Amazing! Something that worked for me is having a huge salad and only then eating my 50/50 plate! Salad 🥗 is key
I wasn't losing weight either with the 50-50 plate, even with no overt fats/eating whole plant foods. I've got about 25 pounds to lose. I read your book, and decided to temporarily weigh my veggies just to make sure I was getting at least 2 pounds/get a good eye for it (I actually do 2 pounds of veg in the morning, then my starch if I'm still hungry, and then I'll do about a pound of veg in addition to my starch for lunch and dinner) and I'm finally losing about a pound a week! I realized I wasn't eating as many veggies as I thought I was! 🤯
WOW! I am also suffering from the same problem, reading your comment is very encouraging, thanks for sharing !!
Fantastic!
Yes me too ! I've actually put on weight, so I'm feeling super deflated.
I've cut out everything and only eating veggies plus potatoes. I'm wondering if I'm eating too many potatoes 🥔 and not enough veggies....
@@victoriamorrison2195 i used to eat 2 lbs of vegetables, 5 lbs of starch, and 5 serving of fruit everyday, which is more than 2200 calories, i swaped everything and now i eat 5-7lbs of vegetables and 1-2.lbs of starch, with no fruit everyday, its less than 1300 calories, see the different?
Its 1000 calorie different!
@@purpleblue1233 are losing weight now?
Soup is key, in my opinion. You can use an entire bunch of celery and two medium potatoes, and a litre and a half of vegetable stock, an onion, garlic, small chilli, throw in a bunch of kale at the end. Boil it up and blend it. Its obviously better in winter, but will keep you full like nothing else and tastes great every single time.
What do you eat for breakfast
You crack me up Chef AJ…I love that you introduced yourself (as both host and guest).
That’s what she does best: educate and entertain
Thank you for sharing Chef AJ
This information is JUST what I have been wanting!!! Thank you so much!!♥️
Thank you for ALL you do, Chef AJ.
This was an amazing show! Excellent guest today!
Excellent information! Thank you so much!
Makes perfect sense! Thank you!
In this video, I finally understood how 50/50 chainring works. My mind has been cleared and I now fully understand what I was doing wrong. Thank you Chef AJ
Hugs from Argentina
What a fabulous guest! Witty, informative and no nonsense. You are such a joy!
Thank you so much for explaining this.
This was amazing! Thank you chef AJ! I really learned so much from your great tips! 🙂👍🏻
This was an excellent program. I just keep learning from you. Thank you so much Chef AJ.
Thank-you AJ!
Your work, nutrition and cooking ideas are exactly what I was looking for. 👀
Looking forward to join your Wednesday group.☺️
Have a Blessed day! 💚
What a dose of reality, thank you!!
Very valuable info. Thank you!🍃
I’m addicted to your channel too! I learn so much and feel understood about how food addiction is Real. Your work in the world is wonderful!💖
Ha ha. Loved your introduction!! It was so cute. I am so thankful for you and everything you share. It's making a difference in this world!
"Do the least restrictive program that you can do that will give you the results you seek." I've heard you say this many times before, and it resonates every time! Thank you Chef AJ! ❤️
It’s the truth!
@@CHEFAJ Absolutely! 🙌
What if the program i can stick to IS weighing and measuring. Honestly, I can have been doing it daily since I was 23 years old. I'm 56 now. I guess I'm the outlier and clearly not normal lol. But it works for me. .
And I'm WFPB SOS. 5'6 128LBS
@@kov9331 I say do what works for you! Just out of curiosity have you tried not weighing and measuring to see what would happen? 🤔 If you're happy with weighing and measuring and it works for you, then that's great! You do you!
Thanks for this. Late 50s and looking for women my age who have had success. I have the salt starch fat issue. It's tough.
Thank you for bringing up the impact that age (20's and 30's vs. 50's and 60's) has on how our body reacts to certain dietary intake. Also- making sure every meal includes one pound of non starchy vegetables!
OMG - my FAVORITE guest today!! 😊
I've never thought about the 50/50 plate this way thank you!
You are so amazing Chef AJ. On your monologue, you are inspired. Thank you for this video
Chef AJ, You never disappoint!
Thank you so much Chef AJ you have clarified a lot for me….thank - you
I loved the way you explained the 50/50 plate! I’m 53 years old and I’m trying to apply the principles of the plant based diet so I can reach my goal, little by little! I haven’t eliminated animal products completely but that’s my goal and lose weigh as well!
This was super helpful, I’m going to implement these strategies and see what happens 😄
What kind of skin products do I use? Vegetables! Totally loves that!
I had tried counting macros in order to continue losing weight while being able to eat vegan junk food in order to indulge my addictions however it failed miserably and Chef AJ is the Queen of overcoming Food Addiction and she can be trusted!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Love you Chef!!! Thank you for all you do!! We Appreciate you!!💃🏻💕🎊
This makes total sense! I’m following maximum weight loss program but I always err on more veggies than starch. And I eat veggies with my oatmeal 😋. I’m over 50 and am documenting my progress on my UA-cam channel.
You look particularly great today! Thanks for all the great tips today.
Thank you so much for doing this today as I needed a refresh. By you showing your plate, I realized I am not eating enough veggies at my evening meal. I do at have plenty at lunch with my huge salad, which is why I want more later in the evening. I know you must get tired of saying these things but YOU say it the best of anyone! Keep preaching/teaching us please. Your into was really cute. ❤️
Yes, thank you 😊
Great video Chef AJ! Excellent reinforcement of the program and clarifying confusions and misunderstandings when people say "Why isn't the program working?"
Miss you!
Yes, makes sense!
Thank you for the tips and reminders Chef AJ🌻
You are welcome!
You are so right.when I add sos my weight loss freezes. As soon as I get back to 50/50 I start losing immediately. Thank you.
I'm a regular viewer...and I love you too Chef AJ!!!!
This is super helpful. I am coming up 41 and I'm overweight for my small 5ft1 frame. I've cut out everything, coffee, wheat, gluten, you name it, I've cut it out. I've been on the 50 50 plate about 3 weeks and I've gained weight!!! Unbelievably deflated until I watched this. I have been having way too much starch....I watch plantiful Kiki and she is wonderful but not in my age bracket, I think this was a fantastic point !
I'm going to focus on non starchy veggies and raw salads with smaller portions of starch.
Thank you, this has been a fantastic resource!
Fantastic!
How many times a day are u eating & snacking?
I have Kiki's cookbooks to and have been gaining weight this really help me a lot I'm going to weigh my salads and make sure I'm really doing 50% of each
This will work for u! Im 42 and what i do is mostly salads and i top my salads with the starches and that has helped me ❤
Love this chef aj it has helped me so much I could cry. I am slightly over weight and been stuck not quite understanding why. On a 50 50 plate. This makes so much sense thank you xxxx
Sometimes all it takes are little tweaks
You are soooo grounded now!
Very helpful
Looking forward to you having Dr. Klapper on.
Love your chat you are amazing 💕💕
"The Easy Way To Switch To A Plant-based Diet" by Michael Klapper posted on UA-cam by 'The Real Truth About Health' is where the 4 hour span between starch and fat is mentioned. Wonderful video with life-saving information. Thank you for mentioning it Chef Aj 😊
excellent video!!!
Wow, what an on the spot great video. Learned so much.
Great to hear!
Thank you for this video. It is very helpful.
You are welcome!
Yes these are THE key for weight loss and management! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge chef AJ. I absolutely loved this sit down chat style with you, where you can share all of your amazing tips!
Thank you Kate! You are a wonderful teacher of a starch based diet 💜
Aaaaaaaaaaaàà
I've been doing the 50 50 plate for 6 weeks and I feel it's working!
YOUR BEST INTERVIEW EVER! :) LOVE YOU SO MUCH CHEF AJ. YOU ARE THE BEST!!
Wow thanks and it was off the cuff
I so agree. The best one. Or, maybe I was just ready to hear it…
Thank you for your inspiration. Here is what I found recently:
Love this information. I am newly vegan and just found you. Thank you for your kind help! (Age 66, female looking to lose 30 pounds and reduce joint inflammation. Thank you!
Love this way of life💜💜💜
Your show is great and you explained everything so great
Thank you kindly
Love this chef AJ , I was one of those people eating to much starch , your demo made good sense to me eating to many calories especially with lots of rice , silly me , you explained all this very well with the 50/50 plate , love it . 👍
I just adore you, Chef AJ-- it feels like you are my friend, supporter--I have learned so much from you & all the amazing guests you have introduced us to.I buy their books,follow their advice, read all the research studies & now I have the privelege to share my gained knowledge with others Coaching in WFPB Nutrition Lifestyle--Thank You for all you do for us...You are my HERO
Awww-thank you so much!
I am so grateful you mentioned white rice being acceptable. I wouldn't allow anything but brown rice over the past year and I now realize rice is not the problem. My kids are so happy!
You're right, rice is not the problem!
Really great episode! I gained 5 pounds over my summer vaccation in July and they have not wanted to let go in August so I have been a bit concerned about what is going on. This has reminded of a few good points that had somehow managed to fall to the back of my mind. Now they are back in my conscious thinking again :-)
I quit salting my food & now losing weight again. Almost @ goal
This episode was so helpful, thank you!
You're welcome!
Medical Medium says TMJ is the Epstein Barr Virus.
AWWWW learning a lot from thanks lost 8 pounds on the 50/50 plate . 68 years old and 115 pounds Chef AJ you're amazing.....
Fantastic!
Ok thankyou I needed to hear this😩
Thanks!
Thank you! :) :) :)
Hello Chef AJ. You are wearing the earring you made. They look beautiful. Thank you for this show.
Yes pair number two!
You are just the BEST and so sweet!!!!
Legumes are indeed a starch
Awwww makes so much sense. I have about 5 pounds left to lose and I’m struggling. I will try your tip!! I am 50! Yes the struggle is real. Bring on the veggies 😄 thanks again.
Try some intermittent fasting, u will see the last few pounds just simply roll off. Even Chef A.J. doesn't eat breakfast!
I thought I knew this topic well but learned a lot here. The big takeaway for me is that the plate isn’t really 50% starch, it is 50% non-starchy veggies. Fruit, nuts, and everything that is not a non-starchy veg goes into the “starch” half of the plate.
I'm 20 minutes in and have to pause to comment so I don't miss anything. First, I can't thank you enough for this video. Last August, I was hit by a car while crossing the Street and broke 3 bones in my foot. While laid up, I came across the 50/50 plate method and decided I would go that route. Now, prior to my accident, I had released just over 175lbs from my 4'11" frame and had about 30lbs or so left to get to a healthy state. I'm 54 and this 50/50 method, along with me allowing appetite stimulating condiments back in has resulted in adding 30lbs back to my 4'11" frame. I've been feeling like I'm flopping around trying to find my footing (so-to-speak) and I need to step back, go back to what TRULY worked for me and trust the process. Saying 'thank you' doesn't seem like enough, but I hope my gratitude comes through. Now, back to the video 😁
Suzanne somers had a popular diet book years ago that was food combining. Eat fruit alone wait couple hours. No fats with starch wait 3 hours before switching to a protein/fat/veg meal. It worked for lots of people.
I’m 32 (13 years vegan and three years vegetarian before that) and also a vegan, sober chef/pastry chef! I started weight and strength training a year ago and fell absolutely in love with running, too! Still trying to lose those last 10-15lbs that’s I’ve held onto since I was a teenager and, while I’ve been familiar with all the veg doctors for years and have read all the books, it still hasn’t stuck until recently. The scale is moving slightly (I’m also putting on a lot of muscle to compete in bodybuilding in a year) but I just wanted to say thank you so much for making these videos for us. Your passion and energy is very much appreciated! Hope you have a lovely holiday!
This was so informative. I realize that my plate does not have enough non starches, especially breakfast. Thanks, Chef AJ. I do have your book for Maximum Weightloss and Unprocessed.
Just skip breakfast like Chef A.J. does! Lose more weight!
Makes sense
Yeah! I miss Chef AJ's hour long solo videos.
How do you get motivated? I listen to Chef AJ every day to remind myself to stay on course. 😊😊😊
I absolutely love you and your content. Feeling great so far. Which plant based gastro do you recommend? I’m in Maryland and have sibo.
Thank you! I don't know offhand, but here is the link to the directory: plantbaseddocs.com
I love it 🥰you are so knowledgeable 😀👍 you don't need any guest 😀thank you very much 🙏😊
You're welcome!
Just, wow. I'm in my 50s, and I couldn't understand why beans consistently caused my weight to increase. I'm going to greatly increase my greens, and eschew fats for 3 weeks. This is super helpful information. Thank you so much!
@@lisetteem588 Hi! What you're doing sounds great! For me, fruit is the easiest thing, as it's filling and satiating (particularly when I have it as mono-meal). I do have nuts several times a week before I really can't keep them in the house because I'll eat them all at once!
Thank you for saying the "fat starch combo", issue. I had to learn this through experimentation. I heard this from Dr. M Klapper youtube video about diabetes management and making it work for you. So, it does actually make a difference. Thank you. 😊
This is new to me fat starch combo. I didn't know this I'll start doing it now, maybe getting some results. Thank you
Dr Klaper explained the fat/starch issue very clearly in his video “Using food to heal”. It was a revelation to me.
@@lizziedripping71 I will look up that video. I remember him telling Chef AJ at the end of her presentation that he could tell her how to enjoy nuts, but we didn’t get to hear his explanation. Finally, the answer, both here and in the vid you referenced. Great info!
Chef A.J. You are a gem. This is a riveting video. You are such a wealth of knowledge. You really hit the nail in its head regarding the 50/50 without losing weight. I appreciate it. ♾🎆💚💎
You are very welcome
Chef AJ. Is weight loss more effective without sos I take little salt and sugar but no oil. What vinegar do you use
My blood sugar gets a hit from too much starch. I’ve got to keep it to 1/4-1/2 cup and the rest plants
Thank you, thank you for this honest reminder not to compare ourselves and our results with women forty younger than us (or men!). I wish McDougall, Forks over knives, etc in their marketing materials would rely less on the miracle stories (I lost 80 pounds in 6 months!) when the average person does not get such rapid results. It sets up unrealistic expectations (even when they have a disclaimer that not everyone will experience such dramatic results).
Acknowledging our differences and accepting that it really is harder for some people to lose weight (As in they must be more strict in adherence to get any results) can be so healing to hear. It is not that we are lazy or that we must be cheating....some people really do need to strictly avoid SOS, nuts, healthy oils, trigger foods, if they are going to make any progress. We also need to be held accountable, and if adding in some healthy fat or some salt here or there or overemphasizing the starches then we need to own up to that and make changes.
Yes... I heard Dr. Lisle say once that we should do this as an experiment. "Let's see what would happen if..."
I counted backwards 120 days from my birthday and decided to do WFPB, no SOS or processed foods for the whole 120 days. I'm 56 so I thought it would still be hard to lose weight, but I actually lost 40+ lbs in 4 months. I did this 100 % with no cheating, even on a vacation. I had never been able to do this before, but the experiment aspect of it with a certain amount of days made it doable. No arguments in my head about whether I should go off plan "just this once" because my experiment was seeing what would happen if I did this 100%.
It also allowed me an explanation when people would ask why I couldn't have something. I just said I was choosing to do an experiment.
It seems that so many people refuse to through the fat withdrawal! They are addicted to having these daily fatty foods. As long as u keep eating them, u will crave & see them show up in the magic mirror!
I do often say that the real Starch Solution is to eat less starches. :) I do have better results when I stick to mostly veggies and end my meals with maybe 300-400 grams of potatoes.
Chef AJ... I watch all your videos and love your TTAWL Summits! I just want to say that the Potatoes Only 🥔 diet is not a diet that is meant for someone to stay on long term, it's only meant to help people get off of the highly caloric, processed, SAD diet which has everyone enslaved in the food addiction/Pleasure Trap. I did Andrew's SpudFit Challenge and eating Potatoes Only 🥔 helped me cut out all my food addictions and reset my taste buds palet so that I would be able to successfully follow a WFPBNO diet thereafter. If I didn't do that prior to incorporating the WFPBNO diet (which I now follow), I never would hv stuck with it. It's easier to move up to eating tasty vegetables after a Potatoes Only diet than it is to move down to a -600 calorie dense diet if you're use to eating cake, ice cream, fast food etc. The Potatoes Only 🥔 idea is not meant to cut out vegetables forever as they can be reintroduced after we've given ourselves some time (1 month take or give) to get rid of our food addiction cravings, work on our relationship with food and clear our taste buds palet so that vegetables and starches taste good again (in contrast). Potatoes Only is not even about weight loss because it's not meant to be a long term thing. It's really only about changing our relationship with food and it's about cutting out our food addiction. I see it in the same light as water fasting at The True North facility. Both are just allowing people to take a time out from the food they've grown used to eating prior to the fast, so they can incorporate a new diet that is healthier after the month/week is over. Think of the Potatoes Only as nothing more than a bridge to get people from the SAD diet to the WFPBNO diet by using the abstinence model. I'm just mentioning all this because I don't think everyone really gets how food addiction is a real thing and why we need a way to get past it. Both water fasting or the Potatoes Only diet can be used successfully to break that food addiction cycle before making the transition from SAD to WFPBNO
But I’m not if the all potatoes only will work for a female who has a few pounds to lose .
What are the doctors recommended for loss hair consultation?
Wait….. I don’t know where you get your tops but I would love to know!!!!! You always look so pretty in all your outfits! Thank you AJ! Love all your work!
Thank you! I get them mostly from Venus.com, shein.com and Boston Proper
@@CHEFAJ thank you!!
This was SO helpful. It all makes so much more sense now. Thank you for breaking it down. Also, love how you weren’t willing to let your streak go. I would be the same way!!
Can you please share a link as to the hat you wear to protect your face from the sun? I have been looking for a good one. Thanks Chef AJ!❤️❤️
The hat I wear is in my Amazon favorites. Here is the link:www.amazon.com/shop/chefaj. It's the pink hat about half way down the page, but comes in different colors,
No fat with starch. Thank you!
Great episode! I didn’t realize that I shouldn’t be having fat with Starch, thank you! I sometimes added walnuts with brown rice or adding avocado to noodle soup!
Yes, starch by itself does not cause weight gain.
Very interesting, I did not know about the fats with starch matter.
Love your top, you look great.
Thank you!
I'm new to your channel. Do you have any videos on coffee and alcohol consumption? Love your channel btw!!!
Many of the physicians I've interviewed address alcohol and coffee consumption, but I can't point to a particular one...
Wait, where do you get your shirts? You said we all know that so I’m guessing you’ve addressed this before, but I missed it. You always have such great tops!
Venus, Boston Proper, Shein, Patty or Amelie Boutik, and even Walmart!
What about soy milk in my oats? Is that fat with starch? Also, can I eat my oats and then an hour later eat my veggies?
According to my numbers I don't have pre-diabetes but I am pretty sure I am insulin resistant. I have always found eating oats for breakfast leaves me ravenously hungry two hours later. I'd rather eat nothing first thing. I have even found oat groats to be a problem, though not as bad as rolled oats/porridge. Vegetables leave blood sugar a lot more stable.
Now u getting it! Just skip breakfast like Chef A.J. does & only eat when hungry, not when the clock says to.
By doing Intermittent fasting & only eating a late aft. snack, then dinner & fruit dessert, I lost the last stubborn 25 lbs .
Check Dr. Jason Fung videos on Intermittent fasting!
@@jgrysiak6566 Thank you for the recommendation.
thank you so much for this wonderful video. calorie density ist really the key to success. After menopause I struggled with my weight, until I found a video from dr.McDougall. And than I found your Chanel . Great show, greetings from Germany
