my husband and I have been eating only rice, whole grain pasta, potatoes, beans and veg...No meat, daily, fish, oil, nuts (for the most part). We feel so much better and have both lost weight.
Thank you for this video! I was diagnosed with MS while I was on the Atkins diet (June 2015) and then happened to find a Dr. McDougall video on the deleterious relationship between MS and saturated fat consumption (April 2016). After watching this video, I switched to a low fat starch based (vegan) diet. On this diet, I have lost weight (10 lbs), and resolved 99.9% of my MS symptoms. Although I had limited mobility before, now I can walk, jog, run, ride my bike and dance for hours. OMG!!! I can dance again!!! Which means my coordination and motor skills are functioning well. I used to have insomnia and now I sleep all night and feel refreshed in the morning. I feel like I've been reborn.Thank you so much for spreading the truth during a time where the Atkins and HFLC movement is gaining momentum. We have become afraid of the foods (starches) that give us health and vitality. Again, thanks a million and a million thanks!!!!!!
Ms_Nicole_Leo What a great story. Thanks for sharing. I’m slowly moving into a starch based diet to give it a try. I’m hoping to see health improvements as many have claimed.
I'm a 12 year old vegan (been vegan since I was 10) and I got two things to say. 1) It drives me crazy when I see what the food pyramid at cooking class in school! Meat, Dairy and eggs not only should they not be in the pyramid at all they definetly shouldn't be above fruit and starches. Thank god the vegetables are above them though. 2) I turned vegan all by myself and luckerly because of me my family no longer eats meat, however no matter how hard I try, they still eat dairy and particulary eggs! I've showed them webinars and speechers by Dr. McDougall and Dr. Micheal Greger in many of which saying how bad eggs and dairy is. I also show them cowspiracy and other things like that, but they're so stubborn... Anyone with any ideas I would love to hear them.
Wow, that's amazing that you've single-handedly become vegan at such a young age, what an inspiration you are! You could try cooking them some vegan meals and show them how delicious and satisfying vegan meals are, if the case is that they just don't think they have the will power to go vegan. If they don't want to go vegan because they don't think it's best for their health, then there's not much you can do apart from try and educate them through the videos you are showing them and the information you give them. It takes time for people to make the change though; I wanted to go vegan for months and months before I completely transitioned from vegetarian to fully vegan and hopefully, one day it will just click with them like it did with me that it is simple to do so! Both my mum and sister are vegetarian but not vegan and I mostly go about trying to help them convert to veganism by encouraging them to eat the vegan alternatives I have in the house, slipping in facts about how great being vegan is into conversation, and cooking them delicious vegan meals that they then often recreate themselves. Hope this helps :)
Alex Hughes I'm in a similar situation, man! I'm 19 and I've gotten my parents to give up meat, but not the eggs and dairy. It's so frustrating. My mom is still so afraid of sugar, and is still so obsessed with protein. She'll eat olive oil without concern, but put a teaspoon of sugar in her tea and she'll be afraid she'll get fat. So backwards, mom! But at least she'll eat starches now without fear.
I'm 51, and let me tell you, the fear of starches, sugar is years and years of brainwashing. In conjunction protein/dairy = health bones. It's a crime. Give them time to change their beliefs - the more you push, the more they will hang onto their old beliefs.
It’s crazy how good McDougall’s memory is. On top of all of the blood pressure and cardiac benefits of this diet his mind is razor sharp. I’ve noticed my mental performance when playing and composing music is increased when I follow McDougall’s program. STARCH FOR LIFE!
For all you know he got drunk and fell down the stairs the night before. That could have caused his stroke. Don't blame cheese that's stupid. Everyone who eats cheese has a stroke before they're 20. Very clever.
Everything he is saying makes sense by my long old ancestors. Coming from a 3rd class poor country El Salvador where chicken, Beef, pork, was serve only on special occasions or people with more money. We grow up on beans, fresh corn tortillas. Fruits and vegetables, and no body die from starvation. I basically saw they were much more very healthy generations after generations. Than my generation now days I am going to learn and begin my journey with Dr McDougall books. Thanks for your hard work!
We Sa Salvadorans eat a wide range of plant and animal foods and have never lived entirely in corn tortillas, rice or beans. Don’t disgrace your culture to defend some bullshit convictions of a dishonest animal rights activist masquerading as a medical doctor
Dr. McDougal, I wish you could come speak at my college. my current nutrition class is full of arguments that support the standard American diet. Every time I speak up about being a starch based vegan, I get shot down and basically laughed at. I have requested that one of your videos be shown in class so we can learn about real nutrition! Not to mention, the professor isn't even a Nutrition professor at all :( thank you for all the work you've done. I'm currently doing a potato diet, with all of my calories coming from potatoes and non starchy veggies. This is day 8 for me and I feel amazing. You're a true inspiration!
+Frootaholic Chef Ⓥ Just consider the source of your teacher and your schools funding. You will have your answer why they push back against planet based food. If the student are the ones rejecting this they are brainwashed sheep. Its not their fault.
+Frootaholic Chef Ⓥ Problematic foods for me are: starches, homogenized milk (but I'll consume them in some situations, more so some starches on that matter) Great, vital foods, for me: some cheese, non-homogenized milk, meat(i.e. animal flesh in general), eggs (all the animal foods quality grown of course, preferably), fruits, greens, green veggies, non-refined-salt, non-filtered beer (such as sierra nevada hefeweizen/kellerweis especially),.. and sundry other bits of things, such as seeds/nuts/grains on occasion (rice mochi(a puffed up oven-baked food done at home) is great on occasion as desired). The drink called Joon/Jun, is way better than kombucha. Kombucha is relatively 'dank' in character, Joon is sprightly fresh,… way more lively and invigorating. As best I can tell from my own experience, lots of disease(and 'colds') is due to starch and low quality animal products, and homogenized milk. Arthritis, the accretion of gunk at joints, is due to starch consumption or low quality animal products, in the sense of how the animals are raised, what the animals are fed. Accumulations of gunk in the lymph system is largely due to starch consumption,… or low quality animal products, in the sense of how the animals are raised, what the animals are fed. But of course, the problem is dependent on the quantity consumed and how your body responds, - how well or not well your body processes the food substance. And my experience on all this has been extensive since 1984. And yes, people can succeed, apparently, on different dietary modes, variable per person,… whether throughout their life or with prudent changes depending on life/age/lifestyle changes, which their body will give indications as to what needs to be consumed in order for best reasonable health and vitality and non-encumbrance to be maintained. But, humans are ingenuous, and, we modify our environment to our advantage,…. and clearly, I find, my body finds, bovine milk, intended for infant bovines, is very healthy for me,…. my body thrives on it, as a part of my dietary. Yes, I could still live without if need be, but I find a thrive best with it. And to be clear again, that is non-homogenized milk, whether pasteurized or raw. Pasteurization can be good. I drink both pasteurized and raw, depending on what I sense for a given as to what I feel I prefer at a given time. There are differences with different sources, so notice which source isn't working so well (for example I associate getting a cold with one source(a source from Humboldt Co.) and I don't with other sources/brands of milk, such as Strauss, Caravale, and Benoit). Btw, just fruits and vegetables is vastly insufficient for sustainable health and body integrity, except for rare individuals, if true. I know this very well from personal experience and that of others.
Nise Hammeken The seeds have too much fat. And the legumes have too much protein. And not enough fibre The best thing to do is add a legume to a starch in a 2 to one ratio. Then you have perfection. I for example always cook 100 grams of brown rice together with 50 grams of mung beans. Add in some salt and chopped garlic. Cook for 40 minutes. Strain and mix in some mustard. Gorgeous. Top it with a curry sauce with chopped spinach and you have a very tasty super nutritious meal. And theres nothing better for losing weight than BROWN RICE. Its superior to white rice and potatoes for that.
Your experience is a testiment to the corporate manipulation and control over what students are now allowed to know and the restriction of knowledge that contradicts prescribed narrative now,very sad,follow all the science,make up your own mind and always look at all sides of the debate-even the ones that you do not agree with.Learn to follow the money and be able to identify authentic well performed research.Beware of blinkered soothsayers with letters after their name presenting theory or propoganda as fact,be aware that there is usually more than one way to yield fantastic results,our planet provides us with multiple avenues to health,follow your own path and enjoy your learning-from a living self directed student of over 45 years x
SocratesOfHealth my great grandmother is also strong and living over her 80 years with the same diet. And my great grandmother on my grandfathers side past away last year near her 90 years she also had beans and rice every day with season vegetables
SocratesOfHealth you are full of shit. Beans and corn tortillas would have been a big part of her diet as would have been the carnitas, pollo and pescado. Don’t abuse your grandmothers legacy to sell your own personal convictions
For the first time since being diagnosed with diabetes ten years ago, that my blood sugar levels have lowered and stabilised at normal since following Dr McD's diet about 8 months ago. Over half my daily food intake is potatoes. I love them!
It is so liberating to know that nothing is wrong with you or your body.That it is just a matter of food. I used to be anxious about my weight all the time. I was never fat but in earlier years I was a bit chubby. Now I know the formula for a healthy body. Starch+Unprocessed plant foods=thin, more processed=heavier
Thank you for the added info on Type 1 diabetes. The diabetes webinar seemed mainly aimed at Type 2s. So often Type 1's are told about all the devastating effects that are basically guaranteed to happen. It's nice to hear that we have a bit of control over our own destiny and outcomes :-)
I just bought and read this book. To think it only costs a few dollars to save your life is mind boggling.I keep this as my bible along with the China Study,
I really wish the information that you have acquired over the course of your career was more widely disseminated and taught to our medical students. My faith in the medical profession has definitely taken a hit given what I know of the pharmaceutical industry, and the health care industry as a whole. I truly believe diet is the answer to many aliments vs drugs that mask the symptoms. Thank you for sharing all of the information that you have. I just wish the medical industry actually cared about health vs profiting from symptoms. Truth is if more of us followed your guidance we wouldn't need the number of doctors or hospitals that we currently have. God bless, wish I had the opportunity to know you in person. Thank you.
@*Veganislife* I don't think a fish can shove his head up his arse can he. I've listened to enough of that prat to know he talks out of his all the time so I don't bother anymore. Have you ever watched. "An Explosive Interview With Dr. John McDoughall" It's really very interresting, It goes for an hour and a half. Enjoy. The interviewer was really embarassed.
Rock on Dr. McDougall...put those dairy pushers in their place. I'm convinced if Americans knew just how harmful dairy, meat, and eggs were to their health..they would get mad for being lied to for so many years, then fight back by refusing to purchase any of these products. That's exactly what I did after finding out the truth..Thank you for all your time and persistence ! 🍚🌽🥔🍌🥗😘
Thank you so much for these videos - I love them! Have been vegan for 4 years but have been steadily improving my diet even more through these videos and those on 'nutrition facts'. Keep up the good work! 😉
I started this way of eating today. I am very hopeful since listening to you all day today. Love this...I am now motivated to lose this excess weight. I have Chronic kidney disease stage 3a, but I don't want to eat any meats or dairy, etc..I love the Vegan lifestyle, but have gone on and off of it, knowing however, that it is a good way to eat. But, looking forward to receiving your hard cover book about the Healthiest Diet on the Planet. YAY!
One thing I would note is that among those debating the arguments of Dr. McDougall vs. Dr. Greger vs. Dr. Fuhrman vs. Dr. Esselstyn vs. Dr. Campbell vs. Dr. Ornish, the war is won.
I am a low converter of ALA to EPA due to a SNP on FADS2 rs 1535. My conversion rate is 29% lower than if I had no SNP at that location. Still love you Dr. McDougal and eat starch based like you say to. Thanks for bucking the mainstream all these years.
I can get 40lb of organic potatoes flakes for $1.86 lb. 1lb of dried potatoes is equal to about 9 lb fresh. So for $80 I have the equivalent of 360lb of potatoes that will last years stored of easy to carry in my trunk of my car or RV.
Thank you you are great , please keep pushing forward, after all vegan is a healthier kinder beautiful lifestyle, all this barbaric cruelty to animals must stop! NOW , !!
I was on a starch-based diet for years ended up with stage two hypertension, BPH and my triglycerides are in the 700s. Luckily, I didn’t get diabetes. Keto works better for me. Everything now is normal. All that starch can raise your blood sugar and spike insulin levels.
This is such a great video, thank you SO MUCH I have all of Dr McDougalls books and I am so happy he explained about beans because that was something I couldnt find answers to, also the type 1 diabetes THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤😻
i dont think Doc McD sounds breathless? hes talking A LOT. and he has a lot of information to impart in every sentence so he speaks fast and enthusiastically. but i really dont see breathlessness?
i binge on fucking brown rice with red lenthils, and turn on these videos, makes me feel so good, i eat like 5 to 8 plates per meal, i have my blood test done, everything is ok so far( 100 total cholesterol , 55 cholesterolmg) ,lil bit of high triglycerides( 150mg) but nothing out of order, godam jhon man, you sir are a champ. SO NO MORE MEAT
arkchanger no oil also right? All oils contribute to higher LDL and chance of heart attack. Your starting must have been much worse i assume.. keep getting checked over time to have solid results to share :) good luck, stay carb-strong!
Hi Dr. McDougall!!! Hi there!!! Thank you for all the knowledge, I try to spread the word, but I don't seem to have much luck here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada😔 I seem to be having troubles digesting fats and proteins, and want to get my omega 3's in. Any suggestions? Please tell Mary how much I love you both. Your children are very lucky to have such amazing parents💕
How long does it take for the fat to drain from your cells after becoming a starch / vegan diet eater where we don’t feel our blood sugar spiking ? I thought it was 4-7 days, but wasn’t quite sure. By this I mean a virtually zero fat starch based diet with some veggies and fruit. Thank you !!
The local regular costco usually has only bags of pinto beans and mayocoba beans. The costco business center has 25 lb bags of black beans, red kidney beans, garbanzo and lentils. They boil fast in less than 30 minutes if soaked overnight.
I did an experiment on myself. I ate only potatoes and oatmeal and changed my exercise to daily 1 hr walk for almost 3 months. What do you think happened? I did gain weight, and quite significant amount (about 8 kg). Some people may need to lower the energy density of starch diet by eating a lot of vegetables, so the overemphasis on starch and underemphasis on vegetables should be reversed (for those cases). The diet he should be recomemding for broader audience of overweight people is his MWL, not the Starch Solution; or, at least, he should include more caviats. But it would be even harder to sell, I guess?
@@sdtcal is that sarcastic? I have been a vegan for several years for my health, animals....I ate nothing but boiled potatoes for 6 months, no vegan condiments just potatoes and i gained weight. Dr. Neal Barnard recommends a balanced diet, a variety of foods and of all the diet/ lifestyle changes, i lost weight.
@@elainebraindrain3174 Not really - weight gain / loss is just a matter of calories in / out. One just needs to learn to eat wide variety of healthy foods in amounts corresponding to their energy needs.
LOVE THIS GUY...A TRUE LIBERATION EXPERT...THIS WAY OF EATING IS THE MOST HONEST...HEALTHY...AND CRUELTY-FREE OF ANY I HAVE EVER HEARD OR SEEN DESCRIBED...AND THE STRANGE THING IS...IT'S BEEN KNOWN FOR A REALLY LONG TIME THAT THIS EATING STRATEGY DEFEATS ALL THE DISEASES THAT KILL EVERYBODY IN WESTERN CULTURE...BUT...ONLY SO MANY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND THIS INFORMATION OUT AND FOLLOW THIS COURSE...I'M DOING IT AND HOPE I CAN STAY THE COURSE...THANKS DR. MCDOUGALL
I was taught "complex carbs" in Jr High. The meat industry villianized complex carbs when meat sales dropped off. Complex carbs areso much more than "starch."
What about GMOed grains? How do you eat potatoes without butter? What about getting tired of potatoes? What about the Dr. Gundry diet Plant Paradox that addresses Hoshimotos, hypo and hyperthyroidism? Which is what I have?
definitely gained weight drinking beer. Also messed up my eyes. Didn't notice so much with wine tho. My diet is dominant natural sugars like starches, fruits, veg and i've lost almost all fat on my body. I exercise moderately like easy going bike rides and walks.
This is all new to me but I'm going to give it a shot. My health is in bad shape due to the SAD way of life. I love potatoes so I'm going to start there. Does anyone know if I do a 2 week potato diet can I add ketchup? Thanks
Hello Dr. McDougal, I have Peripheral Neuropathy in my feet due to the Chemo I received in 2014 and my doctor told me to switch to a low carb diet and eat meats, vegetables eggs and I don't think this will work as I prefer the Starch Solutions. Your thoughts Please, Virginia
