300 Pounds Down: Former 800 Pound Couple Reacts To Their 2 Week Potato Diet Video
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- We started our diet back in June 2018 with two weeks of nothing but PLAIN baked potatoes, inspired by Penn Jillette and Ray Cronise. In March 2019, we posted our very first UA-cam video titled "800 Pound Couple Tries Potato Diet For 2 Weeks." In today's video, one year later, we decided to watch that video again and add in our reactions/commentary. We hope you enjoy!

Let us know if you have questions for our upcoming Q&A with Ray Cronise (aka Cray Ray from Penn Jillette's book) & Julieanna Hever! Please use #question on your comment below to ask a question.
Krocks In The Kitchen I met them last year and said you guys are my favorite vegan couple. Ray cringed. I was to know why he doesn’t consider himself plant based. BTW you guys are also my favorite plant based couple. Congrats on 1 year on Utube.
PS..you guys look amazing!!!!
#question I read Presto and it seems different from the advice offered in Healthspan Solution and Idiot's Guide. Why is that?
Noticed the blur, but attributed to YT streaming :)
Brian has a Jack Nicholson's Shine vibe in that video :) The really amazing thing that happened is switching from "diet" to "way of life" #question but no question, rather #comment
I am getting pretty close to my goal weight and am switching my focus to strength and muscle building. Do I really need to focus on adding protein if I am eating plenty of whole plant foods? It seems like all the vegan fitness people use protein powders.
Funny you have to do a disclaimer to consult your doctor when they are more clueless & uneducated about nutrition than we are.
I so totally agree. My doctor always dismisses me when I quote any doctor found on UA-cam, even though these doctors are as well educated as he may be. I also quote from Duke University, Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and WebMD and his response is always to poo poo my question. He even goes so far as to say he would guess most of them are not actually doctors because true doctors do not have UA-cam channels! I think it is time to seek out a DO who is open to more natural remedies instead of writing a prescription for every ailment.
I didn't even need to lose weight, I watched you guys, I did start watching you guys cuz I needed to quit smoking, I figured if people are addicted to food and can lose weight and I am addicted to smoking and need to quit smoking, I mean we need to eat so how does somebody live through this and not go completely insane and not kill someone or lose friends from it. So thats why I watched. I have stopped smoking. 3 months in. I do use lozenges still but am slowly going off those. I THANK YOU !!!
Love this!!! Congrats on 3 months!!! ❤️
Patty Cake there two things that have too happen cigarettes has to be placed in mouth and two you have two light it that two more steps then not smoke insist of leave out those two steps and success will be yours at first stick the cigarette in backwards where people can see so when they say hey it’s backwards fell a little embarrassed and place that felling on top of if you would smoke and picture people saying hey you have a cigarette in your mouth and realize it’s a mistake and cunch it out if you wait to finish a pack that mean your not gonna stop when you wake say it’s now it today and don’t fo those two steps don’t Oldnumber pack to count just do it forever after two weeks nic should be close to out of system and “craving is gonna be what you make them I quit 13 years ago just like that my girlfriend who is now my wife said she didn’t care for smoking when I asked on our first date the Isco went in garbage and I had just bought it if you think I wasted a pack I saved 13years of packs by that one sacrificing a few bucks of a new pack
@@markrodrigue9503 Ya I get it, and thank you. Just to be clear though, I did say that I have been off them for 3 months, but i will keep your advice in mind it is true if I don't put one to my mouth and if I don't light it I will be fine. For the most part I would hide when I smoked, I felt like I looked stupid doing it. Even at home I would be out side and didn't want the neighbors seeing me.
Patty Cake Congrats. I quit smoking years ago when I decided that I’d rather experience the suffering of not smoking when I wanted to smoke if that meant I’d be a non-smoker. Basically, I decided to accept the suffering and embrace it and recognize it as an important part of the process. It’s really kinda similar to only eating potatoes for two weeks. Being willing to super through deprivation to get what you really want.
Awesome
If you guys make shirts that say "cook potato. Eat potato" with your logo on the back, I will buy it and wear it regularly. It is time for Krocks in the Kitchen merch.
We need to try and start a campaign to get Penn on a segment...
I found your channel in December... I Binge watched every episode in one day. The next morning, I woke up and the house was quiet and all of a sudden, I hear 2 voices in my head " I'm Brian and I'm Jessica".
Well that's creepy 😂😂😂 Thank you for watching!!
@@KrocksInTheKitchen that's what I thought too!🤣😂
Awesome video to start my day. I'm down 130 lbs & have about 30 more to go. CONGRATULATIONS on your Health Journey ❣️🎉❣️🎉❣️
Way to go!!! 😄
CONGRATS! Amazing job! Keep on going!
Jessica looks quite unwell in that first video, almost distressed. I‘m so glad that Jessica has been replaced by the one we now know and love, who giggles spontaneously, moves easily and has glowing skin and radiant eyes.
🤩
There was a whole country that had anxiety over potatoes----Ireland. They starved to death because they had no potatoes.
Cuz the British was hoarding the taters.
Dr Gregor says you can survive on potatoes. The vitamin c and fiber content alone. But also, you are right about the British withholding food production.
Shadows of your former selves! Wow, you've come so far! Great progress, such dedication from you. Thanks for showing us all your journey, and best wishes to both of you!
We love and admire you guys.
You both are so cute before and after and the before potato conversation is cracking me up totally. I think you both were coming off a food addiction and hangry. You guys are so inspiring😀👍🏻👏🏻
so proud of you guys!
It's so much fun watching your journey. You should be very proud of yourselves for sticking to this way of eating for so long. Keep the videos coming.
Personal update. I first watched your videos on a UA-cam binge in November 2019. I started at 144 pounds. Today, June 2021, I am 115 pounds and 19% body fat. Thank you so much for inspiring me and carrying me through this process (adventure).
Awesome video! You changed so much while staying exactly the same
Fabulous! As a person who has tried a lot of crazy diets I so identified with this. The 'I'm potatoed out ' clip made me laugh out loud. I've been there. The meltdowns were so gentle they were adorable. There is just no nastiness in either of you. Love you.
This is my new favorite WFPB channel!! I have been watching your videos all day and I just think the both of you are such genuine people! Also, made Brian's chili for dinner tonight (minus the cinnamon and nutmeg, not my thing lol) and my family, including my 11 and 12 yr old daughters gobbled it up! I halved the recipe, just because I dont have a pot big enough for the whole recipe, but it still made a ton! I was sure the 4 of us would be able to eat on this for a couple days at least. There is literally only enough for 2 more bowls!! I'm trying to get the whole family to convert to this lifestyle and converting the kids is the hardest part, but not when you have recipes that they LOVE and without our old chili fixin's ie. Sour cream, shredded cheddar, and fritos! My daughter actually said fritos would ruin the chili! I did slice up an avocado and offered it if they wanted that creamy texture without using dairy.
Anyway, thanks for continuing to share your adventure, for being honest and vulnerable with your viewers and for giving me inspiration and hope that my family and I can make this transition and live healthier lives! I have only about 25lbs to lose yet, but... I have a whole host of health problems and I'm praying this will help to reverse some of the disease.
God Bless!
Brian rocks in this vlog. Jessica is a great straight woman! You guys are a great couple. You did something I couldn’t do!
I’m not WFPB, but look for these recipes because I’m lactose intolerant. I’ve followed you for a while, and just continue to love watching your “adventure “ I am on a weight loss adventure as well . So continue to inspire!!
This video is highly inspirational and hysterically funny on so many levels!!!!! Thanks for making my COVID-19 quarantine morning enjoyable. Love you guys!
❤️❤️❤️
What's funny to me is that even Jessica's voice has lost weight! It's so much higher now! Keep up the good work, you two!
I found you guys when you posted that video last year. You guys inspired me! I decided my husband and I would to the potato diet, and then found out that many potatoes don't agree with me... Then I got Dr. Furhman's book. Lost around 30lbs, and got pregnant naturally! We fell off the diet because of pregnancy, but hope to jump back into it.
Love how there’s tortilla chips on the counter to go o long with the matching outfits 😊
We strive to be accurate. 😁
Adorable 😊 Precious 💗You guys are the best💞
It's amazing to me that you didn't give up when you were on the Potato Diet. I can't imagine eating nothing but potatoes for two weeks! You were obviously determined to succeed no matter what. You have so much to be proud of.
I would like to make several comments in this video. 😊 I love your intro and am so happy it's stayed the same! I didn't at all remember the shot of all your plush toys, Jessica! And I never noticed your "arm flub" and I'm appalled that someone even commented on it - how rude! I'm glad Brian left it in though, because I think a huge part of your success is how real and relatable you both are. If Brian hadn't said, "Oh look! Our apartment!" I probably wouldn't have noticed, lol! I totally don't remember you guys bickering like that during Brian's 🥔 potato meltdown! Again, so glad you guys kept the video so real! What cute gummy bear magnets I noticed on your fridge! Brian has been fantastic at editing and video production from day one, plus I love his radio voice during the show downs! I also love your outro music and hope you never change it!
You've helped us all so much, and not just by your examples, honesty, and teaching. So many of us really feel like you're our friends, even if we only comment once in a while. You two are an amazing couple. I really look forward to your videos and wish you both nothing but happiness and success in all you do!!!💜💜💜
I love all of this 😍😍😍 thank you so much Tammy! ❤️❤️❤️
You guys look so much happier now. I can feel the depression from both of you in the past video. So happy for you both.
Congratulations, you two! Not only do you both look amazing, you’re so much healthier too. Love this channel and really enjoy your perspectives and honesty.
I'm so glad you are both sticking with it. I have to admit, I did not have high hopes for you when the first video aired. You both seemed so unhappy about the change, and a bit grumpy in general. What a difference time has made. I love watching your videos now and I am sure you have both inspired many many people to feel better and live happier lives.
So funny. I said "that was a lot of fun" at the very same time Brian did. Thanks so much for sharing this walk down memory lane. You guys are great! Inspire on...
Doing my first Mary’s Mimi and landed here! 🤣🤣🤣 Love this! You two are hysterical! Your sweet baby girl is going to 💕 this!
Thanks for sharing your adventure! I'm not trying to lose weight, but your videos just make me happy. I'm so impressed by your progress and it motivates me to eat healthier too. Greetings from the Netherlands :)
Damn I've been watching for so long! Keep putting that work in!
Thanks for your inspiration. Your channel is one of the first ones that I started listening to at the first of this year when we started changing the way we ate. For us it is mainly for health reasons (cancer) for my husband but he also needed to lose weight. We are basically doing Whole Food Plant Base with fish occasionally. I could do without the fish but it does help my husband to stay on track. Since the first of the year my husband has lost 30 lbs so that is a win! Keep the videos coming.
I have been following you both for over a year now and the main reason is that you keep it real! Like most of us, we dont have a clue and its really inspiring to see your ups and downs and also your enthusiasm to come up with new recipes and make good tasting food and learn along the way. Thanks for taking us on your "adventure"!...keep up the great work- you both inspire so many!
Thank you Debbi!
You guys are just great. I love watching you keep it up love you guys
Really great job on this, I started watching the first video and noticed some very odd things about you, different from most UA-cam video's; you didn't swear and you seemed to respect each other. It's hard for me to find things I like to watch on those conditions, I happen to like my husband and talk to him like he is an intelligent human. I have really enjoyed seeing how you have processed this adventure. I will keep watching. Thanks.
Thank you so much for continuing making videos during this trying time! It brings a little bit of normal to my life❤️
You both look and sound so different from your original video. You're such an inspiration.
123... We are the krocks in the kitchen 😂😂 This was great this video. Heaps fun. Laughter is the best medicine. Keep up the good work
🤣🤣🤣
this is great.
you guys have done such a great job! Congratulations on everything :)
Thanks so much for sharing your adventure with us. You are such fun to watch and such an inspiration! Congratulations on your weight loss and your new lifestyle.
Haha, yay happy two years!!!
You guys should be very proud of yourselves.......you both look great. Enjoy watching your videos
Your channel is my favorite go to for a truly down to earth take on maintaining a Whole Food Plant Based Diet. I found you last year when I needed help to commit to this as a lifestyle and not just a diet. Your honesty about being an ordinary couple navigating through triumphs and setbacks has been so refreshing and meaningful to me. Every week I look forward to tuning in to learn a new recipe (that chili recipe is still my favorite!), kitchen gadget, or gain a new perspective on how to incorporate this lifestyle in the real world. Your approach has always made me feel like you were old friends on a video chat with me...thank you for being so relatable and enjoyable! 🤗
Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary! 🥳 May your channel and adventure continue to be blessed!
Your comment is wonderful worded! My thoughts and feelings exactly! Love the Krocks!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
This video is great. I tried to imagine how it was in those first two weeks. Thanks for sharing.
Val Marie here! Loved you then and love you now!, So, so proud of you two! No doubt you already know The Krocks, Rock! Always know your value is in who you both truly are not your size! Blessings upon you both!
Thank you Val Marie!
I’m so happy for the two of you! I’m also towards the end of my weight loss adventure and am excited to get to the weight maintenance adventure next. Can’t wait to see that content from you! Cheers!
Other than the fact that your faces are both so slim now, I noticed that neither one of you smiled in the first video. So nice to see your smiling faces now.
Its so neat you have all this video history of yourselves. You must be so very proud of all you've accomplished in weight loss and this channel. Love you both!
Been watching you guys for a couple of years now.. Just come across this Gem! You guys are great together! Very funny and easy to watch. Love it!
That’s great. “The potatoes put me on the edge- YOU put me over the edge.”
I don't like ever comment on youtube videos but I have to say this was the best. I found your channel a while ago and I've been thrilled to follow your journey. I can't live without your smoky hummus, and Jessica your recipe for the Whole Foods kale salad is a weekly recipe. I look forward to following everything that will be upcoming and I wish you both good health and happiness.
Thanks Diane!!
I also was impressed with how kind Brian was so calm during his meltdown. What do you two do for a living? You both seem so smart. I love watching your videos! Very inspiring.
Okay, I officially don't hate ONE reaction video. I may go so far as to say I love but ONE reaction video on UA-cam. Just one. THIS one, if I'm not being clear enough.
...
And everything Dr. Mike reacts to.
But THIS one is just super delightful.
Thanks, guys
Awwww thank you! :)
so happy for you both, love your channel so much!
Thank you for sharing your lives and adventure with us. You are awesome!!
You've come a long way babies! I enjoy seeing you every week.
Brian cleans up so well especially the weight loss!
You two are so fun to watch.
Keep it up!
You’re a big encouragement to many.
Hi. I’m not sure how I came across your channel but I’m glad i did! You 2 look amazing!!
You guys both look so great now! I'm so glad you decided to make You Tube vidoes! I always look forward to my Krocks in the Kitchen videos.
Thanks Jan!
Corn is absolutely like candy! 😁
You guys are my favorite WFPB channel. So inspiring and love seeing the before and after. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you Carol! ❤️
Great video! My husband and I started a plant based diet about a year ago and your videos and recipes help keep me going! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
Love finding an old video that I haven't seen yet! You two are an inspiration. I have made two of your recipes and they were both winners for sure. I can't say that about other recipes from other youtubers. I need to try another one. Right now I have a big bowl of something (from someone else) that I need to finish. Tonight I made dinner and opened a can of black beans and I thought...I should have made the refried beans!!
An incredible year...you are inspiring....continue onward ! I was pretty plant based until the virus crisis limited my grocery visits. Now I am eating the meats I had left in the freezer with lots of vegetables. My weight is going up...no surprise there.
Thanks loved this it’s so real I enjoyed real people that share there life
OMG!!! I literally laughed so hard viewing this video of you both. I realize I started watching your channel several months ago and was really curious to the HOW you lost so much. Seriously, I have about 35 lbs I have to get off my body and my son is needing to get about 90 lbs off his body. He has hypertension and I worry about him alot. But the potato diet may not seem like a solution for him bc of his condition. You all should be very proud of your commitment to the weight loss as well as your commitment to each other. It's inspiring and I enjoy all your videos. Keep posting!! BTW you all are made to be in front of the camera!! Many blessings to you! (I'm keeping videos of recipes you post) Determined it may be the smartest way to get healthier! 💕 One of your subs from Texas😎🙋
The potatoes were emotional enough, but the rest of the two years have been emotional too. But the experience you’ve gained and the insight too, is really what matters. So happy you guys are healthier.
Very inspirational! And, I ♥️ the Krocks in The Kitchen song singing!
hahaha we sing it all the time 🤣
Great video. Loved the trip down memory lane. You continue to inspire and delight!
I’ve been watching for a year already?? You two are still doing great and I really needed this at the time to restart my diet change for the better. Thank you two for just being yourselves, it has helped me through my toughest moments!
This is the best of all the video so proud of both of you
So inspiring. I love looking at the "old" yous compared to now..I found an old fat picture of myself (hard to find. Most of those pics didn't survive) and Jessica, I totally get the arm comment. The arms are the most shocking part, aren't they? You wouldn't think so, but maybe it's a girl thing. Anyway, I'm so proud of you guys. Thanks for the react. 😊#question for CrayRay... since you are sos free do you have any favorite seasonings?
Thanks Doleta! Great question for Cray Ray! We'll definitely ask! Arms suck. LOL.
I do the same with my potatoes. We make a bunch in the air fryer, then put them in the fridge to eat for several days. You guys have inspired me to do a restart! We went camping this weekend, ate all the chips and whatnot. I feel yucky from eating yucky. I watched your two videos with Ray and Julieanna and I ordered the book 😊
Incredible inspiration... You both look so amazing thanks for sharing yourselves and your fur babies. Sending buckets of love ♥️♥️♥️
Congratulations! You are my favorite vegan couple. I love the positive energy. I go to sleep rather late especially these days, and often wait for your video. You look great. Greetings from a francophone from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.😘
Happy UA-cam birthday!!
I appreciate your channel. You folks hav helped me stay on a plant based menu.
Great to hear! Thank you!
You guys look so good. Congratulations on the new you 💖
Great to see you both are still going strong! Thank you for your inspiration.
I love you guys! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing adventure with us!
You my dear, are beautiful ❤️ at any weight! So pretty 😍 happy that you filmed this too!
I love your intro. It always brings a smile to my face. You both look SO different now :-)
Thanks Rose!
Best video ever! It is so easy to forget how far you've come. Kudos and congratulations.
You two have made such great changes for better health! I am impressed by you both and I am going to try the potato diet, what about my coffee??? Sticking to a diet such as the potato diet is not easy! I love potatoes but I am sure I will be sick of them after two weeks. THanks for sharing your personal life with us!!
Loved watching your reactions to your first video. You should be very proud of your progress since then.
Look forward to the Q & A video. I need to get on track to lose weight and improve my life through diet and lifestyle changes. Stay safe & be well. God bless.
You two are so funny, thanks for the distraction of what's going on. God bless!
How fun you guys!! You've both come so far LOVE YOU ❤🙋!!!!! Peef you little scamp 😂😂
Don't know how you ate plain potatoes for two weeks. That's impressive self control. Pretty sure I couldn't do it. Congrats on your progress.
You can do it, I was able to do it after I found Krocks in the Kitchen. Good luck!
1200 kcal is a starvation diet. Brian was very good in understanding what it was all about. EAT THE POTATO ;)
You 2 are fabulous thank you so much for sharing
You NEED to market a T shirt with “Cook Potato -Eat Potato “ on it. I would buy it!
Pat Mesenchuk I would buy that lol
Yes! You guys are still on the right track. This was so fun to see again
You guys are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing - blessings to you both!
You guys are great fun to learn and try from the best
Y’all look so much better now. You look younger now. You look happier now. Keep it up. You are inspiring more people than you know. Blessings.
Has it really been only a year? Love y'all's videos 🤗
