No one can truly be happy being overweight & having fat in places that make it difficult to move, breathe, sleep, or live! Fat is the word! It is a serious problem and the chemicals in our food don't help the food addiction problem. I love this man! He is honest and passionate about educating the masses! Thank you Chef AJ! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰🥰🥰🥰
I found Dr. McDougall randomly. I was eating potatoes every night and really enjoying it, not gaining weight (in maintenance 3 years). I began researching veg diets and found him. I remember thinking, “Wow there’s actually an eating plan for potatoes?! I’m in.” ❤️❤️
I’m of Mayan decent and I’ve gone back to my mother country and the poor eat mostly corn dishes. It’s filling cheap and saves people for starvation. They are 2 twice as healthy as I am. This lecture just makes sense. I’ve seen this with my own eyes.
@TheThundercat718 I had a total of 135 lbs to lose, so I was very out of shape. I still have 95 lbs to reach my goal. I started walking 5 minutes a day, and now I'm up to one hour. I eat fruit and spinach smoothies with a little oatmeal and sometimes peanut butter for breakfast and sometimes lunch, too. I eat a giant salad for dinner. I started incorporating noodles, rice, and bread over the last month. I've only lost 10 lbs since doing that but i was getting bored with my food choices. I'm now starting to go to the gym 30 minutes 3 times a week to get stronger. I'm hoping this all sticks as a new healthy lifestyle.
I've been a McDougaller for over 25 years. Thank you, Dr. and Mary McDougall for your consistent work and the help it brings to so many of us, and now bringing awareness for our planet. I believe that changing my diet to your plan six months before a stage 3 breast cancer Dx saved my life and continues to bring me good health into my late sixties.
White rice has a healthy omega 6 to omega 3 ratio while brown rice does not have a healthy ratio. Beans and potatoes have a good ratio but many nuts and seeds other than walnuts and flaxseed have an unhealthy ratio. This is where McDougall shines over Fuhrman. Fuhrman shines over McDougall by stressing the cancer healing advantages of foods such as berries, greens, broccoli, mushrooms, celery, and carrots.
@Laura Long Will try and re look at the McDougall book. Have also had the cancer, twice. Diet was a major factor in helping; did much better than the average and than expected. Glad to see what you wrote.

Dr McDoughall brings up a good point. There is a good diet for every animal. Imagine taking a diet that is meant for dolphins and feeding it to insects? We wouldn’t dream of feeding our beloved pets candy bars, caramels, cookies, oil and butter, but many don’t think twice about consuming this for ourselves. I didn’t recognize the connection between food and health for many years. Most people I talk with don’t either and say it’s all genetics. They would rather take medication than change their food intake.
OMG! 💕💕💕 I ALWAYS receive so much priceless information from Dr. McDougal and his amazing life partner, friend & wife, Mary. I am feeling so blessed for these gifts of the wisdom shared by these two dedicated & loving human beings. Chef AJ, you are a true gem! We all appreciate YOUR dedication in shining YOUR divine light on such important people & the simple truths of life. You are loved and appreciated and celebrated more than you will ever know. 💕🥰💕

Ann and Jane Esslysten also cook SOS often. Dr Esslysten said at autopsy the arteries of olive oil vegans look like arteries of meat eater. The ultimate"lab test" is autopsy 👻💀
What a great discussion! I never get tired of listening to this man. I would really love an episode that is centred around bread and bread-like foods such as Injera, etc. I always wonder if bread has gotten the same kind of bad press as potatoes and that it depends on how the bread is made and consumed...
real bread, real potatoes at themselves are not unhealthy... it is what we do with them. go to a whole foods store and get the most "whole grain" version of bread. Eat it with natural foods... plants, not too much fat, but also not too little fat! I think "as low fat as possible" is dangerous... but i am all on board for plant based eating!
Thank you Chef AJ, Dr McDougall and Mary, this has been another fantastic, informative discussion. It’s incredibly generous of the three of you to give your time and provide all of this information in such an interesting and entertaining way. Much appreciation for all the work involved in preparing your lectures, I could listen to you all day. Lovely to meet Esther! 🙏
If it works for you, go for it. I suspect we aren't all alike. There are limitations to calorie-counting diets. There are limitations to time-restricted eating diets. There are limitations to carbohydrate-restriction diets . Whatever works best for you personally, go for it.
Keto made me sick. (TMI warning).... when I would go number 2.... it looked like whole solid food. Whole greens. Whole meat. Nothing digested. It was bizarre. I lost weight fast. But I was weak. My friend tho does great on carnivore! Beef and salt! Occasionally fruit or greens to "cheat"
This made me cry... how the doctors could send their relatives to Dr. McDougall but not send any patients... What a thoroughly vile thing to do... the other doctors knew that Dr. McDougall could save the patients lives through health, BUT chose not to help the patients and kept them to themselves.
I didn’t find this convincing. Yes, it seems obvious that humans historically ate starch, and even more obvious we historically ate meat. We were driven by the need to survive, not ideology. Why deny that and pretend that a healthy diet omits the meat? Having said that, congratulations to the people who have lost weight on the starch diet. Excluding the processed foods of the modern world is the single best thing we can do for our health.
Lol!! Dr. McDougall is so witty and funny too. Love this. Thank you, Doctor, I much appreciate this so much, and very much needed to hear right now. I am with you.
I had gastroparesis almost all my life. Only times I did not was when I was eating only plants or when I at least as thoroughly as possible separated all animal products from all high starch and/or sweet foods. Fit for Life advice helped me go from taking 16 HCI tablets and barely feeling a burn to not needing any and digesting just fine. It also helped me to realize that it is so much easier to eat just plant-based. When I did that, I had regular bathroom times. I had met people who would say things to me like "I do want to go on a walk with you but let's do it after 9 a.m. because that's when I'll need to use the restroom." and I was so weirded out. Well, just eating plant-based foods or even mostly eating only that, I was one of those people! And, there was no pain or shame in the process!
Chef AJ, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this nice long video with Dr. McDougall and Esther! Thankyou thankyou so much.... Christmas has come early!
Dr. McDougall don’t ever apologize for offending people with the word fat. Coddling doesn’t ever do anyone any favors. It’s better to know that your doctor is being straightforward and honest with you than sugarcoating information. Could sugarcoating doctors be part of the problem?
@@jgrysiak6566 Now that is rude! You don't just ask someone if they gained weight 😬. There is a BIG difference between using the word "Fat" and asking someone if they gained weight.
I am tired of being 'pleasantly plump'! I keep trying ... for years. I am hoping that I can stick to it this time around. I tried to get accepted into the Ornish program but wasn't sick enough for Medicare. So enjoy the McDougall's! Thank you Chef AJ!
This was excellent! I enjoyed every minute of it. Dr M is brilliant and his marriage is an inspiration. Mary is beautiful and I can’t wait to do the bean pizza. Thank you Chef AJ for everything you do.
Thank you Dr Mcdoughal so simple i don't know why i couldn't see it till you made it so clear and bless you for call Fat Vegans earth changers because i felt so stupid being a fat vegan and felt guilty about not being a visual symbol of how healthy it was. I was one of the ones who has all the information all the books followed you and AJ for ever and yet couldn't lose. Now i finally get it god willing i will keep my hand out of the nut jar and away from food like sustances

Always lots of information A.J. - Dr McDougall always has lots to offer. I love the way he encourages us to have confidence in our bodies, that the evolution of food and our bodies are actually in sync. This is a powerful idea because nature has provided for us despite the processed food industry making us think otherwise.
I’m still not understanding, why no salt? I don’t care about meat, dairy or seafood, I can give up oil as well but if you do not take salt out with this diet, will you not lose weight?
I respect most of what he’s saying, but at one point he makes it clear that if you drastically overeat carbohydrates/sugar, your body will burn the extra calories by increasing your basal metabolism (around 34:00) and you will have a really hard time ever gaining weight. Later in the lecture he says that drinking fruit juice or eating dried fruits is bad because “calories count” and it’s one of the things that “fat vegans” fall victim to, as it will make you gain weight (1:14:30). Make it make sense.
Thank you dear friends from the other side of the world !!!! What a lovely and then lightening zoom lecture, and I’ve heard John McDougall hundreds of times!! Probably one of the most complete and comprehensive one ever, thank you so much and lots of love
THANKYOU for the weight charts. It took two years for friends and co-workers to accept I do not have cancer recurrence….. I’m just healthy 😍 not wasting away.
Plants are so amazing for the human body! Don't listen to the devil, he lies, kills and destroys lives. My grandma cooked like this and my mom still does. Always, rice and beans and corn and bread, potatoes etc. Thank you Dr. M for seeking the truth and spreading it boldly! God bless you!
AMAZING!! ESTHER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY, AND YOUR UNLAYERING WAS SUPER MOTIVATIONAL!! Currently just started the Starch Solution, again, my body does not do well with Solanine in regular white potato, and corn and gluten aren't my friends neither.. I've tried two times for full months to wake up feeling more crippled. So sweet potato is my alternative. I'm currently skinny challenged. 5'7.5 @180. Surgical menopause from uterine cancer I had for longer than known. Congenital hypothyroid, hashimotos, Mononucleosis, insomnia, pre- diabetes, autoimmune issues, excema on finger tips. I've tried raw vegan, it helps, except winter is too hard, I love having hot satisfying food when its cold out. Raw only isn't sustainable for me. Evolution...is a theory!!! And only a theory! I was created from creator, I do not come from monkey/ape. Man's theory Science is not my master creator. Yahuah is ONE!!
Thank you so much Chef AJ for all the work you do and also thank you so much Dr. McDougall for all the work you do. A lot of people are learning and our extremely grateful blessings of peace and joy sent your way
The one “diet “ I’ve never tried is plant based. Overweight tired of myself, his presentation was powerful, but it’s completely against everything I’ve ever been taught so here’s to my journey of relearning ! Ty for this video
I went vegan a week ago. I've gained 4lbs in that week. All I eat for breakfast is Oat groats and fruit with Oat milk. Dinner I eat a starch like potatoes or beans or rice with veggies. I do not cheat. I do not eat nuts or avacados .. I don't understand why I'm not losing weight or at least maintaining my weight I was at. This is why I went back to eating meat the first time I tried going vegan...I do not want to be fat. Sigh.. I'm wondering if it's because all I ate prior to this was meat and veggies.. and I only ate dinner then. I heard something about people gaining if they were on a low carb diet.. I'm diabetic too though so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. It's so frustrating.
Because vegan is a pretty poor diet. I just was accidentally watching this video, I would seriously reconsider eating like this. High carb is backwards for health/longevity, hormones weight loss focus on protein / moderate fat
Too many calories. Measure your food properly. Oats are pretty dense in calories, oat milk can be too. Beans and rice can add up in calories pretty quickly. You really have to measure them properly. Also, it's a week, that's not enough time to lose weight. You're eating carb rich foods, which will cause you to have more water retention. This isn't weight, but it will show as weight gain on your scales. Once you start eating more carbs, you will naturally put on water weight more easily. I recommend weighing yourself after waking up, same time every day, when your body hasn't eaten or drank for at least 7 hours. Don't eat or drink before weighing yourself. This will give the most accurate results. If you're a woman, your menstrual cycle will affect your weight too. You will gain weight and lose it throughout your cycle. When I started WFPB, it took me ten days to notice any actual weight loss. You need to give it more time, a week is not long enough, putting on 4lbs is not a concern if you are truly in a calorie deficit. It will be a fluctuation or muscle gain. The general rule for any diet, including this one, is to give it at least 4 weeks of consistent weigh ins before you decide it isn't working. Human body takes a while to adapt to new diets. As for diabetes, I am not experienced in this, but you should find a good plant based nutritionist or doctor to give you advice on this. As far as I'm aware, wholefood carbs are generally safe for diabetics but you may have to reduce your fruit intake. Again, not experienced in diabetes, you should definitely see a doctor before you make any dietary changes. Your doctor will be able to give you more personalized advice for your specific body.
My great great great grandpa died young from impacted gallstones. Lived in Ireland Scotland and Isle of Man. From what I can see they are a lot of fish. Oats. And soda bread.
This is wonderful of course but that last joke on becoming nuts was so witty and fun, made me laugh out loud and startled my dogs! I l so appreciate you two and the support teams!
Thank you for this testimonial. She is such an inspiration! Ms. Esther lets me know that my weight loss goal is more than achievable! Then hearing about her husband is even more incredible!
I love the Adventist hospitals. Unfortunately, they've changed over the years so those packets of seasoning were not SDA recommended and that's due to a mixture of doctors in their hospitals who do not follow the book. One thing I can say about them (religious & diet wise), they follow the Book - well....some of them do. As a group they've always been named the "People of the Book." I have learned a lot from them and that's where my journey began. Glorifying God in our body also means feeding our temple as He prescribed. I love it! We Christians are so fat & sick today because we believe we can eat outside of God's word with no consequences. It ain't working!
Dr McDougal you are amazing! The misinformation in diet culture is terrifying! I have been led my whole life to believe carbs are “bad” and the reason for weight gain. Yet any form of potato is my favorite food! I’ve always used potatoes as my “cheat” meal. Thank you for spreading this information to the world 🌍 you are loved and appreciated more than you know 🤍🤍🤍
Amazing! How did humans survive until the development of agriculture, thankfully we can do that now by eating starch! I shudder to think of the tens of thousands of years that people had to struggle to survive before this guy came along to show the way! I do have a question though, how is it that diabetes, obesity and heart disease were so rare a hundred years ago and now our only hope is to eat potatoes and rice? Yeah, great grandmother ate potatoes, but she ate lots of other things like steak and chicken and ham and bacon and butter, but she was muscular and thin and died at 102?
Ladies, I reduced my fat to a minimal amount and I started getting premature hot flashes and my period went away. I don't think he realizes that women are different.
I have found the only way to keep the weight off long term is to eat a high-carb diet. Any time I try to eat something like nuts, I am left feeling hungry because I've taken away alot of my calorie budget for the day (1500 calories), and I'd rather be eating things like fruit, chia seeds, etc., all of which have alot less caloric density. You have to really watch nuts and oils because they contribute very little to a feeling of satiety but they pack alot of calories. When I was a kid, nuts were rare and we really only ate them at holidays. Now many people are eating nuts as a "superfood".
Chef AJ, what do you use as a moisturizer on your face & body? I'm guessing it has "no oil" in it? That said, the no oil on the skin is the one area where Dr. Esselstyn differs from Dr. McDougall - When asked the same question Dr. Esselstyn said oil topically was ok. Dr. Brooke Goldner has said coconut oil is all she uses to moisturize her face & body. Thank you once again for a fantastic interview!
On the old website there was a free programm that you could click through to get the info, to get you started. I had a look at the current website and it doesn't seem to be there anymore, unfortunatey. But still, all the info is there, just have a good look at all the articles, etc. :)
I am pre-diabetic and my physician told me to cut back on starch and eat more protein. That is all fair and dandy but tofu and tempeh are higher fat foods (and they are processed foods), so I am not really sure what to do. Anyone out there who is in the same predicament?
I actually looked online quite a bit re Clint Eastwood's diet- turns out he won't eat red meat or dairy, he does eat fish but he limits his fat intake and isnt scared of starch!!!! There you go- limit fat and you stay thin- another fine example!!!!!! (Sad for the fish though!)
My health and fitness coach told me although McDougall has great methods to lose weight and obtain overall health, his diet lacks protein for someone training to increase muscle 💪

You are right. I can speak for myself. It’s hard loosing than it is gaining.

THANKYOU for the weight charts. It took two years for friends and co-workers to accept I do not have cancer recurrence….. I’m just healthy 😍 not wasting away.
That's fantastic!
This was one of my most favorite presentations by Dr. M. I'm sharing with many friends!
My 27 yr old step-daughter got Breast Cancer 🎀.
Glad she got a mammogram.
Plants are so amazing for the human body! Don't listen to the devil, he lies, kills and destroys lives. My grandma cooked like this and my mom still does. Always, rice and beans and corn and bread, potatoes etc. Thank you Dr. M for seeking the truth and spreading it boldly! God bless you!
How can you tell if it’s the devil talking to you?
@@davidr1431 Because the devil will lead you to hurt yourself in many ways and others.

AMAZING!! ESTHER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY, AND YOUR UNLAYERING WAS SUPER MOTIVATIONAL!!
Currently just started the Starch Solution, again, my body does not do well with Solanine in regular white potato, and corn and gluten aren't my friends neither.. I've tried two times for full months to wake up feeling more crippled. So sweet potato is my alternative. I'm currently skinny challenged. 5'7.5 @180. Surgical menopause from uterine cancer I had for longer than known. Congenital hypothyroid, hashimotos, Mononucleosis, insomnia, pre- diabetes, autoimmune issues, excema on finger tips.
I've tried raw vegan, it helps, except winter is too hard, I love having hot satisfying food when its cold out. Raw only isn't sustainable for me.
Evolution...is a theory!!! And only a theory! I was created from creator, I do not come from monkey/ape. Man's theory Science is not my master creator. Yahuah is ONE!!
I'm getting back on the program. I truly love dr mcdougall.
Thank you so much Chef AJ for all the work you do and also thank you so much Dr. McDougall for all the work you do. A lot of people are learning and our extremely grateful blessings of peace and joy sent your way
The one “diet “ I’ve never tried is plant based. Overweight tired of myself, his presentation was powerful, but it’s completely against everything I’ve ever been taught so here’s to my journey of relearning ! Ty for this video
I hope you try it! Good luck.
@@Chillman742 I’m on day 3-and feeling pretty good.
Try South Indian cuisine for delicious vegan dishes . You will love them.
Thank you for this amazing lecture. It’s the best explanation of the benefits of a Starch based diet I’ve ever heard. I’ll definitely be sharing it.
I went vegan a week ago. I've gained 4lbs in that week. All I eat for breakfast is Oat groats and fruit with Oat milk. Dinner I eat a starch like potatoes or beans or rice with veggies. I do not cheat. I do not eat nuts or avacados .. I don't understand why I'm not losing weight or at least maintaining my weight I was at. This is why I went back to eating meat the first time I tried going vegan...I do not want to be fat. Sigh.. I'm wondering if it's because all I ate prior to this was meat and veggies.. and I only ate dinner then. I heard something about people gaining if they were on a low carb diet.. I'm diabetic too though so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. It's so frustrating.
Insulin resistant
Because vegan is a pretty poor diet. I just was accidentally watching this video, I would seriously reconsider eating like this. High carb is backwards for health/longevity, hormones weight loss
focus on protein / moderate fat
Too many calories. Measure your food properly. Oats are pretty dense in calories, oat milk can be too. Beans and rice can add up in calories pretty quickly. You really have to measure them properly. Also, it's a week, that's not enough time to lose weight. You're eating carb rich foods, which will cause you to have more water retention. This isn't weight, but it will show as weight gain on your scales.
Once you start eating more carbs, you will naturally put on water weight more easily. I recommend weighing yourself after waking up, same time every day, when your body hasn't eaten or drank for at least 7 hours. Don't eat or drink before weighing yourself. This will give the most accurate results. If you're a woman, your menstrual cycle will affect your weight too. You will gain weight and lose it throughout your cycle.
When I started WFPB, it took me ten days to notice any actual weight loss. You need to give it more time, a week is not long enough, putting on 4lbs is not a concern if you are truly in a calorie deficit. It will be a fluctuation or muscle gain. The general rule for any diet, including this one, is to give it at least 4 weeks of consistent weigh ins before you decide it isn't working. Human body takes a while to adapt to new diets.
As for diabetes, I am not experienced in this, but you should find a good plant based nutritionist or doctor to give you advice on this. As far as I'm aware, wholefood carbs are generally safe for diabetics but you may have to reduce your fruit intake. Again, not experienced in diabetes, you should definitely see a doctor before you make any dietary changes. Your doctor will be able to give you more personalized advice for your specific body.
Sending love from israel! ❤
Thank you so much for all of you for the important information!
My great great great grandpa died young from impacted gallstones. Lived in Ireland Scotland and Isle of Man. From what I can see they are a lot of fish. Oats. And soda bread.
This is wonderful of course but that last joke on becoming nuts was so witty and fun, made me laugh out loud and startled my dogs! I l so appreciate you two and the support teams!
Thank you!
Starch is the only thing I've found that kills my appetite. Salt fat and sugar are absolutely addictive
So true!
Great episode as always. I always learn something from him and Mary too. Chef AJ you are a great host.
Thank you!
Thank you for this testimonial. She is such an inspiration! Ms. Esther lets me know that my weight loss goal is more than achievable! Then hearing about her husband is even more incredible!
Thank you AJ for sharing this awesome 👌 👏 👍 presentation on eating healthy 😀 👏 👍
She married you for your WISDOM
Plus humor
Plus candor
I love the Adventist hospitals. Unfortunately, they've changed over the years so those packets of seasoning were not SDA recommended and that's due to a mixture of doctors in their hospitals who do not follow the book. One thing I can say about them (religious & diet wise), they follow the Book - well....some of them do. As a group they've always been named the "People of the Book." I have learned a lot from them and that's where my journey began. Glorifying God in our body also means feeding our temple as He prescribed. I love it! We Christians are so fat & sick today because we believe we can eat outside of God's word with no consequences. It ain't working!
Dr McDougal you are amazing! The misinformation in diet culture is terrifying! I have been led my whole life to believe carbs are “bad” and the reason for weight gain. Yet any form of potato is my favorite food! I’ve always used potatoes as my “cheat” meal. Thank you for spreading this information to the world 🌍 you are loved and appreciated more than you know 🤍🤍🤍
I will never tire of listening to him, no matter how much I hear things on repeat!💗 what a wise man, and I love how simple he makes it!
Amazing! How did humans survive until the development of agriculture, thankfully we can do that now by eating starch! I shudder to think of the tens of thousands of years that people had to struggle to survive before this guy came along to show the way! I do have a question though, how is it that diabetes, obesity and heart disease were so rare a hundred years ago and now our only hope is to eat potatoes and rice? Yeah, great grandmother ate potatoes, but she ate lots of other things like steak and chicken and ham and bacon and butter, but she was muscular and thin and died at 102?
Our grandparents didn’t have meat every day. Read the Little House books 😊 Meat was a treat. They often ate cornmeal and other grains.
The also didn't have so many processed foods and beverages.
Dr McDougall says a couple times in the video that the 12-day online program is free, but when I look on his website, it says it’s $2,995.
No it is not free. He does however, have a multitude of free resources on his website for anyone who wants to follow his plan.
$3,000!?!?
I was thinking the same thing. 25:41 he does say as a free program and that you don’t have to pay for anything
I thought that the paid course was interactive with one to one Zoom sessions, but that there was a non interactive 12 day programme that is free?
Ladies, I reduced my fat to a minimal amount and I started getting premature hot flashes and my period went away. I don't think he realizes that women are different.
On the other hand, I had no hot flashes. Didn't start to turn gray until 60.
I sure appreciate the McDougal's they are so AWESOME AND AMAZING AND so full of AWESOME AND AMAZING INFORMATION 🙂
I have found the only way to keep the weight off long term is to eat a high-carb diet. Any time I try to eat something like nuts, I am left feeling hungry because I've taken away alot of my calorie budget for the day (1500 calories), and I'd rather be eating things like fruit, chia seeds, etc., all of which have alot less caloric density.
You have to really watch nuts and oils because they contribute very little to a feeling of satiety but they pack alot of calories. When I was a kid, nuts were rare and we really only ate them at holidays. Now many people are eating nuts as a "superfood".
Out of curiosity, why are you eating so few calories?
@@karlhungus5554 That's the only way I've found I can lose weight. 1500 calories isn't that low.
@@Magnulus76 You don't think 1,500 calories is low? Okay, maybe it's just me. Out of curiosity, what's your BMR?
@@karlhungus5554 1500 calories isn't too low if you are trying to lose weight.
My BMR is about 1500.
@@Magnulus76 Understood. I wish you continued success.
Chef AJ, what do you use as a moisturizer on your face & body? I'm guessing it has "no oil" in it? That said, the no oil on the skin is the one area where Dr. Esselstyn differs from Dr. McDougall - When asked the same question Dr. Esselstyn said oil topically was ok. Dr. Brooke Goldner has said coconut oil is all she uses to moisturize her face & body. Thank you once again for a fantastic interview!
I use Body Deli face wash and Kaelen Harwell peach body lotion.
just Love mashed totties with beans, great speech
Great presentation! Love this!
Thanks, Chef AJ for another great interview!!
You are beautiful people.,
It’s sad, people not aware about you.
I want a say Thank you ( I know it’s not enough)
🇹🇷❤️
Thank you!
Just wonderful Chef AJ 🥰
All very well but what about blood sugar levels? We know high carbs consumption cause blood sugar spikes, can you comment please?
As I recall, I believe that Clint Eastwood follows Paul Bragg's plan...as Jack Lalanne did.
Had to come back and catch the first hour I had missed in the live session.
Dr. McDougall keep on saying his 12 days program is free. I just checked it out and it's not. It's $2,995 for the program!
Their website has everything available for free for you to read about the McDougal plan. You can access and follow on your own for free.
I cant find it either ...
On the old website there was a free programm that you could click through to get the info, to get you started. I had a look at the current website and it doesn't seem to be there anymore, unfortunatey. But still, all the info is there, just have a good look at all the articles, etc. :)
$2000+ is that just on-line or is that to go to the center?
He didn't say his 12 day program is free. There are numerous resources available on his website for anyone to follow his program, and those are free.
LOVE DR MCDOUGALL AND MARY MCDOUGAL THEY ARE SO AWESOME AND AMAZING
The slides are awesome in this video. Dr. McDougall is the best. Thank you!
Love this video! McDougall explains it all! 😄
So good example and its truly an easy and tasty and very wonderfull and balanced way of eating - I love it. 🎶🍀🎵💚
❤so wonderful to listen! Thank U!
Meeting this lovely couple is on my bucket list
Excellent!! Can’t wait to try it.
O negative is the universal blood. O positive can only give to blood types that are positive.
12:15 I think "Well Rounded" is also a term to describe, that someone had a complete education, isn't it?
I am pre-diabetic and my physician told me to cut back on starch and eat more protein. That is all fair and dandy but tofu and tempeh are higher fat foods (and they are processed foods), so I am not really sure what to do. Anyone out there who is in the same predicament?
I actually looked online quite a bit re Clint Eastwood's diet- turns out he won't eat red meat or dairy, he does eat fish but he limits his fat intake and isnt scared of starch!!!!
There you go- limit fat and you stay thin- another fine example!!!!!! (Sad for the fish though!)
Just ordered dr. Mcdougall book 📖 thank you 😊
Bravo za ljude! Nema boljih.
This is worth its weight in gold!!!
love you Esther. also Dr McDougall and Chef AJ.
Dy Ann Parnham is the best!!
My health and fitness coach told me although McDougall has great methods to lose weight and obtain overall health, his diet lacks protein for someone training to increase muscle 💪
I will suggest you watch the movie "Game Changer" which completely destroys that idea!
Agreed. Stay away from drs . . .after $1000s. . . Wholistic drs push oils
