Dr. Garth Davis, MD: Dr. Davis was a recent guest speaker at the McDougall Advanced Study Weekend in Santa Rosa, CA. Dr. Davis is a bariatric surgeon who runs The Davis Clinic for Surgical and Medical Weight Loss. He is the medical director for weight loss surgery at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Hospital and an assistant professor of surgery at The University of Texas Health Science Center. He was featured in TLC's docu-series "Big Medicine', and is the author of "The Expert's Guide To Weight Loss Surgery." Most recently he has combined his many years of experience working with people trying to lose weight, with his extensive research into diet, to write "Proteinaholic"
Dr Garth Davis' research changed my life, I was 23, overweight and blood pressure so high i'm at risk of a stroke because all i ate was chicken and beef thinking i need to get all the protein in the world. It's total BS after nearly 10 months of being plant based I've lost about 4-5 stone and I'm now training 5 days a week weight lifting and boxing. Thank you Dr Davis
I'm a born again vegetarian. Now I'm more leaning towards vegan diet. Plant based protein way better than animal based protein. I'm getting healthy and also loving my cultural foods and reducing dairy items.
What an amazing doctor!! Wish more doctors would listen to what he has to say.
As a long time vegan I never had anyone ask me about protein until I moved to the US. I work out 5 days a week and all the fitness advice keeps shoving eating so much protein
Love dr Garth and dr mcdougall! Most sane doctors out there!
KRISTI BETH..........YOU ARE INSANE.
don't forget Dr Neal Barnard also.He is very intelligent and confident when tearing apart the meat industry.
And Dr. Michael Greger, for the love of God!
...and Dr. Milton Mills.
Don't forget Dr. Esselstyne, the heart disease hero
I have had just the experience he talks about. I was underweight. Told to eat more protein (plant based). But i was so obsesses with eating as much protein as i could and then going no cant eat fruit it doesn't have enough protein AND i got nowhere, didn't gain anything i was too stressed! Soon i woke up to this fact and just started to eat a full range plant based diet again and not think about protein and what do you know, my weight is back to normal.
It's ironic, because everybody tells you to eat more protein to gain weight, and if you want to lose weight, you need to eat more protein. That doesn't make sense... The same thing can't have to opposite outcomes
Finally a real doctor with logical sense and morals.
I lost a dear friend due to kidney failure. Years earlier she had undergone bariatric surgery, lost the weight but because of not changing her diet she eventually regained unwanted pounds. Unfortunately she began meal replacement with years of drinking Diet Pepsi and continued to consume it even after needing double knee replacement and later being put on dialysis Tragically no one in the medical profession ever spoke to her about nutrition and how it related to any of her health maladies.
Hopefully we will be wise enough to apply the knowledge Dr Davis is giving us. Peace💚
I exercise 3 days weekly, weight training, ride my bike and am vegan. I tested his hypothesis and it's absolutely correct. You get plenty of great nutrition from greens, beans, onion and mushrooms.....and everything else that is good in the vegan way of life. I started at 385 in Sept of 16 and am down to 270 as of today. 10/15/17. it's a journey to be sure....and build those good habits up.
You lost 115? What was your caloric intake, especially the carbs and proteins that you ate daily? I have been on it since August and only have lost 30lbs.
jootg22 Calories don't matter much if you are vegan.. You missed the point about protein in the video and it's all about the workouts and overall being active, like walking instead of getting a bus etc.
I didn't miss the point. There are so many different and conflicting sites, peer reviewed journals, experts and etc, What I wanted to know is how did you approach and gain such a drastic weight loss. I am an active person, but weak due to another illness, but I am slowly getting stronger. I am also in sports medicine... so I wanted to hear what you did, nothing more, nothing less. Thanks for answering the caloric & protein amount, but if you eat too many calories, you will still gain weight. I am just trying to find a balance, since I am a baby vegan. Just started and really want to hear from as many people as I can to garner a plan for myself.
@jootg22 6 pounds a month seems (to me, anyway) like a healthy, sustainable loss of 1.5 pounds per week. Congrats on your accomplishment! You may want to check out "Wo and Behold" here on YT (if you haven't already). He's lost a lot also (120+) and is an engaging and responsive guy...maybe he will have some answers for you?
What is the source of this protein obsession? Everywhere I turn I see labels boasting more protein in every conceivable product. I can't help but wonder if this isn't being perpetuated by the animal agriculture industry in order to recover any losses they've had from people eating less meat and dairy in the last 10-15 years.
Myles Raymond I guess it can be due to those wanting to gain muscle mass they have been taught that if you want to grow In the gym you need to feed your body more protein so if one has 124lbs of lean muscle mass the old school thought is that you would need to consume 124 grams of protein each day to maintain that muscle and if you want to pack on more pounds you need to consume more. All of that is archaic thinking and needs to be rectified
What! Are you OCD! What loss! People eat meat like crazy! Theres no loss! Where do you come up with this b.s.!!!
Individuals are consuming more meat and dairy, but society as a whole is moving away from eating animal products. That means that more people are not eating animal products anymore, and that outweighs individuals eating more.
In the last 10-15 years the production of meat has become cheaper, so if the consumption has been the same every year for the past 10-15 years, then the meat industry should be making more money. BUT when you look at the profits, meat and dairy companies are making less money, and the number of animals slaughtered every year has been decreasing. On the other hand, meat substitutes (veggie burgers, tofurkeys, etc) has gone up, and so has the demand for alternative milks (almond, soy, rice, coconut, cashew, etc.)
Hope that makes sense :)
When you look at the word "protein" itself it comes from "protos" and "proteios" which translates into "first" and "primary." Scientists found it and thought it was an amazing scientific discovery so they named it protein to emphasize its importance. You add a brilliant marketing and lobbying campaign to that and you got yourself a protein obsessed society that is dying.
It started with Atkins getting super popular, and at the same time meat and dairy industry consultants were hired to be on the board of the FDA. When the FDA started increasing the recommended daily values of animal products, that had to be advertised. So schools taught kids to eat more meat and dairy, companies advertised that it's FDA approved to eat more meat and dairy products. Then leftovers of the dairy production kept increasing, which is where whey protein came from, so to make extra money from leftovers they needed to advertise the importance of whey protein. The easiest way to do that is to get a super popular and successful athlete to endorse whey protein. BOOM!
At the same time the meat and dairy industry was lobbying the government and received subsidies to make meat and dairy products cheaper, which means more people were able to afford it, so more was sold.
They're doing fine unfortunately. But it's been an obsession since the early 20th century when it was discovered.
Crap. I just had an African-inspired stew made of three kinds of beans, sweet potato, peas, onions, in a peanut based sauce. I'm a plant based protien-aholic. Is there any hope for me? :)
Kevin Blanc Recipe or it never happened
Plant protein isn't destructive. See T Colin Campbell's work
Full of fiber, don't worry about it. You couldn't do any better if you tryed.
Can you tell when you've had enough? I can and then I stop. But your soup doesnt seem overly high.
Guaranteed that soup had more carbs than protein. I think Dr. Davis would approve of it.
Australian mice studies are very clear. The high protein mice live the shortest. High carbohydrate low protein low fat mice non caloric restricted live the longest. Caloric restriction for longevity actually functions through restriction of protein and fat but mostly protein restriction.
Yes the Australian study on Great Whites is back too Bud! Unfortunately all the vegans died first!
+liam harkness well sharks need seals to survive. But humans are quite different and actually need less protein than any other mammal including mice. In fact, on a caloric basis, the amount of protein cows eat is too high to be ideal for humans because grass is very high in protein calorically. Humans do best on low protein starchy foods. Elimination of all meat is not a natural diet for humans either but it is in fact a superior diet when B12 is supplemented. We all should take advantage of the knowledge. Look at the diets of the Blue Zones for a perspective and learn from them. You will find they eat a mostly starchy staple diet, vegetables, some fruit, very little oil, fish, meat, dairy.
+The Artificial Society when you have been working in the field longer you'll realize that it's not about the ratios of macronutrients but more about the quality. I work with Olympic athletes, power lifters as well as stroke and cancer patients and their diets are all completely different and based upon the individual and their daily routine not some FDA approved pyramid wall chart. The Blue Zone research you mentioned works for exactly that reason, all the food is organic and locally grown in nutrient rich soil so it goes from the ground to the table on the same day. When you go to the grocery store for your fruits and vegetables be aware that even if the produce is GMO free it was grown in poor soil, picked early, artificially ripened and is covered in pesticides. When you understand that there is no healthy source of go to macronutrients left you have to resort to growing your own and gaining access to nutrient rich foods including meat and dairy from healthy animals.
+liam harkness first, the people in general are not suffering from diseases of deficiency but rather diseases of excess. I appreciate your conservative attitude but I suggest to you that there are two divergent an incompatible goals. One goal is athletic performance and sexual attributes that primarily correlates to strength and leanness. The second goal is longevity that actually results in a slightly different body profile. For longevity, a high carbohydrate low protein low fat diet is essential. The human body is very well adapted to living on smaller levels of micronutrients and in fact benefits from less. But caloric intake is necessary to maintain lifestyle and emaciation is detrimental when you have proper diet. My guess is you will not agree with my assertions which is fine but I suggest to you to keep an ear out to the science of vegan diets and maintain an open mind. Athletic diets is more complex issue but investigate some vegetarian like diets, Serena, Djokievicz
+The Artificial Society it's not that I don't understand you its just that it's not interesting. Sweeping generalizations on macronutrient ratios is boring and while I don't generally disagree I have seen my fair share of vegans with conditions like fibromyalgia, neurological dysfunction and even cancer too. Let us say that we look at nutrition at different levels from different perspectives.
You need more subscribers. Please put yourself out there more. Excellent advice.
fucking amazing. I am definitely reading this book. whole foots plant based vegan FTW !!!!
whole foots???? fruit or foods ?? WHAT WRONG WITH YOU, TOO MUCH PROTEIN IN YOUR BRAIN ?? HA?? YOU HEARD ME...AND LEARN TO SPELL
@hamPile WATCH YOUR FUCKING LANGUAGE, OK, SCOOTER.
I fucks with Dr. Garth Davis, for real. His excerpts in What The Health are what turned me from a massive carnivore, into a straight vegan... cold turkey after one documentary viewing. Been going strong with it for seven weeks now. And it's EASY, once you take into account the dangers of meat in one's diet.
What the fuck is so amazing that despite all the decades bodybuilder, MMA and boxers have been cutting carbs to make weight is'nt proof! Oh this guy! Please....How in the hell is this guy amazing! The fact you just say it and then give no reason to his radical coolness leads me by deduction that all of this is scripted for the weak hive minded child like people! Come on dude! Nobody is buying this pre-K mountain high bullshit! Please! Stop disrespecting people!
infonator1 what are you talking about? This guy sees patients everyday and practices these beliefs and gets results. He even has cancelled surgery because his patients lost enough weight. He has even done triathalons with his former patients after they went plant based. Seriously research before you make foolish statements. What does that have to do with mma fighters?
Thank you Dr Garth!!!!!! This book needs to be mandatory reading for docs, teachers, parents, kids...
Can a bariatric patient be a Vegan post surgery and still get all of the unique nutritional requirements we need from food? I had surgery 12 years ago; I lost 150 lbs and regained 70 lb. in the last 8 years. My Bari doctor says eat more protein but that didn't work. I can't eat as much as he wants me too. 😔 I have recently lost 15 lbs by eating whole foods and really am considering becoming Vegan because frankly meat just hurts to eat. Please help.
+GodsSteph A properly planned strictly vegetarian diet should give you all the nutrition you need. Consulting a professional dietitian with expertise in vegetarian diets would be advisable. In the meantime, these sites may be helpful:

You will loose more weight on a vegan diet. It will be a better choice for you. I am on vegan diet and my glucose levels are getting better every day.
Thank you Doc Garth!! So informative. 😆
When people say "I'd go vegan, but I like to eat" I just laugh at them and ask them if they think I hate food. They see me eat, I enjoy my food. So they debunk themselves.
Eat to live not live to eat that is my motto
Spot on.
very proud of you so much...❤❤❤
I have missed you so much Garth.
Brilliant!
Ozi frumoasa și multă putere de munca și multe realizari
I love this guy. Have got much respect. im not overweight. Am vegan tho. I gained respect for him when I watched him get jumped by "tha doctors "✊
5:14 ^^^this!!! I was a proteinaholic and was tracking EVERYTHING....now I just eat whatever moves me (WFPB, no oil) and I've lost a total of 25 lbs this year, so far.
Bumble Bee great!
Read his book Proteinaholic. Loved it.
I also read Dr Mac Doughal,s book starch solution and loved it. I started eating rice, potatoes with legumes and some fruits and veggies and a handful of nuts and seeds. Lots of greens. We try our best to no use processed oils. Instead we use herbs and spices and our food is amazing. We no longer obsess about protein, instead we eat more calories and don’t gain weight and we feel amazing. We make different cuisines, such as, Indian, Asian, Persian. Just modify the recipe and substitute with legumes or organic tofu. This kind meals are so delicious that I have zero cravings for animal products. Even my kids are proud vegans and it’s so nice to see their friends being interested and asking questions about our diet. I keep talking about how this diet is kind to our bodies and to animals and the environment. They care so much for the animals that even during birthdays and Halloween’s we buy only vegan stuff.
Amazing
Nice talk definitely causing momentum into plant based diet. He is in a mission to promote his visions that he came to planet earth to begin with to fulfill his purpose for this life. 😊 way to go path.
Congratulations and may God give you many years of life and health
Yes this is the best
NO JULIA, YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN....... I AM THE BEST !!! LETS GET THAT STRAIGHT, OK ?? GET IT? GOT IT? GOOOD!!!
Amen!
He's very well educated I love him
I really want to know what that phytonutrient deficiency is
What do you say to all those who say Animal Proteins Are Complete, But Plant Proteins Are Not. In total, there are around 20 amino acids that the human body uses to build proteins. These amino acids are classified as either essential or non-essential. Your body can produce non-essential amino acids. However, it cannot produce essential amino acids, which need to be obtained through your diet. For optimal health, your body needs all the essential amino acids in the right ratios. Animal protein sources, such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy, are similar to the protein found in your body.
All plant foods contain all essential amino acids in varying degrees which is why you are meant to eat a diversity of plant foods. Eating a variety of plant foods is way better for your health than eating meat because you don’t risk side any of the effects of eating too much meat…. things like heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
@@ChaniRidley whys the human body digestive system exactly like a pigs, yet a pig is ominivore and eats meat
@@davidlong5066 a pig? Where did you get that from? It's most like Apes.
Me encanta este señor como profesional 👌👌👏👏👏👏
I absolutely love love meat! But I will be the 1st to admit that we as a society consume way too much meat and from unclean sources. Less meat is the way and a ton of veggies n fruits and grains
Thank you for this.. great stuff! The whole 'protein thing' is extremely frustrating.. why can't people see the obvious things like some our biggest animals that have walked on this planet all quite happily survived on a plant based diet! :-)
Awesome guy!
when Americans do what they always do they will get what they always get - good quote
Such an interesting doctor! Thanks for this video.
What about for preformance? Dont I need to keep a nitrogen balance with protein?
If you go on a tour and tell them you are vegan often they only think in terms of salad as if that is all you eat. I have been in 5 star hotels and the very mention of the word vegan throws them completely. Unable to produce a vegan soup, I was given a salad instead of the soup which all the other guests on our tour party received. I mean a vegan soup is the most difficult thing in the world to produce. I am no cook but I can knock up a delicious meal just consisting of potatoes and steamed vegetables. In my Instant Pot it takes less than 30 minutes to do.
Parabéns sr dr garth davis 🎉
I've been wondering for a while... What if I workout 6 days a week, I want to gain strength and build muscle? Im a healthy vegan and pretty lean. I'm thinking generally the advise of getting too much protein would be for someone more sedentary? Thanks Dr. Davis.
YOU NEED TO WORKOUT 3X PER DAY, 7 DAYS PER WEEK..........AND UP YOUR PROTEIN !!! REMEMBER 20% CARBS AND REST PROTEIN...........TRY THAT, THAT WILL GET YOU BACK ON TRACK
why don't you look up dr Robert Cheeke vegan bodybuilder , he could advise better on body building the vegan way , he also agrees we do not need a tonne of protein to get the job done.
hahaha - when's she supposed to live ?
Love him!
traduzir para português dr garth davis sou tua fã e moro no Brasil 🇧🇷
I am going to have a protein nightmare now ..... :p
VEGAN SMOKIN BANANA PEELS..........LISTEN !! YOU ARE A NIGHTMARE !!! OK REALIZE THAT
💚
Could listen to him talk all day 👌
So I went to sainsburys this morning and saw ice cream which was boasting about it is high in protein - what the actually fuck...it’s fucking ice cream!
I have seen what lack of protein does, we may be over eating it, not enough is just as bad. Your body will start consuming itself without all 3 macros. I have first hand experience when I cut out protein myself, in 6 months I went from bench pressing 300lbs to 180lbs. We do over consume it, but have your body start wasting is not good, people do starve to death in the world.
If I may, please keep in mind, when one is eating a sufficient amount of calories through whole plant foods (and fungi) it is impossible to not get enough protein. Especially, since essential protein is only made by plants.
kwashiorkor is not a disease for concern. As one has mentioned, people (and wildlife) are starving to death due to a lack of food. Thereby, eating a whole food plant based diet is the greatest act one may make for all life in earth.
If I could put more likes to this video, I would.
YA, BUT RON.... WE DONT LIKE YOU, OK ??
Hola Dr. Garth Davis a mi me hace bajar mi azúcar tanto que me he asustado eso que dice es lo que estoy comiendo sin ningún problema y no extraño las proteínas al contrario muy contenta porque el azúcar está ok mil gracias y seguiré siendo yo vegana porque si quiero yo me falta superar dos cosas todavía para ser Vergara pero carne no como de ningún animal.
🙏
LINDO ❤
if you use your body, you need protein.
Amino acids are the building blocks of the body. Many whole non-processed [for live enzymes and compounds] vegetables and fruit provide amino acids
Please research "Phytochemicals target cancer stem cells", that is how important plant-based is for mitochondrial cellular health
@@mildreddavis1684 you can get the best of both worlds if you eat the good plants made in good soil, and healthy animals living happy/natutlral lives. Soil is the most important thing for food on this planet.
Que pena que no sepa ingles
how do u build muscle with low protien
Vineeth Seelan by eating a calorically surplus
human growth is at its height during the first year of life , and we live primarily on Breast milk during this time , if you look at the protein ratio it is just 1 -2% so normal fruits and veg contain way more than this level bananas for example are 4% , green leafy veg more and spirulina most ...eat widely and included tofu, nuts and seeds and you'll be fine
Most people (if any) do *not* do well on a high starch diet
Talking out care and not dollar signs 👍🏻😎
I will buy your book. Thank you for writing it.
Dr Davis: "The problem is that Im too good a surgeon".
👏👏👏
Is it easy in US to actually do 100% plant based diet? Look at our food culture..
Alam Mahmood it's very easy
Protein= obesity? Yay we figured it out we're blaming protein for overeating!
❤
Show me a vegan bodybuilder who dosnt take protein powder .
omg what a profound statement lol .. whats your point champ?
❤🇧🇷
Like GD hasn't becpme obsessed with the death cult diet
600 pound life...Dr. tells them to cut out carbs & 800 calories of protein a day.
ACTUALLY ,FOR 600 LBS. YOU NEED 1000 CALORIES OF PROTEIN PER DAY, MINIMUM. 1 APPLE. 1 ORANGE. THATS IT. TRY THAT FOR 1 YEAR, AND THAT SHOULD GET YOU DOWN TO 550 LBS..... THEN GET YOUR STOMACH STAPLED AND GO TO A WEIGHT LOSS CAMP FOR 1 YEAR........THAT SHOULD GET YOU DOWN TO 500 LBS. ..AFTER THAT, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION.

imádom
If I showed this guy my diet 150g + of fat, he'd wonder how I've got a six pack
Curtis 7. How do you get 150g of protein? Beans everyday? Protein shakes everyday?
@@dartfather never use protein shakes. 200g of goat will provide 40g of protein and that's half a meal. When you have 3 a day.
@@dartfather use them if you want but you just make rich people richer buying things like protein shakes. when all the protein you need is made in nature for free not in a lab by money.
do low carb high fat, and this guy will go broke.
how much protein you eat depends on your physical needs,,listen to your body,we are all genetically different.
@BARRYBONDS SF Giants yes we do. and the cells of those organs use protein at different rates,based on our metabolism. we all don't have the same metabolism Mr Barry Bonds. there are essential amino acids,and essential fatty acids,we need them to live,,no where in this universe are there essential carbohydrates,the body does not need them,,our liver produces all the carbs we need every day,through a process called gluconeogenisis
He looks a little chunky...too many carbs!
He works a LOT
BandB1111111 youre delusional...check him out- his body is fiiiiine and healthy.
Disregard the doctor and eat red Meats and oils. Avoid refined carbohydrates and sugars.
Aha..a Medical Doctor giving out dietary advice? No Animal protein? We have teeth for meat eating, and our stomachs produce acid to breakdown meat, so this MD still promotes vegan diets? Is it allowed that an MD doles out dietary advice? Conflicting interests here..folks! Nice double chin to boot!
youre delusional.
Do your teeth look like the teeth of dogs or bears? No. Eat only meats for a year and you'll die of scurvy and nutrient deficiency. Eat only plants and you'll live till 90-100.
Our acid in our stomach is much less acidic than a carnivores
You realize that if his advice is true, that means that people don't need surgery, don't need to come back to him and don't have to rely on regular visits to the doctor to get meds prescribed that he's losing a ton of money.
It would be smarter for him to promote something that brings him repeat customers, meaning people that are sick and rely on prescribed meds that need to be "readjusted" regularly.
I'm 24, I've always been normal/ skinny, and even I have a double chin sometimes. I've seen skinny men suddenly get a double chin when they're wearing a suit and tie ;) It's like magic
his speciality is in obesity and the surgical interventions that can be done , the fact that he is basically reducing his own monetary gains in exchange for the patients' health by giving them the knowledge to help themselves says a hell of a lot about his ethics .
This guy got schooled by a white guy from New Zealand with 14k subs, and obviously a lot more knowledge. Bart kay is the man.
I have had just the experience he talks about. I was underweight. Told to eat more protein (plant based). But i was so obsesses with eating as much protein as i could and then going no cant eat fruit it doesn't have enough protein AND i got nowhere, didn't gain anything i was too stressed!
