Yes! Once I knew the truth, I wanted to succeed! And I did! So far - been doing this for 35 years. But now, with all the vegan processed foods and excuses of busy life, I have slipped into junk food vegan. But good news!! My husband - who stayed on the S.A.D., of course now at 64, has very high blood pressure and is very overweight. I can't tell him what to do - he see me, all these years, but he could not give up steaks (of dead cows). You don't stay married 35+ years by telling your partner what to do. He sees me, how incredibly healthy I am!!! So I said I guess you'll want to go to a doctor and get that treated? He researched the side effects of rest-of-his-life blood pressure medicine. I didn't say anything. Next day he lingered...and I said, WHAT IF?? What IF eating all you want of yummy food would cause you to naturally shed all that weight and your blood pressure will drop within a week or 2? What if DR MCDOUGALL IS RIGHT? Now, remember, I am 64 and in superb health, no drugs, no dr visits, great weight, great teeth. But this junk food is causing hot flashes again, I know it and I offered to go pure Plan with him. Next day my husband said, let's do it. I am so happy - he chose ME and LIFE over feeding on the dead bodies of tortured animals! I won't have to watch him die of heart disease or (you'd better believe it, as long as he takes to poop) COLON CANCER!! I said, remember in our apartment in 1985 I taped up page 31 of The McDougall Plan so I could remember what it was I was supposed to eat? He did remember. We are taking a couple weeks to clear out the bad food, make meal plans and shop, and I am re-reading the Plan, the McDougall Program, and also 21-Day Kickstart by Dr. Barnard (PCRM) and China Study Solution. They are all good books, but Dr. McDougall's oddly enough, now more than 35 years old, are still the best, and PCRM's 21-Day Kickstart is a easy and wonderful read, a must-read also if you are starting the diet. Plus Lindsay Nixon's cookbooks - any of them! - round out our anticipated success. she, too, is simply amazing - super simple. But Mary McDougall's cookbooks were the first and she is still a great cook. OMG DR MCDOUGALL YOU SAVED MY LIFE AND NOW YOU WILL GIVE ME MY HUSBAND'S HEALTH BACK. I love him so! And you guys too!!
Rear comment. We'd all love a follow up report from you.
So glad your husband is ready to try it! Wishing him success. That’s amazing you had a page from Dr. McDougall on your wall in 1985! I was 6 years old then… finally discovered McDougall in 2022. Better late than never!
Update? ❤
Hi Heather......have been following Dr. McDougall since 2020 during the pandemic. I have literally changed my life simply by looking at John's videos and reading his book, The Starch Solution. Lost a total of 65 lbs over 3 years. I am Jamaican and live in Trinidad and Tobago where we have an abundance of starch-based underground storage organs, such as Irish and sweet potatoes, many varieties of yams, eddoes etc. This is my food of choice.
God bless you all. Owe my life to John and family.
Way to go! Keep pushing! ( from a Trini)
How's the fruit over there?
Titled topic: Raw food vs Cooked begins 43 minutes and 23 seconds into the video (43:23)
ive eaten a mostly raw vegan diet -- mostly fruit -- for nearly 10 years. I've also implemented and experimented with cooked, low-fat foods. By far, raw food is a life changing experience. Raw foodists write books because it's a life changing experience. People who eat cooked food write books about weight loss. There's a massive difference. I think it's about finding a good combination of BOTH, and doing that, or one of the other. Eating 100% raw food is tough. Is it ideal? Maybe. if we lived on a tropical island like the monkeys do all day long. But is it realistic? I dunno. Take this from me after failing to do it for nearly 10 years now, and I've spent time with the so-called 'experts'. But one thing is for sure -- people who eat a large amount of raw food have a glow like no other, and if you're sick, it will cure you -- initially. I don't care what any doctor says. It's true -- i know because I've done it, and I've lived and worked at many healing centers. But raw food ISN'T for everyone. Ayuveda and TCM confirm this. So beware, and find what's best for you. THe thing is every time the concept of raw food is brought up to Dr McDougall, he compares it to raw starches, and then says starch can't be eaten raw. He then talks about raw food eaten the popular, but very unsuccessful way -- with lots of fat. Well DUH. Neither of these work. The only way to successfully eat a raw food diet is to eat a high fruit, low fat diet. I wish he would talk more about this. This is the version I've done for many years now. It's a pain in the ass, and one things for sure -- you're never full (Dr M is correct there, or you're always on the hunt for food). It takes a lot of training and it feels way better than eating starch all the time, imho, but it has it's downsides. Nothings perfect. that's my experience. You're lighter and more livelier, and definitely more high in the sky, but it costs a lot of money, and requires you to move somewhere warm with available fruit at low prices. no question.
thank you! an interesting and important additional information!
Nothing beats raw
Mostly raw vegan diet doesn’t make any sense either your raw vegan or you’re not, it’s just that simple.
@@TheFriendlyPsychopath yeah its fucked up. There's definitely the raw police. .

@@TheFriendlyPsychopathi plan to eat “mostly raw.” And guess what, I can do whatever I want and you too. Relax. You sound a little angry.
Love the scruff. Dr. And Mary McDougall have saved my life.
l do tell my friends about the Starch Solution.....it doesn't seem to move them....that's how ignorance people can be today. Ahhh well....just like anything else.....got to be open enough to want to believe. But anywho l enjoy your 60 minutes show and tell tonight. l make it my priority.....❤
Mine too!!!!!
😊
Yes! He needs to keep the beard. 😊
@tinalaplaca6638 same with my friends. Their kids are sick too. But, as soon as anyone complements me about my weightloss, high energy, clear skin and whatever else, I jump down their neck about the starch solution.
My mom developed Meniere’s disease back in the 70’s. Her naturopath put her on a 28 day water fast. She had to just lay in the bed all the time but she was cured and it’s never came back!!
A mix between raw and cooked whole food plants is best.
Always enjoy Dr Mcdougall. Just started sharing videos on my UA-cam channel about how our family of 4 has made this WFPB lifestyle work for us for the past 14 years. Keeping it simple is key. Starches are also key!
"People like to hear good news about their bad habits.".....WOW Dr. M....very profound. Thanks 4 what u do.
He didn't invent this phrase, however.
Dr McDougall had everything go to plan. He married the love of his life. Break his heart and i assure you , no amount of diet changes or diet philosophies would've saved him . Food food food is all we see on you tube as the answer to ill-health . No one ever talks about the power of happiness trumping what you eat
Diet Wars - great term. Yes, diet can be very simple it is for me- supper often potatoes and veg. I had been convinced raw was best way to go - but it didn’t work for my age and fitness. Was eating too much fruit. Got my answers from Dr McDougall. Thank you. And great job always Heather
Thank you Dr.MacDougall , i loved you talking about being on a raw food diet , and how its not necessary! Great show 😍
I've been vegetarian for 35 years and vegan for 10 and I get terrible tinnitus, probably have Meniere's disease - vertigo, ear inflammation and leaking fluid - without infection - for a very long time. I normally eat basically what this doctor recommends - a lot of beans, rice, corn tortillas, cooked vegetables etc., not much processed food, but it doesn't cure my lifelong medical issues.
I've been trying to go raw and I can say that it does give me a lighter, more energetic feeling and less inflammation. I added rice and beans and found that the brown rice makes me feel bad. Beans seem ok. Then I tried adding cooked purple potatoes and my hands and feet swelled up badly, and painfully. I'll try it again but things are not looking good for potatoes.
Also, people who eat raw (properly, with enough calories) have a glow that the McDougalls just don't have. Also, gorillas eat raw naturally, and they are extremely strong. So as long as we have access to foods edible in their natural state, we should eat them.
Some are allergic to certain vegetables. If certain vegetables or fruits bother you, consider a food allergy test. As for raw vs. cooked, eat both as long as your body accepts them.
@@margaret3785I've been tested multiple times and have some allergies identified but they don't test for everything, and maybe diet can't cure all genetic diseases. I was surprised at my reaction to potatoes, but I'm going to lay off and then "challenge" myself again.
And I've literally never heard of anyone being allergic to rice but it gives me an overall bad feeling, possibly related to blood sugar.
Food can be consumed according to your own body...listen to your body...what it rejects ..you have to reject ...what it takes you have to take...
Food always varies from person to person....every person has to choose their food items according to thei body acceptence....
Doctors only try help people depends on their studies on different people to minimise their health problems ...
Final decision maker is you depends on body reaction on different foods
@@andreawisner7358Be an omnivore and eat what suits you the best. There is a bengali word for what you mentioned, I don't know the English term. My Mother also encounters some of those symptoms. Don't just challenge your body, listen to it.
Saying all this with respect and care. Thanks!
Thank you Dr. McDougall and Mary! Such great information! ❤😊👍
Thank you again. It's always pleasant and informative to watch the weekly video. Interesting to know about the link of hearing loss and atherosclerosis.
Love this so much.
Great messages ❤
Hi Heather...is it possible in your intro to give us the date of the podcast. I think it would help your viewers and listeners to put into context the age of the podcast
for starch, eat jicama, carrots, parsnips...for beans, there are plenty that you can sprout
Thank you for saving my health. You are amazing. Thank you for standing your ground and never caving to the machine. ❤
Just the episode I've been waiting. A discussion on arsenic in rice. I am in the Philippines. Now I can enjoy my rice without praying for salvation from arsenic.
I love the sense of humor of Dr. John Macdougall!!!
Thank you for this wonderful information😊
Love these! Where can we ask questions for next time?😊
I always felt incredible drinking juice made from celery, parsley, carrots, green apple, a beet. Now it would be considered too sweet, too many oxalate. Can modify. My body loves this.
Yay!!! I like Dr. McDougall night!!
My favorite his show is so interesting the time flies by ❤😊🌲🌲🌲🧚🕊️
Maravilha de programa , muito obrigada e que Deus os abençoe 🙏🙏🙏
I laughed out loud when Dr. McDougall quipped about the raw dinner barely giving him enough energy to make it to Taco Bell! 😂
thats because he just isn't seasoned in it, nor does he have any experience or skill. If you do raw, you need at least a few years to FEEL the difference, and learn the strategy involved.
@@swimm3r137That was a nice, reasonable, sensitive response. I'm sure you're correct. I will keep your response in mind as I keep increasing my raw food intake.
I wish you the best of luck. You got this

Hello, you are all appreciated and loved ! 💜💟💯🙏
Cooked plant foods are way more healthy and Digestible. In fact, the primary reason Apes became Human was because of mastering fire and cooking. Our digestive tracks and our mouths evolved to eat cooked foods. This made obtaining calories easier and faster and freed us up to evolve our brains.
I agree that it's helpful to be around like-minded people. Unfortunately I don't have that here. I do have a doctor that was trained by Dr. McDougall, but I never get to see him, only the nurse practitioner, who has never even heard of the McDougall Diet. It's an uphill battle! The nurse practitioner ordered bloodwork for lipids and protein because she suspected I had high cholesterol and not enough protein. ??? I've been on the McDougall Diet for 20 years! Both tests were normal.
I’ve never met anyone on the diet for 20 years !! That’s awesome -I constantly get nervous I’m going to be deficient and loose my hair or harm myself -this is so great to hear -I’d love to connect with you to learn more about how you eat in Mcdougall plan
Feel free to point the practitioner towards the McDougall resources, or the likes of Prof Ornish's or similar - if they've never heard of it, they're uninformed in their practise...! If they refuse to look or dismissive, might want to consider seeing another practitioner.
@@JohnDoe-xk1dv The doctor is McDougall trained, but it's difficult to get in to see him. I was surprised that the nurse practitioner wasn't better informed, given that she works for a McDougall-trained doctor. But from what I gather, 99.9% of his patients are not on the McDougall diet. He's the only McDougall-trained doctor in this area. There aren't a lot of options. Mostly I do my best to stay healthy and avoid doctors altogether.
Why not gift one of the McDougall books to your doctor's office, to the nurse practitioner especially. You are with like-minded people online, I don't have anyone around me either but I don't feel alone with this online community and increasingly I find that when I mention to friends and acquaintances I am WFPB, many of them already know about the benefits of this way of eating and they also see how slim and healthy I have become so they're interested, I don't preach, I've only had compliments, never any hostility. Keep going because you know you're on the right path.
I am a Great fan of the basic, simple McDougall program. It is so easy to follow, its very effective and I you just try it for 10 Days you Will experience a Great change to the better. I met something very close to it in the 60’ s and it completely healed my servere migraines - and I was just so happy that I found that Way. Lager in my life I sent back to a strichter version to cure my tendency to rheimatoid arthritis - and once more it was the most effective. 🙏💚
I love my Purple and Japanese sweet potatoes! So excited i just ordered your book The Starch Solution recommended by Kiki Nelson. ❤
Aloha McDougalls from Hawaii
Congrats Dr. McDougall on your lifetime achievement award. yay
I went all fruit. My diabetes is getting better and better. I only use 1.5u a day of insulin... and that number is dropping every week. Plant based did not work for me.
There's also organic arsenic, although apparently the organic form isn't as toxic, or possibly toxic at all.
Can you post the information regarding the graduates group every Wednesday at 8am. How do I find where to join?
I tried starch but then went RAW Ive got loads of energy no pains. I choose RAW personaly ❤
Yes@ The Hunza diet!
coconuts and avocodoes and nuts and seeds are considered super-foods by virtually every expert. everyone can't be wrong!
I googled fibroids on Wikipedia which led to Leiomyoma on Wikipedia: "They can occur in any organ, but the most common forms occur in the uterus, small bowel, and the esophagus."
The way he ignores women's pain with fibroids. He is a misogynist so women's pain does not matter to him. We are supposed to just "wait" to hit menopause and be in pain for 20-30 years. Great doctor.
I do a raw lunch and a cooked dinner and a combo of the two for breakfast.
I eat Raw-Til-4 style and love it :)
I like the blue shirt 🎽💙
How does Dr McDougall feel about adding some sugar or syrup to a chopped up banana for example? Is that okay? I prefer the texture of a not overly ripe banana but they taste better with some syrup
Fibroids not turning into cancer is a myth? Whaaat???
I was 55, and my fibroid turned cancerous and i had to have a radical hysterectomy including my ovaries removed due to massive hemmorhaging. I needed 6 pints of blood! I had to have 5 weeks of radiation. Two years on, my cancer has come back. Im a slender woman who has lived an active, healthy lifestyle.
Ladies, if your gut says take it out, take it out! Before it can turn into a nightmare.
That’s what he said…fibroids do turn cancerous…that they don’t he said is a myth.
i like most of what you say. however, the oil stuff is just crazy. certain oils are prized by both western and ayurvedic physicians. in ayurveda, eating clarified butter and massaging with sesame oil are basic cleansing procedures. some western experts say the value of the mediteranean diet is not in the individual items, but in the addition of olive oil. some experts even drink olive oil daily. edgar cayce reccommended drinking olive oil.
When I changed my diet I got lower back pain & knee pain. I also was intermittent fasting to. Could this be toxins coming out of my body? Maybe because of my body holding toxins?

Why so many different opinions on Olive Oil ?? so many nutiionists differ on this ..
Unfortunately, most scientists today have, almost cult like I would even say, taken the Mediterranean Diet philosophy as the 'gold standard' after the likes of the Lyon study in the mid 90s, as well as noted when olive oil is used in the Blue Zone nations. Rather than look at the Ornish, McDougall, Esselstyn or similar programs (which have been sadly far less publicized internationally than the Lyon study).
Another thing which can confuse people, and even professionals - olive oil is certainly healthier than lard or dripping, and a number of other oils. Which is why it gets RELATIVE health benefits in comparison. Will cardiovascular disease progress slower with olive oil than the animal products and other oils, then? Sure, but it will not stop and reverse the disease, the same way as animal and oil free regimes seem to - and that includes even in the Med, where cardiovascular disease still occurs.
This is not then the same as a whole food plant based, well planned, oil free diet, which is getting the best reversals and possibly, might get the best longevity of all from Ornish, Esselstyn, McDougall etc.
Many nutritionists and dieticians unfortunately are either (a) still ignorant of those researchers and their studies; or (b) will defer to governing bodies and researchers which essentially have ignored or belittled that work. They're often influenced by money and politics that, shall we say, don't like what these have found; or (c) - they know about them, but are too addicted to the likes of olive oil, and/or animal products, that they start minimising and rationalising their effects, rather than honoring the best science.
People, including health professionals, sadly can like hearing good news about their bad habits too.
Hope that answers the question. It's really worth seeing YT for Dr M's and other people like Dr Esselstyn's and Prof Ornish's, presentations and their findings on oil, or check out Dr M's Newsletter content on this (which should be an easy Web search to bring them up).
To say Olive Oil is better for you than butter or margarine or lard is like saying arsenic is better for you than strychnine.
@@ceeemm1901 note I said 'healthier' - I didn't say 'healthy'.
You'll get better benefits from drinking water with 5% arsenic than 30% arsenic :) - but indeed, better to have 0% arsenic is right on.
However, because people's bodies and palates don't deal with oils exactly as they do with arsenic - it takes a bit more explaining.
What is ther on the wall??

Does Dr McDougall know about sprouts and microgreens ?
Mary made a great point about the “organic” rice that could still be grown in old cotton fields. I remember when I used to get organic long grain brown rice at ALDI was labeled “USA,” then it went to no country origin. Lately, it’s said “India,” so I’m thinking it was losing sales from consumers who didn’t want to buy the US grown rice, since it might be from the southeast.
Short grain rice is so much more creamier & tastier than long grain. Chinese people eat it. I buy short grain brown rice grown in Argentina @ WHOLE FOODS MKT
What I know about fish oil is that it lowers triglycerides levels.
My juicer doesn’t have blades, it’s a crushing juicer.
I sent Dr. McDougall a signed copy of my "Protein Inc" book. I hope he got it. 🥰
EDIT: Looks like it got sent back to me. I'll try again. Lol
The fact that some people even thing 100% raw is okay is weird to me. That’s an extremist view of the WFPB diet.
Nice beard you look real dignified.
They don't let the Sun ripens the fruits. They pick the fruit way to early. An apple from the tree had a lot of juice oh, now they're just not juicy.
Why does Dr. McDougall never promote exercise. Exercise is so important. Probably the most important.
The food is the most important. The next important thing is the exercise.
It's not correct that Dr M does not promote exercise - light exercise is recommended (e.g. see the Dr McDougall's Colour Picture Book presentation slides on Exercise, as only one example).
It's not talked about extensively though, for several reasons. There can be dangers of (a) people over exercising on any program, McDougall or not, before they are ready, and causing themselves injuries; (b) exercise shouldn't be used to try and compensate for a poor lifestyle in other areas, which often ends up to be the case; and (c) asking people who are often overweight/obese to start, and/or have pain around starting exercise for this and other reasons, is a big ask. Many find it easier to start exercise when they've first lost excess weight, which is absolutely possible on the standard Program.
Hope that answers your point. I have to concur with Ima - from both the science and Program's point of view, getting the food right first is most important, but actually makes exercise easier later down the line usually.
@@ima7333 Covert Bailey (author of Fit or Fat) always said exercise was by far the most important.
@@bobsays1478 i can’t remember who said it but you can’t outrun a bad habit. Exercise is important for weight loss along w/ mental illnesses like depression but not the most important. The reason i can say that is i’ve proven it. If u think exercise is the most important then u can test that theory. Just eat whatever then exercise a lot to burn it off. A lot of athletes die young for this particular reason.
@@bobsays1478 he’s a fitness author, not a health author. Dr McDougall is a health doctor although he also takes care of sick people, he promotes healthy living. Fitness does not mean health. I used to make the mistake of equating them as a buff person looks healthier than a fat person.
sjogren's syndrome is reversible. Brooke Goldner's patients reversied it on a raw food diet : )
Taco Bell, beans rice and tortillas! Under $5
I’m Keto. It’s life changing
I couldn’t do this diet because potatoes make me want to puke
Here’s to what’s best for the self …not, do this diet or you die
Starch is becoming a new religion lol
Aspirin used every day is harmful. Cayenne pepper has been found to helpful with the same concern. However diet must be addressed as Dr. McDougall has always said.
Nattokinaise is a premier blood thinner.
"People like to hear good news about their bad habits." Blending food damages food but cooking doesn't? Of course cooking damages the food. The only benefit of cooking is that it makes some inedible foods edible and adds calories to the diet. And BTW potatoes should not be eaten raw but sweet potatoes can be. So the foods that can be eaten raw should be eaten raw. And most of us are getting too many calories. I was able to get overweight on my cooked vegan diet as I ate a lot of beans, grains/seeds (no wheat), rice, corn tortillas (Mexican style, not grocery store style). Going raw with a lot of greens and fruits allowed me to lose weight at a steady pace, not too fast, about a pound a week. Adding back cooked beans has slowed the pace a bit.
Raw vegan hands down 💯% better. ❤
I don't find their recipes as simple as they claim. And, most of their recipes are too big, make too many servings. I have found a few that are suitable for me, but not many of them.
For most recipes, there shouldn't be a problem reducing levels by a third or a half for the ingredients, if you find the portions are too big. I've done that for several recipes, turned out ok.
Bear in mind too, the simplest Program recipes (and ones which the Dr and Mary have stated openly they eat regularly and like) are the likes of oatmeal and fruit, sweet potatoes and broccoli, beans and rice, mashed potatoes, peas etc. Can't get much simpler than that!
There are many WFPB recipes online & apps available to store/adapt them for you. Once you learn about the ingredients & cooking variations for this way of eating things become straightforward
The evolution nonsense is not only bogus, but it's distracting and off-putting. I'd like to believe your explanations, but when you do that it lowers your credibility.
there are good oils and bad oils. you haven't done your homework. if you got your facts straight, you might actually do some good!
