I have sweet potato for breakast. It's funny that you mentioned 4 cups. I find myself measurimg out 2 cups sweet potatoes and 2 cups cabbage, broccoli or something green. It works pretty well to keep a balance
Started with McDougall Book a couple weeks ago, this led to finding you! So glad! You really generously clarify everything!!! Thanks! ❤
Thank you Chef AJ. Bless you. Love from The Netherlands

Soo much info soo interesting thankyou it really does help thankyou
I did take a bite of a stevia leaf, about 20 yrs ago, my friend had it growing in his garden & i was there WOOFING - WOOFER Work On Organic Farms for room & board & to learn about organic farming/ It was VERY sweet .. This is a great video, glad i found it xo p,s- i should watch to the end b4 commenting. I remembered u saying this about artifical sweeteners b4, & just said to hubby earlier today, i rather eat regular sugar, in the ketchup, than the artifical sweeteners !! He is borderline diabetic, so ~~~
Greetings Chef, thank you so much for sharing your weight loss foods and healthful information. I will try this. Have a great day.
I love you and your inspiration Chef AJ. You are so full of energy that I have a hard time following you since you speak so quickly.
I am going to try really hard to incorporate your wissom into my eating plan. Thank you kindly!
You're so welcome...all the best!
Me too.... so glad I came across your video yesterday. I want to get back my size 7/8 body again. You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing everything with us!
watching older videos, to help an instructor & counselor out with a workshop , about health & wellness & weigh loss. was my first time watching this one. while eating my huge bowl of sweet spuds , broccoli & brussels sprouts. I haven't used artifical sweeteners for many yrs., but, i did taste a stevia leaf once, in the early 2000;s, yes, it was very sweet.. I finally gave up alcohol, at age 66, even tho for many yrs i had only 1 drink at night, mixed with OJ, i am lucky i wasn't addicted to sodas. sorry to comment so much, well, i guess i did watch this b4, my memory has been injured by breathing in chemicals. take care I been batch cooking all day, back & forth, in & out to the screen room, did some spinning out there while hubby sat in there, after work. 🥔🥦🍠💪👍
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.
That was a fun video 😍 you have so much energy 💪🏼🦾💪🏼
You are a true inspiration. Thank you for this video.
You are so welcome
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...
Thank you for showing us the foods you eat and making the salad
You're welcome!
After watching you for years I've finally joined UWL and I ordered an Ulu today too! So excited :)
Welcome!!!
Thank you for your videos. I’ve been watching since February 2020 but still consider myself new! Because life work and what have you. I have lost 50 pounds but have hit a major plateau. Halloween came and I tried some SAD foods. Good news is I spit them all out. My taste buds have changed. SOS free. But have stopped eating so many vegetables. Eating more whole starches at every meal. Your channel is reminding me of the ease of veggies. I have NOT figured out my pressure cooker yet. Going to explore more of your videos to inspire me to try it. For some reason I’m intimidated. Thank you for giving us your time and wisdom. Cheers!
Have no desire to eat chocolate anymore after my fat withdrawal.
If I eat a little avocado or any nuts now, I'm running to a toilet for a B.M.
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.
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.
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.
@@BridgesCourt , just eat when hungry not when the clock says. By skipping meals u will get faster to goal weight!
Thank you you inspire me to be healthy
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!!
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 ❤
AJ you're arms look so firm now the workouts are really working out!
Thanks
Love you Chef AJ, Gustavo, Charles and Bailey! Thank you everyone!
Loveeee you Chef AJ!😍🥰
First Timer!!! During the first 10 minutes I considered stopping and moving onward but, then I was so intrigued by Chef AJ's passion I had to continue and then I was SOLD!!! The man asking questions though sounded like the Mystery Captain in Mork & Mindy as his voice was muffled and in stereo. Will be watching as many as are available. I love my salad this way my Mom always makes it this way, I cannot wait to tell her, she is 86 and DYNOMITE although I am starting to cry as she was told she has maybe a year to live last November due to a Aortic Aneurysm that is inoperable other than this my Mom is so smart to sharp but, her Twin died of same thing 3 years ago only they operated and it left her stroked out, my Mom does not want that. Thank you Chef AJ I love watching YOU!!!! XXOO
I'm glad you enjoy watching 😊 So sorry to hear about your mom's situation!
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!
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!
Chef AJ, I am already a vegan, and a McDougaller. But I gained a bit of weight over the winter. I am reading your book, The secret to Ultimate Weight Loss. I have considerably improved a chronic pain issue in my neck from an injury about 30 years ago. I was wondering if your back still gives you pain, and whether this diet has helped with this pain. I still have some bad painful days, and I really want that to get better. Thanks for all you do for us! You have more energy than anyone I have ever seen!! I would like some of that energy!
I could listen to chef aj all the time if i had the time shes so smart and funny.
A yoga practice has helped me managed my back pain
Love the video!
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! =)
You know, in my 20's I was 5'7.5", then in my 40's at a PE for work, I measured 5'6" every year until I did yoga twice a week for a year then my height went back to 5'7.5". Weird how that works. I havent done yoga for years. I wonder what my height is now. Just a weird thing that part of the video about Chef AJ's height reminded me of. Thanks for sharing AJ.
Hey chef AJ, it's fun to watch you, but when you're talking about what you eat everyday and how you prepare what food, you talk entirely way too fast you're on speed hi. Yeah it's like you're speeding along on drugs talking a million miles an hour oh my God take a breath slow down how can anybody understand or better yet I don't even want to listen I'll just tune you out and go somewhere else. Like I said it's fun to watch you and listen to you but when you're like this I can't sit by and watch and listen I'm sorry.
@@harvdog5669 wow, this was hard to read because of no interpunctuation or spaces.
You can simply turn down the speed on TH-cam if it bothers you.
I usually turn up the talking speed and like her talking speed a lot.
I’m new to your videos which I love. You talk so fast hard for me to keep up.
chef aj "i never make any bad food choices because i am always prepared" THANK YOU!!!
:)
yessssss this is super helpful
This is my favorite video. So inspiring
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your videos. I just joined a produce delivery service, for organic fruit and veggies. My friend uses it. I live in a tiny southern town and I can't get organics anywhere. I just bought your book... thank you
Glad you can order organic produce! Hope you enjoy the book♥️
What do you put on your dishes for seasonings or what about a dressing on the potatoes and vegetables
I found you on utube today, you are my answer to my prayers
thank you, thank you, thank you,
Chef AJ ❤️
Fantastic! Thank you
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.
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
Thx k you I added starch to my salad wow what a difference!!!
What do you recommend on your husband’s morning veggies?
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)?
LOVE THIS CHEF A>J> is a ROCK STAR!!!!!!
Thank you♥️
Wait, hold up! Use my broth to water my plants??!!?? Awesome!!! Mind BLOWN!!! 🤯 Thanks you guys!!
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.
Chef AJ is so amazing!
Hi Chef AJ. Love what you do. Love your channel!!!
Do you do zoom consultations with people? Please let me know. Thanks!
I do phone consultations that can be scheduled here: ginger@eatunprocessed.com
Yes, Charles is very handsome and you are beautiful, Chef AJ!! I've been eating the same way since May 16, 2021 (date of this comment: June 27, 2021) and have NOT starved myself at all and have lost 23 pounds already! I just cannot slow down the weight loss even if I try. So happy!!
You got this!
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 made veg broth twice but was too scared to use it! 😂 I will do this tho because I love learning new things !
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!
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!
My fav veggie is green beans with sliced onions all cooked together. YUM. And I steam a bunch of potatoes then shred them into hash browns and I love onions and mushrooms in those fried in a hot cast iron skillet. OH YUM
I have a double bladed salad chopper. I hate it. Veggies cram between the blades. I sometimes use my pizza cutter.
Chef AJ has become one of my favorites.
What was the code for the Instapot and where can you get it? Thanks so much!! -33 thanks to eating this way!!!!! Still learning and loving Chef AJ
It is $10 of at www.InstantPot.com with code AJ
I love the Vegan sweatshirt! Is it still available? Where can I buy it?
I tried to find the largest sweet potatoes yesterday and I roasted in oven and I must say they were sooo sweet I tasted and then ate the entire sweet potato . Thanks chef AJ
They are the best!
Chef AJ is an inspiration 🥰
Thank you!
What about dishes that call for coconut milk. Particularly curry or butter (not animal) sauces made with coconut milk in the can.
Vicki you can put coconut extract in almond milk
Tomato paste in a tube makes a good ketchup substitute.
I love the one from Trader Joe's. Soooooo delish! Great idea!
I'm allergic to black pepper as well -- my work around is dill seed :=)
What is brand of vinegar? Could not understand it or read the label. Thanks! And I love your videos!
Napa Valley Naturals Grand Reserve 4% acidity
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 :)
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
What do you eat for breakfast? Oat meal okay?
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!
I really need to master sweet potatoes. Im terrible with them!
Chef AJ is energetic and cute she is so motivating.
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 absolutely love Chef AJ!!! She is awesome and I love the potato song!!! Lol ☺😘
Thank you
@@CHEFAJ you are very welcome!☺
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
I'm eating a chopped salad right now.
:)
Super inspiring - what was rhe name of chef A J’s preferred vinegar?
California something...
my mom always told me to pull my insta pots out more so they dont steam the underside of the cabinets
Beautiful family!! 💕😊🌸💕🍀
Thank you! 🤗
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 apples in my salad
I've been watching you forever and I keep meaning to ask you what happens when you eat black pepper? Like always, I want to thank you for doing these videos every week! Love them!
Thank you!
Do you put something on the broccoli? Sauce, plant based cheese? It's hard to eat broccoli plain for me.
thank you for your videos! I suppose that your crunchy could be called Snappy :)
Great idea!
Do you use a salad dressing? I struggle with making a good, healthy dressing. I'm not a fan of lemon juice on my salads. I haven't watched enough videos to know your opinion on avocados. Do you eat avocados or use them to dress salads? Trying to make salads more enticing as I'm not a big fan of salads in general.
Hi Nora, I don't know if you found a dressing you like it but if you go to Nutmeg notebook website or blog and search for her Creamy Balsamic Dressing . It is really good. I use only one fourth cup of the balsamic vinegar instead of half cup
Use California Balsamic for dressing. I do not eat avocados too high in fat.
i find that if i add an apple and chop all salad with ulu the flavors infuse and i dont need any dressing i also throw some cooked veggies up on top of that and omg yummmmy !
Can you eat like a veggie smoothie with a small amount of fruit in it .?
