[@YiayiaJoanne]

Julie’s message to her twenty something self made me cry. She is amazing and quite an inspiration.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Agreed!

[@debby5110]

I really like your interviews Jeremy! 😃👍🏻 Thanks for sharing! 😃 Julie was very informative and had very helpful ideas too! ❤️☀️

[@emiliejoshi]

Wow! What an incredible way to start my day, Jeremy! Thank you so much for introducing us to the amazing Julie! Listening to your conversation was so helpful! Thank you!

[@pbwithjeremy]

So glad it was helpful for you!! She's fantastic :)

[@fitlizkitchen]

I love this. Julie, you are absolutely incredible. I so resonate with the talk about WFPB influencing your mental health in a positive way. I struggle so much with my mental health as a teen and a young adult. Finding WFPB has been so helpful. You're totally right--the challenges don't stop coming but somehow this lifestyle helps you feel better and makes things just a bit easier. Thank you to Jeremy for this excellent interview and for doing this series. I truly am inspired.

[@pbwithjeremy]

My pleasure, but this was all Julie - I was just along for the fantastic ride!

[@plants2therescue618]

Thank you so much for your kind words ❣️

[@kristianglen5990]

Very inspiring!

[@monicaroque]

Thank you for starting this; can’t abstain from food as you can with alcohol and drugs!!😢

[@DannyD727]

THANK YOU JULIE. ❤ Everything you said was so profound and real. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@Enzo_Kristin]

Thank you for sharing your story, Julie. I love your outlook….so much!!

[@tanyas.9688]

I loved EVERYTHING about this video. Julie and I have so much in common!!! This was exactly what I needed to hear right now, at this point in my journey. Jeremy, I don't think you realize how inspiring these interviews are for those of us still struggling. Seeing and hearing real people overcome these food struggles is incredibly powerful. Thank you for sharing YOUR story, but also sharing the stories of all those you've interviewed. ❤

[@plants2therescue618]

Thank you for your kind words!!! Sending you much love!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you for this Tanya! I'm as inspired by these guests as all of you and I'm very honoured that they allow me to help share their story. It's such a gift and I'm grateful that it's able to help others on their journey.

[@plants2therescue618]

Jeremy I am still on a lovely natural high just from spending time with you and just knowing I found another like-minded person in this world. You are a treasure!!!!!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Awwww - same! Thank you for being so authentically you and inspiring us!

[@suemichaelsen8486]

Thank you both, for genuine honesty. I have serious talent for self sabotage. You inspire me to think better about me, just focus on eating healthy and be kind to me. I'd thought I was failing for still needing bp med. Giving up salt and oil was easy. Sugar has been my concern. I gave it up for nearly two years. Slid back Feb, Mar. Back to fighting to let go again Best to both of you.0

[@pbwithjeremy]

You got this! The fact that you're writing this means you can do it! Glad that this is helpful. Let us know what else we can do to help!

[@cathyrichard1100]

[@MicheleMoore7161959]

This was a fabulous interview! Julie just says it like it is. So refreshing. Thank you!

[@akaMcSassy]

I totally got chills at the Goal Weight moment! Who FLIPPIN CARES?! YEAHHHHHH 😂😂

[@pbwithjeremy]

Same!!!!

[@Plantbasedspacecase]

I’ll just be here watching this on repeat for a while.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Isn't she great? I should get her in a room with you :)

[@plants2therescue618]

I think you are AMAZING!

[@Plantbasedspacecase]

@@plants2therescue618 you’re my absolute hero. I watched this twice today ❤️

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Another amazing interview with the awesome & inspiring Julie and love 🥰these interviews Jeremy. Love 💞 Julie & ❤ Jeremy.

[@msicottevt]

GIRL YES!!!! PREACH!!!!

[@pbwithjeremy]

right?

[@merrill997]

Thank you both! Very motivating!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Our pleasure!

[@davidestes9971]

So many overweight people from the 80's have the same story including me. They would eat a full box of Snackwell cookies because they were fat free and our parents thought this meant they were healthy. Truth be told we were children and shouldn't have been on a diet in the first place. Our metabolism never had a chance.

[@plants2therescue618]

Absolutely 💯 the truth!!!!!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Preach.

[@sharonknorr1106]

I would second the statement that you don't need a high-end blender to cook well. My Nutribullet has served me well for years, especially since we have a smaller household. It has three different sized containers. Some of those blenders are really expensive and for some folks, it seem rather daunting and they may feel they won't be able to cook like this without one and that is a deterrent to getting started.

[@scotlandredd6134]

This interview is everything….inspirational!

[@marlenetopping2907]

What a wonderful interview! Such an inspiration Julie! Thank you for sharing your story ❤

[@diannemyers4935]

Julie is very inspiring thanks for this.

[@pbwithjeremy]

We agree!

[@maryannhughes8999]

Q - what is your strategy for not eating at night after 7pm??

[@pbwithjeremy]

I can't speak for Julie, but I'm just used to it now. After dinner/healthy dessert I just stop. If I feel hungry I had tea or water. Sometimes the feeling we have late at night that we think is hunger is actually the feeling of our body digesting. Most people stay in such a state of feeding that they don't know what it actually feels like. It's okay to be empty at the end of the day - you don't need energy then - you're going into a fasted state - you'll be fine until breakfast.

[@plants2therescue618]

1) I make absolutely sure I was sufficiently fueled up during the day. 2) Once that kitchen is closed after supper dishes....kitchen is completely CLOSED.

[@cathjeffares1363]

Fantastic interview! Great questions Jeremy 😊 Love Julie’s comment on the BMI as I was on that journey and was thinking “how” is that even possible? This has been so super helpful ❤

[@kristiecolon542]

Amazing! At one point you said over 30 years ago for a program you tried. You look like you are only in your 30s!

[@pbwithjeremy]

That's what Woolie said when I told her Julie's age :)

[@MauraMarcus]

BMI not accurate for short people

[@pbwithjeremy]

It's not accurate for ANY people

[@bernadetteswanson3304]

Nor for muscular people. If you exercise frequently, it thinks your muscle weight is fat!
