I live on the other side of the earth from you, and I see from your news report: It was like watching my local news reports. We all struggle with this pervasive ignorance among supposed health experts who continue to espouse meat (beef/poultry/pork/fish/etc.) and dairy as part of a healthy diet. Wake up world!
Thank you Andrew, especially for reminding us in the last part of tonight's message about why you got started on this path. Your perseverance is truly the best life lesson you shared with us this past year.
I really admire your raw honesty of it all. So exciting not just for you, but your family and peers. I'm so glad you made it known you're going plant based, and they put it into your final interview...and that you're both irritated over their continuous propaganda over meat and dairy. Your gratuity list was beautiful...I couldn't help but cry with you both. People have been known to promise change within their addictions, and fall flat. You've flourish, and shown how taking it daily with that earnest inspiration is how one can recover, and become healthier. You are proof that drastic simplicity helps make change...it's not complicated...and it's not dangerous. Big hugs to you both... beautiful people.
Ok so I am way late to the game, but I found you through the Reluctant Vegan podcast. I am so inspired by your story, but what I really want to tell you, is that your wife is my spirit animal. I love her passion and spunkiness, and I loved to see how much she supports you and your journey. I’d be as fired up as her, to be honest ❤️
Never too late! Yeah I officially have the world's best wife :-) Thanks for your support!
You are such a wonderful man Andrew! This video absolutely wrecked my self-control over holding back tears! Haha. Such beautiful, powerful and much-needed words you and your lovely wife shared, so touching and moving. For me today is day 366, the last day of my potato fast, and it just feels like such a tremendous experience to have gone through. There aren't adequate words to even describe all of the changes within me that have taken place throughout this journey. I am quite giddy and in shock that I was able to make it through this year on potatoes. It is such an otherworldly experience in a way.
I weighed in this morning for my final "spud weigh in" and the grand total/results are: I have lost 121.9 pounds (about 55.4 kg) in 366 days! Though, like you, this was never truly about weight loss for me, it still amazes me that such positive health benefits have emerged from a life-changing journey that was meant only to rewire my "relationship with food". I desperately needed a way out of the severe depressive and oppressive state of being I was in before this amazing experience, I needed to heal that damaged and seemingly powerless "little fat girl" inside that thought she needed food to feel alive, to feel any sort of happiness, to hide from the people that hurt her, to escape. Thanks to you and your wonderful encouragement and your own personal experiences you have shared throughout your own Potato journey, I now know FINALLY what it is like to be set free from all of those horrors. Sure, these things don't disappear right away or even completely within the year, but this year long potato experience is a monumental tool that offers people like you and I and countless others a sort of shining hope amidst the darkness.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you have done Andrew. You have helped inspire sooo many folks to change their lives for the better and I will be forever proud to be a lifelong fellow spuddie right alongside you! Much love to you, Mandy and Teddy from a fellow Vegan in California. ❤️🥔🌱
Oh wow that's amazing, I'm SO happy for you!! It still feels a bit un-real that I did a year, I'm so impressed that you did it too! We lost almost exactly the same amount of weight! Thanks so much for sharing, let's eat spuds some time and celebrate!
+Spud Fit A very very moving and inspirational final video of your all potato year. I've been following you since last February when I first found out from High Carb Hannah, who at the time was doing a one month potato and veggie challenge on her UA-cam channel.
Andrew, you've been just wonderful at getting back to me, and to all the people who left comments. You are, and were, a very busy man yet you found the time to respond to each and every one of us. For that, I want to express my gratitude to you for not only your commitment to keep your challenge resolution, but to also think enough of your viewers and followers to care to take the time out of your busy life to take care of all of us:-)
Happy New Year to you and your wonderful family, Andrew!! All my best in the new year for you as I'm assuming you'll now follow a whole foods, plant-based eating lifestyle. Thank you and spud up:-)
Congratulations Andrew!!! Just wanted to add that you and Mandy are my favorite couple on UA-cam. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world.
You are just the dearest sweetest family and this video as well as your previous ones have inspired me on so many levels especially 'don't think but do'! Congratulations on your committed and amazing health journey and sharing it with us all! The very Best to you in 2017!
Haha, love Teddy's running commentary over the Channel 9 news story! 🤣
Haha yes me too
I started this a week ago and went from 205 lbs to 192 in a week. No more cravings, energy is excellent, (I was eating no oil/plant based meals but with a huge appetite before I started this, I was overeating dense foods, pasta, breads and gaining more and more, ...I needed a reset and this is exactly the prescription. I will be able to eventually get back to regular no oil plant based meals an eat lower density with more satisfaction.
Awesome progress!
So great to read this, well done!!
OMG this made me cry, too. What a lucky boy Teddy is to have you two as parents. Congratulations on your success!!!!'
thank you :-)
You are an inspiration. I found you as you were ending your potato journey. Today is my day one!
You guys are such a lovely little family and Teddy is a very lucky wee fella to have such loving devoted parents. I so get your total frustration over these so called experts who are obviously misinformed! I really hope your meal went well and I hope you don't get an upset tummy from the change of food. All the best for 2017 guys...Spud up!!!
I've been with you since the beginning, and the transformation has been amazing! Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. I was crying with you right at the end.
Potatoes and love are all we need. Thanks for sharing your story. Happy New Year!
So proud of you! What an epic year!
Thanks! Massive year!
Wow, what a rollercoaster of emotions...what a lovely tribute to Mandy and your son at the end :) (I thought Teddy's "gibberish" was adorable lol) It's amazing to think you've practically shed a whole Chef AJ haha. Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2017, and have fun at the breakfast tomorrow :)
Would love to say something succinctly about how you've helped me throughout the year, and something meaningful and fitting for the inspiration, but the tears man, you got me all choked up haha. So I'll just say thank you, and send much love to you and your beautiful family
Thankyou, so glad to be able to help in some small way.
Congratulations Spud Master's!!! You have been so inspirational throughout the year...now where my tissues :D
Congratulations Andrew! Many thanks for keeping us informed every step of your journey! I am really looking forward to hearing more about your ongoing journey! You look totally fantastic! How awesome that one day Teddy will be able to understand what an incredible year you have had! Happy New Year!
I love watching you and your wife together. Make more videos with the two of you together. Her support was imperative in your journey. I love her feisty personality. Regarding the "professionals" on TV - they have never been where you were Andrew. If "moderation" was so easy, we wouldn't have an obesity epidemic. Your journey (Phase 1) has been wonderful to watch. You have been real the whole way through. 2017 brings in Phase 2 and more videos to watch. Happy New Year ~ Happy New You!
You made me cry! I've been going through some VERYZ BAD times right now and you give me hope-THANKYOU!!!!! ❤
thank you. Best wishes to you. "this too shall pass"
Congratulations for your amazing accomplishment and for sharing your journey with us. Wishing you, Mandy and Teddy the happiest, healthiest New Year ever!
thank you
Hey mate, started this diet on Jan 2nd. Just eating potatoes and pepper. 30 minute cardio sessions in the morning and have lost 17 lbs as of today.
holy shit that's incredible!
Howd it go?
Congratulations. Your authenticity shines through.
Teddy is the best commentator . 💞💞💞💜💞🤣. 2017 is going to be an awesome year.
Congratulations. I found SpudFit 3 days ago. This was the trigger for me to start a new year with a new goal. Thank you for your sharing and availability. I had been thinking for a few weeks what I could do to control my anxiety and binge eating.
I found SpudFit.
Thanks again.
A great year of 2017 for you and your whole family.
I'm from Portugal.
I agree with your reaction to the second interview ha. I'm on a bit of an unusual diet. I eat nothing but rice or noodles (all cooked at home - no meat or dairy). A couple eggs on each weekday. Been doing it for over three months now and i'm losing weight. Most people would frown at it though b/c it's heavy carb.
Truly, one of the best and most meaningful videos I've ever seen. Bless you for "getting it done".
this video was beautiful and authentic... I have followed your journey... hope to one day meet you both. I got emotional too!!!
It seems impossible you're going to eat not-spuds now. Lol well done. 2017 is my hubby and I Year to get healthy on a starch heavy WFPB diet. I hope you keep posting as you transition to WFPB. All the best from Gosford, NSW.
Awesome honesty! Congratulations on all of your success!
thanks!
good on ya Andrew. ive bin with you since day one. i wish you, Mandy and Teddy all the best for your future.
Congratulations!! You must be feeling accomplished!! You set up a challenge and you did it!! Good on you!! You guys made me cry at the end!! May 2017 be awesome!!
Congrats Andrew. It's been a joy and an inspiration watching you on this journey.
Congratulations! I am so happy for you, how you have improved your life so amazingly over this past year, and how you have inspired so many people, including me! Happy New Year!
What a great video. You two are wonderful and your willingness to be so transparent and vulnerable in sharing your story is what will touch the hearts of so many. Oh yes and the 117 pounds lost is a tremendous success and powerful headline. Headlines get people's attention so they are very important but headlines don't change lives your willingness to tell your story and to just be yourself as you share this journey is what's touching and changing lives around the world. Your parents must be so proud of you.. I know I'm just a stranger but I'm very proud of you. You stayed the course and proved that the so called experts don't always know what their talking about. I thank God that you did. You are an inspiration to me. God bless you both.
That's so lovely Tom, thank you :) A very happy 2017 to you!
Congratulations for making it a full year! You have gained so much, while losing a great deal :)
thank you!
Congratulations Andrew!!! Incredible! You Did it! Yippeee!!! Well, it's not quite over. Now comes the rest of your life - a healthy plant based life style, if you so choose. Anyhow, you begin a new chapter tomorrow, and that would most likely be the most difficult part. Sticking to it.
You guys are so sweet together. Congratulations for the amazing journey!
You should write a book about your experience!!
You are all so sweet. Happy new year.
Congratulations to you guys! You are such a great and inspirational little family! :)
Congratulations Andrew!!! You did a great job. LOL I shared your vid yesterday... really cheesed off a meat eater with health issues they are not ready to face. That is all good tho. They will come around when and if they choose to. We can only share information and choose what we want to do for ourselves. :)
Love you two!!! Thank you for giving us hope and for being such an inspiration. 💚
thankyou :-)
Hey guys. Just want you to know that 4 years later people are still watching this. Thank you
thankyou so much!
Congratulations! You have done a lot to spread the health benefits of plant based (and potato) eating.
Congrats - Andrew! - All the best!!!!!! Love both you and your better half ;-) - You're the best!!!!!
It's wonderful to see such authentic people in a world filled with shallowness and BS, so touching! Congratulations on your amazing success over the last year, and with all you learned and shared, I know you will stay the course even if you have to watch your own videos for inspiration! lol Every day is a gift and a new challenge to embrace and learn from, and even though it isn't always easy, we can only strive to do our best. You are a shining example! Thank you so much for sharing your inspirational story with us every step of the way and being the thoughtful, inveterate teacher.
PS... Channel 10's crap is a perfect example of reactionary, desperate, attempts to preserve the $$$ status quo and pathetically transparent. S.A.D. (pun intended...it can apply to Australia too!) The saddest thing is people will still believe them...but your efforts over the last year took a nice chunk out of that! Love to you all and looking forward to seeing your big event! LOTS of video I hope, and more to come!
CONGRATS!!!! So happy for you... hope you have a wonderful New Year!!!!
Congrats. Your a true inspiration. Happy new year to you both!
What a wonderful story. All the best to you all in the new year
long time subscriber here since the beginning of last year! so happy for you! good luck with everything and I hope you keep up the good relationship with food! Cheers!

You've inspired me to give it a go!
excellent :-)
Congratulations!
I am planning on cutting out the vegan junk and diving in to a WFPB way of life. I hope you share some of how you are doing with that.
Wonderful! Well done.
Congratulations! What an amazing year. I've enjoyed following your journey from pretty much the beginning when I found you on High Carb Hannah's potato page. On the downside, It's probably going to suck having to pay for your potatoes from now on.
yes but also I'm happy to be able to pay them back!
YOU MADE IT!!!!
You're most definitely an inspiration, Andrew. I'm starting back on Forks 0ver Knives January 1 after a month and a half of holiday gorging on junky, SAD food. It's still Dec 31 here in America and I feel like crap.
Will we get a UA-cam video of your Jan 1 feast? I hope so! :)
Yay!! You did it!
Awesome video. Congratulations on all your changes.
thanks!
So So beautifull!!! Wonderfull!! Be the change you want to see in this world! Is what you did !!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Awesome! What's the next stage for you?!
Good luck in 2017, congratulations on your success and completing your goal. I'm sure you can coach your wife to not interrupt every comment you have, because it is annoying.
Venicestu Lol I'd love to interrupt you too 😉
congratulations! please keep posting in 2017.
You are legend, gotta laugh at the doctor hahahaha, how much proof does one need
im eating peeled boiled potatos, should i eat the potato with its skin ?
i dont know how to steam potatos properly so i boil them 30 minutes or how ever it takes to make them soft enough for my preference
i walk everyday about 2 and half hours to 3 hours everyday , i dont do any other exercises . wish me luck
i also eat Rhye bread with cheese on it. and drink milk, sometimes cucumbers and lettuce . sometimes some boiled eggs
not trying to starve here. eating when hungry
Awwww, now you've made me cry! You are both awesome and a beautiful couple. Been following you from NZ ever since you hit the news here, too. So proud of you, Andrew! Whatever the next step is, keep going forward believing in yourself - you've proven you've got what it takes!
