*Changed my life. I will never eat the same ever again. "Unless you physically trip and your face lands in a box **weightlose.fitness** of donuts, there is no such thing as a 'slip'." Get that mind set and you'll win again and again.*
Still miss crunchy foods like pretzels & dry boxed cereal.
People screw up, they are human. I'm not a perfectionist. I'm a get up and keep going kind of person. I make mistakes all of the time. It is what it is.
After on year on TH-cam I found this! Oh my! I’m a physician and I can tell you that you have just changed my entire life! Never had a better lesson in real life nutrition in 25 years of practicing medicine.
Impressive!
Hi Shirlene where are you in world
@@samralifestylecanada USA
It is sad that this is not taught to physicians
@@violavixen777 it is now. However, while there are exceptions, it is not always given the time it should be given. Having foods side by side while the nutritional value is being compared is the best way to train patients and so this aspect of training should be incorporated into all nutritional education.
Amazing info... I recently lost 100lbs... from eating JUST LIKE THIS... (I'm a 10 year vegan also, but was an unhealthy vegan for years) now I'm 190 , tons of muscle... like a new life 💜🥦🥬🥒🫑
Hello Christoph Sr. I am considering eating plant base only. How is it possible to be an unhealthy vegan?
@@reneebank3791 unhealthy vegan diet is full of processed food. A coke, a candy bar and a coconut ice cream are all vegan but if that's all you eat, you'll get sick.
@@reneebank3791 , by eating lotsa oil & lotsa nuts, nut butters, seeds, olives, avocadoes

That’s awesome 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
Honestly, I’m in tears! 40 years of fad diets and the solution is simple!!! More importantly, it’s so healthy! Bless you Chef AJ!
Same here...40 years of losing and gaining and then just being overweight because I was tired of the cycle.
I finally committed to WFPB in late February 2021 and have effortlessly lost over 45 lbs! In 5 months!
And I now LOVE what I'm eating instead of counting the days till I can be "off the diet".
I will eat this way for the rest of my life! Everything tastes so much better, and I am full of energy! I don't even like the old foods full of salt, oil and sugar anymore.
Thank you so much!!!

Wow!!! “ What you eat today is what you will crave tomorrow!!!” Very true!!!!!
It's is...and I've never thought about it that way before!!!!
Not true for me!
Is white rice okay to eat on this diet
For 2 months or so i was down on my luck and had no money for luxury food, no cookies, no chips; I only could afford to eat the foods on the left of the red line as they were affordable. I ate a lot of lentil and rice meals. In fact, I ate as much as I wanted, did IF and lost a whole lot of weight effortlessly without even excercise.
What is IF?
@@chainsawfingers probably intermittent fasting. It is eating within a time window. And fasting the rest of the day. For example, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. would be a 12 hour window.
@@chainsawfingers intermittent fasting is the timed eating window in which you eat food which forces your body to rely on the stored fat in your body for energy when you are not eating. I try to eat between 11am and 7pm which leaves a 16 hour fasting window for my body to digest, rest, repair and burn fat. It is best to ease into it by slowly increasing your fasting hours. Your body will even appreciate 12 hours of fasting time!
ive never understood vegans, and have been taking health class since middle school. All it took was one singular 1hr video to change my perspective on food.very well spoken, thank you
Just don't be s junk food vegan. Eat whole food plant based, no oil.
The calorie density chart should be required material for EVERY high school/college student.
Exactly!
These are amazing for weight loss.retail.totallifechanges.com/NSredeemed
@TripJay21 Another reason it should be taught.
I so agree!
I think that it should actually start in elementary school 🏫 💯👍 the sooner the better!😊
WOW! My daughter was RAVING about you, but I continued to search the web for other ways to lose weight, Based on the fact that the Keto diet was, to me, extreme, I decided to load up on all kinds of starch-free veggies to see how that would help, instead of the Keto.
When I tried these veggies, my weight just started dropping like a rock! Then I happen to see this presentation, and it made GREAT SENSE! I KNEW you were right-on, from my experience! THEN, I looked up to the top of the monitor screen, to see who made such great sense, and was BLOWN AWAY! ..It was YOU, A. J.,... the very person that my daughter had been raving about, and it was YOU, who changed their life, and now my life, as well! Thank you, A.J.!! WOW!! AWESOME PRESENTATION!
Is white rice okay to eat on this diet
@@biancapereat9075 I would say probably not as it isn't a whole grain but has been processed, which is what makes food lose nutritional values and increases calories. Red, black, wild and brown rice are whole grains which are unprocessed, they don't raise your blood sugar quickly like white rice does. (not an expert but what I've started buying bc I'm from Louisiana and rice is a MUST HAVE for me on any eating plan, lol)
As a food, white rice is probably better for you than a cheeseburger per se, and is actually relatively low in calories but I'd head for the natural, unprocessed varieties whenever possible.
From what I can see, her plan is basically Noom in a book, or likely Noom captured the essence of her plan in an app, however, she says NOTHING about meats so I assume she is strictly vegan, I wish she would have bothered to explain where on her chart various meats actually fall for those who aren't quite ready to give up meats entirely. On Noom, meats fall into the "red zone" which is basically you can have it but limit it.
That's a GREAT story! 👍
Keto doesn't restrict you from eating non-starchy veggies.
If we were taught this at birth, wow! Love you, Chef A J.
After watching this presentation I purchased your book my family has decided to have a healthy lifestyle with your help. Thanks
I have seen AJ's numerous talks on calorie density and never tire of it.
Thank you kindly
Ezekiel bread is my last holdout!
I have seen a LOT of videos on plant based eating, weight loss and weight loss in general and hands down, this does the BEST JOB of breaking it (calorie density) down!! Sharing this all over the place. This needs to be seen by so many
Thank you!
I love avocados and I always bought the organic ones. What I discovered was that the demand for avocados from Mexico are impacting on the monarch butterfly habit if you buy the non-organic ones. So on the whole, I no longer buy avocados regardless of what kind they are or where they are from. I live in Canada and all I ever find are the Mexican ones. It's not a sacrifice if done for the right reason (for me). We plant based eaters think that we do not impact on Mother Nature but there are times when we do.
avocados don't really get sprayed that much. maybe some fertilizer but the trees don't get bugs.so when you buy organic ones there really is no difference, those of us who have grown avocados laugh when we see organic ones.
i am lucky, where i live i just have to walk a short distance and pick a fruit or vegetable from the tree/ground lol
good information to know!! personally i’m glad that i’ve never liked avocados at all lol.
Potato can substitute for avocado in some recipes. Processed food manufacturers have been doing this for years.
Thank you so much for this suggestion - I had not heard of this before - I am always learning something new 👍🇨🇦
I google calorie density.. this was so not what I assume it was. But now that it has been broken down for me .. I really can see what I been doing wrong while losing weight. I hated the thought of becoming vegan. It was such a foreign thought in my brain .. but I can really see what I can do to push the weight loss to the TOP! THANK YOU :)
“Can’t have a million dollar figure eating off the dollar menu” .. I needed to hear that
And let me tell you how expensive my cancer surgery and care were! I paid dearly and nearly with my life for all the times I ate crap food from fast food dollar menu. The pain, the suffering, the life long side effects and wondering when the cancer will come back. This same whole foods plant based unprocessed diet is also effective against heart attack, stroke, cancer, and diabetes! Win-win
I pack my own food to restaurants citing food allergies. Then I offer to pay for a meal which they usually refuse. My friends are happy I go and eat with them. I stay safe from my shrimp/mango allergy and can stay on plan. This way of eating helps me fight cancer. Obviously I wouldn't go alone to a restaurant and do this. I tip the server as if I bought a meal. Much easier than trying to do special request from a busy kitchen. Most restaurants will even give me an empty plate so then my "meal" looks like theirs. Lol
Same here! I bring either brown rice or quinoa in my own container. I sometimes order a salad, no dressing, and put a California Balsamic vinegar on it. Then I mix in the rice or quinoa to make it more filling (and that way I have a plate or bowl...lol).
The SOS free California Balsamic vinegars are a game changer!!
@@laurarauhauser2350 The salad dressing sounds yummy. Where do you buy it?

I love that, good on you!
I've lost 20kg in 3 month and I never felt so good!!! Thank you so much AJ🤗
Okay, now I am getting it. I never struggled with weight until later in life. Once I entered my 40's I began noticing weight gain. Stress, life, age and all the things you mentioned are the triggers to my weight gain in addition to menopause. I'm going to get rid of what is causing me weight gain.
The main reason I'm fat is alcohol smh, glad I quit the 1st of this year.
I love the visual comparisons. At 70 & needing a hip replacement I am starting my 100 la weightloss journey. God bless you Cef AJ for making things simple & understandable! Joyce
So sorry about your hip replacement. I wish you the best on your journey! You got this!!
Watch A Healthy Alternative, Jason Fung and Sten Ekberg TH-cam channels. I am reading the Weigh Down Diet which is not a diet by Gwen Shamblin and planning on buying Fast, Feast, Repeat soon.
I saw this trick yesterday to help you get to a full fast. Week 1: no breakfast, Week 2: no breakfast and no lunch, Week 3: eat half of your normal dinner, Week 4: full water only fast.
Her vibration is truly gorgeous! I really needed to hear this about the fat and salt... this was super motivating.
Lisa Eve, everyone who drops salt, truly, dies. A heart cannot beat without it. Switching to raw salt drops heart attacks to half. Any salt that draws water from the air is raw, it is a little wet. Light Grey from Celtic Salt is pretty easy to find. Warning: food tasts far more delicious with the raw salts, so more complements on cooking. Side effects: reduced swelling in feet, face under chin, hands, heart.
@@charlanpennington3989 Any other type of salt to recommend. I am in South Africa trying to find the best raw salt. I was getting dizzy spells from eliminating salt so I can relate to your comment
My doctor told me to go Vegan, as he had done, following the Forks Over Knives recipes, as well as about your videos. I am so happy to be here and to learn a better way of eating and losing weight.
@@sheffieldjcondo4828chill out! I am new to this and trying to learn!
@@sheffieldjcondo4828 are doritos okay on a vegan diet? organic cornchips fried in vegetable oil... theyre not exactly doritos, but ya know. it was just easier for me to say. i also enjoy veggie burritos, those should be okay, right?
Good choice and you're so lucky to have a doctor doing this too. Forget names, some people apply such an agenda to names like vegan.
I have been a vegan for the past three years and ate lots of seeds and nuts, hommus, bread 🥖 , I gained more weight than being vegetarian 🌱 about 10 kg . Thank you for the video this makes sense
“From martini to bikini!” 🤣 That’s why I ❤️ you, Chef AJ! You’re unapologetic, but still have a FANTASTIC and CLEVER sense of humor!
I love the ‘die’ in ‘diet’
Thank you so much for this you literally saved my life. I'm down 35 lb I got 30 more to go!
What did u eat?
Congratulations
“Nuts are really easy to overeat on ESPECIALLY if they are roasted ESPECIALLY when they are salted”
Me as a person whose favourite snack is roasted and salted almonds: 👁👄👁
I overeat raw almonds. Just love them.
Many of us have! We think it’s a healthful snack 🤣😂
.....Glazed with sugar....
@@sibongilethwala7080 I don't think anyone has ever not over eaten nuts.
This is the video that started my whole-food, plant based diet in March 2021. I forwarded this link to many people and promote your ideas to anyone that will listen! Thank you for helping me understand these concepts and the visuals are the greatest help!
Thanks for posting this video. I halfway watched it once before, but this time it really caught my attention.I have ate a plant based diet in the past and then started back eating dairy and seafood. Early last year I was told that I was Diabetic. I have tried off and on to start eating healthy and would always go right back to eating unhealthy. This video has made some much sense to me. I’m going to make a changer right away. Thank you so much.
I'm just reiterating what many have said. This is a phenomenal video. I really learn best by a visual presentation and chef AJ you delivered that so well. I appreciate your passion and time. As a vegan virtually my entire 56 years I feel I'm only learning now about plant based eating. I cant believe I ate so badly. Since education through your books and videos, I have not touched any vegan cheeses or meats. I have never eaten animals before and now it nauseates me to think that I was eating vegan food that was attempting to replicate flesh! Never again. Give me the veggies and beans anyway. Including all the gadgets my tiny kitchen is now collecting to emulate your recipes 😄🤭thank you 🙏
Best video I’ve watched ever. I’m 180 lbs. hope I can lose weight with this
You can! I weighed almost 200 lbs a year ago! I switched to whole food plant based last January and I've lost almost 45 pounds!
Yes, you can! I just lost over 45 lbs. in 5 months doing exactly this! (And I am 56 so I thought I was too old to lose the weight.)
@@VFDirector congratulations!
I eat 1200 cals a day, easy, weight 125 @ 5'.5" for 33 years! I was told by professor at Ohio State University, who was eating from smorgous board @the time, 7 words: "I just eat 1200 cals a day". You figure out for yourself how to get the most bang for your buck real fast (of course, I had already outlined all Adele Davis's book, so I understood "density" and I used to blow ppls mind's eating bowls of cucumbers, I took my own Tupperware containers to sorority club meetings!).
Guys this lady is an angel ! Just follow what she says and you will be living a life of joy . I have tried it after failing many diets .
i would try a keto diet. it is the opposite and works much better while not losing muscle but maintaining a beautiful skin. these skins of old ladies who are close to a vegan diet look like roadmaps because they lack in high quality amino acids
@@stefanweilhartner4415 you’re repeating Dr.Burgs nonsense here .
I have listened to this 5 times and it just never gets old 😃. Thank you
Excellent presentation! I will be passing this on to family and friends.
I have looked at this video again as a reminder and encourager to me.
So all oils have high calories/ My life is about to change. Thank you Jesus for bringing this video to me.
Olive oil too ?
@@shakeen583 yes
I feel the same way, I was like Lord I needed to see and hear this.
good information , good fast pace and no BS in the beginning of the presentation thank you
Chelsea Mae sent me to you. So glad I did. Thanks for doing this. Understand calorie density much better now.
Thank you so much. This was so helpful and informative
And then you want to add some sort of Walking or swimming or a Total Gym or something so you keep mussel. Remember mussel supports Bone. Enjoy improving your Life all the way around. God Bless You
I’m on a Mediterranean diet and eating fruit, nuts , seeds , lentils, black beans and vegetables with some sirloin and skinless chicken breast . I’ve lost 50 lbs. given up sugar and white flour and processed food.
Thank you so much for this information and encouragement!
This is great information. Thanks for sharing!
I dunno why, but the quote: "Hey bartender, give me some steamed kale" cracked me up xD
Chef you are best! Love all the comparison photos! (Australia)
OMG YOU ROCK SISTA. finally a CHEF learned in food biochemistry and human biology. OMG. Thank you for putting it ALL together amalgamating the body of info and PROVING it .
Ill be rewathing this again with my family this weekend.. Lifesaving info
This is a great video. Very well explained. I once saw something on Netflix about plant based being so good for your overall health. They Linked meats to all different health issues that America has such as Cancer and it made alot of sense.
I fortunately love veggies and l know that I feel less tired and more energetic when I eat more veggies and fruits.
Changed my life th-cam.com/users/postUgkxIUm04tAgSzlAhCWEr7VlRptRAMVsjeAC I will never eat the same ever again. "Unless you physically trip and your face lands in a box of donuts, there is no such thing as a 'slip'." Get that mind set and you'll win again and again.
I really enjoyed this lecture. I'm doing some research for my mom (and apparently I).
This is so helpful. Thank you Chef AJ.
Brilliant!! Thank you!!!❤️
You just happened to pop up in my videos and I’m glad you did! This was one of the best nutritional education videos I’ve seen on TH-cam. Thanks a bunch for your contribution to the community 😁✌🏻
Same here. Just happened to see this. And pick it.
Is white rice okay to eat on this diet
@@meganthearchitectbrown6912 Me too!
Amazing presentation thank you!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You really know your stuff. You are amazing!
This is the most educational video I've ever seen about food. Thanks so much Chef AJ. Learnt alot here.
Facts!
Thank you. Thank you so much for sharing this priceless information. Your genuine and you really want to folks smarten up about food intake and the comparison between two fries compared to a two potatoes sold me. I'll never eat the same again. I'm anxious to share this video. Best to you in 2021
Thank you so much,Chef AJ the information is incredible,you are brilliant and I will follow your plan with all my power and heart ,thank you
This is really awesome because the visuals really drive it home for people!
you explained processed foods better than I have ever seen or heard ,thank you so much this is the first day for me with cabbage vegetable diet .I'm 286lbs and I want to get to 190lbs . im 70 years old and cant work out like a mad man anymore. thanks again .
You will be amazed at how effortlessly the weight falls off once you start eating whole food plant based. My weight has just started falling off and I am very limited in the exercise I can do. Your body just knows what it needs.
Best of luck in your journey! 😊
I tired the mcdougal diet for 8 weeks, I only lost about 3lbs. I'm type 2 possibly type 1.5 diabetic. I didn't each much fruit or too many vegetables either. 2 servings oatmeal in the morning, rest of the day would be buckwheat, corn, lentils, peas, brown rice, whole wheat bread sometimes, whole wheat pasta sometimes, potatoes, sweet potato. My blood sugars did come down some. I even had dangerously low blood as sugar and hour after I took my usual 22 units of lantis. Another thing I've developed is a hunger pain in the back of my throat that basically won't go away even after my meal. My caloric intake is about 2200 a day on mostly starches. Is there anything that you can suggest to help me? I'm now trying sushi and eggs sometimes to see if the hunger pain will go away, thank you, love the videos and energy!
You're eating an ENERGY dense low fat diet and it would work better for weight loss to eat a NUTRIENT dense low fat diet--lots more salad and veggies. And if you can, eat the veggies and a glass of water BEFORE getting to the energy-dense oatmeal/bread/whole wheat pasta/potatoes. Making sure there are lots of legumes in there helps too--due to the "second-meal effect." Take care
You are worthy of the Nobel prize for the simplicity of information and the magic of persuasion!
I really enjoyed this. Thank you!! Love learning no matter the age keep learning 💕💕💕🥰👍🏾🏃🏾🍑🍇🍓🍊🍋🍍🥑🫑🧅🫒🧄🥒🥬🥕🥦
I'm WFPB. Every morning I drink about a quart of cocoa, made from plant milk, unsweetened cocoa powder and a shot of stevia/erythritol. Dr. Greger likes it, I like it, it doesn't jack me and it's nice to wake up to this hot drink
@downbntout that sounds so good.
@@jami29841 I've since switched to decaf after reading about high lead content in chocolate products
Chef AJ just stated her age. AGAIN. Man. I can’t believe how shocked I am. I don’t surprise easily.
KILLING IT 👊🏼
Eat until you feel fed, not until you feel full.
Exactly. That's my goal too. I want to be nourished, not full.
Wow, very eye opening. Thank you.❤
Best video ever! Love Chef AJ. She makes so much sense, and explains it in such a down to earth, easy to understand way. Thank you!
This is brilliant. Thank you so much so informative I’ll watch this again 🥬🥦💞
Bless you , AJ! Bless you!
Chef AJ, Thank you for this!!! I was becoming upset because there are so many people on TH-cam telling one that fruit is bad one. Even though that goes against my common sense, they are supposed to be experts.
Try nutritionfacts.org. The studies reported there are listed below the vids are posted for all to see. You or anyone can see that the science is clean and strong. Use their search box that's in the stack at the top of the page. There are about 2000 commercial-free vids. Dr. Greger draws no wage and his book sales go for charity. His grandma was in the Dean Ornish study, terminally ill, and got rid of heart disease to live 30 more years. He saw this at 8 years old and wanted to make people well, so he became a doctor, but that industry horrified him. Ornish's work was buried and he decided to see what other actual science also got buried. Hence his site, his team and his passion.
I just found out about it today and I’m starting today. And thank you to all your followers for their motivational messages as well
Same!!
3 year vegan!
Valorie, how has it been working out for you? Any weight loss?
@@michaelspicer8978 Same question.
@@michaelspicer8978 I first tried this about 10 years ago and lost 18 pounds in 1 month and was NOT hungry. At the time I weighed 240pounds so I'm quite fat. I did the plate method too. 1/2 plate non-starchy veg, 1/4 bean/lentil, 1/4 minimally processed starch. I added a bowl of Vegetable soup to lunch and dinner. Ate oatmeal for breakfast. I limited fruits to 3 pieces per day because it is a binge food for me. Now I'm going to do this again but stay at it.
Great visuals really bring it home!! Thanks A.J.!!
No one has ever gotten fat from eating non- starchy veggies. That's a fact jack!
And no gets fat from eating fat
I wish I knew THAT most of my life!

I am going to do this too, tired of trying everything else!
Thanks for this great sharing Ma'am.
Love it.
Well explained! This should be watched by many.
My first time to watched and heard this. I hope I can find your book in our local book store. Thank you for sharing ❤
Wow. Awesome presentation. Am in!
This is the best practicable Nutrition lecture I have ever understood. Thankyou very much
This so informative. Thanks 🤩
This is such a great talk, makes soo much sense
OK!! I am all in on the veggies and baked potatoes. I need to lose 80 lbs... Thank you so much for this video
This is very helpful thank you. 😊
Thank you . Beautiful and inspirational video . Very well explained
Chef AJ! Such wonderful information! I hear bits of McDougal, Esselstyn and Fuhrman! You've packed the most rich info into an economy of words, and dumbed it down for people like me! Thanks!
Bless humanistic plant-based workers. "We cannot segregate the human heart from the environment outside us and say that once one of these is reformed everything will be improved. Man is organic with the world. His inner life molds the environment and is itself deeply affected by it." ~ Baha'i Faith
This is great information!
1. Any fruit is ok..like mango, papaya, etc
2. You mention rice and millets are ok but what about 100% whole wheat flour?
All fruits are okay, but ww flour is not a whole food. Try to eat your grains in the most whole form possible. So, brown rice is better than brown rice flour.
OMG! Thanks for the valuable free advice . Will purchase your book because I need help cooking deliciously healthy:/
Thank you. That was very informative and interesting.
This was very helpful. Not ready to become vegan/vegetarian but it definitely provided me with enough info to make better choices.
Is white rice okay to eat on this diet
@@biancapereat9075 No, it's processed food and same as white bread. Pretty much anything 'white' isn't good for this diet - sugar, bread, flour, rice, milk
