This was a really good one! Exactly what I needed to hear. I LOVE potatoes, corn, beans, bread. And I'm tired of being afraid of starches.
You should be scared of starches. They are sugar. This guy is about half full of BS. Your body can't tell the difference between a candy bar or pasta. Orange juice is just as bad as soda. His dismissal of keto/ carnavor proves how much he does not know.
What I can't figure out is why there's so many videos promoting Atkins diet but so few advocating a starch plant diet. It's hard to know what's best.
@@jonfreeman9682, they don’t want us to be healthy,, I was plant based for 2 yrs,, got sidetracked with life,, I’m going back,, I was 62 ,, I never felt better,, my skin was beautiful, no problem sleeping,,
Watch forks over knives video,,
You will not be sorry!!
@jonfreeman9862 because that’s what gets clicks, views, likes, etc.
yes! embrace the truth. the facts. the accurate info.
I watch McDougall all the time is this is my favorite one. Thank you for always giving your time for our health
This exact video changed my life and that of my husband's. Thank you to both of you 💗 💓
3:30 Animals also get chonky when they live with rotund humans.
I am over weight and you can call me 'fat' by all means. I need this diet like I need air. Keep it up.
How are you doing?
I hung up the Scarsdale, Atkins, Keto, Mediterranean, Carnivore, and all other high-protein diets. Sure I lost about 10 pounds with high protein diets but the weight loss always stopped and I gained more back even with exercise and compliance with the diets. I finally figured out that the weight was a combo of fat and muscle mass from these protein diets. My goal was to take the excess weight off of my frame due to bone spurs. I started with Pritikin's maximum weight loss diet and now McDougall's diet and the weight is effortlessly coming off! Chunky... that's what I used to be called. 😄
Fantastic!
Good for you😊
Voluptuous! Rubenesque! 😅
but maybe just plain Corpulent ... thanks so much Dr. Mcdougall and family
Thank you, Doctor, for the dedication to give people real health!!! You are a hero in this modern world!!!
This video changed my life 2 years ago. i still like to come back and rewatch from time to time.
Best thing that ever could have happened to me.
R.I.P.
I don't suffer hunger pangs. I'm an emotional eater. I fast intermittently. Lose a few pounds. Sugar is my vice. My friends are having same conversation - I'm FAT. Now is the time for all good friends to come to the aid of their friends - SUGAR is NOT YOUR BODY'S FRIEND.
Time to chew on this - "The fat you eat is the fat you wear". Hard to swallow the truth...Thankfully a friend from Alaska sent me here. Sharing with more friends 💕 in Alaska, Arizona, California, Washington state and North Carolina. Very thankful ...thank you Dr. McDougall...
You mean FAT IS NOT YOUR BODY’S FRIEND
Fat is your friend. Sugar is the devil. Quit eating sugar/ carbs. And watch how quickly you get healthy.
Back when I was very lumpy I would eat a dessert. Ignoring the fat mixed with sugar I only blamed sugar. I don't eat bowls of table sugar but I'm no longer afraid of fresh fruit. Or starch.
Great information! Thank you. I always appreciate listening to Dr. McDougall and other experts who know the real facts about food and what we should be eating. It’s just amazing to me that people think the modern day grocery store is filled with foods that are good for us.
Why am I so gravity challenged?
This was an EXCELLENT presentation! Thank you, Dr. McDougall and Chef AJ for making this available. I will be sharing it with the people I care about, hoping that they will make a change before it's too late.
Please do!
Thanks for sharing! I always love listening to the information. I wish I found your way years ago!!
Yo watching/listening to this for a 3rd time in 2 days.
Thank you, I learned so much
I love this! The only point I disagree on is where he says we have to eat less fruit in order to lose weight. This is demonstrably not the case! About 90% of my consumption is fruit and the rest is vegetables and starches and I am dropping weight and inches like crazy!
I wonder if this applies to individuals who are more sensitive to the sweeter taste of fruit, which results in EXCESSIVE consumption of calories.
@@janetl9984 I see your point. However I really don't know if we need to focus on the amount of calories we consume., but maybe the type of calories we consume. Like if we made sure to stick to fruits, vegetables and starches and stay away from fats, dairy, and meats then we should be fine? Atleast that is what is I gathered in Chef AJ's books and it's working for me.
I'm an NHS nurse having worked in the hospitals for the last 17 yrs. Last week I was working on a cancer ward. There was a patient who was vegan and he had bladder cancer. He had been a vegan for 8 yrs. This is the first vegan patient I've met in 17 yrs. Most but not all patients are overweight or obese and don't eat WFPB diets.
Excellent as usual
Amazing!
Should be required watching for parents of school going kids, so they don't waste those crucial early years to set the young tastebuds right. Every college and university should sponsor the Eat more starch challenge. Seriously so much crazy misinformation out there and you can't argue with it without being attacked...
yep everyon i know is afraid of corn lol
@@darkenergy410A relative of mine recently referred to corn as “loaded with sugar” 😢 He is my age (mid-40s) with several health issues including sleep apnea
Oh, I agree with everything. He says I just get tired of cooking all the time and trying to cook for one without wasting a lot of food and I get tired of carrying my food with me., if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
And thank you Dr. McDougall for such a fantastic video
Batch cooking is the answer. I will make enough bean chilli for example to last a week. Freeze it in portioned containers. And take out as needed.
You changed my life and I am so grateful. Thank you so much for sharing all of your wisdom with us 😀 love all of your talks
Thank you
Hi, did you manage to loose weight? What are you eating now? Thank you.
@@vlatkomarjanovic6594 Hi I did loose weight and quite effortlessly. I am now 80/20 following Mc Dougall but make room for treats. What I really like is he isnt all or nothing you choose what works best for you. It helped me so much with my digestive issues I was told by a kidney doctor I wouldnt survive but following his approach really cured all of that. It did take time though so for a long time I just ate potatoes rice and veggies (my choice) but it was all my system could handle. All the best x
Thanxz John M
The best wake up call🤞👌….doctor you are amazing
This guy is pushing basicly a candy bar diet. All carbs are suger all. You body can't tell the difference between.
thanks
good podcast.
I love this lecture - its so clearly lectured and with impressive images to illustrate the amazing effects of a healthy McDougall program - 🙏for all the information and inspiration ♥️♥️♥️
AMAZING CONTENT! Easy to Digest
😊
Great pun!
Sweet potatoes taste so much better than regular potatoes eh
I need butter and salt on reg potatoes so I just stick with plain sweet potatoes taste good plain , no oil , no salt.
Totally agree
Why not just eat one of each
I never thought of that. But it's so true.
I find regular potatoes taste just great with vinegar or ketchup.

You are so welcome!
Carl Lewis! Wow! McDougall diet is a secret weapon I wish I had learned about in 1990. 😁
It's never too late!
@@CHEFAJsome people deal with bloating issues from eating so much carbs.
@@kevinwilson3337 The carbs aren't the problem, It's the person's microbiome that has adjusted to the poort eting
Very nice presentation!
One polite term for “fat” is “thick”! It replaces overweight. At least in the black community. So, you’re not overweight, you’re “thick”. Then, obese is maybe now just overweight. 🤷🏽♂️
Lol 😂
Yeah, it’s a cultural euphemism in the black community (and other POC communities - Latin comes to mind). It’s a PC term used so people can feel better about staying overweight.
Meanwhile hypertension, diabetes, and cancer are running rampant through these communities and killing people in the prime of their lives. It’s a tragedy to sacrifice health on the altar of woke/PC.
Umm "thicc" is not "fat" Definitely don't mean the thing. Unless someone is in denial
Lol I hate the word thick makes me feel fatter
Will this be recorded and available for watching later?? I’m a night shift nurse in Australia and need to sleep now
You bet!
I wish I would have found you years ago I wouldn't be in the shape I am now. My doctor is a quack!! I've lost 126 pounds and my diabetes is worse then ever. I had the sleeve surgery years ago and that was a joke . All i've been told is lose weight and you'll be free of diabetes , I still have 65 pounds to not be morbidly obese . I bounce from starvation and Keto because all I've ever heard is Carbs are bad. I'm not an angel with food because I would've never had weighed 345 pounds but that's a different story. I'm going to do this the way you have explained because I'm tired of being as you've said sick. I've told my doctor for years that I"m sick that I don't feel good that something is wrong and all he has always told me it's your diabetes. Well when you can't function and you walk like a drunk staggering falling against the freezer doors in Walmart or brain fog and can't remember what your saying in middle of a sentence. When you are so weak to walk you have to really concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other it's scary. I'm on Metformin and Glipizide, I don't know much about these medications but I think they're killing me. I think my muscles are starving and not getting the energy to function that's why this fatigue is so bad. I told my husband that I was dying a slow death but my sugar won't go under 198 even when I don't eat and go off my diabetes medicine which I did here a couple of weeks ago just to see what would happen but maybe I wasn't off of it long enough to really to get the build up of glucose out of my organs maybe . I don't know . I can't go to my doctor right now trying to find health insurance since we lost our Medicaid first of April . My doctor is all about stay away from CZcams , oh and starches. lol I got to find me another doctor. So sorry this is so long .
I’m sorry that sounds so difficult. I hope you can figure out the cause of your health ailments. For me I have found low fat high fiber to be the best.
@@emilyantiqua I went tonight and got strawberries, rasberries, oats, almond milk. Ate that tonight and loved it . I never liked milk but almond milk oh my it's so good. lol I got me some cabbage, tomatoes, cellery. potatoes . We always had potatoes at supper and mom always bought frozen peas and corn and she canned green beans, dad grew a garden of cabbage, potatoes , cucumbers, corn, green peppers. Mom canned everything she could get her hands on . I've always loved kruat , I'd eat it out of the jar . If you'd put a piece of choc. cake or kraut in front of me I'd choose the kraut . lol Love pickled green beans they're so good especially with mashed potatoes. I don't like pickled corn but my brothers all liked that. We had apple, pear and a mulberry tree. Dad made mulberry and dandelion wine. He could really make wine nothing like the store junk . It was a good life back then . We had a beautiful big grapevine and I'd pick grapes nothing like the grapes in the stores. We had rhubarb it was a treat when mom made rhubarb jelly she'd give me a little sugar I'd dip a dip the rhubarb in the sugar and eat it . Oh it would make you pucker but it sure was good. Kids these days have no idea what they're missing. I was skinny , I didn't like meat, milk , cheese, loved my veggies, loved my potatoes and my mom was the best cook around. She made a potato bread it was so good. She also made a whole wheat bread that I loved but I liked it hot but didn't like it once it cooled. I'm really excited about my journey because it's the foods I love and have missed so much. I'm so sorry this is so long but one more thing I was taking my vitamins last night and watching Dr. McDougal just had popped them in my mouth he turns looks at the camera and says don't take those vitamins their poison and I spit them out into my hand then he says you can take the B12 my wife and I take ours and I say oh okay and I put my B12 back under my tongue . Now you tell me it wasn't meant for me to find him. I had prayed 2 hours before for God to help me that I couldn't do this no more that I had reached my limits I just wanted to die. I give God all the praise and I just want to say God bless you Dr. McDougal for helping people so many have forgotten why they started down the path they had chosen . Thank you Emily for taking time to respond back , God bless you also. My mom died at 50 I lost her when I was 18 years old. I'm 56 now , I lost a brother he was only 42 years old to his health , he wouldn't go to the doctor , he would've been 68 years old . I have 2 other brothers and I have 3 sons I'm doing this to show them this can be done . I want to keep them here longer and healthy . We all aren't small people . People say we must come from the Viking people or something. LMBO !!
(By fats, I mean nuts, avocadoes, olives, coconut) Saute your veggies in water, never oil.
Go ahead and make small changes once at a time. If your family members are supportive that will really help you to get better. Give dr mcdougalls starch solution a chance and please consult any doctor so he can reduce your medication. Good luck 👍🏻
Hope you're doing okay? Would love to know. You deserve to have the best life after suffering so much 😢
Very high quality lecture. I completely disagree with his conclusions about fruits though. He contradicts himself when talking about how excess calories from glucose are burnt off and not stored as fat. Fructose doesn't even raise insulin, comparatively. I've yet to meet even one long-term fat fruitarian in my life. Fruit, starches, and all sugary foods are self regulating and almost impossible to overeat. Believe me, I've tried. You just can't do it. McDougall seems to think the insulin spike will prevent weight loss as well which is more rubbish. With a plant-based high fruit, high veggie, high starch, low-fat diet I've lost over 100 lbs, going from 235 to 135, lean, and have remained that way. Tons of health issues: Gone. There's plenty of people who have done the same or similar. So while I agree with McDougall 90%, I say eat as much fruit as you want, that includes fruit juice, fiber or not. Just as long as it's fresh and homemade in a slow juicer.
I’m glad you stated this lol . This was my experience too . I carefully ate a whole food plant based low fat diet. I cooked all my foods and never ate out. and i was shocked to see how lean i had become.
100% agree.
Was going to say the same thing
Fruit makes me ill I am highly sugar sensitive. Fruit will not put weight on but the sugar content makes me ill.
I like apples but bananas not sure 🤔
0:50 Dr McDougall: The polite term is “excess weight”.
"Big boned", "metabolically challenged", "bon vivant" 😃
I prefer hefty or husky size lol
4 slices of pizza? cute!
Nowadays anytime labeled healthy or superfood gets expensive almost immediately n so poorer sections land up eating cheap unhealthy options...palm oil for example
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson? Look right through me, look right through me ...
❤️
Our ancestors would've never prioritized foods with less nutrients. Veganism is a diet of privilege. Our natural diet is a nutrient rich, high calorie diet that only could've givin our ancestors the energy they needed.
I would like to be called overweight if I was fat. Just sounds nice to me. I actually am underweight at 102 pounds, five three.
For what it's worth, that's the weight he's suggesting for a woman of your height at @1:13:26 in the video
Wrestlers are the best athletes btw. Its were strength and athletism meet.
I like the graphic of "Imperial" margarine, Burger "King" and Dairy "Queen" next to the drawing of an obese aristocrat from former times at 7:00. Maybe unintentional product warning. Also, using humor in a presentation helps the viewer to remember the information.
Great presentation. One issue I have though. How can Dr. McDougall mention a "creator" in one part of his presentation then mention evolution in another? To me evolution and creation oppose one another. If the human body was designed as he mentioned, how can some random series of events make that happen? Design denotes intelligence! Is evolution intelligent?
He's just trying to appease everyone's different opinions on where we came from.
I do not think they are mutually exclusive. Creator is who/what. Evolution is how.
So is pasta okay?
He does say pasta is okay, and I lost 75lbs in 15 months following his diet and eating pasta about 2-3 times a week. I think whole wheat pasta is preferable but I eat white pasta at least 60% of the time. Just like he says brown rice is better than white rice but either one is acceptable.
Great video but my biggest concern are the potato 🥔. I tried eating potato but gained a lot of weight. (Not sure if the butter I used helped me or not
Listen to the lecture .. it is not the potato that made you gain weight .. it was the butter .. remove the fat
If CI vs CO is true then how do these not athletes but up to 3k calories without working out eating lots of raw foods? my guess is enzymes are helping break down those calories.
The academic paper quoted says that the women gained “only” one pound of fat every 4 months. This is equal to gaining 90 pounds of weight over a 30 year period. So yes, eating too many calories and sugar will make you fat.
Agreed, and he’s not saying you should be eating extra sugar, just that they did that in the study. I think he’s pointing out that eating extra sugars aren’t going to affect your health and weight in the same way that eating extra fat will.
The point is they had to over eat 50% of maintenance calories every day for 4 months Just to gain ONE pound of fat . That is incredible , however , obviously we shouldn’t be overeating by 50% .
A fixed metabolism can have significant amount of fat though. And "good fats" do exist. The ratio of MUFA:PUFA:SAT fats make a difference in whether or not your body is headed for hibernation (slow metabolism in torpor) or emerging from torpor. The french paradox is an example of this. They would eat plenty of bread covered in butter (think croissants) and would remain lean (until more recent years). And fats like stearic acid have metabolic benefits. Not to mention the fat soluble vitamins available from healthier fats. I am not pro-keto, but he attacks keto unrealistically. I don't think I'll ever do keto again, but for metabolically healthy people, a short stent has benefits.
Basically, a super heavy starch diet is likely very reasonable for metabolically compromised individuals, but if the metabolism is fixed, you can have healthy saturated fats (butter and cacao butter). Avoid MUFA (olive oil and avocado oil) and PUFA (seed oils like peanut, sunflower, safflower, etc). Avoid them completely.
He is the guy who says sugar helps diabetes !!!
No he does not. Of course if you are already diabetic you should not be having natural sugars but those who are pre diabetic or obese/overweight can switch to an all vegetable/fruit diet with starches and do light exercise such as walking (with approval from their dr) and the weight will come off. Of course anyone with any serious health conditions should always see their dr before starting any weight-loss or exercise program.
I have an ex. After a month of eating this way they were off their medication and their insulin was stable. Before that they had been type 2 diabetic for over 8 years. The only times issues that were experienced were when they ate white potatoes or white rice. I think that it was just too soon to try to incorporate them into their diet because they were able to eat sweet potatoes and brown rice with no issues.
Needless to say they didn't stick with this way of eating because misery loves company. Some people are just hard headed. So they went back to eating whatever and going back on medication. Nine years later they had a stroke. Not something common at their age.
Oh I’m more than welcome to label myself as obese these days. After becoming anemic just before Covid I packed on 100lbs. It scares me. 100lbs in 3 years. Who does that?! How did this happen?!
Oil and fat! You can lose it too I am positive❤
Stay off the alcohol that packs on the pounds , empty calories . Walk an hour every morning.
do not eat for 16-23 hours a day have a dedicated window for feeding , that increases fat burning 23 hours is extreme end , 16 hours is a bit low but minimum
So let's say you choose 18 hours a day of not eating , that means from 12 noon to 6 pm you can consume food pref. healthy foods like in the video starch and veggies and minimal fruit and nut . Rest of the time is only water drinking.
On second thought being home and eating even small amounts continuously is ruinous. It happened to me when I retired but during COVID there was so much stress too! Best wishes.
some have always been fat if u eat five massive pizzas a day and dont any work you are going to end up massive its not rocket science years ago people didnt have access to massive amounts of food nowadays you can eat 3 takeaways a day
Why does everyone say we need fat for hormones? I've always been told at least 25% of my calories should come from fat. Now I'm scared to go low fat.
As you've heard in this video, Dr. McDougall does not subscribe to 25% fat. I don't recall any of the doctors saying that they see fat-deprived people with health issues resulting from too little fat!
You need around 10g's of fat a day for your gallbladder. Most plant foods have enough to satisfy that but if you are concerned just drizzle a little cold pressed flaxseed oil on your food, eat some nuts, or put some avocado on your salads. A little fat is no problem, just don't overdo it. 👍
Because they are ignorant. Look up Ornish and Esselstyn. Their heart disease reversal studies where about 10% of calories from fat. People's clogged arteries opened up and lost weight. No other diet has been shown to unclog arteries. They never had hormone problems. They probably say that because a lot of our hormones are made out of cholesterol. But our liver is able to make whatever cholesterol we need.
@@secundusytp4517seed oils are bad . Just eat fat in its whole form
Couple of nuts in a day should not be big concern as long as you stay away from oils and other fats

Wonderful presentation and easy to understand! 👍 Thank you!
I eat oats for breakfast with water and a bit of sugar and it is satisfying but an hour later I'm hungry again. Same with fruit. It's just not long lasting fuel. So I end up eating peanut butter on toast which is long lasting.
same
Eat more. Fill your stomach up
If you eat enough volume wise (eg 2 cups of oats) it will fill you up for 5 hours. I have mine with frozen blueberries, sliced apples, banana, etc + 2 tablespoons of chia, hemp or ground flax seeds, 1 tablespoons of maple syrup for flavour and I soak the whole mixture in soy, almond or oat milk for 20 minutes (or overnight) then heat in microwave
@@earthsign99 this is so true . I work a physical job and i can work for hours up on hours and not feel hungry
@@earthsign99 I was having one of those oats so simple sachets. It's only 100 calories.

You're not useless
Fat removal needs to be a treatment for cancer. Tummy tucks, covered by insurance, and a mandatory diet change.
Didn't some native Americans tribes in the west also eat a lot of Buffalo meat?
What about spiking your insulin? insulin is inflammatory. sugar is sucrose and fructose and it's linked to poor health. Your carb diet confuses me.
He's not referring to refined carbohydrates, which are linked to poor heath.
im too fat, and i know its my lifestyle. Im going to do carnivore. Not going to do difficult plant based that lacks essential nutrients.
All the best to you.

You lost me when you traced us back to monkeys.
Same here. Evolutionary nonsense.
my roommate it's 90% starch and sugar, she's fat ?????
What exactly is she eating? Dr. McDougall specifies what starches you should eat and how. Potatoes are great, but don’t add sour cream, cheese, bacon, etc. Pasta yes, but don’t add chicken or Alfredo sauce, for example. And he doesn’t suggest you add simple sugars except for special occasions, maybe a couple of times per year.
There is no fall in our design. We are designed to run on fat not sugar. And that means all sugar, there are no good carbs. It's all sugar. Get that out of your diet and watch how you get healthy. But you have to be realistic. Like understanding a glass of orange juice is as bad as a soda. Pasta is just like a candy bar.
Ps a starch only diet might as well be a candy bar diet. It's all sugar and will kill you like any other sugar.
You’ve got it reversed…until that epiphany moment, no one will change a mindset.
If we are designed to run on fat when the 7 years of famine happened during the time of Joseph in Egypt why was corn (starch) stored instead of fat?🤔
@@user56gghtf Name one essential carbohydrate. Just one.
