You can do both at the same time... In the Starch Solution by John McDougall the basis of the diet is eating: 1. Half a plate of non-starchy vegetables. 2. Half a plate of starchy foods from tubers like potatoes and sweet potatoes, from legumes and beans and/or from whole grains. And fruit as dessert...eating nuts infrequently. In Joel Fuhrman's nutritarian diet he recommends... 1. 2 pounds of vegetables, half cooked and half raw including greens and mushrooms. 2. 1-2 cups of beans And a variety of other foods in his GBOMBS - greens, beans, onions, mushorooms, berries, nuts and seeds Furhman's diet recommends 30%-60% of calories from vegetables (those vegetables can include sweet potatoes) 10%-40% of calories from fruit 10%-40% of calories from beans and legumes 20% or less of calories from whole grains and/or potatoes. 10%-40% of calories from seeds, nuts and/or avocados. So you could definitely follow a McDougall diet if you were following Fuhrman's nutritarian diet because McDougall classifies beans and legumes as a starch source. The only difference would be actively eating nuts and seeds as at least 10% of calories instead of eating them sporadically. To put that in context that's ensuring you eat around 7 walnuts a day on a 2,000 calorie diet. eg. half a plate of non starchy vegetables including some greens, mushrooms and raw onion 10%-30% of calories from sweet potato 20%-40% of calories from beans and legumes 20% of calories from potatoes fruit as dessert (10%-40% of calories) including some berries like blueberries or strawberries 10% of calories as nuts and seeds eg 7 whole walnuts a day.
First time I have heard a white physician acknowledge the health disparities impacting Black Americans. I wholeheartedly believe and agree with Dr. Fuhrman. As a registered nurse and Black American, I have always strived to eat nutritiously because I don’t believe our high rates of disease are genetically linked. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman for your incredible, life saving work and speaking the truth! ❤️❤️❤️
Same here!! I am so proud of him for expanding even further in his studies to help ALL humans:) I believe he truly cares about everyone’s health. We are all the same inside after all!!!
By the way, such diseases are due to poor nutrition why Africans do not have such diseases we eat real food from the soil from plants each and single day fresh fruits, plenty of green leafy veggies as a must on our daily meals, vegetables raw and cooked and we don't use oils in our food.
Thank you, L F, for your comments. I was going to write essentially the same thing! Black American, retired 76yo who grew up in the Jim Crow south. Even now we still have to deal with the biases of some physicians who too often reluctantly treat Black patients, resulting in inferior health care. I find myself seeking solutions for my own medical issues, and wonder about the care of those who lack some of the knowledge I have. I thank Dr. Fuhrman for sharing his knowledge and wisdom with all of us!
Dillion, you're a great interviewer. Why? Because unlike a lot of interviews I see by others, you keep quiet and let the person your interviewing talk. You also don't sit there saying yea, yea, right, right the whole time which can be distracting when you're trying to take in what the guest is saying. Great interview. Thanks.
Yes, great interviewer. But if I were being interviewed I'd be nervous with the interviewer gazing at me with barely even blinking. I guess it isn't me, so it's fine. Dr.Fuhrman it seems is not easily unnerved.
bollywoodahoy It’s actually a psychological technique which causes the person to over explain as they are getting no emotional feedback from the interviewer. Job interviewers use it often in order to determine if the person actually understands what they are talking about.
Why not eat a nutritarian starchivore diet. Oats with flax in the morning. Sweet potatoes. Tons of beans, greens, fruit, and a handful of unsalted walnuts. No need for a division. 🙏🏼🌱
My daughter was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma two months ago. She has had 3 rounds of chemo. Two days ago she had a PET Scan. She was initially was stage 4. The report stated that her body had a complete Response to the first three rounds of chemo. They automatically attribute the vast resolution of her inflamed lymph nodes to the chemo drugs alone. Little did they know that my daughter has been on a plant based diet since the original diagnosis. She drinks at least 6 eight ounce glasses of cold pressed green vegetable juice. She also cut out her love of garbage processed food. She has few side effects because of the anti-toxic effect of the plant based diet. This shit works!!!!
I love dr fuhrman. Seriously the most logical and thorough doctor in the vegan/plant based community. I haven’t ever heard him say anything that I thought wasn’t 100% spot on. He has done his research and he works to get people healthy not just thin.
Joel Fuhrman is 65 years old here. His skin isn't saggy, the fat on his cheek bones are not falling and he looks really healthy and great! I am listening to this guy for sure!
I noticed the same thing! I never felt good on 'Starch Solution' or 'Forks Over Knives' - all those grains, carbs, cereals, potatoes, corn, bread, etc. I know that we need small amount of healthy omega 3 fats. We are not meant to eat zero-fat/low protein/high sugar starchy foods. The zero-fat doctors are aging so much faster than those who eat more greens than grains, etc. They look dramatically OLDER than Dr. Fuhrman. I like that Dr. Fuhrman leans more toward raw foods too, and diet strong in phytonutrients and anti-cancer/anti-heart/diabetes benefits.
Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritarian lifestyle just makes the most sense, flood your body with the most anti-disease phytonutrients and avoid the processed junk! I'm applying to medical schools now and Dr. Fuhrman is one of my biggest role models for the kind of physician I want to be in the future :) Great interview!
@@JnTmarie I follow them also, and I love their work (same idea with Dr. Fuhrman- Whole Food Plant Based diet). The thing is, we still need some supplementation, aka B12, DHA, in some cases Zinc, VitD. I agree with you though, most supps aren't necessary, but some are for us WFPB eaters!
I love the starch solution, I lost weight without being hungry but i could never understand why my depression and agoraphobia were not improving , meds weren't working etc... I started to put fat back into my diet with avocados and nuts...my mood improved immediately . I do believe we need some fats and i think the starch solution is a little restrictive on fats if you are prone to mood disorders. I think the nutritarian is the best way to go, even take a bit from both diets. The starch solution is definitely simpler and easier if you're a busy person. Nutritarian diet is a little more complex but definitely the more superior when it comes to getting every nutrient in nutrient. so my take is starch solution good for weight loss but not good for people with mood disorders. Nutritarian diet has it all but more time consuming.
Dr. Fuhrman's advice makes so much sense. I feel wonderful since I started eating the Nutritarian method about 12 years ago. It's too bad his advice is criticized by those tied to the dairy and meat industry. It confuses people.
I’m 79 and follow much of this diet. I feel 40 and do not have a pain or any issue in my body. You are what you eat. My vegetarian diet, is almost totally raw and I won’t eat anything that cannot be eaten, unless cooked. No meat. No fish. No trans fats and most definitely, no wheats or grains, or Pasta, etc. I feel wonderful and can outpace my son, who is nearly 50.
Thank you so much for bringing up the history and current situation of food deserts in the inner cities! I appreciate his genuine concern for the health of lower income Black Americans. I love that he didn't allow the establishment to convince him that we don't care about what we eat. He clearly sees people as people and knew better. Just subscribed
Yes! Yes! Yes!!! He speaks the truth and I hope he opens more eyes to what is really going on with inner city and targeted living areas!!!!! Finally, a Dr. that whole heartedly is telling the truth in all aspects.
Deborah Richie that is true. I am just saying personally, I have NEVER heard ANY DOCTOR point out the extreme obvious of lower income black Americans targeted by the fast food and low nutritional lunches in the schools. You can in fact, find case studies that prove this to be true.
Thanks sounds good. On most days I take a large salad to work that I eat for both breakfast and lunch with many components including: kale, spinach, cilantro, shrooms, red onion, tomato, peppers, beans & chia or hemp seeds, with a homemade sunflower seed or nut based dressing. I need to completely cut out the sugar that I eat too often in the evenings. I'm still slowly losing weight though.
Black, red, and brown sprouted rice is not intact grain right? It's just something I already have prepared. OK, I get plenty of greens, veggies, legumes & seeds, but need more intact grains, berries & other fruit rather than too much Ezekiel bread, corn tortillas, chocolate & other processed stuff in the evenings. Thanks for the inspiration.
Everything you mentioned except corn tortillas is great. The tortillas are made from GMO corn and pesticide laden, as well as the bad oils that thicken and clog arteries....I wouldn’t touch it
@@Livetoeat171 almost all food is genetically modified. Research fruit and vegetables and it’s all genetically modified. GMO isn’t as bad as people make it out.
what is going on with us people,rappers and basketball players are the Heros and role models ,nothing against anyway that makes it big but how many have heard of Dr.Fuhrman's work. he should be recognized by our president for his contribution to good health.we need the entire country to listen to him.
What a true hero. Always helping others and bringing logical thinking to the table. Eating to live and vegan for 6 years now. This guy is actually making a difference, these are the true celebrities.
Not really. You can't get enough calories. You need starches nuts and beans then add a little green vegetable, not the other way round. come 65 these plant based doctors start loosing to much muscle. They are calorically deficient and therefore protein deficient.
@@DMMeow Ha ha ha have who has ever heard that a person was diagnosed with protein deficiency ... you say ??? call me a person in this world. Most of them have way too much protein.
I tried both, and both worked for me so now I combine them with one day having a nutritarian breakfast and dinner and a high carb lunch and then the next day a high carb breakfast and dinner and a nutritarian lunch. But I don't have all three meals just one approach on the same day. It works really well for me, stacks of energy, weight down, skin tightening, hormones feeling more balanced etc.I think I'm doing it right [for me] as when it comes down to it they're BOTH right and you just have to work out how to make it work best for you as we're all individuals. There are no 'wrong answers'! The only 'common denominator' I stick to is being WFPB.
You can't say something, like this, 'worked', until you have been doing it for 10 years....we are not just talking about weightloss or performance, but the LONG TERM effects...be on Nutritarian for 20 years, then reassess and continue...that's how it's done, not just short term (2-3 years is still short term), life style, life-long, then you get the benefits!!...Why it's important to have kids do it!!! can you imagine if you were Nutritarian since birth!! I personally would have been an Olympic runner, had I known
Don't conflate being tolerant with what's best. It makes sense to eat some starchy veggies now and then, especially if you feel like you need them. But sweet potatoes, while quite delicious - and they go great with steamed greens, by the way - aren't nearly as nutritions as kale or mushrooms or onions. We need to understand micronutrient density and understand why that's the measure of the healhfullness of our diet and our likely longevity. There's no way a baked potato is as healthy as a large raw salad with a dressing made from fruit, nuts or seeds, and vinegar. A large salad with some baked potato put in is way better than a baked potato with a small salad. We need to know which direction to push. What the base of the diet should be.
I love how Dr. Fuhrman explains "true hunger". I was raised thinking that when my tummy rumbles is when I am hungry. Finally, I have experienced "true hunger" in my throat. I wish I had known this 40 years ago.
@@kimberlybrink1400 Same here. Everyone's hunger and fullness cues are not exactly the same. In eating disorder recovery I learned that emotional hunger strikes above the neck and physical hunger below it. That's really helped me. It will be different for others!
Thanks, Dillon, for doing another informative interview and asking such great questions. Thanks to Dr. Fuhrman for granting the interview and sharing his incredible wealth of information.
Wonderful content. Thank you so much for interviewing one of my favorite whole-food plant-based doctors. I read his book, Eat to Live, and lost and kept off 35 lbs. because of his guidance. I’ll be forever grateful! Love your channel, by the way!
I am following Dr. Fuhrman. Evertime i play his speaches or his lectures i learn something new. I've played some 2 times or more and take notes. I keep learning and the notes show it! This is new and excting for me. And I'm just getting started. So thank you!
Dr. Fuhrman is a man of EXCELLENCE. That dawned on me as I watched him speak. Everything he does, the knowledge he dispenses, even how he looks and dresses...everything ... bespeaks of a person who believes in excellence and lives it. The absolute best book I’ve ever read on fasting was written by him. I have hundreds of books, several on fasting, but his is the definitive book I pick up whenever I do a water fast. I’m toying with the idea of doing the Nutritarian diet. My concern is that it may be too restrictive for me, which is why (taste-wise) i chose Dr. McDougal’s high starch, low fat lifestyle a few years ago. I only stuck with it about 4-5 months. Not sure why I quit, because I liked it. In my heart of hearts, I believe the Nutritarian diet is probably the best one for overall health.
Really needed to hear the bit around minute 15, I've been struggling with low energy and being quite "hangry" as I work towards changing my diet for the better. This has given me the motivation to continue and not backslide.
Wow! I have read two of Dr. Fuhrman’s books and have the Eat To Live Cookbook, but I learned SO much from this interview. (I want to register and take notes.) Thank you! I have been vegetarian for over 30 years. I gave up sugar at the same time. Gradually I began to give up the foods that I noticed weren’t making me feel as good as the others such as wheat and dairy. Bottom line is I feel GREAT when I eat a lot of low starch vegetables! I mean SUPER CHARGED like Popeye and his spinach! Grains and starchy veggies tend to make me feel more sluggish and slow so I eat less of them. It took me a while to wrap my head around oil free. It was a big paradigm shift. But you know, I DO feel the difference. It’s subtle but my blood feels “cleaner.” I am still learning and I need community because I don’t have ANY friends who eat this way so I’m grateful for the inspiration and ideas your channel provides.
If it werent for Dr. Fuhrman I too would not be as healthy as I am today. I have been able to maintain 10 lbs under what I thought was my desirable weight without wavering. I'm happy, energetic and hiking the trails. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman for educating your audience. Thank you "Well Your World" for having him on your show! 😊
Wow Fast Food Genocide has to be a must read for me as someone who was raised in an urban neighborhood with Puerto-Rican parents doing the best they could my only vegetable was ketchup and once in awhile iceburg lettuce and a can of corn..when I visited Puerto Rico I discovered the taste of fresh fruits like guava, pineapple,tamarind and lots of mangoes! I ate root vegetables like yucca, taro and plantains and Floridian avocados.. came back here but it wasn't until things got better and educated myself that things got better, I was lucky and definitely grateful
PR has alot of healthy foods like plantains and green bananas, and lots of fruits. Yuca, on the other hand, is not so great in terms of micronutrients (cassava is very poor nutritionally). I still eat it sometimes, as it's good for just getting raw caloric energy, and a bit of potassium, but otherwise I think a potato is better. I put tamarind pulp in smoothies all the time. Good stuff. As long as you stay away from fruit juices, fruits are good to eat.
New subscriber! Dr Fuhrman's book, "Eat To Live" has changed my life. I was sort of doing mostly plant-based for 6 years but still struggling with weight loss. Though still working on it, it's much easier and I've lost the sugar cravings. Thanks for bringing us this video.
Outstanding video! Dr. Fuhrman is fantastic! To me, he is a REAL doctor. I would love to have a regular doctor exactly like Dr. Fuhrman, who can speak casually about what food does to the body and completely understand the role of good food,
It's so important what he's pointing out here about detoxification. People try to eat healthy, feel horrible at day 3 and quit, saying I tried it and I felt terrible. They would do better to know from the outset and be prepared.
I so agree with teachings geared toward race biased diseases. Native Americans are taught that they are genetically prone to diabetes. They didn't HAVE diabetes prior to food commodity programs on reservations. When they were living traditionally they were disease free. Thank you for this video!!
Thanks for this interview. I ❤️ Dr Fuhrman, he is the best advertisement for his program, glowing and healthy. I think he has it right, bean, greens and nuts/seeds make all the difference. I can’t lose weight eating to much starch, the beans and nuts keep me full. Another point that I’ve never seen addressed by the starch people, they talk about starch based cultures, but don’t seem to add that all of those cultures include a lot of beans along with the rice, potatoes and bread. His GBOMBS and IF are helping me get to my ideal weight and health goals.
I agree! Starch and veggies fill me up volume-wise but do not satisfy my hunger at all! Eating the same volume of beans, veggies, and a bit of nuts definitely does. Beans are perfect they have starch and protein all in one :)
Dillon, I am new to your channel and just started, about 3 weeks ago in earnest, a plant based diet. I didn't want to overwhelm myself with data and was interested in the Fuhrman book but got started reading the Starch Solution by MacDougall. I do a lot of of what Fuhrman says and about 3/4's of what MacDougall says. I want to thank you for sharing this, it has been a huge help! Also to chime in with another comment below, you are an excellent interviewer. Thank you so, so much for having this great channel and fascinating and fun information. I am a new subscriber and relate very well to everything you've presented so far. You are brilliant! :-)
Yeah, thank you Dillon for conducting such an awesome and informative interview with Dr. Joel Fuhrman...and "go head" Dr. Fuhrman for all of that great information...i've enjoyed watching your seminar on PBS --- Thank you for your passion and enthusiasm centered around healthy eating!😊
Great interview. I'm going to flip the script, and start with a starch. Today I made a pot of mixed rices. Love including wild rice, then I add all sorts of wonderful vegis, greens, etc... yum!
I'd love to hear Dr. Fuhrman and Dr. McDougall sit down together and debate this! While this sounds great, I've been eating high carb for almost 7 years and feel great. I understand that Dr. Fuhrman means "whole nuts" not peanut butter. I'm so glad you interviewed Dr. Fuhrman - he one healthy man - former figure skater with his sister!
they have debated a lot. I saved a you tube video where they are both on a panel and an audience member instigates a renewal. my conclusion is that it is like different sects of the same religion. I feel mcdougall is speaking to more people and will reach more whereas fuhrman will help the strict ones have more optimal health. but this is assuming stress of food is not part of it and rice eaters are eating brown rice on the other side. it gets pretty nit picky between them. bottom line is eat plantts, especially the super ones and don't eat animal products. ones health can always be more optimal and our differences will dictate who we follow more, but bottom line is the same.
We need some more gardens in economically depressed northern urban cities. Whatever condemned buildings can be torn down or gardened around if there are lots. Or the common grounds in the apartment complexes. There's lots of people, plenty of run off from hard surfaces - roofs / parking lots, plenty of protection - brick walls. Plenty of waste for composting. We could cram in a bunch. Definitely can do it in little houses with little lots - share with the neighborhood. Empower the people to take care of themselves health wise and financially then deal with education and job problems.
i been doing a smashup of the nutritarian and Mc Dougall plan for almost 6 years nuts and seeds and some avo is a must for me and i love beans and,i eat 2-3 pounds of raw greens and veg combined every day .we absolutely need lots of micronutrients to avoid the pitfalls of a vegan diet of not getting enough minerals your hair , skin and immune system will thank you great interview Dillon
i blend some of the greens and its not just 2-3 pounds greens its including all other veg i eat , i also eat about 3 cups of different types of beans or lentils nuts ,seeds , fruit , wild rice...plenty of food
I just couldn't eat that many greens and feel good. The calorie density is too low. Maybe one pound. I can't eat nuts and seeds either. A diet that is high fat and very high greens doesn't seem to work for me
well there is many ways to eat a whole food plant based diet , you can experiment with what works for you this works for me , it helped me heal my body from cancer so it seems my Body likes what its getting and i am thriving
Hi,yes I have to comment to this video again. I can't stop,I watch it over and over and over again. For example what he says about oils "that are absorbing the bloodstream very very rapidly and when foods are absorbed very rapidly basically they make crazy the body's hormones !!! I felt this many times eating oils !!! Really,really good interview ! Well your World,I would like to see pictures of you before and after,please ! Thank you.
I discovered your channel via Eat To Live... I’ve read all of the books and I think you’re right that the two diets are more similar. People like me who are insulin resistant should put less emphasis on starches and more on beans, but they’re not off the table. They’re just limited because of their higher glycemic index
Fuhrman's rap, to me, makes the most sense of any of the doctors who promote a plant-based diet ... because he explains the process of digestion and is not a total fanatic about what to eat. GBOMBS makes so much sense. He said around 6:20 that eating this way can reverse many early stage cancers. I'd love to know the source of that data and how that would work.
Beside that Dr. Fuhrmann's diet makes perfectly sense I highly respect his passion and dedication (which seems to go far beyond his own economical interests) to transform society .
As a person who has a life long food addiction, overthinking every single thing about nutrients and certain food combinations makes me insane! I just know that if eat salad/greens before my meal of starch/legumes and non starchy vegetables, I feel better and lose weight. If I start eating nuts, avocadoes and seeds, maybe I might get carried away, so I omit those for now while I deal with my food addiction. White potatoes are the centre of my diet, because I've been doing the Spudfit challenge and I'm sensitive to too many sweet potatoes (they make me have diarrhea and cramping). If Andrew Taylor can reverse his depression and morbid obesity by eating only potatoes for a year (mostly white spuds and no green veg), I think I'll be fine. Me personally, I will do Maximum Weight Loss or Chef AJs Ultimate Weight Loss program style of eating until I get to my goal. I will reassess whether or not to transition to Dr. Fuhrman's approach or Dr. Gregor's Daily Dozen. Until then, I won't "Major In Minor Things" and I'll simplify simplify simplify. If you had an alcohol addiction and you were told that in order to be successful, you had to not only give up alcohol, but you had to take this and that supplememt, and eat this specific food combination to get the best results, along with a bunch of other specifics, you would be overwhelmed and get side tracked. I'm basically saying, the solution to reversing disease and imbalance is simpler than these very specific instructions.
Beautiful, check out the video I made after that discussing the differences between the two. I even used the phrase "majoring in minor things" like Dr. Lisle always says. Sounds like you have a wonderful process!!
Sounds like you're making it way too hard. Start with WFPB. Try to incorporate GBOMBS foods and maybe Dr. Greger's daily dozen when you can. You won't die if you miss something on a checklist one day. Your body has stores of fats, proteins, glycogen, minerals, and vitamins.... People are even able to undergo prolonged medically supervised water fasts because of those stores. Also, ANDI scores can maybe help you choose more nutritional bang for your buck. If you read doctor Fuhrman's books (free from any library and on hoopla) , he has all kinds of fun ways to incorporate nuts into dressings... so you're not overeating them and incorporating them in fun ways while maximizing nutrient absorption. Have fun and don't stress about it. Dr. Fuhrman and Dr. Greger have some great fun recipe ideas... All the best! ✌🙏
Jay Cee , I agree with most of what you said, but for me, I had to give up alcohol unless already eating or cooking my dinner. The reason is that I will always make a bad choice if I’m drinking before I actually begin eating. Somehow it silences the “ good decision” part of my brain!
I’d like to make a video about that soon. I think the two diets are so so close. He makes them sound a lot more different than I feel they are but anyway...
I really like his approach of lower carbs, higher fat. I feel a lot more satisfied and almost no hunger. Very nutrient dense! What's not to love? And, my blood sugars stay in normal range by eating this way. 🙂🌱
Question: Why is it that older rural Chinese who ate a diet of 90% white rice lived long healthy lives mostly free of disease and almost no cancer or hear disease.
I totally believe in what the doctor is promoting and I’m trying hard to live my life that way. It’s just funny that the advertising in between the conversation is for Doritos chips!!!!!
Balance between carbs/starches (potatoes, grains, etc.) and protein/fats (legumes/nuts/seeds) seems to be the best option + lots of fruit and veggies of course
I did Dr Fuhman 2 years before I did McDougall. I think they both fabulous. As a food addict. I enjoy the "full" feeling from a pound of potatoes. I dont know if that is good or bad. I feel that anything that helps me with my addiction and controls my weight is good.
I enjoy it as well. The problem is it takes a lot of potatoes/calories to give people that full feeling. I myself ended up eating atleast seven pounds of them. Steam or soup vegetables have been great right now and give me that full filling without the calories. I just wish Potatoes, corn and rice were lower in calories cause their so good.
Just watched this right after watching the most recent interview with Dr. Fuhrman. Whatever anybody may say about him (which is so ridiculous), he knows his stuff. I wish I had a Dr. Fuhrman in my pocket for every time I’m faced with naysayers while I eat #wfpb. I feel confident in his recommendations. Thanks for sharing both interviews, Dillon! Loving your work!!! And work on getting a) your sauces to NZ or b) finding a way to ship :)
So informative, Thank you! Maybe there should be a Senate hearing on the SAD, and how it's affecting so many aspects of our lives. Hearings on the high cost of pharmaceuticals miss the point. We wouldn't need pills if we ate right.
You can do both at the same time...
In the Starch Solution by John McDougall the basis of the diet is
eating:
1. Half a plate of non-starchy vegetables.
2. Half a plate of starchy foods from tubers like potatoes and sweet
potatoes, from legumes and beans and/or from whole grains.
And fruit as dessert...eating nuts infrequently.
In Joel Fuhrman's nutritarian diet he recommends...
1. 2 pounds of vegetables, half cooked and half raw including greens and
mushrooms.
2. 1-2 cups of beans
And a variety of other foods in his GBOMBS - greens, beans, onions,
mushorooms, berries, nuts and seeds
Furhman's diet recommends
30%-60% of calories from vegetables (those vegetables can include sweet
potatoes)
10%-40% of calories from fruit
10%-40% of calories from beans and legumes
20% or less of calories from whole grains and/or potatoes.
10%-40% of calories from seeds, nuts and/or avocados.
So you could definitely follow a McDougall diet if you were following
Fuhrman's nutritarian diet because McDougall classifies beans and
legumes as a starch source. The only difference would be actively eating
nuts and seeds as at least 10% of calories instead of eating them
sporadically. To put that in context that's ensuring you eat around 7
walnuts a day on a 2,000 calorie diet.
eg. half a plate of non starchy vegetables including some greens, mushrooms and raw onion
10%-30% of calories from sweet potato
20%-40% of calories from beans and legumes
20% of calories from potatoes
fruit as dessert (10%-40% of calories) including some berries like blueberries or strawberries
10% of calories as nuts and seeds eg 7 whole walnuts a day.
Thanks for this break down!

Yes, great interviewer. But if I were being interviewed I'd be nervous with the interviewer gazing at me with barely even blinking. I guess it isn't me, so it's fine. Dr.Fuhrman it seems is not easily unnerved.

It’s actually a psychological technique which causes the person to over explain as they are getting no emotional feedback from the interviewer.
Job interviewers use it often in order to determine if the person actually understands what they are talking about.
Why not eat a nutritarian starchivore diet. Oats with flax in the morning. Sweet potatoes. Tons of beans, greens, fruit, and a handful of unsalted walnuts. No need for a division. 🙏🏼🌱
I totally agree! This is what I eat too! Nice
I agree. I think however we should eat those greens!
You’re right. I do a little bit of both.
Those are ok I believe - it’s the white, processed starches he is against
Tirtzah-תרצה He said greens
Dr Fuhrman was the MD who started me on my WFPB journey. So admire his know-how, dedication & endless enthusiasm. What a hero!

I love dr fuhrman. Seriously the most logical and thorough doctor in the vegan/plant based community. I haven’t ever heard him say anything that I thought wasn’t 100% spot on. He has done his research and he works to get people healthy not just thin.
Joel Fuhrman is 65 years old here. His skin isn't saggy, the fat on his cheek bones are not falling and he looks really healthy and great! I am listening to this guy for sure!
Yes he is extremely healthy and athletic.
He is 65 and looks 65.
I assure you he is doing a lot better than most 65 year olds. He has six pack abs and yes I have seen them.
I noticed the same thing! I never felt good on 'Starch Solution' or 'Forks Over Knives' - all those grains, carbs, cereals, potatoes, corn, bread, etc. I know that we need small amount of healthy omega 3 fats. We are not meant to eat zero-fat/low protein/high sugar starchy foods. The zero-fat doctors are aging so much faster than those who eat more greens than grains, etc. They look dramatically OLDER than Dr. Fuhrman. I like that Dr. Fuhrman leans more toward raw foods too, and diet strong in phytonutrients and anti-cancer/anti-heart/diabetes benefits.
lol
Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritarian lifestyle just makes the most sense, flood your body with the most anti-disease phytonutrients and avoid the processed junk! I'm applying to medical schools now and Dr. Fuhrman is one of my biggest role models for the kind of physician I want to be in the future :) Great interview!
Good for you bro!!
You're making the future look good
Don’t sell unnecessary supplements Check out dr Klaper and dr Gregor. Dr Milton Mills.
@@JnTmarie I follow them also, and I love their work (same idea with Dr. Fuhrman- Whole Food Plant Based diet). The thing is, we still need some supplementation, aka B12, DHA, in some cases Zinc, VitD. I agree with you though, most supps aren't necessary, but some are for us WFPB eaters!
@@JnTmarie outs
I love the starch solution, I lost weight without being hungry but i could never understand why my depression and agoraphobia were not improving , meds weren't working etc... I started to put fat back into my diet with avocados and nuts...my mood improved immediately . I do believe we need some fats and i think the starch solution is a little restrictive on fats if you are prone to mood disorders. I think the nutritarian is the best way to go, even take a bit from both diets. The starch solution is definitely simpler and easier if you're a busy person. Nutritarian diet is a little more complex but definitely the more superior when it comes to getting every nutrient in nutrient. so my take is starch solution good for weight loss but not good for people with mood disorders. Nutritarian diet has it all but more time consuming.
Dr. Fuhrman's advice makes so much sense. I feel wonderful since I started eating the Nutritarian method about 12 years ago. It's too bad his advice is criticized by those tied to the dairy and meat industry. It confuses people.
I’m 79 and follow much of this diet. I feel 40 and do not have a pain or any issue in my body. You are what you eat.
My vegetarian diet, is almost totally raw and I won’t eat anything that cannot be eaten, unless cooked. No meat. No fish. No trans fats and most definitely, no wheats or grains, or Pasta, etc. I feel wonderful and can outpace my son, who is nearly 50.
Why no grains?
The vegetarian diet will harm you because byproducts of animals are more dangerous that meat itself
You can technically eat fish raw 🤷🏿♀️
Thank you so much for bringing up the history and current situation of food deserts in the inner cities! I appreciate his genuine concern for the health of lower income Black Americans. I love that he didn't allow the establishment to convince him that we don't care about what we eat. He clearly sees people as people and knew better. Just subscribed
Yes! Yes! Yes!!! He speaks the truth and I hope he opens more eyes to what is really going on with inner city and targeted living areas!!!!! Finally, a Dr. that whole heartedly is telling the truth in all aspects.
Wow wow! He speaks the truth no matter what race. He has a passion for speaking health to everyone.
Deborah Richie that is true. I am just saying personally, I have NEVER heard ANY DOCTOR point out the extreme obvious of lower income black Americans targeted by the fast food and low nutritional lunches in the schools. You can in fact, find case studies that prove this to be true.
Dr. Fuhrman is so versed in the science, it is a slam dunk to choose nutritarian over starch based. If there was any question, there isn’t now.
Dr. Fuhrman always makes so much sense. I tell people I'm a wanna be nutritarian, but I'm getting there. Thanks for this interview.
Thanks sounds good. On most days I take a large salad to work that I eat for both breakfast and lunch with many components including: kale, spinach, cilantro, shrooms, red onion, tomato, peppers, beans & chia or hemp seeds, with a homemade sunflower seed or nut based dressing. I need to completely cut out the sugar that I eat too often in the evenings. I'm still slowly losing weight though.
Black, red, and brown sprouted rice is not intact grain right? It's just something I already have prepared. OK, I get plenty of greens, veggies, legumes & seeds, but need more intact grains, berries & other fruit rather than too much Ezekiel bread, corn tortillas, chocolate & other processed stuff in the evenings. Thanks for the inspiration.
Organic broccoli, beans, chili peppers, corn tortilla, garlic, green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, onions, sweet fruit, whole grain _AND_ *_POTATO_* lover here!
Me too!
@@WellYourWorld me too
Everything you mentioned except corn tortillas is great. The tortillas are made from GMO corn and pesticide laden, as well as the bad oils that thicken and clog arteries....I wouldn’t touch it
@@Livetoeat171 almost all food is genetically modified. Research fruit and vegetables and it’s all genetically modified. GMO isn’t as bad as people make it out.
Corn tortillas and beans 🤤 😋
what is going on with us people,rappers and basketball players are the Heros and role models ,nothing against anyway that makes it big but how many have heard of Dr.Fuhrman's work.
he should be recognized by our president for his contribution to good health.we need the entire country
to listen to him.
As long as we eat the whole food plant base diet we are helping the planet, animals, and our health.
Yes! Definitely agree!
We must demand more corporate responsibility for the damage they inflict on society!
u vegan?
We could go totally insane and start some permaculture gardening and really help everything / everyone especially ourselves.
What a true hero. Always helping others and bringing logical thinking to the table. Eating to live and vegan for 6 years now. This guy is actually making a difference, these are the true celebrities.
In all my years studying Nutrition, this sounds like the most perfect way for humans to eat.
Not really. You can't get enough calories. You need starches nuts and beans then add a little green vegetable, not the other way round. come 65 these plant based doctors start loosing to much muscle. They are calorically deficient and therefore protein deficient.
@@TB1M1 idk he doesn't look protein deficient to me
@@TB1M1 not enough calories? What world you living in mate?

No you need a Lot of greens 1❗
I tried both, and both worked for me so now I combine them with one day having a nutritarian breakfast and dinner and a high carb lunch and then the next day a high carb breakfast and dinner and a nutritarian lunch. But I don't have all three meals just one approach on the same day. It works really well for me, stacks of energy, weight down, skin tightening, hormones feeling more balanced etc.I think I'm doing it right [for me] as when it comes down to it they're BOTH right and you just have to work out how to make it work best for you as we're all individuals. There are no 'wrong answers'! The only 'common denominator' I stick to is being WFPB.
That is great. Very sound regimen and sound advice. Thank you!
You can't say something, like this, 'worked', until you have been doing it for 10 years....we are not just talking about weightloss or performance, but the LONG TERM effects...be on Nutritarian for 20 years, then reassess and continue...that's how it's done, not just short term (2-3 years is still short term), life style, life-long, then you get the benefits!!...Why it's important to have kids do it!!! can you imagine if you were Nutritarian since birth!! I personally would have been an Olympic runner, had I known
T. L. Chiv
T. L. Chivz , would you give an example of those two days meals? Sounds like a good plan to me- thanks!
Don't conflate being tolerant with what's best. It makes sense to eat some starchy veggies now and then, especially if you feel like you need them. But sweet potatoes, while quite delicious - and they go great with steamed greens, by the way - aren't nearly as nutritions as kale or mushrooms or onions. We need to understand micronutrient density and understand why that's the measure of the healhfullness of our diet and our likely longevity. There's no way a baked potato is as healthy as a large raw salad with a dressing made from fruit, nuts or seeds, and vinegar. A large salad with some baked potato put in is way better than a baked potato with a small salad. We need to know which direction to push. What the base of the diet should be.
I love how Dr. Fuhrman explains "true hunger". I was raised thinking that when my tummy rumbles is when I am hungry. Finally, I have experienced "true hunger" in my throat. I wish I had known this 40 years ago.
Oh well, now you know! ✊️
@@WellYourWorld I base hunger on a rumbling tummy, not throat. I just don't buy that. Not overweight, never have been. Listen to your body!
Douglas nah, just common sense.
@@kimberlybrink1400 Same here. Everyone's hunger and fullness cues are not exactly the same. In eating disorder recovery I learned that emotional hunger strikes above the neck and physical hunger below it. That's really helped me. It will be different for others!
Thanks, Dillon, for doing another informative interview and asking such great questions. Thanks to Dr. Fuhrman for granting the interview and sharing his incredible wealth of information.
Thank you! Yes it was awesome that he said yes.
You are a GREAT interviewer. You ask good questions and then you reallyLISTEN! Thank you.
Wonderful content. Thank you so much for interviewing one of my favorite whole-food plant-based doctors. I read his book, Eat to Live, and lost and kept off 35 lbs. because of his guidance. I’ll be forever grateful! Love your channel, by the way!
Furhman is a triumph . Wow. Love to listen to him
I’ve enjoyed him a lot! Thank you!
I am following Dr. Fuhrman. Evertime i play his speaches or his lectures i learn something new. I've played some 2 times or more and take notes. I keep learning and the notes show it! This is new and excting for me. And I'm just getting started. So thank you!
Dr. Fuhrman is a man of EXCELLENCE. That dawned on me as I watched him speak. Everything he does, the knowledge he dispenses, even how he looks and dresses...everything ... bespeaks of a person who believes in excellence and lives it. The absolute best book I’ve ever read on fasting was written by him. I have hundreds of books, several on fasting, but his is the definitive book I pick up whenever I do a water fast. I’m toying with the idea of doing the Nutritarian diet. My concern is that it may be too restrictive for me, which is why (taste-wise) i chose Dr. McDougal’s high starch, low fat lifestyle a few years ago. I only stuck with it about 4-5 months. Not sure why I quit, because I liked it. In my heart of hearts, I believe the Nutritarian diet is probably the best one for overall health.
This guy sure knows his stuff, he's the best!!!
Really needed to hear the bit around minute 15, I've been struggling with low energy and being quite "hangry" as I work towards changing my diet for the better. This has given me the motivation to continue and not backslide.
Makes me happy to hear that. Stick with it.
Wow! I have read two of Dr. Fuhrman’s books and have the Eat To Live Cookbook, but I learned SO much from this interview. (I want to register and take notes.) Thank you! I have been vegetarian for over 30 years. I gave up sugar at the same time. Gradually I began to give up the foods that I noticed weren’t making me feel as good as the others such as wheat and dairy. Bottom line is I feel GREAT when I eat a lot of low starch vegetables! I mean SUPER CHARGED like Popeye and his spinach! Grains and starchy veggies tend to make me feel more sluggish and slow so I eat less of them. It took me a while to wrap my head around oil free. It was a big paradigm shift. But you know, I DO feel the difference. It’s subtle but my blood feels “cleaner.” I am still learning and I need community because I don’t have ANY friends who eat this way so I’m grateful for the inspiration and ideas your channel provides.
This is the BEST interview I have seen of this AMAZING physician! THANK YOU!
my interest was in how food affects intelligence,depression,and creativity....this was excellent. thank you.
If it werent for Dr. Fuhrman I too would not be as healthy as I am today. I have been able to maintain 10 lbs under what I thought was my desirable weight without wavering. I'm happy, energetic and hiking the trails. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman for educating your audience. Thank you "Well Your World" for having him on your show! 😊
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT questions and interview. Thank you!!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Food IS the issue....ultimately. Finally a doctor reveals the truth.
Wow Fast Food Genocide has to be a must read for me as someone who was raised in an urban neighborhood with Puerto-Rican parents doing the best they could my only vegetable was ketchup and once in awhile iceburg lettuce and a can of corn..when I visited Puerto Rico I discovered the taste of fresh fruits like guava, pineapple,tamarind and lots of mangoes! I ate root vegetables like yucca, taro and plantains and Floridian avocados.. came back here but it wasn't until things got better and educated myself that things got better, I was lucky and definitely grateful
Beautiful! It is so nice when good food opens your eyes! Keep it up.
PR has alot of healthy foods like plantains and green bananas, and lots of fruits. Yuca, on the other hand, is not so great in terms of micronutrients (cassava is very poor nutritionally). I still eat it sometimes, as it's good for just getting raw caloric energy, and a bit of potassium, but otherwise I think a potato is better.
I put tamarind pulp in smoothies all the time. Good stuff. As long as you stay away from fruit juices, fruits are good to eat.
New subscriber! Dr Fuhrman's book, "Eat To Live" has changed my life. I was sort of doing mostly plant-based for 6 years but still struggling with weight loss. Though still working on it, it's much easier and I've lost the sugar cravings. Thanks for bringing us this video.
Thanks for being here! I appreciate the support!
Love Dr Fuhrman and mccdougall, changed my life.
Outstanding video! Dr. Fuhrman is fantastic! To me, he is a REAL doctor. I would love to have a regular doctor exactly like Dr. Fuhrman, who can speak casually about what food does to the body and completely understand the role of good food,
This is a really fantastic interview.
You have a great interviewing style
Fantastic video! Dr. Fuhruman is brilliant. You are a giant, by the way, Dillon.
Dr. Fuhrman is one of my favorites! Great video. THANKS!
Glad you liked it, thank you!
It's so important what he's pointing out here about detoxification. People try to eat healthy, feel horrible at day 3 and quit, saying I tried it and I felt terrible. They would do better to know from the outset and be prepared.
This man is my hero
Dr F really explains things fully yet very easy to understand!
Great video and great info. Thank you and please thank Dr Fuhrman.
I have listened to Dr fuhrmam before on TH-cam so I'm impressed you got an interview with him.
Ya it was a lot of fun!
Yes, thank you for your work. My heart and my mind goes out to the world. We must do better and thank you for all you do. ❤❤❤
Both of you are gems. Thanks so much.
Thank you!
Brilliant Video! Thank you Dillon for providing such excellent interviews for us all!
Thank you for the support!
Love Dr. Joel Fuhrman interviews and will definitely be watching this soon, glad this popped up on my home screen and I’ll subscribe as well
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it!
I so agree with teachings geared toward race biased diseases. Native Americans are taught that they are genetically prone to diabetes. They didn't HAVE diabetes prior to food commodity programs on reservations. When they were living traditionally they were disease free.
Thank you for this video!!
Dr. Furhman is great
Thanks for this interview. I ❤️ Dr Fuhrman, he is the best advertisement for his program, glowing and healthy. I think he has it right, bean, greens and nuts/seeds make all the difference. I can’t lose weight eating to much starch, the beans and nuts keep me full. Another point that I’ve never seen addressed by the starch people, they talk about starch based cultures, but don’t seem to add that all of those cultures include a lot of beans along with the rice, potatoes and bread. His GBOMBS and IF are helping me get to my ideal weight and health goals.
Thank you for sharing!
I agree! Starch and veggies fill me up volume-wise but do not satisfy my hunger at all! Eating the same volume of beans, veggies, and a bit of nuts definitely does. Beans are perfect they have starch and protein all in one :)
Take the best of both…I lean towards Fuhrman…nutrition excellence
Thank you, Dr. Fuhrman, for sharing your knowledge about nutrition, and for encouraging us all towards better health!
Fuhrman is such a wealth of insightful information.
Thanks for doing it Dillon, This video is really valuable to me. I admire your attitude and clean flow of information especially in this video.
Dillon, I am new to your channel and just started, about 3 weeks ago in earnest, a plant based diet. I didn't want to overwhelm myself with data and was interested in the Fuhrman book but got started reading the Starch Solution by MacDougall. I do a lot of of what Fuhrman says and about 3/4's of what MacDougall says. I want to thank you for sharing this, it has been a huge help! Also to chime in with another comment below, you are an excellent interviewer. Thank you so, so much for having this great channel and fascinating and fun information. I am a new subscriber and relate very well to everything you've presented so far. You are brilliant! :-)
Yeah, thank you Dillon for conducting such an awesome and informative interview with Dr. Joel Fuhrman...and "go head" Dr. Fuhrman for all of that great information...i've enjoyed watching your seminar on PBS --- Thank you for your passion and enthusiasm centered around healthy eating!😊
Great interview! He is amazing!
I’d love to hear Dr Fuhrmans take on how to eat nutritarian with IBS issues. Specifically on how to go about a low FODMAP diet.
Hats 🎩 off!!! Amazing guy. This is what you have when your career choice is fueled by passion.
What a great interview, clear & easy to innerstand.
Thank you Dr.Fuhrman and Dillon for such an informative interview. The information is presented in a way to easily understand and very interesting.
Thank you!
Terrific interview thanks to both of you ..
Thank you!
Great interview. I'm going to flip the script, and start with a starch. Today I made a pot of mixed rices. Love including wild rice, then I add all sorts of wonderful vegis, greens, etc... yum!
I'd love to hear Dr. Fuhrman and Dr. McDougall sit down together and debate this! While this sounds great, I've been eating high carb for almost 7 years and feel great. I understand that Dr. Fuhrman means "whole nuts" not peanut butter. I'm so glad you interviewed Dr. Fuhrman - he one healthy man - former figure skater with his sister!
Ya both of them are pretty set in their ways. The two diets are generally practiced very similarly. I just need to eat more greens.
I went to his website and looked at his recipes - they are low in fat. I eat a ton of veggies, greens included. Yes, nuts need to be raw!
Fuhrmans is much more veggie heavy that McDougall. I get his point about nutritional values vs high starch-low nutrient.
they have debated a lot. I saved a you tube video where they are both on a panel and an audience member instigates a renewal. my conclusion is that it is like different sects of the same religion. I feel mcdougall is speaking to more people and will reach more whereas fuhrman will help the strict ones have more optimal health. but this is assuming stress of food is not part of it and rice eaters are eating brown rice on the other side. it gets pretty nit picky between them. bottom line is eat plantts, especially the super ones and don't eat animal products. ones health can always be more optimal and our differences will dictate who we follow more, but bottom line is the same.
Peter Rabitt
Fuhrman and McDougall already were in a debate it’s on TH-cam few years back.
We need some more gardens in economically depressed northern urban cities. Whatever condemned buildings can be torn down or gardened around if there are lots. Or the common grounds in the apartment complexes. There's lots of people, plenty of run off from hard surfaces - roofs / parking lots, plenty of protection - brick walls. Plenty of waste for composting. We could cram in a bunch. Definitely can do it in little houses with little lots - share with the neighborhood. Empower the people to take care of themselves health wise and financially then deal with education and job problems.
Excellent interview, very enlightening.
Thank you! 👏
i been doing a smashup of the nutritarian and Mc Dougall plan for almost 6 years
nuts and seeds and some avo is a must for me and i love beans and,i eat 2-3 pounds of raw greens and veg combined every day .we absolutely need lots of micronutrients to avoid the pitfalls of a vegan diet of not getting enough minerals
your hair , skin and immune system will thank you
great interview Dillon
I think your way is the best way, and the most reasonable to stay true to. Thanks for the support.
How do you eat 2-3 pounds of raw greens a day? I would become seriously underweight if I ate that much, unless I poured oil all over the greens.
i blend some of the greens and its not just 2-3 pounds greens its including all other veg i eat , i also eat about 3 cups of different types of beans or lentils
nuts ,seeds , fruit , wild rice...plenty of food
I just couldn't eat that many greens and feel good. The calorie density is too low. Maybe one pound. I can't eat nuts and seeds either. A diet that is high fat and very high greens doesn't seem to work for me
well there is many ways to eat a whole food plant based diet , you can experiment with what works for you
this works for me , it helped me heal my body from cancer
so it seems my Body likes what its getting and i am thriving
Hi,yes I have to comment to this video again. I can't stop,I watch it over and over and over again. For example what he says about oils "that are absorbing the bloodstream very very rapidly and when foods are absorbed very rapidly basically they make crazy the body's hormones !!! I felt this many times eating oils !!! Really,really good interview ! Well your World,I would like to see pictures of you before and after,please ! Thank you.
My very first video shows some before and after. I don't really want to be that youtuber that shows my body though...
I just watched it. Thank you and funny LOL. Regarding the pictures,this is what I can say PLUMED .........and not PLUMED......
I discovered your channel via Eat To Live... I’ve read all of the books and I think you’re right that the two diets are more similar. People like me who are insulin resistant should put less emphasis on starches and more on beans, but they’re not off the table. They’re just limited because of their higher glycemic index
Great interview. Thanks Dillion!
My Personal Doctor.....he doesn't let me slide, but we work to understand why I try to....it works....
Fuhrman's rap, to me, makes the most sense of any of the doctors who promote a plant-based diet ... because he explains the process of digestion and is not a total fanatic about what to eat. GBOMBS makes so much sense.
He said around 6:20 that eating this way can reverse many early stage cancers. I'd love to know the source of that data and how that would work.
Beside that Dr. Fuhrmann's diet makes perfectly sense I highly respect his passion and dedication (which seems to go far beyond his own economical interests) to transform society .
Exactly.
I combine both plus I closely follow everything Dr. Michael Greger puts out.
Thank you so much for this interview. I loved it!
Thank you!
As a person who has a life long food addiction, overthinking every single thing about nutrients and certain food combinations makes me insane! I just know that if eat salad/greens before my meal of starch/legumes and non starchy vegetables, I feel better and lose weight. If I start eating nuts, avocadoes and seeds, maybe I might get carried away, so I omit those for now while I deal with my food addiction. White potatoes are the centre of my diet, because I've been doing the Spudfit challenge and I'm sensitive to too many sweet potatoes (they make me have diarrhea and cramping). If Andrew Taylor can reverse his depression and morbid obesity by eating only potatoes for a year (mostly white spuds and no green veg), I think I'll be fine.
Me personally, I will do Maximum Weight Loss or Chef AJs Ultimate Weight Loss program style of eating until I get to my goal. I will reassess whether or not to transition to Dr. Fuhrman's approach or Dr. Gregor's Daily Dozen. Until then, I won't "Major In Minor Things" and I'll simplify simplify simplify.
If you had an alcohol addiction and you were told that in order to be successful, you had to not only give up alcohol, but you had to take this and that supplememt, and eat this specific food combination to get the best results, along with a bunch of other specifics, you would be overwhelmed and get side tracked. I'm basically saying, the solution to reversing disease and imbalance is simpler than these very specific instructions.
Beautiful, check out the video I made after that discussing the differences between the two. I even used the phrase "majoring in minor things" like Dr. Lisle always says. Sounds like you have a wonderful process!!
Sounds like you're making it way too hard.
Start with WFPB.
Try to incorporate GBOMBS foods and maybe Dr. Greger's daily dozen when you can.
You won't die if you miss something on a checklist one day. Your body has stores of fats, proteins, glycogen, minerals, and vitamins....
People are even able to undergo prolonged medically supervised water fasts because of those stores.
Also, ANDI scores can maybe help you choose more nutritional bang for your buck.
If you read doctor Fuhrman's books (free from any library and on hoopla) , he has all kinds of fun ways to incorporate nuts into dressings... so you're not overeating them and incorporating them in fun ways while maximizing nutrient absorption.
Have fun and don't stress about it.
Dr. Fuhrman and Dr. Greger have some great fun recipe ideas...
All the best! ✌🙏
Jay Cee , I agree with most of what you said, but for me, I had to give up alcohol unless already eating or cooking my dinner. The reason is that I will always make a bad choice if I’m drinking before I actually begin eating. Somehow it silences the “ good decision” part of my brain!
I agree and keeping it simple is the most sustainable way.
Great interview Dillon. Would like to hear your thoughts on what he said.
I’d like to make a video about that soon. I think the two diets are so so close. He makes them sound a lot more different than I feel they are but anyway...
I've lost 62 pounds since July 9, 2018 doing th Eat To Live. Still have a few pounds to go but it's a lifestyle I'll lbe able to live with.
Wonderful!
As of February 8th, I've now lost 71 pounds. Love eating healthy.
Any progress updates? Inspiring story!
I really like his approach of lower carbs, higher fat. I feel a lot more satisfied and almost no hunger. Very nutrient dense! What's not to love? And, my blood sugars stay in normal range by eating this way. 🙂🌱
Yes!
thank both of you!
Thank you for watching!
Question: Why is it that older rural Chinese who ate a diet of 90% white rice lived long healthy lives mostly free of disease and almost no cancer or hear disease.
It could be more about avoiding damaging foods than to seek out extra nutrition. I'm sure some extra nutrition helps but up to a point.
I totally believe in what the doctor is promoting and I’m trying hard to live my life that way. It’s just funny that the advertising in between the conversation is for Doritos chips!!!!!
Try to install AD blocker for Chrome. I hate these ads.
Balance between carbs/starches (potatoes, grains, etc.) and protein/fats (legumes/nuts/seeds) seems to be the best option + lots of fruit and veggies of course
Dr fuhrman is the best!
Great video, very informative, thank you Dr Fuhrman 👍🙏😍🌲
I did Dr Fuhman 2 years before I did McDougall. I think they both fabulous. As a food addict. I enjoy the "full" feeling from a pound of potatoes. I dont know if that is good or bad. I feel that anything that helps me with my addiction and controls my weight is good.
I enjoy it as well. The problem is it takes a lot of potatoes/calories to give people that full feeling. I myself ended up eating atleast seven pounds of them. Steam or soup vegetables have been great right now and give me that full filling without the calories. I just wish Potatoes, corn and rice were lower in calories cause their so good.
This was great. I love his book.
Thank you!! Eye opening, confirmation of some of my thoughts.
Thanks for the great interview!
Thank you!
I really wish schools would get more into this. But no. Pop tarts as a school breakfast. It's frightening.
Oh my I cannot imagine. I bought my lunch at school everyday growing up. The garbage I used to put in my body...
Do US schools REALLY sell pop tarts ?
LizzieDripping they’re not even sold...they’re given for free!
Great interview of Dr Fuhrman. Moderate caloric restriction. Daily intermittent fasting 14 hours daily. Repair & grow.
Food for thought, I think I’ll listen
Thank God for Dr.s like Dr. Furman that are proclaiming the truth about the SAD diet and the true diet!!!
Just watched this right after watching the most recent interview with Dr. Fuhrman. Whatever anybody may say about him (which is so ridiculous), he knows his stuff. I wish I had a Dr. Fuhrman in my pocket for every time I’m faced with naysayers while I eat #wfpb. I feel confident in his recommendations. Thanks for sharing both interviews, Dillon! Loving your work!!! And work on getting a) your sauces to NZ or b) finding a way to ship :)
Yes I promise I am working on that! Thank you Monica!
@@WellYourWorld thank YOU!
So informative, Thank you! Maybe there should be a Senate hearing on the SAD, and how it's affecting so many aspects of our lives. Hearings on the high cost of pharmaceuticals miss the point. We wouldn't need pills if we ate right.
