I truly appreciate Dr McDougall and Mary. I feel so much better and loosing weight. I read all the time how the carnivores put down the vegan community. Calling us sick and malnourished. I’ve never felt better since I ditched meat, dairy and oils
Have you considered the fact that you might feel better because you ditched the oils and dairy rather than the meat? You could try cutting out just one item of food one by one for a while as an experiment.
@@DJTT-d9h yet, the published research by Dr M, and similar colleagues such as Dr Esselstyn and Prof Ornish, does not appear to support what you're arguing here.
@@christieanderson1330 No, I feel on top of the world on a plant-based diet. Never need more than 5 hours sleep at night and can keep going all day long without feeling the slightest bit fatigued even when the temperatures are in the high 30s (C) and I'm doing strenuous physical work. Incidentally, I'm in my 77th year. Never sick. Never visit the doctor. Never, ever take any kind of medication and never will!
amazing to see how Dr. McDougall still has the fight and passion in him after all these years. That's what happens when you tell the truth. Fighting big agriculture is ongoing .... they do not want the masses getting the big idea as they stand to lose many billions of dollars.
Listening replay from Western Australia. Been following dr mcdougall now for 7 years and can only say how healthy and wonderful I feel. Love potatoes and eat them every day. ☺️
Careful! Potatoes are very high in lectins. Especially bad for people with O (Original Man) blood groups. Sweet potatoes are a lot better as they don't contain nearly so many.
Dr McDougall’s old yellow McDougall Plan book was one of the first I read when our family of 4 went WFPB 14 years ago. Now I am sharing videos on my TH-cam channel about how we keep this simple and sustainable.
After mixing in vegan substitutes I gained weight again. Following your dietary recommendations strictly still does the job - even without additional exercise!
Thanks. This is great. There is so much confusion about low carb and high carb. I will throw this video at them, and help them remove carb phobia, and embrace whole plants, especially whole starchy plants. God bless!
I women who does videos was on keto and had a stroke half her face was paralyzed then the symptoms cleared up and she was recovered. She was openly debating weather she should go on a low fat diet because of the stroke. I mentioned your name.
Baked potatoes. Even though I was trying to eat a reduced carb diet for my diabetes I couldn't quite give up potatoes entirely. Then I made a discovery, my airfryer. A microwave is faster but if you like the crisp skin on an oven baked potato, I have found my air fryer to be perfeect. 400 deg for 40 min or so and walk away. When the dinger goes off your baked potato is done, nice and crispy.
Dear all, I have a problem understanding. I eat my fill of potatoes, oatmeal with fruit and vegetables every day. It is always said that a man needs about 2400 cal. I can never manage that. Is that a problem?
Tell your sister to try low carb, keto, or even carnivore...it will slash her blood sugar levels, this guy has some axe to grind with eating animals....in which God put on this earth for
Muito obrigada por seus vídeos Dr , sou quase vegana e suas dicas tem facilitado muito minha alimentação . Não como carne e nem derivados , e do laticínio como a manteiga e de vez em quando uma latinha de atum que aprecio muito , mas pretendo deixa lá também e faço isso pelos animais mas eh bom saber dos benificios para nos .

Nuclear stress test is very inaccurate. I did two in the last 10 years and both times, the angiograms were negative. So, don't stress out if you may get a stent, because chances are you won't.
What's your source for what you're saying please? And have you gone through Dr M's Starch Solution presentations on YT, or read the books and Newsletters? Kindly, the science doesn't support what you're saying here. People will struggle to lose weight if that starch is prepared with added fats and oils, and/or lots of refined sugars and syrups perhaps: but that is not then a starch based diet.
@JohnDoe-xk1dv sugar and maple syrup don't cause weight gain or make it hard lose weight. Gmo sugars like hfcs are the only ones I would stay away from.
@@dj-fe4ck note I did say 'lots' of refined sugars and syrups. Yes, if people are adding a ton of calories via these on top of normal starch based calorie needs, they can struggle more. But that's not most people's issue - their problem is not eating enough starch, and fats and oils, and/or animal products alongside and instead of.
@@christieanderson1330 The body doesn't work like that. I have had days were i eat more and i drop weight just because i balanced my blood sugars. The key seems to be lowering insulin. When insulin is at a correct level the bodies metabolism speeds up and burns off excess calories. This explains why intermittent fasting works for weight loss even though people eat in a calorie surplus.
I have a question I want to abstain from bread in order to lose weight. Is this thing harmful to me. I am a school student, is it harmful? And I want a thinner alternative to bread
Me too.. I love bread but it is deemed as un healthy as it is processed food n a lot of toxic chemical are thrown into while making it. Your safest bet is most probably ur local bakery not the supermarket. Enjoy it Perhaps once in a while won't hurt. Life is meant to be enjoyed.
My dog - a carnivore- almost died from eating fatty meat. He got pancreatitis. Why dont keto people get this? Ive changed his and mine diet to low fat…
I don’t think you really answered the skinny lady with high A1C. Do you think she should watch things like white rice. Potatoes get green when they are in to much light.
He did - if she's type 1.5 diabetic, she'll need some insulin. That's then visiting her doctor, for looking at pancreatic function. You're better off, diabetic or not, going on brown rice than white rice from the Program guidelines. It's not a dealbreaker if you're not diabetic, and if it's vegetables and fruits without grease and oil with that white rice, probably most will do just fine - as long as vit B12 source is included, and some sunlight, both of which we all should also be wary of anyway. Epidemiologically and historically, all other things being equal, rural Far East people did really well on that. But brown rice is better, with the fibre and fuller bran.
@@JohnDoe-xk1dv No. Only white rice. You can easily get enough fiber from fruits, vegetables, and other whole grains. I will never eat brown rice again. Brown doesn't taste good and has too much arsenic.
I don't even eat white rice with vegetables at the same time. I can eat big monomeals of white rice and I have zero problems. I feel no different than I do after eating a big meal of whole wheat or oats. Fasting glucose 73, fasting insulin 2.3, a1c 5.0 when I last tested them. I have never had an a1c over 5.2 and have never had a Fasting glucose over 90.
@@dj-fe4ck they've served brown rice preferentially at the McDougall program long term, you do understand here. I'm sorry that you don't like brown rice, but plenty of people do. And any arsenic in rice, in itself, is not due to it being brown or white, in and of itself. It's due to the soil, and arsenic containing pesticides that may have been used on that soil previously. Yes, brown will contain more, if the rice comes from those type of soils, but it is possible to source rice from arsenic free ones. Arsenic soils tend to be ones that have been grown with non-organic cotton, in previous years.
I was considering his diet since I’m 62 and in great health currently (just want to be in best health possible)! What works best for you? Were you eating starch based?
@@Ranch-girl No, definitely no starch! Starch converts to sugar and can cause all manner of sicknesses (Alzheimer's, diabetes etc) as the body becomes insulin resistant. Sugar is NOT needed in the body. Ketones are. If you're in great health my advice to you is to continue eating what you're already eating and forget carbs!
@@Ranch-girl Well, I'm not actually a coherent of any particular diet but as I'm a Blood Group O (Original Man) I suppose I am naturally paleo. I follow my gut instinct as to what to eat and what not to eat. Original Man ate a little meat occasionally supplemented with seeds, nuts, berries, wild fruits and vegetables. Definitely no wheat or dairy as they were only introduced tens of thousands of years later and are only 'suitable' for those people with blood group A (Agricultural Man).
Why do people come on here to criticize Dr. McDougall? If you don't want to use his suggestions, don't try to turn someone else from it. That's just being mean. Dr. McDougall has all the research papers to back him up.

I know this is asking a lot, but if ever you went back to in-person programs and did one in Canada, I'd sign up right away.
Good show....l enjoyed....see you all next Sunday eve 8 pm my timezone
I love all your lectures!

Sounds like type 1 or 1.5 like he is talking about
