Chef AJ, I have to say that this is one of best interviews I've ever seen on your show. Rebecca is so lovely! She has obviously spent some serious time learning to get at the root of some of the issues that drive her challenges with keeping at a healthy weight. I really appreciated how forthcoming she was with her personal struggles. Thank you for sharing her with us!
Thanks for posting your story with all its ups and downs. I can relate to how childhood trauma can later in life translate into emotional eating for comfort.
OMG!! Thank you! I have struggled since I was ten years old. I am 52 now and believe this is what I have been looking for. Sounds like I need JP too! Food has been my everything. I don’t know how I have escaped from more severe health issues! Thank you for sharing Rebecca! Thank Chef AJ!
Thank you for sharing your life so openly, our lives are very similar and you are encouraging I’m so happy for you to be successful. I’m older than you and still struggling.
I relate so much to Rebecca's journey. I started transitioning to WFPB on July 30th. ❤️ Thank you Chef AJ and Rebecca! BTW. You do look like Linda Ronstadt!
I absolutely loved hearing everything that Rebecca had to say, what an inspiration and testimony! I just wanted to share with her that The Crappy Childhood Fairy on CZcams really helped me, and if she hasn’t watched her, she might absolutely love her! Thank you Rebecca, for sharing so much!
This is the most helpful interview I've seen lately, and you do a lot of helpful videos AJ! Thank you to you and Rebecca, both! I'll be watching this again. PS @Rebecca -- enchiladas is a family favorite, and I still haven't found a good SOS free recipe. I'd love a cookbook, and hope you'll include your principles of converting traditional recipes!
Rebecca is amazing and inspirational. Please invite her back regularly. We need to hear success stories like hers. She reminds me of Shada, determined to succeed. Love these ladies and thank you Chef AJ for helping all of us to succeed.
I was never big until I hit 40’s. Lost 25 lbs the first time. At 50 had another 25 lbs to lose and now I have 30 to lose at 62. The last weight came on from stresses of parent’s death. It’s more of a struggle now! I’ve been a fat vegan for 4 years. Now I’m WFPB! I love it. Down 3.3 lbs in 2 weeks. Sugar addiction here. My new motto is BUT DIDN’T. I may have wanted it, but didn’t!
I’m the same age as Rebecca and I’m also Mexican. It’s so difficult to explain to some of my family and friends what I’m doing. It would be great to have some great vegan Mexican recipes in my back pocket. I hope she comes out with a cookbook! I’m also in the Pasadena area!
What was the salsa from Costco please? I do the same kind of ‘Mexican’ salad and use salsa for the dressing but would like to know her brand. Great video week
Please tell us the name of the movie Rebecca mentioned, I listened 3 times and still couldn’t catch it. 😜 Thank you so much for sharing your story Rebecca, it inspires me to keep trying. I’ve been working on “transitioning to WFPB” for 12 years now. SO many excuses and so much self-sabotage. Your story was so relatable to me. PLEASE write the cookbook! Bless you!!
Rebecca, PLEASE do a cookbook. I'm so much into Mexican food and so many of us are. We need your recipes!!! You make tortillas with potatoes?!
Rebecca is remarkably self-aware. What a beautiful story!
Many thanks to Rebecca for telling her story -- and to Chef AJ for having her on the show!
Love all your show

This interview blew me away. What tenacity!
She's great, so honest and inspiring. I'd love to see a vegan Mexican food cookbook if she ever writes one.

this woman is telling so much of my own story.....I can relate to soooo much!

Wow I love her! You have the sweetest sisterly relationship! I see so much of my own behavior in her journey so this gives me hope.
Rebecca does look a lot like Sally Field and Valerie Bertinelli, but to me I would have said Linda Ronstadt!
What an Earth Angel Rebecca is ! Loved this show 🙂
Thank you for sharing your story, Rebecca. Congratulations on your success, you are an inspiration!

I would love to have an enchilada sauce without salt. The biggest problem I find is finding a good red sauce without tons of salt.👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
