Rob Lovegreen This doctor is a quack. Really the fat u eat is the fat u wear. How long is he going to perpetuate that lie. The fact is there are essential fats and proteins but not carbohydrates. Sugar kills not fats.
+Sean M where is your research that Dr. McDougall's diet is illogical? Are you a doctor? Do you have any training in a science or medicine? What about all the Asian people who have always eaten a starch based diet low in fat and oil? I say you're the quack. And a troll.
Agreed, about the starched based diet bit..but is it also, not true that many Asian people have also eaten animal products in addition to their starched based diets? Which, would probably still make their traditional diets lower in fat and oil than the typical "Western Diet?" I'd also suggest that the addition of substantial quantities of sugar have had a profound impact on weight/health? Certainly, that was one of the major arguments touted by the founders of the Macrobiotic movement.
+Donald “The Spook” Rumsfeld - he is a fraud. ms isnt caused by bad diet. Its an auto immune response to dental materials. 85% of most ms / transverse myelitis sufferers have had dental work done prior to onset of symptoms. this mcdougal tool is a charlatan and pushing a tree hugging agenda and taking advantage of vunerable people in pain. If his method worked then he would have a nobel prize...i guess he will be waiting a long time. get the dental metal out of your mouth and chelate and you will see improvements.
+JosefineVV I never mentioned milk at all. I got ms in 2013...tried everything and no joy ... had my fillings and root canal removed and suddenly the ms has gone away.....I eat a low carb. zero sugar diet with loads of meat. I don't advise dairy. some tolerate it better than others.
Listen carefully from 23:31 on. This is the perfect explanation of people wanting to "hear good news about their bad habits" regarding the "heart-healthiness" of using oils. Doc McD YOU are a National Treasure!
Thank you for all your information that has educated me. I'm a new vegan for seven weeks, but now I'm learning about no oils and this is my third day on your 12 day diet. I'm spreading the news about the plant based diet and even at my age of 69, I can still be healthier. Again my heartfelt thank you!
@@jamestyler3458 if you eat corn as it is natrally then it is good. But corn oil has been removed from the corn so that means it has been seperated and no longer natural. Make sense?
Oily food has made me so sick. Eating lots of potatoes makes me very healthy. I am so happy the DR McDougal speaks the truth and validates what I experience in my body.
This is a great interview by a skilled interviewer. He asks the right questions and allows Dr. McDougall to speak without interruption so we can all benefit from what he is saying.
@@ritahall2378 Yes, it has oil inside, even fruits and veggies have oil. But think about how many fruits or veggies it takes to even get a Tablespoon of oil.
Right. We don't have access to oil that is separated from the food naturally. Dr. M. Gave the example of coconuts. The unprocessed meat has oil which makes it a rich food that is fine in moderation....but coconut oil by itself is not good.
It's because those foods are so addicting and like Sawar says, it's the perfect combination of fat, salt, and sugar that makes it that way (the pleasure trap). There's scientists making this food that ensures it's an ideal combination that we like and want more and more of it.
i agree on 100%. i am not a fan of hearing only what i want to hear, but hearing the actual truth no matter how unpleasant it may be. the last few months i've been using olive oil in almost every lunch (not excessively, maybe a good tablespoon or two depending on how much i cooked) and dinner, because i read about its health benefits and wanted to include it into my diet. when i think about canceling it, it's not a pleasant thought because i think: how do i make the food taste so good then? (my partner is not 'vegan', but since i prepare all meals during the day he mostly is) i want the food to taste convincing for him! on the other side, either i just close my eyes (and ears lol) and believe what i want to believe or i am tolerant and open for new information. i trust dr. mcdougall and know that he wouldn't speak up for something if he wasn't 100% sure about it. he's fighting what i am fighting for for 40 years, so why should i be openminded to everything except the idea of oil being bad and then completely shutting my ears - just because i dont like what i'm hearing?
Make that most people, and it's not just that they won't accept the truth, it's that they think they already know it and they're not up for a major change that would be required.
Absolutely love these videos. I have lost 50 pounds and my blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose have returned to healthy numbers by following the McDougall starch based plant based diet in less than two years! Looking forward to hearing Mary next session. Thanks guys!
There are exceptions. Just like some people are alergic to peanuts, there are those who may not do well with this diet. But it suited me perfectly and changed my life for the better!
(using wife's account...) One thing that I noticed help tremendously is to only eat when feeling real hunger down there in the gut, instead of eating just from appetite up in the stomach. Our bodies are stronger than you think.
Dr Mcdougal is one of the nicest people I have ever "known". It is said that who we really are on the inside comes across like a finger print. It cannot be faked and in his case what can be seen is beautiful and warm, generous and loving... he inspires trust. I believe every word he says (except about omega 3 lol.) What a lovely, precious grandfather he must be. and so openly loving towards his wife. A wonderful person.
I agree with you about Omega 3. Low grade, highly processed vegetable oils, like safflower and canola, are light years apart from cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil (used in moderation). Heart attacks only became a problem after man-made processed oils were introduced.
Thank you for posting this video!!! I have learned so much!!!! We are starting our whole plant based eating lifestyle and are hoping to feel much better!!!! I really appreciate your time in helping to educate all people!!!!!!
To those posting that Dr. McDougall looks his age or older, and that is your reason for turning up your nose at the message about nutrition that he is trying to present, I encourage you to watch his RU-vid video "Do Not Cath, I Will Sue". He has had some trials in his life that affect his appearance. Ever heard the adage "Don't judge a book by its cover", or maybe "Don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes"? Let's see how good you look when you're 70--if you're still alive then.
+Edward Sanville Ed, you're ignorant and pathetic. Go on an all potato diet as McDougall advocates and see the amount of muscle mass you will quickly lose. Get a DEXA scan before and after. You have absolutely no idea of any science of how the body works.
2 weeks ago i stopped eating oils...coconut and evo were my two favs. I've also let go of my daily consumption of nuts and seeds. My heart and body feel much different/ lighter. I'm done.
You should strongly reconsider adding nuts to your diet. Don’t take my word for it. www.health.harvard.edu/nutrition/why-nutritionists-are-crazy-about-nuts
I just love Dr. McDougall. After all these years he's still so passionate about what he does, working tirelessly on spreading the truth about health and nutrition with the same enthusiasm as he did over 30 years ago. Gotta admire that kind of conviction and commitment. He's truly an exceptional human being.
I can't believe how much easier it is to do my dishes now that I don't coat my pans with oil. I always think of the time and water I'm saving, not to mention saving the fat and calories. My friends are amazed that they don't miss it.
I lost 30 lbs effortlessly by going vegan, then my weight loss stopped. I started to look around for a more structured approach and found Dr. McDougall's work. I've been following his advice (high starch, no oil) and I'm down another 2 lbs this week!
I would enjoy reading a study about how 'science' is owned by industry. Dr. McD please keep us informed when you write/publish it if it's ever even allowed to be in a scientific publication.
+katyaxkatya there's actually an entire book about it, quoting many such studies. It's written by Colin Campbell and it's called "Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition"
Kundasang, Ranau, Sabah is famous for their dairy farm. It's true, we're one of the countries are at risk of obesity, overweight and cancers because of western diet. I mean seriously, my grandmother doesn't become overweight because of rice. She loves ice cream, fast foods etc. because she doesn't have the knowledge about nutrition. I'm really worry about my family's health, fat genes ran in the family because we just loves meat, barbecue and fast foods. I don't want to be fat for the rest of my life and I really grateful for discovering this webinars.
I am from USA, but living in KK. I am now developing a workshop for locals in kampungs that will share this type information. Let me know if you get this message. Terima Kasih
Dr. Mcdougall, thank you for what you have taught all of us on how to save our life so easily just by following this simple recipe. I'm sixty years old and all of the ailments that were happening to me have reversed himself and only two months. high blood pressure. cholesterol. lost 10 pounds. libido went through the roof. better skin. better sleep. all in less than 2 months. you are going to have a very large following. do this for me. on your website please add a contribute tab so we can contribute to what you have done for us. your listening audience. we will be glad to support you the way you support us. once again I say thank you. you are no less than Moses saving his people from their calamity. may God bless you even more.
"They're trying to make up a new truth" So true! The industries do a good job confusing people, myself included. I'm vegan but believed the "healthy fats" myth and have been eating too much olive oil, coconut oil and avocado oil. I was even at a "healthy foods" cooking show and when the chef had the Q & A at the end I asked if I can skip the oil. She snapped at me with, "You need healthy fats to survive!" Ok time to cut out the oil. Thanks for this webinar, very helpful!
This Q&A is extremely helpful when it brushes on some very good areas for the new vegan, such as what about omega-3s, and do we get enough fat. It puts my mind at ease, the answers. Ancel Keys is bashed by Robert Lustig. Now, I know a lot of what Lustig says is true, but I agree with the bigger picture that there are multiple problems, including too much fat and too much sugar. I have a bunch of new foods today, including potatoes. I need to buy potatoes cheaper, though. I live in an area where there are some farmer's markets but i never went before. I will soon.
I've cut out all oil with two exceptions. Sometimes I just need to get out of the house and eat somewhere else. There are two restaurants that serve amazing baked potato cubes. One tosses in butter and the other in vegetable oil. I hope that's okay. I've had amazing results with the potato diet so far, so I am willing to make those two exceptions so I don't lose steam (haha) by always cooking them at home.
If it's just for weight loss then a little oil is OK by me. But it's the other health consequences that make me say zero oil. But I still searching for the evidence to be sure to be sure....
I'm so looking forward to Mary's talk! Remembering what to eat and what not to eat is easy enough but knowing how to cook without the conventional methods like frying is a different story. Please, please, please, if you could make it more practical for us who are struggling with the how, i think we would all appreciate that a lot. I'm very slowly expanding my cooking knowledge, but not nearly fast enough to keep my tastebuds interested. I am struggling HARD. Especially with how to make things fast and more tasty. Too often i still cave for the fast and easy callories because of time. You know, slowcooking is nice and all that and i love making dishes that have to sit in a slowcooker for a day or sit and simmer for 2 hours, but it's not exactly practical most of the time and i imagine for most people because of work and childrearing obligations, especially in this time of double work hours and single households. Thank you Dr. McDougall. The oil is truely the hardest part to get rid of. It's in everything and used for everything. Yikes.
+melovescoffee Using microwave can be very helpful when trying to cook almost everything without oil. add garlic cloves even unpeeled and you have great food. Rice, potatoes, soups, vegetables, all come out wonderfully with a good microwave. Just season and cook until tender. always cover for better results.
Eat fruit! There's nothing more convenient to eat when you're hungry, even just enough to keep you satisfied enough to cook something healthy. Also, my tastebuds have yet to get bored of a perfectly ripe mango! As for replacing oil, just use water - you need to use a little more than oil. It works exactly the same. I love making vegan curries and thought it'd be impossible without oil, but there's honestly no difference.
Also, your tastebuds will adapt with time. I used to hate salad without any kind of dressing, or cooked vegetables or other foods without salt. Now I savour the taste of both. I tend to make food in big batches and freeze what I can for convenient meals too, which really helps.
Will the host or the doc answer melovecoffee.? These know-it-alls selom do! Dude, you should go to your library and do the research; a little detective work can be a lotta fun!
Most people can't give up oil because it is the only thing that I know of that gives food that crusty or crunching texture that we love so much. I've given up trying to get my fried potatoes crunchy. While water or vegetable juice will keep things from sticking to the pan they don't help to make anything crunchy.
potato fries in the oven without any oil are way crunchier than deep fried things. oil doesn't make everything crunchy, more the opposite. the only thing is oil in the pan will make it easier to let the heat spread across the whole surface, heating more of the surface than without oil. giving it the illusion it's crunchier. but without oil things will stick to the pan and burn in hotspots (not so well spread heat). I haven't tried it but there are ceramic pans that don't stick, even without oil.
When I stop eating oil and go low fat, my skin crepes terribly. I've never had crepey skin, so this was a shock. I am eating Starch Solution, but Avocado Oil saved me. My skin is super plump now. Thank God. It always worries me if the oil I eat is going to cause health issues.
We’ve been on potatoes for about a month now. Losing weight and feeling better already. Just gonna keep going till we’re happy how we look and feel. Thanks for the great information. 👍
So much of what he says sounds convincing, but not what he says about coconut oil. I have seen significant positive results from it in dementia. My mother has dementia, it was getting very bad, one foot in the grave bad. About 2 years ago I saw videos of those who had treated their own dementia and who on the verge of losing all quality of life. Their positive experience made me curious. So I tried it with my mother, a tablespoon morning and evening. The first day she had more energy, by the second day she was out digging in her flowers, and over the next days her memory and mental clarity improved dramatically. It has not cured her, but it has given her so much of her life back. So maybe certain oils and certain uses of food oils do have unhealthy effects. But I know from two years of first-hand observation that it can really help cases of senior dementia. Not sure what Dr. McDougall has to say about this...but I see the positive difference coconut oil (drunk from a spoon or small cup). Maybe it falls under the category of medicine as he indicated. But for this use, it works as advertised.
So interesting, in the face of many many doctors and people promoting coconut oil I'm seeing a small but valuable percentage of doctors saying concentrated oils of any type are not so great. I believe McDougall, Esselstyn and Greger all agree on eliminating coconut and olive oil along with the obvious ones that nobody should ever eat. Thanks for the re-iteration here.
Even some doctors believe industry funded studies and media-pushed studies, such as the time magazine article with the cover showing a stick of butter and the words 'Eat Butter', 'Scientists labeled fat the enemy. This is why they were wrong'. That is literally 'fake news'. There is fake news out there, and it is killing many people.
This is actually soooo true. When going out to eat, oil is in almost EVERYTHING, and it truly is toxic for consumption. I'm so happy to have come across such an amazing doctor who shares the truth to the world
+The Hardcore Vegan Ⓥ they DROWN stuff in oil, especially when I order only veggies, they serve me olive oil with some soft mushy veggies swimming in it. It's disgusting.
Yeah, that's why I RARELY go out to eat. The best places to go out to eat, at least for me, are ethnic food places...NOT the "Western version of ethnic food"... but ACTUAL ethnic food places, like Ethiopian food, Indian, Chinese, Nepali... you name it! Those pub food spots are no good!
This is actually soooo true. When going out to eat, water is in almost EVERYTHING, and it truly is toxic for consumption. I'm so happy to have come across such an amazing doctor who shares the truth to the world
What if you put a little olive oil on a plate of leafy greens, such as a fresh salad or some chard or kale? How is that different than eating nuts or avocados? You are eating the oil with fiber and nutrients, etc., not just plain oil. Is it the total amount of oil you eat? Or is something about the refining process that is especially bad? Many studies have showed the health benefits of nuts, for instance. Lower risk of stroke, less risk of dying from all causes, helps in weight loss.
Some people, like me, ate allergic to aloe vera. A great alternative that also doesn't clog pores and helps with acne and dermatitis is hemp oil! They actually did clinical trials on it.
+schniamhy **Hemp SEED oil Hemp oil clogs pores in some people but hemp SEED oil is 100% noncomedogenic with a comedogenic rating of 0 (on a scale of 0-5 that explains how likely it is to clog your pores, imagine jojoba oil is a 2 and coconut oil is a 4!!!)
Great video you always make the most sense! I watch Dr. Hyman's videos and he has really been pushing eat fat get thin. He is also now a pupet to the cleveland clinic, so it will be interesting to see where that relationship goes.
I rented a room from a Italian lady. She was an exceptional cook. She’d cook up my favourite : eggplants and peppers fried with basil in virgin olive oil. Delicious radicchio salads drizzled with extra virgin oil. By the time I left her home 6 months later we both laughed at how fat my gut became. And I was eating no junk food and walking up hills 1 hour a day
Just plain oil will actually bind with your native skin oils and then dissolve them. It takes more away than it helps you out. Ever tried just stopping this, and watch what happens?
@Dale Kevin yes but if the research was that obvious then would there not be more saying the same thing? That is oil is bad. That's what I don't get if it was that obvious then more would say it. Which leads me to wonder that it might not be that obvious.
I use coconut oil when out in the sun. In my case I have found that I don't burn and the next day I am tanned. I have been doing this for years. My thought is that the oil helps protects the skin and that too much skin cleaning removes the protective oils. I do listen to his videos and like them.
that happened to me too. I read somewhere that it might happen, and to keep using it because the skin would get used to it. I kept using it and the breakouts did stop. I am looking for a lighter/thinner oil now though, as coconut oil doesn't feel good on me in the summer, it's so thick.
Coconut oil is actually a comedogenic oil with a rating of 4 meaning it is very likely to clog your pores! There's a scale of 0-5 (the comedogenic rating) that each oil has in order to explain how likely it is to clog your pores. Imagine coconut oil is almost right at the top with a rating of 4!!! If you want to use an oil on your face that won't clog your pores I recommend hemp SEED oil (hemp seed NOT just hemp oil which can clog pores). Hemp seed oil has a comedogenic rating of 0 so it can't clog pores. :) You can use it to remove your makeup (if you wear any) and then apply aloe vera gel which is super moisturizing and oil free. A lot of peole recommend jojoba oil, but it has a comedogenic rating of 2 so it can still break you out.
A big thanks to both of you gentlemen I appreciate listening to this good news again and again. Have a wonderful day both of you thank you again and all of you who are watching and listening have an awesome day God bless everyone. PS Dr McDougall keep the beard yep yep yep keep the beard I think Mary agrees with me right Mary❤❤ 🙏
Very good info. I was told that coconut oil should be taken every day to help keep one from getting cancer. This information makes more sense to me. I wasn't really a fan of downing unnecessary oil.
I wish Mary McDougall is my grandma, chef AJ is my mom, freelee is my sister, JohnMcdougall is my grandpa, Charles be my dad, drewlikerice be my brother, we'll be one big happy healthy hearty family.
I really like the way MCD still keeps the oldschool teachings going, starches are the best way to start. Gregor and Furman and others does have points that you can follow later on. But basics in plant foods are the cheapest and then after this change you follow others that might optimize your health. Yesterday i heard that half a billion have type 2 diabetes and the news said that a medical company will see growth in sales of their type 2 medicine, but no talk about what can be done food wise, and that's why people are obese and sick in the first place (NOTHING NEW HERE!!!).. Let's keep ppl stuffing themselves and we'll cure them with expensive medicine and not cure the real cause anyway.
I talk to people all the time about changing their diet, and the result is they don't like me as much and they physically cringe when I speak to them. So, the answer is to shut up, go along, and watch people kill themselves with bad food. Terrible!
flyshacker they might cringe in your face, but then they will go home and google the stuff you preached to them. it will make them think. please dont give up on trying to help people change. maybe change the manner you offer info so its more sneaky and appealing
I don’t blame them. You should shut your mouth and mind your own fucking business and let people live their own lives and make their own decisions. If you claim to be so concerned on their well being, try leading by example with your actions and behaviour and not your condescending criticism.
When people ask me why I’m so fit I tell them, then they cringe lol. It plants a seed that they can grow themselves. I don’t think preaching helps, it over fertilizing in my experience. Just be a superhuman example, and if they get bad enough, they will come to you because you have researched the science out there about an optimal health lifestyle that they should consider
Eat whole food plant fats instead .such as nuts olives and avocados ...saute your veggies with water or veggie broth....I am amazed I don't miss the oils at all.
I was wondering about essential oils and the health benefits they are said to have. Are they good to use on the skin and in our air diffusers? Loving these videos. Very informative!!!
Yeah but grains are not easy to get at all. You need to get them out of the plant and then grind them into flower etc. To make bread etc, you need a lot...
Were the olive oil and coconut oil, etc.used in these experiments, organic first cold pressed or heated oils? That could make a big difference as to whether they react well in the body or not.
