Eat Your Carbs But Lose Weight | Chef AJ is a McDougall Success Story | Dr. John & Mary McDougall

[@starchild5009]

I am a 244 pound African American from St. Louis. I'm tried of everyone's advice. UNTIL NOW. I stumbled upon Chef AJ last week and I have been Binge watching. I lost 5 pounds in one week watching her and taking notes. I just came back from Aldi's... all non-starchy veggies in my cart. For once, I wasn't embarrassed for people to peep into my cart:) I LOVE YOU! Weired I know....Lol Lol....lol....Lol

[@CHEFAJ]

OMG--that's fantastic! Keep up the good work :)

[@momentswithmicca6592]

Hello, wondering how you are doing almost a year after you posted about the star to your journey. I'm looking into getting started so any info is helpful. TIA

[@yentavegan8823]

the joy of having a belly comfortably full of nourishing food, rather than going faint with hunger..just to lose weight. This is a lifestyle. A gift.

[@CHEFAJ]

I could't agree more

[@jgrysiak6566]

So why fast & be miserable, I eat healthy food 3 times a day & I'm slim & trim!

So refreshing to see these two rocking in their 70’s!

[@jgrysiak6566]

Maybe rocking to 70's music but definitely they don't look like they're in typical fat & sick 70's!

[@eulalia3446]

Rocking? They look at least 150 years old. Sarcopenia is the name of the game.

"You could write my name on a bathroom wall and I won't care as long as you spell my name right and get my phone number correct!" LMAO!! This is why McDougall is so awesome!

[@LynaGalliara]

I watch John and Mary half for the reinforcement of their health message and half for the encouraging reminder that some people do find their soulmate.

When Chef AJ states her age, my mind kinda goes blank. I’ve heard her state her age before. She’s no liar ... but ... so wild. KILLING IT 👊🏼

could you please ask mary if she would do a home tour and pantry tour ...to show us what the mcdougall's buy and eat and how they make food with these items ..thank you...i am so thankful for you and the mcdougall family...thanks again.

@41:00 the statement Dr M makes about a former patient should make everyone realize this way of eating is the way to good health and longevity! Who wouldn't want to eat this way? Thanks AJ and Dr M and Mary!

[@mollymoerdyk1682]

I am with the good doctor- vote, environment and health. I appreciate the care and enthusiasm I saw here today. I have been plant based for nearly two years and it has changed my life. I don't ever see a future where I am not living this lifestyle while doing my part to help create a healthy earth for future inhabitants.

[@Mrm1985100]

Starch based diet with fruits and vegetables is the way to go.

Perhaps Joel Fuhrman has changed his stance on beans, but he does NOT limit them to one cup a day. If fact, they are a one cup minimum and a part of his GBOMBS (greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries).

[@Sara-lf4fb]

I listen to everything I can on WFPB eating and I always get something from every WFPB doctor and I love them all; however, if it wasn't for Dr. McDougall I don't know if I would have even attempted to eat WFPB as it was so overwhelming at the time. He makes it so very simple, and it has changed my life physically and mentally so profoundly it is difficult to put into words!

[@miattaking385]

We love the Mcdougall. Chef AJ you are the best. Thanks for keeping us on track. 🙏❤️

[@xxdrleek10]

I was Dr. McDougal's patient briefly in Kailua, HI. He left Hawaii suddenly and Dr. David Nelsen then became my doctor. I believe they were in residency together and were friends. Dr. Nelsen was a proponent of the 80-10-10 plan suggesting a lot of vegetables, but I never heard of veganism. I was a lacto vegetarian at the time and remained so until about 9 years ago. Cheese almost killed me.

[@SenorJuan2023]

How did cheese almost kill you?

[@CHEFAJ]

How cool that he was your doctor even if briefly. I trust you are doing well now!😊

[@sarahyoung8123]

I've been researching the WFPB way of living and have been watching Dr McDougall. I had no idea they live in Portland..I'm literally 30 mins from them!!

Lucky you!

Such a great video. I’m 18 years old and have been vegan for 3 to 4 years. Only recently have a cut out oils, processed foods and focusing more on carbs/starches. Within a week my acne was completely gone. Can’t wait to live a long healthy life!

The Secrets to Ultimate Weight Loss or Own Your Health😊

[@paradiselounge6788]

I am obsessed with corn. I like it more than any other starch other than maybe kabocha.

[@DelgadoProtocol]

john is right because the higher the grams of complex carbohydrates of 70 or 80% of calories while fat can drop as low as 3% fat and 6 % protein (like human breast milk) to be in positive nitrogen balance. This is best accomplished provided one takes into the account the sequeincing (start each meal with green and yellow veggies, veggies soups, veggie salads (oil free sugar free) then fruit, then starch veggies potatoes, to beans, nuts, seeds, ancient grains when you want to get shredded to reduce body fat while sustaining muscle or to gain weight while building muscle, go in reverse sequence of food categories beginning with yams, nuts, seeds, coconut, avocado, black rice, beans, potatoes, fruit and last salads of greens, yellow veggies (squash) caseroles, or soups. The easiest thing is to get enough protein because plant carbs spare the body protein since always the body must meet energy needs which are derived from the plant foods, with protein being used for building and repair. Mike Mentzer Mr Universe was right, enzymes recycle that gives 150 grams of protein and 30 grams come from the intestines recycling, that gives every human over 180 grams of protein with the entire amino acid pool before one even takes a bite of food! That is why as little as 20 grams of protein taken in from the diet 3% of calories of a 3,000 calorie diet is 9 grams of protein actually helps New Gunea Natives, incredibly muscular strong people ripped, muscular all from consuming mostly sweet potatoes and their leaves, making them the lowest protein lowest fat intake and the highest complex carbohydrate diet in the world. PS free of diabetes, no cancer no heart disease. They do die if a famine lack of food, yet protein intake leaves over 30% waste by product, fat leaves 7% waste while complex carbs burn as pure fuel with 0 Waste, carbon dioxide we exhale, and oxygen, and water we excrete via urine or perspiration. See Nickdelgado.com/coaching for the 7 pillars of health.

AWESOME INPUT! Thanks!!

I appreciate you making this available. We are to live responsible lives and take care of the earth that God created. However, I do believe there is a greater hope and the earth won't be destroyed because God will reconcile those who accept His word and in the end there will be a new heaven and new earth. It takes more faith to believe this all just happened by happenstance .

If your numbers are good on the program AND taking medication, how do you know if it’s the medicine or your diet? My cardiologist says it’s working, so why change?

That's a good question you probably wouldn't know the answer to unless you were no longer taking the medication. Perhaps consult with a plant based cardiologist?

I haven’t watched for this channel for a while. AJ and Mary look cachexic. WTH? Is that health? As an RN, I have found that bodies are healthier when you have some leeway to lose in times of ill health. WFPB all the way. But add some nuts or something. Wow!

[@Xassefras]

So rude. And not even true.

[@Kerrin77JIH]

@@Xassefras as an RN, I’ve seen the devastation of cachexia. The nutrition of WFPB is phenomenal, but it won’t save you when the chips are down. Caring for the ultimate health of someone is not rude, and it’s very sad and simple minded to think so. Nutritionally they are undoubtedly healthy, but in illness, they have nothing extra with which their bodies can work, and fuel the healing, without eating into actual muscle. Your heart is a muscle. The body needs at least 10% burnable storage with which to work during illness. Believe as you wish. My 25 years in health care has taught me many things. One of which is that cachexia and obesity are both forms of dangerous malnourishment.
