Tiffany Pagni proves anyone can do anything they put their mind to. Born legally blind with several physical defects including heart and kidney issues, she took her health into her own hands and changed her life. After stumbling across The Starch Solution by Dr. McDougall, Chef AJ, Dr. Neal Barnard, and many other vegan doctors, she took control of her failing health. She adopted the McDougall Diet and lost 60 pounds, reversed her hypertension, and her bloodwork is the best it has ever been. Like many new vegans, she wanted to educate her friends and family about the health benefits of being vegan and the dangers of eating animals and decided to write a book after seeing Dr. McDougall’s “Dairy is Disease” video. With the help of the independent vegan publisher Mitali Deypurkaystha and her team, she was able to bring that book to the public. A short book which is meant to be a one-stop-shop for basic health information and reasons to go vegan. It contains recipes, video recommendations, documentary recommendations, the hard facts how animal protein hurts human health, and the disgusting truth about animal agriculture. Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Protein-Inc-Would-Chronic-Disease/dp/B0BZT89ZKS Her contact email is: support@protein-inc.com In her spare time, she likes to develop video games that are accessible to blind gamers. She has an Itch.io account where she hosts her small projects for free for everyone to use and experience. Itch.io link: https://blindninjagames.itch.io/ She also has a YouTube channel where she posts updates about whatever project she’s currently working on.

Karen Gaylor Had a Stroke, Lost Over 100 Pounds and Regained Her Health

Feeling inspired? Not too long ago we were in your shoes. But regardless of how long or how deeply you've suffered, the past doesn't define your future. You do and we're here to help you every step of the way! Click this link to join the Ultimate Reboot Program: https://ultimatereboot.org/enroll/ Need more proof? Watch the daily success stories here on Chef AJ's YouTube channel from July 11-17, 2023 Got questions? 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!

Cut the tofu into cubes and place on parchment paper with sea salt (optional) and pepper and bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Set aside. Skewer all the vegetables and the tofu in any arrangement that you would like. You can brush the sweet and sour sauce on but with the sugar it tends to burn so I brushed it on after the vegetables were grilled. Rotate skewers with tongs until browned on all sides. Remove kebabs from the grill and serve over rice. Drizzle more sauce if needed. Cilantro Rice (Makes 3 to 4 servings) Ingredients: 1 cup long grain Brown Rice 2 cups Water ½ teaspoon sea salt (optional) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro 2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced ½ cup slivered almonds, toasted Directions: In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, sea salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until rice is cooked, and water is absorbed. Remove from heat, and let sit, covered, for 15 minutes. Add lemon juice, cilantro, scallions and almonds to the rice and fluff with a fork. You can also cook the rice in your Instant Pot and then add in the other ingredients after opening the lid.
