Thank you to all who took the time to watch. Your encouraging support means so much and Chef AJ., membership in Esther's Nutritional Journey has blossomed! Thank you for allowing me to be on your program. You are amazing and talk about sustainability - you've got it.
Esther - you are such an inspiration, communicating with such simplicity and authenticity. And the most amazing testimony of what is possible by following common sense principles of health management. Amazing.
When I quit working at age 71 I started seriously controlling what I ate according to McDougall. It took me six years but I lost 60 pounds. I was 77 then and I’ve maintained it for three years. I’ll be 80 next month.
Send all of your mothers to me, ha. We just need to open the window to all of the good news which is coming our way. We are so lucky to have time and access to Chef AJ during this time.
Sounds like a great recipe but onion is considered toxic to dogs use caution when feeding it to them. Notice how long Ester has stood in her kitchen , see how well she is moving and her speech is smooth and clear, sharp ,strong lady in her 70's. Great role model
This was great..absplutely...but I don't know what a bisque is and I don't understand what you do to the vegetables in the instantpot and the liquid stuff to make it b a bisque...whatever that is. Sorry..i never read a recipe book.
This video changed my life and my perspective....as a 73 year old....5'3"....155 pounds....and as a 5 year vegan....NOW I can see myself losing to my goal weight of 135(which I never thought would be possible). THANK YOU.
Boy do I need to hear this today !!!! I’m 65 and can’t get this darn weight off and for health reasons and a surgery coming up i really have to get started in the right direction
🍃🌷🍃What a fantastic interview Chef AJ. 🍃🌷🍃 Your interview skills are just plain cool. You focus on the guest, do not interrupt and allow the guest to share their story🍃🌷🍃. Such a loving and inspirational couple. It proves one is never too late to change your life🌷
Today May 13, 2021 is my first day eating the AJ WAY! I am 70 years old, Lori Neighbor is my pastor's wife and I will be documenting my results. THANK YOU Esther - for such a time as this - I moved from Galt, California to Chapala, Jalisco, MX 10 years ago. My energy level is in a pit, and my feet hurt when I walk.
Such an inspiring life story. I make a soup like that, sometimes with zucchini instead of cauliflower. I usually add red lentils and turmeric and black pepper. I chop everything and cook in a regular pot and my hands have not fallen off.
I haven’t been watching you for a while and I’ve just started again and I got to say I absolutely love the way you’re doing your make up now it’s so light and fresh you have so much natural beauty to show that it’s really nice
Gonna be heading into the kitch to make that cauli bisque just as soon as this video ends. I really enjoyed this interview and Esther is SUCH an inspiration. I have been wanting, and haphazardly attempting, to incorporate more veggies into my woe. YOU and Esther and even Esther's husband Ben, have given me hope. Not only for myself, but for my husband as well. Thank you so much.
chef AJ i just received your book the secret to ultimate weight loss . i am going to follow it to a tee.I have many vegan or plant base vegtables cook books and i have been following the diet since january 1 st.but seeing you on u tube i am convinced i needed your book.
Lovely women and lovely show. Disappointed we didn’t get to see the finished cauliflower bisque. The recipes and advise are terrific. I have been on this lifestyle plan for 10 years and at 82 I can proudly say that I am on zero meds and feel wonderful (except for a broken shoulder and rotator cuff!!) 😊👍👍
So beautiful and heartening. Bless you, Esther. Your vibe is so uplifting, your wisdom inspiring, your gentle spirit uplifting. Could never thank you enough, Chef AJ, for all you do and for all you've given to us. (Savory oats transformed my life. Sundried tomatoes, cilantro, turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, dulse... Endless possibilities for experimenting with those savory oats.) Peace & Plants💚
Great going! You’re looking fabulous! One of the things I just started doing is to forage in my backyard. These veggies that grow on their own like dandelions, wild clover, etc have many more nutrients and cost me nothing. I’m slowly learning to identify these wild growing plants which I find to be an exciting new hobby. Also, with the Covid-19 virus I have a steady supply of the best food nature has to offer! You might find this an interesting new approach.
We have started with cucumbers, tomatoes, chives, parsley and cilantro and some green peppers and of course love our pomegranate and orange trees and grapes.
Totally enjoyed Ester really needed this and stayed up late to watch the whole thing. Thank you Chef AJ for all you do for People eating this way. I enjoy your videos so much. Since starting to eat his way again it has helped me so much. Especially since I am the only one eating this way in the house. I am determined to get back to my ideal weight and healthy feeling again. Your you tube helps me allot.
Esther & Chef Aj, you are both amazing and Inspirational! It's so wonderful and encouraging to see that health can be restored to near perfection with Dr McDougall's dietary principles and in a relatively short time! You both model it for me in a real life day to day way. Thank you!
Hi Esther from NZ and another 76yr old fairly new wfpb follower. I just thought I'd let you and AJ know what Dr Greger (of How Not to Diet Fame)says about cruciferous vegetables. He insists that they must always be cut before you cook them because they contain Glucosindates and Myrosinal when cut these two combine and release a wonderful compound sulforaphane which is heat resistant and extremely good for you (helps prevent cancer among other things) If these vegetables are cooked whole the myrosinal is destroyed. - In fact Dr Micheal Greger says cut and wait 45 mins before you cook them. It's simpler to cut and store them cut up that way you know you are getting the maximum benifit of these marvellous vegetables. ie cauli, brocolli, sprouts, etc I do hope you don't mind my passing this gem on to you both. Love your story and your marvellous transformation keep up the good work AJ of keeping us up to date with these inspirational people Ciao Carole
Instant pot is my cooker. Looks like hers is huge compared to mine. Yes, absolutely people if I could afford to buy an instant pot here in the land of north Canada, you can buy one. I use mine constantly, like every day even two times a day.
Also try oats Savory Style and serve with a big side of Greens, like collard greens or sautéed Swiss chard. Makes for a fabulously healthy combo,, and a really good way to get some greens in for the day!
I use to work at Winchell’s donuts before it turned to Baker Bens donuts and it’s still here in Roseville, wonder if it was one of his since it’s close to Sacramento. I never ate any when I worked there thank goodness.
That's great WHEN you can control what is in your kitchen, but this is not the case for all of us -- and others we live with have the right to eat what they want to eat, too.
Amazing I so enjoyed this video. She is so inspirational and I am three years younger than her . And I have lost 20 pounds and that's without exercising. I have not got the book of Dr John McDougall yet I'm just watching the videos especially CHEF AJ you are uplifting. I'm also wondering about the recipe in the instant pot I would have loved to see the end results. Sorry it's a long text. ❤️ From the UK.
I thoroughly ENJOYED this video. Esther is just lovely person - she's so helpful to those of us who need to do the same thing. I am so inspired by her story! Chef AJ: Which book of yours does Esther keep referring to? That cauliflower bisque sounds good. Which book has that recipe, and other 'easy' delicious ones of yours - and the info about the 'red line' foods that I won't have to worry about weight gain if I stay in that category.
Yes how does the soup turn out with whole cauliflower in insta pot? Would love to have seen the end product. I am thinking of getting an Instapot for this way of eating. Great interview AJ
You really can't go wrong with any of them. We purchased ours in 2017 and it's still going strong! Here is a link for one that is a little more cost friendly.

Tracey, I actually wasted time/money trying to follow Dr.Terry Wahls’ Protocol, and attending her Seminar in Iowa in 2017. I wish I’d known about Dr.McDougall & Dr Swank when I was first DXd w/PPMS when my 1st 🧠 MRI revealed nearly nearly 30O brain lesions.
Thank you for sharing your incredible story Esther. I got a little lost with the 600 cal a pound comment by Chef. If anyone could clear that up for me, much appreciated.
Dr J Fuhrman was my 'mentor' and now I have an option. No, I refuse to use a microwave. Presently I am weaning myself off of condiments. Four weeks without Best Foods mayonaise, ouch, and ketchup. No bag or box 'foods'. Black rice is good. If I can find it again. Now that I am in Northern land of ice and snow Canada. Also a member of the 70's club. and having a real weight challenge since the stay in your home covid dilema. You are awesome so glad I found you. I use to live in Reno, NV which is a hop and a skip from Sacramento, CA. Chef AJ was talking about eating 5 lbs of food and if I do that I'm not looking like her. Keep up the great work you two. maybe i will try the oats again, I had discarded it after I got sick one time. Oh yes, my instant pot is my buddy. No more chopping veggies, lesson of the day.
Hi Anna Freeman. There are so many options in life and we get to choose. Condiments just make me (as a food addict) want to eat more and my "I'm full" button doesn't work very well. The good thing about this virus is it has kept some of us out of restaurants and the homes of other people and if our kitchen is clean, no worries.
@@CHEFAJwhat? I don’t understand. I sometimes eat rolled oats cold like cold cereal, but with berries and soy milk. So that is worse than cooked oats somehow?
@@billieread2116 Not worse just more calorically dense at 1,800 calories per pound versus 365 calories er pound so less favorable for weight loss when not cooked in water. Water adds weight and volume with no calories.
Yes, it enhances flavor and also stimulates your appetite. There is adequate salt in vegetables and other whole foods, so it's never totally eliminated.

I’ve been starting to follow the eating plan and I am just keeping track of calories to see and I go over calories a lot and I am still hungry. Am I doing something wrong or what can I do differently?
Question, how can you lose weight when you eat a lot of carbs on plant based ? I would like to start it but afraid of the carbs for example in oatmeal and potatoes
Loose skin after massive weight loss can occur regardless of what diet you're on, however, the slower the weight loss the better chance you give your skin to bounce back

Hi AJ - I began my plant based diet two years ago at age 72 - love your guest today - Esther is such an inspiration 🙏

People aren't fat and sick because they use microwaves, it's because of what they eat." I love it!!!
Jamie Mills thank you!💜
@@CHEFAJ Thanks for clarifying this, Chef AJ.
True! Still... the microwaves destroy most of the nutritions. It's original purpose wasn't harmless (think ww2)

Hi Anna Freeman. There are so many options in life and we get to choose. Condiments just make me (as a food addict) want to eat more and my "I'm full" button doesn't work very well. The good thing about this virus is it has kept some of us out of restaurants and the homes of other people and if our kitchen is clean, no worries.
Can’t find the dr.
Chef AJ, Do you know of or heard of Dr. Ruby Lathon if so do you plan on having her cook and hear her story on your site.
Were you able to get off thyroid medication?
Wonderful video! Would you mind sharing Chef AJ and or Esther what brand of Nutritional Yeast that you use? Thank you.
I like this one www.amazon.com/dp/B00PJ3IPMI/?ref=exp_chefaj_dp_vv_d
I love this interview and this woman! Are the recipes in the interview in her book?
I eat my oats raw. I don't hear anyone talk about it. I only use organic, and yes, I agree about the potatoes, must be organic for me.
not good for weight loss.. Raw oats are 1,800 calories per pound, when cooked only about 300.
CHEF AJ 😮
@@CHEFAJwhat?
I don’t understand. I sometimes eat rolled oats cold like cold cereal, but with berries and soy milk. So that is worse than cooked oats somehow?
@@billieread2116 Not worse just more calorically
dense at 1,800 calories per pound versus 365 calories er pound so less favorable for weight loss when not cooked in water. Water adds weight and volume with no calories.
@@CHEFAJoh. So it’s more about adding the milk? Is that what you’re saying!
Is it okay to eat non-GMO corn tortillas?
I have noticed people don't seem to have trouble with excess skin who are on plant based
Loved this!
Doesn't salt enhance the flavor? Is salt totally eliminated? What about your body needing salt?
Yes, it enhances flavor and also stimulates your appetite. There is adequate salt in vegetables and other whole foods, so it's never totally eliminated.
Curious if you normalized your thyroid after 30 years of medication?
Was hoping to see the finished product out of the instant pot.

I’ve been starting to follow the eating plan and I am just keeping track of calories to see and I go over calories a lot and I am still hungry. Am I doing something wrong or what can I do differently?
Is quick reference for IP in your book?
Yum great inspiration!!
What are groats? (I'm not in the US)
Whole, unprocessed oats - you know, before they become stone ground or rolled.
Question, how can you lose weight when you eat a lot of carbs on plant based ? I would like to start it but afraid of the carbs for example in oatmeal and potatoes
It is refined, processed carbs that are the problem--not whole grains and potatoes
Do people have loose skin after massive weightloss on plantbased diet? Im worried about a turkey neck and under arms.
Loose skin after massive weight loss can occur regardless of what diet you're on, however, the slower the weight loss the better chance you give your skin to bounce back
What book did Nora give her?
The McDougal Program for Maximum WeightLoss
I might try this McDougall diet yet... 70+ years old??!!
Chopping is for suckers....how cute!!!! Thank you from me...a 73 year old ....who is so inspired by this video!
You are so welcome!
What about CHIA Seeds?
yes, 1 -2 tbs per day would be ok if you're losing as you want to.
I wish she still made that magnet chart again
please email: help@chefaj.com if you'd like a copy of the density chart
I have the books with the chart , I just would love to have bought some of the magnets for the refrigerator as gifts.
