McDougall Program: John A. McDougall, M.D.
After four years on keto, and Finding out my arteries are plugged up I went home, threw all that crap away, went and bought fruits and vegetables, and never looked back. That was four months ago! Doing much better. There are tons of plant basedrecipes on TH-cam. I bought all your books! I am in 100%.
Same happened with me several years ago. Never looked back. On a separate note, it is beautiful to see the love and respect both have for one another.
Good job. I've been vegan for 34yrs, so when I went keto, I went plant based keto. I definitely got a "high" from it. I loved my stomach being completely flat, I loved that I could go days without eating...but then other things started happening. I developed asthma and had severe attacks for the first time in my life, and I developed scalp psoriasis. Dumbest thing I ever did - and I knew better....
you know she's a real one when she flips the tortillas with her hands instead a spatula. Mad respect from this Latina! I bought the Starch solution book and loooooove all the recipes I've tried so far. Mrs. McDougall knows flavor!
I do it too lol. I have been cooking for so long and have burned my fingers so much that it doesn't bother me.
The way John looks at Mary while making vegan burritos is how I want my future hubby to look at me while I make him vegan burritos 😍 John and Mary are real relationship goals
I would have liked him to at least pretend he was helping with the meal while looking at her like that.
@@agatha6267 She didn't seem to need help. They both seemed very happy.
He's eyeing the burrito......lol.
Future hubby is a lucky dude right now. I hope you found him.
If you are still free and vegan I would like to marry you ❤
I love Dr. McDougall's teachings. I became vegan the moment I was done watching his videos. He explains things SO WELL!! INCREDIBLE DOCTOR!!
John and Mary McDougall have literally..saved me life.
I owe it to them to spread this message, which I have been doing, for 2 years.
God Bless you both
Watched this video 6 years later . . It may be one of my favorite videos of all time. . .I don't know, there is this feeling of peace, love, wholesomeness :) Love the McDougalls!!!
Agreed. I just watched it, and eas surprised that something about it brought me to tears. There's just something very good going on here.
Another really good tip to make that thing taste even more rich is take a diced onion and cook it on the skillet, then cook the tortilla in the onion juice that has been extracted from the heat. Makes it awesome. And that's how the do it on the street corners down in Mexico. AKA "street tacos".
Vladimir Putin Good tip.
mm alright
I loved seeing Mary teaching us a recipe.:-) Would love to see more of her.
Doctor McDougall is correct about a person's appetite changing, after following his plant based high starch diet. I had always been a meat eater. After reading John's "Starch Solution" book, I thought there is no way I can stay on this diet without having meat and dairy products, especially cheese. After being on John's diet for only two weeks, I found I had no desire for meat or dairy products. In fact, when looking at a picture of a big juicy steak, I become nauseous. Don't ask me how that happened, because I don't know,,,lol.
I am 72 years old and as of this date June 4, 2015, I have been on the Starch Solution diet for four months. My super high blood pressure is now normal and without ever taking any type of blood pressure medication. I plan on staying on this diet for the rest of my life. I wish I had started the diet when I was much younger, but at least I am on it now.
+TheTexasbuddy That's amazing, congratulations on your health improving!
+Inger Haugland Thanks Inger
+TheTexasbuddy Awesome testimony! I am just starting the McDougall plan, 3 days so far. I've tried Paleo and gluten-free for 3 years, GAPS for 1 year. Just got off Keto after a few months...I can not stand to eat another piece of meat after that diet. As a last resort I thought to try plant based and found Dr McDougall. I hope my results are as wonderful as yours has been.
+Tem Rossi I have been on the high starch solution diet for close to eight month and I am pleased with the results. I watch lots of Doctor McDougall's you tube clips. I refer to my diet as being a high starch Vegan diet. I noticed in one of the Doctor's clips, John doesn't want to be associated with the Vegan diet, just the high starch diet. Tern, I hope you have the same good results as I have experienced. An added benefit to the high starch diet, my grocery bill is much less. The diet is not only a healthy diet, but a very economical diet. Good luck to you.
+Capricorn This is not surprising -- it is the norm. When we eat the wrong foods, our microbiome becomes adapted to that food. Because of this, these bacterias "hijack" our system and make us crave more of those wrong foods. Once we have effectively stopped the addiction, these gut bacterias are gone -- they've been replaced by other ones that make our tastebuds prefer the healthier food since its the one they thrive on.
Oh my gosh, they’re SO sweet! I love being around them, listening to or watching them together 💗
Wow they were kids when they made this video, the advice is timeless.
Thank you so much for all your help. I am struggling so badly trying to make this permanent transition. I am extremely depressed and I know a huge portion is because of the food. The addiction is so hard to kick, but I will NOT give up!
Don't know how you're do7ng six years layer, but at two weeks on, I've rediscovered oatmeal. It fills me up, feels good in my belly, and keeps me going all or most of the day with no cravings. I typically follow it with rice in the evening.
When I feel more grounded with this new (for me) way pf eating, I'll probably do it as OMAD, like I did with keto.
I hope you are well.
Bean Soup is great too.With bread if you like.
I have been eating this way for about 5 and 1/2 weeks. It is really helping me. I feel great, energetic, and my chronic pain is reduced. I have lost about 9 pounds without trying at all. I don't miss animal foods at all, even if my husband eats them in front of me. In fact the smell makes me a bit nauseous. My kids, all grown, think I am crazy, but I don't care!!!! I made these beans today and they are quite good. I am going to have them with rice as soon as the rice cooker is done!
I've lost 25lbs. All chronic pain has gone as well.
What a great an encouraging post, this is my second week in!!
How old are you and Trenton lol? I just want to know to see where my Metabolism most likely falls ( So i can estimate how many pounds I can lose in so and so amount of time )
I am 18 and just found out about this McDougall guy 2 weeks ago, so far I only been on his diet ONE WEEK, it's been pretty good but damn I needed lots of fresh and dry ingredients (Like Thyme, Dill Weed, Cumin) Besides that though, the fresh whole foods and whole grain pasta and bread aren't THAT expensive, i wonder how it compares against my meat diet lol. SO far I think I already lost like 2 Pounds and my Brother did as well! He is 13.
me too same amount of time as you and my arm is half the size it was i lost weight sleeping, lol. I love my new life! Im healing from the inside out and i feel good. I have infection that Ive had for years, healing everyday two ear infections both ears gone and i just started eating a clove of garlic daily as a natural antibiotic and parasite killer. Food is medicine!
in the beginning everyone thinks that you are the one doing something odd but it doesn't take long before you realize that the majority of everyone else are the ones who are eating a diet thats odd.
It's the McDougall cooking show!!!
I'm now craving a burrito :)
Awesome and amazing for beginners thank you so much for all your years of hard suffering Dr MCDOUGALL and Mary McDougall went through to help everyone get healthy ❤
I love to watch the both of you in your cooking demonstrations. You are so practical and use everyday ingredients and don't get hung up on things like spicing up a meal with some peppers. I am watching this video at almost 10 PM and it has me drooling, but it's too late to eat now. I'll ask my wife to watch this video and then prepare some burritos for us to chow down on. I eat bean burritos and bean tacos at Taco Bell an average of once a week. I learned from an employee that they don't use lard in the beans (they used to quite some time ago). I wish they had whole wheat tortillas. Being mostly a vegetarian I find it difficult to eat out when I am on the run. That's why I use the drive thru at Taco Bell. But most fast food joints sell nothing but garbage. Thanks for your willingness to share these great recipes. I am going to look on the Internet to see if I can find some free recipes of yours. My wife and I are fledgling vegetarians but we are in our 60s, and it is not easy to leave off meat after using it for so many years. Your videos on TH-cam are a real blessing to us.
I had this for dinner last night, and man was it good.
Been following you guys for 40 years! and just love what you've given to the world. (I see the parrot you had back then) :)
Great video! I watched the whole video and it's very helpful. Mary M. takes you through food prep in a very easy way, while John M. gives valuable commentary. Highly recommended!
aww this was great and you can genuinely see the love and respect that they have for one another
I'm not finding the absence of meat to be all that difficult. WAY less diarrhea. I'm excited to get going on plant based whole food and rice foods.
Me too! Two weeks on and I haven't had any cravings for meat. I did not expect that.
I recently ordered both of Mary's recipe DVDs ,as a set. I highly recommend the set. They are professionally filmed and are of excellent quality. I noticed one viewer complained that this You Tube clip you are watching was not very clear. If that bothers you, don't worry, because her DVDs are oh high quality and are excellent. In both DVDs, Mary takes you step by step as she prepares over 40 of her best recipes. John also appears before each recipe and shares much of his knowledge about his High Starch Diet. The two make a great team and I promise you will be totally entertained while being educated. John has posted a link to the top of this page to lead you to Mary's DVD's. Be sure and check them out
A wonderful couple, thanks.
Conscious kindness plus sustainable wisdom. Thank you very much. I will never forget either of you and the extraordinary examples you set.
Following dr mcdougal for many years
Like the idea of the sprouts on top. That looks so good.
Your website is so informative, and the people on the forum are responding to this newbie's questions very quickly. I especially enjoyed your podcast interview with Dr. Atkins from some years ago. It says a lot about your diplomatic ability, holding a respectful conversation with him, being "diametrically opposed" to your view, as you said.
Change is hard until we want it. I worked in cardiology, and I smoked. I tried to quit, and it was horribly hard. One day I was paged to do an EKG, and I went to a ward where there were a bunch of old men. When I looked around, I could see some of them were smoking cigarettes through their tracheotomies. It was so horrific I couldn't believe my eyes. Nicotine was the hardest thing I've ever had to give up. But that gave me the desire. And it wasn't long before I was clean. Meat? Trivial.
You two are the coolest. Thanks for sharing the health wealth... long and healthy life to you. :)
Insted of the slow cooker, we use a pressure cooker, or "olla espress" as my Mexican wife calls it. The beans are done in about 15 mins.
I use a pressure cooker too. It depends on the cooker, but mine are done in 4 minutes, not counting time to come up to pressure (so yeah, probably 15 all together).
Since we started eating the bean burritos my husband has added fresh guacamole, tofu sour cream or homemade plant based cheeses, and then smothered them in homemade vegan chili.... yum!
they are perfect *.* the peacefullness and love in their relationsship just amazes me
Great old video of the McDougalls. I love it!
I just found your site. Very interesting. It does make a lot of sense after I watched many of your videos. I decided to pickup your book The Starch Solution to learn more. Wish there were more recipe videos!!!!! I quite enjoyed watching Mary prepare her recipe.
you can also use kombu (japanese or korean seaweed/kelp) when cooking it! those two tips are traditional asian ways of preparing beans :)
Good for you Fred! I'm eating a lot of potatoes and they are very satisfying, no oil of course. I'm shooting for 20 lbs myself.
Gosh, that just made my mouth water!!! I'm going to get a slow cooker today!! thanks for this video!!!!
I've been following McDougall's diet for two years, the best thing i ever did. want to stay out of the hospital, follow this man's advise. thanks john.
Thank you so much for sharing your awesome and delicious recipe Mary MCDOUGAL WOW thank you so much Dr McDougall and MARY MCDOUGAL for all you do to help US get healthy
This is so helpful. Can u share more cooking demos?
"Can u share more cooking demos?"
No. Because they don't know how to cook. Seriously. I have a couple of McD DVDs and have watched many TH-cams and they really don't know much about cooking or food or safe cooking practices.
This is from McDougall made easy practical . 14 demonstrations on the dvd . There is another one that is McDougall made easy irresistible . 14 demonstrations . 1 Dvd is about 24 on the McDougall web site . if you buy both its 34 dollars for 28 demos with little health talks . I just ordered it for my self .
What is 34 dollars for you and your family . It is barely the cost of a pill . For practical , moral , healthy , delish and cheap food .
A Hashem I'm getting it, thanks
+Pete Johnstone : Really? In what way?
I love this it’s real life thnk you Mum and Dr please have a good morning in Gods blessings.
It sure would be so awesome Mary MCDOUGAL if you did MORE of your YUMMY delicious RECIPES
Yes!! Sprouts! SO glad to see you putting those living sprouts on your yummy burrito. A gluten free or organic corn tortilla would be better for those with gluten intolerance or those who avoid wheat for health reasons. This would be a great video for my parents as I'm trying to show them how easy it is to be vegan and not feel deprived--so thank you, thank you!!!
Peace & Raw Health,
Elizabeth
Haha! Yes I do use oil very sparingly, just a drop to start them off then they sweat in their own moisture. In the Mcdougall recipes it always says to use a little veg broth. I avoid pouring oil on food and fried food but I don't worry about using a tiny amount in cooking.
The first time I tried to cook beans in a pressure cooker when I was transitioning I used too little water, it was a mess!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I have come so far since then 😊
For those too lazy to use a crockpot, you can use canned beans and blend half the can then cook together on the stove with the other half. I find this tastes really good and is super quick to do. My favourite bean to use is red kidney or pinto, probably red kidney as theyre a bit sweeter.
Do I understand correctly that you cook the blended and unblended beans together?
@@aloveofsurf No, use pre-cooked canned beans and blend cold with water, spices and sugar. So blend 2 cans of pre-cooked kidney, pinto or black beans and save a third of 1 can to put in whole in the pan. Then heat the blended beans with the whole beans in the pan until very hot and to the right consistency. This is the quickest way to eat tasty refried beans without having to cook your own for hours. Blending them with spices brings out the flavour better than just using canned beans without blending I find.
Oohww I’m so grateful, love you mum
Wonderful, thanks for the lesson. I didn't know you can make beans for burritos so easily!!
I’m going to do this tomorrow!!!!
Thanks for sharing! I would just soak the beans before cooking them.
Love how much sense this video makes!
love it! going to start my slow cooker right now, thanks for the recipe... :)
You look amazing Dr McDougall, great for your age, so healthy and young. Thankyou so much for teaching us and sharing your knowledge. ❤
Just made this using corn tortillas and cilantro added. Very hearty and filling
Just made this myself and it was awesome. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing.
this is adorable im gonna start making these now
Yummy !! Thanks for posting. You two are the best !
Thank you very much for this video.
...would be funny if Mary said, "and, after you add the sprouts, put your choice of beef, chicken or lamb"...she pauses, "just kidding"
I'm really looking forward to making this! Yum, yum, yum!
Thanks! I'm a new convert as well as new in the kitchen. This video definitely helped.
Lllama a yyooggiii. Yoogiiii
Very interesting to peer into the McDougall household to see how to eat healthy. Thanks for the clinic!
I make the beans in the instapot, 28 minutes. I add the beans to rice in a pan and add a packet of taco seasoning. Add this to the tortilla shells with veggies, delicious.
Do you soak them first?
@@Smuggler169 no. Just put the beans in and put an inch of water over the top of them and then cook for 35 mins. Some beans are a little less but 35 works perfect for black beans
@@swimbait1 wonderful! I will give that a try. Thank you.
@@Smuggler169 did you try it yet? I just put some more in to cook just now and it made me wonder if you tried it.
@@swimbait1 yes I did try it! thank you! The beans turned out great. I made burritos or I ate them with white rice. Delicious.
So I watched this and afterwards I grabbed a bag of kidney beans, was washing them and found a little rock! I had no idea they were in there!
Oh yeah. You have to be careful. Input my beans in a metal strainer and rinse them out. The clumps of "dirt" that break apart and wash away where more times than not a rotten bean.
I stick with canned beans. No salt. Rinse well.
I love it I love it I love it. Thank you guys
I cook 3 lbs. of beans every weekend, and that's lunch for the following week. I add garlic, onions and veggies though and make it into more of a soup.
Use corn tortillas that are treated with lime for calcium rich tortillas.
The first time I watched this, I didn't even notice that chicken sized parrot sitting in the corner behind Dr. Mcdougall.
Now I'll have to watch again lol! I heard Mary mention that the parrot wouldn't eat John's oatmeal, but only hers, because she puts brown sugar on it.
Wow!! Looks delicious. Looks simple to make too.
That's the way to go! Homemade salsa is amazing!
Beautiful meal. One small cooking tip -you can soak the beans overnight in the fridge if need be. Reduces cooking time dramatically.
Great recipe! I want to try it soon. Thank you.
Thanks and Blessings!!! I'll be needing some Jolly-Penno's!
I am a groupie! Thank you for this, I think I will make these for my family! :)
Wow! Just made this and love them! So healthy, easy and delicious. My meat eating husband just gobbled it up too. Thank you John and Mary.
Would love more vids with Mary cooking please
made this and had for dinner, everyone liked it!
I have made this great recipe often and I usually add sliced boiled potato to it also.
thanks. Yes, I've been using the sprouted corn tortillas. I just would like to make homemade .
Thanks man , i really appreciate you taking the time to answer!
peace
Im glad I inspired you to try it out.
YOU 2 ARE FABULOUS AND AMAZING
There's a nice sprouted corn tortilla sold now by Food for Life...I bought them at Whole Foods in the freezer section, just fyi.
I live in a small town with not many options and the only ones I find are Ezekiel, also in the freezer section. They are rustic. I like them, but they don't imitate the finely ground flour ones you see Mary using. Maybe on the internet.
corn is a GMO product eh...
I'm making these! They look yummy. Thanks!
Unfortunately most the restaurants put bacon or lard in their beans sometimes sausage. Even the Vegan places around here use too much Fat in their recipes. When I ask they always say "oh well it's the good fat". I don't eat out anymore, not for the time being as I am regaining my health.
Try to find a wheat burrito that doesn't have interesterified soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil and/or palm oil. I've taken to only using the minimal ingredient (corn, lime, water) corn tortillas. They're smaller, but that's okay.
One person I know, contacted a restaurant that makes their own tortillas from flour and water, basically...no preservatives. She simply negotiated with that owner, to make and sell her some each week.
@@MrDarrylR ... what sbout Ezekial?
@@smallfootprint2961 Ezekiel bread is a very good option. Just remember its sold in the freezer section because it doesn't have the ingredients/additives that make other store breads shelf stable. I keep a couple loafs in my freezer, for when I'm too lazy to make breakfast.
@@MrDarrylR your post was about the fat/oil in tortillas. Just suggesting that the whole food Ezekiel tortillas might fill the bill. I know they do for me, and flourless, which also suits me.
Thanks again! That's great advice and I can surely use it!
Wao, they are one of the best couple I've ever seen!
Oh man im glad my baby makes the soups and buy them at Albertsons
Nice video and good advice. Dried beans are very easy to cook in a slow cooker, but it helps if you use ones that aren't too old. I once fixed a package of pintos that were several years old, and after 12 hours on the stove, they were still fairly hard!
Helps to soak overnight first.
A simple solution is balsamic vinegar.
A nice alternative, albeit requiring preparation, is using soy yogurt as a base & adding various spices/lemon juice to make dressings. Tzatziki (yum!) & variations (especially using pureed cucumber as a base) offer a plethora of options.
Also, salsas & all of the myriad possible variations on a theme (hummus and variations) work well too.
Like the video, try Mex or Chinese as a starting point. Diced/pureed tomato, cucumber, garlic, beans etc are easy bases
Yummy 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Yes! One needn't make this too complex.
A simple healthy breakfast is old fashion oats, 1-2T cinnamon, (raisins opt.), & after cooking add sliced banana, & ~1T ground flax seeds, water (or a non fat unsweetened rice milk substitute If needed - I don't). Add whole fruit such as an apple, kiwi, mixed berries, etc. & you are good to go. Depending upon your schedule & habits, you might even consider a lrg salad of greens or a cuc/tomato style salad w/ balsamic vin or a soy yogurt base dressing.
Great info. Please tell me what to do with Red Beans causes lots of bloating?
Excellent video
A common question. My understanding is that you use the whole green leafy & colored vegies as a foundation...as much as you like (note the LOW caloric density!). Add a piece or two of fruit (limit/moderate the sugar intake). Now, if you require additional caloric intake, simply modify the above by adding starches - whole beans, rice, corn, grn beans, quinoa, etc. until you are full & have satisfied the necessary caloric requirements. More starches if you are losing wt, or less if you are gaining
Looks delicious!
The wheat tortillas often have a little fat added. The soft corn do not. The calories from fat listed on the package is only that found naturally in the grain.
Brown Rice is one of the best treatments for viruses the flu and sore throats. Brown Rice and Bananas.
aww the parrot :)
You two look the picture of health!
