      How do you gauge how much to eat? You’ve mentioned other recipes as not conducive to weight loss (like when recipe testing), but have also said the good thing about WFPB is that you don’t need to count calories or restrict amounts. Hummus is calorie-dense so you must limit the amount, for example.
      Thank you for this video, for always being your honest selves, and for sharing all these delicious recipes!

    Brian, I totally understand. The feeling of feeling good. When I stick to my plant based eating, I feel so good. I don’t crave food anymore. I crave the feeling of eating food that is good for my body. Love you Jessica! You guys are too cute.

    Thank you guys for being so open and honest. I don't even need to lose more than 5 lbs. but I love your videos! Right now, during this pandemic, so many people are experiencing similar feelings. I think it's so important to be able to talk about it honestly. When you're able to do that it allows others to be more open with their feelings!

    Loved this! I made the chili last night. Funny story my husband has told me since we met (over 10 years ago) that he’s allergic to beans, but last year his mom called him out at dinner saying he’s not. Turns out he just doesn’t like them. He absolutely loves your chili! He tells everyone about how awesome your chili is too. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes!

    This video came at the perfect time for me. I fell off HARD just prior to lockdown and I am trying to climb back up now. It's a great reminder of all the dishes I have enjoyed in the past. Thank you both for all your hard work. ❤

  • @dianestewart893
    @dianestewart893 4 года назад +2

    You've inspired me to try again. I've been mostly vegetarian for decades but was lured into years of off-and-on Keto/Paleo, and always gained the weight back. I just couldn't get into cooking since my husband died. I'm 67, and the older you get, the harder it is to lose weight. But, I'm making progress. I went off the wagon over Thanksgiving, but weighed myself this morning, and am thrilled that I hadn't gained any weight! Christmas time may be another story, but I'll keep at it. Thanks for being real about the ups and downs.

    I loved this video and just want to say how much I loved the chili! I made it for some friends and we all loved it. Even my friend who claimed not to be a chili fan... I was suspicious of the Cinnamon in a chili, but it wasn’t overpowering and added a lot of flavor. I’ll be using this again. Also, with the salad, I never thought of using hummus for salad dressing... way good. Thanks so much for making these delicious recipes and sharing them.

  • @gelbsucht947
    @gelbsucht947 4 года назад +4

    Quite honestly, I think five different dishes in a week is pretty good for people with jobs, families and busy lives who are not professional chefs, and as long as you’re eating plants, it doesn’t matter too much which ones. People living in areas of the world with large numbers of centenarians usually have diets that consist principally of fresh and locally grown produce but are not necessarily particularly varied. Herbs and spices are what turn potentially bland mush into a party in your mouth, as opposed to the oil, salt and sugar we can get so hooked on.

  • @marjoriebouwens6000
    @marjoriebouwens6000 4 года назад +2

    Thank you for being real. This year has not been a great one for my eating habits. I have actually begun craving veggies and salad the past couple of days. I appreciate that you let us see your imperfections. It really is encouraging. I agree. Start today. I have oatmeal in the house for breakfast. Then I'll shop for more healthy food after checking out some of your recipes to know what ingredients I need. Thanks again. Merry Christmas!

    Thank you this is motivation 😻, After losing over 50kg /100lbs in 5 months I realized When it comes to weight-loss so many people want quick results so they easily give up. When you gained all that weight, it didn't happen over night . its the same when losing your weight. Never give up. Stick to your goal and Be Patient with yourself 🔥🔥🔥

    I totally agree with you guys about starting now and not waiting till jan 1. This gives me the ability to get revved up and fine tuned and a head start on my plan of attack so when new years rolls around I already have momentum. Its really key for me in the long winter.

  • @elbrooks
    @elbrooks 4 года назад +1

    Thanks for sharing, as always, and your honesty. We all have these periodic struggles and need to reset. As in ME! My GF isn’t WFPB no-oil but I do all the cooking so she cheerfully eats what I give her. EVERYTIME I try out one of Brian’s recipes she raves about how much she likes it. So, we’ll be jumping on to the sensible lunch and big salad for dinner train again. :)

    Can you talk about some of the challenges that have kept you from losing weight. Like more than refined carbs or added fat in food. I know I binge hard. Like I can house 2,000+ calories to my face during a late night snack. Your Potato diet videos from 2 years ago have help me a lot to deal with that. It would be nice to hear what some of your struggles have been.

      May I share what some of my obstacles are? I fall prey to the vegan processed food marketing. I fall down the hole of processed faux cheeze and faux meatz. Then I binge on sweet vegan baked items.... it gets real bad and I wake up feeling like mud.

    I hate salad. Anytime I start a diet that requires me to eat salad I stick to it about 2 days (maybe 3). However, I love soup! One cookbook gave a definition of soup: a cooked salad. (c: I have soup every day, sometimes twice a day. One of them is very brothy (as opposed to creamy), and I always put a big handful of spinach in the bowl before adding the soup. So far, it's working for me.

    Thank you for posting -- Kale and Bean stew is also a good option -- I make it a "chili" with the spices -- but I tend to add more veg like broccoli/cauliflower/etc AND NO potatoes/corn

    I’m restarting this plan also. Thank you for the inspiration. I found I had a couple of big bowls of Weird Orange soup in the freezer. It tastes wonderful and my husband loves it. It was so quick to prepare. I will definitely be batch cooking the soups and freezing them. I also like to make the chocolate banana nice cream into popsicles.
