Join the live Q&A with Chef AJ and John Pierre on Saturday, July 15 2023, at 9am Pacific here on Chef AJ's YouTube channel Karen's Story After growing up as a thin normal child and teen, I started gaining weight in my twenties. Then when I got pregnant with my oldest son, I gained 50 lbs and never really looked back. I gained another 20-25 lbs with each of my boys. By the time my third son was born, I was over 200 lbs. At 5'5", that was 75 lbs overweight. Every time I tried to lose weight, I would succeed for a couple of months but would always regain what I lost and a few more lbs extra. In the 90s, I tried phen-fen and lost 70 lbs only to once again, gain the weight back plus a little more. By the time the 2000s rolled around, I was 100+ lbs overweight. In 2004, I was at my heaviest at 260 lbs. In 2011, I had a stroke after eating a low low carb diet and not being able to maintain it. It left me with left side weakness including left hemisphere blindness. Finally in 2019, I discovered a whole food plant exclusive diet and the secret to finally losing the weight that had plagued me. I also found Chef AJ and eating sofas free and I never intend to go back to meat and dairy. Last year, I had an undiagnosed excruciating pain and while I continued to eat wfpe, I let Taco Bell hook me in. I did the reboot last year and started to regain my desire for sofas free and understanding how important it is. I am slowly losing the 15 lbs I gained and I also re-examined my why. Being wfpe-sofas free has been a great way to eat!
