For the book I choose from page 1: I chose here because she says she can’t eliminate sugar and oil and when she tries any of my desserts or my Disappearing Lasagna, she will see how delicious food can be when SOS FREE.
JoanneI do pretty well cooking for me and my husband but can’t seem to eliminate the small amounts of sugar and oil I still use. We eat out only once or at the most twice a month, so eating out is not a problem. My husband is not vegan but eats what I cook when at home. (He orders animal products when we eat out.) I think he will complain if I get rid of the small amounts of sugar and oil that I still cook with. I could use coaching to show me how to keep food tasty while eliminating the sugar and oil.
For the DVD I choose from page 1: I chose him because he was already able to commit to a program for 66 days and I think he would really be able to commit to our program for 30 days and be quite successful.

2) Chef AJ rocks! I’d like to learn from someone who has lived through it. I’m a Virgo and I want only the best 🙂
I made it 66 days this year, broke a rib, and lost my resolve. Time to get back on track. And for good.
Fingers crossed!
Gloria Caraballo(1) What is your Number 1 struggle in adapting aWhole Foods, Plant Based diet (and by definition, that means SOS (salt, oil and sugar) free)?
(2) What difference would or could having a private coach mean in your life?
I believe in family and the love that is shared between those special individuals. And just like the lives of those before me (my mother to diabetes, my father to stroke, my sister-in-law to heart disease AT 57!, countless others), I know what I am, who I am and what I do effects others. And today, by solely filling this out, I hope to take one step away from diabetes, high blood pressure, and being overweight and be one step closer to confidence, high genuine self esteem and literally BEING the change I pray for in my family’s life. My husband (who deals with gout, diabetes and high blood pressure), who on the surface may not be the quickest to run towards change, will walk hand in hand with me to do this… together… as a family. So for us, like so many that have been helped and enlightened, this could literally extend and most importantly SAVE our lives.

I’ve been WFPB for 4 years but am still struggling with salt and sugar cravings. I find it extremely difficult to eat veggies without salt and it’s hard for me to turn down sweet treats. Other than my husband, no one else I know personally follows a WFPB no SOS lifestyle.
(2) What difference would or could having a private coach mean in your life?
I think having Chef AJ give me a kick in the pants would help me improve my adherence to this lifestyle! I greatly admire her honest, no BS approach. Lately I’ve caught myself sabotaging my choices. Although I initially lost 36 lbs. doing McDougall, I still need to lose another 20-30 lbs. I want to be as healthy as possible after watching my mom die from breast cancer and my dad from heart disease.
I am more than willing and able to write a guest post for HGK about the experience of coaching from Chef AJ should I be lucky enough to win that one! Thanks for the opportunity. Kim

Having the success that I’ve had in the program, I want to make a difference in the lives of others as well. And I’m doing so through several avenues. I started a website at http://www.wholeplantfoodsdietguidelines.com that helps other people understand this diet and how to do it. I also blog about my own experiences athttp://www.finallyourtime.com. And I maintain a listing of local restaurant foods that members of our 400 person Eat Smart, Live Longer (ESLL) Club can use when eating out. I believe that having the personal coaching from Chef AJ can help me to more effectively spread the word, help others to discover this great way of eating and also help me to learn to better cook for myself.

#2 Having a private coach would help me not only prepare better healthier meals for my children, but give me the confidence to know that I’m doing it correctly. I want to set a better example for them instead of what I have been doing for years.”
