Thank you!

[@darlenedrivera165]

Wonderful interview...this man is doing what he was born to do. Thank you so much Chef AJ for everything. I am so blessed to have found you . You are so selfless🌞🌞🌞

[@tracycurrent6078]

Wow I never get tired of Dr Lisle. Thanks for this video AJ.

[@2winlock]

' this behavior is not related to our childhood issues... this is an independent, automated, gene driven decision making system just like breathing .....because of the artificial foods in our environment. That is what it is~...You are looking in the wrong place' Honestly I don't EVER think about my past when I am over indulging. I am just simply caught in the 'Pleasure Trap'. Thank you Dr. Lisle for removing the mystic and the excuse

[@Yachtblackgold]

HOLY MOLY! I cannot believe there are only 663 likes and 22,000 views. This is life changing info. It changed mine and I am SO GRATEFUL! LOVE YOU BOTH SOOOO MUCH! ❤

[@theartificialsociety3373]

Do other psychologists understand Dr. Lisle' concepts? Just like general doctors are so clueless about diet and nutrition, my bet is they do not. Listen to Chef AJ, Dr. Lisle, Dr. McDougall, save your life and your mind.

[@CHEFAJ]

I doubt it!

[@eringigi7096]

The Artificial Society no that is why he left academia

[@AlexiHolford]

@@smilebehappy6102 - and you’re point is what? And why the dig against those particular people? (Yes, I know the dig was intended to be against Dr. Lisle.)

[@lilianagriseldaszachury1843]

[@2winlock]

[@QuantumKristi]

I love you both, you are so sweet, smart, loving and authentic ❤️❤️❤️

[@annieishappynow]

Awesome! Chef AJ and Dr Lisle doing a video together. Doesn't get any better than that 😍

[@Babesinthewood97]

The past 2 years I've managed to live in vegan house shares. Especially now, since 2 weeks back I'm in a vegan household with health conscious people. Maybe some progress is made in our culture, reg food and health.

[@twhyt]

First time hearing Dr Lisle & loved this webinar, thank you. Picked up his book as a result.

[@catherinebell122]

Always a learning session that stays in long term memory with Dr. Doug Lisle. Thank you AJ for the interview!

[@jamesgranger9842]

love your podcasts! Thanks so much for making them. I enjoy listening to Dr Lisle and reading his book The Pleasure Trap.

[@CHEFAJ]

You are so welcome!

[@SSSyndrome214]

These are just so great and I get so much out of every one of them. Thank you both, immensely!

[@adriennneverma7340]

AJ I could listen to your videos all day!! You encouraged me to listen to his podcast!!

[@craigweir8875]

Thank you AJ, excellent discussion! Looking forward to finding out what Dr Lisle shares with you in Vegas.

[@Letha222]

Great video. I loved it when Dr. Lisle talked about the rats putting up their middle finger to the researchers. One of my favorite parts of the "Pleasure Trap" is a reference to rats. From page 81 of the paperback: "Many authorities assume that weight management is 'psychological.' It is often stated that one must learn to set the fork down between each bite of food or remain calm so as not to eat for 'emotional' reasons. However, the evidence strongly suggests that subtle psychological mechanisms are not the key to weight management. Rats will maintain ideal weight under all sorts of stressful conditions, if eating a healthy rat chow. However, if bread and chocolate are available as desired, the average rat will increase its body weight in fat by 49 percent within just sixty days."

[@CHEFAJ]

I feel like dong that sometimes! :)

[@NLR759]

Yes, and skinny people have stress and emotional problems too, not just over-weight people!

[@noitalfed]

Check out Beat Your Genes podcast. It's terrific.

[@annieishappynow]

noitalfed I LOVE this podcast. Dr Lisle is brilliant.

[@yentavegan8823]

I used a barbeque mat and bbq'd sliced eggplant and brussel sprouts with out oil or salt, then I tossed them in a bowl of 1/2 avocado with a squeeze of lemon. YUMMMMMM

[@aryamaomowale4977]

Amazing! I love Dr. Lisle and how his concepts are so easy to understand and make perfect sense. The audience in your head as opposed to the critic is my favorite part but the entire talk was phenomenal.

[@CHEFAJ]

Did you know that Dr. Lisle is teaching a 6 week course on The Pleasure Trap? He will be doing LIVE video lectures and Q & A every week starting on Monday, April 22. You can find out more here: click.thrivecart.com/escape-the-pleasure-trap/?fbclid=IwAR3UcPUgPg0tW69yMnXduN4QpqI-EUcJx9kbSYcgeNHJz9n6b5RaY1Wew9o

[@georgannecollett8047]

This is going to sound dreadful...but i dont mean it to be 😐....With regard to physical ugliness...i really believe the older one gets the more attractive the ugly get....and the plainer the young beautiful ones Its like everyone looks pretty good to me the older they are.. And i have found others believe this too Its like age is the great equalizer Plus of course ...when someone loves you...falls in love with you....your worst physical features seem to be overlooked or endearing....you love them no matter what....people may be attracted at first bc of physical appearance but not always...many meet over a phone line...or online...get to love the person BEFORE you meet Anyway i hope that helps someone..somewhere

[@JCKay]

I'm a fat girl, have been my whole life, but I have never in my experience, had a problem in getting dates, or having boyfriends. In fact, I've had to beat them off with a stick at times! LOL. My husband is gorgeous, and a wonderful man (very thin - I never seem to have ever been with men who had weight problems). BUT, I have to say that my self esteem in the workforce, has always taken a hit, and I hold myself back from achieving all that I want to achieve. I truly believe that all stems from my body image, and feeling "not good enough or deserving enough". Being overweight/obese, truly does impact on our achievements and our driving force. In general, if you are feeling exhausted or deflated all the time, how on earth would you feel motivated to accomplish all of your dreams, project ideas, or go on adventures that you envision for yourself?

[@JCKay]

This video has really hit home. Thank you, Chef AJ, and Dr. Doug Lisle. Your program and advice, Chef AJ, is always spot on! Going to take it one meal at a time, eating a lot of veggies to start the meal, and I know my Internal Audience is watching!

[@JCKay]

PS: Chef AJ, you are looking beautiful and absolutely glowing!

[@mikefixac]

Hey JK. Thanks for your honesty. I'm one of those guys that dig big women. In fact, big women for some reason drive me crazy. BTAIM, I understand the other issues you're talking about. My wife is a big woman, but like Dr Lisle says, you can be obese and still have a healthy self image. She does have the healthy self image, but I just think how extremely happy she'd be living in the body nature intended. Good luck on this way of life, Chef AJ and Dr Lisle are the real deal.

[@JCKay]

Michael Crosby I think the drop in self esteem for me, is because of my many failed attempts at applying all the healthy things I know consistently. Now I have learned that this has absolutely everything to do with my environment, (not my conscientiousness, intelligence, information, or intentions) and I'm working on that.

[@nicoleantaya-fraser9861]

Just Brilliant!! I'll be watching this a few more times...I am so grateful and appreciate you both so much:)!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you:)!!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you! I am on my 4th listen!

[@mikefixac]

I wish those who downvoted had to make a comment and I could go to that section and read them. I'd find that very interesting. AJ, thanks again for this. Very appreciative. This video is very deep. The internal self, the internal audience and the ego trap, having to deal with the pleasure trap around us. That Freudian excuses are BS. Also loved that the pleasure trap foods are addictive, but nothing like alcohol, cigarettes or heroin. One thing I don't understand with AJ. She seems to intimate that if one fails and succumbs to the pleasure trap, it'll take 3 days to get back on track. Dr Lisle says one can get back on track within an hour. My experience is along Dr Lisle's thinking. I do succumb to the Pleasure Trap, and honestly, it doesn't bother me. I admire AJ for having an A+ WOE, but I do have friends totally living in the Pleasure Trap and I go to dinner with them and if I have a couple of french fries, I'm just not that bothered by it. I easily transition back to eating WFPB. It's eating with friends out, that is my small downfall, but for me, it's small and I can deal with it. I agree, Doug Lisle is our Dr Semmelweis.

[@fruitascension5089]

I'm trying to find the part where he uses the 'report card' to score our food choices. Like, A+ foods look like they were picked from the garden. I can't find it. Is it this video? What minutes is it at, if so, please, and thanks!

[@jennifergilchrist5597]

Chef AJ, I know that real, whole plant based food is best. However I have a finicky stomach at times and though hungry, don't have the energy to digest lots of fiber rich veggies. What is your take and/or recommendation for a plant based, sugar free protein powder as a meal replacement? Thank you!

[@NLR759]

You have to give your gut microbiome time to adapt to a WFPB diet. Start with steamed vegetables, rather than raw, and gradually increase the quantity over 2-3 weeks. There is no such thing as WFPB protein powder. Whole Food means that the fibre and water are intact, that’s what makes the diet work in the first place.

[@mayfranz700]

Great video! Chef AJ ❤️, Dr. Lisle❤️!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks!

[@mayfranz700]

CHEF AJ !!!!!!! You replied! I love u. Thank u so much for tips and inspirations. I've been battling my food addiction like forever. I'm eating lots and lots of vegetables now especially for breakfast. I bought your unprocessed book and it's coming in the mail soon. Waiting for your next book. ❤️

[@CHEFAJ]

THANK YOU

[@PetBunnyDebbie]

This was exceptional!!! Going to post this on Facebook.

[@sonja4164]

I completely agree with his take on Freud & psycho-sexual theory. However, I do think that there were other psychologists that followed who had some thought provoking theories.

[@seamuswarren]

Why is there an echo in the audio? Edit: Chef AJ must get a fair bit of positive feedback these days. 🙂

[@dr0714a]

Great art work from Dr Lisle. My bid is $10 on the cross between Stary Nights and Sun Flowers.

[@mikefixac]

He's definitely improving.

[@sycamoreknox9419]

Thanks for posting this wonderful Doctor.

[@ehswissie]

Great information, great interview 👍

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!

[@TheSpiffybarbarella]

Very insightful and thought-provoking.

[@CHEFAJ]

Indeed!

[@sonja4164]

I'll assume what here's saying is that the generically "preferred ideal" of beauty & body type is related to the European, for Europeans. That this *does not* apply to other groups.

[@CHEFAJ]

He said on his podcasts that all cultures agree on what is more attractive when they have done studies. I wish I could remember which number it was.

[@sonja4164]

CHEF AJ that's interesting and unfortunate. There's so much behind what some cultures find attractive today, particularly those that have been historically dominated by European cultures. It's not to be taken at face value.

[@sonja4164]

WEIGHT LOSS WEDNESDAY I'm not taking it personally at all, but thank you AJ. I think Dr Lisle is a brilliant man, but what he's saying is short sighted. I've seen some of this research, and it's quite biased.

[@sonja4164]

WEIGHT LOSS WEDNESDAY sad but true. :( indeed AJ

[@kapushthethird]

Thanks, glad I found it.

[@sycamoreknox9419]

I am one of those that quit smoking by limiting to a pack a day then 19 a day then 18 etc. til I got to one cigarette and it was the worst one of all. I'm just saying is all.

[@lidiaolcer6248]

great ! Thank you.

[@juliejoseph2201]

I failed today with plain potato chips. It’s ok. I still have my last 15 pounds to lose. Plain boring potato chips are my downfall.

[@CHEFAJ]

Get them out of your house and you'll be less likely to fail!😊

[@fruitascension5089]

Most excellent!

[@patsy3809]

I'm not sure I agree that our perception of weight is genetically hard wired. The ideal weight, size and shape is purely a social construct, many African and Polynesian cultures value what we would call fat bodies. Many paintings in Western culture depict a historical view of women who are large, voluptuous and considered the ideal. Even models during the 1950's were a lot heavier than the standard catwalk ideal of today. The BMI is vastly incorrect in establishing a normal ideal across a vast differing population and many people considered overweight on the BMI scale are extremely fit and healthy. This works at both ends of the scale, for example to be told that an ideal bmi of 18-25 is desirable could be dangerously thin for some. In fact 18 is bordering on Anorexia, even treatment centres consider a bmi of at least 19 as safer in terms of cognitive function. Many people who are naturally large, not obese, not addicts are made to feel wrong and this is where the culture of thin has become extreme and as damaging as being obese. It's really time to challenge this construct and there has to be a better understanding of health at any size and as Dr Lisle termed to kick back and challenge the attitude of fattism.

[@powerofseven10]

pure gold

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks!

[@texaspatty4697]

Sorry about your dad, Dr Lisle.

[@ladymuck2]

Lol Chef AJ , I love you and your enthusiasm but had to chuckle because you talk non stop for 4 mins 51 seconds before the interviewee gets a word in. x

[@CHEFAJ]

Oh no!

[@doriansmom9856]

I find this podcast rather confusing, or else kind of offensive. There seems to be a pervasive belief that binge eating disorder, or food addictions, or whatever you want to call it, centers around junk. This is garbage. I don't get full. Ever. Even when I'm full, I'm not full. I can eat pounds and pounds of broccoli, or pounds and pounds of brussels sprouts, just like I can eat an entire loaf of bread or an entire package of pasta with marinara. It doesn't matter what the food is, I eat and eat because i simply don't feel full or full enough to stop. I follow Dr. McDougall so I eat the healthiest food on Earth. I wish, just once, people can look at binge eating as a mental illness, or a behavioral issue, and nothing to do with the food, and address the process of resolving it as mental health.

[@ladymuck2]

Dorians mom Surely everyone is different. I can have addictive behaviour with cheese, it has nothing to do with my mental health. If you never actually feel full physically it could be leptin resistance.

[@ritazocher756]

Just great! 🍓🍌🥔🍆🥒🥕

[@venuscruz6075]

Being a Christian, I don't agree with everything he teaches......Richard Dawkins is far from a Christian viewpoint.

[@livechilllife]

Venus Cruz this is science he speaks of not Christianity. Fact versus arguably fiction
