That’s fabulous!! I also enrolled in Chef AJ’s reboot program in Jan 2022. I lost almost 25lbs from 147 to 122. My nephew from my husband’s side of the family said I looked 20 younger. I’m in my 60.
I am also hooked on Chef AJ and her videos, grateful for all the people she has on her show. They are so educational and assisting me in becoming knowledgeable. It is so important to know about calorie density and more. This stuff wasn't taught, and when you don't know, you don't know. I am so excited about this opportunity to transform my life, making this my way of life.😊
Words of wisdom,”I tried to eat my way out of the marriage.” It’s so easy to default to this strategy, but in another light, she eventually DID eat her way out of another bad situation. Ironic
I could relate to Her story, I do struggle with falling off and into bad eating. It’s ver inspiring to watch stories like this. Since I have tried this eating it’s amazing how good Whole Foods tastes
Very much inspiring. I'm 65 . I need to lose 12 to 15 lbs. I was 170. I became vegan 90 percent of the time and I don't eat clean BUT I WANT TO. My husband wants nothing to do with it. So I'm surrounded by the wrong foods. But meat and dairy does not entice me at all. I have your cookbook Chef AJ. I need to start using it
Well I am just 66, my husband also wants nothing to do with this… I lost30 lbs last yr eating well salads and proteins and got LPR and now am 33lbs heavier again. So need to lose 30 to 35 lbs… I can do it for so long then bang… off I am eating sweets. Chips salty aren’t my thing, no dairy very minimal meat but it’s cookies and muffins. Sigh..
What is it-our age? I’m 64, and have the same story! I’ve lost and regained, my husband has no interest in this way of eating. What does it take to get this weight off, keep it off, and just get on with our lives?!
@@cindygaudet1390 Have you tried Japanese sweet potatoes?? When I am baking them my husband says it smells like cake! They taste BETTER than the sweetest cake or cookies.😉❤️
@@dancingonhands they are not common in my area. I searched for them and one day wow there was a small display so got one and yes they taste awesome. Expensive for me at $2.99 Canadian a lb but I bought one and next week got it as my treat. Don’t see them now,so hopefully they will bring them back in.
It is amazing how many calories oil adds to our daily intake. Removing oil (nuts and avocado) is what made the difference for me. Once I eliminated cooking with oil and high fat food, it impacted not just my weight but lowered my high cholesterol. I hope to bring back nuts occassionally in sauces but I can't eat them by the handful.
Many factors impact the outcome, depending on what the individual's needs are. For me, calorie deficit plays a role. WFPB enabled me to meet many of my needs. Thank you Chef AJ for another great video.
Have never thought of flour addiction. My downfall is cookies and muffins, not really bars, or chocolates, or candy. Hmm and yes fresh bread or yeast buns. Interesting. May I ask your age? Oh okay just said it. I just turned 66 2 wks ago.. would love to know your ketchup and ‘miracle whip’ recipes! Oh my thanks so much! Fantastic interview and such enthusiasm!
Hi Cindy, The ketchup is in Chef AJ's Secrets to Ultimate Weight loss and my spouse swears it tastes just like the ketchup he loves!!! Its balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, onion flakes, allspice and lemon juice! I don't do miracle whip! I do make my own mustard! I can demonstrate both the ketchup and mustard on my channel. Good idea! Thanks!
Thank you so much Chef AJ for the motivation and inspiration! It helps me so much to hear, that it is never too late to change something. I am 44 and have always failed so far to reduce my very high weight, but i now want to try a whole food plant based diet and use the valuable videos of your channel to do so!
@@jgrysiak6566 I struggle with fatty and salty foods. Potato chips (crisps), French fries, Burgers, Pizza are my drugs. Not so much the sweet foods. I'm vegetarian but not vegan yet. I do eat a decent amount of vegetables and fruits also, but also end up eating too much of the food, that is not good for me.
@Weißer Wolf , well u can make FF French fries in an air fryer. U must go through the fat withdrawal. It's 21 days of no meaty, cheesy, greasy. Grease & fat is a drug & stimulates dopamine. It's not easy but once u go through it u won't crave fat & grease any longer. U must do the work. I ate lots of canned beans & fruit in my fat withdrawal.
Great program Chef!A J great program!!! I must come back later , and go over this program and see all that she has prepared! Everything look so delicious!!! My life is begging me to convert 💯 to this lifestyle! Thank you sooooooo much 💕❤️🎁🤗🍉
Amazing, amazing. Everyone wants to loose weight. At 70 years of age, 5 ft, 94 lbs. I am desperate to gain weight. Not loose. I am insulin resistant, have osteoporosis. I exercise quite a bit and eat mostly plant base, low carb which reversed my prediabetes. HbA1c is now 5.2 last reading in August 2022.
@@mariez.9764 same here. I am thinking of hiring a physical trainer and try to get a competent nutritionist because most are not helpful. Doctors are no help. I am told to eat healthy fats (nuts, avocados, etc) how much can you eat on a daily basis? And, after you reach a certain age doctors don't want to be bothered.
@@jgrysiak6566 Thanks but no thanks. Any sugar is bad for someone with insulin resistance. (Me). Wish you could see how many avocados I eat monthly, almond butter, u name the nuts I have it. An avocado tree and nut tree will be sprouting soon from my ears. I have a mini Amazon pantry. This week I started eating low sodium cheese and added quinoa to my repertoire. However, since quinoa is extremely high in carbs, I bounced on the trampoline for 25 minutes to prevent a high spike in my glucose. Not a pleasant job. Thanks anyway.
OOOOOOOOOOH!!! How about a DATE in a 150cal beet smoothie WHO! This lady just gave me the GOODS, busting out those dates. I forgot I HAVE dates with me. I consider them all-the-way dry: not for daily consumption. I wish they were individually wrapped like these Prunes 🤣 Individually-wrapped dried fruits make them easier to titrate 👊🏼
I’m hooked on Chef AJ’s videos. These guests just give UP the info. Thank you, Chef AJ. You are slaying this game 🙏🏻

Hi Patty, So fun to see you come visit today! The curry was so good and the cobbler was really fun.

Hi, Chef AJ! Thank you for doing what you do and sharing all of the plant-based wisdom. I am constantly watching your videos. 🥰💖🙌
Very inspiring!!!
Such a positive individual. Beautiful inside and out
Thank you ZIllah!
Yes, Chef AJ. She is very inspiring.

Incredibly inspiring. Janet just convinced me to sign-up... see you on Zoom! :)
Yay! Let's do this!
Janet is a delightful guest! Wow! Excellent story, ongoing success with great energy and enthusiasm to inspire anyone.👏🏻🥰
I've so enjoyed listening to this lovely Lady 🌞 thanks so very much dear AJ 😘
Hey Rosemary. Good to see you here.
great interview!
Thanks for watching Beth!
I love Janet’s channel. I’ve started sprouting greens because of one of her videos. 🌱💚
Just started another batch tonight!

Thank you for inviting Janet!! Janet, you are a gift to everyone you meet. Your light shines bright! I feel a new and inspired.

Her story,

Great video love it❤
Thank you so much for sharing. She is something else. So exciting.
I'm so happy for her. I wonder how her energy level is to complete these bike rides. I am inspired by her resourcefulness when traveling.
I go all day and recover quickly. I feel much better than when I was eating SAD diet and I don't gain weight on the trips. Win win!
Janet’s sweet, generous spirit just shines through this video-terrific guest. Thanks as always Chef AJ❤
Thank you Carol!

@@emh8861 , It's the high calorie dense food
Hard to believe how much she is willing to do to stay on track. Biking and loaded down with her next meal is amazing.

She is on board the healthy food wagon! An inspiration! Yes I would rather eat real food rather than be medicated.

What have u been eating? What foods do u struggle with?
It took me 65 years to find this program and I love it!

So lovely to get to meet Janet :D two great recipes, too :) happy for her success, and thank you so much
Nice to see your reply. Thank you for watching!
Amazing!
What an inspiration! I'm 82 and just starting (again! Another diet!🙄)
I need to loose at least 70 Lbs!🤫
Thank you both!🤣🌹
You can do it Katie. Have you watched Esther and Al? AL is 87 years young and going strong. He started at 80.
Thank you, Chef AJ😍

Then just eat more nut butters, nuts, seeds, avocados, olives & drink fatty & sugary soy milk.

About the cranberry dressing recipe. I thought Janet said the dates were soaked in water, not apple cider vinegar.
She has so much energy - she glows!
This lifestyle is so invigorating!
How do people AFFORD all this, time off biking, eating well....?
what size rice cooker did she carry on her bike trip, did she say.
It's a 0.6 liter. I carried it in my waterproof back rack log bag. Sure came in handy!
On time
I lost 20 Lb in a month by eating salad
What did you eat everyday please?
@@lauratohome salad
Love Janet and Chef AJ 🙏🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

I am reading my kimchi label...it has shrimp and anchovies in it!
They sell vegan kimchee at Target.
Absolutely she is.
I'm a twin!
I am a twin also
Yay for twins!
Did you eat white rice?
I do eat white rice
Would love to eat like this but so hard having salicylate intolerance 😢
Amazing story! Just curious Janet’s height?
Just short of 5'5''
Oh my gosh I love cranberries.
I like lemon on russet potatoes.
