Thanks for sharing! I've been pretty much whole food plant based for about 3 years, but I'm 74 and wish I had done this sooner. I feel better now than I did 20 years ago, so it's never too late to eat healthier!
Never too late! Way to go!
I am in my seventies and get enthusiasm from my peers, so was happy to read your comment!💚
I meant NO enthusiasm...
I just started at age 64. Congrats to us both!
Anne Vaughan Hi there...I’m 73! My husband and I have been eating this way for almost 2 years. Like you, I wish I started long ago. But we still have time to share with our loved ones.
For your dad: Mastering Diabetes. It’s low fat WFPB. I’ve been on it for 3 months, lost 20 pounds and A1C went down 6 points. I’m type 1 & when my Dr said I had eye trouble. I said NOT ME. I shifted like you did. You are a strong woman!!!
i’ve been vegan for almost 6 months and i love it. i lost about 25 pounds quickly going vegan and i’ve lost about 50 in total. i’m trying very hard to eat whole foods instead of vegan junk food but i’m working on it lol
I'm 72 and I gave up dairy first and 6 months later I gave up animal products. It's true that if I go back to eating foods on the SAD diet I my stomach feels awful for at least a day. Thank you Brittany for helping me stay on my WFPB diet. Your comments are thoughtful, kind, and motivating.
you're amazing!!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I am just a few months into this journey and it’s been super frustrating. In spite of that, I know I’ll never go back to eating the way I did before!
God Bless you honey. I lost my loving husband to cancer 1 1/2 years ago now. i am whole plant 2 years now. Michael went vegan but it was a little to late he already had stage 4 cancer he was only 59. I miss him so. you do inspire people 10,000 right now and i am sure your channel will only grow. stay well Peace
vintage laidbackhippie I’m so sorry for ur loss.. may he RIP..😔😔
Thank you Vana
Thank you!! So sorry for your loss.
Your welcome and thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this information, and sharing your personal journey. I'm really so sorry for your loss.
I'm so glad I came across your channel. Wish you and your family the best. Your puppies are absolutely adorable. 😊
Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic! So genuine and honest 👏👏👏👏Thank you for sharing your story Brittany 🤗
What's your channel about? Imma check it out 👊
Wow! Make so happy to see you here sharing your love.
I love your book
What a beautiful story! As you know, you have helped me turn my life around. I have lost over 50 lbs., have come off my diabetic meds AND my blood pressure meds. I feel better than I have EVER felt in a very long time! No, WFPB, Vegan, will not stop heart disease, cancer , etc. but it sure helps give you the strength to fight it😊I agree with Susan, you are one of our up and coming leaders and I’m so proud to say that I “know” you😊 Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for me and my health💕
Cheryl Cochran hiya how did u do it pls !!!! What and wat did u do girl😘😘😘
shee lawal followed the WFPB no oil no salt way of eating! I follow Brittany, Krocks in the Kitchen Jane Esselstyn on UA-cam. I’ve read and watched Forks over Knives, How Not To Die, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Plant Strong and Eat to Live all which have helped me tremendously!
So happy for you Cheryl!!!
I love the way you express yourself. I’m vegan for the animals and whole food plant based for health. I have many family members with health issues as well and I share your frustrations. You are so positive and lovely. Keep doing what you do!
Heartfelt, authentic. My story was "horrific skin" until I went vegan@50-some yrs old. Now, skin clear, even youngish. No headaches. Good energy, mental clarity.
So awesome to hear Crystal!!
Thank you for the lovely video.I watched the Forks over Knives video almost 3yrs ago and began my journey the next day.I am 63 years old and have lost 25 pounds and am now a normal weight.I feel wonderful,have lots of energy and I am in the process of starting a plant based support group in Milton Ontario affiliated with Plant Based Nutrition Support Group in Detroit under Paul Chaplin.I just retired after working 38 yrs as a nurse so I knew what Disease looks like...and I feel So blessed that I found the Plant Based eating solution!🥦🌽🍓🥗🥔
What a sweet and earnest girl. I’m so pleased to have discovered this account. I love all the super simple, few ingredient videos. And I especially love the simple sincerity. No showing off or self promoting. Nothing to grow quickly tired of in these vids.
I was always overweight since about age 9. I yo-yo dieted all my life. Fast forward to my age 61. Quit my job. My head cleared of stress. Read The China Study. Whole food, plant based since then. Now 68. Never had so much energy and discipline as now. Lost 45 pounds size 12 to size 6. Thanks for your story.
Me too!!! I went WFPB in 2016 at age 55. I was able to lower my cholesterol, lose weight, and all of my knee and back pain went away almost immediately. I feel SO much better and I am having tons of fun cooking. There's all the bonus stuff too like easy clean-up, environmental benefits, and nobody has to die for me to live. Thanks for your story! Keep up the good work!
Dr Mc Dougall has a 10-day clinic that will turn your father's diabetes around. Both of my parents are gone. Mom died from cancer and Dad had a heart attack. My brother also died from cancer. I wish I had this knowledge before they died.
LOVE this! You are such an inspiration to so many!! I wish I could follow this way of life as faithfully as you! You are one of the up and coming leaders of a new wave of health and well being for us. I expect to hear many good things from you in the future!! I"m so proud of you!
Thank you Susan!!
So sorry for your loss. You are a joy to watch. Like you father I am 60 with type 2 diabetes. I eat like crap. I work in the fast food industry, so for 8 hours a day i eat that. I know when i went plant based for 2 months I felt amazing. when I stopped and eat what was in front of me my chest hurt my gut is so inflamed it feels like a heart attack. I am going back on plant based for good. You are a big help and i did some of your recipes early on and plan to follow them again. Keep up the good work and good health!
If you have a chance to switch careers to another fast food establishment with more fresh food options It may be easier to adopt permanent lifestyle change. Best of luck to you and wish you all the best health.
Be sure and pack healthy snacks to deter yourself from at work weaknesses
Well done, Brittany! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️ I’m in my mid 50’s now and have been overweight the majority of my adult life. My mom passed when I was 10 due to a myocardial infarction (heart attack) at age 47 and my dad though he lived to be 81 he had numerous health issues throughout his life. I could wish that I found the WFPB lifestyle when I was younger but am so glad to have found it now in my 50’s. I actually feel like I should have felt in my 20’s. My knees no longer hurt. My BP and resting heart rate are down as is my weight. I find myself wanting to scream it from the rooftop every day. Instead, I just try to lead by example. My husband is a skinny omnivore but now he eats meat less than one time a month. So I take that as a victory. Reminding him that I want my 50 years with him!
Your channel is an inspiration. You took control of your health and now are enjoying the benefits of the WFPB lifestyle. Kudos to you! Thanks for sharing your story!
Vegetarian for 30 years and wfpb for ten years. I am 69 now and have never been so fit and healthy in all my life. Cheese and eggs can put on the pounds for vegetarian folks! Now colds and flu are very very rare. Thank you for your channel! It IS frustrating when some people prefer illness to health because they fear change. But wfpb food does taste great! Not just ok. It tastes better than high fat animal food.
So true about the eggs and cheese for vegetarians. I've been a lifelong vegetarian and that has always been my problem. I was wfpb for almost 2 years but the last 10 months have drifted back to my regular vegetarian diet (after the death of my daughter). I can see the difference.
@@ejwilliams2002 So sorry about your daughter. Boy. Hope you can return to WFPB because it will help you heal on all levels. Hope all goes well for you.
@@barbaramassey3787 yes, I'm moving that way now. I should be all the way back in a couple of weeks (or less...lol) Thanks for the encouragement!!
Don't apologize for your puppies. I love animals and enjoyed seeing them play. Someone talking about a whole food plant based diet and watching puppies play--doesn't get any better than that!
I want to take a moment to tell you how much of a difference you're making in the world with your channel. I'm a long time vegan for ethical, climate, and health reasons (with a strong emphasis on whole foods). Other people have always viewed my lifestyle as 'complicated' and have constantly asked me if I'm deficient in just about every nutrient out there. In the past, even I started to wonder if I might be doing something that wasn't good for me. And yet... over the years, my blood work always came back perfect. I never struggled with weight. I had great skin and hair quality. I aged more slowly than my peers. I had incredible athletic endurance and never napped. Also of note, my dad reversed a heart condition by enrolling in Dean Ornish's whole foods plant based program a few years ago. I deeply wish that everyone out there truly understood what a big deal eating this way is, and how it can improve (and even save) their lives if they commit & stick to it like you did. You may not be able to get your message through to your own dad, but trust me - you're reaching others who will listen, and you may even end up saving their lives. Thank you for working hard to shed light on a way of eating that could literally save the world if enough people got on board.
So sorry to hear you lost your mom! So happy to see you being healthy and active.Love your channel!! Yes you are so very helpful especially for those of us that are not creative.
I've been vegan for about 4 years but I've recently gotten reinspired to be vegan for health reasons as much as for animal rights reasons. Vegan junk food is delicious don't get me wrong but junk is junk. Thank you for this message and your channel I've been binge watching your videos all week!
I'm in the same boat, eating too much vegan rubbish and really I should put the same effort in to looking after myself as I do for the animals. I must try harder!!
Love your story, Forks over knives is what started my journey as well and my very poor health of course. I've been on it for 6 months now and not only have I lost alot of weight but my vital stats have also all improved immensely, I no longer take diabetes meds anymore. I'll be watching your journey and recipes, keep up the good work :)
🙂I think you favor Drew Barrymore... 🤗Keep up the great plant based lifestyle, you look amazing!!!
Great video. My family and I went plant based about 9 months ago. My son was born with a heart defect and we wanted to give all our kids the best chance at a healthy life.
Thank you, 21days in and I’m feeling great
I very much appreciate you helping me and so many others. Thank you for opening up and sharing so much about your life. My condolences to you and your family. I know your mama must be very proud of you for helping so many people that you’ve never even met :)
I'd love to see u do a video on easy meals for beginners or tips on how to get started... I have seen all the documentaries and I follow a bunch of vegan UA-camrs but I havent been able to stay wfpb for more then a few days.. I struggle with type 2 diabetes and I'm only 32. So I'd love to hear some tips
You're a blessing to us all. Rock on!
thank you a million times for this video. I'm going to share it with everyone in my life.
Yo go girl! I love your story! And your message!
Thank you for being an inspiration and for the information to keep going on this journey.
I came across a video of you sharing a black bean brownie recipe a few months ago and I feel like it opened up a whole new world to me. I'm slowly moving to a WFPB diet and am really inspired by your story and your recipe shares.
Needed this!! Thank you for sharing your story. Love your channel and hope I can find such success. Much thanks ❤️
You are wise beyond your years. I too have been dealt a lousy hand genetically. Cancer, heart disease, extremely high cholesterol doesn't run, it gallons through both sides of my family. My Dad died 1993 after suffering for years with all of the above. My oldest sister had several strokes ending up disabled in a nursing home around at 60 years of age. This Jan she was found deceased, she had another stroke, she was 71. In Feb my Mom, who had vascular dementia for 27 years, passed away a week before her 97th Birthday. For over 40 years I've tried very hard to eat well and avoid going down the same road. Sadly I now realize that a lot of the "good things" that I was doing were harmful. At 68, I have multiple heart issues. However after 30 years of not being able to lose weight, I have lost almost 60 lbs in not quite a year. I'm totally WFPB. I finally understand how and what to eat.
Your journey has inspired me as I've watched over the last year. I'm sorry sorry about your Mom. I understand the frustration, as well as the helpless feelings of seeing what your Dad is going through. It really hurts to have to watch.
You are so appreciated.
I love your channel, and I am very happy it is growing. Thank you for sharing your story. It will inspire a lot of people.
Thank you so much for sharing. You are helping and making such a positive difference.
I've been watching your videos for a while and have been desparate to see your furbabies, they are so yummy.
Ty again
You inspired me to start tomorrow, I've been on the fence about this way of life style, bu now you have convinced me to start. Thank you for this.
Thanks for making this video! Much Love to you.
Love your spirit, thank you for sharing your story and motivating others to go wfpb.
Happy for you that you have learned so much, come so far. Thanks for sharing and teaching us how to do better, live better, eat better, so important.
Thank you, just what I needed to hear tonight! Sorry you lost your mom, that's so hard, but you're doing the best thing you can to avoid that illnesss and many others.
Love. Love. Loveeeeeee! ❤️💕 Thank you for being YOU and sharing your story, your health and your recipies! HUGS! ☺️🌺
Thank you for all your enthusiasm!! Love to you and your family. Keep spreading the word 😘😘
Inspired as usual. Really appreciated hearing your journey. You give me hope that I could focus on health and stop damaging my body with unhealthy food choices. Thank you!
Forks Over Knives saves lives 💕💕 thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your story! Good luck to you and your husband...God bless!
I’m so sorry for what you’ve had to experience in order to reach the level you’re on now. You’re awesome and I believe in plant based eating😁 Thank you for a great video. Videos like yours keep me on track!!
Inspirational and thank you. Your clarity now is phenomenal and so glad you are sharing your journey with us. Keep up the good work. And you know it never ends. These videos and your future books will inspire others way into the future.
Am so glad to have recently found your channel. I love the inspired way you teach, and the recipes are delicious. Thank you so much for all of your work!
Such an inspirational video. I' d love to see you do a what I eat in a day or day in your life vlog. Keep doing what you do!
Thank you so much. New subscriber. I’m a 50 year old woman and have been plant-based for a month now. Already feeling so much better. You’re inspiring and I wish you the very best.
This is the first video of yours I've seen and omg I love you. You're story is incredible thank you for sharing. Keep it up!
Our family went through this same path- we have never looked back or wanted our old health issues. :). Great job!!!! 💖💖💖
I watching too cause my dad got diagnose with Prostate Cancer. So I hope you continue with Dr. Gregor Cookbook Recipes. It’s what I’m using to help reduce its growth. Please continue to make your own recipes and Gregor recipes, it helps me better understand how to make the meals.
Thank you for what you do!
You should look at the whole food plant based cooking show Channel. Also Simnett Nutrition
An inspirational figure you are... you see the evidence, act on it, are patient and get results. A great role model, keep doing it!
Love your story 😊 thank you for the motivation. God bless you and your family. Your cooking videos are the best 😁👍🌱🌱🌱🥦🥦🍠🍠
One of the best journey videos I've heard. Especially about the changes taking time and staying consistent. Hats off to you young lady!
Your story is amazing and encouraging. Plant diet is so powerful . I have been on a plant based diet for 3,5 years too. And I love it!
I’m so happy for you! God bless you!
Brittany, this is one of my favorite videos! I’m so thankful that you have found this wonderful way of restoring your health. I will pray that your father will see that his health can improve as well! Thank you for encouraging your listeners to follow your example. My twin is the one that steered me and my husband onto the whole food plant based diet. I still struggle with temptation to eat sweets, but feel much better after changing my diet.
Thank you so much! Because of this video I am now a subscriber. You've been through a lot! I know how hard it is to watch our loved ones' health degenerate from easily-prevented diseases. I'm sorry about your mom. Keep working on your dad 🤞💕
Thanks SO much for all you do!
Thank you for inspiring honesty.
I've enjoyed every video, I've been priviledged to view. Only the best
to you and your loved ones.
Thank you for being so real and authentic. You are a very inspirational lady and your message was perfect for me at this time. 🤗🥰🙏🏼
You go girl! Awesome job! Keep up these great recipes and motivation.
We have such similar stories. My mom, sister and brother all have diabetes. I was told they wanted to put me on diabetes meds. Thats when I changed. I am a year and a half wfpb and all of my numbers have changed for the better in the first three months, including cholesterol and losing 42 lbs. Would love to my blood done now and plan on it. My family won’t change their ways, either, and its sad and frustrating. Blessings to you and your husband. I’m sorry to hear of your mom passing. So happy you’ve found what can change your fate. I love your channel. 💕
Thank you so much for sharing your story. ❣️. I have been struggling to commit to this way of eating for the past couple of months and keep getting off track. You inspired me ✨
Thanks for this! Very helpful and motivating. I just discovered your video as I start on my journey to health. Thank you!
Wow, you look like a different person in the before and after, healthy and glowing. I love your puppies running around in the background, so cute! x
You have a really inspirational story! Thank you for sharing. :) Looking forward to trying some of your recipes on your channel!
Thank you so much for everything you do! I can't wait for your cooking book to come out!!! You keep me inspired to keep this lifestyle!
Great testimony! Forks over knives is what changed me overnight as well. Thanks for sharing..truly inspiring and motivating.
I am currently looking at going WFPB and enjoy channels like yours. You are an inspiration and it helps to see other people doing it.
I absolutely love your recipes... you’ve given me so much variety in my plant based journey! The frostys are my absolute favorite!!! They’re perfect for AZ summer days.Thank you. I wish you continued success.. I’m sorry about your mother’s passing... I hope your brother gets on board..
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! You are such an inpiration. More please x
Hello from the UK. I watched one of your videos today and became a subscriber. Your story is inspiring and I admire the way you have dealt with life's challenges and regained your health. I look forward to trying your recipes and I wish you well for the future.
Wonderfully inspirational story, well told. Your puppies playing in the background were an added bonus. Thanks too for all the cooking videos, they are a great source of meal ideas.
you are so inspiring Brittany! Grateful for your videos and the way you teach great recipes!
This is such an encouraging story! Your channel is really awesome!
Thank you for your story! I have been following plant-based on and off since January. I find I am addicted to processed foods and it can be so hard but it is possible. Can't wait to see your meals you eat on a daily basis like you mentioned recently.
Your story is so similar to mine and I really resonated with it. I spent my entire childhood overweight before I went vegan, it’s been around 10 years now for me. Then my dad nearly died of undiagnosed heart failure last year. He had to have a heart transplant but now my entire family has gone vegan. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wonderful story. I found you through Krocks in the Kitchen. 👍👍
Awesome job - both in what you have done and how you shared it in this video. I'm going on two years on the diet and have also seen big improvements my numbers and overall health as well as near elimination of angina (without stents).
Wonderful to see.
All the best to You!
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I'm glad I found your channel and am discovering the amazing whole-food, plant-based recipes you share with us.
Thank you for your story really enjoyed it and your puppy’s are fine I am going to watch you know love your recipes you have helped me thanks sweetie ❤️❤️
I am so happy you found Forks Over Knives and Dr. Greger! You are a shining star! Thank you for sharing your story.
I have the same last name.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! It's helped me to feel empowered to take control of my health. 😊❤
Thank you so much fo sharing! I needed to know I was not alone.
Thank you for sharing your story!
I’ve only been watching you for 1/2 year, but I use every recipe you show. I’ve been WFPB no SOS for 3+ yrs. and appreciate all your delicious recipes adding to my food repertoire. It’s nice to hear your story. I have similar gene threats and family members with the same maladies. We can only do what we can do. Hopefully having them see results and seeing that food choices are do-able will sway them. My condolences on your Mom’s passing. 😪 Keep up the great content.
Thanks for sharing your story ! It really resonated with me as I am just starting my plant based diet and am about the same height as you are , gone through all the same weight loss journey with no results.
What a FANTASTIC video!!!!! You are an inspiration!
Thank you so much! New sub, I found you by way of Krocks in the kitchen. Been doing whole food plant based since July 1,2019. Lost 15 lbs , but what is truly amazing is non scale victory goes to arthritis pain is non existent . I was like wait , what ! No pain!
I had similarly bad blood lab work when I was 23. I ignored it not really realizing how bad it was. My mom was hospitalized last year due to heart problems and her blood pressure was over 260 over 190. Luckily she survived and is slowly getting better.
I'm glad I was able to learn about WFPB diets and how quickly they can promote help. I'm only a couple months into eating WFPB and look forward to the continuation of good health.
Awesome video, and very reassuring!
Thank you for sharing your powerful story! I also adopted this WFPB lifestyle because I don’t want a future of pain, preventable diseases and medications. What you said about your diet expanding after going plant-based is so true!
This journey is finally feeling right for me. I started with Eat To Live and had some limited success...especially with how I feel. Now I am eating a few more grains and starchy foods. I found you through Krocks in the Kitchen, and I am so glad to follow you. Cancer is not fun, it is hard to recover. I want to give myself every chance for that. Choice is our daily right. I am so sorry you had to watch your mother’s cancer journey. You will help many of us cancer boob girls eat healthier. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing your story. I have been vegan for 2 years now and am looking to reduce my SOS intake. I have found your videos both helpful and informative. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for sharing your story. I've subscribed and look forward to trying some of your recipes.
Just subscribed! Wonderful video! I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. 😢
