I think speak for everyone when I say these types of videos are not boring at all! Love seeing what a realistic day of eating looks like, even if it's just simple meals. It inspires me to make some new meals :)

[@CassieDavis613]

Jessica, you look so healthy and beautiful in your close up at 4:02. I binge-watched several of your first videos (have many more to go). The change in your appearance is so noticeable. You both look great. This lifestyle agrees with both of you.

[@barbarah2911]

One of the best things about this video is seeing the amount of food a person can actually eat and still lose weight and be healthy! You guys are super! Thanks for all you do!

[@fuldagermany]

I see I'm not the only one that really loves the both of you. your authentic human beings and not the plastic kind that once he's from time to time and you're fun to watch and learn from. losing 300 pounds between the two of you is amazing and you should feel very proud of yourselves. You're both very good-looking people and getting better looking every single day because you're eating healthy. You're both very fortunate to have discoveredeating healthy at your age before you develop anything like a friend of mine who has diabetes or me who has heart issues. Keep up the good work.

[@spappy2k6]

My wife and it really appreciate how down to earth and relatable you both are. We started the WFPB diet almost 2 years ago and had good results for about the first 6 months, but have been off and on again since. You guys have inspired us to get going again. Thank you!

Thank you!! ❤️

Yes! Thank you Brian for not editing out the fun.

Loved the Krocks adventure style Sunday video! Jessica, I am a 63 year ( on Jan. 8th) old pastor's wife, and I act like you when I'm doing my thing alone!Brian, we intersect in loving the Lord and eating the good plants that he has given us. You guys did a video on being weird sometimes...I would say you're just really fun people! For dinner I had a homemade veggie burrito stuffed with red bulgar (as a faux ground beef) tomato paste, salsa, chopped cabbage/lettuce, veggie cheese wrapped in a no fat, high fiber spinach tortilla. A banana and a light sangria for dessert....hey, a girl's gotta chill some time! ;-)

[@Leigh_Belula]

Oh I see why people like this. It makes eating this way more accessible! 😻

[@lyndadunckel9152]

Jessica , I don’t want you to get an anxiety attack over this request so I will totally understand if you pretend I never asked it 😊 would you be up for showing us how you organize your refrigerator with everything that you prep for the week? I struggle with that... my fridge is a hot mess! Total chaos! I want it to look like a Pinterest fridge... can you help? ❤️

[@chrissyrozelle2167]

lynda dunckel I second this request! Organization, and also how you store what you batch cook.

[@lisaguittar5100]

I'm up with that request too!

[@amytih47]

I would love to see a video about the staples you guys try to keep in the fridge, pantry, and especially the spice cabinet. You guys make all of your recipes look delicious, but a compiled list of basic supplies would be awesome!

OMG ! Jessica has really flourished throughout this whole adventure ! She exudes confidence and gets more beautiful every day !!!! Brian you are no slouch !!! Love you guys so much !

[@volition51]

Yes more salad videos please!! Today I had "breakfast" around noon: some sliced beets with a dab of horseradish, some extremely simple split pea soup made in the Instant Pot yesterday, and leftover stew of black beans, pineapple, bok choy, various seasonings and a little chili garlic sauce. Dinner was at Red Lobster: plain baked potato and steamed broccoli, a naked side salad (no cheese or croutons), hot hibiscus tea, and water. I had no interest in the cheesy biscuit basket at all, a real first for me! I did bring my own chili garlic sauce for the potato, and lemon to squeeze over salad. First compliant restaurant meal ever, and I enjoyed every bite! Quick note about prepared horseradish: read the labels - Kroger had 2 brands, one had soybean oil. Some more split pea soup and tea when I got home, because I really hadn't eaten enough today (!). Your videos show us the fun side of WFPB - thank you for all you do!!!

[@janst.charles5469]

You guys are an inspiration to me! Your video popped up in my news feed. What a blessing! I'm going to mirror what you guys did and do as I'm in similar physical shape as you "were" in. I hope I have success as you did! Congratulations on looking awesome and not giving up! Love you guys ❤

[@Adee-at-Rainier]

Thank so much for being open and honest with your diet journey. You are both an inspiration to me! Thanks for giving me ideas and ways to eat out. I like this smoothie recipe.

[@Kathryn721]

I just want to thank you both SO MUCH! You have helped me and my SO switch to a WFPB diet, and I couldn't be more grateful. It's not just your videos, but sometimes an offhand comment you make. Like Jessica saying that it took you about 3 months to like salads, but now you look forward to them. You saying that has helped me enormously. Thank you for your honesty! I hold onto that as I'm learning to enjoy my salads (which I'm starting to love now. Amazing! I used to live on pizza!). Brian, your love of experimenting in the kitchen is awesome. And Jessica, eating your salad with a spoon let me know we are kindred spirits! You two are the best and I'm so grateful you started this channel. Happy 2020!

Love you two! Thanks for all your sharing! Love it!! I love veggies so I eat almost exactly what I have been doing for ten years. But I still love seeing others too!!!

[@yellowbird5411]

For me, food combining experiments are key to this kind of eating. Most combinations work out fine. At least I find the foods don't clash. Those Aldi dates are great for salads and anywhere you want sweetness. Experimenting has been fun. Like peanut butter on Ezekiel bread with a layer of Kimche. Kimche is a wonderful addition to a pan of cooked vegetables, or potatoes. I've also resurrected my blender for fruit smoothies made with almond milk. Thank you for all you do!

[@newgtguy]

You two look so great! I can even tell a difference from when I started watching your videos a couple of months ago. Additionally, I can only imagine how much more healthy your insides are! That's what's so amazing about the human body...it's fabulous ability to heal itself, given the proper conditions. Thanks again for all you do Brian and Jessica! :)

[@BrandiXo]

Yes! Love this! Thanks. Please keep them coming. This best way for me to see what to eat and make better choices. These are the best videos I love watching what eat and prep. Helps so much.

Today: () thanks for asking!) Breakfast: oatmeal with apple, banana, raisins, cinnamon and cardamom. Lunch: vegan cheese and Ezekial and tomato sandwich, toasted. Dinner: Amazing new recipe for me! Vegan haggis wrapped in--no, not a vegan sheeps stomach--but a whole grain spinach wrap. Sooooo good. Use the Simnet Nutrition recipe.

That was a pretty good chunk of ginger in that smoothie! Wowzer! Good for you! We love Ruby Tuesdays! Hummus as your dressing! I have never tried that.

I would enjoy seeing your salad “recipes”, Jessica. It’s always nice to see how I change things up. I like this type of video, btw. I’m the only member of my family who eats this way so I do, sometimes, end up eating conveniently vegan rather than mindfully whole food plant based vegan. These types of vids help to keep me on track.

[@flibbertygibbette]

I liked Jessica's camera work, it was a nice switch-up! I've been working on switching my family to a more plant-based diet, so your videos have been helpful for motivation and ideas.

I do however like some pork ...bacon,bacon,bacon. I Love veggies, no problem there. I Do like beans but NOT garbanzo beans. Too hard. So, bottom line, I will be watching to see what I can incorporate into my eating habits. Another concern of mine is HIGH Cholesterol and I don’t want to take statins. So HAPPY for you guys and your weight loss. You both are looking so much more healthy.

[@laurelmcmahon4082]

Love sharing meal ideas! Since it's the weekend, I have more time to cook. I never really enjoyed cooking until I became plant based. It changed everything. Last night we made a veggie pasta casserole w mushrooms, peppers, onions and a tomato based sauce. For breakfast, oatmeal w almond milk, blueberries, flaxseed, fresh ginger, cinnamon and pumpkin seeds. A bowl of raspberries and banana on the side. For lunch, leftover pasta, steamed broccoli and avocado slices w lemon. Dinner is in the crockpot..a new recipe, Everyday Vegan Lentil Soup from Nora Taylor at Nora Cooks. Smells really good! Also planning to make her recipe, The Best Vegan Cornbread to go with the soup. Love your channel!

[@yellowbird5411]

In terms of the tortillas, I can't find a good white corn (yellow corn is too GMO) tortilla in the store. I bought one brand, but it was so flimsy with no flavor. I want to get one I can pop in the toaster without heating up my whole oven to brown them. The ones I got just "melted" down into the toaster as it heated. What a mess. So I bought some corn flour and tonight I watched some videos on how to make them without a tortilla press, and no oil in the pan. This is my next frontier.

[@yellowbird5411]

Cooking in batches enables you to bag up several servings of something and build a stockpile in the freezer. Then you can pull from your stash, without having to eat the same thing all week,, but still keeping the benefits of batch cooking. Some people won't eat leftovers, though, so for them, it's a different story.

[@MartintheGreatPotatoMage]

@@yellowbird5411 I'm the same as Jessica Rosenfeld; It's not so much that I struggle with batch cooking, it's more that I then save stuff in the freezer and forget that it's there, or that it's in the fridge but I don't quite fancy eating whatever it is again just yet, and then it feels like it's wasted... well, and definitely that eating the same thing day after day is kinda boring. I dunno, it works for some and not others! I'm pretty impressed by people who just know what they're eating and go for that one thing each day too.

I go to Ruby Tuesday a couple of times a month for the salad bar buffet. In that way I get to eat my whole foods plant based and I always order 3 sides to go with the salad bar buffet which cost like extra $4 more. I always get a bake potato, a sweet potato, and grilled zucchini. Very good!
