      As a "cooked" vegan, I've held the raw diet in disdain for about a decade. I recently gave it a 6 week shot and it's been transformative. I've had to really eat humble lettuce. The postive impact on my health and weight has been as intense as the shift from the carnist to vegan.

    Yeah, I started doing calorie restriction or fasting in early 2020, because my doctor told me that I was prediabetic. I lost 92 pounds in 18 months. I lowered my blood sugar and got out of the prediabetic zone! I also ended up feeling really good about myself. I thought that I would be fat all my life and I was happy to achieve a healthy weight according to BMI. I think that if more doctors or health care professionals told people about calorie restriction and what their healthy BMI weight is then a lot of people would be more focused on maintaining a healthy weight, diet, nutrition and exercise.

    I suffered with regular (twice weekly) migraines for 10 years. Switched to organic plant based oil free after 5 years of suffering and it didn’t stop them or decrease them. Last year I also started intermittent fasting, and they were reduced to once per month immediately. After about 3 months I added a probiotic and fermented foods daily, and now they’re happening even less. Looking back they began around the time I was suffering with tonsillitis, and I was given antibiotics over a period of about a year. I think they damaged my gut and the fasting plus the addition of good bacteria from probiotics and fermented foods has helped my gut to heal. I should add that over the years I did several extended fasts of 2-3 days, and they did nothing for the migraines.

    What you call intermittent fasting today comes from ayurveda. " one meal a day for the yogi, two meals a day for the bhogi( or one who wants to enjoy life), and three meals a day for the rogi( one who is suffering from disease). No food after sundown. Long fasting periodically depending on your body and lifestyle- ekadashi fasts( 36 hrs fast every 14 days)/ navratri fasts ( 9 day water fast twice a year, or 4 times a year before change in seasons), 24 hr fasts once or twice a year.

    I think it's interesting if the low occurrence of cancers in middle east could be connected to their regular fasting (ramadan). I've heard studies were also made back in ussr on christian orthodox fasting and its relation to cancer but haven't found any. Lots of the interesting science they made might have been lost or could be sitting somewhere in archives. It's particularly interesting because people in middle east are not thinnert than elsewhere so if fasting itself could provide health benefits regardless of weight loss.

      You're already starving yourself from 15 essential nutrients by not eating animals. Your intuition is correct, fasting/starving yourself is not healthy and shouldn't be done, especially when already starving yourself on a vegan diet. You can continue to trust a man who looks like a living corpse for nutrional advice or you can try trusting your own eyes. Look up "vegans the Epitome of Malnourished" series. Keep an open mind, you're on this journey for your health and the health of those you care about.

    I'd like to know to what charities do you give the proceedings from your books. Is it third party charities or charities founded by you related to health treatments?
    I wish it was the latter and that these charities would be health resorts, with fasting treatments and plant-based education such as True North Health Centre. Places such as this should be multiplied and treatments made free for those who can't afford the fees. As is it is, these life -saving treatments are only a dream to the majority of people and I consider them an elite's priviledge.
    I have been wanting to be treated at True North for a long time but my financial situation does not permit me to. I bought all your books and their books but what's the use? I don't have the will power to do it on my own and would need professional help. Just as a drug addict or an alcoholic needs rehabilitation treatment and cannot be expected to overcome their addiction by themselves, so does a food-addicted person.

This man has a weird cadence in his speaking, but that's nothing compared to his bizarre explanations. I just heard him for the second time, and think he's a nut vegetarian posing as a nutritionist... Even most of us novice nutritionists understand that the biggest cause of diabetes is undoubtedly a lifestyle of frequent feeding and a diet rich in high-carbs & sugars and that fat has no insulin effects... And, we know that the practice of intermittent fasting paired with a low carb/high fat(saturated and omega 3) diet reverses metabolic syndrome and diabetes. This so-called Dr. is out of step with good Dr.s like Jamnadas, Fung, Lustig, Ekberg, Berg, and Gundry. Don't listen to him!
