    Dear AJ … I’ve watched this over and over and over again and I know that it’s an older video but I love your realness and I understand your seemingly lack of patience at times on this post It’s because you’re just trying to get the message out to the people who really sincerely want ( and need) to be healthy and don’t know how and people keep putting obstacles up. I just want you to know I appreciate you your example and all the help that you’ve done. One of the key phrases I really love on this post is if you’re not hungry enough to eat vegetables then you’re really not hungry. Keep up your humor, style, and good works. ❤

    Okay, this is the first time I have heard a full talk from Chef AJ and I love it. Very inspiring, and I love the no nonsense approach to questions. In work, in life, in health; the plan works when you work the plan. The message I got, don't screw with what works; and don't say it doesn't work when you haven't really done it. I'm new to this; but I am onboard. I have been on-again, off-again WFPB for 2 years with little weight loss. I now understand what Dr. Gregor said about food density. I am committing to start each day with vegetables; and eating all kinds of scrumptious veggies with each meal. I am dropping my beloved nuts, avocado, and glass of wine with dinner. Something new, I will only eat when I am hungry. Only a few days in; but happily in compliance; no cravings and no obsessing. I know I'm not a success story, but loving how I feel and loving the food. Thank you Chef AJ. Don't give up on us, we need you!

I love you & am so thankful for your encouragement all those years ago when I started the WFPB journey. I too went to True North back in 2012 and did a 14 day fast (so sick I wanted to die). Started WFPB and never looked back😊 I’m now thankful I had fibromyalgia so badly because it led me to good nutrition the way God made it!!!

    I’m 62 and vegan for 7 years. I just started my raw food high fruit journey 4 months ago. I used to eat a lot of beans, rice, pasta, potatoes, etc on a cooked vegan diet to feel full. But after age 60, I could not get away with all those starches without weight gain. Metabolism slows way down after age 60. In ir see to lose and maintain weight, I had to let go of starches. Ioccasionally have a slice of bread or some cooked garbanzo beans or sprouted lentils. I thought I would not feel full in a raw diet but that has not been the case for me. The raw food has so many nutrients that I am satisfied with much less food. I mainly have one or 2 banana-based smoothies during the weekdays, at least one of which will be a green smoothie. I intermittent fast. On the weekends I have my salad meals. I’m trying to get down to my college weight of 120 pounds. Got about 40 pounds to go.

    It's really great that she's been able to lose with hypothyroidism. I have not had that experience, even following her diet. Perhaps my meds are off. I will keep trying though. It's such a struggle. At least I can have a relatively full belly while dieting. And my blood glucose is so good with this way of eating. EDITED: Of course I watch this whole video and realize I don't eat exactly like her after all.

    I really appreciate Chef AJ. She has helped me lose weight by focusing on eating healthy meals consistently. I love baked sweet potatoes. I enjoy eating grilled peppers and grilled halved Roma tomatoes. I like eating 15 varieties of mixed beans. I like baked asparagus and Brussels sprouts (sprinkled with salt and pepper, and I use a little olive oil and dark brown sugar). I got a 1,000 watt Nutri-Ninja, which makes it easy to drink vegetables and I still get all the fiber. I eat them too, but drinking them encourages me to consume them more. I like what AJ says: "If it's in your house it's in your mouth!"

    I love all the doctors who are promoting this diet/lifestyle, but unlike A.J., most of them do not have the personal experience of food addiction and being overweight. I love that she talks about her own struggles with these so openly and explicitly because I can hear my own experience in her story. I’m just a few years older than she, menopausal and hypothyroid as well. Although I only have about ten pounds to lose, she gives me great hope. She is truly an inspiration!

    First, I love your top! Also, please don't stop doing weight loss Wednesday. I wait for it every week, and it's the reason that I stopped drinking! I heard you say it enough times and that was it. I'm finally losing weight again (I'm very close to a healthy weight but still have 10-20 pounds to go). I had lost 40 pounds as an hclf vegan still drinking and eating tortilla chips and some junk food, lucky for me I've been gluten free for 11 years which I think really helped me. Your principles and Dr. Grumpy (Golhamer who I love love love) are the reason that I suddenly lost 9 more pounds in May and another 3 in June by stopping ALL processed foods and alcohal for good; I'm a disagreeable bitch too and I decided I will not compromise anymore or relapse for anyone. I'm finally in control of my body and I feel great and never have to go hungry. I know you hate saying the same things over and over, but what happens is when I hear it enough, it becomes 2nd nature. So, please keep doing WLW if you have time! Thank you to you and Dr. Grumpy for cutting through the bullshit and setting the record straight. 😘 WLW has changed my life!!!

    what about fatty liver causes slow weight loss? I drank 2 green smoothies a day and only ate a small dinner, my weight remained the same for about 5 months, then suddenly in the 6 month I lost 10 lbs within 2 weeks. so dont get discouraged! (the green somotthies helped break my cravings for food ) I kept the weight off for a couple years, then my partner went on a crazy diet and influenced my eating plan with high fats and meats, and fear of brown rice, which totally threw off my weight, health and cravings plus it messed with my head.. I truly believe the good lord want us not to have to worry about food and I am glad to have found your videos as your concept of food is very freeing.

    Thank you Chef AJ! Love your videos and advice! I commented on a Yahoo article not long ago how the WFPB diet is what actually helped me lose weight and not hours and hours of hard core exercise. Because the article was saying that it doesn't matter how much you weigh as long as you exercise that's all that's important. I had stated that for years I exercised at least an hour a day, 5, sometimes 6 days a week, but still ate a S.A.D. diet and my weight never budged. I also have tried keto, Atkins, Slim Fast, weight watchers, Nutrisystem, and phentermine. So I went on WFPB and lost. Boy did I get some negative flack. It blows my my mind the arguments, misinformation, misconceptions, and negativity surrounding a plant based diet. I received comments from people stating their mother in law almost died from a VEGETARIAN ( I explained how WFPB is different from vegetarian) diet to just keep your calories under what you burn in a day to keto was the way for them. I stated I wasn't a doctor or nutritionist and I'm not saying what works for one will always work for everyone since everyone has different genetics, chemistry, lifestyle, circumstances, but I feel a WFPB would NEVER hurt anyone or make them gain. Still got nailed with negativity. It didn't bother me, but made me sad. People are still very much in the dark on nutrition and health.

    This video is the first time I’ve ever seen you and I’m in love.
    I’ve never before seen a
    “Weight Loss Wednesday” program, so even though, understandably, you’re sick of reiterating the same info, it’s brand new info for some people!
    As I watched you I realized that I had ordered your
    “Ultimate Weight Loss” book about a year ago !!!
    (thinking I was ready)
    I’ve never even cracked it open.
    I stopped the video and excavated your book, whooping with a cry of joy !!!
    I guess the universe knew that today would be the day that I am truly READY !!!
    You, Madam, are an absolute delight.
    I love your real life delivery!!!
    My daughter was murdered.
    I don’t know your whole story regarding the loss of your son but I certainly do know crushing loss and grief. I do know despair and what it is to not care about ANYTHING, least of all, what I look like or what I weigh. For some reason my heart has continued to beat and I am still standing. So, I’ve decided to not be beaten.
    I’ve come to the conclusion that my daughter would never want me to give up.
    So here I am, ready to begin living in a productive healthy manner.
    THANK YOU
    for making me think clearly about taking charge of my life rather than to simply exist and drift like a cork out in the open ocean.
    My deepest thanks to you. ❤️

    Thank you for sharing what you eat. I'm a visual learner, so this is soo helpful!
    I think the reason people are so interested in what you eat, is that they want ideas. I personally am a pretty good cook, but when it comes to preparing large volumes of greens without oil etc I get a bit clueless as to how to give them flavor & make them taste good. Same goes for the starch. I know your meals are simple, but I'd love you to share your "un-recipe" recipes :) Btw: Love your leggings!

    I've been doing this for about seven weeks now whole food plant-based I absolutely love it I didn't like vegetables at all before I actually started because of the movie fat sick and nearly dead I bought a juicer and I did it for about two weeks and I think the flavor of the vegetables was diluted so it was like a stepping stone for me to begin enjoying vegetables I only did just for two weeks I absolutely loved the way I felt because before I ate only garbage meat processed foods etc. Now I do eat all plant based whole foods. I e put the juicer away but I think if I didn't start that way I wouldn't have been able to do it. I guess it helped me reset my taste buds. I don't know but I'm losing weight just like you said slowly but I feel great now there's no looking back I love all the knowledge of sharing I've got to get that book thank you. You are a blessing!

    OH MY WORD! I just watched the nose flute performance. You are such a ham....vegan, of course. Such talent! I must say, though you weren't the "healthy" AJ then, you were beautiful even then. Thank you for all the hard work in trying to help us achieve a healthy lifestyle.

    OMG This is the BEST video I have seen. Thanks for being REAL and giving no none sense advice to truly be healthy and lose weight! I needed to hear some of these things myself. I have been procrastinating not eating a savory veggie breakfast for weeks since my weightless has stalled. I just purchased the Love Veggies course and I'm already inspired by the recipes. Also have goal of going no salt. Thanks!

    They give epidurals now instead of anesthesia for joint surgeries below the waste. Even if you're not allergic. It's becoming common practice. Just throwing this out there for people who aren't cured simply by losing weight.

    Thank you for your inspiration. As a T2 diabetic, I'm confused about frequency of eating. The trend seems to be fasting to improve your insulin sensitivity and to reduce the frequentt insulin peaks with all the negative outcomes associated with it. Here you are eating vast amounts of food and eating frequently. I understand the types of food you are eating help minimise peaks but they will occur along with the frequent production of insulin. Thank you.

Then, your interview with Cyrus Khambatta and Robby Barbaro (just recently) provided that “AHA” moment that will change my life forever.
    God Bless you.

I am used to being teased a bit because I am already a vegan, so I don't care what anyone says! If I get questioned, I usually say, "I don't eat meat." People think I am crazy, so they just say, "Oh," and walk away. lol

    Great video AJ!! People just need to get busy & do the work of changing how they look at their food intake. Keeping a food journal of everything they put on their mouth is work & well worth their time & effort. Not only a food journal but how they feel each day of their journey so they understand their triggers (good & bad). Plain & simple peeps - do the work to get the results you want. Thank you AJ for your candid honesty, frustration & all. You are the real deal.

    EXCELLENT, as always. It was cool seeing everything you eat in a day. It's nice to know that I can eat that much, too, and lose weight. I'm learning to gradually incorporate more vegetables into my diet (I went from not liking veggies at all to re-training my tastebuds to appreciate them, so I have to use a little salt at the moment but I'm cutting that out bit by bit, too). Thank you again! I just love WLW!

    I love how candid you are about people who focus on the small stuff. That's just a cover up for their lack of education. I watch you to learn how to get high nutrient dense meals. Due to a serious bicycle accident 3 years ago that in addition to my broken body requiring multiple titanium implants to walk, move my arm and reconstruct my crushed face, I now struggle with Traumatic Brain Injury. I no longer experience any hunger, so when I eat it must be nutrient dense so that my body doesn't get inflammations that will cause illness.
    Until this video, I didn't realize the omega3 / 6 balance issue and will definitely be doing some research on that. Thank you for all the information and for being real. I love that part of your personality.

I (5'5" 170lbs) I start my day out with FRUIT, and or OATS. I love veggies (and I am a potato nut), so now it's veggies for me. I love to eat....I can't wait to do this. Thank you!
