Thank you, John and Mary, for writing the first book I read on the subject, "The McDougall Plan" in the early 80s. I decided to do Macrobiotics which is vegan, but just to say, I couldn't get the idea that the potato was something I could adopt. I had struggled with my weight my whole life, and still thought I knew more. You were right. In the long run, after using dairy again, I eventually returned to the McDougall Plan as I found myself again fat and sick. Now I'm carrying 80 lbs less and have overcome a lot of health concerns. Thank you again for saving me from myself. Lynn
Tip: If you want to make a low fat peanut sauce I recommend using powdered peanut butter -- it has around 90% less fat compared to regular peanut butter without sacrificing creaminess or flavor. (I've made this low-fat version on top of an asian stir-fry with some teriyaki sauce and it was heaven!)
Thank you Dr. Mcdougall. For helping me save my own health & improve my life 20x. I am 29 years of age. My parents are watching this now & I hope it will improve their health & life span too. Your videos are a huge gift, thank you for all the effort you put in them! Much appreciated 😊 blessings to you Mary & your family.
I read your book 6 years ago but listening to these videos totally encouraged me to get back into starch solution full force! I have lost weight, feel more flexible, and my skin looks so much better! Just by cutting out oils and prioritizing starches. Thank you for hammering it into our thick headed skulls 😄
Thank you Dr. McDougall for your lifelong dedication to dietary truth by giving us clarity to the fog of misinformation by corporate food companies. I love my potatoes.
❤ 😊deep gratitude for your beautiful dedication!!! We are going strong since we understood the whole health situation thanks to your work Dr John McDougall! Already 7 years, still regretting not finding you earlier!!! We love potatoes too! One of my dreams is to inspire people (my family is turned on too !) And I will cultivate in the near future potatoes 🥔 too! Your confession of a fish killer is amazing 🥲 and could be great 😊 as a wonderful pep starter talk !!! Thank you so much for your patience and passion ❤️🔥!!!
I thought in India they also eat a lot of dairy. That would cause the heart disease. I work with people in India, and I got into a conversation with a gentleman one time during a phone meeting. He was telling me about typical meals in India. Lots of rice, yes. But Dairy a major staple over there. Milk and cheese mostly.
You have saved our lives. I love your plan to do seminars on individual topics. ie. heart disease , diabetes, cancer and I look forward to watching. Thank you for all you do to help every one of us. Bless you. You’re a good man.
Thank you Dr. McDougall. I respect your lifelong hard work to educate the public on the best way to eat not only for humans wellbeing, but for the wellbeing of the animals and the planet. I love potatoes! and I love Dr. McDougall, the OG of plant-based nutrition and weight loss.
@Peter Rabbit There is a book called 'Counsels on Diet & Food' by EG White, and it says a lot of what he is saying from about 120 years ago. Interesting. See also Prof Walter Veith.
@@zamfirtoth6441 No because you can eat 1kg of potatoes for a meal or more but you wont eat that much butter in a meal or you will congest your body so much and be sick.
You are doing SO incredibly much for humans, animals and the planet. Thank you SO much. I just received your article on protein in my mail, and had to come over here and leave a comment. Wow the knowledge and truth you are spreading (so generosly too and for so many years) is incredible! You revolutionized my life. I'm so thankful ♥️
I bought a mountain of sweet potatoes the day before Thanksgiving. They were on sale for .49/lb! I ate them almost everyday through the beginning of March! 😂
Keep screaming the truth from the rooftops John! You are the most accurate, genuine and joyful promoter of healthy living, which is the only hope for the future. Eat potatoes and adopt. :0
People in Germany survived the 2nd Worldwar ,because they had Patatos,there exchanged Gold for Patatoes,many Farmers got rich during the War,because of that,,,,I'm German 74 years ,healthy and I love my Patatos !!!
Thank you Dr Mcdougall and Heather for Part 2 which was just as excellent as part 1 of the Potato Mastermind! I am so looking forward to the series where you discuss individual diseases. Thank you so much! Would you ever consider putting all your newsletters in book form? I would buy that in an instant!! Happy Easter to you and your family!!
Dr. Mcdougall you help so many people, and we appreciate you so much! I'm trying to get started with your program, and I'm praying many of my family members will as well! My husband said all along we should be eating carbohydrates and low fat, but I was brainwashed by the mainstream narrative! I've actually been vegan for years, but not low fat vegan. I did try low fat raw vegan the first three weeks we went vegan, and I did lose 23 lbs, but it wasn't satisfying, and was hard to keep up with it with little ones. I pray I am able to not only help myself, but others as well! Thank you so much for your honesty and integrity, and putting people over profit! God bless you Dr. Mcdougall!
If they served baked potatoes to patients with death's-door cancer at the Gerson Clinic and got them well again, I don't think cooked potatoes are causing cancer.
Really really enjoyed this 2 part series!!!! I have several of your books. Nothing but admiration for you & all that you're doing! Thank you so much!!!
@1:10:20 I am insulin resistant but love and eat potatoes, beans, corn, and peas on my weight loss journey. Learning that carbs improve insulin resistance is encouraging.
@Keith Russell I'm on the right track. I hardly use oils, except for 2T of salad dressing 3-4 times a month, but having a 1/4 avocado in my salad and 1T of heavy cream in my coffee is such a struggle to give up. Thanks.
@@rachelcoleman4693 I've recently switched gears by adding more protein in my diet. My insulin resistance is improving. I'm always full and I'm losing weight slowly.
Always thought Van Gogh's "Potato Eaters" was a sad painting. Listening to Dr. McDougall's info about the potato has revised my view of the people in that image.
Thank you both for everything that you do. I’ve been on plant based for almost a year but I’m stuck on my last 15 pounds .I got to go back to the book and read it again I’m always learning by watching you and I love the tie ♥️
Can you stand another tip? Some others have suggested making your plate 1/2 vegetables [greens, salad, etc] and 1/2 your actual meal; that way you're still getting a good volume of food, but 1/2 of it is low energy density. Of course keep it very low fat at present.
@@JoAnn_Vegan_USA ... we don't weigh and measure, dont restrict, or portion our food. That's the old diet mentality. Just eat the foods Dr McDougall outlines in the free plan on his website (same as The Starch Solution) and you'll be good to go. We eat till comfortably full, and eat again when hungry. Never knew what that was till I practiced it. Stay away from any one who restricts or portions. You never learn how to eat in a healthy way with that kind of thinking.
The potato was pushed, because wheat was harder to come by and reserved for the troops more than anyone else. General slogans of "eat spuds if they are on the table, before slicing bread" were used. Plus you could literally grow potatoes in your back yards and community gardens, even on your balconies, opposed to wheat. They also recommended to have chickens for eggs and meat and also rabbits. Rabbits were small, ate grass and such and multiplied very quickly. They also pushed for margin, as a substitute for both butter and lard. However margin is worse than both. But at the time it was not known or at least publicly. Regardless in short spats it was ok, just to get through the harder times of restrictions. So as you can see, as you are very well aware, just because the government pushes for something, doesn't mean it is healthy long term. Or that it fits your ideas of health or humane treatment of animals.
I lost my round face years ago by going WFPB. If I go his way Illdevelop skeletal face syndrome😂. I eat lots of sweet potatoes and white potatoes. So did my grandma who lived to be 114 years old by including fruits and vegetables and grains and not a lot of meat.
I like to steam potatoes, and then put lime, turmeric, black pepper, chili powder, and honey on them. It's such a delicious anti-inflammatory savory sweet treat. They're my famous potatoes. 😄
you got me convinced , i will become flexitarian, an educated one. thank you. most days whole plant based and on occasion eat meats and others:). my absolute no's are sugar and junk foods.
Love potatoes but what about buckwheat? I feel no one talks about it though it has 0 fat and high carb. Our eastern Europeans call it kasha! Breakfast lunch and dinner. Thoughts on this seed?
Potatoes are easy to grow. They will grow just about anywhere.they do best between 40 and 85 degrees F. Watch some Home Grown Veg videos and see how easy it is. I grow mine in 5 gallon buckets. I make my own potting soil but any store bought potting mix will do. I grow determinate varieties in buckets and indeterminants in raised beds. It take about four months to get a crop. I plant 5 to 7 buckets a month right now but I also grow them in 18 gallon bins and raised beds.
Love that talk on blood sugars. That carbohydrate aka SUGAR makes you MORE insulin sensitive! Coming from brainwashed keto/carnivore eating to this way of eating. Eating that old way, I watched my morning blood sugars steadily rise, to where I was 105-110 in the mornings. I did that crap for a good 12 months or so. Eventually things started happening that indicated this was not right….😓Now in the past two weeks, I’ve watched my morning blood sugars go from over 100 to 97, to 91, to 86 and this morning, 82👌🏼 I don’t take my glucose every morning, I’m not a diabetic. Just an ER nurse who likes to know her numbers 🙂so I take my blood glucose every once a while for funsies. And I was well on my way to insulin resistance with that old way of eating that was LOOWWWW carbohydrate and very high in protein and fat from dead animals 😖I wish I could undo it but I can only move forward. And man it feels good. I’ve lost , what feels like, a whole systemic level of inflammation. My sleep has gotten so much better. Upon rising, I am just in a good mood. Nice waves of well being all day. Workouts and running seem less hard! Which is making me push harder/longer/faster! But I feel light and agile! My face, fingers, wrists and legs are much less puffy. Was gassy and diarrhea at first but now have normalized I feel and nice BMs in the morning and tummy feels no bloating at all. Digestion getting optimized! Grateful for this man and all he’s done. Also Healthy Emmie on youtube! Check her out y’all! Potato on my people!😘🥔
I started growing potatoes last Sept and I grew them through the winter. I grow mine in 5 gallon buckets set in Kidde Pools filled with mulch. I drill holes around the bottom of the pools so they will hold a little water but not much. I put lots of holes in my buckets. I put tomato cages on my buckets to help the plants stand up so they get plenty of air flow. I put 2x4x36 welded wire fencing around the pools to keep critters out of my buckets. I winter I hang clear plastic over the fencing. I hang reflective foil faced insulation inside the fencing on the north side of the pools to concentrate and reflect the sun light back onto the plants. On freezing nights I put clear plastic over the pools secured with spring clips. Now I am going to see if I can keep them growing through the summer.
i started potato . 1 week in "wtf im not hungry for much else? some fruits some nuts... some beans." 1 month in "wtf im not tired? i added some oatmeals and frozen blueberry.. wheres the vegetable tho..??" im surprise 1 month potato and a couple o thing (b12 d iodine oat bluebery banana pasta garlic sriracha soysauce) i odnt crave anything else, and i lost fat alread so much lol easyyy so cheaaaap delicioussss
I like baked potatoes with cooked pieces of bell pepper and mushrooms, where the juice is thickened with flour to make a sauce and then hoisin sauce is added.
I live on potatoes, rice and vegetables... Selfishly, I'm worried that the price of these items will go up when they get popular!! :) Wishing that this year will be healthier for everyone than the last.
Thanks Dr. Mcdougall. I am going to eat more potatoes. Can you do a program regarding protein powders and green/red powder drinks. Lots of vegan UA-camrs push these and I was wondering about your take on these products
Thanks for this presentation. Dr McDougal is a true gem. I was so happy to see the study on people in New Guinea. A physician told me not to eat sweet potatoes when I had fibroids because it would negatively affect hormones. I searched and could find no such thing in the literature....this is very helpful!
I buy only organic potatoes and do my very best to clean them thoroughly before cooking, it's impossible to remove every particle of soil, so my question is what happens to these microscopic & barley discernable particles within the skin when they enter the body, does the body absorb them or flush them out! Thanks!
I haven't had a chance to watch all of this. Do you address oxalates in potatoes? My bf has been told not to eat potatoes because he's a kidney stone former. He (unlike me) still eats some meat (mostly chicken). Any ideas on this? Thanks in advance!
I really hope a starchy plant based diet can help me to regain my health. A high saturated fat an cholesterol LCHF diet caused me to develop angina. I'm most certain that I have plaques in my arteries now. Turns out I have the APOE4 allele with cholesterol hyperabsorption, so LDL particles from saturated fats oxidize even more and my body sucks up cholesterol and cannot get rid of it. I even got reprimanded by Lindsay Taylor who is an administrator on Mark Sisson's Keto Reset Facebook page for recommending that people who do not do well with saturated fats replace them with olive oil and fish. I never liked olive oil or fish, but I loved sweet potatoes and beans. I went on a low carbohydrate diet many years ago because a low fat diet was not able to treat my acne. New breakouts every day and left behind scarring. If only that had not been the case, I would never have gone for the low carbohydrate diet.
I bought a membership at Costco here in Toronto, ON Canada for the sole reason of buying my organic starches - only to discover that they do NOT sell organic potatoes or rice at Costco:(! I probably should have checked before I bought the membership but I have heard Dr. McDougall often say they buy their potatoes & rice there & I just assumed he & Mary would be buying organic produce. Since potatoes have recently been added to the "dirty dozen" I really feel that organic is the only way to go. Thank you for another wonderful lecture Dr. McDougall.
Dr. Mcdougall I use hydrolyzed collagen powder in my coffee. Is that a bad idea? I have a really bad back and I was told that it would help with the cartilage of my bones as I was told from my doctor that I have osteoarthritis and osteoporosis? What are your thoughts on the topic?
Here's a couple of video clips by Dr. Klaper [who is also a plant based doc] 1st; about collagen boosting foods. Our bodies make collagen; we only need about 9 amino acids from the foods we eat; our bodies make the rest of the amino acids and form them into proteins. 2nd; With bone strength, bones, like muscles, get stronger with use; if you do some weight training [even with light weights] that will stimulate your bones to become stronger. hope this helps : ) ua-cam.com/video/9u61PLomN7Q/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/-hF3g1-cRB4/v-deo.html
If you really follow the McDougall diet it can help your total healing very much. Eventually you can listen to Dr Michael Greger also , but the easiest and really basisk solution is organic whole plant Based with focus on the starch solution such as discibed so Well from dr McDougall 💚💚💚
It's true to a point, but carbohydrate in the form of glucose not fructose. As Pritikin noted one negative aspect of a carb only diet of (potatoes, molasses etc) was stedily RISING triglycerides. Higher triglycerides are indeed a risk factor for heart disease (Rosenman) almost every study confirms that as trigs are blood fats. I'm sure that a high carb diet does improve insulin sensitivity but humans do require some fats as well.
There’s no such thing as a carb only diet eating real foods, potatoes are not the same as simple sugars and they contain proteins and fats. Funny too because the diet you’re decrying does quite well for heart disease. The only way you could east a carb only diet would be to only eat simple sugars.
In your introduction, you say "protein is dangerous. it's always in excess. It's never too little." Then in your first slide on the potato, entitled "protein = ideal nutrition," you list what presumably are the virtues of protein, and among them you list "loads of protein and calcium." So, I'm confused by the contradiction. On the one hand, protein is dangerous, and on the other it's one of the virtues of the potato. Please clarify.
Thank you, John and Mary, for writing the first book I read on the subject, "The McDougall Plan" in the early 80s.

I could listen and learn from you on a daily basis! You are my hero!
You, Sir, have never let up teaching the truth on how to save ourselves and our planet. Bless you. I hope your grandkids carry on your message.
Tip: If you want to make a low fat peanut sauce I recommend using powdered peanut butter -- it has around 90% less fat compared to regular peanut butter without sacrificing creaminess or flavor. (I've made this low-fat version on top of an asian stir-fry with some teriyaki sauce and it was heaven!)
Careful with peanuts they carry a lot of mould!!

The potato is a staple in India along with rice. As are chickpeas and chickpea flour A billion plus population that is predominantly vegetarian
That have lots of heart disease for some reason.
@@Syntaxstic Some reason: they eat high fat with ghee(some butter high in saturated fat) and tons of oils and it is very polluted there.
Potato 🥔🍠 is a good food
I thought in India they also eat a lot of dairy. That would cause the heart disease. I work with people in India, and I got into a conversation with a gentleman one time during a phone meeting.

Hi, it's a week into the future. He is way ahead of his time.
I doubt it, the nutritional profile of the butter is much more impressive than that of the potato
And from the looks of things McDougal could desperately use some of that butter
@@zamfirtoth6441 No because you can eat 1kg of potatoes for a meal or more but you wont eat that much butter in a meal or you will congest your body so much and be sick.

I put 2x4x36 welded wire fencing around the pools to keep critters out of my buckets. I winter I hang clear plastic over the fencing. I hang reflective foil faced insulation inside the fencing on the north side of the pools to concentrate and reflect the sun light back onto the plants.
On freezing nights I put clear plastic over the pools secured with spring clips.
Now I am going to see if I can keep them growing through the summer.
Vegan now regret never.
Best move of my life by far.
Keep the vibe , you both are amazing

Thank you Dr. McDougall for reminding this Filipino that we are a rice- and potato- and vegetable-eating people (- NOT MacDonald's-eating!!!!! )
Please do a seminar on breast cancer and diet!
I like baked potatoes with cooked pieces of bell pepper and mushrooms, where the juice is thickened with flour to make a sauce and then hoisin sauce is added.
I live on potatoes, rice and vegetables... Selfishly, I'm worried that the price of these items will go up when they get popular!! :) Wishing that this year will be healthier for everyone than the last.
Thanks Dr. Mcdougall. I am going to eat more potatoes. Can you do a program regarding protein powders and green/red powder drinks. Lots of vegan UA-camrs push these and I was wondering about your take on these products
Thanks for this presentation. Dr McDougal is a true gem. I was so happy to see the study on people in New Guinea. A physician told me not to eat sweet potatoes when I had fibroids because it would negatively affect hormones. I searched and could find no such thing in the literature....this is very helpful!
Have you been able to reduce your fibroids?
I always put salt on potatoes. Delicious!
High fructose corn syrup gives me GOUT !
Please give herbs we need. Explain the tomato as well. Copper pans ?
Thank you 😊 🙏
I buy only organic potatoes and do my very best to clean them thoroughly before cooking, it's impossible to remove every particle of soil, so my question is what happens to these microscopic & barley discernable particles within the skin when they enter the body, does the body absorb them or flush them out! Thanks!
What do you think about the new oxalate and purine scare?
I haven't had a chance to watch all of this. Do you address oxalates in potatoes? My bf has been told not to eat potatoes because he's a kidney stone former. He (unlike me) still eats some meat (mostly chicken). Any ideas on this? Thanks in advance!
I love potatoes and love to grow them but I hate the potato bugs. Is there anything you know as how to get rid of them
Thank you so much !
eating boilled potato with veggies and some tempeh while watching this.
What do you think about Dr. Eric Berg?
Making a potato right now!
I really hope a starchy plant based diet can help me to regain my health.
A high saturated fat an cholesterol LCHF diet caused me to develop angina. I'm most certain that I have plaques in my arteries now.
Turns out I have the APOE4 allele with cholesterol hyperabsorption, so LDL particles from saturated fats oxidize even more and my body sucks up cholesterol and cannot get rid of it.
I even got reprimanded by Lindsay Taylor who is an administrator on Mark Sisson's Keto Reset Facebook page for recommending that people who do not do well with saturated fats replace them with olive oil and fish.
I never liked olive oil or fish, but I loved sweet potatoes and beans.
I went on a low carbohydrate diet many years ago because a low fat diet was not able to treat my acne. New breakouts every day and left behind scarring. If only that had not been the case, I would never have gone for the low carbohydrate diet.
I bought a membership at Costco here in Toronto, ON Canada for the sole reason of buying my organic starches - only to discover that they do NOT sell organic potatoes or rice at Costco:(! I probably should have checked before I bought the membership but I have heard Dr. McDougall often say they buy their potatoes & rice there & I just assumed he & Mary would be buying organic produce. Since potatoes have recently been added to the "dirty dozen" I really feel that organic is the only way to go. Thank you for another wonderful lecture Dr. McDougall.
U can get a refund on your membership even to the 364th day, for any reason.
you mentioned Jerusalem Artichoke. Is it healthy? Can I include it in my diet?
The Lorax I am for the tree’s another great pod cast keep it up I have listen over and over
In Polish, potatoes is "ziemniaki," "ziemia" is earth. Potatoes are of earth. Potatoes and cabbage... yum yum
I bought a great steamer pot a few years ago and Ill be damned if I will boil my potatoes every time.
Dr. Mcdougall I use hydrolyzed collagen powder in my coffee. Is that a bad idea? I have a really bad back and I was told that it would help with the cartilage of my bones as I was told from my doctor that I have osteoarthritis and osteoporosis? What are your thoughts on the topic?
Here's a couple of video clips by Dr. Klaper [who is also a plant based doc] 1st; about collagen boosting foods. Our bodies make collagen; we only need about 9 amino acids from the foods we eat; our bodies make the rest of the amino acids and form them into proteins. 2nd; With bone strength, bones, like muscles, get stronger with use; if you do some weight training [even with light weights] that will stimulate your bones to become stronger. hope this helps : )

@@sharit7970 thank you for the input
@@ozzyoz5210 Welcome! Those videos are pretty short [like 5 minutes ish] so you'll get a quick answer... right from a doc : )
If you really follow the McDougall diet it can help your total healing very much. Eventually you can listen to Dr Michael Greger also , but the easiest and really basisk solution is organic whole plant Based with focus on the starch solution such as discibed so Well from dr McDougall 💚💚💚
Is taking an Amino supplement important when following and Plant Based Diet?
Easy to make hash browns using fresh potatoes. Peel and put in food processor shredder. Put into frying pan with a little water and "fry" away.
It's true to a point, but carbohydrate in the form of glucose not fructose. As Pritikin noted one negative aspect of a carb only diet of (potatoes, molasses etc) was stedily RISING triglycerides. Higher triglycerides are indeed a risk factor for heart disease (Rosenman) almost every study confirms that as trigs are blood fats. I'm sure that a high carb diet does improve insulin sensitivity but humans do require some fats as well.
There’s no such thing as a carb only diet eating real foods, potatoes are not the same as simple sugars and they contain proteins and fats. Funny too because the diet you’re decrying does quite well for heart disease. The only way you could east a carb only diet would be to only eat simple sugars.
I steam my potatoes 🌸♥️☮️‼️
I understand and believe in this but what about the blood sugar spikes
In your introduction, you say "protein is dangerous. it's always in excess. It's never too little." Then in your first slide on the potato, entitled "protein = ideal nutrition," you list what presumably are the virtues of protein, and among them you list "loads of protein and calcium." So, I'm confused by the contradiction. On the one hand, protein is dangerous, and on the other it's one of the virtues of the potato. Please clarify.
This is amazing material. God designed us to eat plant based whole foods and starch is the most nourishing. Read Genesis 1:29 and you will see.
Even better STEAM everything in a InstantPot. More nutrients and faster food.
