Been on a vegan diet for 3-4 months now and my chronic acne has almost disappeared.
I only stopped meat and sugar, for the most part, and fluoride completely, and am feeling much better, 4 months.
Me too!
Ya but you all have to be careful and monitor liver function in tests. Because the skin always looks good vegan in the beginning but i have known at least 2 vegans maybe 3 or ex vegans who had serious skin problems caused by liver problems after being vegan for 4-6 years. The range of amino acids to feed the liver some more rare in plant foods like glycine glutamine and precursors to glutathione are low in plant foods. Anyway both of them were devote vegans even having their own website promoting veganism and organic vegetables. sprouts ect with speakers and writers that could add their info on the website but only if they were promoting veganism. And they still did this when they had to change from the diet because of their life threatening liver situation. Just look around for people you will find what i found. Or maybe in Canada its too cold to be vegan. But PHD in nutition Chris Masterjohn also had a life threatening situation eating vegan and regained his health eating meat. And he is not fat. Its one sided information. There are so many people who do their best to eat perfect but fail on vegan diets.
SquareheadX amen!!!
Pradhyumna Gupta helped my skin too! Use to have to take accurate :// never again! People don't believe me my skin was so bad, I would pray for my skin t heal, and eating healthy foods has changed my face and life!
ill tell you one thing. I havent met an unhealthy person on a starch based or vegan diet doing it properly.
True
+Josh Pellerin I'm on both and I'm still overweight over 60 lbs. What am I doing wrong?
What are you drinking?
Stephano Gold Just water. Last year I lost a ton of weight way too quickly and then had a break down and was put on meds that made me gain over 30+ lbs. and now I'm overweight and can't seem to lose it. I know it takes exercise but the weight is still hard to get off. I'm off meds now and I mostly eat really healthy fruits and starches, I guess I need to completely stop eating junk but I moved back in with my mom and she buys so much vegan junk. >
Dang I'm at a loss then. I was going to say nothing but water. I've been where your at before. Hang in there and you'll figure it out Everyones body is different making it very hard to give advice.
Dr john MC dougall is a wonderful human being
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Zeke Layton Instablaster :)
@George Cason I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@George Cason It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
@Zeke Layton No problem =)
I do best on Brown rice and beans and potatoes-- I buy all of the best and this is what keeps my blood sugar at a manageable level-- I do not eat dairy or meat or oil, or processed and refined sugar. It was white sugar and aspartame with the dairy that made me unable to walk. Today I am feeling much much better-- THANKS!
+gorilla twist That's awesome! Beans, rice and potatoes are inexpensive so buying good quality, organic varieties still shouldn't cost that much.
gorilla twist sugar is not the villain. Fat is!
This was the video that switched me from Paleo to Starch Based. Thank you for saving me from those awful diets in 2013
"the reason you're sick is because you eat the wrong diet for human beings" 33:25 Dr John Mcdougall.
Exactly!!
As a high carb vegan, my health issues didn't go away until I eliminated wheat & corn from my diet. Now when I eat them, it makes me feel sick & tired and I had other minor problems such as stuffy nose, joint pains, keratosis pilaris, bags under my eyes, which have now all disappeared.
I do fine on spelt though.
Maybe it's because they are more than likely GMO
Most interesting. I have little symptoms with noodles of the cheap type also. Must be related to the missing bran... Or the high overly engineered amount of gluten, maybe it is bad when there is too much but fine when in older species such as spelt?
badabadude I am glad to hear you can handle spelt. I can’t handle the modern wheat, but was thinking of trying spelt to see if I can handle it.
one of the best lectures on health/nutrition that I have seen.
honestly I'm probably know where near a decent person. I've honestly never felt like I've had any one to look up to . from my view my parents never cared about me , due to who knows. and I've never cared about myself. 17 days ago I started to care about myself my name is Brian I'm 41 and have always abused myself do to being broken hearted from abuse since I was born. thank you for being you and teaching me to take care of myself. I hope that if even in the smallest way that I will some how impact even one person's life in a meaningful healthy way. I'm grateful I found you and I'm sincerely thankful...brian
keep at it, brian
How about we add raw vegan as another distraction. Many people get sucked in to believing that a raw vegan diet is the healthiest way to be. From what I have seen there is no good evidence that raw vegan is any healthier than a healthy cooked food vegan diet. Look at how many people end up giving up a raw diet. Even some promoters of raw veganism aren't raw anymore. If raw were so great and healthy people would be able to stick with it. Starches are something most (many?) people can stick with.
I wonder how fruit cultivation compares to starch cultivation from an environmental standpoint?
purplemutantas Agreed. In fact, there's a guy who I respect for his support of water distillation but then he starts talking about raw foods and all this b.s. that you get brainwashed into believing if you ever try a raw vegan lifestyle. And he makes some outlandish claims about youthful appears because of water distillation and other things I won't address. Funny that i watched a video of him from a few years back and another dated 2013 and his neck looks like that of a 65 year old man.
purplemutantas oatmeal and unpolished rice are Super healthy and cannot be eaten raw . So the raw vegan diet is not good
Spider Salticidae FALSE. Raw vegan are idiots oft as not and this is sad. BUT raw vegan CAN work - if you eat the right stuff. Nutritive stuff.
Agree with you completely. it is another distraction and a way that No One has eaten throughout history.
Thing is your oil consumption probably goes way down on a raw vegan diet. Even if you top your salads with it it will probably be less than what people tend to cook with. That's the only advantage I see
I've been vegan for 8 years, but struggle keeping myself off vegan junk-food (cookies, cakes, oily foods). Since going on holiday this year in Sweden and having all of my favourite vegan baked goods, crisps, ice cream, etc. for 3 weeks, I haven't been able to shed the 3 kg I gained as a result (despite hiking and biking lots during the summer and autumn). I'd say I'm relatively active. Although I sit during working hours, I don't have a car, and I walk and bike most places if I can (and use public transport when it's too far). Now I've decided to go on a healthy, whole-foods, plant-based diet a week ago, and have already come down 1.5 kg in a week (WITH NO ADDED EXERCISE). Also, my mood has been so good and my energy levels excellent! This is such a great way of eating. Also, cravings are completely gone within a couple of days. Now I really don't even want to cheat on this way of eating, because if I do, I know my cravings will come back.
Keep up the great work. This video changed my mind about wheat belly. I then bought all McDougalls books. Best investment of all time!!!!
@@jeffreydrhodesI did too, I previously followed so many different diet videos, when I discovered Dr. McDougal, it all made sense and the rest are all fads; I quickly ordered all his books and watch every video, all his interviews, presentations, all day, every day, even when I'm cooking, driving, when I shower, clean my house, and before going to bed, I've turned into his biggest fan. 😂
I LOVE Dr. McDougall! Such a magnificent motivator.
Wow, this is amazing, all my friends and family need to see this. I started vegan in 2005, fell off in 2011, have gained or 20 lbs during this time, but I'm slimming back down and getting healthy starch/veggie style!!
Nonsense. My girlfriend went from SAD diet to eating non-organic GMO fruits and vegetables (couldn't afford the expensive organic produce), and all of her health problems subsided one by one. She's healthier now than she's ever been. I'm not saying GMO is good, but it obviously isn't as big a problem as people make it out to be.
Maybe the "Wheat Sensitivity" is really glyphosate sensitivity? Stuff is all sprayed with Round Up right before harvest.
I love Dr. McDougall's work! I must strongly disagree, however, with the idea that GMO is just a distraction.
First of all, it's been shown to cause severe and life-threatening problems, and many doctors have taken their patients off all GMO. My wife and I realized that's why we couldn't tolerate corn (severe digestive issues) -- because we'd had non-organic, and it was GMO. When we learned about genetic modification, we tried some organic corn, and had no problems with it whatsoever.
Secondly, it doesn't just sit there in a GMO farmer's field, but spreads itself to neighboring farms, sometimes 50 miles or more away; and once that neighbor's crop is contaminated, it can't be "uncontaminated." As much as one-third of organic corn loads now test positive for GMOs at a low level. "Ears of corn may have a handful of kernels that test positive. All we know is it's becoming an increasingly difficult issue."
Monsanto has sued hundreds of farmers after the farmers' crops were infected, and therefore the property of Monsanto. If the brakes aren't somehow placed on Monsanto's efforts to eventually own the food supply, they'll succeed.
If you don't mind removing corn, soy, and whatever else they choose, from the world's safely edible food supply, then keep on ignoring or downplaying GMO. It is a MAJOR issue.
"...GMO...it's been shown to cause severe and life-threatening problems..."
Do you have evidence of this? I'm having difficulty believing you on another note- your demonisation of an entire technology, not shoddy corporate practises, but the technology. So I'm curious to know/see what kind of evidence you have other than anecdote.
"Monsanto has sued hundreds of farmers after the farmers' crops were infected, and therefore the property of Monsanto."
This goes both ways, as farmers have also sued Monsanto because of contamination because of GMOs.
TurboDally Yes, and good for the farmers for fighting back. If I was a farmer and my crop got contaminated, I'd sue them too. That's reasonable. If I was a farmer and their stuff blew over into my field by no fault of my own and then THEY sued ME? Do you really think that's equivalent?
And does it matter whether it's the technology or just corporate practices? It can take the equivalent of 20+ years of testing to uncover potential problems caused, and if we get it wrong, we could have contaminated the whole food supply before finding out (it could take centuries to clean up all the GE corn and soy crops in the world today, and trillions of dollars). We should work with nature, instead of trying to change it. When we do the latter, we always manage to mess things up.
Here are just three articles and one site covering some of the studies proving GE is unsafe. It's incredibly easy to find countless more.

***** And cigarettes have been proven to help you live longer. Some people could be shown endless studies proving something is deadly, and still believe the paid ads that say it's good for you.
***** A large number of countries have banned either the importation or cultivation of GM crops, including Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Germany, Ireland, Austria, Hungary, Greece, Bulgaria, Lexembourg, France, and Switzerland.
***** And there are still lots of people who swear dairy products are good for you. Or that it's healthy to eat lots of butter and steak. I'm sure Monsanto wishes everyone was as easy to fool as you.
I love the thumbnail for this video. Dr. McDougall has had it with paleo!
I have followed some of these low carb fad diets and I have never been fatter or sicker.
Me too. I was so stubborn tho, that I stuck with it for 3 months. Just kept telling myself that Im feeling great and thats a natural diet and all. Could not stick with it. Skin got into horrible shape, my periods were really painful and digestion was poor.
I can imagine that some people actually do feel better when switching to paleo diet, since they have lived with prosessed food before that.
Oh, and I also lost some weight at first, but after that my weight stayed the same and I got it all back when I switched off the diet.
Patricia Williamson My step mother had me on a diet like keto when I was a kid. I was always hungry. All I took to school for lunch was a package of lunch meat. I'm still over weight. I been plant based for almost two months now. My sugar level has been between 90-116. When before it was 127-130. A week ago I was kind of hungry for cheese and pepperoni pizza. And chicken that night. My sugar level the next day went back up to 127. I almost gone off of plant based. I said nope. The next day I went back on it, ate, beans, pasta, fruit, soft pretzels. Checked my sugar level agin the next day. It went back down to 101. So I am a firm believer now that Plant Base eating works. :)
Patricia Williamson later on you will feel the long term damage of your health like atherosclerosis
Marie H.R I think that's the key to some of these diets. They cut out processed foods and they see results.
McDougall is not saying to focus attention on animal products at the expense of GMOs. He is saying NOT to focus on the Paleo nonsense, the gluten-free craze, or the GMO situation (which all the research indicates is a red herring), and instead to focus on basing your diet on whole starches and other plant foods.

Love, love, love his passion. I can't wait until I get to see him speak in person.
We will agree to disagree on GMOs. I don't see how it distracts from a plant-based diet.
Frank Bales Look up Glyphosate and now 2,4-D. The problem isn't the genetic modification, it's what they're dousing all these plants in these days.
It can make those who cant afford organic fearful of produce.
Dr McDougall and Mary have opened my eyes to the truth about nutrition. My life is forever changed
Dr. McDougall is so wonderful to share all his knowledge! Love him!
Please add subs to your video presentation for our deaf, vegan friends.
+tractor Tractor, Veganism is far from a religion. Do you call eating meat a religion? If not, then why would you call eating vegan a religion? The simple truth is this. McDougall, who has made it his life work to study nutrition has probably avoided the entire GMO discussion and doesn't realize how widespread it is, hence his comments.
tractor
Great. Good for you. You don't like veganism then fine. But don't call my way of life a religion when you are poisoning the planet and using up all the water to feed your fat face.
+tractor There are TONS of facts. You don't know anytihng about veganism!
You're a troll. Educate yourself and don't annoy people who actually want to learn something.
tractor Please you don't have any idea. "Vegan crap"? Have you only eaten meat dairy and eggs your entire life?
Thank YOU Dr. McDougall for making this available to the public! Knowledge is POWER! :)
he looks pretty good for his age..
I am very much against gmos but I agree that animal products are a bigger concern.I put gmos next. And I think he's right that ignoring that elephant in the room and instead freaking out only about gmos is bad bad bad! And being distracted by the bs media lies like atkins etc..he mentioned is horrible obviously too!
I have been a Vegan for almost 3 years. We switched over to the high carb low fat diet about 6 weeks ago. Strangely enough, I suddenly had the energy to start working out. Concentration and mood also improved. High carb was what we were missing on the vegan diet. Dr John McDougall has had a tremendous impact on our lives. Oh, did I mention that I am losing weight (fat) and building muscle. In the past even on the SAD diet it was tiresome to work out and results came slow. Now it is easy and the results are rather surprising. I challenge you. Try it for a couple of weeks. It really works.....Also, you will save a bundle on your groceries.
are you saying you started eating meat again?
I’m glad you said this. There’s a difference between a vegan diet and high carb low fat diet.
That's amazing! I live to eat - I admit it! But I try to keep it high in carbs and veggies because I work a 9 hour day and exercise. Here is my daily plan: cereal with (homemade) almond milk and fruit, salad or steamed veggies with a bean based soup or gazpacho if it hot, two snacks of smoothies made with fruit, nuts, greens and water, dinner of pasta, or a big salad, or soup, or baked sweet potatoes or a rice based dish.
secondly his assumption that people saying they are gluten intolerant shouldn't say it unless they truly are is odd, because reports say that the more people that go gluten free, the more gluten free options there will be for those who actually suffer from ciliac disease.
It's like when someone says "Oh, can you remove the almonds from my slice of cake? I'm allergic, I'll break out in hives if I eat nuts". Then people think it's only a minor danger to people with nut allergies even though some people will go into anaphylactic shock and die in minutes if they consume even a small amount of nut oil by accident. It's like desensitizing the public to the real dangers for that one percent with real intolerance.
@Lin: So because we assume that people are too fucking stupid to understand that people have a variety of responses to allergies, that person has to just live with hives? It's not okay to avoid foods that reduce your quality of life?
Of course. Unfortunately people are fucking stupid so the distinction should be made more clear to the public so that people understand the worst-case-scenarios can/do happen despite their friend-of-a-friend's intolerance being minor.
Brilliant. I love Dr.McDougall's blunt outspokenness. Loved the video comparing low-carb advocates to plant eating advocates.
I agree with McDougall that plant-based diets are healthier. What he neglected to say about "Wheat Belly" is that today's wheat has been altered by bathing wheat seeds with sodium azide (a poisonous gas). The book was more about eating poison than about eating gluten as Mr. McDougall has suggested. Does that mean McDougall is in support of eating poison? Why can't we just eat a plant-based diet that is not genetically altered by humans? That sounds like a healthier choice to me. That said, I did like McDougall's slideshow on all the low-carb guru's showing that they were fat, so McDougall is not completely out of the ball park with his suggestions.
The Guru We can't eat food that isn't altered by humans because of this thing called civilization. The plant foods we have now aren't the same as the plant foods that ere available in the wild. If I am not mistaken wild potatoes were toxic. It took intervention by humans to make potatoes edible.
I agree that taking poisons "out" of a plant is civilized. However, putting poisons "in" to a plant to improve yield is not civilized, which is what my comment was about. Humans can intervene for good or for bad. You cannot lump all interventions into one category.
What a good man
a true Genius a true pioneer I have learned it all from you Doc!!
THANK YOU!!!!!
He right and I love his passion 💗💗
I enjoy enormously watching and listening the presentations of Dr. McDougall a ma extremely knowledgeable who make it fan to learn.
Come on people... HE IS NOT SAYING BUY GMO FOODS! He's saying don't make that an excuse to eat trash! Focus on eating the right things first... THEN you can start nit-picking details. He doesn't say anything about eating raw either. This is a beginner's guide to smartening up about your diet. He makes it very clear. Once you get to the point where you're eating vegan... THEN proceed to avoid GMOs, buy organic, and buy local. But those are ADVANCED dietary concerns.
If the research says that something is safe, what basis do you have for saying it isn't?
Amazing! Love it. :-)
More people need to listen to Dr. McDougall. I just added this video to my facebook page:
facebook . com/E3Diet trying to help get the word out. I believe education is the answer and Dr. McDougall is one of the few experts people should believe.
This joke has saved lives. What good have you done?
He did'nt tell what the "leaky gut" people should eat.......and how they can improve or reverse their condition...
I didnt realize there was training to teach the starch solution- I have been looking for some way to do just that !
AMAZING LECTURE...THANK YOU!
Amazing work doctor
The energy, devotion and sheer fierceness of this guy!
That's how you can be when you eat a whole foods plant based diet, folks..
The rats fed GMOs did not develop minor problems. They developed huge tumor all over their body. At the very least we must require mandatory labeling.
kaunas888 Please note how this discussion has gone off the track instead of being about healthy plant based eating, it is now about GMO's. This is the distraction Dr. McD is talking about.
+kaunas888 Surely, you are aware of the criticism of the Seralini study you are referring to.
This is not a scientific study or interpretation. rats are pumped foods in methods that cannot be separated from the studies. To date there is no scientific peer reviewed study which confirms GMO's are bad. Secondly, which GMO's are we talking about. we act as if GMO is a single product
Best doctor and an awesome old man ever!!
Who is going to lead us through this change? Us. Quite simply word of mouth is very powerful and living by example.
2017...We are still pushing on.....
By the way, does anyone know what music is playing at the very beginning of the video?
great mini-video doc!
can someone tell me how many days after going strict 0 fat vegan I will have a change in insulin sensitivity ? I know MCD gets some results in his 10 day retreat...
Thank you Dr. McDougall! A passionate talk about 1st World Problems. We are abundantly blessed and need to focus on this very real issue of health.
Dear Dr John do U think your diet of starch will help me with my parkinsons disease?
dr tamur i am realy thankful for educating so comprehensively solution to major diseases i am your army for ever as i treated my mothers alzhiemers
In 1995 a book was written called" the good calorie diet by Phillip Lipetz" and then he wrote another book called "naturally thin and powerful" which talked about the like between serotonin and the proper foods. Lipetz was the first person to talk about the glycemic index whereas only diabetics understood it. The book was highly scientific, so it was not a great hit. But he even thought that corn and white potatoes were too "sweet" and raised the blood sugar. Rice cakes were bad. some things were worse than table sugar, back then he even brought up high fructose corn syrup. He also didn't want people to eat too much fat including cheese dairy and eggs (sparingly) and maybe a little meat (sparingly) The good news is pasta is made a certain way that makes it digest slower and is a "good calorie". He explained how too much meat will eventually raise your blood sugar also. People that came from poor countries were thin til they came to America and could afford meat and animal products.
I listen to the videos for hours to reset my thinking. There is so much opposition from media, stores, restaurants, peer pressure that I need to submerge myself in the best alternative - Dr. McDOugall (I like the capital DO so I'll keep it).
I wish I could see the signs that the diet/food world is changing for the better. I wonder what Dr. McDO is referring to?
So if you do have Celiac Disease, what is the risk of cross reacting to other grains?
I have been eating plant based for 3.5 years and have lost lots of weight and I have kept the weight off, unlike friends that have been on "sugar free" "calorie counting" and "paleo" diets where they cannot sustain the diet over the long term. A low fat, plant based lifestyle just makes sense. I have had friends come to me wanting advice on weight loss that say " but I could never give up meat or dairy products". These food have become an addiction, just like smoking, for our over weight population.
Eat together with them? Start them off with 1 plant based meal a day for a while then help them work their way up?
Excellent presentation. I am trying to switch over to starchy diet but I get strong cravings for dairy sometimes.
Look up how milk has heroin like chemicals. That's why it's addictive.
Perfect recap of this great presentation at 44:17.
Wheat (through gliadin and WGA, the wheat lectin) causes leaky gut for everyone to some extent, not just for celiac. That is often why someone will suddenly experience intolerence or allergy to certain types of food. That's part of the reason grains is the first thing to drop for people with non-celiac IBD. The other reason is that it also causes disbyosis which exacerbates leaky gut.
Thank you, John.
AWESOME!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who are you represent? The food companies or the seed companies?
I did a 4 week elimination diet that included no wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts and other categories of food. When I tried to reintroduce wheat with one pita chip I got a terrible headache, I waited 3 days and tried again, same headache. I refrained 3 days tried again and got another headache. I've been wheat free for 5 years now and I have no more joint pains or headaches. My question for Dr. McDougall, would you say it's not wheat that caused my problems? I was confused as to whether you believe in wheat intolerance or not.
Lou Anne McKeefery I would venture to say it's the glyphosate. That is the monsanto roundup ready product sprayed on all non organic wheat.
+Lou Anne McKeefery McDougall does absolutely believe in gluten intolerance. Regardless, there are plenty of gluten-free options for a vegan diet. :)
Try doing the amazing liver and gallbladder cleanse.
Thank you, thank you.
Love this video and I am so glad I have adopted a vegetarian lifestyle!
Same hehe. Made my cock very hard.
Goory Kaur Me too.
DoomiePookie That is one of the advantages of this way of eating.
I keep saying this, but it's true! This guy is a hero!
watching again...
Your little video is hilarious.😁😍. It makes a compelling message.
Excellent
Thanks for the info...... Yay!
I really appreciate the work you have done and continue to do! I believe my generation is going to have to clean up a lot of these broken systems and rewrite our cultural normality, starting here in the US. Everyone I know is waking up and eager to learn more. Thanks again for the great foundation you and your like-minded colleagues have given us.
I loved the "still lean", "still fat" clip[. I went whole food plant based a couple of years ago after my morbidly obese general practitioner referred me to an overweight cardiologist who immediately wanted me to get back on statins. Since then I have lost 17 kg and have ceased all medication. Why would anyone take advice from doctors who are unable to address their own obvious health issues?
Do you advocate eating white rice and white bread?
So what is the advice for someone like me who is underweight to eat? Hashimoto, Osteoporosis, alopecia, bloating, dry eyes. Been off gluten, dairy, soy, corn, and oats for years.
I still follow a plant based lifestyle and it's easy to loose weight. I was 224 pounds before starting my plant based lifestyle and been a non insulin dependent diabetic for 5 years plus hypertensive! Now my waist line is shrinking and easy to loose weight plus off my maintenance for 9 months. I am blessed by God to have a plant based doctor who helps me regain my health
Well no shit. You are trying to defy your genetic heritage as an omnivore. Of course you will waste away! All fad diets are bad for you in the long term including vegan.
Respect
It is true about gluten free diets and gaining weight. I went on a gluten free diet because I have two autoimmune disorders. I gained 60 pounds and I was already overweight to start with!!! Anyways, I am now on a plant-based diet and am losing weight.
welldone. God helps you.you opened my eye's.
Ok, just a small observation. The "lean" looks unhealthy "lean" the "fat" looks maybe a bit rounded, yes. Is there a middle?
explain why there is no such thing as essential carbs??
To be fair to Barry Sears he is really a MID CARBER in between McDougall and Atkins. He gets called a high by the low carb group also. However, High carb low fat starch based is the only way to true weight loss. Love Steamed Rice
What I get out of this is that there is no single solution to every problem. In order to lose weight and be healthy, it's not just changing what you eat-or how much- but it's a critical lifestyle decision that you have to be able to commit to.
Not sure how you got that out of it. He bluntly said it's what you eat that matters, and the other stuff is all distraction.
I switched from sweet and low to stevia. Is this OK?
Probably you know by yourself by now,
yes, much better option. 😊
Also Monk fruit sweetner is very good.
🤗
thank you Monsanto for this video
The effect of Monsanto's GMO crop have an significant affect on health compared to processed foods and most animal products.
So many good points in this video! Thank you!
inspiring still.
I've been following a diet very similar to the one McDougall advocates, and I have seen wonderful results. I usually watch all of his videos (as well as any by Neal Barnard, Caldwell Esselstyn, and T. Colin Campbell). Why do you ask?
GMO foods have devastated the farmers in India and many other countries by not allowing the farmers to save seed from year to year. This forces them to purchase seeds from giant corporations like Monsanto as Monsanto owns the patents on the seeds. It also eliminates biodiversity. In India there are literally thousands of varieties of rice that farmers bred to withstand different environments but these are quickly being lost. Also many farmers are extremely poor and cannot afford to purchase seed each year. The Monsanto grain may not be well adapted to the particular environment and the crop is lost. There continues to be an epidemic of suicides among small farmers in India and elsewhere. It is a terrible situation and is growing worse. I for one don’t want to give the world’s food supply over to a few multinational corporations. Save seeds! It’s one of the most important things you can do. They are literally life.
I still love Dr. McDougall, though. 🌿
Also, McDougall should be *applauded* for saying what he actually believes (and backing it up with scientific literature), rather than just sticking to what's popular. If the scientific research shows that GMO foods aren't the problem, so be it. McDougall risks unpopularity to say the truth, and that should always be commended.
Best vegetarian doctor around. John McDougall is one tough cookie.
I’ve done keto for months and it never worked. I had stages where (despite eating normal calories) I would be starving like I was dying and eat 5,000 - 10,000. Although my skin was fabulous and I stopped bloating, Keto just never worked for my body. I think the key is being aware of where your food is coming from and avoiding processed foods and vegetable oils.
I started paleo because I’m celiac and some grains can mimic gluten and still give celiacs reactions. I know people who have done Keto and thrived. I think it’s about finding what works for your body and avoiding the poisons in the supermarkets. I’m still trying to find what does. I only eat organic, especially with meat and eggs.
I have insulin resistance so I really do NOT lose weight and I gain on high carb and my blood sugar gives me a lot of highs and lows. When I don’t have animal proteins long-term, I get constant headaches and have no energy (even when replacing with other healthy proteins). I started reducing carbs on paleo and began to feel like I couldn’t be satiated again (like I felt in keto). I feel like it’s a balance. And I feel that different bodies have different needs. I think the people who swear by specific diets (keto, paleo, starch) is because it’s worked wonders for them. I think we need to realize that different bodies respond differently. The only “one-size fits all” is that no one should be eating the standard toxic foods and chemicals and not overeating sugar. As far as keto, paleo, starch, etc. I think it depends on the person’s body.
I also like how paleo cuts out inflammatory foods like legumes and dairy. I have SIBO (from years of untreated celiac) and an autoimmune disease. So paleo is very healing to me. But, people jumping in fads and eating tons of processed foods, undoes the purpose of these diets.
Beautiful suit.
I'm sure you get this all the time but, for the record I advocate a whole food plant based diet I took cornells plant based nutrition . Where's the issue with raw fruitarians that is eat seeds,and not starches and cooked food ?
tsscc starch solution class cant wait to start.
After seeing this I went straight to the kitchen and tried to gave gluten one more chance I ate an "organic" whole wheat bread and after the 1st bite I was happy, but after 10 minutes I began to feel abdominal cramps and now I feel a lightheadedness. It is worse if it is whole wheat than when it's refined so I removed gluten from my diet because it gives me serious mood swings as depression or PMS.
I think the sensibilities could be real as I am also lactose intolerant too and I get terrible stomach cramps and AWFUL farts after eating lactose ... so it's not my imagination. People should understand and accept once and for all that not all people are as equal and everyone has a different stomach ..
A majority of the population of people on Earth are lactose intolerant. I don't think it really has anything to do with your gluten problems.
