It has been two years since we started this weight loss adventure and just over one year since we started Krocks In The Kitchen. We've had a lot of new subscribers join our little community recently and we thought it was time for a bit of a recap!
We started back in 2018 with a two week potato diet and then switched immediately to a whole food, plant-based / vegan diet, mainly following the guidelines from the book Eat To Live. We realize it can be difficult to dig through a year's worth of videos, so hopefully this video and blog post will answer some of your questions and direct you towards additional videos with more information!

I always say that I hope my husband looks at me the way Brian looks at Jessica.

@davcar23 4 года назад

I can honestly say that if it wasn't for the 2 weeks of potatoes I would have not been able to start a whole plant based diet. The two weeks of potatoes did two things in me, 1st it cleared my taste buds of all the fat, sugar and salt so I could start eating something new; and 2nd it made me really hungry for something other than potatoes.

@mlwelter 4 года назад

It sounds tough and truly amazing that we can perhaps be reprogrammed in 2 weeks. I've had this info for a long long time and havent done it... may finally start soon!

@AL-cg4vb 4 года назад

If your hubby is as compassionate as mine definitely look into the planetary effects of animal based diets (aka global starvation, species extinction, environmental/employment racism and dietary racism, animals, especially animals. Vegan for the win!!) all it took was one honest conversation and he understood immediately and had to make a change

@calliechristine6921 4 года назад

I’m lost for words right now.. I was recommended your 2 week potato diet video right after binge watching penn and teller magic videos, and clicked this video afterwards and I must say I teared up because I’m so inspired by seeing both of your transformations ...just wow

@KrocksInTheKitchen 4 года назад

Wow! Thank you so much! Penn was a huge inspiration to us when it came to getting started on this path! 😀

@missy3240 4 года назад

I am an old subscriber and I loved this video! The outtakes were fun! I always kind of assume you guys just knock it out perfectly :) When Jessica said her current weight is 150 pounds I felt like crying and happiness for her. You guys have done so amazingly well. I know I don’t actually know you… but I still feel proud for you! Congratulations once again on your continued success.

@ladybugblue 2 года назад

Are you both happy with choosing the diet that you have ? I tried eating alot of meat instead of plants, for various reasons, especially my extreme osteoporosis, plant toxins of oxalates,etc. bad digestive issues. But my constipation became way worse and didn't improve after 5 months. I am now trying once again to see what I can eat without bloating and constipation, also due to compressed fractured spine. I have gotten my bowels to work some better and softened up stools too. I just can't eat enough calories and I can't afford my osteoporosis to continue to go down hill. Dr.s on plant based are skinny, while carnivore Dr.'s are buff. They both claim their way of eating is scientifically correct. I have alot of physical issues to correct that is really hard. Thanks for your sharing with us all. I've watched your videos from the beginning I think

@veganmamafourgirls5370 4 года назад

I just finished my oatmeal for breakfast while watching this great video and remembered that it was inspired by you. I mashed the banana into it and topped it with unsweetened soymilk chia and fresh berries. I had never tried mashing the banana into the oats before, but it is a true game changer for me. It makes the oatmeal taste so much sweeter and more delicious in each bite. Thank you!

@nebraskanwife6344 4 года назад

I've been lurking on your channel for a while. I finally decided to start having a more plant based diet. It has really helped so far, and I love your quirky encouragement! I appreciate your authentic personalities.

@monicarodriguez2017 4 года назад

Yay! Thanks so much for the great content! I'm a newer sub, and I'm loving catching up on your content. I took your advice and did not do 2wks of potatoes, instead, I'm on day 3 of a Mary's Mini to get started. Thanks so much for sharing, you are such an inspiration 🖖

@marisajonassaint1871 4 года назад

Hi! Going to kick back, fold laundry, cook (heat up food) and watch this! Thanks!❣️ I’m not new here! I do love to hear what you guys have to say! I’m just 3 days in, again, taking this whole thing very seriously. I started by making your Chili, Brian. So I have that and steamed potatoes batch prepped! 🎉 I don’t ask questions here but love to get the info! You both look truly amazing! At first I was feeling intimidated, like I cannot accomplish what they have! 😢 But I’m working on it. Wish I had a sponsor or something of the sort to bounce off life experiences on this lifestyle with! Do you know of anything like that? ❣️

@Carcarfranklin 4 года назад

You don’t have to stop talking about potatoes. I had a mashed potato bowl this morning with zucchini and mushrooms. So yum.

@doyletronic 4 года назад

Maybe not Brian's fav, but refreshing to me, normally you two always make this look like one and done, nice to know you have those days as well.

@judybalsarotti9608 Год назад

I have been following you since just before your diagnosis- what a journey you have been through. First learned in your videos that you are from St.Louis then in a video I recently said something about Old Orchard- I lived in Webster Groves - at Big Bend and Catalina and graduated from Nerinx! I keep hoping I will run into you and could meet you both! How inspirational are both your medical journey but also your weight lose journey!

@patwhite8741 4 года назад

Love seeing the outtakes - ok Brian, no more comments about your wife!! Keep up the awesome videos!

I'm so glad I found your channel! I am really just beginning my WFPB 'adventure' and I'm learning so much from you two. Ty Ty Ty for sharing!!

@SummatllTurnUp 4 года назад

New follower 🙋‍♀️ and loving your channel. I live in Cyprus and our choice of potatoes are clean or dirty 🤣 they grow them here in the east coast and we have amazing red soil which produces great potatoes. We can get sweet potatoes too and tubs of tiny new ones, imported, but that's all 🤷‍♀️ and the local ones are MASSIVE you could get 4 portions from one! My daughter is going to Uni in UK this year and couldn't believe when I told her there are choices she just thought what we had was the definitive potato lol 😏

@EnjoyingLifeMelanie 4 года назад

Just subscribed. You two are adorable. I love the interaction between the two of you. Keep strong. I'm thinking you may have inspired me. :)

#QUESTION: Did you clean your pantry out of all the things that you would not be using in the future and find a new home for them? Example; sugar, oils and salt.

@dorothywest7991 4 года назад

Thank you for sharing this. Very helpful! I really prefer this format where you answer questions that you prepared, much more than the live Q&A which, is difficult to follow.

@trishc.4913 4 года назад

Hi Brian and Jessica! I just started watching your channel last week. You inspired me to try your vegan plan but not crazy perfect. Thank you for doing the channel! I have a challenge for Brian and Jessica! Can you try to make a easy recipe for tofu stir fry with cashews??? Not too spicy. Hope you will try it! I would love a recipe. You both are so sincere which is great to watch. PS: My 2 inch tall Snoopy from my grandson says hi to Peef. Life needs whimsy. Best to you both, Grandma Trish

@kchasehenson57 4 года назад

This is the second video I've watched. I just watched the squash casserole and then I saw this one and decided to check it out since I'm a new subscriber. I'm so happy for y'all. I know you both have got to be feeling so much better than before you did this life style change. My son and I do very low carb and it works for us very well. I love coming up with new recipes and they are delicious so that helps a lot. Keep up the great job and thank you for sharing your journey. It's always inspiring to see successful people. It helps show us we can. God's abundant love, blessings and protection on you and your family I hope you see the comment I left on the Squash casserole video. It's asking about your mom's squash casserole recipe. I know what I'm looking for isn't low carb but every once in a while we do a cheat day and that's one thing I'm wanting to make. Please check it out and comment back to me. Thank you 💜👍😎

Finally got off the waitlist for our preferred CSA, looking forward to fresh organic veg every week. Don’t have to depend on my husband to pick up/think of produce. Whew. We’ll be following your recipes as much as possible. Very excited to get more fresh veg back into our lives. (Bit tired of cabbage tbh)

#QUESTION Hi Krocks, love your videos. Curious if you could comment on green smoothies? Do you ever sub a meal or two with a green smoothie? If no, why not? If yes, what's your recipe and how often do you have smoothies? Also, have you noticed any differences or improvements to your sleep cycle and quality of sleep since going WFPB? Thanks in advance! Can't wait for your next video 😘

@peterbassel6888 4 года назад

Just saw your Super Smoky Oil Free Hummus from March 2019, OMG you guys have done so well since then and lost soooo much weight. Well done. I know that is just two points along your continuums but I just had to congratulate you. Keep up all the good work. I like many of us, am on my own journey from the impacts of our past over indulgences. I'm in my 50s and I'm now lower than I was in Uni but I suspect I should take off 30-40lbs more to get to an ideal weight. Keep up the great work and the great videos. You are an inspiration to us all on so many levels. Off for my 12KM Covid-19 walk, now ;-) ! All the best.

@martha_s 4 года назад

How did you get through a whole 15 minute recap without talking about the Healthspan Solution? I'm shocked! Hahaha... (I saw it on the screen in the shot of your featured products, though.) Loved the outtakes. More of those, please, always.

@anng.r.687 4 года назад

#QUESTION (It’s really a comment or suggestion). I think you should cover in a separate question why NO OIL is a key factor in eating this way. You know it , and I know it, but it wasn’t mentioned in an overview for beginners. Mention all the hidden places that are contaminated with oil like Tortillas, bread, cereals, etc. I’ve been eating this way for 4 yrs., and my cholesterol went from 203 to 135 after taking out ALL OIL.

@kae7131 4 года назад

#QUESTION Do you have tips for fridge organization? Since you don’t have butter or gallons of milk..how do you use that extra space? My family is not WFPB so I have those things, PLUS my crisper drawers are overflowing and it’s hard finding ways to store my leftovers for reheating. I use the Pyrex bowls as well:) I guess I think a fridge tour would be a good video! Thanks for ALL you do!! I’ve watched all your videos but still enjoyed this one!

@rupeinspections5611 4 года назад

Hi, My name is Joseph and I just watched your show with my wife Kathy about the two of you going to Olive Garden. She has watch many of your videos and now doing the plant base diet like the two of you are doing except for eating the potatoes for two weeks. I sometimes like having a pizza when I work out of the area. I usually go to a place called Pieology Pizzeria. I was wondering if you could give me some suggesting for this. My wife and I enjoy watching all of your videos and congratulations to the both of you for losing so much weight. Thanks for posting all of your recipes.

@michaelanderson6456 4 года назад

As I've heard you mention on a few of your post, I know you dont exercise(only walks in the parks), nor do you count calories as a rule; However in my personal adventuress momens, I will recreate a recipe (often classic found in world wide cuisine from relatives passed down /religious pre-fast/fast [fluids]/breakfast) or a well known favorites....and turn these recipes into Whole Plant Base Food...as I create (using my Reseaech & Develope background that started in 1964 as a young boy, which was over 56 years ago ...working to perfect my grandma & grandpa's diner in glendale..we worked around the Salad dressing/ Table condiment Sauce/Gravy's & thickened Flavor-Aid) all healthy,all basically a must for the psychy in order to add and increase higher quality's illcuisine...Heres my question..out habit, do you Pre-write your calories you ingested in a day...in comparison chart...I need to laugh out loud... as there have been so much comparisons to calorie intake...it has become a habit that seems hard to break.... Personally I fast often in pray, aswell I often will be going along on my Whole Food Base veganism aspects ..once in awhile.. out of the habit I am offered a bit of meat, eggs, dairy(pus).. and take a bit of food without realizeing my deed;until, then its too late to have reversed the diet dirt, already...we wow ourselves at dumb moces.

Since I saw your video I read the book by Penn Teller Presto and learn about intermittent fasting, and I've lost 24lbs in this 3 months, so I think that it was you that... Inspire me to try again to lost weight, so thank you! 🤪♥️🤘🏻
