Around 32:48 Jenna hits the nail on the head when she brings up how challenging it might be for someone to find new habits to replace addictive eating. She describes the issue very well and it resonated with me.
I NEVER ATE JUNK FOOD. BUT NOT DIETING. FAMILY COOKING MEDITERRANEAN. AFRICAN ARAB COOKING. LOW FAT MOSTLY, BREAD, STEWS AND SALADS. i WAS ALAWAYS HUNGRY WITH A SNACK IN MY POCKET. From age 13 and on, always overweight and starving myself to stay at 4 pounds over my ideal weight. Discovered Atkins in the 90s. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I WAS NO LONGER HUNGRY CONTINUOUSLY! But Atkins did not restrict calories and my weight loss stalled. I gave up but never went back to sugar, pasta, rice and potatoes. The snacking was gone. Years passed by. I restarted not Atkins but the keto this time. I had found ketones! But by them I was menopaused. I did well at first, and then stalled again. I was counting calories, this time. After a year, an influencer I followed (Mat Lauer) said that you should cycle out of keto every 3 to 6 months. I gained back 10 pounds in 6 months. The last 2 months I watch blood glucose spiking foods: I lowered saturated fat consumption, introduced back tofu and beans in moderation along with greens that I already was consuming, fiber and berries. My appetite is under control. I drink 10-12 cups water/ lemon water. When I feel like eating a date, I do that after a full meal with animal and plant protein, avocado and nut/ eggs salad. I feel balanced. I am not vegan, keto, carnivore or anything else: I watch out to keep carbs low enough but not to 20 or 30 grams per day. AND I COUNT MY CALORIE INTAKE! I also never walk less than 4,000 steps/day. My average is 8,000 steps. I love my smartwatch reminding me that I have to get up and move. lol. Long and twisted journey. You do not have to embrace 1 religion: they all worship the same god. Not a single diet makes you gain weight if followed religiously. But which lifestyle will you adopt? Not a diet: find your lifestyle. good luck everybody! Remember your sleep and your prayers and meditation. breathing exercises.
12 years ago his talks changed my eating habits. I lost 43 pounds in 5 months. 4 years later, life changed unfavorably, I let candy ice cream chips back in, gained 8 pounds every year until I was 33 pounds heavier. Last year Dr. Ekbergs intermittent fasting entered. Went 16:8, lost 17 pounds in 2 months. Stayed IF, but weight loss stalled. Started ADF last week. Lost 7 pounds. Gonna stay this course for a while. Eat GBOMBS on eating days.
ADF isn't great, Ekberg isn't very reliable, maybe go the full nutritarian but with a calorie deficit until you reach target weight. Finish eating four or five hours before sleeping, that can be key to waking with fully flat stomach and ready to empty bowel in the morning. Best wishes

Hi great info. Thanks for your efforts. My fasting Insulin is 5 but A1c stays close 8& 9. (I'm in my late 50's being a type 2 Diabetes for about 20 years, I don't take any medication, anymore). What does this indicates? Please explain.
A1c of 8/9... you meet threshold for needing treatment friend. Diet (wfpb) and excercise as well BUT if A1c stays high, you may need to adjunct with medication to prevent organ damage from elevated Sugars.
I'm really confused. Over the past weeks I've listened to doctors advocating keto and carnivore diets. They seem very restrictive but many people wrote to say they have been following these diets for years and never felt better. One doctor said that grains and spices are unhealhy and even dangerous. I make an Ayurveda mix of 7 spices to add to my tea so now wonder how safe it is. I'm 81, 1m65 (5ft5"), have always weighed 120lbs (55k) and am in good health so I must be doing something right but am really not sure what's best to eat. I bet I'm not the only one puzzled.
Listen to this doctor and the doctor who wrote the book "How Not to Age." They do not recommend Keto and Carnivore. Eating spices and a variety of plants is good for us.
If you are 81, in good health, no chronic diseases , just continue doing what you are doing. You are already doing the perfect lifestyle for you. No need to listen to anybody. Everybody is unique. Healthy food for one person could be poison for another.
@maelitamoei606: I agree. There are vegans, vegetarians, carnivores, all living well into old age. I do believe every body has different nutritional needs.Balance is probably the best but definitely excessive sugar is a no-no.
@@DIABETESHEALTHS They are not mine, I believe it was an Indian doctor but I didn't retain her name. Sorry.

I eat oats for breakfast, black beans and brown rice, vegetables, avocado for lunch followed by the chick peas and brown rice for dinner., According to my CGM my blood sugar spikes very high 2-3 hours after my meals.

Most people don't have rice alone or bread alone. A Rice and beans meal, for example, have plenty of fiber, so wouldn't the glycemic load of that meal be lower. Same with bread.
Dear Re I have been a diabetic for over 20 years, although not educated, rice and beans are just as bad as sugarbeans are high in starches. I have spoken to Dr john mcdougall who wants us to be starchovoures. When I say how my sugar rises very high, he recommends I take some insulin. I am against meds of any kind so I don't see why I would take insulin. Any one eating a starchy diet like Dr john recommends, are at risk of a stroke or blood clot causing a heart attack. I was shock when I heard the Dr died a few days ago. I have attributed his sudden death to his starch diet. I feel he had a stroke in the night although we were not told. I say his potatoe and rice diet caused his death. I love Dr Furhman,s knowledge of food because he makes a lot of sense.
I think it has been shown that eating high glycemic foods with protein and fiber lowers the glycemic load. But perhaps it’s still not as low as if you’d eaten the protein and fiber without the white bread or white rice? The confusing thing is that the nutrition labels for white and brown rice aren’t that different. The fiber content is only a gram or two different between the two. 🤷🏼♀️
Dr fuhrman thank you so much . I am 62 years old , am have diabetes. I eat 70% healthy . Sometimes i fall off the wagon. My diabetes has gotten worst and now i must get serious , becos my life depends on it . Thank you so much for this video . God bless you !
What you expect ! The government changed our food because when i was a small child i could eat all carbonated food no problem. It started when the government messed with our foods. I was on a farm when I was 6 years old and i had milk from a cow no sugar now there is sugar in milk even powder milk . When did that happen?
Great episode 🙏🏻 is it possible that when you get to menopause you can become more insulin resistant? I have a high raw diet with beans and greens and nuts and seeds, and no refine sugar in my diet and yet during the past two years of becoming menopausal, the glucose in my Hba1c is climbing up 😬😬 any suggestions 🙏🏻🙏🏻
It's a good rule of the thumb that food has to be quickly to leave the stomach slowly to enter the blood. You don't want to eat some undigestive mess that will be sitting on the stomach for 10 hours, but also not something so easy that in 2 hours it'll be all down the bloodstream.
I'm having a small diet issue. My fasting glucose is on the high side (110). I've fully converted to nutritarian about 2 weeks ago and still see some spikes from my 1 cup of beans and maybe a cup of quinoa. This week I took out the beans and added 3-4 ounces of animal protein/day. Everything else stays the same. After about 4 days my fasting glucose is down massively to 80. I'm struggling with this. I'm eating incredibly clean and at a caloric deficit daily (1,500). I'd rather have beans than meat. I tested it again and took out the meat (in place of beans) and added back the cup of beans (different kinds but mostly black lentils) and my fasting glucose shot back up to 110. I'm thinking of maybe using 1/4 to 1/2 cup of beans daily but keeping the once daily dose (4 ounces) of meat. I am losing weight.
Try ACV before a meal in addition to what you’re already doing. Go for a 20min walk after every meal. Make sure you’re getting sound sleep everyday. Cortisol arising from bad sleep can contribute to high baseline glucose
No you will never fully reverse your insulin resistance eating meat. You are confusing short term benefit with long term damage. This might help th-cam.com/video/d14PhGWDV6c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QlnfowGgfS73IHlJ
I thank God for you Dr. Fuhrman & you too Jenna! I have most of his books and have been following him since he did a series on PBS New Jersey. His GBOMBS, I taped on my refrigerator until it became a normal part of my life. I have shared his pamphlets with many friends,
I bought a book Eat 2 Live and it help me a lot after my Doctor told me to inject insuline because of my HBA1A of 18. I use the book in combination with prolong fasting, I.F., and O.M.A.D with HIIT and strength exercise. Now I don't even have taken my oral medicine.
If I hadn't watched Ekberg's video on fasting, I wouldn't know what waa meant by beta cells. These two complement each other. Love listening to them and practicing what they preach.
Ekberg is only a social media influencer. His heart might be in the right place but he is not part of the scientific community. Don't put too much weight on what he Says
@@richardjackson5380 I don't "guru" anyone. I use my critical listening and thinking to decide what to follow. 12 years ago, Fuhrman's PBS talks made so much sense in my head, they changed my eating habits. A year ago Ekberg's videos intrigued me about the internal effects of our food. I like Ekberg's delivery style and humor. Thanks for your concern. I trust my critical thinking.
@@richardjackson5380Sten might be a social media influencer, but he does extreme research! You listen to this guy.... No different. Try some of Dr Ben Bikmans info. He is a cellular biologist. Don't get such on 1 Drs info.
At age 76 yrs, even with going on while good and removing all kinds if sugar, I've only lost 10 lbs over 8 months, and not deemed pre diabetic, then will I really become healthy?
Sorry,I was wrong about the focus on raw food. But Dr Fuhrman suggests eating GBOMBS: G=Greens B=Beans O=Onion(raw) M=Mushrooms(cooked) B=Berries S=Seeds and Nuts Dr Fuhrman explains in his books how these 6 foods/categories of foods are essential.
I follow everything you say, I'm a real good nutritarian. My A1c has gone up this past 4 months, 5.8, and for quite a while, my fasting blood sugar has raised to 97-106 from 84-85. Where do i turn for help, my Dr. has no idea.
@@ChuckruuDr Mindy Pelz, Dr Eric Westman, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Sean Omara, Dr Boz...... There are many to listen to. After listening to many, many, many...... Nutritarian is a lot of carbs, not enough meat. Just my opinion. Be your own advocate. Check out American Diabetes Society.
Get rid of your drugs they're useless they're just making Pharma richer just stop eating carbohydrates in 6 to 8 weeks you will reverse diabetes you will no longer have high blood pressure. Believe me check out Dr Anthony Chaffie CHAFFEE on TH-cam, you'll understand what I'm talking about.
Please discuss Walter Kempner's Rice Diet, which McDougall sometimes recommended for extremely ill patients. White rice and fruit juice is almost completely backwards from your recommendations here.
Hi @bhami. While Dr. Kempner's approach showed some benefits for severely ill patients in the short term, it's important to understand the context. The Rice Diet was primarily used as a temporary, therapeutic intervention for extreme cases, not as a long-term nutrition plan. The nutritarian approach aims to maximize nutrient density and overall health in the long term. White rice and fruit juice, while potentially useful in specific short-term scenarios, don't provide the broad spectrum of nutrients needed for optimal health over time. Our current understanding of nutrition has evolved significantly since Kempner's time. We now know the importance of phytochemicals, fiber, and the wide array of micronutrients found in a diverse, plant-rich diet. While historical approaches like the Rice Diet have their place in medical history, I believe the nutritarian diet offers a more comprehensive, sustainable approach to health and longevity based on the latest nutritional science.
Loved this conversation! 🌱💚 Have always so identified with your passion to get the message out that we need to do the best things for ourselves, and not settle. Loved the part where Jennifer mentions these influencers or nutritionists who promote acceptance of unhealthy habits…I’ve always been so puzzled by that. ..nobody ever has wanted to shame people, and getting healthy is about changing habits which means follow the evidence-backed research (and for me, follow your knowledgeable & inspirational teachings too ) & stop eating the unhealthy foods. You’ve informed so much of what I do as a health coach, thank you!
Dr Fuhrman, how do I get in contact with your clinic to schedule a consultation? I live in Maryland and willing to make the trip to get ride of this type2
Dr. Fuhrman, my wife and I have been nutritarian for close to 15 years, in our early 70s, exercise regularly, ideal weight, and doing great. The diet is perfect for me because I was always prone to constipation before I got on this diet. My wife, however, has always had the opposite problem of being “too loose”. Instead of “more fiber”, my wife is hoping to find some nutritious food that is “more binding”. What would you suggest? (Sorry to say, this is becoming a more serious problem for her as time goes by.) Thank you!
Have you listened to or read Dr. Bulseiwicz, plant based GI doc? Also, has your wife seen a gastroenterologist in person within the last few years? Has she had a colonoscopy?
@@flyshacker From my experience, TH-cam will not post links, but if you google Dr. Will Bulsiewicz or his book Fiber Fueled or go to The Exam Room Podcast and look for Dr. Bulsiewicz you will find many of his videos.
Congratulations on your 15-year nutritarian journey! It's wonderful to hear about your health improvements. For your wife's issue, consider adjusting the balance of cooked vs. raw vegetables, or incorporating more cooked leafy greens and squashes. Chia seeds soaked in water can also help. Remember, staying hydrated is crucial. If the problem persists, it may be wise to consult with a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation.
Thank you for this wonderful and informative podcast. I will strongly recommend this to my patients, I may have to help with translation as not everyone speaks English very well. Dear dr. Fuhrman, I also recommend your G-Bombs. Greetings from Germany
In 2016 TH-cam introduced me to dr joel and dr mcdougal!! Their teachings changed my life And as someone born and raised in rural Africa It was very easy for me because Growing up we couldn't afford animal products We ate mostly sweet and irish potatoes(which i dont peel and eat with skins) I hope to live sickness free and peacefully die like dr john mcdougall
I would think by now that his daughter would know enough to have a more meaningful conversation after growing up ‘fuhrman. Keep teaching Dr… the world needs to hear what you’re teaching.
this is crazy news bc I have been doing IF since January and lost weight!70 and still losing however😢 my a1c is still high. so i’m doing all meat🥹and m blood sugars have dropped
Great message and info. Jenna doesn’t need to say “fricken” as an adjective as emphasis please. I appreciate that Dr. Fuhrman has learned to speak more slowly. It helps tremendously in hearing and understanding this healthy nutrition education. Thank you so much for this podcast. Jenna asks excellent questions to help people better understand these concepts.
What a crock of whooooeeee. You don’t want to trip insulin don’t eat grains and beans. Too many carbs. Same with high glycemic fruits and veggies. Insulin bombs. Geez … added oil to food doesn’t get stored into your bloodstream. More bunk.
I've been on Keto for 6 years now, you don't need carbs for energy the body can convert fat, and you don't need fiber, so eat lots of fat, butter and olive oil, and you will not get diabetes.
You don't understand how diabetes comes about. Your diet will likely be making you more insulin resistant once you are inevitably forced to eat properly again. You are damaging your body. Never lose sight of the fact that the longest lived most healthy populations on the planet eat mostly plants and fruit and next to no meat, eggs, fish or dairy. If you want to learn a little bit of the actual science you could begin with this th-cam.com/video/d14PhGWDV6c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QlnfowGgfS73IHlJ
I eat a high carb low fat diet and it controls my T2 diabetes. Once in a while I can enjoy a fatty steak with no ill effect on blood sugar. Keto and carnivore folks do admit that after fat adaptation eating a plate of fruit spikes their glucose very high. Seems that keto carnivore doesn't solve diabetes just covers it up.
Uff immigrants maintain your cultural identity and heritage esp how your ancestors ate All that glitters is not gold Take the good leave the bad Abusing your body by putting “good looking” food that will cause diabetes and cancer doesn’t make any sense Heal thyself 😊
Wrong, ketones are an alternative/ supportive fuel for the brain....in case of fasting neurons can oxidize ketone bodies produced in the liver from fatty acids.
No you have been duped. Not sustainable and massively damaging to the body. If you would like to start a journey of education in real biochemistry this might help th-cam.com/video/d14PhGWDV6c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QlnfowGgfS73IHlJ
This is wrong. How can eating animal fat something we have been eating for millions of years, going to all of a sudden damage our insulin receptors 😅 . The toxic fat from seed oils is really the culprit to blame
Wow, what misinformation you lay out I've been diabetic for 25 years and I had high blood pressure at the same time. I was a vegan and I could not control my diabetes. I found the carnivore diet on March 22, 2024 was the last time I ate a carbohydrate and I will never eat another carbohydrate. My brain does not need a carbohydrate to function, I only eat steak butter eggs now and then a little salmon or lamb. I've no longer have type two diabetes. My A1c is now 5.4 so you're putting out a lot of misinformation. I don't know where you got your medical degree, but you gotta turn it back in
Dr. Fuhrman is correct. There is a lot of research behind what he says. Read the book "How Not to Age." The carnivore diet may reduce A1C in the short run, but it will increase the risk of heart disease or cancer in the long run.
This is the 2nd video back to back I've watched tonight. I feel like I must have been living on a different planet than you have. At least you did mention that there are nefarious agendas that are poisoning our food and drink along with everything else that we need on this planet to survive. If what you have said as in a medical book were in fact the only invaders or the only situations that cause our early demise we might be able to accomplish your goals for good health and reversing diabetes wouldn't that be wonderful. Unfortunately we do not live on the corner of perfect. No mention was made of contaminated poisonous meds, intentional by the way, including the many vaccines that are pushed into us not just from birth as I've recently found out, but even when we are in the womb now. And it doesn't seem that is worth mention towards mortality? That's a subject for another time, but the qualifications you say that will cause diabetes isn't even the only cause. My son is a perfect example of being totally opposite to what you have said. So many things that you've said on this video haven't even been heard of in the world I live in!? And I assure you that most Drs are not informing their patients what you are saying. So is it any wonder then that when people do not get the correct information from the so called Dr being paid by us to properly inform and treat our health issues and being paid by a few freaks that think they own the world and us in it, they seem to take sides with the better paying and convincing side!? Why aren't you going around the country to present the scientific data and study results to we the people? Now I am mad that you have known these things and yet no one I know has ever mentioned any of them!? My son deserves better than this! By the way we live in Kansas in case want to come and help us and many others that are dealing with everything we are!? It would have been a great listen to otherwise! But my son won't believe me and it's going to be hard for even a health care provider bc he's heard all his life that type 1 diabetes is incurable so his mindset is just that. Well I know a man named Jesus who came here and died for all our sins in order that we would choose to live a life for him and not go to hell. He has a father who knows everything and he says that you are all wrong about life and death. He is the Alpha and Omega and there are people who are telling the truth about diseases, they have been created by evil men!😂
Oh I didn't mean that I've watched you twice, i watched another expert deliver basically the same info but much more foreign to what we've been brought up believing yet he's from a different religious background if that makes a difference?
36:31 Don't blame the Doctor and his daughter.No one is responsible for your health but you.Telling him he knows all this but doesn't tell the world is utter nonsense.
TLDR… Here are the foods: Greens Beans Onions Mushrooms Berries Seeds Quinoa, carrots, sweet potato moderate amount Veg bean soup for lunch It’s detrimental to NOT eat berries regardless of sugar content.
Excellent video!!! Perfectly Healthy!!!💞💞🙃💞💞
Glad you liked it!!
How great it must be for Dr Fuhrman to do these videos with his beautiful daughter on a regular basis!
Thank you!

I think it has been shown that eating high glycemic foods with protein and fiber lowers the glycemic load. But perhaps it’s still not as low as if you’d eaten the protein and fiber without the white bread or white rice? The confusing thing is that the nutrition labels for white and brown rice aren’t that different. The fiber content is only a gram or two different between the two. 🤷🏼♀️
Great question!
Thank you for this excellent video! I watched your video for the first time and i loved it.
Love your videos. Have your book Eat to live. Use it as a reference a lot. Thank you.
I really want to come to San Diego and participate in your treatment
Can you send me a food list please of what is good ro eat
Look into the blood type lifestyle
Soup
Dr fuhrman thank you so much . I am 62 years old , am have diabetes. I eat 70% healthy . Sometimes i fall off the wagon. My diabetes has gotten worst and now i must get serious , becos my life depends on it . Thank you so much for this video . God bless you !
What is your HbA1c reading?
@@Sentinel-911mine is 5.9...How long do you you think it can take to get it below 5.7 without medication???
@@edi8333 Getting to 5.7 is not difficult with exercise and dieting.
@@Sentinel-911Ok
Great message. I have so much to learn, meaning the reason why.
What you expect ! The government changed our food because when i was a small child i could eat all carbonated food no problem. It started when the government messed with our foods. I was on a farm when I was 6 years old and i had milk from a cow no sugar now there is sugar in milk even powder milk . When did that happen?
"Don't control your diabetes, Get rid of it" ❤❤❤
Great episode 🙏🏻 is it possible that when you get to menopause you can become more insulin resistant? I have a high raw diet with beans and greens and nuts and seeds, and no refine sugar in my diet and yet during the past two years of becoming menopausal, the glucose in my Hba1c is climbing up 😬😬 any suggestions 🙏🏻🙏🏻
These podcasts brings such insight, Thankyou 🥰
The best i have ever heard.....thanks doc.
It's a good rule of the thumb that food has to be quickly to leave the stomach slowly to enter the blood. You don't want to eat some undigestive mess that will be sitting on the stomach for 10 hours, but also not something so easy that in 2 hours it'll be all down the bloodstream.
Totally agree! That's a great way to put it. Thanks for sharing your insight!
I'm having a small diet issue. My fasting glucose is on the high side (110). I've fully converted to nutritarian about 2 weeks ago and still see some spikes from my 1 cup of beans and maybe a cup of quinoa. This week I took out the beans and added 3-4 ounces of animal protein/day. Everything else stays the same. After about 4 days my fasting glucose is down massively to 80. I'm struggling with this. I'm eating incredibly clean and at a caloric deficit daily (1,500). I'd rather have beans than meat. I tested it again and took out the meat (in place of beans) and added back the cup of beans (different kinds but mostly black lentils) and my fasting glucose shot back up to 110. I'm thinking of maybe using 1/4 to 1/2 cup of beans daily but keeping the once daily dose (4 ounces) of meat. I am losing weight.
Try ACV before a meal in addition to what you’re already doing. Go for a 20min walk after every meal. Make sure you’re getting sound sleep everyday. Cortisol arising from bad sleep can contribute to high baseline glucose
@@surendarvijay2520 I do all that. It's how I got to an 80 glucose reading but only when I left the beans/quinoa out.
@@douglas2835 I see. Then it makes sense to limit carbs, if it’s clearly working.
No you will never fully reverse your insulin resistance eating meat. You are confusing short term benefit with long term damage. This might help th-cam.com/video/d14PhGWDV6c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QlnfowGgfS73IHlJ
Interesting. My glucose is around 107. Will try this
I like your daughter as an interviewer. She does very good.
Packed full of excellent content.Thank you so much for the last fifteen years of expertise!!!
Thanks for all the good info.
Excellent lecture on Diabetes. Same appreciated and much learned. Thanks and God bless.
Hi Dr can you show us how o make diner .
What about low iron on this diet?
You are a weath of good information
I thank God for you Dr. Fuhrman & you too Jenna! I have most of his books and have been following him since he did a series on PBS New Jersey. His GBOMBS, I taped on my refrigerator until it became a normal part of my life. I have shared his pamphlets with many friends,
What pamphlet?
Exellente video as always!!thank you so much Doctor ❤❤❤
I bought a book Eat 2 Live and it help me a lot after my Doctor told me to inject insuline because of my HBA1A of 18. I use the book in combination with prolong fasting, I.F., and O.M.A.D with HIIT and strength exercise. Now I don't even have taken my oral medicine.
If I hadn't watched Ekberg's video on fasting, I wouldn't know what waa meant by beta cells. These two complement each other. Love listening to them and practicing what they preach.
Ekberg is only a social media influencer. His heart might be in the right place but he is not part of the scientific community. Don't put too much weight on what he Says
@@richardjackson5380 I don't "guru" anyone. I use my critical listening and thinking to decide what to follow. 12 years ago, Fuhrman's PBS talks made so much sense in my head, they changed my eating habits. A year ago Ekberg's videos intrigued me about the internal effects of our food. I like Ekberg's delivery style and humor. Thanks for your concern. I trust my critical thinking.
@@richardjackson5380Sten might be a social media influencer, but he does extreme research! You listen to this guy.... No different. Try some of Dr Ben Bikmans info. He is a cellular biologist. Don't get such on 1 Drs info.
At age 76 yrs, even with going on while good and removing all kinds if sugar, I've only lost 10 lbs over 8 months, and not deemed pre diabetic, then will I really become healthy?
Great podcast I have a question about mushrooms are they OK to eat raw or have to be cooked to get the best nutrients thank you❤
the Doc usually says cooked is better for mushrooms
I use oil free hummus as dressing. Does that count as my bean serving?
definitely goes towards it if you have a good portion, but more beans as a feature would be better!!
Hi I know someone who has been diagnosed with bowel cancer any tips to get them better? Eat a healthier diet but what. Dr furham recommend ?
Stop sugar. He said Cancer feeds on sugar.
Is your program like the one that Dr. McDougal has?
No… this Dr Fuhrman would not recommend so much starch. His focus is more on raw vegetables. But similar in that they are both vegan.
Sorry,I was wrong about the focus on raw food. But Dr Fuhrman suggests eating GBOMBS:
G=Greens
B=Beans
O=Onion(raw)
M=Mushrooms(cooked)
B=Berries
S=Seeds and Nuts
Dr Fuhrman explains in his books how these 6 foods/categories of foods are essential.
I'm does low b1 stop sugar entering the cells?
Dr Furhurm, where is your clinic located. Please let me know.
San Diego
I wish my doctor knew this
Can you eat Chinese Vegetable Chop Suey without the rice--- if they could not use salt??? HOW do I order that?
I follow everything you say, I'm a real good nutritarian. My A1c has gone up this past 4 months, 5.8, and for quite a while, my fasting blood sugar has raised to 97-106 from 84-85. Where do i turn for help, my Dr. has no idea.
Same here
This diet runs contrary to human evolution. Look into keto, carnivore. Watch Dr Berry. Many docs and scientists on TH-cam can help.
@@veronicawelcker2693see my comment below.
Do time restricted eating with your nutritarian diet. Look ok up Dr Fung and Dr Jamnadas
@@ChuckruuDr Mindy Pelz, Dr Eric Westman, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Sean Omara, Dr Boz...... There are many to listen to. After listening to many, many, many...... Nutritarian is a lot of carbs, not enough meat. Just my opinion. Be your own advocate. Check out American Diabetes Society.
Thanks 😊
I like using chronometer😊
Does the traditional Asian diet primarily include brown rice?
Wow ! I am on Ozempic and have decided to get off . Also i am currently taking metformin 500mg twice a day .
Get rid of your drugs they're useless they're just making Pharma richer just stop eating carbohydrates in 6 to 8 weeks you will reverse diabetes you will no longer have high blood pressure. Believe me check out Dr Anthony Chaffie CHAFFEE on TH-cam, you'll understand what I'm talking about.
I switched Metformin to Berberine and take about 1500 mg daily. I like WellBetX brand
Please discuss Walter Kempner's Rice Diet, which McDougall sometimes recommended for extremely ill patients. White rice and fruit juice is almost completely backwards from your recommendations here.
Hi @bhami.
While Dr. Kempner's approach showed some benefits for severely ill patients in the short term, it's important to understand the context. The Rice Diet was primarily used as a temporary, therapeutic intervention for extreme cases, not as a long-term nutrition plan.
The nutritarian approach aims to maximize nutrient density and overall health in the long term. White rice and fruit juice, while potentially useful in specific short-term scenarios, don't provide the broad spectrum of nutrients needed for optimal health over time.
Our current understanding of nutrition has evolved significantly since Kempner's time. We now know the importance of phytochemicals, fiber, and the wide array of micronutrients found in a diverse, plant-rich diet.
While historical approaches like the Rice Diet have their place in medical history, I believe the nutritarian diet offers a more comprehensive, sustainable approach to health and longevity based on the latest nutritional science.
Loved this conversation! 🌱💚
Have always so identified with your passion to get the message out that we need to do the best things for ourselves, and not settle.
Loved the part where Jennifer mentions these influencers or nutritionists who promote acceptance of unhealthy habits…I’ve always been so puzzled by that. ..nobody ever has wanted to shame people, and getting healthy is about changing habits which means follow the evidence-backed research (and for me, follow your knowledgeable & inspirational teachings too ) & stop eating the unhealthy foods.
You’ve informed so much of what I do as a health coach, thank you!
Powerful!👍🏾💪🏾
Dr Fuhrman, how do I get in contact with your clinic to schedule a consultation? I live in Maryland and willing to make the trip to get ride of this type2
Well, that explains a lot.
I missed the 6 foods
Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries and Seeds (seeds and nuts) are the GBOMBS
I eat raw veg and meat raw onions too sometimes brown rice. Can.i eat mangoes?
Hi you can eat a face of a mango when you feel like eating a mango I grew up on.mangoes no worries??
It was a choice of becoming a Nutritarian or a life on Metformin. I am thinking this is the way.
Dr. Fuhrman, my wife and I have been nutritarian for close to 15 years, in our early 70s, exercise regularly, ideal weight, and doing great. The diet is perfect for me because I was always prone to constipation before I got on this diet. My wife, however, has always had the opposite problem of being “too loose”. Instead of “more fiber”, my wife is hoping to find some nutritious food that is “more binding”. What would you suggest? (Sorry to say, this is becoming a more serious problem for her as time goes by.) Thank you!
Have you listened to or read Dr. Bulseiwicz, plant based GI doc? Also, has your wife seen a gastroenterologist in person within the last few years? Has she had a colonoscopy?
@@sectionalsofa Thank you. I never heard of that doctor. Do you have a link?
@@flyshacker From my experience, TH-cam will not post links, but if you google Dr. Will Bulsiewicz or his book Fiber Fueled or go to The Exam Room Podcast and look for Dr. Bulsiewicz you will find many of his videos.
One of the many of Dr. B videos th-cam.com/video/-a5ySlyjTHg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RA0xnACCoYAHsBOc
Congratulations on your 15-year nutritarian journey! It's wonderful to hear about your health improvements. For your wife's issue, consider adjusting the balance of cooked vs. raw vegetables, or incorporating more cooked leafy greens and squashes. Chia seeds soaked in water can also help. Remember, staying hydrated is crucial.
If the problem persists, it may be wise to consult with a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation.
What is the data on diabetics who get cancer?
It's bad because unfortunately most follow the myths and assumptions of 150 years ago and eat carnivore/keto and run high insulin levels.
Thank you for this wonderful and informative podcast. I will strongly recommend this to my patients, I may have to help with translation as not everyone speaks English very well. Dear dr. Fuhrman, I also recommend your G-Bombs. Greetings from Germany
Dr. Paul Saladino advocates eating raw unfiltered honey which doesn't make sense for diabetics in that honey has high glycemic load
In 2016 TH-cam introduced me to dr joel and dr mcdougal!!
Their teachings changed my life
And as someone born and raised in rural Africa
It was very easy for me because
Growing up we couldn't afford animal products
We ate mostly sweet and irish potatoes(which i dont peel and eat with skins)
I hope to live sickness free and peacefully die like dr john mcdougall
I had heard that dr. Mcdougal had passed away. Is that true. I didnt think he was that old. How old was he.
@@icecreamladydriver1606
He wasn’t that old,but I heard he was very sick a long time ago,which inspired him to pursue his healthy lifestyle.
I would think by now that his daughter would know enough to have a more meaningful conversation after growing up ‘fuhrman. Keep teaching Dr… the world needs to hear what you’re teaching.
I imagine her questions are for the benefits of us, the audience.
Apples, dates, walnuts...mmmm😊
this is crazy news bc I have been doing IF since January and lost weight!70 and still losing however😢 my a1c is still high. so i’m doing all meat🥹and m blood sugars have dropped
Have you tried the nutratarion diet yet?
Thanks
Great message and info.
Jenna doesn’t need to say “fricken” as an adjective as emphasis please.
I appreciate that Dr. Fuhrman has learned to speak more slowly. It helps tremendously in hearing and understanding this healthy nutrition education.
Thank you so much for this podcast.
Jenna asks excellent questions to help people better understand these concepts.
Agree “ fricken” is for teenagers who have a limited vocabulary
Is Dr. Furman taking new patients?
Being x-rayed (even at the dentist) when pregnant, can also cause brain cancer in a baby, even if you’re wearing one of those protective aprons.
Can I have a small portion of fish with this way of eating.
You can, but you don't need to.
That's why I never took the mediformen....I just changed my diet. ...
Dr Furman, what do u think about Ozempic???
no fats the problem not sugar
........ And I'm here with my frog D2 and her Pollywog 🐛

Junior is like totally 😂🎉
Why you say that fruitarian diet is bad but you eat a lot of veg that are lower in calories, and too much veg is also unhealthy as eating too low veg
I learning here
What a crock of whooooeeee. You don’t want to trip insulin don’t eat grains and beans. Too many carbs. Same with high glycemic fruits and veggies. Insulin bombs.
Geez … added oil to food doesn’t get stored into your bloodstream. More bunk.
I've been on Keto for 6 years now, you don't need carbs for energy the body can convert fat, and you don't need fiber, so eat lots of fat, butter and olive oil, and you will not get diabetes.
Read EAT TO LIVE
You don't understand how diabetes comes about. Your diet will likely be making you more insulin resistant once you are inevitably forced to eat properly again. You are damaging your body. Never lose sight of the fact that the longest lived most healthy populations on the planet eat mostly plants and fruit and next to no meat, eggs, fish or dairy. If you want to learn a little bit of the actual science you could begin with this th-cam.com/video/d14PhGWDV6c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QlnfowGgfS73IHlJ
I eat a high carb low fat diet and it controls my T2 diabetes. Once in a while I can enjoy a fatty steak with no ill effect on blood sugar. Keto and carnivore folks do admit that after fat adaptation eating a plate of fruit spikes their glucose very high. Seems that keto carnivore doesn't solve diabetes just covers it up.
Ketones feed the brain as well as glucose. Or better.
What exactly are ketones?
Uff immigrants maintain your cultural identity and heritage esp how your ancestors ate
All that glitters is not gold
Take the good leave the bad
Abusing your body by putting “good looking” food that will cause diabetes and cancer doesn’t make any sense
Heal thyself 😊
The body uses Keto’s to run on too, not just sugar (glucose) I think you need to correct what you said.
Clark Helen Lopez Maria White Timothy
Wrong, ketones are an alternative/ supportive fuel for the brain....in case of fasting neurons can oxidize ketone bodies produced in the liver from fatty acids.
No you have been duped. Not sustainable and massively damaging to the body. If you would like to start a journey of education in real biochemistry this might help th-cam.com/video/d14PhGWDV6c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QlnfowGgfS73IHlJ
Lots of words no info😠
This is wrong. How can eating animal fat something we have been eating for millions of years, going to all of a sudden damage our insulin receptors 😅 . The toxic fat from seed oils is really the culprit to blame
🌹
Wow, what misinformation you lay out I've been diabetic for 25 years and I had high blood pressure at the same time. I was a vegan and I could not control my diabetes. I found the carnivore diet on March 22, 2024 was the last time I ate a carbohydrate and I will never eat another carbohydrate. My brain does not need a carbohydrate to function, I only eat steak butter eggs now and then a little salmon or lamb. I've no longer have type two diabetes. My A1c is now 5.4 so you're putting out a lot of misinformation. I don't know where you got your medical degree, but you gotta turn it back in
You could have been a vegan swiming in saturated fats…and what degree do you have😂 be nicer please, the world would appreciate❤
Dr. Fuhrman is correct. There is a lot of research behind what he says. Read the book "How Not to Age." The carnivore diet may reduce A1C in the short run, but it will increase the risk of heart disease or cancer in the long run.
Hmm! Carnivore 4 months - now an expert - come back in 11 years -,give results if you want someone to listen to you - better yet 20 yrs😊
And you're right dishonest people keep listening to Furham he is going to kill you meat butter and eggs grass feed of course wow
Can you tell us what to eat and not all the what's going on.
This is the 2nd video back to back I've watched tonight. I feel like I must have been living on a different planet than you have. At least you did mention that there are nefarious agendas that are poisoning our food and drink along with everything else that we need on this planet to survive. If what you have said as in a medical book were in fact the only invaders or the only situations that cause our early demise we might be able to accomplish your goals for good health and reversing diabetes wouldn't that be wonderful. Unfortunately we do not live on the corner of perfect. No mention was made of contaminated poisonous meds, intentional by the way, including the many vaccines that are pushed into us not just from birth as I've recently found out, but even when we are in the womb now. And it doesn't seem that is worth mention towards mortality? That's a subject for another time, but the qualifications you say that will cause diabetes isn't even the only cause. My son is a perfect example of being totally opposite to what you have said. So many things that you've said on this video haven't even been heard of in the world I live in!? And I assure you that most Drs are not informing their patients what you are saying. So is it any wonder then that when people do not get the correct information from the so called Dr being paid by us to properly inform and treat our health issues and being paid by a few freaks that think they own the world and us in it, they seem to take sides with the better paying and convincing side!? Why aren't you going around the country to present the scientific data and study results to we the people? Now I am mad that you have known these things and yet no one I know has ever mentioned any of them!? My son deserves better than this! By the way we live in Kansas in case want to come and help us and many others that are dealing with everything we are!? It would have been a great listen to otherwise! But my son won't believe me and it's going to be hard for even a health care provider bc he's heard all his life that type 1 diabetes is incurable so his mindset is just that. Well I know a man named Jesus who came here and died for all our sins in order that we would choose to live a life for him and not go to hell. He has a father who knows everything and he says that you are all wrong about life and death. He is the Alpha and Omega and there are people who are telling the truth about diseases, they have been created by evil men!😂
Oh I didn't mean that I've watched you twice, i watched another expert deliver basically the same info but much more foreign to what we've been brought up believing yet he's from a different religious background if that makes a difference?
36:31 Don't blame the Doctor and his daughter.No one is responsible for your health but you.Telling him he knows all this but doesn't tell the world is utter nonsense.
There's nothing wrong with eating meat and dairy. Carnivores seem to be healthy.
Only big problem is raised LDL too high and causing stroke !
Read EAT TO LIVE if you really want to better understand the issue.
There are many things wrong with it especially dairy

He used to be an Olympic skater and believes(according to medical research)being underweight is healthier for us,especially the older we get.
They are both super healthy.
@@Cynthia-s2p Are you sure about that or is that just what you assume in the plant-based diet bubble?
TLDR… Here are the foods:
Greens
Beans
Onions
Mushrooms
Berries
Seeds
Quinoa, carrots, sweet potato moderate amount
Veg bean soup for lunch
It’s detrimental to NOT eat berries regardless of sugar content.
Just eat meat.
