HOW I LOST 100 POUNDS - My Weight loss Journey (WFPB, Vegan)

[@mimibuckles]

So much wisdom here. I’ve been WFPB for quite some time finally facing a recent weight gain head on. It may only be 8 lbs but on my small frame it notice it. I had to store a whole bunch of clothes last fall and buy new pants. Now I’m ready to do something It’s easy to get discouraged that I’m having a hard time maintaining and post menopause seems like weight loss is super slow despite being pretty active and minding my fat portions (which are my downfall I LOVE avocado, seeds, nuts, tahini, olives,etc.) i needed this reminder about it being about the process and sustainability. It helps SO MUCH being around my people. People who care about their health and are embracing a sustainable nutritient dense active lifestyle. Thanks Jeremy and Shauné! And everyone else for being here. 🥦💪 I’m feeling OK after watching bunch of these interviews with this being a lifelong journey for me. I want to be able to eat whatever I want whenever(and fortunately I CRAVE oatmeal and veggies and lentil wraps and have NO interest in processed foods or sugar AT ALL after eating this way for decades) but some things I’m having to track more carefully right now. I feel less alone and frustrated when I watch these. I need support right now now.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Agreed!

[@theshaunelife]

Thank you so much!

[@jeanniblume]

I loved hearing both of you talk about navigating around your family’s different food choices. I really want to do the Food for Life course and pursue a career in WFPB world but I’m not sure what that would look like. 😊

[@pbwithjeremy]

You should! Lots of options out there - what would you want to do?

[@theshaunelife]

Happy to answer any questions you have about the food for life program or even taking a Rouxbe class!

[@lynn8524]

Great interview! What a beautiful lady with a gorgeous smile!

[@mistymccammon4741]

Thanks!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Oh wow - thank you for the generous tip!!! Much appreciated!

[@Weatemilly]

You can boil tofu in salted water instead of pressing. Or bake thr moisture away and use in recipe.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Never tried that. Sounds like it’s not any faster than pressing though…

[@Marilyn7733]

Hi Jeremy, great interview with Shaune. The passion and enthusiasm you both have for this lifestyle is so evident. Enjoyed listening about her journey through weight loss, improved health, and now her mission to help others. Impressed with how many courses the two of you have completed! Btw, is there a mid-range price chef knife you would recommend? I need one. Thanks!

[@pbwithjeremy]

I put a link to one in the description below!! Good quality and affordable.

[@Marilyn7733]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@theshaunelife]

Thank you so much!

[@mendescat]

Hi, Jeremy! I watched the video today as it was 9 pm on this side of the world when it started. Very good interview! I've been plant based for almost 3 years and I find that your videos are sometimes focused on beginners and I don't learn new things, however I still struggle with using aquafaba, I keep it in the fridge and let it go bad constantly so good tip on the coating to add seasonings! It could be a video idea, how to use aquafaba in an simple way (not fancy recipes). Also, I've been tracking calories/macros for a long time and at a moment I felt it was affecting my mental health, I got in an intuitive eating program and it worked to improve my relationship with food but I gained weight (I was on a vegan diet but not wfpb as I am now) and wasn't happy with that. So, I got back to tracking until now. I don't need to lose any weight but I'm having a hard time letting it go, I don't know if it's a topic of interest to many people but I would like to know how you managed that. Looking forward to your next videos!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank YOU so much for this amazing message. I love your ideas here - adding them to my list. Uses for aquafaba is a great idea. And I'm happy to hear that you think people might be interested in me talking about mental health and weight loss and my story with stopping to count calories - it was HARD. I'll do that first sure. That'll be a RAW video :) What content would be helpful for you that's less beginner? Happy to get ideas - you're full of great ones!

Great interview with Shaune! Very charming and interesting woman! Food cravings are very tough for me at times. I craved ice cream and yogurt badly. It took so much effort to NOT stop at my favorite ice cream stand in town and order pb and raspberry swirl frozen yogurt, but by the second half of summer, I was able to drive by it without stopping. So, now I crave the WFPB versions, my chocolate & peanut butter nice cream (beats the ice cream stand stuff) and my instant pot Greek soy yogurt. Thanks to many, many videos on KZbin, I got an instant pot and started making soy yogurt. I strain it to make it Greek style. It makes me soy happy 😂 It’s the best of both worlds. I get my fresh, delicious homemade yogurt which is better than any store bought yogurt and it’s dairy free! And now natural food tastes amazing. A fresh crunchy apple or carrot is so good! I love balsamic vegetables. I would like to buy an air fryer next to make vegetables and tofu, etc. Do you use your a lot? Is it worth it? Thanks for everything!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Hey Vi! Good for you for having that self control - you've got this!!!! As for the air fryer I used mine a LOT - lots of great uses - honestly - at least once or twice a day someone in our family is using it.

[@vi3472]

@@pbwithjeremy Very cool, thanks for answering my question! Well, after much thought and self deliberation 😂, I just ordered my first one on Amazon. I am so excited!! This way of eating has definitely been a journey for me. Now that I am fully committed, it’s easier, and I love it! It’s about my health, the animals and the planet, for me. There’s no going back.

[@pbwithjeremy]

You'll be very happy - it's great to reheat food too and not having to zap it in the microwave or heat up the entire oven

[@ActualOwl]

Freezing tofu and then defrosting is an easy way to reduce moisture

[@woodsy381]

I counted calories using a thick calorie counter book, paper and pen too! Along with magazine diets and many diet and exercise books. So relate.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Oh wow! Yeah - that was when there was a REAL effort in this!

[@TheDamnD_]

Same here. Goooosh ..it was stressful!!!

[@ElonWilson77]

I completed this same nutrition program. You look great and great job with weight loss 😊

[@pbwithjeremy]

How did you like it?

[@ElonWilson77]

@@pbwithjeremy I really liked it. Lots of great tips and if I’m not having a cheat meal not cooking with oil tip from that class was life saver. I still want to complete the dessert portion of the class.

[@pbwithjeremy]

So much good stuff in there :) @@ElonWilson77

[@tanyas.9688]

​@ElonWilson77 what nutrition program?

[@scotlandredd6134]

Curious about your advise regarding cooking with oils or using olive oil etc Thanks

[@pbwithjeremy]

I don’t use oil other than occasionally sesame for flavor and just a little. Any of the apparent health benefits you can get from it you can get from Whole Foods with more nutritional value.

[@leslieb6676]

I am constantly "tweaking" my eating, otherwise I will slide back to my previous bad habits. I think of myself as a work in progress. The wfpb lifestyle includes so many options and it is great not being a depriving mindset. Thanks for a great interview. ❤😂 Big Mountain is a brand and they make a soy-free tofu.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Love that! I saw that I'm in work in progress all the time :) hehehe Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@theshaunelife]

Thanks for the soy free tofu brand!

How do you become a plant forward certified nutritionalist?

[@pbwithjeremy]

She took this course: nutritionstudies.org/courses/plant-based-nutrition/

[@Sakura-zu4rz]

Food is the most powerful medicine! Moving from the ideal of being thin equals beautiful to healthiness’ beautiful. I think considering that everyone is a very different beauty, in terms of weight, in terms of size, look. I’ve noticed that women are getting skinny thinner and thinner. There’s also so much information about different diets, and overwhelming and confusing… Its good aware of a good diet is to inspire women to make changes to their diet and also their lifestyle, diet, exercise, sleep based on hormone, health, longevity, beauty as well as skin in the future.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Love all of this - thank you!

[@rphomemovies]

This is a late comment but I tried Atkins diet back in the day. It was eating meat mayonnaise and hardly any veggies and fruit. It made me so sick I could only stay on it one day! 😂

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for sharing!! Lots of people went through that same sillyness

[@jackiekitchen4860]

I have recently tried boiling it for 10 minutes!

[@marlahansen3953]

I make red lentil tofu. Super easy and versatile.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for the tip! Do you have a link or recipe that you could share??? :)

[@theshaunelife]

Nice! Gonna have to try making tofu myself.

[@amyjacob2100]

I believe Simnett Nutrition has a recipe for lentil tofu. And I think Cheap Lazy Vegan had a video on making Just Egg with mung beans. Great channels!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Agreed!

[@pbwithjeremy]

I should make a video where I stumble through it myself :)

My brother is a Chef and l had lost 50lbs on vegan diet for a year and after my brother wife passed away. He moved in with me and was cooking and fixing me meal he made l gained weight back. I feel very bad about myself. My Dr told me get off being vegan and eat meat and a vegetable. I am so Depressed 😢

[@pbwithjeremy]

No need to feel badly about yourself - the fact that you're here and talking about it means you're looking to make a change. You've got this. Is this something you can discuss with your brother in terms of him understanding that while you appreciate him wanting to cook for you, that you don't want to eat animal products?

[@JonathanHadevik]

What if you have a massive stool one day and the next day the stool is hard and hard to pass? But I feel like I have to go to the toilet and after I dont feel empty and satisfied and feel a little bloated and pass more gas that day. And the day after that I have a massive soft stool again. I eat the same whole food plant based everyday and drink a lot of water.

[@pbwithjeremy]

What kinds of foods? Is there a good balance of different whole foods voer the week or is it a lot of the same over and over?

[@JonathanHadevik]

@@pbwithjeremy lots of rolled oats, oat rice, quinoa, red lentils, nuts, nut butter, coconut milk, berries, banana, pear, chiaseeds, flaxseeds, hempseeds, proteinpowder

[@pbwithjeremy]

I noticed you didn't mention any vegetables in there.... was that an oversite - because that might be your problem right there....

[@JonathanHadevik]

@@pbwithjeremy sweet potato some days, lots of cilantro. Maybe try to add in some more vegetables!
