Thank you for watching. I'm Chef AJ and I make healthy taste delicious.
I watched several later episodes a couple years ago just before Chef discontinued them so decided to come back to the beginning. I understand there are 260 episodes, so one a day will get me through them in less than a year (with some days off for good behavior!
Hearing and seeing your beautiful self. Thank you for taking the time to help those who will accept it.
God Bless you.
Thank you for putting this on CZcams. I cannot watch the live version, due to internet restrictions. Love your passion for Wfpb education. Keep up the good work!
loved this, fastest 55 minutes I have spent in a long time. thank you. count me in next Wednesday. I am already. a vegan for 5 months and actually have gained 5 pounds, but love vegan. I eat avocados and nuts daily. I will quit.
"would you rather see me or hear me" .. fantastic :P
You are such inspiration! Love, Love, Love, Thank you, You are so appreciated!
Like your videos very much.
Thanks, John
Nothing but the truth, the whole truth here…she has her finger directly on it! No BS!!!
Hooray! So glad you are posting on CZcams again. I have missed you. I am finally two weeks dairy and egg free the last of my animal products. I so appreciate your contribution to my plant based journey. I just cannot believe the difference in my appetite.
AJ. What makes you so helpful to me is how clear, direct, and unapologetic you are. This info is out and available, but I keep your videos at the top of my replay list (on while I do housework, etc.) as my renewal of motivation to stay on track. I love my body and this lifestyle. Thank you, AJ
Chef AJ, I'd just like to let you know that though I tried to become vegan last year, but it wasn't until I started watching your videos and teleclasses/interviews with all the brilliant doctors that I could stay compliant with a vegan diet, and now an SOS free vegan diet! I've never had a health or weight issue, but I see my mum suffering from cancer and your videos are what comfort me when I feel so stressed that I want to turn to my "comfort" foods. I just restarted watching from episode 1, while waiting for this week's Weight Loss Wednesday.
Thank you Chef AJ. My dream is to meet you all one day.
P.s. I've been watching all the way from South Korea :) So greetings from this end of the world!
That is fantastic!
You're my hero, Chef AJ! Thank you for uploading these videos to CZcams. They really help me to keep going.
Love listening to you as I work on my computer, you are so motivating and hopeful (your backstory is frighteningly similar to my own). I have that wonderful DRD2 gene. You're breaking the stigma associated with food addiction, and I appreciate this so much. Thanks for all that you do, Chef AJ, you are an earth angel.
Wow this is so interesting ,thanks Chef A J ,Jill N Z
You are SO beautiful! Your vitality is off the charts!! I'm gonna put a photo of YOU on my vision board! I am so blessed to have found you! Thank you so much for giving your time to do this. xxoo
Thank you so much!
yes, salt and sugar together! I find they go hand in hand with triggering. Thank you for sharing, it is such an eye-opener.
Going to binge watch all these episodes....
I don't binge on them, I watch them regularly to help keep me on the tracks!
Yes, it is so much easier to stay compliant than starting from scratch! Thank you for the great lessons you are teaching us Chef AJ!
Thank you Chef AJ for your inspiration!! I have been following your videos and I love all of them and mostly am learning so much from you !!!!
You are a beautiful person inside and out!! Thank you for educating us and for all your advise for good health and weight loss ...
I mostly am having difficulty with my salt cravings -- it's so hard to have a healthy meal without taste!!!
Hoping you continue your videos so we could continue being inspired and educated on how to eat healthy!!!
Thanks again Chef AJ!!!.....Rochelle
Thank you!
Thanks for this! I will watch all your videos and get back on track!
Gla I could help
I love how our bodies lets us know when something isn’t right. A few weeks ago I ate a meal a friend had made for me (she’s trying to transition to wfpb sos free) and was so excited to have me try this recipe she found and made out. She told me she did add about 1/4 of a tsp of salt to the whole recipe which was a large batch because she’s slowly lowering her salt intake until she fells she doesn’t need it any more.
I was just like okay, 1/4 of a tsp in this whole recipe which served probably 6-8 2 cup portions so I’m like okay not too much salt, I WILL survive. lol Well, about 4 hours later I go to take my baby dog out to potty and go to slip on my sandals and they were so tight I could barely get them on! I was so swollen and bloated from just that small amount of salt in the food.
I just discovered this series. Thanks for your help! I'll be watching them all.
You are welcome!
Love this!
Thank you.
i loved your lecture u have given me alot of hope. by the way you look amaazing in close up you have great teeth and great skin so.. don't think twice of having close ups
Aww...thanks!
You are inspirational, thank you. I love that you can name the day you last ate sugar.
Thank you!
AJ, you are a hoot. Just watched the ithrive series, of which you of course were part of, so now I'm subbed to your channel and will be getting myself going on this journey. Thanks for how open and genuine you are.
This is awesome! You are such an inspiration
All this information is min n blowing to me. In my late teens I started getting a horrible rash on my chin and around my nose. I realized at 21 that I was allergic to lactose which was hard because all my mother knew how to cook was Velveeta and hamburger. During my third pregnancy I began having horrible stomach issues (I've had mega doses of antibiotics from years of tonsil infections). The doctor put me on a fat free diet because I had gallstones! I weighed 215 at 5'3"and 3 months pregnant. The next 6 months were a real drag. I ate from sun up to sun down. No dairy, no oil, no meat except for a 3 x 1 inch piece of fish a day. Everything else was fruit, veg and grains. I wish I had like beans then! I gained 20 lbs during that pregnancy. She weighed 8lbs 8oz buti was down to 160 lbs 2 weeks after birth. I wish I had understood how all this worked. I'm 53 now, 210 lbs and I'm back to the diet. Who knew this was the answer to all my health problems.
just discovered you. I have bought your books unprocessed and the secrets to ultimate weight loss which I am currently reading. I intend to browse through all your videos to educate myself further. I am looking forward to see how my body and health will change.
You are so inspiing to me, thank you.
Chef AJ, here is a suggestion of what to say the next time you say that there are bigger issues at hand: There are bigger potatoes to bake. :-)
Good analogy!
CHEF AJ Thanks!
Thanks Chef AJ - I love these encouraging videos and that you share your knowledge. I so appreciate you. ❤️
:)
Thank you to Sandra from Life on Plants for sharing this video!
FruityFoodie 👋🏻👋🏻
Great chat. I just got reading glasses at age 47, not so bad ;)
Thank you! I am so vain!
You have beautiful teeth and such lovely skin. Did u see improvement in skin after you totally gave up sugar, which is second most damaging to skin (first being smoking of course) or did you always have beautiful glowing skin.
Thanks. I had lots of town spots and they are now gone.
just new here. WOW, you are amazing! So enthousiastic , thanks!
I am excited! So much struggling here with emotional eating....Your energy is great and definitely very supporting!
Welcome!
thank you! xx
got it.
You are awesome, Chef AJ! I'm so happy to see you posting videos again. I'm presently trying to lose a late amount of weight via the Starch Solution and the more I can watch videos like yours, the better informed I am. Thank you for this! I'll be watching! ❤️😘
Great! UWL is the McDougall program for Maximum Weight Loss plus online support.
you prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
Chef AJ, what are your thoughts on eating a lot of dried dates for weight loss? Or very sweet fruit ? Many high fruit eaters say that you can eat UNlimited amounts of those and loose weight, as long as you eat them raw. thank you. They also claim that potatoes cause weight gain because it is starch. Thanks
Caloric density. Potatoes less than 400 calories per pound, dates, 1,300. Potatoes make you thin.
Can you give me a good Pesto recipe. I am addicted to it. Thanks
In my book Unprocessed there is one called Perfect Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms
Very interesting. You gave me some things to think about.
Thanks Doug!
Still struggling though! I lost 40 lb my first 15 weeks on Starch Solution. But the last 11 weeks I've gained back 14 lb. I'm still down 26 lb, but my appetite is no longer under control and I've been overeating. I'm going to try some of the hints you mentioned, like avoiding flour (udon) and sugar and see if that helps!
Oh no! Flour and sugar are drugs, not food and good for weight gain, not weight loss They are 1,500 and 1,800 calories per pound respectively. Have you considered UWL?
I was hoping to avoid that because I feel I was down that road with the Ornish heart-disease reversal program a few years ago, where I lost 100+ lb and then regained more than half of that and so cut way back on brown rice, which I felt were "wasted calories". But what was left didn't satisfy so I strayed. I was hoping that the "starch solution" was the solution, and at first I thought it was, but I'm feeling more and more that the real starch solution is "avoiding starches." But that's so hard to do. But maybe if I completely avoid flour and sugar that will help. I hope.
Dr. Kempner reversed diabetes and had people get thin feeding JUST white rice. It's not starch it PROCESSED carbs,
LoL! Scooby doo shorts! To funny.
I can both see you and hear you I lo e your video's AJ
I watched you years ago and found you again. I can see you have lost a good deal of weight. Wondered where you have been. Were you sick? Welcome back. :-) . Also I wondered what happened to the dietician Julieanne ??
Nope I was not sick
The questions:
0:58 How do you diagnose food addiction? (Food Addict- the label)
7:10 What about salt?
(Neuro adapting, tough it out or wean it down, why not to cook with salt)
27:20 Do you ever cheat or feel tempted? (Tiramisu story)
35:00 Story of Dr Goldhamer and the funny apron/bakery.
38:08 How do you stay motivated to stay compliant?
43:50 How can someone try to go vegan and lose weight, would they do calorie counting?
I don't get why popcorn is bad at around 30 calories per cup of air popped. Nobody is going to eat a pound of kernels! When I have the munchies it's my go-to for a quick crunchy snack.
It's not bad, it is just calorically dense at 1,800 calories per pound whereas corn is only 500 calories per pound. It is not unhealthy but horrible for weight loss, as is snacking in general. Eat whole corn with the water in tact, eat meals and don't snack.
I do eat corn, and not normally a snacker, but when others are glomming chips and dip, I choose to turn to popcorn or air cooked papadums, instead of vacating their company. Sometime cukes and carrots are fine, and sometimes I need something different. I understand caloric density but again, I am not eating raw, dense, kernels, they have been expanded quite dramatically into 60+ calories for 2 actual cups ...which is minimal for a long lasting, and satisfying occasional "indulgence" while still being able to enjoy the vital component of socialization.
Just wondering and please don’t get mad,,how old are you? You look young and healthy so I was sincerely wondering.
Just turned 61
@@CHEFAJ thank you for replying. You look beautiful and young...you certainly do not look 61 even though I do not consider that old by any means. 💕
what about sea-weed as salt replacement?
Sea Veggies are great! I like smoked dulse
I want to lose 30 lbs, is it a good idea to completely cut out all overt fats like nuts, avocado, tahini, etc? I'm not sure whether to eat around 10-15% or none at all. Thanks so much
None
Can I get information about how I could attend a cooking class
What cooking classes are you referring to?
I love ur videos
Thank you!
Thank you, beautiful!❤
I’m going WAY back!🤣
love it
i have been watching your videos for about a month, got my Insta pot last week. eating about 95 % right. I have notice some talk about using tortillas and pita pockets but sounds like you do not use wheat at all. is that because of a trigger, condition or ?????
I do not recommend bread or flour products, even if gluten free, for people who wish to lose weight or are food addiction. Corn tortillas are not horrible but with the water removed they are 1,000 calories per pound as opposed to WHOLE corn which is only 500 calories per pound.
thank you so much .
don't you eat dates and stevia? what's wrong with that?
Stevia is worse than sugar. I use dates in recipes
If uou have no flax chia...can i ask you ehats the name of the test you have to check dha?..
Thx
A blood test that assess you DHA, EPA, ALA, Omega 6 and 3
This is just Gold! Thank you so much Chef AJ. I am so grateful you shared this and still have this video available. 💕💕💕
Glad it was helpful!
