@@SavvySchmidt hey hey hey !! i am still around, & maintaining 🥰
I don't know why but today Im crying. Crying because you said You realised you had to eat the same way you did to lose.. I use to be fat.. Lost it by getting rid of white stuff. ( sugar flour ect) and 1 year ago we got precancerous polyp news for my hubby. TERRIFIED ME. So we found forks over night and you and WFPB way of eating. But i am struggling to lose the last 10 lbs. or more. I don't know WHAT I should TRULY weigh. But what you said about eating the same way to maintain as you did to lose.. Not eating fruit as a snack because ...well I can eat lots of bananas and rasins too.. so I'm right there with you.. but I GET IT NOW... I'M SO HAPPY TO ACTUALLY get it.. Thank you for being you. honest, real, quirky, and blunt. All of which I get and appreciate...
I watch this over again whenever I need motivation. Works every time!
I know & it's free! I'm poor! Lol
Can't eat raw beets or raw chard, affects my thyroid.
I love that normal, down-home working kitchen. Easier to identify with than those fancy unattainable kitchens that look as if they’re never used.
She moved out of that apartment to a house in Indio, CA soon after that!
Totally agree
Love this it is so informative ❤
Slow is good! I have lost 38 in 15 months (so far). I didn't loose over the winter, but I didn't gain any back either.
Excellent!
@Tina Turner That is TREMENDOUS! and it inspires me. Thank you :)
Tina - I'm so glad to hear this because I have been losing slowly, and not nearly as much as others. I have alot more lbs to go, but I'm just looking forward and am having fun with creating flavorful recipes. I have noticed that eating plants in AM have started helping me lose more. I have shared Chef AJ with everyone that is interested in this lifestyle, and have purchased her course as well. Her recipes have such amazing flavor.
@@Debbiedoeswatercolor , just eat when hungry not when the clock says. By skipping meals u will get faster to goal weight!
chefs AJ face looks so fresh and radiant!!!!
Thank you! I use www.kaelenharwell.com 20% off with code CHEFAJ! until 3/21/18. But I also eat tons of greens!
That’s true. 😊. You being & High spirited.
Thank you so much, Chef A.J. for all the time and effort you expend to give us all of this good information. It's so much appreciated by so many!!!
playnjane thank you
Wow I’m so glad I came across your channel. So much love for your attitude to health!
Chef AJ, I recently made your recipe for sweet potato & black bean burgers. Sweet baybuh jesus! They were amazingly delicious!!! I encourage everyone to take the time to make that recipe. I made the mix a couple days in advance, until I had time to bake the patties off. They even freeze beautifully. Thank you, for the greatest veg burger I've had, thus far. Thank you for all of your time, efforts, and generosity. Thank you for sharing your experiences and wisdoms. In short, thank you for being you! ❤️
Thank you! One of my favs and they freeze great!
Thank you both for making this video. Its been an evolution for me to train my brain to understand why what you say works. But the further I get into this lifestyle the more I realize that this information is priceless. I listen to it over and over to get it into my head so I can succeed at good health and trimming down. I'm very excited about my future success and I love the Huck Fin story. That clicks with me. Thank you AJ for all the good info and Gustavo for bringing her to my screen. Love you both.
Thank you and much success to you!!
Started with McDougall Book a couple weeks ago, this led to finding you! So glad! You really generously clarify everything!!! Thanks! ❤
I like mix rice and quinoa with chickpeas.I can’t over eat on it fills me up. I love food! I have a Vega one shake for breakfast with one of these choices: hemp,cashew,almond, rice or oat milk.
Just discovered your videos and loving them all! Thanks you!
Thanks for the continued motivation! I learn something new with each video, or am at least reminded of the basic principles of this woe.
Watched you on Rich Roll. Now I am your biggest fan. What a delight.
Ann Esselstyn says to use hot sauces also instead of salt!
The only thing is that you can overdo the hot sauces also.
I love this video. I’ve had gastric bypass 5 years ago and I cannot eat that much at one time. I’ve been able to keep my weight under control eating plantbased but I haven’t been able to drastically move my set point weight lower than 175 I’m 5’8
U are just overeating! I was eating 6-8 times a day & couldn't lose that last 20 lbs. I started intermittent fasting, just coffee, tea & water all day & then dinner & fruit dessert. Lost the last 20 lbs & now I'm under goal weight. As Chef A.J. says just eat when hungry & fill up on lots of non starchy vegetables first.
Wait, hold up! Use my broth to water my plants??!!?? Awesome!!! Mind BLOWN!!! 🤯 Thanks you guys!!
Chef AJ has become one of my favorites.
Tomato paste in a tube makes a good ketchup substitute.
I love the one from Trader Joe's. Soooooo delish! Great idea!
After watching you for years I've finally joined UWL and I ordered an Ulu today too! So excited :)
Welcome!!!
Hi Chef AJ. I started my WFPB lifestyle in April 2021. I am really enjoying for your videos. Also love your fashion sense. 🌷
Wonderful! Thank you.
OMG!!!!! That song and dance!!! You are amazing and in amazing shape, AJ. I admire people like you. Besides, you are so kind! 👍🌱🤗😘
Thank you so much!!
I'm so glad I finally got to see Charles. He IS handsome Chef AJ. And Bailey is such a sweet one too.
Thank you!
Pot liquor instead of coffee. Pure genius. Trying this tomorrow!
Its so good! Truly.
I love my veggie water also and now I have a fun new name for it too :)
Hi! I think you rename it the "NINE S's for Superior Salad Satisfaction". Turn "Crunch" into "sCrunch". Crunch is so very important!
Or “sound”
I’m new to your videos which I love. You talk so fast hard for me to keep up.
Thx k you I added starch to my salad wow what a difference!!!
Chef AJ is energetic and cute she is so motivating.
Thank you♥️
I'm eating a chopped salad right now.
:)
"Any diet style that has you limiting whole starch ...... complex carbohydrates like potatoes, rice, beans, squash..... 🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️ run as fast as you can!!!" ~ Chef AJ

Awesome 👏❤️👏👏👏👏 ideas for making delicious salad 🥗. Thank so much for sharing this wonderful teaching information video.
Is there another vegetable I can use to substitute for cauliflower?
Regards the starch - why not use legume? It's protein pack and it's starch and it's fillings. I don't see so much protein included in starch diet
So helpful, BIG thanks to Chef AJ
my pleasure
I saw your interview about IBS. I also have IBS and have been following Heather Van Vorous. She has helped me tremendously. I want to go Vegan but according to her book, we should be eating white rice and more soluble fiber. How do you manage your IBS
with the insoluble fiber foods (beans) on a Vegan diet?
I used to have chronic IBS I found that it was because I wasn’t able to break down fats well so the extra fibre and cutting out oil actually cleared mine up. Beans I had to introduce slowly, I only eat whole grains not white rice. If you struggle with rice you could try quinoa, it’s much lighter on the stomach. Reducing anxiety/stress was also a big factor for me. I really hope you find something that works for you.
Heather gained all her weight back, it's so sad!
Chef AJ, do you season your meals or do you just eat everything plain. No offense, but sweet potatoes and broccoli with nothing on them is sooooo bland. How do you do it?
I watched to hear how to cook up the Trader Joe's cruciferous bag/pot licker but so glad I watched the whole thing to see Charles finally and the 🐕!
You came to Alaska? Dangit I missed that. But I just recently put the Vegan Society on my FB so I get notified by them. It is just such a drive to get there for events. But I would have come to see you!
I read somewhere that Zucchini helps lower your blood pressure, you inspirational!
An added bonus
Mrs. Smith chia seeds twice a day also
Thanks, Chef AJ, for all of the information you share. Have you done an episode on how you prepare healthy meals when you are traveling? I've accepted a new position that requires travel about 50% of the time and my most recent assignment has me away from home for two months. I try to get rooms with a kitchenette, but sometimes all I can get is a small fridge and microwave. If I'm traveling by car I carry my microwave steamer (Tupperware!) and potato baker, some seasonings, knife and cutting board and utensils with me. When I arrive I buy potatoes, veggies, greens, tortillas or wraps and try to carry some home made oil-free hummus when I can. I'd love to hear any additional tips you have, particularly when it involves air travel. I feel like I am carrying so much with me and the small fridge can be a challenge.
I believe I have but it's not up here yet but soon!
Awesome! Can't wait! =)
I love apples in my salad
This was really informative!!
Great video, wonderful content! Chef AJ was making such a good point about COMMUNITY and how important that is, but you cut her off (fade out) before she finished speaking! She had something really valuable to say and should not have been cut off in the middle of it. Really a shame.
Would steamed kale + kale water be ideal for those of us coming offf alcohol by controlled drinking?
Hey, AJ! Have you ever had a Hayman sweet potato? They’re popular in the Southern Coastal areas. They have white flesh like a true potato, and are SUPER SWEET.
I made veg broth twice but was too scared to use it! 😂 I will do this tho because I love learning new things !
That was a fun video 😍 you have so much energy 💪🏼🦾💪🏼
Chef AJ, I cannot give up my all time favorite food....white rice! Would adding rice bran back to my white rice be somewhat comparable to eating brown rice (which I really dislike)?
Do you put something on the broccoli? Sauce, plant based cheese? It's hard to eat broccoli plain for me.
Does Chef AJ ever SLEEP??? She’s Chef EB! (Energizer Bunny) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Indeed. 8 hours every night like a baby!
wow, no wonder I am snacking late in the day, I'm not eating enough for lunch. I like her plate size there of broccoli and sweet potatoes! Gonna switch to that now! :)
wow this is my new favorite video! now I know why I am over snacking. I could live off of her food choices here.
I wish i could eat salad....but I am toofless ( insert smile here)..and I hate eating with my dentures.. so I throw all my veggies in a pot and call it soup..tons and tons of veggies..and tons and tons of beans..add some pasta or laddle over a spud...and I am good..😁😁...
Or a smoothie
I really need to master sweet potatoes. Im terrible with them!
You are a true inspiration. Thank you for this video.
You are so welcome
Soo much info soo interesting thankyou it really does help thankyou
Certified bodybuilding specialist
chef I must be the only one who had the bypass that can eat way more then 1 cup of food at a sitting
Yes you can eat some on sweet potatoes and broccoli but not 3 lb or 1 lb of broccoli and two 3 lb of potatoes you just eat till you're full and if that means you're going to eat a 15 oz bowl of broccoli and potatoes mixed that's all you're going to eat you'll be full after that you don't want to stuff yourself everybody's got a different size stomach see that's what people don't remember they forget about that stuff everybody's stomach is a different size everybody requires different amounts of food just eat the healthy food people eat healthy food and eat to your full constantly be eating vegetables vegetables is going to be in every meal you eat because that's what you eat now you eat vegetables and you're going to put rice and you're going to put potato and you're going to put other grains with it you're going to be fine don't forget your B12
Love the video!
I absolutely love Chef AJ!!! She is awesome and I love the potato song!!! Lol ☺😘
Thank you
@@CHEFAJ you are very welcome!☺
LOVE THIS CHEF A>J> is a ROCK STAR!!!!!!
Thank you♥️
Loveeee you Chef AJ!😍🥰
I just can't eat veg in the morning....has to be oatmeal and fruit.
Chief AJ have you ever watched Coach Greg Doucette
He has a low calorie dense cook book. And he says low calorie dense foods are the way to go for weight loss and lifestyle to be trim and healthy.
This is my favorite video. So inspiring
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks. This is great!
What was the name of that vinegar she put on her salad? I paused and rewound to look at the bottle to see it and still can’t find it searching in Google.
thank you for your videos! I suppose that your crunchy could be called Snappy :)
Great idea!
If you have a half a pound of broccoli or some kind of vegetable everyday you're doing good
What do you think of intermittent fasting AJ? I've read a lot of health benefits to it. I'm NEVER hungry in the morning. I usually eat my first meal around 11:30 am - Noon.
I lost the last stubborn 25 lbs with intermittent fasting. I was simply overeating & snacking 6-8 times a day. Now I only eat lunch, dinner & snack 2-3 times a day.
Check Dr. Jason Fung U tube videos on Intermittent Fasting, they are an eye opener
Hi AJ! Wow, you inspire me so much. And I've just placed an online order for a single-handle mezzaluna because of you! Much love from the Philippines! :)
Wonderful!
Sadly in New Zealand sweet potatoes or kumara as they are called hear are 6 to 7 dollars a kilo and broccoli is close to 2 dollars for a small head! So expensive so eating large volumes is just not viable.😯 I am presently doing juicing as I have health issues and trying to sort these out as you did at Truenorth. What did you eat initially coming off juicing to work towards your diet now?
I only did a 5 day juice fast at True North in 2011 I ate everything afterwards as I do now
I buy dried beans and rice and frozen Veggies. Much cheaper
i grow sprouts in my tiny apt if u keep 5 trays going u can have plenty of nutrient dense food www.trueleafmarket.com/collections/microgreens-kits-and-supplies
I'm allergic to black pepper as well -- my work around is dill seed :=)
Pot liquor caught my attention
I'm a country girl.....lol🤣🤣🤣
Love it💘
Do you add any condiments to the sweet potato and broccoli, or eat it as is? And is it wrong to add any condiments?
I eat it just as it is, but you can add condiments if you like
I love the Vegan sweatshirt! Is it still available? Where can I buy it?
What about eating in season? I didn't think that Amazon was doing Mother Earth any favours.
I just started using fluoride free toothpaste with xylitol. Would you suggest not using this? Just bought your book!!!
Maybe use it up and buy one without next time
Any suggestions for someone who HATES legumes and beans?!? I cannot stand the texture and tastes!! Could I get enough protein?? In what? Thanks!!!
Broccoil, corn, soybean sprouts, brussel sprouts, just to name a few.
Chef AJ I just ran across your site on UA-cam and I've subscribed and I think that you are absolutely fantastic you're hilarious you're beautiful and you're right to the point. Thank you so much for being on UA-cam because I'm learning so much from you
Thank you so much! Welcome!
Beautiful family!! 💕😊🌸💕🍀
Thank you! 🤗
So wot do u eat for breakfast as I didn't catch it?
Because I don't do oil but is hemp is better to use fry or no
I am late to the game here, but wondering if the 1lb of veggies is measured before or after cooking? Thanks for another great video Chef AJ!
B4
I am concerned that I don't eat enough since switching to WFPB. I can only eat about one third of your potato and broccoli meal before becoming uncomfortably full. How do I ensure that I get enough calories?

AJ Question ⁉️hemp seeds is hemp oil consumption consider in oil Category but also more to fry than other oil healthy plz reply
No oil is healthy to fry in and it is calorically dense. Hemp hearts in in their whole form can be consumed depending on your weight loss goals.
@@CHEFAJ ok thank AJ.. then I will did continue the hemp oil that is the only oil will fry in sometimes...
Super inspiring - what was rhe name of chef A J’s preferred vinegar?
California something...
Chef Aj do you eat anything else for breakfast other than veg? I can just feel full off veg.. just curious ? You've said starch is the key but you've only made veggies for breakfast ?
I eat starch with lunch and dinner
Hello Chef. Do you have a cookbook?
Yes Chef AJ has several books that can be purchased on Amazon
Do you save your broth from potatoes or only your non starchy veggies?
Non starchy vegetables
You said you had a baby that died and were on the psych drugs in 2017. Sorry for your lose. So are you saying you had a baby in your 50’s or was this an older child that you are referring to as your baby or were you on this medication for a long time?
I was on the drugs for 4 years after the baby died when I was 39
Another question: WHO on this Earth gave this a thumbs-down? I mean, huh? I don’t go to the paleo people + dislike their videos!
jammymommy I think I may know what is happening with the thumbs down. I was on a different video and I was watching on my iPad and touched the screen to scroll down and suddenly realized that I had accidentally touched the thumbs down icon and was horrified. I quickly touched it again to remove it!
Probably a hard-core keto enthusiast. LOL
Oh, my dear jammymommy... sigh... I have learned that even if you post a petition against people that abuse puppies and kittens, you'll get at least one a$$hole who gives a thumbs down or even worse, a laugh emoji. You have to just ignore.
Master trainer
AJ talks faster than I can listen …..LOL
Can I still lose weight eating a lot of beans? I like kidney, broad, or garbanzo beans mixed into my rice :) Are they more or less filling than whole grains?
I think it depends what you mean by a lot? Potatoes, sweet potatoes and winter squasher are the most satiating starches.
CHEF AJ I also am curious about beans and lentils and if it is better to leave them out for weight loss. I have read that the added protein can slow weight loss. I would ❤️ to hear your opinion. PS. If this is a re-play.. thank you as I haven't seen it before.
She's priceless!!
Love. "JUST EAT A DAMN POTATO "
Super super awesome video. 😊🙏🏻🌟💚🌱
Thank you!
Do you not eat avocados or nuts ever?
not since I lost 50 pounds
