Chef AJ is amazing, she minces no words, does not sugar coat it, but is so real and honest with her struggles and journey. I find her very well spoken, an amazing interviewer herself. Love her channel and everything she stands for. I’ve read her books where she shared her struggles and she is just admirable, how many people can say they have turned their life around and also vowed to help more people willing to be helped. If I ever want to wallow in self pity, I stop and look at people like this and get a much needed boost.
I've been plant based for 4yrs, then recently got diagnosed with Hashimoto's in October 2020. I cut out all the crap and went on Dr. Brooke Goldner's goodbyelupus dietary protocol (green smoothies with flax and chia, and lots of raw greens, and 1gal water/day). My TSH dropped from 86 to 7 in 3.5 weeks. Then I kept the green smoothies and incorporated a whole food plant based diet, it's been 6months and my TSH is 4 and antibodies cut in half. All without medication.
I love Dr Barnard and Chef AJ, I've read all their books and lost weight and got rid of my acne :)
I discovered Chef AJ a few years ago when I was really struggling with my eating. I wasn’t overweight but I was close to it and my eating felt out of control. Her tips helped me wean myself off of a lot of things. Then time, consistency, and patience did the rest. I’m happy to say food no longer controls me like it used to it. I’ve lost about 20-25 pounds since then
Thank you for telling us! I'm totally addicted to sugar. Now I've heard this podcast I'm going to follow Chef AJ and Dr Barnard and get healthy and lose my 40kg sugar fat.
Dee F you can do it! Remember to be patient and forgiving with yourself. I hope it goes smoothly for you. But keep in mind that you didn’t get to where you were in a day, so it won’t be reversed in a day. Now I’m able to eat sweets without going overboard. I actually don’t crave them like I used to, so my diet is pretty much an unprocessed vegan diet
I just became vegan 19 days ago and lost 11 pounds so far. So exciting!
Are you still vegan? ...If yes, then it's well over a year. If no, why...? I am here to learn and grow. It helps when I get feedback.
since my plant based diet, i have improved in everything. my thyroid is doing great and no longer take meds.
Love hearing that. I've been plant exclusive for 6 months..hoping to go off my thyroid meds eventually
Way to GO Linda! I'm so happy for you!
One of the best episodes! Chef AJ so eloquently speaks on food addiction and the stronghold these “foods” have on so many peoples’ minds and bodies..
Chef AJ has really made an impact on my eating habits and healthy lifestyle (AND she's quite fun and entertaining) I'm a big fan!
Dr. Barnard sums it up so well. Have him on every time, he's awesome!
Thank you for having Chef AJ on! She is such an inspiration and role model.
I love what she said about cheat days - "Who are you cheating, your body?"
I was taught to have cheat days. It worked when I was young and really determined to lose weight but 30 years later my addiction is worse for all the choices at the shops. Now I find the cheat days make my addiction worse- I can't wait. I'm off to learn more from Chef AJ and those doctors.
She is amazing. Ball of great energy. We need her. 🌱💚
Chef AJ is great! So full of energy & looks fab! She’s so right about food addiction. I have no problem giving up meat, fish, eggs, dairy (hated touching animal flesh to cook it) but I never thought my peanut butter addiction was that bad until I look back on that. 😳
Same here. Everytime I buy peanut butter I think I can eat just a tiny amount. It never happens. I eat an average sized jar a week! I have to stop bringing it into my house.
Love Chef AJ. Thank you for interviewing her. Chef AJ has been interviewing amazing people on her UA-cam channel everyday for months during the pandemic. Treat yourself and watch!
I found the UA-cam videos on calorie density by nutritionist Jeff Novick very informative and easy to watch. Love the Chef you had as a guest today.
Whau the most enthusiastic and super inspiring example - and a very passionate and wise talk of freedom of food addiction and how to do it in practice ....Thank you for sharing
Chef AJ is great, what a good lecture on habits and food.
AJ you DO look amazing at 60! Such wisdom, thank you so much for your courageous, non compromising example of great health!
Thank you
You’re amazing AJ! You’ve done so well with your own addiction. We all have different ones. I rarely drink soda but think I have a problem with bread! It’s hard to say no to cookies too. Uh oh. Thanks for the pep talk.
Chef AJ is a busy woman!👏🏻👏🏻
Older but more beautiful than in the Johnny Carson days. Thank you Chef AJ for all that you do and have done to help this world.
Absolutely admire Chef A.J.
Subscribed to watch Chef AJ! ❤️❤️❤️
She is truly a gem, Ive learned sooo much from her
Chef AJ is so humble, fun, and inspiring!
Chef AJ.I really wish could’ve talked with you on live. I was on keto for 5 year’s.my wife and family kept telling Me that diet wasn’t healthy.I didn’t listen until I got tired of seeing myself with this high fat belly I had. So the beginning of September I started my new journey on plant based. I lost more belly fat on this planet based since I started this.I
I know the interview was 2 years ago, BUT AJ YOU SO PASSIONATELY WOMEN😊😊👍
A woman says no is not a disagreeable woman, she is a woman that knows how to set boundaries and look after herself. Chef AJ is amazing.
I love chef AJ , she is amazing.
Chef AJ was on 🔥!!! Love her 💕
😍😍😍👍 Chef AJ and PCRM 💖💞💖 YAY!! 🤩
How do these people even poop 💩 LOLOLOL
Just the motivation I needed love chef aj
my addiction is chips & wine. Otherwise, I m no oil , salt and plant based. But those chips & wine. It is hopeless sometimes. Exercise 5 days a week. Wish I could b a better person. My husband & his whole family eat meat, desert, chips, drink alcohol & only 2 r overweight but not him.
I am SOS Free !! and the weight started to really come off. but i am using the starch solution, DR. Mc Dougall. MD.
Chef AJ, you ROCK!!!
It's ok to be extreme when it refers to your health. I concur with AJ. Nuts and cheese are my triggers. I believe I am going to try your tactic.
I used to crave chocolate everyday for a longggg time ...now on wfpb i cant stand it as its just too sweet ...could you imagine that!!!
You are my inspiration. Omg. I am writing your words on my pantry cupboard door, and in the car, and on my hand, and in my purse.
I just love love listings to all of you but most Chef AJ - so right about addiction...
I'll sign up for the Thyoid research if you need someone. Switch to plant diet 1 year ago. Have low thyroid.
I will sign up for the thyroid research as well. Hypothyroid.
Chef AJ is awesome!!!
I love my son he smoke for years woke up one day and said he elevated and stop that same day never look back
Thank you Chuck and Chef AJ! :)
I absolutely LOVE chef AJ 🙏💯🙌
I realized i was only using sea salt. what i was Missing was the Nutrient your thyroid needs is Iodine. so i use my Iodized salt and i still use sea salt. I was feeling so tired that's when i had the Problem. now i am free of that and so happy about it.
Dolse is a great iodine supplement if you want to skip the salt. I eat 1/2 tsp a day w my veggies as recommended by Dr Gregor..ordered from Amazon 😁
Amazing!
You look great you Gave two great great advice and I follow some of them
like not to have junk when people bring you
just give it away or not have it in the house
I can’t have drinks with aspartame because I get a stomach ache. It’s my punishment for drinking soft drinks (soda). 😆
Love Chef AJ!!❤
“Secrets” 😂 oops. Anyway, looking forward to seeing Chef AJ and Dr Barnard as always.
Yay KY on the list❤️
Hello! I'm wondering if Chef AJ does her weight loss class?
I love hearing Dr Bernard. I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease many years ago and was told that I would always have to take replacement. In fact my doctor waited to put me on elthroxin because she felt that was a permanent thing, and then before prescribing it did the antibody and related tests. So..if I could ask.. I also have Menieres disease which I have heard some people speculate as autoimmune. It's been silent for a while as I have had it for over 20 years but the tinnitus and hearing loss are not changing with WFPB eating. The question is, is anyone doing research on reversing autoimmune with WFPB eating? I am curious!
Goodbye Autoimmune Protocol Dr. Brooke Goldner
Way to go AJ.
I can't say I share AJ's strict approach to eating WFPB, but then everyone's physiology and psychology is different, so if strict adherence is what it took to get her past the scoring line, then respect to her for sticking the course. Personally I'll take an ounce of "naughty" along with each pound of "nice", coz I find that my overall plant food consumption goes up when it's bound up in a dash of oil, pinch of salt, and the odd helping of meat or fish or dairy. But its all relative anyways, many vegans might consider "raw vegans" to be "too strict", while some raw vegans might look at fruitarians and think "that's pushing it".
Love this channel. Diets are always starvation based. Whole vegan foods are so much better. Eat all you need.
Hypothyroidism research: Please count me in. I have been vegetarian for many years and vegan since 2017 - whole food plant based, SOS-free even. Still unable to cure my hypothyroidism. Fine tune’ning my meds with my GP all the time. It’s only 0,075 mcg thyrax a day but still rather not. For that reason I am very interested and willing to participate. Thanks for sharing. 🌱💚☮️🇳🇱
I reversed Hypothyroid disease, not Hashimoto's related and unmedicated, via my Whole Foods Plant Exclusive Lifestyle, not just the diet. It took me 2 years and 2 months. Keep going. You're doing great!
Check out Dr Goldner on UA-cam.. she's reversing autoimmune diseases with a raw vegan diet.
Yes!! Cheat days are bull!
Vegan cheese and margarine is loaded with oils. It has been sabotaging my waiste line decided to just go back to being cheese free
Losing the excess skin, after losing the excess weight interests me.
I will always be an ethical vegan but from my experience so far, the vegan diet has not helped my hypothyroidism. I have always been vegetarian and vegan for the past 6 years and I was diagnosed with the condition about 23 years ago. I am now 57 and although it has really not affected me as in, I am not overweight, never had any fertility issues, I am still dependent on my medication I take 1.mcg one day and alternate with 1.25 the next day. I suffer from the cold and get tired sometimes. I have sailed through menopause though and I do attribute that to my diet and exercise habits.
I’m on thyroid meds because I’m hippier thyroid. And I’ve heard this plant plant based is so healthy for hiper thyroid? I’ve lost over 4 pounds already.
I've been vegan for over a month.. I started losing weight slowly when I was eating potatoes and a veggie or a small amount of beans and a veggie .. now my skin drys out when I eat beans ..I think I need to cut those out of my diet. I gain everytime I eat rice.. I want to make meals that are .. better then just 2 things but everytime I do I gain weight.. I'm getting really frustrated. Like I made chili and gained 3lbs. I think my metabolism is messed up. I don't want to live off just potatoes.. :(
"I love soft stools, I cannot lie."
Chef AJ really is amazing 😀
I'm trying to get away from using olive oil in my foods but how could I saute my onion or brown my veggies?
You can saute & brown onions without water on a lower heat. Stir frequently and add a tablespoon of water or broth if it starts sticking or getting too brown.
I’d like to be in the hashimotos study!
Chef AJ is baller 💥
I’m doing it now
Interesting.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s soooooo hard to give up Ezekial bread and peanut butter.
Use PB2 mixed with almond milk instead of full fat peanut butter then
@@kerriewithpurpose5722 Great advice! ❤️. I just happened to see my comment and your reply... and I am actually having a PB powder, almond milk, and banana smoothie right now! 😂😂😂😂
I am food addiction 😢
I lost a friend when I realized I was her chain restaurant buddy
Ezekiel bread ?
Why is Ezekiel bread bad to eat?
Chef AJ💕💕💕
Why if you on plant based diet, you can’t have coffee.?
Nataliia B. Some people just try to avoid anything that they have found triggers feelings of dependency. Some people are more likely to eat fat and sugar if they were in the habit of having coffee with dessert.
You do know that the display title says ‘sectets’ to weight loss, right....? 😶. Secrets are the topic - I hope....
You dont just eat oil unless you're middle eastern or mediteranian
you missed Ohio.
I’ll do vegan right but I’ll always eat white rice won’t do brown don’t like it that’s my no no
Good grief... Don't you ppl talk fast 😁
Nothing controversial about masks
I love her but wish she didn't talk so fast. I literally can't understand her at times.
Sorry 😞
