Tell it, Dr MacDougall. A man years ahead of his time.
My point isnt disrespect, it is truth, this man has looked weak and frail for decades now, yet he is worshipped as a health guru, if you dont believe your own eyes you are a delusional
@@zamfirtoth6441 bet your eyes can also detect if one has health complications just by looking on the outside. You should be the next Theranos! *Clap clap*
@@zamfirtoth6441 He had a stroke at 18 y/o. Not a great start to begin with, but he's still alive, so that is a good testament to his diet.
This is the most obvious, easy to make, tasty, satisfying and healing diet - 🌷❤️
When I followed his eating principles for 3 consecutive days, I was astounded to see I was slimming down already.
True words! "Profit driven misinformation" is daily coming from both the food industry and the medical industry. Thank you Dr for your honesty. This is the first time I've heard a doctor publicly utter those words. I'm impressed!! And yes, it is the unwary consumer that suffers. How the ones who are lying/profiting can sleep at night is beyond me. Not cool.
Thank God I found Dr. McDougall in 2016, I was a fat vegan living on a vegan junk & peanut butter diet.
Lost 50 lbs.! Finally @ goal weight, it's been a journey!
Peanut butter is great. As long as it is peanut butter without hydrogenated oil and sugar and other garbage added to it. Just peanut butter!
@@herbbowler2461I’m contemplating making a change to this protocol since Keto has made me feel sick, after several months of meat. What is your thoughts on the healthiest way of eating? I’m so confused!!
@@Ranch-girl
I have been on a whole plant based diet for 43 years after being diagnosed with cancer. I did try keto and couldn't function.
My diet is a wide variety of whole plant foods including
Greens
Nuts and seeds
Whole grains and
Roots vegetables.
Good sources of fats and oils
Coconut oil
Olive oil
Grass fed butter
Raw fresh ground flaxseed and pumpkin seed.
No refined or chemically sprayed food.
I do eat raw honey and maple syrup.
No red meat and no dairy other than butter. Most meal contain something raw.
Today everything was raw.
Breakfast
Organic rolled oats soaked over night with a mixture of fruit butter and freshly ground flaxseed. All raw.
Lunch green salad with olive oil.
Super. A mixture of raw veggies including avocado and olive oil for dietary fat.
Tomorrow will be grain based.
Pancakes with organics whole wheat floor and oats with lots of butter. Maple syrup and raw honey and raw fruit.
Later pea soup or bean soup. With lots of veggies. Add coconut oil to the soup.
I just continue to mix it up.
In the summer. More greens.
Winter more roots vegetables.
I like baked yams once or twice a week.
I don't follow a schedule.
I have seen major fat burn with this diet when a proper exercise program is incorporated.
I hope this is of help.
Good luck.
@@herbbowler2461 OMG that’s incredible and so much discipline! Thank you for taking the time!! God bless!!
@@Ranch-girl
It's actually very easy.
I eat what i have learned to like.
43 years ago i had cancer and changed my eating habits and lifestyle. I haven't been sick or been to a doctor since. No medications
No aches or pains
No colds or flu. And i will soon be 75.
Our health is made by our choices.
Again
GOOD LUCK AND GOOD HEALTH !
Love ❤️ Dr McDougall!
I have been able to easily maintain a whole food, plant diet for almost four years now. But I do live alone and am retired. I wanted to try it sooner in life, but I lived with family members and I had to eat lunch at work and no lunchroom to store it, which left very little choices where I worked. I probably could not have done it if I still had to work and live around other family members who I taught to eat like the devil. But I want to say for those brave sick souls out there...if you try it for a week or two, you absolutely will feel the difference. If you take meds...you may want to check with a Dr. because you won't keep needing them after you eat healthy the way the good Lord intended.
Keep going, keep going , we will never be fat & sick ever again!
I am pretty much in the same position as you. Retired in Nov 2019, and knew I was going to get enormous eating the way I was if I didn't have to go to work for accountability. Well, Covid came along with obesity as a comobility. I started with Keto (bought a George Foreman grill, meat thermometers, sauces, etc) but after a few weeks of documentaries and Dr. Gregor, etc., I went WFPB. Lost 75 pounds in less than a year, eat like a pig (ONLY plants and non-processed food) in a 6 hour window. Never count calories and 1 year later I weigh exactly the same (10 pounds less than at graduation) No meds, BP 115/70, walking only exercise, will start weight training next month. My eyesight has improved. Eye doctor says it is because of the inflammation reduction (now at .6) My gums no longer bleed. I could keep on. Best thing that has happened to me in my life.
I have maintained a mostly whole plant food diet for 43 years.
I soon will be 75. Still strong and healthy. I do occasionally eat a small amount of animal protein as a treat. No dairy protein or red meat.
He didn’t live any longer than anyone else despite the diet.
so basically, capitalism is to blame for America's dietary condition, since profits are valued above all else
As displayed in everyone’s daily life! So right!
Seems so!
I suggest "greed" is to blame...
...and I envision a form of caring capitalism to Sprout 🤗
For profit health care & for profit food industry. So sad! If we changed this they would accuse us of being socialists & communists!
@@jgrysiak6566 There are only two systems, capitalism, or communism. Do you want to live under communism?
so we need to differentiate betweeen healthy and unhealthy starches, also depends on your metabolic health
Why does the doctor look unwell (around the eyes)?
It's just genes & aging, Doc's gonna be 75 in May!
Another possibility, too much starch in the diet.
This is plain opposite to what many hygienists claim.
My brother may eat fats even from animals but let him try starches: he'll wake up dizzy and mucked the next morning.
great video thanks
while I am sure some people cant do the gluten thing, I havent bought into it. I think the "roundup, glyophosphate" is why people cant handle bread, wheat. People have been eating grains for centuries..its unnatural not to. Eat the greens, sure, but not exclusively!
But you realize on a grand time scale, centuries of eating carbs thanks to agriculture isn’t really enough to morph our bodies to handle this as well as we obviously handle meat, right?
Societies that only get to eat grains have way worse health in general than meat eating societies (or balanced eating societies)
@@TheMillionDollarDropout People all over the world are eating grains daily. I dont eat meat, my body cant handle it at all. Maybe yours can cuz you eat it and have the microbiome to be able to digest it. I have not eaten meat for 51 years. I have zero plans to ever eat it again. Its not obvious to me that people handle eating meats. It is however obvious that it causes intestinal issues, cancer, clogged arteries,, etc. Any toxin that the animal had in it, is concentrated in its flesh.. I want no part of that.. many people got off the "carb" wagon a while ago. I never got on it. I dont eat a lot of grain.. a loaf of bread will be in my fridge for a month or more..
As being diabetic this is definitely not the right diet for me. With low carb I have the diabetes under control.
Right... And the bandaid is what heals the cut...
Exactly! My Mexican genes have struggled with handling sugar practically since I came out of the womb so it’s horrible that I for a very brief (thankfully) time, I became infatuated with this diet, all thanks to this doctor guy and a fitness influencer on CZcams named high carb Hannah, but one thing I noticed right away is it to high carb Hannah girl, lost a lot of weight on a high carbohydrate based diet, which is good yeah, but she had no black marks around her neck or under her arms so it’s quite obvious that her body can handle carbs, (she ate lots of pasta and bread last I remember)
In the world with diabetes and people with lots of black marks around their neck I think it’s way more likely that they’re not gonna do well on a carb starch-based diet versus something like keto. There’s a reason why I felt so lethargic at times after a meal consisting halfway of carbs like potatoes, mashed potatoes, rice, etc. my body does not get along with the sugars to that level at least. Maybe my plate is supposed to be 75% me 25% carb/vegetable. I don’t know but recently, I’ve been playing around with a ratio, and I feel pretty good all around but soon I’ll be embarking on my own CARNIVORE based diet but I have a feeling in the end I will mainly be sticking to 90% carnivore and 10% fruits with a very specific fruits like coconut pineapple etc maybe. I’m gonna have to find out which of the lowest oxalate containing fruits. I’ve always had a thing for watermelon, coconut, pineapple, honeydew etc. these are just so amazing and I feel like I should listen to my body. I have these from time to time, especially in season one boy am I glad I never got completely sucked into this starch, vegan type of diet. It’s also just really hard to even stay on it because the meals get so bland and boring and carboard-y or you end up having to pull magic rabbits out of a hat to make it taste good. I remember my favorite meal was a meal that used Alfredo pasta and blended up cashews in order to make a cashew-based vegan cream and it was so amazing but that just shows me how much my body prefers high fat but getting that fat from cashews is horrible because of the actual oxalate content in that shit not to mention the calories are really high
Imagine if we were coerced by government to eat what some expert or group thereof mandated and nothing else.
I watch and read from the experts, learn from my experiences and then make up my own plan based on what works best for me.
Encouraged by gov to eat certain foods?. I think you just discerned the USDA, AHA, ADA, and entire plant based movement! Isn't it interesting that you can fast on water and salt ONLY for some thirty to fourth days, eating no starch, no carbs, no vegetables and survive?. How do they do that? Easy! They live on their own stored body fat and the one teaspoon of glucose that the liver produces from storeFAT! As Dr Campbell likes to say,"Interesting"!
Thank you for sharing this information. My question is what about polenta which is made of yellow corn meal for diabetes? What is the impact of insulin? Thanks for taking the time to answer.
Corn is a grain and is not healthy. Meat and dairy and vegetable ois cause diabetes. Dr. Esselstyn says to eat 6 servings of greens a day. Cut out the gluten and grains too
Hi, i used to suffer from jawline acne and other hormonal issues, when I was 18 years old. I switched to a starch diet when i was 25 (thanks to Dr.McDougall's books), and since then i no longer have acne (maybe one pimple when on my period). I eat a lot of polenta, boiled corn flour made into porridge, and I have no issues with insulin as long as I keep fat to a minimum (10g of fat a day, maximum). I had a blood test last december and my insulin was normal. My fasting glucose was 80 (the parameter was between 70-100). I also eat a lot of wheat bread and wheat flour porridge, so I don't agree with eliminating gluten, unless you have proof that you have celiac disease. :) P.S. - hormonal issues are usually linked to insulin resistance, kind of like diabetes, that's why I replied to your comment, hope it helps.
Why are you posting his book in front of his face for so long post why not put it upper corners of the page?
I've said it before but it needs to be said again. Dr. Fuhrman's "Nutritarian" diet is not exclusively green and yellow vegetables. It includes fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds and a limited amount of starchy vegetables and/or whole grains. It's not super easy, true, and it's even a bit more complicated than just consuming the items listed above, but there's probably not a healthier diet on earth. Second best and a little more doable is Dr. Greger's diet.
Any vegan diet is a step in the right direction, u just have to hit & miss & find out what works best for u.
Team Nutritarian all the way here. So much more healthy and flavorful.
@@kimclark399 I'm more of a cheerleader than a team member, but I do consume about 85% Nutritarian. GBOMBS for sure (although I cook my onions).
Super easy. If it's a whole plant food eat it. If not leave it.
Eat a wide variety of all types of whole plant foods.
Make sure all meals contain more fat calories than carb calories.
If necessary add unrefined fats or oils.
SUPER EASY.
SUPER HEALTHY !
Choose chemical free when possible.
I can’t tolerate potatoes. They keep me congested and gut issues and migraines. I cannot do grains either! I can only eat fruitttt greenssss veggies chickpeas black beans veggies (not corn or potatoes), abs absolutely zero dairy or eggs. I can handle fresh fish and organic kosher meat but rarely eat meat! Sweet potatoes don’t effect me really.
Try baked Idaho potatoes, they're very starchy & digest easily!
drink water 😂😂😂😂
That's because sweet potatoes aren't really potatoes :).
Maybe you are one of those cases who should try opposite.
No, the problem still isn't meat in the american died. The problem is the massive amount of processed foods: Sugar, trans fats and seed oils, processed carbohydrates, artificial colors and flavors, preservatives. And last but not least all makros polluted with pesticides or antibiotics.
Flour products are my biggest problem!
The problem is both.
Gee!
Did those rice, corn and potato eaters also eat eggs, fish, poultry, and sheep, cattle, pigs, fruits and veggies and herbs? Why wouldn't they?
yes why wudnt they
Livestock was really just a thing in Europe in the past (maybe parts of Asia) but certainly not in America. This is why so many of the Indians died when the Europeans got there, all those diseases we brought from living in close proximity to animals taken out of their natural environment isn't something the Indians had any resistance too. Dr. Mc Gregor has a lecture from 2009 explaining this and the rise of other infectious diseases and pandemics.
Because they couldn't see or catch them and because they rot immediately. Meat and dairy cause cancer and diabetes.
@@pinkiepinkster8395 Name me 1 person who has died form eating meat or dairy and I will show you that they were consuming way too much, were obese, smoked, ate junk food, fried foods, trans fats, lived in an area with asbestos and radon levels too high or in a superfund index area, and did not keep super fit with a BMI of between 19 and 22.
@@pinkiepinkster8395 And your a health expert? Or did you just buy into the vegan propaganda bull spit studies?
Dr Mcdougal looks emaciated.
Considering he suffered a stroke at 18 years old, lost every possession he had ever owned in a 2007 house fire and is 75 years old - I think he looks fine.
I like John McDougall I think he is helped a lot of people and I think it is a good diet for good health but not for exceptional health just remember any of these diets than anybody follows what you leave out is what makes the difference people can survive on nothing but starches and some vegetables etc. but you do not thrive on it that’s why I switched to Dr. Fuhrman much better from a health standpoint but again I really like John McDougall
Dr Fuhrman says animal foods 0-2 times a week. I have tried Dr McDougall's diet and I just don't find it possible. I end up having to eat some animal foods.
❤️❤️❤️
Now: is starch good or bad?
Whole starch is good.
Yes, whole starch is good.
Potatoes good. French fries bad.
🤔 intresting .
Referring to Dr. Fuhrman‘s diet is one that relies on green and yellow vegetables exclusively is a strawman argument that’s beneath Dr. McDougall. He knows that Joel‘s diet includes beans, nuts and seeds as well as fresh fruit. Describing it just in terms of green and yellow vegetables is disparaging and inaccurate. I’m surprised that John would attempt such a thing.
I agree w/you.
I was surprised by Dr. McDougall making the under cutting statement and yes you know he is referring to Dr. Fuhrman. It sounds negative/Jealous. I don't find Dr. Fuhrman's diet difficult. I love how I feel very strong and healthy at 54. I am very often told I look like I'm in my 30's. I am happy. I am very healthy. I am not hungry, and I love the colors, varieties, and textures. This video came up I clicked on it, and I was good with the presentation and what Dr. McDougall had to say until he was completely misrepresenting the Nutritarian diet as if it was so flawed. It is not. hy would Dr. McDougall have to take jabs that way? Not cool.
I agree with you completely. My hunch as to why he did it is because Dr. Fuhrman has accused some in the wfpb arena as following "a story" rather than the science. I believe that was a jab at Dr. McDougall, in particular. Of course, it would be true. There was also a little battle recently between Dr. Greger and Dr. McDougall regarding white potatoes in the diet. There's a lot of quibbling between the "high starch/low fat" group and the "moderate starch/moderate fat" group. I'm with the latter.
I didn't realize there had been previous jabs between them.
Just a second.
I used to walk in the nature.
I have never met any grain or potatoes.
So....
How is it possible to be a starch base diet our healthy diet ?????
Very good information. 1 mistake though. Animals can make sugar out of protein. It is not very efficient though with people.
and is ok short term.
Carnivores are quit efficient at making sugar from protein.
But humans were not designed to eat meat !
It's not about what we are designed to eat but what have we adapted to at this time since everything adapts and changes. My car was not designed to run on water so If I put water in it very soon it will breakdown, but Massai only have access to mostly animal food and meat but did they die at age 20 from scurvy, constipation, kidney stones, tooth decay cancer?
@@StanDupp6371
They have been known to reach the ripe old age of 40.
We have not adapted to meat. Some people just tolerate meat and dairy better than others.
Many people do have a major problem make sugar from protein.
It's called hypoglycaemia.
1:10 My body can make sugar/glucose when needed so no need to get it from my diet
Wrong. If your body makes glucose from protein it is very toxic if done long term.
🥰
his comment on nutritarian diets (around 5:30) is so dumb lol.. why can't you eat kale, even in high amounts, AND potatoes?
Not a fan of a very low carb / keto type diet- more a balanced type diet like the Holford Low GL diet or the Zone diet- to be honest this guy (although I have heard he had a pretty traumatic event) with respect looks (although skinny) quite a lot older than his age- just wondering If this is due to a lack of healthy mono-unsaturated fat in his diet
All those groups ate meat. The Native American Indians were hunting corn on horse back with bow and arrow.
They also ate every part of the animal even the stomach with its fermented contents.
Maybe resistant starch , but starch??
Yes, unprocessed starch as found in whole grains, potatoes, and other starchy vegetables. Resistant starch is in foods such as beans (legumes), green bananas, and cooked chilled potatoes. We need a variety of plant fiber to have a healthy microbiome.
?????????
How does this help diabetics??
It's impossible to be diabetic on a whole food plant diet. Starch satiates you and keeps you satisfied for a long time. Just don't use a ton of salt or sugar or oils on your foods. There are plenty of good spices.
@@terrycalderwood3480 Excuse me
How will starch prevent sugar spikes????
@@antonellaprovenzano270 when you stop eating fats like dairy and meat your body adjusts. You would have to look at more scientific people to explain it on a cellular level. A good place to start is with Dr. Jason Fung. He explains things from a hormone perspective, which includes insulin, which explains how the body works. Careful, you may learn the benefits of fasting as well...
@@terrycalderwood3480 No need fir sarcasm……
I’m get the fasting aspect, I don’t get the starch diet
@@antonellaprovenzano270 It is cooked whole foods. Sweet potatoes, I love red potatoes and green beans, rice, rice noodles, spaghetti with banza noodles or chickpea noodles, squash, and all other fruits and veggies. I prefer cooked starches.
I do not like the tone of this video segment in general nor the cheapshot at Dr. Furnam’s Nutritarian approach or the vague nastyness toward the spectrum of vegetarians. I wish that he would have taken a different tone encouraging people to incorporate more starchy wholefoods into their diet.
What about the benefits of starchy vegetables like beets, butternut squash, turnips, carrots, sweet potatoes and peas? No one truly eats only corn, potatoes, bread or rice.
I like Dr. Gregor’s Daily Dozen and Furman’s G-BOMBs and try to eat accordingly: A wide variety of beans, greens, colorful veggies and fruits, mushrooms, berries, chia flax, walnuts, green tea, alliums, and starchy veggies, whole grain bread, quinoa, brown rice, and yes some beer and dessert.
McDougall does also recommend those foods you've listed. Beets and carrots are less calorie dense than the other ones. They are still healthy but the more dense starches will satiate more. Furhman has also criticized McDougall is just the same way so it's fair for him to do the same. But both McDougall and Furhman like each other even though they disagree. There is a video of them talking to each other one on one that is only a few years old.
@@sydneysmith1580 I hear you and saw that video. The tone though as if someone eats only Kale. But I did add a heaping basket of greens to my Mujadara today.
What's McDougal opinion on the scientific evidence that we are fruit eaters?
Why would you ask what someones opinion is if you claim it is scientific? A human is not a frugivore.
Fruit is seasonal.
When fruit is in season it should be the main part of the diet.
@@herbbowler2461 That's not what 114 year old Dr. Leila Denmark said. She said fruit is not vital for nutrition, a little bit each day is ok. She said the best protein is from eggs, lean meat and black eyed peas. Do you think she has been fooling herself and all her patients for over a century? She helped invent the Pertussis vaccine and has 15 awards and honors in her name.
@@beepbeepnj2658
I said fruit in season is healthy. I never said essential. Quit twisting things around.
That's the same as lying.
You refered to 1 person only.
I referred to many cultures that have the highest percentage of centurions.
What they all have in common is.
A diet high in carbs
A diet very low in animal protein and very low in any refined junk food.
They are active.
I don't care that 1 person made it to a ripe old age while eating animal protein.
Many people would not be healthy eating meat and eggs if intolerant.
And it is well established we do not need animal based food to have a long healthy life.
@@herbbowler2461 You twisted it. I responded to your exact statement of fruit should be the main part of the diet when it is in season. This is false. The other part you said is true which I did not comment on and that is fruit is seasonal. You also twisted what Denmark said. She did not say eat a lot of eggs and meat. She is like 5 feet tall 100 lbs. She said what the best quality protein is not the serving size or portion amount. She said each meal should have a protein, starch and vegetables, just your typical centenarian diet without junk food. Actually Japan is the country with the highest egg consumption rate and they also have one of the lowest cancer and obesity rates.
Oh God - here we go again! One 'expert' says bread is bad for you, now suddenly it's good for you. Look, I went off bread and _I'm glad I did_ ! So please don't start talking nonsense to me now.
Hence the surprising biggest killer in the USA, the “ standard “ American diet!!!
in the past week I've had organic whole wheat bread, I've had potatoes, corn tortillas, oatmeal, beans, and brown rice. All those are starches.
@@allencrider Please limit your consumption of Brown Rice because it is high in ARSENIC, PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH ABOUT IT. 🙏
@@claireoconor7986 Yes, please do some research about it, and don't fall for fear-based pronouncements.
Thank you!!
Chapeau!!
High starch foods equals high blood sugar and that is a fact. Oh and that's not good.
Not a fact. My blood sugar and BP was sky high on keto and I lost my gallbladder. Surgeon said it was the 2nd worse he’d seen in 15 years. I switched to WFPB and my BP is now 118/76 from 180’s over 100 for years. Dr Esselstyn has lectures on the chicken fat arteries he saw as a surgeon on thousands of patients- some only in their 20’s and 30’s here on CZcams.
It is a conspiracy Dr. McDougall.
some doctors take their cancer patients off fruit and they do better so that favors the starch diet ???
Human body can make glucose frim muscles and fat.
So, we don't need it.
Not according to the history of bodybuilding.
@@glennbishopbishthemagish Hi Glenn, boby building among pros can't actualy be considered healthy. Nor a common human behavior.
