Chef AJ
Chef AJ is one of the world's leading vegan chefs, known as the weight-loss warrior, she has turned her own personal weight-loss success into a global movement. Here's how she describes her journey. "For over 43 years, I’ve been all-in on a plant-exclusive diet, and it’s been an incredible ride. You might know me from my TV show, Healthy Living with CHEF AJ on Foody TV, where I combine my love for cooking with my mission to make healthy eating accessible and fun. I wear many hats: chef, culinary instructor, and professional speaker, but my passion is showing people how to make delicious, healing foods. My book, Unprocessed: How to Achieve Vibrant Health and Your Ideal Weight, chronicles my transformation from an obese junk-food vegan diagnosed with pre-cancerous polyps to a vibrant advocate for whole foods. It’s a testament to the power of plants to heal and rejuvenate. Another book, The Secrets to Ultimate Weight Loss: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquer Cravings, Overcome Food Addiction, and Lose Weight Without Going Hungry, has been a game-changer for many. With endorsements from leading voices in the plant-based world, it’s helping folks everywhere conquer their cravings and embrace a healthier lifestyle. Did you know I used to be the Executive Pastry Chef at Santé Restaurant in Los Angeles? There, I became known for my sugar, oil, salt, and gluten-free desserts made with nothing but whole fruit. You can find these beloved recipes in my book, A Date With Dessert."
