I was doing the keto for 5 year’s and my wife and family kept telling that diet wasn’t healthy .I didn’t listen until I couldn’t take that high fat diet anymore.. when September started I my journey on plant based ..I lost more belly fat being on the plant based diet.I bought the forks over knives book.love it already.
I can’t BELIEVE how UNDERRATED is Chef AJ. She ought to be on tv everywhere, the main go-to for the most useful, sought-after health issues (Halp, I’m FAT!). The world is such a scam. Chef AJ is top gangster 👊🏼
I used to do long hours (24-36 hours or OMAD)of fasting and lost 15 pounds in a month and look younger . However fasting got me binge eating.the weight lost gained back so fast within 1 week.now I no longer do longer hour fasting and gradually dropped weight as I eat within 8- hour window and eat a lot vegetables and at least 1 pound sweet potato or any other Japanese or jersey potatoes each meal with other plant based protein. My skin is so clear and feeling sooo good. Fasting longer than 16 hours does not work for me but I can do 16 hours with 8 hour window. I am happy that I find the sweet spot and thank you so much. Chef AJ. I listened to you and eat starch, eat vegetables for lunch.( I do not eat breakfast). Eating food in Green area makes me happy , satisfied and I am not very happy with my weight(128 pounds)
I’ve been a vegan for 2 years now… IT SAVED MY LIFE, ABSOLUTELY THE TRUTH! 75lbs melted away. However I plateaued …..I still have a sugar issue, but use Nosalt and Very VERY minimal oil, although now that will be less! Watching this EXPLAINED IT ALL! Omg my mind is blown! ThankYou thank you thank you! I always thought Forks over Knives was just a vegan cooking thing… WOW ! ITS THE ANSWER IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR 💫✨🌈🙏🌎🧬❤️🥰
I so appreciate everything that was covered, as well as Chef AJ genuine demeanor. I have been leaning towards not eating as much meat, but all these diets against carbs messed up my thinking for so long. I love potatoes and oatmeal, which I now learn satiate hunger. Eating just salads and vegetables just wasn’t giving me what I felt I needed. Thank you for giving me the freedom of eating the Whole foods God created for us. Again, I am so very grateful! Take care and keep up the good work.
Another great video! We are both in our 80's and all about healthy-aging! We have both overcome devastating life-threatening illnesses and believe in maintaining a strong body, a calm mind, & a positive outlook. We recently created our healthy-aging advice TH-cam channel to inspire & help people of any age. Always learn a lot here.
The misquote was that Chef AJ has been dedicated to WFPB for 43 years. I learned a lot from her honesty about being an overweight unhealthy vegan for many years. I believe she came to WFPB much more recently than age 17! Maybe she was around 50. Vegan is good, but, it’s much easier to eat junk as a vegan which AJ shares very well in her books.
So many takeaways! Eating low starch veggies! While I was listening to this broadcast I made some minestrone soup with all fresh produce from the farmers market. I’m so inspired to practice and keep developing heathy habits, like preparing in advance for every day of your life and take your instant pot, girl! I would🙂 I’ve done that and taken my juicer for fresh celery juice every morning. It replaced my coffee.
Hello there, have you considered this diet plan known as the Okibetonic Secrets? My cooworker says it helps people lost plenty of weight. Is that possible? I also noticed many good review relating to this diet plan. Thoughts?
SOFAS...this subject definitely registers for me. I have some trigger foods for sure. So thankful for these free interviews! Chef AJ, you are so helpful.
Intermittent fasting and toning exercise greatly reduced loose skin. I've lost around 100 lbs. I eat very close to chef AJ style, but only a 6 he window and mild toning at least every other day. It's not a quick process, but sticking with the process has reduced loose skin in my back and abdomen...not gone, but so much less.
@@JoAnn_Vegan_USA thank you. It's been a journey for sure, but March marks five years keeping the weight off. I thought it was impossible and about gave up, especially since I'm in my fifty's, but whole food makes it possible.
Great interview and Chef A J is a marvellous example of how it is possible to change habits and transform your life - very informative and truly inspiring because its not only theoretically convincing but it is showing in practice easy and simple ways to make it possible for everybody - its awonderfull powertalk
We definitely are in the number 1 category - have lost 30 pounds in 2 months and I'm now within a normal weight. We will eat like this forever because it tastes so good and I never feel deprived!
Wasn’t familiar with this lady, but I am loving what she says and how she says if. Her pace and phrasing is so pleasant! I listen to a lot of Audible books, and wish she was a Narrator! If she writes her own copy, too, then WOW what a combo!

God bless you both! This interview really find me. I have been vegan since 10 years, I started very good, eating a lot of raw and fruits, no salt no oil, I was in fanstastic shape. Then some years pass by, a lot happened, I was travelling and I was not being able to cook for myself and I gain some weight. I start to fast and I started to think that something was off in my body. I was already eating vegan and gluten free, and no sugar mostly, but I still had cravings about more complex and process food. I started the keto diet, mostly a vegan version, and it really fucked me up. I start to binge eating, which I never done before. After 6-7 months of trying and failing miserably, during another fast, I had the light bulb switching on in my brain, and I was definitely DONE with any animal product's doubt, and with the low-carb non-sense, thanks God. I am now a bit overweight, not too much, and I am going to cut out oil and salt to get those kilos away. Thank you Chef AJ and Dr. Cyrus. God bless you! Your work is hugely important!
I really learned a lot listing to this presentation. However, I have several questions that I hope can be answered in the other comments, sessions or by visiting Chef AJ's site. I really appreciate your work & it's helping me to drastically improve my health! Thank You!

I'm 41 and been vegan for 4 months now. I'm very thankful for finding a bunch of the doctors and such that are helping people like me. I lost all my weight before I went vegan but i'm trying to sustain my weight, get muscle and .... LIVE LONGER.... I ate horribly for 40 years and .... yeah. Please let me know if you would ever like to talk about this. I'm working on my documentary as we speak to show and help the world.
Excellent! I have been a whole food plant based eater for 12 years now and only just learned how bad oil ( processed) is for our bodies! Who knew? Thank you for this and even extra virgin olive oil gone! :) I also cook the whole weeks wholegrain brown rice cooked and in the freezer and lentils or pulses cooked and in the freezer... quinoa is quick and easy so do not prepare that in advance....... brilliant advice, thank you!
I'm good all day with portion control. At dinner time I tend to overeat. I can overeat on vegetables and plant food and nuts. My triggered food is nuts, peanut butter on brown toast! I struggled to stick with one slice! I try to resolve this problem by going outdoor to exercise for a walk or a run in the evening. This helps to keep my binging demon at bay! I'm was exhausted after the exercise I don't fancy binging !!! I have lost 5kg doing plant based but I find the last 3kg to lose is hard as I allowed peanut butter back in my life! I pray I have self control not to eat peanuts and stick with low density food🙏🙏🙏 ( My family don't eat like me, I'm always surrounded by crisps, biscuits, chocolates and peanut butter!)
@@jgrysiak6566 not getting enough protein from plants. My stomach couldn't digest beans, lentils properly. I was getting acid reflux swelling belly and farting everywhere I went. My colleagues and friends took the micky and my husband moaned about the smell all the time. I was getting to me in the end.
Thank you for this very informative video. You reinforced many of the things I have been learning about in the past year and new things to watch out for/factor in going forward. I was surprised there was no mention of drinking enough water to stay hydrated. One of the immediate benefits I observed when I increased my water intake was ALL of my snacking and cravings stopped. I wonder if others have noticed this benefit?
Fruits and vegetables are full of water and hydrate us well, so we don't need to drink a lot of water on top of it. However, if you eat a lot of grains, which are drying and don't contain much water then yes, you need more hydration.
So much good information in this stream. Thank you!! Chef AJ, how can I make oil-free dressings for my salads? I have a friend who can eat her salads plain - NO DRESSING at all (I envy her 😀). I need a little something on my salads. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Exercise is important for brain health, bone health, immune function, cardiovascular health and it helps with weight maintenance because it increases will power and self esteem and when both of these things are high you have a greater chance of sticking to a healthy eating plan. Exercise helps rewire the brain and helps with addictions. Exercise makes you look longer and leaner regardless of your weight. - Chef AJ
@Alice Denise. I could absolutely cry when you talk about exercise because it's so true. I suffer from a severe mitochondria problem, and autoimmune diseases, and asthma and I miss exercising so much. I'm just too exhausted
Hello chef AJ. Thank you so much for your generosity on sharing this valuable information. I couldn't help but to laugh when you said that the fiber is in the box, not in the cereal 😁
When my weight loss stalls on the whole food plant based way of eating, it is always because I am eating one or more of the following: dried fruit, dates, juice, tahini, peanut butter ir other nut butters, seeds such as flax seeds ir sunflower seeds, nuts, avocados, or anything made from any flour of any kind including Ezekiel bread or corn tortillas. If I am honest with myself and cut those things out and eat a salad for breakfast, i always start losing weight again.
@@LeeNacola It is a really hard habit to break! I feel your pain! Lately I have been making a smoothie with one frozen banana, a cup of almond milk, and two tablespoons of PB2 peanut butter powder. That has been helping me a lot to wean myself off of peanut butter.
long story short......left chicken out all night.....got home from work (cant micrOwave or toaster oven bacteria away!!!....dangit ate broccoli and beans. Got full!!! watch forks over knives, cowspiracy, what the health...nearly dead, and a few other vegan netflix situation. Been 99.9% vegan since 2013 weighed 278 in 2013........205 RIGHTNOW. I refuse to be a slave to anything or anyone at anytime. Thank my story. THANK HEAVEN!!!!
I’m a Type2 Diabetic. Got my A1c down to 5.8. I’d like to switch all the way over to Plant based whole food. Any recommended books to get me started? I need to lose 60 lbs. I have the first 70 lbs. off. Thank you! Also, I’m a 63 year old, retired ICU Nurse.
as I watch this video what I contemplate is how much physical weight I have to release: (75.2 Lbs to be precisely exact!) for the sake of my health and for my well-being. the thing is though... I realize that I desperately also hold on to all the excess weight: for safety and for comfort. dear God, please please please, help the weight dissolve off of me, and please help me to no longer have the need to hold on to any of it, for the illusion of safety and protection. I am ready to be permanently, forever released from these shackles...

Exercise is important for brain health, bone health, immune function, cardiovascular health and it helps with weight maintenance because it increases will power and self esteem and when both of these things are high you have a greater chance of sticking to a healthy eating plan.

1,2,3,4, congratulations on your PhD Cyrus.. Lots of work! WFPB since 2013. Still struggling. 10-16-22. Never saw those FOK salad dressings before.
Excellent presentation!!! Truly superb...wow💕💕💚💚💙💙🧡🧡💜💜🙏🙏
Aww creamy Italian and Balsamic Fig is sold out! Love all your videos guys!
Plant based here! And omg the weight is not budging from where it is. Even when I do intermittent fasting
When my weight loss stalls on the whole food plant based way of eating, it is always because I am eating one or more of the following: dried fruit, dates, juice, tahini, peanut butter ir other nut butters, seeds such as flax seeds ir sunflower seeds, nuts, avocados, or anything made from any flour of any kind including Ezekiel bread or corn tortillas. If I am honest with myself and cut those things out and eat a salad for breakfast,
i always start losing weight again.
@@rebeccamouse9294 Omg 😳 That is exactly what I am doing!! Thank you! I eat the peanut butter from the jar with spoon!
@@LeeNacola It is a really hard habit to break! I feel your pain! Lately I have been making a smoothie with one frozen banana, a cup of almond milk, and two tablespoons of PB2 peanut butter powder. That has been helping me a lot to wean myself off of peanut butter.
@@rebeccamouse9294 Well I broke it today. Lol. I hope I will stay consistent with it.
@@LeeNacola Good for you! If you are not 100% consistent, just keep trying to make your consistent streaks a bit longer each time. You got this!
long story short......left chicken out all night.....got home from work (cant micrOwave or toaster oven bacteria away!!!....dangit ate broccoli and beans.

I’m a Type2 Diabetic. Got my A1c down to 5.8. I’d like to switch all the way over to Plant based whole food. Any recommended books to get me started? I need to lose 60 lbs. I have the first 70 lbs. off. Thank you! Also, I’m a 63 year old, retired ICU Nurse.
as I watch this video what I contemplate
is how much physical weight I have to release:
(75.2 Lbs to be precisely exact!)
for the sake of my health
and for my well-being.
the thing is though...
I realize that I desperately also
hold on to all the excess weight:
for safety and for comfort.
dear God, please please please,
help the weight dissolve off of me,
and please help me to no longer have the need
to hold on to any of it, for the illusion
of safety and protection. I am ready
to be permanently, forever released
from these shackles...
What book does chef AJ recommend for a first time reader of her books. Recipes as well as her plans for optimum health?
Love the cat!
Lmaooooooooo that cereal box joke lolololol AJ 😩😩😩!
I just realized I’m addicted to process foods. Damn
Me too, more than I knew
It takes a few days of eating simply to reprogram yourself, but once you do, the other stuff will taste too sweet/salty/processed/heavy.
@@universalsoldier2293 so true!
