They say that variety is the spice of life, but for those struggling with their weight, it's also the spice of obesity, and the kiss of death for the food addict.
Dr Barbara Rolls talks about this notion of sensory specific satiety and you can learn more about it in my book: www.amazon.com...
I simply steam my broccoli for 4 minutes in the microwave using this:
www.amazon.com...
And roast my sweet potatoes for 60-90 minutes (depending on size) at 400 degrees F.
I don't always eat my taters plain, often I drizzle them with Sweat Heat from www.CaliforniaBalsamic.com.

You inspired me to do a potato taste test of my own. I discovered how delicious okinawan purple sweet potatos are. I didn't know potatos could taste that good! It's just a reminder that there is a whole new world of plant food varieties to try. Thanks Chef AJ!

Very interesting. We are all different because I have to say that for me, variety is incredibly important in my food choices. I've been eating a WFPB diet for about 20 months and have lost about 65 pounds, stable for the past 6 months. I adore flavors and spices so exploring Asian/southeast Asian dishes has been really fun for me, particularly Japanese and south Indian foods. So many creative ways to cook vegetables with lots of flavor, no animal products, and delicious to boot! Today's lunch was a chilled japanese eggplant and myoga salad, steamed broccoli left over from last night's dinner, and 3 slices of grilled tempeh.

Thanks so much Chef AJ. I need to keep it simple... I appreciated this video so much. I have type 2 (well haven't been diagnosed by my fasting blood sugar is 130 and I occasionally get the tinny taste in my mouth. I don't have the unquenchable thirst and need to go to the loo as much, but the fasting blood sugar tells me enough. I am afraid of going to my Dr. bc I know she is going to want to put me on medication and I have seen what that has done to my wonderful father. I have been "consuming' as many of your videos as I can and I just discovered Adam Sud and the "Mastering Diabetes" course. I had been getting info from other sources (I don't like to mention names), but they say you have to stay away from carbs and all white products (potatoes, rice, bread, etc. )..... So I get the white rice, white bread etc, but was so confused over potatoes. I will jump all into this and give your advice my top priority, buy your book and shelve the ones from the "other" source. I also purchased last night after watching your video with the "Mastering Diabetes" couple. Great video btw. Cute couple too. :) Thanks for being so inspiring. Peace xo

Every time you tell us what you eat for lunch still blows my mind. 20 ounces of sweet potatoes I actually laid out 2 baked sweet potatoes for my lunch and the broccoli (which for me is no problem), and I have to say, I don't know how you get that much volume into your little tummy. I can't ever eat the whole plate. But you are right - that is such a delicious lunch or dinner.

Looks effective to lose weight. However, medical experts tell us that, starting in our 30s, we tend to start losing 0.5%+ of our muscle mass every year, and this reduces how much calories we burn and makes us more prone to bone loss and injuries as we age, and lack of muscle and bone mass correlate with earlier death. To address this, medical experts recommend we maintain muscle mass with regular muscle building exercise and protein in every meal. With this in mind, do these meals include enough protein to maintain muscle mass as we age? The salad might have enough protein if quinoa is included, perhaps? Why not include some legumes, even just a small serve?

Broccoli is actually quite high in protein. Given the amount she eats, she is getting plenty of protein. To maintain muscle mass, the problem for most people is not inadequate protein; it is that they don't use their muscles.

Simon I've been plant based over 20 years and even when I'm not eating optimally or any kind of protein on purpose, my protein still tests on the high side of normal. I recently had my protein tested and as well as 5 years ago. Always tests high. I'm not deficient in protein and I don't see how others can be on a plant based diet. All plant foods contain adequate protein.

Chef AJ PLS help me understand why my sugar level goes up in the morning but comes down after taking tea with sugar. I was prediabetic but looks like I am diabetic now. Eating fruit or rice is only increasing my sugar levels. I do have insulin resistance. I am very confused as what to eat. I am vegan.

Hi new sub here. I read Fit for Life by Harvey Diamond and he says that fruit should never be eaten with anything else as it doesn't combine with anything else. That stops me eating fruit for dessert. What do you think? He says the fruit spoils in your stomach if eaten with other foods.

Japanese sweet potatoes, Hannah sweet potatoes, etc. do not have the same caloric density as the orange sweet potatoes. The 20 ounces of Hannah sweet potatoes are over 700 calories. Important information for those with type 1 diabetes. ❤

I love broccoli but cannot find good organic fresh. Usually they are wilted. If I'm out I order only broccoli. Can you recommend a place where the broccoli is a good place to buy? I do buy the Trader Joes frozen organic but it really isn't the same as fresh.

I love your books and all your videos chef AJ and you have a wealth of knowledge I am constantly learning. I think ill try looking to measure more less of 3 pounds just to gage it then I'll ad lib. Although I adore brocolli i can't eat cruciferous veg due to instant gas but I think zucchini will suffice.Thank you for your gracious sharing of them of so much. I also love your Bailey furkid🐕😊

As for the gas issue, have you tried slowly introducing small amounts of various cruciferous veggies, in order to get your gut microbiome adapted? Also, does it depend on the veggie? Broccoli vs Cauliflower vs Brussel Sprouts vs Kale vs Cabbage, etc.
