We recently embarked on a 10-day potato-based diet called “Mary’s Mini.” We originally set out to complete 10 days of this “challenge,” but decided to extend it an extra 8 days. In this video, we give a recap of what we’ve been eating, how we’ve been feeling and how much weight we’ve lost!

I adore the two of you. Even if a viewer/subscriber doesn't have your amount of weight to lose, you are inspirational in life and grit and positive relationships.
Thank you
❤️❤️

You prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
The "Griddler" sounds like a Batman villain! But I know that Brian makes it sing with hashbrowns.
Tobiwan Skenobi - haha I got a chuckle every time I heard them call the griddle that. : ) I tried the McDougall recipes about 35 years ago when he was practicing in Hawaii.
I thought the same thing! Haha! And since this plan is egg-free, there won't be a "yolker" either. 😱
@@FlyinFergie Very good! Hahaha
Or one of those 80's McDonald's cartoon character
Omg yes! 🤣
The hashbrown casserole and cheese sauce sounds amazing. Can't wait for the video!
I so know how you feel about the weight thing, Brian. It has been since my late teens/early 20s since I was under 200. I am now 53 and when I went below 200, I was ecstatic and actually did a mini happy dance about the house. I am still dealing with body dysphoria though and haven't allowed myself to get rid of clothes from my 200+ years. I guess I just always have this thought in the back of my mind that I will regain the weight because all other "diets" that I have tried and failed have resulted in gaining all the lost weight back plus more. But I know now that being on a WFPB SOS diet isn't really a "diet" at all, it is a lifestyle and I don't plan to go back to eating crap. Thanks again guys for an amazing update on your MM. You two are so inspiring and I cannot wait to try that new cheese sauce!
Thanks for watching! We have so many clothes we have been holding on to, and I think both of us are finally ready to get rid of them! We can totally relate - we have gained and lost so many pounds over the years. It is hard to convince yourself that this time is different. But it is truly a lifestyle switch and we now KNOW how to do this. There's no excuse to gain it all back this time!
I'm with Brian - delicious flavor derived from healthy foods/ingredients is a very very good thing! A blessing even!
Enjoy!
I understand Jessica on condiments. Potato master and so much more. I feel like the extras are why I don't feel like I'm losing weight. I need a scale. How do you store all the prepared veggies? Brian with the bag of tators. lol loved it. I love experimenting too. Thanks, your attitudes are great considering what you challenges you go for.
Your videos have really inspired me! I think I'm going to try doing Mary's Mini again. What kind of air fryer do you use. I have a small kitchen with limited counterspace. Love you, guys!
Love your videos. So happy for you both.
Liked the video as soon as it started cuz I know the content is always great. Love seeing you guys accomplish and surpass your goals.
Good job guys. Great stories or realizations 👍👍
Seriously you guys are awesome! You seem the happiest you’ve been and it’s really funny to see you talk about BMs Jessica! Going on walks and finding ways to move around can help that more than any food or supplement... etc. You have to remember that women have different bodies than men and even that aspect is apart of the way things work inside of us. Also it could just be your bodies way of slowing down those nutrients so that they can absorb. Good to hear Beck was a good show, he totally deserved that Grammy. Congrats on loosing a whole person, and happy early birthday! Sounds like you’ll have some fun planned. Maybe some Italian potato recipe video in the works? Sounds delicious.
How do you make potato puffs in the oven? Is there a video or recipe somewhere? I can't find it on your website. Thank you for your excellent videos!!!
Well you two have me thinking about trying this out. You recipes look really good! Btw a "squatty potty" is very helpful, even cheaper you can use a pair of foam yoga blocks for the same effect.
FUNNY STORY! Brian gave me a squatty potty for my birthday a few years back! LOL! I love that thing 😅
I would suggest replacing the cravings with new activities that trick the mind out of habit. Try dancing a set dance move before eating the same meal... change the dance mood each meal... or listen to same song every breakfast - thenv3 days later change it up. The whole point is to redirect the focus of the mind from the food at mealtime to some other focus. It seems crazy but it really works. Can be as simple as changing the wall you face with each meal:)
Why did you choose potatoes over rice or another starch? And for the record some people need more fat than fiber to keep things moving. That is me. Try some HCI, and digestive enzymes and oxbile. Also you can try some Natural Calm. That will get things moving!
Great job! I love my salads. I love salads more than potatoes. Or rice or corn. So I’m not very confident that I could do this for five days. Because then things will start to slow down and I would get crabby so I feel your pain Jessica 😆
Are chipotle peppers in adobo sauce allowed?
@Alexi Holford... I want a Brian too!!!!!
So happy for you two:)
Mashed potatoes with nutritional yeast, roasted garlic and onions stirred in then seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Why not make mashed potatoes and stir in salsa and some of that *cheese* sauce.
When you're back eating hummus stir some hummus into the mashed potatoes.
I wanted to know if these diets are safe for people like me with high blood pressure? I need to lose weight but I want to make sure they are safe.
Your will power to carry on is inspiring. I need to see if any supermarkets sell hash browns near me... And tell us the secret of the potato puffs Brian!! Jessica stop torturing yourself! I don't know what you did in your past life that means you want to punish yourself constantly but you're forgiven! Eat the 'not cheese sauce' !! 😂 😂 😂
LOL! Thanks... haha I will try to enjoy my "cheese" sauce!
@@KrocksInTheKitchen I went shopping yesterday looking for a a small panini press but ended up ordering off amazon.. Hash browns here I come!
Lol I know what will move things, beans, some good ole beans should do the trick!
I’ve just subscribed to your channel and am somewhat addicted. I’m about 400lbs and long to be less!
If we can do it, anyone can! Keep us updated on your progress!
You can do it!!! I know it is probably the biggest challenge of your life, but it is SO worth it. Send you lots of good mojo.
This is a great way to lower you weight. I started this and I have lost 50 lbs so far. It's an adjustment but I feel so much better!!
Me as well. They give me such hope that it is obtainable.
You’ve got this ❤️
I want a Brian!!!!
I've got dibs if Jessica ever wants to swap him out for a bit; he can cook great weight-loss food for me, and Jessica gets my cake-baking wife for a while! Already been agreed #sorrynotsorry #waityourturn lol :P
LOL!!
Me too :) !!!!
Alexi Holford we all have a crush on Brian 😍
Agreed, he is a sweetie pie and eye candy :)
You guys are awesome! I look forward to these video's
Thank you!!
I’m starting a plant-based journey. I am so glad to have found your channel! Since I retired on May 1st and have the time to cook now I am finding it difficult to get my tiny kitchen and pantry set up for vegan eating! I don’t own any appliances other than the oven and fridge. I have been practically living at the Amazon and Vitamix websites, lol, and finding and watching different vegan channels to watch. You two are SO real and down-to-earth, I just love it! Thank you for being here and thank you for being such an inspiration for me! 🙏♥️
Thank you so much

Vegan physician and don't bother if you doing it for their reason to lose weight only. The world doesn't need another I'm doing it to lose weight vegan and I have sent them to another Channel and two other studies regarding the doctor's plan they are following and he has been debunked for the last I don't know how many years. It is a safe way to get yourself sick! Most people can't follow his advice and be okay. Dr. Elizabeth MD Ph.D
@@elizabethshaw734 um, hello? excuse me? whos been debunked?? i musta missed something? you sent who to where for what?? (please explain)
Elizabeth Shaw What a horrible thing to say - the world doesn't need another I'm doing it to lose weight vegan. Anyone can be vegan for whatever reason they want, and people can lose weight how they want. You're not the boss of anyone here, not to mention insinuating that the world doesn't need someone. Awful, just awful. And what "doctor" has grammar like this: "if you doing it for their reason to lose weight only." And the next sentence is total gobbledygook. I don't believe you graduated from college, much less medical school.
Cookbook soon? Krockbook, of couse?
Love that :D
Agreed.
Congrats on the weight loss! I know how you feel Brian! When my weight dropped into the 200’s again I felt so happy. It had been decades in the 3’s for me. Now I am at 220 and looking to the 100’s. So exciting. You both inspire me. We turned vegan 2 years ago and are feeling fine. I am not sure about the Mary’s mini...but still thinking about it.
Thanks Barbara! Mary's Mini has been interesting for sure... I'm glad we did it, but I'll be so happy to get back to our normal WFPB diet!
I am so happy for you guys. You both are such a blessing and I also look forward to your videos!
Brian needs to write a cookbook and make cooking vids. You two are so cute together.
I just love you guys and your channel. Eric and I are on day 7...so far so good. I laughed when you said lots of hash browns...yep, same here!
I love how excited Brian looked when he stated he can carry Jessica. That just touched my heart. I'm so incredibly happy for you both. Well done!
I would love to see you using the griddler in your video.
Yes please do a cooking video for the hash browns on the griddled. I have a griddled and would like to see you make them before I try it.
They have a great video on that!
I tried the brand new vegan cheese sauce. HOLY MOLY! love it more than the cheese sauce i had been using which uses cashews. Im so glad i can now get away from the high fat/calorie cheese sauce.
It is crazy good!!
What is the recipe for the “brand new vegan cheese”? I’m interested in it very much. Night after night of dry cooked veggies and nothing to put on them. Uggh.
@@Kathy_Is_Blessed go to brand new vegan youtube channel! They have quite a few recipes, the cheeze sauce is the only one ive tried though.
Ashlie Jones
Thank you so much!!
What is the cheese sauce?
I'd like a demo on the Griddler, I just bought one :)
Loved the dance break! Great video. Congratulations on your continued success!

Stop by our Instagram page and say hi! instagram.com/krocksinthekitchen/
Thank you for another good vid. With the brocolli or the cauliflower. Had you tried the quick soup Gordan Ramsey did. Blanch them till tender then transfer the veg into a blender and use the blanching water. I would believe thats approved.
Ooh great idea! We will have to check that out!
Congratulations on your success! I am hopeful that you’ll do one final recap video when you finish the 18th day. Thank you for sharing your journey. I’m beginning my Mary’s Mini tomorrow. I’m in the middle of baking russets and Yukon Gold potatoes, washing kale, chopping broccoli, cabbage, and lettuce for a few days. You’ve also inspired me to share my experience on TH-cam and Instagram. I’ll be sure to tag you in my posts. You both are AMAZING!
🙌🏾🥰🥔🥦🥬
Awesome, we will be following along :)
You two (and Peef!) are Amazing! I love your channel and am so glad to have found it. Thank you for being so real, open, honest, and inspiring.
Thank you so much ❤️
512.2 combined is incredible! Congratulations!
Brian buddy you are motivating as fk man, this man is under 350 and putting that work in. God damn
Please don't blame G-d for anything! There are a whole world of words in the English language that don't involve 4 letter words that describe any and all emotions! Try it sometime! You will be amazed!!
@@nunyabizness54 my thoughts exactly
Congratulations! You two are delightful to watch. Thank you for sharing your super successful journey with us.
Thank you ❤️
I would love the griddler video. I just bought one because of your videos, but haven't used it yet.
U 2 need your own Netflix show...your awesome
Congratulations on your milestone! Losing one whole person! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I enjoy your videos! And I also share a birthday with Brian! I am a few years older though! 😉🙃
I love your videos. And the results from your Mary’s Mini is AWESOME!!
Try taking the basket out when you make the puffs (so have them in the bottom) and shake/flip half way through cooking.
You have probably heard this before, but I think it’s worth repeating, ‘ You Krocks Rock!’ What a journey! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Awww thank you Beth ❤️
Super fabulous milestones! I almost got emotional myself when Brian said that this was the first time in two DECADES that he was below 350. I’m so happy for you both that together you’ve lost a “Jessica!”
Thank you ❤️
So inspiring. I’m headed out to shop tomorrow to follow Joel Fuhrman eat to live plan for the next week. An awful lot of food. Do you guys find it to be very expensive? I’ve been vegan for 7 years, but not healthy whole food plant based. I’m looking at the quantities of food and wondering g how much this is going to cost me. 😬
OMG I just bought a Griddler and would love a demo! Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Make some vegetable soup and either pour it over the baked potato or put a cut up already baked potato in your soup. Just as idea. Love your videos. Like your ideas.
Great idea!!
That’s what I do!
Agree, I do this too and it’s awesome.
Yesss Brian please do a griddler demo!! And a recipe video for the potato casserole you posted on Instagram ;)
Belated congratulations and I just realized that the normal weight for me is supposed to be 120 (5ft 4) and I've lost 120 lb I've lost one normal size of me
Try MagO7 to get things moving. It doesn't cause any stomach cramping. Also CALM is a good magnesium product to mix with water and drink every evening to keep things moving .
Could you make a potato soup?
Have you made a no oil German potato salad? Red, green onion, celery and steamed red and or yellow potatoes? Make a dressing with rice vinegar dill, mustard lemon and black pepper
No! Great idea though!
i went and got one of those griddlers, would much appreciate any and all recipies you guys use it for.
No wonder shes so skinny! Geez! Did u hear what he said ?? i still cannot believe it! I've never heard anything like it (from a man) IN MY LIFE! He said to her.....JUST TELL ME WHAT U WANT TO EAT AND I WILL COOK IT FOR YOU!! *Gasp* Like...WOT the HELL shop did you buy him at Jessica?? Come on! Spill! And are they all sold out or what?? *shakes head in disbelief* & sighs like Sir Richard Attenborough when he discovers a remarkable new species in the wild....."EXTRAORDINARY!!" Ok, now listen, i Love both of you guys equally right? (ok and Peefyboy) *rolls eyes at self* And seriously guys, i dont think i could get thru without your videos now that im fully addicted to y'all right? (but not in a creepy way! lol) AND even though... i too am a very lucky ducky Jess (cos i have a mighty handsome, fully kind and loving man of my own) BUT.... I STILL gotta say to you Jessica ....sometimes....(like when your Honey says... JUST TELL ME WHAT U WANT TO EAT AND I WILL COOK IT FOR YOU!) ...well...sometimes....it takes all I've got to keep it together keep it together keep it together, and NOT let myself chuck a giant jelly tanty at you! HONEST to God, you are one lucky girl! Signing off now, keep the videos coming Krocks, cos we sure do appreciate them! xox
Castledark Dweller ❤️
Jessica you should try adding psyllium husk to your diet, it really works to get the moving going lol
Thanks 🤣
Yes that will work!!! 💩💩💩
you will definitely have to up your water intake big time then , though, else it may backfire
I’m currently in my day 4 of just ‘ potatoes’ would you guys recommend for me to do Mary’s mini instead!? Aka adding veggies!? Did you guys were bloated in the beginning!?
I've heard there is definitely a difference between brands of nutritional yeast. To all who may read this, If you please, will you tell me your favorite brand? TIA for your help! I really appreciate it! Valerie in Colorado
bforgiveness:
Great question! There are so many brands and then there is fortified or non-fortified as well. Still learning here so I haven’t even bought any yet. 🙃
Jessica, I have a major problem with the “moving” thing, lol, even when I’m eating healthy. Any suggestions for me?
I'm doing my first Mary's Mini right now. I'm doing rice. I absolutely love potatoes and tend to overeat with them so will do that last. I'll eat normally for 10 days when I'm done with the rice, then will do corn, then 10 days normal and then 10 days potato.
"They will be good!" - follow the griddler potato mastery
Great job.. I was quitting with this till these 10 day videos of yours. A big thanks Krocks.
I'm so use to the new you now Jessica. You are so beautiful inside and out. You have encouraged me to buy the book eat to live and the large soup/chili pot, it will be here Sunday.
What am I dong wrong... there is nothing on the WFPB diet that I think is "sooo good," Most everything is semi-edible, but nothing tastes very good at all.
Hey guys, I want to switch from a "normal" diet to a whole food plant based diet, do you recommend Mary's Mini as a way to kick it off?
Hi Brian and Jessica, I just found your channel a few days ago and you are terrific! I have been following Dr M for a couple of years now but have been struggling a bit to stick with it. I find your videos inspiring! I wanted to comment on Jessica's feeling that Mary's Mini should be bland and boring. I would disagree with that. It seems Mary and her family spend a lot of time developing recipes that allow us to improve our health while keeping our taste buds interested and I don't think either she or Dr M would want us to make ourselves eat bland food. One suggestion: Why not email Mary and ask her about it? They are both wonderful about answering questions. Once again, thanks for your videos and keep 'em coming! And, yes, I would love to see a video about the Griddler... :)
I really love sliced zucchini and squash roasted with nooch (nutritional yeast)! Crispy and savory!
Guys why don’t you do a combo video and show us how you do the baked potato puffs in the oven and the hash browns? Do you have any tips for another cooking method for the hash browns? I don’t own a griddler. Thanks for the motivation!
how do you cook your hashbrowns and make them taste great. do you add seasoning and what is griddler set on? I just did a batch, but seemed so so until I dipped in spicy ketchup. I mean it was ok,, but seemed blah. also they dont have that healthy brand in Texas.
What's a griddler? Is it like a waffle iron? Thank you!
Jessica’s objection to salsa and flavoring is worrying me, I don’t want another vegan TH-camr to battle with orthorexia. 😢
Thanks for the concern - I'm fine, I promise! I think during this challenge, it has been so easy for us, I felt like I wasn't being strict enough at times... but either way, I'll be happy to get back to our normal whole food plant-based diet where I don't feel restricted at all :D
HungryHappyHippie What is that and who is battling it?
Ya’ll are doing so great! 💚👌🏻🌱🙌🏻
Yes we want the Griddler explanation! I've seen a couple videos now describing how it's done, but never what settings are used or how long to do it for.
So happy of you guys, and Brian you should be so proud. You are awesome 👏
YOU BOTH ARE A FABULOUS INSPIRATION THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING
You both are so sweet and kind peeps. I'm cooking potatoes right now to make mashed potatoes to have some with Broccoli and corn, with a little tapatio.
made your mashed potatoes, left them a little chunkyadded twice the broth. a thick soup. sliced some more thinly and made chips to go with the soupyum
My hubby and I love watching you guys! We just came across your channel for the first time about a month ago. We are starting our first marys mini august 6th and are so excited and inspired by you guys! We did a 10 day juice fast to "detox" when we first went vegan 19 months ago and that makes this look easy 😂 you both look amazing. The amazing humble potato!
Yes please! A demonstration
You think I could have an oats/roasted red bell pepper based cheese sauce on Mary’s Mini? Or would the oats count as a second starch so I couldn’t have it? (Not planning on picking oats as “the” starch for the mini) I just love Jill’s Game Changer Cheese Sauce! 😆
Yeah, oats would be a separate starch. 🙂
I'm so glad I came across your channel! I love all your videos!!!
Try raw veg with hummus! Yum. I'm jealous of the size of your work space... see that space between your fridge and stove? that's how much counterspace I have in my kitchen
you'll really reach the next level when food becomes less about "eating for fun" and more about "eating for health". at that point, the feeling of extreme health and overflowing vigor will be overcome boredom with diet choices. Youll choose more interesting and engaging pasttimes - eating wont be a hobby - it will be fuel for your real passions.
What could take the place of nutritional yeast to make the "cheese" sauce taste good. I can´t get it here in Perú.
Maybe roll your potato puffs in instant mashed potatoes or potato starch so they won’t stick in the air fryer.
Just found your channel, I'm so excited going to binge watch your videos, trying to learn all I can. Can't wait to try recipes. Thanks for making videos!
How great would it be to have a guy that cooks for you!! Lucky girl Jessica
Amazon sells parchment paper made for the airfryer . Has holes for ventilation. Might help the puffs from sticking.
I used a hole punch to make some at home LOL. Worked pretty well - but Brian seems to really like the baked puffs more... need to experiment!
Great video guys. I’m starting my mini tomorrow. I’ve lost 75 lbs but and trying to drop the last 10.
I appreciate your modesty in this world full of tell all ☺! I'd try Kevita drinks they seem to help people.
Thanks :)
Very inspirational & loved the moment where you said you had been carrying her around with you and not just in your heart! Happy Birthday, Brian - I know it's pre-emptive but just in case I miss any posts on the right day!
Hey! You promised the cheese sauce recipe. Am I missing the link?
AND - Let me tell you - when you get a little older, the poop discussions become a highlight of your day. I'm 51 and my mom is 88 (with friends in their 90s) so don't be shy. You're talking about what you put IN your body, it's only natural to talk about what comes OUT of your body :-)
and around 25:30 - I teared up. Congratulations
My grandma used to make potato pancakes out of leftover mash potatoes.
