Eat Up Slim Down and Get Healthy - Chef AJ

[@viv8117]

I just watched a cure all carnivore diet presentation advocating eating nothing but meat and I found it alarming, people quite aggressive and denigrating non meat eaters! I’m a long time veggie, fit, 80 years, full time job, not overweight and keen to stay healthy. Your presentation is so lovely, a relief! Thank you for making it.

[@andreas4268]

Chef AJ I almost passed out when you said you are 63 years old! I would have neeevvvvvver guessed this at all! I thought you were in your early 40’s. Wow! Thank you for this information! ❤

[@focuswithraja2856]

Who else can listen to Chef AJ all day? I love her energy! ❤

[@shondaet]

Great presentation! I can never hear enough about calorie density. I am surrounded by people who are either non-vegan or who are obsessed with counting calories. No thank you!

[@moniqueprouten9109]

Fantastic presentation!!! I have the new book Unprocessed and just got Own your health. Can't wait to dive into it. I'm so excited because I am down 80 lbs. ( 34 lbs off with WFPB since last Oct.) The most spectacular is that my diabetes is reversing. Thanks Chef AJ for all you do! Your an angel in disguise! 👼❤

[@christinatroyer7946]

Let me know what you think of the book? I'm thinking of purchasing it as well

[@mamtajaya6457]

Amen chef AJ. I love this presentation. Very clearly explained ❤

[@wolfiefox4370]

Excellent presentation and have your first cookbook thanks for all you do!

[@Lightkcc]

Great information. i started juicing and smoothies and added weight , now it makes sence the only positive thing is i don’t like or miss meat any more.Thank you for this information.

“You can’t really overeat on fruits and vegetables…” Challenge accepted 😂😂😂

[@happycook6737]

If I have access to unlimited fruit I gain weight. I agree about nonstarchy veggies.

[@JustJulia-qt9nh]

@@happycook6737 I’ve been eating a mix of starches, fruit and lesser amounts of vegetables (mostly because eating salad greens make me feel bad and I like fruit more) and so far (knock in wood) I’ve been losing about .2 lbs per day which I’m really happy with.

47:40 - I've just got to say that this is a bit deceptive, as I have 2 tbs of cream in my coffee every morning as breakfast, and I'm not hungry till midday. I do it to keep my insulin low. If I'm super hungry and don't have time to eat, I'll have a tbs of cream, and I'm fine for hours. You don't need to be FULL to be satiated. :-)

[@LilacDaisy2]

40:00 - I've been listening. I wonder if I did a water fast for a few days and THEN tried the vegetable, no fat foods, they wouldn't be tasteless and lacking butter. They'd be delicious, because they're eatable.

[@brendafarris7350]

Super presentation! TY for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@childofdestiny2811]

I love you so much! You are one of the people who’s really changed my life! And I agree with you about the fruit. Sometimes I eat it and it’s so sweet I feel like the top of my head is going to blow off! Keep doing what you’re doing. You are having a profound and powerful impact on the health and happiness of the world!

[@karenstanton5405]

Thanks for a great presentation good to hear it again to reinforce what lknow thank you

[@dianatrans1804]

Makes sense! Thanks!

[@karenbuckner1959]

Chef AJ, the 1st time I heard "calorie density" was when you and Rip had a chat, but I get it now with your visuals and detail. Thanks!!!

[@LizAnne1980]

If all vegan guys look like Rip this will be fun 😊

[@colonyofcellsiamamachine6175]

Earlier pioneer on caloric density was nathan pritikin who was a strong influence on dr john mcdougall. Some high calorie fruits have been used as staple foods like coconuts, plantains, breadfruit, pandanus, etc. I pretty much boil all my food in order to make sure the fiber of unrefined plant foods will work better. If I boil potato or sweet potato, I never throw away the water used for boiling and will drink all of the water used for boiling. For high calorie traditional foods like corn tortillas and whole grain breads, maybe throw them into soups. I have tried cacao beans and they are quite bitter.

I appreciate this. I’ve been 80 compliant 20 keeping favorite sos foods in…….. then I binge only to start the process over and over and over again. Tomorrow is detox day 100%. Hoping by the end of the month that my crazy addictive voice in my head has looked elsewhere for someone else to devour.

[@irene8175]

Fantastic teaching, thank you Chef AJ

[@lizard1971]

Awesome talk. Dr. Robert Lustig talks about the same thing and it totally makes sense. Thank you Chef AJ! ❤️

[@LilacDaisy2]

Except ... Dr Lustig is "a real food guy." His experiment with the children with fatty liver was to prove sugar did it, so their diet was junk food (like hot dogs) with no sugar. He doesn't seem vegan at all and spoke at a low carb event.

[@KathyStubbert]

This was great Chef AJ!!! Very informative!!!

I’m 5’5” as well, male, and 165 would be a lot of weight for me. The heaviest I ever got was 145, and now I’m at around 120. This is the weight I’m supposed to be, I don’t overeat, I’m satisfied with what I eat, I have a flat stomach. I’ve been every weight from 120 to 145 and this is how I feel the best. I do eat a vegan diet, but I have some processed foods, olive oil, avocado, chocolate and nuts and seeds. I have noticed that when I cut out chocolate and nuts, due to a dental procedure, I lost like 5 pounds.

[@katymeigs5290]

Excellent discussion! Thank you!

[@skippy6462]

Slimming clubs are never going to explain this because it works too good. They need their customers (€£$) coming back. Sadly people don't realise. Need Chef AJ clubs.

[@nikigordon8106]

I'm 49 and menopausal. Every time I eat a lot of veggies in a day, the number on the scale goes up. Is that due to the water and bulk of the veggies?

[@dianatrans1804]

You’re cracking me up about the nuts this is fun to listen to. Thank you

[@rickmanning8722]

Eat the way you are describing, and life will seem longer. Because you will be able to participate in it much more easily.

[@LilacDaisy2]

Ha, I thought you were going to say, "...life will seem longer. Because time flies when your eating fun foods."

[@happycook6737]

Most American veggies don't taste good unless you are in California or near a farm. Asia, Middle East, South America, etc have sweet, fresh veggies and fruit. But they do taste better when you ditch sugars and sweetners.

Hi, where do I get the protein from?

[@texaspatty4697]

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, rice, all have protein.

[@murraybrockway6540]

Potatoes are too high glycemic for many of us. I eat sweet potatoes (microwaved) or squash instead.

[@been7082]

Chef AJ u are really making sense and your principles are simple n concise ...however l wanted to ask oils and fat may hv high calorie per pound as u explained but are we sure when it gets in the body it will cause weight gain ...I know some people making use of the ketogenic diet, Banting the Atkins have managed to lose weight how do u explain that .. someone eating high fat n low carbs can lose weight though your diets really sounds better ...maybe the mechanism of action for oils and fat does not work as the perceived calorie output ...am thinking the issue of weight gain is more influenced by the issue of insulin thus carbs make a greater secretion of insulin...maybe people are not supposed to avoid oils but rather use the healthy oils maybe that's y Doctor Benards (PC) program also causes weight loss despite the fact that he allows healthy oils ...me kinda want to understand plz help

Can we have whole wheat pasta for our starch?

[@LilacDaisy2]

I'm watching, because I struggle, I admit it. Seems we can lose weight if we cut out one of two things: either fat or carbs. I've done both (both for years), and keto indeed was the easier of the two. I'm still really interested in a short term super low fat diet, for the fruit. But ... keto I can have butter or cheese on my non-starch veg. Okay, I think I just talked myself into going keto.

I'd like to copy Chef AJ's daily lunch of a sweet potato. But can potatos be batch cooked and then eaten later? I wont be able to bake a potato on weekdays at the office.

I eat purple sweet potatoes and they stuff me !

[@polibm6510]

I think that food addiction is just hunger for nutrients and vitamins. In junk food aren't any. In vegetables and fruit are, but non-bioavailable for humans (so feel free to eat them until you are tired, you will still suffer). Therefore will be better for me to stick to keto/carnivore diet. Good luck with your diet.

[@each1teach141]

So, where are you getting your information from about non-bioavailability?

[@weevil8025]

Well this was certainly the case for me. I used to snack all throughout the day but since going wholefood plant based I sometimes don't even feel hungry enough to eat dinner, let alone snacks.
