I just got to see Chef AJ at the LaVegFest. She's so energetic! I really can't believe she's in her 50's. She makes me realize life is long and 50 is young! She is my inspiration for when I am in my 50's. I love her:)

Thank you for this video. Within the last week I personally "discovered" Chef AJ - and I haven't been able to get enough of her!!! I'm trying to watch every video I can find, purchased and started reading Unprocessed, etc. This woman is an amazing power-house of a person! Every single things she does is packed full of great information / content and you always walk way learning something (while having a good time and getting your giggles in too). I've yet to regret time spent listening to her, it's that fulfilling for me. And for the first time in my life, someone is really making sense to me. I've struggled so much in my life with health / weight related issues and trying to do what I thought was the 'perfect diet' hasn't worked for me. I thought I was "doing right" by eating lean meats, low carbs (heck, I avoided all carbs!), and eating fats such as EVOO or Coconut Oil, nuts, etc. But I KNOW this isn't working for me - I'm getting heavier (now at 220 at 5' 6"!!!) and more sick (hypertension, GI illnesses, etc) with each passing year following other strategies to a T and doing what I thought was healthy. Everything Chef AJ says just jives with the poor results I've personally seen, and in the few days since I've first found her online, listened, and immediately modified my diet I've already seen a change in how I feel (haven't had to take a prescription GI pill in days now - and I've never gone a day or two without symptoms in 20+ years!) and already dropped a pound!!!! And she clearly comes across as someone who cares, has a mission / purpose, and empathizes. GO CHEF You are making a Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Frankly, I hate to see people comment negatively about limiting fruit. If we all ate an abundance of fresh whole fruit, we would thrive. The only upper limit is our appetite, and fresh is better than dried, but dried is fine. Live on fruit only for a week. Eat as much as you possibly can, and you will never gain weight. You'll also start to feel invigorated. You need more than fruit long term, naturally, but fruit is amazing. And I'd like to point out the research that found people eating a meat diet with the identical calories to others eating a whole food plant diet actually gained more weight. So talking about calories in fruit seems to me to be distracting from the over all result.

Enjoyed learning about her last year at the World Veg Fest in San Francisco and liked this update too. Always appreciate her pace!

Its so frustrating trying to answer questions from concerned family/friends/skeptics about the plant based vegan diet. I wish I could just direct them all to people like this!

[gkk]

I love this lady. So practical and knowledgeable...

Did you attend a traditional culinary school or a plant-based culinary school? With the skills you took from a traditional culinary school, did you experiment on your own how to make many of the same dishes plant-based? You are very inspirational, thank you for everything you do!
