From Binge Eating to Plant-Based Living: My Inspiring Ongoing Journey to Wellness | WFPB Vegan

[@Plantbasedspacecase]

This was an absolute blast! Thank you so much for having me and thanks to everyone watching!!!

You're a legend! Thank you for being so open an honest and vulnerable. I know this is going to have a BIG impact on people. You are tremendous. Can't wait to bring you back on to see where you're at 4 months from now!

Keep it up girl! You've got this 💪. Thank you for sharing your story🙏. Are you familiar with Dr. Brooke Goldner? If not check her out! Her hyper nourishment smoothies have done what some would call miracles for so many people! You can totally do the smoothies along with your plant based journey!

[@yoursugabumps]

This has to be one of my favorite videos @pbwithjeremy has ever done. 😊 Honestly, quite encoraging. ❤

[@CaroAbebe]

What a beautiful, beautiful interview with a beautiful, beautiful person!

[@mistygoldstone8068]

I don't recall any plant based influencer interviewing someone in the process of losing weight. Normally, it's only when the person has reached their weight goal. This is fantastic and motivationaL. Thank you!

[@pbwithjeremy]

I'm glad glad this was helpful! I like to talk to people at all stages of their journey. I've done at least two other interviews like this since if you want to look for them on our channel :)

[@Laineyslife]

I love this because I am on this journey myself to lose 125 lbs 31 down so far in a little over a year I am 64 years old. I make what I eat in a day videos to keep myself on track my video food journal I guess that’s what I’d call it. Most people don’t understand this way of eating and I love when I find like people on KZbin.

[@kymesue9575]

I just started eating this way a month or so now and I feel I’m gaining not losing. Im not sure what I’m doing wrong. Im 66 and am wondering if it will even work for me.

[@pbwithjeremy]

It can work for anyone. What are you eating? Give "How not to Diet" a read

[@kymesue9575]

@@pbwithjeremy I eat overnight oats for breakfast, a salad or a pasta with veggies for other meals. I do drink coffee once a day but use oat type creamer. Soups, stews. I do have rice off and on. My old ways tell me pasta and rice are keeping me fat so I try not to eat much of that. I also have to eat gluten free.

[@pbwithjeremy]

It sounds like your eating is solid and clean. But you find that your weight is going up? Perhaps when it comes to the pasta and rice make sure that only 1/4 of your plate is made up of that - 1/2 your plate should be vegetables and the other 1/4 can be protein/healthy fat. On top of this try to get a solid 30-60 minutes of activity into your day. Something you enjoy - even if it's just walking at the best pace you can.@@kymesue9575

[@amyjacob2100]

You weren’t missing anything by not getting the surgery. I had it 17 years ago and “failed” at that! Lost about 65 pounds and over the years, regained about 50 of it. Plus, I needed a hernia surgery after 3 years when the stomach muscles split along the surgery line. And now I’m scheduled to get another huge hernia repair done in February 2024 due to it splitting open again! I’ve had small bowel obstruction due to the hernia as well. I wish I would have known about WFPB eating many years ago. Since July 2023 I’ve lost 20 pounds. Slow and steady wins the race. Krystal, you are so beautiful and a wonderful inspiration to the rest of us who have been in your shoes.

[@pbwithjeremy]

You have, imo, the most palatable and creative options.

[@vi3472]

Fabulous interview tonight with Krystal. So raw and honest. It’s so interesting to see someone in the middle of their weight loss journey rather than after. We can follow her and support her along her way. She’s very sweet and genuine. I’m so happy for her that she had that aha moment after spending $100.00 at the store, even though it was a very painful, rock bottom moment, because that set her on her way to health. Her fiancé sounds awesome. I hope you have her back for another interview in a few months. ❤️

[@pbwithjeremy]

I have a feeling Krystal is going to be a returning guest for SURE :)

[@cathyrichard1100]

I love this girl already and I love who you are Jeremy…you are both so authentic and compassionate. I’m so happy Krystal didn’t end up having the surgery because it brought her to where she needed to be🙌 I experienced a time similar (not with food but I do have food issues as well). I was at a place in my life that I felt I had given life my best shot and it just wasn’t going to happen for me…so I can relate. That was many years ago and due to my greatest strength “perseverance” life just keeps getting better and better🙌 and food is (mostly) in its proper place. Being prepared with the right food on hand is key…I still slack in this area🤦‍♀️

[@pbwithjeremy]

THank you for sharing this - glad you enjoyed Krystal as much as I did!!!!

[@kiml1159]

I am only 29 minutes into this interview and I had to stop and say that this is the best interview I have seen ever! Krystal is amazing! Gotta say, my favorite not-good-for-me food is barbecue chips. I could devour a whole family size bag in one sitting and that's why they are never allowed in my house! Also, my husband and I switched to WFPB during the pandemic. I wonder how many people converted during that time? That would be fun to find out. Good job Jeremy!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Isn't she amazing? What a story! So inspiring

[@MsConstantComment]

I switched to WFPB a few months before the pandemic, but the pandemic was really a blessing in disguise for me because it broke me of my restaurant habit and I got back into cooking for myself, and I had more time to go on walks since I no longer had to commute, was working from home.

[@kiml1159]

@MsConstantComment Yes, the pandemic helped because it forced us to cook and make our own food. We started after I had utilized my library's services on my Kindle. First time doing that and am so glad I did! I read the book, "What the Health". Told my husband about the book and then we watched the movie. We had been talking that we heard the experts say how the virus was worse for older and obese people so that's what got us to thinking. We ended up watching many documentaries and finding many helpful KZbin channels. We went cold tofurkey and dived right in. We have lost a combined weight of what I now weigh (130 lbs.) We are in are early 60's and wished we would've learned about this way of eating many, many years ago. I won't say it was easy because I wanted to quit several times. The food just didn't taste good. They say it takes awhile for your taste buds to acclimate to the new foods and in my case they are taking their own sweet time, because I'm still waiting after 3.5 years. We went SOS free too. That's okay, I use lots of spices and just keep eating this way. Wouldn't change back to old way for nothing. I like going shopping for clothes now! I wish everyone well on their healthy journey!

Wow our stories are very similar! I definitely was that 9 year old little girl who was in weight watchers. It's funny she mentioned Richard Simmons sweatin to the oldies because I grew up exercising to that 😂 I'm so glad for this interview because I needed that inspiration again. I would love for her to be my accountability buddy because out here as a truck driver it's a lot more complicated for me and I want to be accountable to doing more KZbin videos as well so maybe I can help her with that too. ❤

[@JonesLeFae]

Vegan ice cream and chips are probably the hardest things for me to avoid if they are in the house, but I think I have trained myself to only eat an actual serving, rather than the whole container or bag. At a restaurant is a different story though. As long as there are chips in front of me, I will keep eating them, and I always feel like I have to finish my whole plate, even if I am stuffed. That's from years of my dad telling me my dinner plate had to be as clean as if a cat licked it!

[@pbwithjeremy]

YES. I wasn't allowed to leave the table until I finished my plate - so that was - and I say this with love - bad parenting. I've gotten better at recognizing a serving - my trick is to eat slow and enjoy it - savor - take my time :) I can always have more later :)

[@wishingb5859]

I tried to do the process 5 years ago and really struggled to go low enough fat to get my weight down. But something happened recently. I ended up in the hospital 5 years later and found out that I have lost 50 pounds. Here's the thing, I didn't know that I lost anything. It was the hospital bed that told me. I had given up but stayed vegan. But I was eating processed vegan food that was not at all low fat. The problem is that my cholesterol and triglycerides were very high and my blood sugar/ A1C was very high and I may have non-alcoholic fatty liver. So, two weeks ago, they wanted to put me on insulin and statins and other things but now I am doing WFPB and succeeding and hope to lose another 50 pounds. It just feels good to be succeeding at eating the food.

LOVE this - thank you for sharing!!!

[@JonesLeFae]

I experienced that kind of worry from a very early age. I remember in 7th grade, I was at a band event at a county fair and I was afraid that they weren't going to let me on the ride, even though I wasn't even fat! I mean, I was 12 years old and probably only weighed about 110. But I was very conscious that I was "bigger" than most of my peers. Looking back at photos of myself, yea, I was a little chubby, but nothing to worry about! I think it was all about the photos I saw in magazines and on TV, and because I didn't look like those models, I thought I was fat. At age 55, I still have those same image issues. In other words, I still feel fat, even though I'm in much better health than most people I know, and not even considered "Plus size" anymore. I just have to keep telling myself that I am healthy and looking great for my age and I am doing the best I can!
