I love how they had to let Dr McDougall go because he would have told them they were WRONG! They are so full of the advertisers money. The Doctors try to make vegans look like crazy outliers. They were a bit kinder than normal but I don't see much difference in their take away.
Good for you for presenting yourself in such a straight forward and well spoken way.
Yeah it was a shame that you didn't get time to mention the real reason you are doing this challenge but still good exposure.
Bacon is spice of life for nice well balanced heart disease
exactly
They all had that "but what about protein" look on their faces, but they were too scared of Dr. McDougall to say it.
Haha!
+MegaVegan Exactly lol. Especially that woman!
+Fruity Adelle She thinks without "protein" (meat), she'd "be obese". She thinks the potato diet would make her look like a potato. Would she really stand by that claim? She must always be thinking, "carbs make you fat".
Kinda Vegan Yeah. Funny how the potatoes make the rest of us lean and healthy tho :D
"Good" ol' stupid mentality about carbs I guess,,,,
+Kinda Vegan Yeah, especially that she is obviously gaining weight...:P
I participated in the year-long diet study for MS patients sponsored by Oregon Health Sciences University and Dr. McDougall. I ate a vegan diet for a year and I am still a vegan. I have not and will not take any disease-modifying medications for multiple sclerosis. I will be 60 this year and I can still chase after my 3 grandsons and labradoodle. I thank Dr. McDougall and his team in California for saving my life.
+Laurel Ann Bower I wish I'd had that result Laurel I was so excited when Dr. McDougall said he was going to be working with curing m.s.
I'm vegan as well but unfortunately m.s. is a rabid dog in my case. So I'm on the big one Tysabri infusions. It's scary but the disease was debilitating me hard core.
I hope you continue to have amazing results and feel great! :)
+Laurel Ann Bower Wow that's such an amazing story, I've read about you before! Well done! :-)
+Lady at Large I believe I can manage my MS through a vegan diet; I have not "cured" my MS. I had a major relapse after my husband passed away last year. After being misdiagnosed for over 40 years, I have learned to trust my gut as to how I want to live with this disease. I respect each individual's choice as to how he or she wants to deal with medical issues. I do believe though, everyone should get the junk food out their lives; after the 10 days I spent at Dr. McDougall's clinic, I felt better than I had in decades.
The "doctors' " facial expressions when Dr McDougall said "but they do...that's incorrect..." was the most blatant confirmation that each and every one of these professionals has been paid to endorse meat.
+Todor “Trey” Koev Even if they're not actually paid advocates, they probably truly believe you have to eat "protein" (meat). Are they insane? We're getting too much "protein" and fat, and not enough vegetables and fruit. Of course, they think we're just getting to much "carbs". This crap will never end :(
so DR 'stroke' says eat a well balanced diet of foods that grow from the earth......since when do EGGS & BACON grow from the earth?!?!?!?!?!?!!? tw*ts
I couldn't finish watching this. It was too painful! The looks on their faces - OMGosh.....
Well done you. I found it interesting that the Dr on the show said about eating food from the earth. Not his usual line! I also can't help thinking that they may have taken a different line if Dr Mcdougal hadn't been on. Good work though 👍🏻
+busybeeme100 Yeah considering he said in one episode that it's ok to eat bacon each day. It went good considering the attitude they have had with other guests that have been on the show.
I agree - the looks on their faces were truly amusing! I thought you were presented in the most positive light that they were likely allowed to do without losing advertising dollars. So like you I was happier than I expected to be with the Potato Diet Interview! ! I am shocked he said eat natural and everything grown in the earth. He might have forgot himself for a moment there! :) I was also disappointed on your behalf that you weren't allowed to speak on the purpose of mono diet as a therapy for food addiction! As usual focus is a lil heavy on weight loss but that is what sells. And I went like oh no she did not just say that she would look like a potato if she ate potatoes! Really?? But regardless all in all I'm thrilled that the concept of an all potato diet was given air time on a mainstream American television show! May many more become enlightened after today's airtime with Spud Fit and Dr. McDougall. I sure hope they do a follow up with you as well! Continued success! I'll be following! :) Between you and High Carb Hannah's Potato Cleanse I'd say the sale of potatoes has sky rocketed! Way to go!!
Thankyou!
Who can argue with Dr Mcdougall? great job +spudfit.Keep it up!
Good job! Wait to they see you next year!
If doctors were smart they would be vegan too
"Variety is the spice of life" - his evidence is based on a cliché
QuixoticQuaver haha good point!
I really Do Not Like that Doctors Show.. They are Always soo mean to people,they always think their decisions are the only right ones. Ive seen then be mean to fruitarians,and more-they just cant be open minded!
I like the part where you spoke and Dr. McDougall spoke but the poorly educated doctors on the show each all gave incorrect information. It was painful to watch.
I think you were wise to have Dr McDougall on with you. I think you got a more fair hearing.
Glad to see the Doctors post, since I didn't catch it when it aired. I'm really glad they didn't make it all negative, and liked when the young doc just said, "You be you" ;)
Starch it up with Spuds! bloody awesome mate! Yea good point, although a starch based diet with fruits and vegetables is really a good boundary for people to stick to, an all potato diet is great because it reminds us what food really is for and that's to sustain us..we tend to get too caught up in the enjoyment that we sacrifice our health and also forget that we eat for sustenance, and it's a bonus that it tastes good (thanks to us having taste buds). The all potato diet is a great exercise and reminder of why we eat in the first place, I feel! Woohoo!
+Allan's Fruity World Thanks mate!!
thought it is a huge and important matter and it turned into a sound bite with very little information being shared......Dr McDougall , bless him, has tried for so long to get the message out and he deserves more.....thought the young Dr had nothing to say....same old balanced diet crap........and I like your food addiction message Andrew. Generally disappointed.
+neef three yeah there's only so much they can fit in with the short amount of time available unfortunately.
Eat everything in the world from the Dr who probably never had an issue with weight. He did just advocate vegan though. "Eat everything from the earth"!! You have lost a tonne of weight and the woman just said she would look like a spud if she ate them all day. At least they didn't try and defunk it. Good for you for spreading the message.
+kim Catfish yes I found that bit amusing too :-)
Sure there is no reason to limit your diet just to one product, which in Andrew's case is potatoes ... unless for therapeutical reasons as Andrew is using this diet for. As a food addict myself and as a psychologist I have to say that Mr. Spud Fit is going just the right way. As he said in one of his videos moderation just doesn't work. This sadly didn't get on the agenda.
+Blou yes that was the only disappointing thing for me.
Yay yay so happy the didn't tear you apart, I was anxious to watch!
They asked you to be on the show because they found you on the internet right? If that's true, they should know that you are doing this temporarily so it bothered me that they made it sound like this is your chosen path for the rest of your life. Other than that, I think they were much more open minded than they were with Happy Healthy Vegan!! So smart of you to request back up from Dr. McDougall, I think that helped them to not be so condescending as well. Good job Andrew and continued success to you!!
Well done sir, well done. Thanks for doing this.
Yeah, shame there wasn't time to share more information, from both yourself and McDougall. I liked that they weren't really negative about it, but the whole segment seemed kinda meh to me. Not enough info to be positive or negative really. But hopefully might be enough to get some people googling yourself and McD and find out some more info that way :) Regardless, well done :)
Yeah I agree, it wasn't super hard or ground breaking but if it gets someone to think differently about nutrition then it s a win...
+Elle Ⓥ I think 'meh' in a plant-based context is about right, but in international mega commercial mainstream talkshow TV 'eat-meat-and-dairy-or-you-will-DIE' land it's more 'Holy shit what did he just say about eating what grows from the earth?!' 'Eureka!' BINGO!' and many other game changing superlatives is more accurate :)
Spud Fit haha, very true. I was shocked, and very happy when he made that comment about eating a varied diet from the earth. Jaw literally dropped!
Andrew, they were so nice to you. It was great to hear Dr. McDougall. Somebody, please gift The Starch Solution to these people!
good job
I have never seen that show...but the younger dr in the scrubs...is he Vegan ? His comment @5:45,,,eat natural foods that grow from the earth and you will do just fine" greek yogurt , fish and chicken breast ...which seem to be the trendy foods that experts are pushing on us for health...do not grow from the earth ........so he is Vegan ? right ?
wow, the McDougall contradicted their belief that potatoes don't have al the nutrients, they "ran out of time"
Good for you and your challenge, be well
Notice how they had to take a jab at the "banana only" diet? They probably know how much HHV makes fun of their show, and they're trying to discredit Ryan and Angie again ...
Wish it was a longer segment but at least they kept it positive. 👍🏻
Great to go back and watch this experience
Great work mate!
thank you Dr. McDougall she makes me wonder what her doctorate is really in
I can't believe Dr. Stroke (thanks Ryan from HHV) even said that eating "all natural foods from the earth" was healthy! Better then they have treated others - excellent!
I also see the loss of weight in your face!
YOU ARE WONDERFUL AND DR JOHN MCDOUGALL AMAZING!!!!! So awesome he spoke up for you!!!!!!
The best!
Very positive, and hopefully more people will look you up and find out the real details of what you are doing and the results you are getting. Well done!!!
+Paul Edwards Yes if this gets some people thinking a bit differently then its a win!
love my starchy foods :)
It's great that you got the notoriety - and were able to share your story. It's too bad that they fell back on the same old tropes.."Just do what you do!" and "There's a different - special, crazy diet that anyone can try and that's fine for them!" and "Everything in moderation!"...etc. Different diets and different foods cause different effects on the human body ( there's a "best diet" for humans...just like there's a best diet for lions or bears or gorillas ). You can't claim that you're sure that "YOUR BODY" functions best when you drink a pint of olive oil every day. Nutrition doesn't work that way.
yes
I participated in the diet stu
Glad it went well! Good job!
Enjoyed seeing you on the show with Dr. McDougal. I have several of his books including "The Starch Solution" and I think he's given good nutrition advice over the years. I hope you write a book too about your potato diet because I'd buy it!
+Steve Kimball I think I will write a book. I don't think I could do it properly until after I've transitioned back of this diet for at least a few months though, so it's a while away yet...
I wish one of the "doctors" would have tried the diet for a week before the show before giving their input. They did seem supportive though. So, good thing.
Yes that would've been nice!
I came here from HHV and just wanted to congratulate you! You are doing great and I wish you all the best :)
+Alina Toft Petersen Did HHV mention me!? Got a link? Thanks for your kind wishes :-)
The proof is in the results that you have sustained for years. I wish they’d do a follow up episode
I'm old news now!
it's so nice to see you then and to see you now! Can you do a video talking about how you feel about seeing you in the beginning?
Good idea.
I can't remember where I read it, but the either the producer or executive producer of The Doctors are vegetarian & the wife is vegan. I'm so glad it went well and they didn't turn sarcastic with you like they usually do with some of their guests.
I think HCH said that when they called her
Oh cool, I hadn't heard that! The producer that I dealt with in the lead up and afterwards was fantastic though :-)
+Vegan Adventures with Gene & Jenn Yes! Thank you! I knew I heard it somewhere, for some reason I thought I read it lol.
+Spud Fit I'm very happy you had a good experience.
It was a shame you didn't have the opportunity to mention the food addiction and THAT was why you decided to just eat the one food. But beside that, I feel it was very positive
yeah this all felt so quick to me!
The worst show on the planet. They didn't really ask you much. And the old guy is a drunk, and I'll bet money on that. You were good, and so was Dr McDougall. But they are a pack of ignoramuses. When you hear what else they say at other times, you catch on. And that woman saying she'd look like a potato if she lived on potatoes demonstrated her ignorance.
Yes I thought there was a lot of ignorance too. Still it was good to get exposure for the humble spud :-)
Hey I'm sure their agenda is well greased by industry. Sometimes it PAYS to be stupid! lol
That didn't sound like a phone call from john it sounded like one of his youtube clips but they were good for a change welldone 😊😊😊 and you face is looking thinner 😊😊😊
+Natalie Blake It was definitely a phone call. And thankyou :-)
+Spud Fit oh good 😀
haha oh man, nice video, but the doctors just seemed worried.
will this reverse my type two diabetes? I will include greens and veggies only.
A couple of weeks ago a bloke wrote to me that he tried it. He'd been diabetic for 30 years and cured it in two weeks! Good luck:-)
Ditto here on the above.
If eating mostly potato, probably safer to eat some foods with vitamin a and some raw foods with vitamin c, and also take vitamin b12 supplements.
+colonyofcells del machine potatoes have heaps of vitamin C, HEAPS. Sweet potatoes have heaps of vitamin A and I'm supplementing B12.
I heard that vitamin c can be destroyed by cooking. Can get more vitamin c from sweet potato if sweet potato is eaten raw. Sweet potato is one of those tubers that can be eaten raw.
+colonyofcells del machine I'm getting over 500% of my daily vitamin C needs. If some is destroyed in cooking I'm sure there'll still be enough left for me to use...
Do you eat organic potatoes?
+Jesse Ward Yes but I don't think that's overly important for health, since the potatoes grow underground they don't get spray on them.
+Spud Fit -- Oh, they spray potatoes too.

I like the way he said 'incorrect'. Black/white.
But I don't like how the young Dr. said 'on this train right now'....since the 70's? Love how McDougall's message has be so solid for decades. Good segment, Andrew.
Smudgemom2003 yeah... he based his argument on history, and how population sustained their potatoe diet for 6+ months without major deficencies...but I'm always skeptical about certain minerals and vitamins which are the potatoes are low in, like vit E, etc...
Spud Fit Do you eat a variety of potatoes and sweetpotatoes (sweet potatoes for vit A) ? an what thoughts your doctor give on vit E and other potential vitamins ?
+VeganBanana There have also been studies of people on potato diets for extended periods. Yes I'm eating sweet potato and I'm not worried at all about other vitamins and minerals. I don't expect any deficiencies but I'm getting blood tests at the start of April and if I need to change anything then I will...
Spud Fit I like your responsible attitude.... Good luck on your journey :)
That went well!
