Eating starches makes my blood sugar spike. How is that good? 

That is insane weight loss 😱! Now you are the star of the party 🎊.

and that diet of potatoes, corn and rice is a huge no-no for the keto diet!!

Yep. I am also so thankful I learned about all this from McDougall and PCRM. That Everybody has it all wrong about sugar. And it is so hard to convince others who have been hearing that starches are your enemy for SOOO long and that meat is your friend. Once I knew I could eat potatoes, I knew I could go vegan!

@@pleinaire8698 what part of 194lbs of weightloss did you miss out on?

@@pleinaire8698 keto diet is heart rich. literally clogging arteries. lol

@Peter 3.0 yes..paid app. classes. books. not supplements nor olive oils. the man doesnt even want people to take supplements except for b12

He sells dried soup. Add hot water kind of thing.

@@deborahclark8288 not bad. haha thanks.

He also sells his 12 day program

@@trishmarck7798 costs over $4,000..all to eat rice, corn, and potatoes lol

Does he look like he's healthy and thriving to you?????

He looks horrible

@@FINDINGFITNESS101 he is not I believe his diet needs more nuts and seeds

@@PistolPete3322 Cause you need Starchy carbs and meat and fat you lose all your muscle and become weak without meat starch is nutritious but for survival

@@FINDINGFITNESS101 What is he expected to look like in his mid-70s?

Please let me know how you're getting on in later life. My experience is that a high carbohydrate diet causes hyperinsulinemia, with a host of degenerative conditions.

Are you diabetic?

I would like to visit your clinic and start the starch diet please send me more info on how to do this

Gary, me too, simply can't get my head around this, (I'm keto) but I guess the key is low fat. So one has to decide, it's either HFLC or, or, or HCLF. Agreed? Because both camps have success. Keto and McDougal. I will admit my energy on Keto is not optimal. Also, getting too skinny, just can't gain

@@lupemiranda4443 Uh, Gary isn't Dr. McDougall. And secondly, how can ANYONE send you ANYTHING via RU-vid?

@@contrarian717 High fat causes HEPATIC (LIVER) insulin resistance. That's why lowering fat -- for six months or so -- reverses diabetes on this program. But then you can eat fat again -- like most everyone -- as long as you exercise to lower blood sugar.

​@@contrarian717Yeah, but how much visceral fat will the high-carb people have?

Can I ask what you were taking medication for? How are you doing these days?

Agreed. I’m amazed at the metabolic support of increased muscle on my body even in menopause!

I second this

Which “wedge issues” are you referring to?

McDougall and his program have been around for a very long time..I remember watching him on PBS in the 1990s...What happened to him?? He looks like he may have had some health issues!!

May I ask you. What do you eat for breakfast and can you combine potatoes with butter? Or no oils and fats at all? Would really appreciate a tip.

@@himmelnah369 From what I've seen,, Mcdougall's diet is no added oils or fats at all.

Would like to know if you're still on his diet and how you're doing. Good diet for Type 1 ?

Go for it, but remember to have more vegetables then starches for faster weight loss

Here's a recipe I love. 1 cup plant based milk, 1 sliced frozen banana, 2 soaked medjool dates (soak in a little water overnight), 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower florets, 1/2 cup rinsed drained canned black beans (no salt added), 1 tablespoon cocoa powder. Blend in a powerful blender. Make a rich creamy chocolate milkshake that keeps me full for hours. I eat one for lunch daily. This treat helps me stay on track and you can't taste the beans or cauliflower.

​@@happycook6737 this is genius! I'm so glad I found this! 🤯

How did u get to 345 lbs?

@@jgrysiak6566 I got to 345 lbs by continuously saying to myself over and over, "I'm going to eat a little more, besides it won't matter that much if it's only a little more!!" And before I knew it, I was weighing 345 lbs!!

Day 6 of covid. Just ate 1.5 potatoes mashed w almond milk. Felling better after getting anti virals on day 4. Covid is absolutely awful for me.

And they say a little bit won't hurt .... oh yes it will, right away too.

@@johngaspar4425 true within 10 minutes I felt like death

Oil guarantees heartburn for me. I can eat spicy foods, tomatoes, etc. But a scant amount of fat and l can’t sleep without Tums.

I'm not sure about the fructose so much as it's low GI and fat free (and also if you're using it as a sweetener you can use a bit less of it than glucose or even sucrose for the same sweetness), thus doesn't have much of an insulin response as the sugar is slowly turned to glucose (to turn it to fat is slower and more complicated as the molecules are completely different), but certainly anything with both high fat and a form of sugar e.g. glucose, fructose, lactose, galactose, sucrose, maltose or a starch is going to trigger more of an insulin response and will need more due to the fat content blocking the insulin receptor sites. I mean technically any form of intake energy will slow down fat loss in the short term, simply by being an alternative form of energy. Intaking fat is counter productive because it doesn't make you very full, relative to how many calories you are ingesting. The glycogen storage being filled stops you being hungry. The fat storage, well almost every overweight person still gets the urge to eat despite having enough energy storage for several weeks of fasting. This proves that the body is missing other stuff when a fat person fasts e.g. glucose, protein, salt, vitamins and minerals, but not fat itself as it has plenty. Most parts of the body can run on ketones, and protein and glucose can be taken from muscles but who wants to lose "weight" by getting smaller and weaker muscles?

so does this matter if we eat fruits high in fructose like grapes?@@TimpBizkit

The Starch Solution caused me to become pre-diabetic and gain 30 lbs. Switched to keto and fasting and my blood sugars are stable and I can sleep again. Body pain is gone and weight is slowly coming off. I don't think vegan is for everyone.

​@A D ,so right if I eat this way, my blood sugar would be out the roof.we all have to know our body type.

Wait, what were you exactly eating?

​@@dorothyvanrieal7941his point is don't worry about blood sugar the higher it the better. Total non sense

Seems to be largely individual. If a dietary change happens to limit ones consumption of oxalates, and the body is able to rid itsself of excess oxalic acid and subsequent relief from hyperoxaluria. I've also read that when people switch to unfortified foods (no added iron or synthetic vitamins) that can be a significant enough change for some symptoms to go away. Excess metallic iron feeds pathogens and burdens the endocrine system, which is also disrupted by glyphosate which is used liberally in vegetable and grain production here.

yes it is,, just eat 100% Whole foods , unprocessed, no ingredients list apart from the food itself and you will be good. , there isn't a RU-vid Doctor telling you this,, it's that simple.

​@maztergee There are a few processed foods that you can hardly live without. Like any kind of milk or flour, salt or sweetner.

Actually you are wrong..back in the day people only ate meat and with fat on..Fruit only when in season..Even the colour of fruit today is completely different to how it used to be grown..These days its treated and much much sweeter..Nobody had many veg when man went on the hunt for food.

@@derryshore5586 actually you are wrong. They ate high carb foods i.e. rice, potatoes, corn, wheat, beans, millet, yuca, etc. which were abundant and available all year long if stored properly, and still to this day are far more sustainable than meat. That includes white rice and white wheat btw. Meat was only a tiny part of meal at most. The women gathered far more and far more successfully than the men hunted.

@@nubiamorton1095 They did not eat potatoes..potatoes were only discovered grown around 300 or slightly more years ago..The foods that you have mentioned were not around thousands of years ago..Rice was..today white rice has been polished and stripped of any nutrients. Bread is not the same either..it is processed. You have to remember that foods today are way different from how it used to be. Even flour is different

Of course people survived on a high fat diet..How do you think people lived thousands of years ago?..Diabetes is not about weight loss,it is about controlling sugar spikes which in turn helps regulate insulin..Medical doctors now recomend keto or a very low carb diet for diabetes..Also for people who suffer epilepsy. You need to read up on this. People who are slim also can suffer doabetes.

@@derryshore5586 all those foods have been domesticated by humans for thousands of years, you're just making up stuff. White rice is just brown rice without the skin, that's like peeling an orange, or removing the fur from an animal. I eat brown but white is not bad, and it's been around a long time. You act like brown rice doesn't exists anymore, it's in every grocery store for super cheap as it is almost unprecedently abundant and sustainable, and you can't make white rice without it. Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance. Your blood sugar is suppose to go up when you eat, you eat food for energy and the body uses glucose for energy. It's only a problem when your body can't absorb the insulin and blood glucose. Medical doctors recommend low carb diets because they don't understand this, not the sharpest knives in the drawer, and they have personal biases and other agendas. That's why they're so unsuccessful and most of them still think diabetes is incurable. You need to do real research.

There studies that show a whole food plant based diet helps resolve a non alcoholic fatty liver. You just have to ensure you use little to no oil in your cooking be mindful of nuts, seeds, avocados & coconut milk. Once your weight and liver heal up then u can add the above back in but still not in excess.

A fasting blood sugar of 92 is okay, technically. You need to be under 100. Granted, perfect fasting blood sugar is in the mid 70s to mid 80s.

Certainly must not promote a youthful appearance. He looks like he’s two steps from the grave.!!!

I have tried the starch solution diet he recommends, my sugar goes through the roof. Even 3 ounces of sweet potatoes raises it. There is nothing g in his book the starch solution that I can follow, when I try to get an answer from him there is no response about the matter. Everyone is praising the carnivore diet, but I am worried about the amount of meat one has to eat. Just don't know who to listen to. The people he says eat lots of potatoes or rice from other countries, are people who are working from the time they get up until bedtime in those far lands

Greger preaches greens n beans

While many cases prob are over eating I agree it’s not accurate, fair or prob scientifically true for all who get T2D. If it helps other good sources of objective science/evidence based health info: Nutrition Made Simple (nutritional researcher) and Physionic (molecular biologist.) I prefer the latter.

The reason both diets work for most people is because they avoid combining high carb with high fat. That is the issue. You can eat high carb whole foods or high fat whole foods just don’t combine those two macros at the same meal. The metabolism can’t handle them well at the same time. Eat whole foods, don’t mix high fat and high carb at any meal, get plenty of fiber from non-starchy vegetables, and you’ll be fine. I would add that, the only thing I don’t like about McDougall’s starch solution is that people, especially middle age and up, are not consuming enough protein. Swap out some of the starch on your plate for some low fat protein like beans, tofu, fish, etc., and you’ll have a good balanced diet.

Do McDougal's plan. Your cravings will disappear and the food is nice and inexpensive. He has all his plan details for free on his website with recipes. He does recommend you work with your doctor because often medicines require adjustments. I started out at 308 and am 283. This is miraculous for me.

Have her log her food into the chronometer app to make sure total fats are no more that 10% of her total calories

put the bar higher and go WFPB whole food plant based even high next level with chronobiology in mind "time restricted eating" our body react to food better early in the day you can cure type 1 if you fight it early before losing all your pancreatic fonction search in nutritionfact website or YT channel

@@wellthi I do all that. I was diagnosed with type 1.5 about 13 years ago. I wasn’t aware of this way of eating back then. I wish I had known about it

Misdiagnosed, Women hold on to more fat because of their reproductive requirements for the babies nurturing.

Remember that type I is different from II, in that type II can be cured by diet and type i can't. So, be careful of that. Type I will rely on getting insulin from outside her body because cow's milk proteins damaged the insulin producing cells in her pancreas. This causes the huge majority--if not all--of Type I and insulin deficiency of all kinds. MILK: it DOESN'T do the body good.

U Cut the fats aswell?

Stop eating starches. High fat low carb diet only.

Maybe eat more nonstarchy vegs and less starchy ones

How are you doing now? Try cut out the starches and eat mainly fat and meat.

I've been told by my doctor that is a normal response. I've noticed that it is less likely to happen to me if I eat some more carbs the day before? That said, I'm not able to eat a starch-based diet at the moment due to food allergies/intolerances/sensitivities.

5:03

I ate rice and my glucose went from 154 to 389. Now I'm officially concerned about moving forward with this plan. I've been type 2, 122 lbs, eat ketovore, no sugar and very little starch and Intermittent Fasting w/a 20/24 eating window. My glucose still runs between 225-330 at the highest. When I walk or do some type of exercise my glucose usually goes up. With these numbers, I'm not sure I'm a candidate for this program. Now doctor says gluconeogenesis. It doesn't make any sense.

try it and see

Wait it out, Paul. You body is changing. You’re doing “dump and slump.” Let your body heal. Eat more veges than starches.

@@detour464 Thanks Jamie. I've been quite lax in what I've been eating for a few weeks and considered doing the GL diet or low carb. But, I'm going back to McDougall. I appreciate your help. Thank you

@@qwerty1234pr A low carb diet will help you out considerably.

@@lashedbutnotleashed1984 thanks. I'm definitely considering it

​@@qwerty1234prDid you decide to start a low-carb diet?

Where were your vegetables? 1/2 plate of non starchy veggies, 1/4 vegan protein, and 1/4 starch. Another trick to try is cooking your beans & potatoes in advance then cooling them in the fridge to create resistant starch. You can then reheat them if you wish. My blood sugar doesn't spike as high when I do this. Also make sure you don't cook with oil, margarine, coconut or other fats as fat impairs insulin's ability to work

@@happycook6737 I did not use any added fats, i had veggies 2 just forgot to say, i sometimes chill potatoes before hand and reheat them without oil in my airfryer.

Eat green veggies but still eat your potatoe and beans with it

eat more protein from tvp and seitan

@@frankchen4229ew they are just man made processed rubbish

Eat Beans, Lentils and potatoes

Ask the vet.

If your blood glucose remains high you are not decreasing insulin resistance.

Don't do it.

No. It's pure sugar.

McDougall is afraid to debate a Keto doctor.

@@lashedbutnotleashed1984 And I'm sure you have evidence to prove this claim???

@@brucetowell3432 My proof is that he has never done it. Sean Baker has offered to debate him several times. So has Bart Kay.

still doing it?

@@KYLE-zo4bm yes, I’m still doing the diet, but I am concerned it’s doing damage. I’ve been staying in the 180-200 for blood sugar

​@@lindahendrick6222im sorry to hear perhaps you should check everything you're eating and stick to low glycemic foods if you want to stay vegan check other doctors videos out like dr neal barnard or dr greger
