“You are not fat and have diabetes because it runs in your family, you're fat because NO ONE runs in your family” says Chef AJ, author of Unprocessed: How to Achieve Vibrant Health and Your Ideal Weight, demonstrating the kind of sharp wit that earned her a guest spot on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson AND Jay Leno. In a lively interview, she talks about her transition from unhealthy vegetarian to fierce advocate for healthy AND delicious food.

The core message of her popular book is that healthy food MUST be tasty or we won't be motivated to eat it. With her podcast YouTube cooking show "The Chef and the Dietitian," she demonstrates that you needn't sacrifice any taste to eat healthy. In this cast, she explains caloric density, and why understanding that is key to loosing weight, feeling and looking great, and having as much energy as you want to live a vibrant and healthy life.

And she's very very funny. "Going Unprocessed is a process," she says, so she shares her favorite books and movies that people can use to educate themselves on the latest science of why we should eliminate salt, sugar and oil from our diet. Her work proves we can do that without loosing one tiny bit of deliciousness.
