I've read all the books, and I've attended a great deal of programs (even True North) and all I have to say is that you've made the biggest impact on my life. You have a way of pulling all the pieces and parts together to make this all make sense and most importantly, "user friendly". THANK YOU Chef AJ!
Hi chef AJ I love the content. Im proud to say Im 2 weeks In the plantbased diet. My.question is you say eat 2p pounds of greens. How can i make my veggie delicious and instead of bland and boring. Please advice also on salt . I add salt but very little. Really appreciate your advise 🙏 😊
I hope this is not a redundant question. How do you eat your 2lbs of greens, raw or do you cook them? Since hitting my late 40's it seems no matter what I do I cannot take the pounds off. Eating mostly plant based, going to bed hungry every night and still nothing. I cannot wait to see if eating your way will be the ticket to success. I am certain I do not get enough greens in. Thank you!!
It stimulates the appetite so you eat more making it difficult for some to lose weight. For some it is a trigger food that caused overeating. It also raises blood pressure. You can learn to enjoy the taste of whole natural food without it but it takes about 30 days of going without.
Much love to you. Legumes cause allergies with a lot of people. Grains are GM foods and have been modified so much now they are carcinogenic. While foods good yes but not whole grains. Plant based raw is best for optimum health not just weight loss.
My nutritionist is all in ok about being vegan but she tells me to avoid regular potato because it's not good and eat swear potato instead .I can eat one swear potato every now and then but I live regular potatoes.what do you think chef AJ?
Lost 30 pounds in about 4 months using calorie density as a guide, just like she is describing..broccoli is my go to “filler” with other tasty “sides” like tofu, other veggies, quinoa, rice, fresh herbs, and I add tasty homemade sauces to make it delicious..love Chef AJ and the many others out there with the same message!
Abbie Jaye I am now watching this video for probably the 100th time. You have helped me so much AJ. I've quit some horrible habits thanks to you. I always go back to this video though! It really says it all, and in a quick and easy way. Thank you
Abbie Jaye Hey where can I get that PCRM Power plate shirt? Want that and the aprons so bad!! :) I want Dr. Goldhammer watching my every move in my kitchen too
My wife is also 54 and we are both on a 90 day program to clean and detox our gut... In 22 days she has lost 13 lbs and me 10...I ran into this video and just found it spectacular! I am heading to the kitchen to make some of your yummy food... I will look for your book at Barnes and Noble... Btw, you look fabulous and gorgeous!
This was a great video. My son and his wife are both vegans now, and I would love to join them. I have a lot of weight to lose, and your story is inspiring. Thank you.
Her story is truly inspiring. It’s a reminder that we can channel our suffering into great things. She (and you and me!) wouldn’t be the incredible person she is today without going through all she did. She is very generous sharing her hard won insights. So positive and uplifting!
I'm convinced that the big investors and analysts are trying to scare us to keep us poor and ignorant to the market.. because its steady doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks
This is an old video but it is so much appreciated as it’s timeless. Love the regular guests on Chef AJ too. For anyone having trouble with weight, health, or how to manage nutrition, the information on Chef AJ and the education on cooking, food, and more with her guests is a godsend.
I started eating the 2 pounds of green a day last week. I also added 1/2 of brown rice with each serving of my greens, I lost 4 pounds last week. I was full and not hungry. Thanks Chef AJ
I can't get past eating a pound of greens for breakfast. I can do it in a smoothie with some bananas though. But, I still prefer oatmeal and berries. But, good for her.
AJ, I can't believe how wonderful and educational this video is. I'm going to start eating a pound of greens per day. Then try 2 pounds per day. Again, I'm so thankful for you, I wish I could give you a big hug.
You are marvelous and very inspiring. Please, keep the videos coming. I like that you are articulate, organized, and your videos are chock full of good information.
YUMMY SAUCE Ingredients: 1 x 15 ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (or 1.5 cups of cooked beans) Juice and zest of one organic lemon (if the lemon does not yield 1/4 of a cup of juice, then add more lemon juice) 1/2 cup water 2 Tablespoons salt-free mustard (I use Westbrae Stoneground) 3/4 ounce pitted dates (approximately 3 deglet noor dates) 1 clove garlic Preparation: Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If you are using a high-powered blender, you can make this sauce warm to serve over rice and veggies. It is also delicious cold massaged into shredded cabbage for "Yummy Slaw". :)
Mcdougall diet convert here: 8 or so weeks and down 16 pounds! I feel better, I know I am healthier! I get a cholesterol test in 8 weeks, and then talk to my doctor. She should be impressed quite a bit as long as I hang in there! I did bad on a few days and ate the Progresso bread crumbs, but they are gone now. Potatoes and other items fill me fine! Goal is another 21 pounds to be 150 pounds: It'll be a total loss of 40 pounds. It's not hard work. I'm never hungry eating these starches: potatoes, beans and rice. I have a good combination of them now to get my nutrients. I can go over if I work out.
Great and inspiring talk - but I have never seen a place in Denmark where it would be possible to get Brown Rice in a restaurant or prepaired in a sLad bar. We can hope that times are changing and that it will be easy to get truly healthy whole food no salt, no oil plant based food. But until then we will have to improvise and do the best in our kitchens
I realize this is an older post and I have just found this today. I have recently transitioned part-time into a vegan lifestyle from a vegetarian lifestyle after losing 100 pounds. I have many health problems and I'm only 45 years old. I have had covid earlier this year and I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow because I'm having some problems. But I'm committed to my health and after seeing this video I can see how easy it is to plan ahead and make sure that my health is top priority in terms of food prep. Thank you for such an encouraging video! Hopefully this plateau I'm in will be over with pretty soon and I can continue on my weight loss journey as I have another 140 lb to lose! You inspire me!
All the best to you in your health journey, and thanks for sharing your story! If you ever need support, consider trying my feel fabulous over forty group--2 week trial for free. feelfabulousoverforty.com
You are a true inspiration. I have about 150 pounds to lose and I lost 7 of those this week by eating red lentil chili, rainbow fiesta rice, and vegetables for breakfast. We like kale and mushrooms over a bit of polenta for breakfast. I have so much energy to ride my bike. Love and Kale to you, Chef AJ :)
Thanks for the great advice. I enjoyed watching you on Jon McMahon's documentary, too. I also appreciate that you have a normal, average, modest kitchen and not some fancy, newly remodeled stainless, granite, trendy, keeping up with the Joneses, looks like everyone else's until it goes out of style in a few years kitchen.
Do I have to have a lot of variety when I am just starting or can I pick some simple things to make over and over and just prep the same thing for week after week until I get over cravings and adjust? And can I do starchy veg and no whole grains or do I HAVE to have whole grains?
I had to cut dairy, eggs, sugar, rice, corn, and white potatoes, and I found that turnips, all causes a whole lot of mucus in my system. Those foods make me feel like I have the Flu, crossed with Asthma. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, AJ! You are so awesome! I have made these dishes, and my husband loves them. And he's the one who doesn't think he's eaten unless there was meat & potatoes & gravy. =)
Umm...I need to find my parents tortilla press! Out here in the midwest we do not have all the salt free oil free options. "Nachos" are my family's downfall!
Hi Chef AJ! Thanks for sharing these tips and tasty recipes! My daughter's birthday is also March 22 so I am taking this as a sign!! Big hugs to you from me - a mum in Canada who needs to shed 40 pounds. You have inspired me! :)
I have seen Chef AJ on an off at Summerfest for years. She looks more beautiful now as she gets older! Thanks for sharing your example. Love your book!
I am doing your 21 Day Challenge and this video really helped to me finally strategize what I will eat each day and ensure I get in my 2lbs of non-starchy vegetables. So for breakfast/brunch I can have 1lb steamed cruciferous veggies and lunch 1lb Big Beautiful Chopped Salad (Nutmeg Notebook) and dinner cooked starches. I definitely like the loaded potatoes idea of just combining items like Chipotle. Thanks again for this video & caring enough to share this life saving information 👏🏿👍🏾😉🤗
Your cookbook is destined to become a classic. How about the title: "The Joy of Eating" ? A simple yet elegant title for a classy chef's creation! Thanks for all you do!
Ooh my gosh, i love you, im soooooo glad i found you by accident looking for i can't remember and the first video i watched i fell in love with and subscribed so i don't loose you and continued looking for whatever it was i was looking for. This is my second video I've watched so far and just listening to your journey is exactly what I've been looking for. ❤ ❤ ❤. I'll be binge watching you till i catch up on all your videos and i will also share. Wow ❤ you are a true blessing. ❤
I use to eat this way. I read Dr. Dean ornish 's book. Eat more and weigh less. Same concept and I didn't go hungry. I lost 11 pounds in one week without exercise. I didn't even notice till my mom said... I think you lost weight ! I said I don't think so. I couldn't believe my scale! I just kept stepping on and off of it as if it was broke. I had been bedridden for more then a year and gained a bunch of weight. I was thrilled when it melted off. People also kept asking what I did. I changed my eating is what I told them. Sometimes they would ask me what I was eating and I told them. Some were disappointed cause they loved meat ect.. It's definitely something you want to change. Cuddos to you ! Great job ! Keep us going you inspired me today !
I recently had a health scare which has made me give up sugar completely (not an easy task as I have a massive sweet tooth!), I now eat fresh vegetables almost everyday and sometimes replace them with legumes. Now to switch to brown rice.

Thanks Chef AJ for sharing your wonderful recipes. One of my favorite foods is chicken noodle soup made with bouillon cubes (no chicken) just spinach or kale and pasta. I enjoyed your interview routine with the True North Doctors Goldhammer and Lisle.
I’m so happy to have found you I’m diabetic and refuse to take medicines or pinch my fingers so I will follow you and see what will happen I now became vegan
Jaime Bronsztein please consider reading a book by Dr. Neal Barnard called reversing diabetes. You can also join my program for free for two weeks feelfabulousoverforty.com/register/
Nice to meet you . That is awesome you lost all that weight ...I do know Doctor Mc Dougle he was our Doctor for the Hamakua Coast Honokaa Imfirmry around 1976... I have his very first book. But I like to learn from you how you prepare your meal ... I need to loose at lest 40 lbs right now I am 174. 2008 I was 198. Today I am 70 years old . Congratulations on how you lost your weight ..✨🎄✨🙋🏼♀️💕
My husband and I have been vegetarian almost a year. please help me cross over into vegan. For the LIFE of me I can't get off the cheese I am so addicted. Also I can't eat these volumes because before I had all this information I had bariatric surgery. Any advise what I can do and how to break the cheese and egg habit and keep things really flavorful. My biggest fear is bland food.
I love this video. It is changing my life... I never put the emphasis on greens that I should have.. I was eating way too many starches, and fruit.. no wonder my weight would not go anywhere.. now I'm desperate to change my diet, so I don't get type 2 diabetes.. and my blood pressure was out of control, too... I feel better than I have in ages.. all from adding greens in my diet.. what a difference!!! Thank you, Chef AJ, from the bottom of my
This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos and I’m hooked. You make eating vegan look so doable, easy, and tasty. I love your energy and your presentation. Thank you so much!
Chef AJ, I like what you do. If more people made better friends with vegetables, they would be better off. What doesn’t make sense is a lack of salt. Refined salt is garbage- 60 percent chemical fillers. Whole salt retains its trace minerals that are essential to balancing our metabolism. More importantly, whole salt is the electrolyte that regulates your heart beat. I lowered my blood pressure by using whole salt. Up to a tablespoon or two a day. The thyroid thrives with whole salt.
I've read all the books, and I've attended a great deal of programs (even True North) and all I have to say is that you've made the biggest impact on my life. You have a way of pulling all the pieces and parts together to make this all make sense and most importantly, "user friendly". THANK YOU Chef AJ!
you are so welcome!!!
Your recipes are making my mouth water and I just finished dinner lol.
Thank you
Calorie density is key! Great video!
Thank you and true dat!
Thanks Chef AJ I'm one of your fans..
Happy Belated Chef AJ!! You ROCK :)

Thanks for the video! I have one question: You say that you didn´t consume sugar to lose weight, it includes panela (raw sugar)?

Which book of yours is the recipe for your yummy sauce in?

It stimulates the appetite so you eat more making it difficult for some to lose weight. For some it is a trigger food that caused overeating. It also raises blood pressure. You can learn to enjoy the taste of whole natural food without it but it takes about 30 days of going without.
Can you do what I eat and how much in a day video please.

Much love to you. Legumes cause allergies with a lot of people. Grains are GM foods and have been modified so much now they are carcinogenic. While foods good yes but not whole grains. Plant based raw is best for optimum health not just weight loss.

Juice and zest of one organic lemon (if the lemon does not yield 1/4 of a cup of juice, then add more lemon juice)

3/4 ounce pitted dates (approximately 3 deglet noor dates)

Yeah but if you're losing weight rapidly you're either diabetic or hyper thyroid generally if not both
Good job! 👏👏👏
Hopeful you are staying focused & with it! Keep going forward! You can get there!!
After watching this video, I am no longer going to buy oils or nuts.
Thanks for the great advice. I enjoyed watching you on Jon McMahon's documentary, too.

Is there something I could substitute for beans? Beans hurt my stomach
Any starch you love
1 minute in and I'm hooked. Why no flabby arms. Omg 😍
Just luckyl Legs, belly and but are very flabby

Umm...I need to find my parents tortilla press! Out here in the midwest we do not have all the salt free oil free options. "Nachos" are my family's downfall!
you can make chips from tortillas too.
u look amazing!

Thanks! And belated happy birthday to her
2lbs of greens a day . You Start your first meal being 1lb of greens?
That is correct
I just found out about Chef AJ through the Rich Roll podcast! 💖 I love her!
2 pounds of green vegetables a day, seemed tough but maybe do-able, but wait without salt oil or sugar how can you choke them down??
I have 3 cookbooks with lots of yummy recipes plus several hundred TH-cam videos demonstrating veggie recipes.
I have seen Chef AJ on an off at Summerfest for years. She looks more beautiful now as she gets older! Thanks for sharing your example. Love your book!
John Mooter Summerfest in Milwaukee Wisconsin?
..."as soon as I get my pants off"...lol!!!
Scooby Doo soap dispenser FTW.

Boom tendo "ditto." 😂
@CHEF AJ Too cute 'n fun!
Wish I could go back to 2014
I like to eat too. Your food looks delicious! I’m going to try it. Thanks for posting and educating us!
Umm why add the "skinny bitch" in the describtion?!?!?
Ohhh ok
no oil and no salt, that's the trick, processed foods contain always oil and salt.
You don't even use Coconur Oil? How do you saute your veggies??
That's even worse than olive oil! Higher in saturated fat than lard!!! th-cam.com/video/ygQ_hc0QLp8/w-d-xo.html
So proud of you, AJ! Would love to see more meals/quick recipes.
working on it now.
I am doing your 21 Day Challenge and this video really helped to me finally strategize what I will eat each day and ensure I get in my 2lbs of non-starchy vegetables. So for breakfast/brunch I can have 1lb steamed cruciferous veggies and lunch 1lb Big Beautiful Chopped Salad (Nutmeg Notebook) and dinner cooked starches. I definitely like the loaded potatoes idea of just combining items like Chipotle. Thanks again for this video & caring enough to share this life saving information 👏🏿👍🏾😉🤗

I think im going to need a tablespoon of olive oil on my veggies with herbs/ spices. Food must taste good.
Olive oil is extremely healthy though. Italy, in particular Sardinia, is one of the blue zones and olive oil is an important part of their diet.
Hi Chef AJ - do you have a more indepth video about starting your meals with greens and how do you flavour them?
she is certainly interesting -- but olive oil has ZERO carbs, so how can also have so many calories ?
David Azinger please read Reversing Diabets by Dr.Nesl Barnard to understand why diabetes is caused by fat
Because...1 gram of carbohydrates has 4 calories and 1 gram of fat has 9 calories 😵😵😵😵😵 (more than double that of carbs).
I recently had a health scare which has made me give up sugar completely (not an easy task as I have a massive sweet tooth!), I now eat fresh vegetables almost everyday and sometimes replace them with legumes. Now to switch to brown rice.

Thanks Chef AJ for sharing your wonderful recipes. One of my favorite foods is chicken noodle soup made with bouillon cubes (no chicken) just spinach or kale and pasta. I enjoyed your interview routine with the True North Doctors Goldhammer and Lisle.
Can I replace the russet potato for a sweet potato?
Yup
We Californians, always have veggies and fruit. I love L.A................O'le. Love what you said..."a Fiesta in my mouth". :)
nuts and seeds are not happy
I AM SOOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU .YOU ARE JUST BEAUTIFUL! GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY.
Is it always brown rice and veg?
No
Inspiring video!!! Thank-you for sharing! Looking good, too! 😋
Shared with my neighbor asking for help. Thank you CHEF AJ! 🏆❤️
You seem to be full of energy.
What about flavoring for the steamed vegetables and rice? Do you just get used to the flavor of the vegetable?

I wish I had known about this when I lived near a whole foods
My husband and I have been vegetarian almost a year. please help me cross over into vegan. For the LIFE of me I can't get off the cheese I am so addicted. Also I can't eat these volumes because before I had all this information I had bariatric surgery. Any advise what I can do and how to break the cheese and egg habit and keep things really flavorful. My biggest fear is bland food.
Consider going to TrueNorth Health Center in Santa Rosa
I know eliminating oils sugar and salt has opened up a world of love ease and flow
I ll keep a bit of oil. Just a tablespoon per recipe. 5 oz of lean meats too .
IVE subbed ya cuz i do like ur energy and ideas and enthusiasm!! :)
I love this video. It is changing my life... I never put the emphasis on greens that I should have.. I was eating way too many starches, and fruit.. no wonder my weight would not go anywhere.. now I'm desperate to change my diet, so I don't get type 2 diabetes.. and my blood pressure was out of control, too... I feel better than I have in ages.. all from adding greens in my diet.. what a difference!!! Thank you, Chef AJ, from the bottom of my
The Pleasure Trap.
This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos and I’m hooked. You make eating vegan look so doable, easy, and tasty. I love your energy and your presentation. Thank you so much!
Me too. I'm gonna be watching a lot more. So inspiring. :)
Chef AJ, I like what you do. If more people made better friends with vegetables, they would be better off. What doesn’t make sense is a lack of salt. Refined salt is garbage- 60 percent chemical fillers. Whole salt retains its trace minerals that are essential to balancing our metabolism. More importantly, whole salt is the electrolyte that regulates your heart beat. I lowered my blood pressure by using whole salt. Up to a tablespoon or two a day. The thyroid thrives with whole salt.
