've got your back!
And, maybe my social life. ❤😂😅😊🎉
15+ years Vegan plant based n loving it!
Haha - glad you liked that :) COngrats on 15 years!!!
Let’s see, I was vegetarian for 42 years and after that vegan for 10 years. Originally it was for the animals. It still is for the animals, but it is now also for my health and peace of mind. (I feel ethically good about what I’m eating.) I have gone back-and-forth between vegan and WFPB no oil. I fall into the overweight vegan category, which makes me unhappy. I am going to try my best to get back to WFPB no oil. 👍🏻💪🏻
“Don’t yuck someone else’s yum”, LOVE THIS! I never do, but I’ve sure received some rude yucks. I was once told that my Indian take out looked like the inside of a diaper. 🤦🏻♀️ 🙄
Most people don't understand what veganism and vegetarism is all about, some people think that you can't be healthy on a diet with out meat and dairy people think that you need dairy for strong bones and teeth, but the truth is that you need calcium for strong bones and teeth and you can get calcium from plants 🪴 😊👍
You've got this. It takes some extra consideration, but we haven't found it difficult. HERE'S THE SHIRT :) pbwithj.myshopify.com/products/dont-yuck-my-yum-unisex-heavy-cotton-tee
Regarding that pantry purge--when I committed to being vegan, I gradually used up all the animal products as adjuncts to the vegan meals I was making. At one point, the last piece of cheese and the last slice of bacon was used up. We no longer had any animal products in the house. But because he'd been weaned so stealthily and gradually,, it was another month before he realized he was vegan (it was the pandemic, so he was eating every meal here). I asked him if he wanted to continue, and he said yes. So there's more than one way to purge that pantry
LOVE this story - sneaky but effective!
I started going meatless, honestly because lentils are cheaper than meat. But since I want to go completely wfpb vegan for all the reasons. Health, compassion for animals and the environment.
ALL great reasons - even the budget one!
I'm doing this for the planet. 30 years ago switched to plant based after reading Diet fo a Small planet. Last year we started Veganuary. Im less stressed knowing I don't have to be perfect. I'd be happy with millions of none perfect vegans, than 100 perfect vegans. Lets have a great year!
LOVE that - I agree - we need more non-perfect vegan :)
Happy Veganuary! ❤
Same to you!
I found that my gut just couldn't make a drastic switch. Transitioning slowly helped my gut make the switch a bit easier. I already ate a good portion of my diet as fruit and vegetables so I first just cut out dairy. Once I starved out those microbes, I started replacing meat with beans. Finally, I started transitioning from white carbs to whole grain.
Thanks for sharing! Everyone's body is different - and I was pescatarian for 12 years and eating mostly whole grains before I went fully plant-based, so I had a LONG transition period to adjust
Hi Eilís (eye-Lish) here in Connemara, Co Galway (Ireland) . I tried going plant based before but just slowly slipped back into my old ways of eating. I think I tried too hard to fast to begin with and was struggling with such a change. I will try to go a bit slower this time , I think a gradual transition for me will just suit me better. Although I have to say unknown to myself I did pretty good today . Avocado toast for brekkie, mushroom soup for lunch , hummus n crackers, veggie Burritto for dinner ,😊 . So 1st day almost over and I'm pretty happy with today . I made a list today of what I like to eat and I am going to find better plant based recipes for those meals. 😊
You're doing great!!! One day at a time. Keep the meals similar in flavour and style to what you normally like and just swap out the things you need to make plant-based :) You got this!!!
I do this yearly to help me get healthier, lose weight, and lower cholesterol. Also, I looovvvvvvvvvvvveee animals!!
Thanks Julie!!!!!
I'm interested in Veganuary because I really want to eat healthier and STICK TO IT!!
Great reason!
I never heard of Veganuary lol. I just decided to go to Vegan/Vegetarian for health reasons. I'm from Connecticut and enjoying your recipes!
Hi Paula! Glad you're enjoying!!
I think cleaning up your pantry is so important but, if your husband is not interested in WFPB, it's impossible to do, Even out of site is difficult. Support is really helpful. Best of planning to all.
Can you make your own areas?
. . . luvvvv the bday wishes from your absolutely beautiful Familia....Glo ( aka betubu) from Pittsburg, Calif...God Bless You & your Gorgeous Wife, Daughter & Son & pray you each have a Most Blest & Joy-filled New Year & many many more....❤
Thank you Glo!
OK, I bought the bundle, now I need to figure out the best way to read them. Not very good with computers and I can't afford to print all that off.......Anyways, I have been WFPBSOS for almost 2.5 years. I have brought my A1C way down, avoided needles and my doctor is super happy. I have only lost 45 pounds and I need that much more to go but STRESS really has been my downfall. Sick husband, sick daughter BUT I am going to do it this year!!!!!!! Thank you for being part of my journey!
So proud of you, despite all your challenges, for taking the plunge! The e-books should be PDFS so they should be able to open in any computer just by double clicking on them. You could likely open them on a phone or tablet as well.
Going WFPB did the following: I lost more weight than I'll admit to. I was able to stop taking insulin (T2D) and Trulicity and cut the Metformin dose in half while lowering a1c from over 8 to around 5. I cut my thyroid dosage in half. Every single blood marker has improved, a1c, cholesterol, inflammation markers, all of it. By incorporating high anti-inflammation foods I was able to stay on the minimum dose of methotrexate for my RA. I was completely pain free (I used to need a walker at times). I was exercising and gardening. Moved 2500 pounds of river rock 200 feet by myself in a day. That sort of thing.
Due to stuff I went off the wagon and I'm kind of feeling cr@ppy. I can't wait to get back on.
Make sure you're getting Vitamin B12-it is absolutely crucial. I will plug Dr. Greger's channel, it was instrumental for me. www.youtube.com/@NutritionFactsOrg
Happy New Year and good health to all!
This is amazing! What a journey you had! You've got the knowledge to get back to it! Thank for plugging Greger's channel :)
Sheryl, North Carolina. I had tried to become vegan since I was 45. Until my husband passed I was unable to sustain this lifestyle. Dr Campbell's China Study is what pushed me over the edge. I feel better and have more energy. The last few years zi have been 100% vegan with no sos
Great job! Sorry to hear about your husband.
Two weeks doing it for Health, Animals and Environment 🥰.
How's it going????
I started as a vegetarian about 4 months ago. 8-9 weeks ago I changed to WFPB SOS. However, I do use a little salt. No oil, no sugar, no animal products. I chose to do it because I just feel better. Also, trying to get off blood pressure medicine. But when I look at the condition of our SAD and how animals are actually treated when processing, I got rather disgusted. So, here I am. Plant Based Vegan, no oil and no sugar. I’m in Hollister, California.
Congrats on making the shift! I'm so glad you're feeling better. We still use a little salt, but we're largely oil free.
Oooh…why is veganuary important to me?
I’m trying to get back to my veggie ways, and this time plant based.
I became lacto veg in 1980, and about 10 years ago reverted to occasional omnivore, and I don’t want that in my life.
I’m using it as a daily habit reinforcement to go along with daily exercise, including my lonely hula hoop!
I’m also cooking more lunches, because that is where I’ll opt for convenience.
Hello, and thanks for what you do from Colorado.
I'm picturing you with that lonely hula hoop that is so happy to have you in it's life :)
Cathy from Uxbridge, MA - my why is to reclaim my health.
The best reason!
Thanks Jeremy for this video. I needed a boost. I have been struggling on weight and diabetes for a number of years and then had kidney failure. Diet has been confusing to say the least. My urologist says Plant based but still wants me to eat meat. Six oz. per day limited to chicken breast, turkey breast, and fish. Doing ok with that part. Some days I only do two or three oz. and that is getting more often. Part of my struggle is the fact that I am allergic to nightshades. I really appreciate you and your family for all of the pep talks. Please keep them coming.
I would ask if you can stick to just fish. Why would he want you to eat meat?
No red meat just poultry, has to do with the purin in the meat, which causes uric acid which turns to stones. I don't know if this will change in time or not. Have one that has to be surgically removed.@@michelletulumello661
Thanks - I'm also confused what your urologist says you need from meat that you can't get from plants. Glad to be a small part of your journey! There' so much abundance in the plant-based world, no reason you can't have delicious meals without nightshade veggies!
I'm not sure but I think he doesn't want me change every thing to fast. Time will tell all. As far as the night shades go it is a bit hard to not get in a place where I seem to be eating the same thing every day.@@pbwithjeremy
Been a vegetarian for 38 years. Trying to make that transition! My husband and I just watched "You Are What You Eat." This is the closest he has ever been to giving up meat! Im trying to capitalize on this before the impact fades. Vegetarianism is so natural for me. Veganism has a MUCH STEEPER learning curve right off the bat. Rather than starting to "eat like a vegan", 100 or nothing, I'm trying to try to cut stuff out a little at a time while introducing new foods into the diet! Fingers crossed!
Capitalize!!!! But make him realize how TASTY it is. My website is full of recipes you'll both love. Make him the nachos. He won't go back :) pbwithj.ca/
Thank you Jeremy for this video. I have been trying to do WFPB for the past year, but my family is not on board. I am praying my whole family will do Veganuary. I am doing this to loose weight, be healthy and get my daughter healthy. I am 48 and have already lost 60lbs being mostly WFPB but need to loose another 100. I am praying if I can go all in I can get rid of pain in body too.
❤
It certainly helps to get the family involved - anyway you can motivate/challenge them to try? Something to do as a family?!
I’ve gone Vegan multiple times in the past. Cold veggie. Dove in excitedly! My body feels and looks the best on a WFPB diet. Every time I’ve gone back to a SAD, I’ve suffered for it. Just stocked the fridge and have some fun recipes to try. I really want to maintain this lifestyle for my health, my family, and the planet (animals are friends not food and I always feel guilty eating animal products 😢). I’m ready for Veganuary and beyond 🙌🖤✌️
You've got this!!!! Here's to a healthy 2024!
Hi from Wisconsin. I have been doing vegan mostly on for the last 8 months for health issues that have come up.
How's it going???
I went vegan wfpb 2 1/2 years ago. My process was like Mark Bitman’s cookbook V B4 6. 3 years ago I was told I would need med for high cholesterol and I said I would look for a natural way. I got covid then while sick I did research. WFPB kept coming up. I’m a decent home cook so I knew I could do this. I ate that way for breakfast and lunch then reg SAD diet for dinner. My cholesterol became perfect in 6 months then since I loved eating WFPB I began eating vegan full time💃 RUclips was my biggest source for ideas and inspiration. BTW I just love your channel‼️ keep up the good work‼️
Congrats! What a story! So glad you decided to use real food as your medicine!
For me, it was a throw-away comment by my cardiologist. I was emphatically told to stop using calcium supplements, and, sure enough, I had just been diagnosed with osteopenia. I asked him about that and where I was to get that calcium because one could only drink so much milk. All he said was that broccoli has a lot of calcium (WTF???). I already knew that, but my understanding of the whole shebang was quite old (vegetable sources of nutrients were not easily absorbed). So...research. The big challenge was sifting through all that blasted noise surrounding nutrition. Plant Chompers helped with that. I found others that helped sift through and judge the efficacy of studies. All this led me to veganism and a new framework for nutrition. I actually did not run across you until after I had lost a lot weight to the point where I was getting scarily low (lower than 20 BMI). More research...
The benefits for me go far beyond weight loss, although that is certainly linked to the whole problem of "premature ventricular contractions (PVP)" in my heart (seriously scary bad) and a history of Diabetes 2. It also included losing the ability to walk without pain and age-related muscle atrophy (I am staring at 71), and a woman which complicates that last issue. Besides losing all that weight, I am now back to my old hiking gait, usually walk about 7,000 to 10,000 steps a day, regaining muscle strength, no more PVP, my mind is clearer and sharper, and generally feel as if I shed 20 years of aging along with that scary amount of weight. Will I ever leave behind WFPB? Hell no. I am here to stay.
For those of you out there that are struggling with this AND feeding a family, I feel for you. My life is easier in that I am the only one I have to feed, and I can be as weird as I want. Hot sauce in my morning oat/fruit/cauliflower bowl? Yes! On the other hand, my sons are grown and gone and I miss them as well as having a family around to rely on. Thank goodness for the internet.
Like you have stated about yourself. Nutrition was my first and primary motivation. Learning about how all the environmental considerations, is icing on that cake. Animal activism comes in as the last component and my reasons are complicated. I am also deeply angry at how we've all been so horribly manipulated and damaged by corporate food industry for my whole life.
Thank you for sharing your story here with everyone! So glad you're in our community. You got this!
I really enjoy your channel. The cookbook reviews are my favorite part.

Thank you!
I'm looking for ways to improve my own health and becoming a healthy example for my family. Thanks for your content.
You're welcome and you got this!
New to your channel it’s so informative!! Started my journey November 2023. I am from Cleveland Ohio Thank you 😊
Welcome Patty!
Thank you so much for this. I have my Why, but was apprehensive about 'starting'. This helped SO much. You answered all the questions I had, that were holding me back from taking the plunge. Off to binge watch your other uploads now, starting with the plant based Vs vegan one you mentioned in this upload. 😊
So glad you found your Why!
I love wfpb but somehow got derailed and just couldn’t do anymore same old stuff. Got sick, go figure, now fighting flu and wanting my veggies back! Grandson came to live with grandma and just needs his Bologna sandwiches so I always keeps some mock tuna for me. That’s what happened. I told him up front it was a veggie home, I guess I should have stood firm. I can’t loose weight. I yoyo around 230. That’s not good for a 5’4” granny of 70. Don’t understand why everyone else looses and I don’t. Here to starting again this month!
A lovely grandma! There's lots of mockmeats out there that might satisfy him - if not he'll get used to it :)
Fat is HARD to lose, especially as we age - and while diet can play a major role, what's really important is that you build muscle in any way you can. I would look for some videos about building muscles for seniors and do what you're able to. Muscle helps burn fat, so the more you have the more fat you'll lose. Focus on that!
Energy levels were an issue, initially. It is common to "feel like crap" for the first couple of weeks - it is called detox. Stick with it! You will begin to feel AMAZING by the end of thirty days!!!
Here here!!!!
Just came actually your video and I’m so glad. Thanks. Eden from Canada ❤
Hi Eden! Welcome! Where in Canada?
Absolutely add that shirt!! I want to wear it to my in-laws !!

Great tips, Jerry. Loved the video. I just started transitioning to WFPB in late December.
Congrats on making the change!
Kerri from Australia we love you ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Kerri!
Excellent video, Jeremy! XOXOXO
And feel better
I became interested in WFPB via Dr.Gregor in regards to Diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular health and became intrigued. It just grew from there, especially as my husband already has one stent and generalized PVD. The rest is history as our pantry and refrig now look more WFPB than not, and he is now choosing vegan rather than meat based. We’re actually feeling better and healthier than when we started a year ago. Thank you for your inspiration and sharing your knowledge and journey. lauNa from Ludington Michigan. Ludington is a tourist destination midway up the Lake Michigan shore. I dream of having a vegan cafe/restaurant here.
Do you eat greens several times a day? Very helpful for CVD according to Dr. Esselstyn.
What would you serve in your cafe????
@@pbwithjeremy the first thing that comes to mind is a selection of grains, veg, beans, seeds, crunchy tofu and a selection of sauces to be able to make up a custom order for a Buddha bowl. Wraps with the same sort of selections with a selection of sauces. Soups and nice creams. For snacks we could have pita or wrap chips (seasoned and plain) and dips. Breakfast or snack could be overnight oats with fruit, fruit bowls with cashew cream or a lovely flavor of creamy silken tofu cream. Then there’s the whole pasta genre to explore. It’s been a challenge to change my vision of a lunch or dinner plate after 70+ years of being an omnivore (except for a few years when I got into. Yoga in my youth and did vegetarian in the 60s) . . . That changed with #1 marriage. Thank you for asking. I may think of more when it’s not time for me to sleep. 🙂
@@dianeladico1769 Oh yes, that’s when things started to get better, especially with his ‘’daily dozen’’
You are a great human Jeremy.
Thank you!
Michelle from Charleston, SC - been WFPB for 3 years but have sadly let too much vegan junk into my diet and gained back quite a bit of weight. 😢 need to refocus and get back on track!
Me too - let's do it together in Jan!
Some great adventures ce there 👍👍👍
I really need to try and start this lifestyle because my health is not going good and dont want any more meds 🤗
You got this!
Thank you for your channel. You’re helping more people than you realize. 🎉
I appreciate that! Thank you so much :)
Hi Jeremy! Really enjoying your channel! I am a pathologist and started doing more whole food/plant based a couple of months ago in an attempt to get my cholesterol down without taking a statin. Wouldn't you know it: it is down to *just* above normal (and I anticipate it will continue as I move forward). I am planning on making the new year as plant-based as possible. Really appreciate the information you provide! Cheers!
Thank you for sharing this! That's incredible!!! And I love it when I hear people who work in the medical field discovering what simply eating cleaner can do for your health to aid in all the other things you do. Here's to a healthier future to you!!!
@@pbwithjeremy Thank YOU! Looking forward to a healthier 2024 with you guiding the way!
Happy to have you in our community!@@bpavlovitz
How lucky am I to have found your youtube 'station'. I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years but the wfpb world seems to suit my choices and lifestyle even better.
I have anjoyed all of your and your family's programs and look forward to working toward more wfpb living as 2024 begins.
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm, humour and knowledge.

Howdy neighbour! Excited that you're taking your healthy game and kicking it up a notch! You got this!
Yes please love the t shirt phrase!
You can get it here :) pbwithj.myshopify.com/
Thank you Jeramy for another wonderful video and information! I’m going into heading into the world of veganuary for my health. Lisa from Omaha, Nebraska
You've got this!!!
Love your channel down to earth no crazy ingredients. Bummed I missed out on the Thrive Bundle hopefully I can catch it next year
Thank you! You can still get it - it's just not quite the discount it was a few weeks back. I think there's going to be a new one this summer - they tend to do it twice a year I believe... so stand by for it :)
I went hfpb-macrobiotic in the early 80s. Read the McDougall Plan, and eventually found myself back on dairy, sick again, and having gained a lot of weight. Mom died from colon cancer, and I knew that I had to eat a high fiber diet and eliminate dairy. It wasn't easy, as you all know, but today, I am about 100 lbs less than my highest weight, and as ling as I stay 100% hfpb-starchavore-no oil, avoid salt and refined sugar, I am ok. As soon as I have some salt, I am bloated, and ny joints hurt, and get deformed. It's not worth it. Plus, I love the food. Thank you , Dr. McDougall.
What a journey - thank you for sharing!
Hi, Aaron from Durham, UK here. I wish I could say that I’ve come to veganuary because of the animals, but what has finally gave me the kick up the ar*e is my health. I need to get my blood pressure and weight under control because I’ve discovered a big family history of heart issues and diabetes so I want to get ahead of it. Also I’m training to be a nurse so I feel like I should set an example of living more healthily. I’ve got another 40+ years on this planet, so I had better look after myself and the world around me - so veganism just makes sense.
Other things are;
1) I love cooking, so this will open a whole new world of recipes to me.
2) I love animals, so this is me stop being a hypocrite and actually acting on my empathy.
3) I genuinely love the taste of fruit and vegetables anyway, so why not embrace the flavour.
4) I just feel lighter and more energised when I’m eating well.
5) I’m interested in how mindfulness, wellness, spirituality, ethical living, etc all links together so I can look after my mind, body, and spirit.
So, I’m going to make a concerted effort to stick it out, and enjoy embracing a more healthful and guilt-free lifestyle ☺️
LOVE all of this! I came to this from health as well but it sounds like you're connected to all of those other things as well! And so excited to know we've got a future plant-based nurse here! Congrats for taking this step for your health!
Loved this! 🎉
Hi Jeremy. I'm from Southern California, Oceanside specifically. Love your videos. Your kids are awesome!
Hi Jill!
Hi Jeremy.
I’ve been vegetarian since 1996. Did mostly wfpb for 3 months last year and lost 15 lbs and reduced my cholesterol. Trying to get back into that in the new year
You got this!!!!
Great tips Jeremy, will share for sure!❤
Love your channel and your sense of humor. I've been trying to go WFPB for quite some time. You have inspired me to experiment with food and I think I am finally ready to give up my eggs and cheese. I like that you do swaps for different things.
Oh wow - so happy to be a small part in your journey!!! You got this!!!
My Why... I was told by my doctor that I will need to reduce my cholesterol or go on medication. I have eaten "clean" my whole life. I have been dairy free for 20 years, so the only thing contributing to cholesterol other than my body, is meat. I am not overweight, could stand to lose 15 pounds, but I am at a normal weight range. So I chose to go WFPB for my health!
That's a great why!
Hello from Texas! I have completely reversed diabetes in the past going vegan. I fell off the wagon for a while but I’m back into veganism 100%!! I went cold turkey. I feel so much better, and have more energy. I am aware that it will take 3 months to see a difference in my A1C but I know I will. I got blood work back and cholesterol was up, triglycerides sky high. Going vegan, Im hoping to lower both!! Thank you so much for this video!!
My pleasure. You've got this. Keep us posted on your result!
Hello Jeremy. I'm Tree from Sudbury, Ontario. How did I not know your channel existed?! I've been vegan 20 years this year and, like you I try to eat WFPB. I regularly search for and subscribe to great content like yours. I love that you are kind and genuinely want to help folks, whether they are vegan or not. This veganuary video is spot-on! Thanks for making it! 🖖
Hey Tree! Welcome to the channel - did you see I did a video of my vegan adventures in Sudbury??? And my pleasure! Thanks for watching :)
@@pbwithjeremyIt took me a bit to find the video - you have a lot of content! Anyway, I never would have thought of Sudbury as a vegan dining destination, but I do enjoy all of those restaurants and now we have a WFPB one! Take care.
Shout out to Florida! Love your channel ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Hi, Mary Ann from Coventry CT. Back to basics to get healthier, that's why I'm here 🎉
Wonderful!
Hi Jeremy! I live in the Treasure Valley, in beautiful Idaho. I didn't know that I had Metabolic Syndrome until I was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in 2020. I stopped drinking alcohol and changed my diet and I try very hard to avoid products that come in a bag, box or a can. I choose minimally processed foods with the fewest ingredients.
My doctor put me on a WFPB diet last year and I have done pretty good except for cheese. I'm working on it though!
I like Mexican food a lot, so I found it real easy to cook it vegan style. As a matter of fact, when I search for a recipe, I always add the word vegan or vegetarian.
I have that too! Not the liver cirrhosis, at least I dont think so, but the metabolic syndrome.
LOVE that your doctor knew enough to suggest WFPB - good for them!!! (and you!)
Be careful of store bought vegan cheese. Its the ultimate vegan processed food. Check the fat content. The kinds I have seen sold commercially are like 30% saturated fat, which is probably almost as bad as regular cheese. I find avacado or guacamole to be a good substitute on my mexican food. At least then, you are increasing the HDL instead of the LDL. In general, I find using traditional stuff that's intended to be vegan to produce better results. There is a guy on here I love, with a channel - I think it's called Spain on a fork, who makes all these traditional vegan recipes. He has some fish stuff too, but the vegan stuff is in a separate playlist.
Another great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, Jeremy!!
My pleasure!
Perfect! I started veganuary cooking from the current issue of forks over knives magazine, was eating substantially more than I was used to, I actually felt gluttonous tbh. Days 3-5 I felt terrible! And my stomach was so loud and wouldn’t shut up! I typed in the recipes into cronometer and quickly realized I was substantially under eating! Only 1000 cals per day on average even though I was eating a lot of volume. I’ve adjusted my meals and recipes so now I’m doing fine but man it was a little frustrating. Idk why they don’t give calorie information on their recipes, I could have avoided all that lol thanks for the video and the tips!
I think they avoid the calories because they want people to eat intuitively and until they're full rather than following math. Do you find you've got lots of energy now?
@@pbwithjeremy I totally get that, it doesn’t work for those who have smaller stomachs tho 😅 I have a lot more energy now, I incorporated more calorie dense plant foods which is helping a ton
Oh good!!!
This sounds perfect! 🤗🤗🤗
Yay, thank you!
Hi my name is Adrian. I'm from Texas. I love this video of yours. You are so natural. I want to do this but my budget is suffering. My problem is, that l need to do this but everyone that shares things, it cost. Don't get me wrong, nothing in this world is free. I get that!!!! But I'm on board with everything you have said, but in order to received the proper info, the best way to do this, get really healthy recipes, l have to buy the info. So going into 2024, l have a serious health need. I need to do this, but l cannot afford it being on a fixed income. I loved loved your video. Thank you
Hey Adrian! Going vegan can fit into your budget - you don't need to buy any kind of program. There's so many free resources out there including this YT channel and my website pbwithj.ca with lots of free recipes. See if this video helps: ruclips.net/video/ejDPO4biZbI/видео.html
