In more northern latitudes the most startling appearance of Autumn are pumpkins and the like - big and bright orange, not easy to miss. You can store them for a long long time. Fantastic starch and quick to cook. The sort of thing your gran would have eaten lots of, through the harsh cold winter.
Totally. The autumn offers so much in the way of healthy, colorful starches for us to savor.
I eat potatoes every day. Lost over 100 pounds, stopped secondary progressive MS, cured fibromyalgia, metabolic syndrome, and Crohn's, and I eat more Jumbo Idaho's than sweet potatoes. I thought macronutrients weren't something we were to be obsessing about? I mean, where do we get our protein? 🙄🤪🤣
I am glad for you Carma good job.
Good for you but sugar/starch makes me fat AF.
@@gmnotyet troll no.
@@Julottt You really think you understand my body more than I do? Are you really that arrogant?
@@gmnotyet This is the fat you eat from your long term diet on the side that make you gain fat, you certainly dont eat a low fat diet (
Potatoes are cheap, low calorie, satisfying, and tasty AF!! The ultimate food a keto dieter craves the most!
Oh if you end up with diabetes you'll soon appreciate avocado instead of potatoes, as they push my blood sugar way too high. Basically is raises insulin dramatically and you have a choice, a potato for dinner and then the complications of damaging your health. And I used to eat a kilo of them a day as a minimum.
Now, cannot touch them, so it's cauliflower & broccoli for me instead, which just don't compare!
For some of us, spuds are off the menu, and edging towards ketosis/low carb is a way to preserve our health, not a petty lifestyle choice by a hipster who saw an influencer jabbering on about it. I typically eat less than 20 carbs a day, but yesterday & today I'm over that, to a whopping 47 carbs, which is hardly anything for people on a normal diet, but for the diabetic & a blood glucose meter is a definite problem.
You cant eat potatoes on keto
@@bearpio92 of course not
@@lumpy3408 I think you are very misinformed about healthy dieting and potatoes in general
@@nickmeale1957 Maybe you don't know anything about the Krebs Cycle, but if you ever turn diabetic, you better learn, or you'll be getting non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cripplingly high blood sugars, perepheral neuopathy, and damaged eyesight if you eat a kilo a day as I did, everyday.
One of us has already learned the hard way, because I've had to study this myself to reverse all those injuries I sustained!
Eat more broccoli & cauliflower, and you'll live longer.
Dr Fuhrman talks about the optimal effects of food. That's what I want to know. Then I can modify my choices according to my personal situation/preferences. I'm glad to hear the panel in general taking an informed stance on the potato.
Agreed! I'm all for optimizing phytonutrients/antioxidants/fiber, etc.! Nutritarian ftw! I got to meet him in person at this very conference last year (right before the pandemic lockdowns in Jan 2020), as a future doc, he's one of my role models! (As are the other docs on this panel, and other WFPB docs!) Here's the video of that presentation: ua-cam.com/video/h3Y8VjiTto8/v-deo.html
@@bryant475 Thanks!
Agreed
So I guess it depends. And this is actually the answer for most things.
If Dr Mcdougal was included in the conversation he would refute some of the claims regarding potato’s
and point out inconsistencies
Well the person who you should listen to is the person (i.e YOU, just after you've done a blood glucose test and see if they spike your insulin dramatically or not. They spiked mine so badly my insulin went off the charts. I had to eliminate them from my diet, along with rice & beans and everything else that raised blood sugar.
Simply test yourself at home, get the answer how your own body reacts, then you'll know if they're ok for you to eat. I miss them a lot, and see them on people's purchases in supermarkets and I wish I could eat one!! I miss them, rice, fruit & bread the most.
@@lumpy3408 You're eating nothing but pork rinds and ice cream and other 'healthy' foods now I guess? Who is your physician, Dr Oetker? I don't rely on voodoo testing to determine my health, thank you
@@billjoe39 Vodoo testing? You really are clueless!
Next time you see your doctor, ask him where he keeps all his 'Vodoo' diagnostic equipment, you know the type of thing that examines blood pressure, O2 levels, but I have no idea why I'm bothering if you are really this clueless. Just go back to your bong. Ask to see a 'voodoo blood glucose meter. Yep, definitely, something created by magicians in a cave somewhere.
I guess you have a memory retention issue? I'm a whole food person who's already told you what I eat, and apparently your that clueless that you cannot remember that far back. No, I don't eat your suggested dietary recommendations. I haven't touched ice cream for longer than you've been alive actually.
I actually rescue animals and I've given an animal ambulance to the local RSPCA at my expense rather than eat them. I've 5 rescued cats, which has reduced to 3 after someone deliberately ran one over. So I'm actually doing something to help strays, rather than make helpful, informative posts about a diet of 'ice cream & pork chops'.
Try B!2 supplementations if your memory is that defective. No 'Voodoo' doctors are involved in B12 production. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when you visit a doctor.
@@lumpy3408 blah blah blah, lumpy, fitting name
Young people today live on french fries and potato chips.
Obesity is growing among younger people every year.
Its the oil that’s fattening not the potato:)
@@brontothecat1992 So true.
@@brontothecat1992 It's both. The carbohydrate affects insulin levels and drives the calories into fat storage. That's insulins purpose and how the 'Kebs Cycle' actually works.
Most of the oils are putrid at the point of consumption & if you want to avoid blocked arteries it's a good idea to stay well away from oils in general.
Eat boiled or baked plain potatoes if you like them. Don’t need these doctors opinions at all.
Pam Popper always has so much common sense about so many things.
I enjoy potaoes in the fall and winter along with soups ... sometimes I eat them as a snack because they satisfy but yes mostly as a side with a salad. For my granddaughter I hide cauliflower in her mashed potatoes and she also loves baked sweet potatoes fries. ☮❤🙋♀️🌱
Creative cooking!
Love Dr. Fuhrman. I don't hear the cook and cool approach to enhance the prebiotic resistance starche of the potatoes. I eat them twice a day! Never felt better and running ultra distance because of it. Eat protein for tryptophan wait 3 or 4 hours then eat cooked and cooled starches for medicinal serotonin results and Angelic Sleep.
Agreed, resistant starches are pretty efficient in beans as well, especially black beans! And yes, the Tryptophan -> 5HTP -> Serotonin -> Melatonin pathway is pretty amazing! L-Theanine is another sleep hack that targets Glutamate receptors, stimulating GABA and Glycine release, triggering Dopamine and Serotonin release! Also, I'm a big fan of Dr. Fuhrman as well, I'm all for optimizing phytonutrients/antioxidants/fiber, etc.! Nutritarian ftw! I got to meet him in person at this very conference last year (right before the pandemic lockdowns in Jan 2020), as a future doc, he's one of my role models! (As are the other docs on this panel, and the other WFPB docs!) Here's the video of that presentation I saw in person: ua-cam.com/video/h3Y8VjiTto8/v-deo.html
Yes to resistant starch. Cooled rice. Especially good, cold potato pancakes with sour cream.
I hear after cooking put in fridge and then you can take out and warm them up to lower sugar content
I think as implied... It's not the potato by itself... it's how you prepare it and what you eat with it.. not saying I haven't done it before but if you're going to sit down and you're going to eat a raw potato without cooking it it's not as bad as you think health-wise.. now if you fry it in a ton of oil .. or put it in the oven and add bacon and cheese sour cream all kinds of regular stuff people do add... well...here's where the problems "can begin" ... Personally I just take plain side salad and then take a bag of frozen mixed vegetables put it over a russet baked potato and add a cheese sauce I've made with more potatoes, carrots,spices, water and cashews.. And so far it's helped me lose 15 lb
I take a small boiled gold or red potato (with skin) and dip it into hummus for a pm treat!!
Eat boliled, baked or air fried non GMO small colorful regular and sweet potatoes not too much with lots of beans and vegetables. Got it. Thank you.
You get a variety of perspectives in the WFPB community. McDougall's approach is to not raise the bar too high, whereas alot of folks seem very focused on high nutrient density per calorie, even though for some people on a completely vegetarian diet, caloric density might be an issue as well.
I have been cooking potatoes just because they are so simple to prepare, especially with an air fryer. It's one of the few things you can buy at a supermarket that most people know about, that's a commonly eaten whole food. Rice in the US is often tainted with arsenic and finnicky to prepare, and I find alot of wheat to require sprouting to be easy to digest. And I need a certain amount of starch in my diet to keep my metabolism humming along, I can't just stuff myself on vegetables.
funny enoug starch/sugars is the only thing that is NOT required by the body... proteins and fats ARE required.
awesome panel.
BTW, in another "Truth About" presentation, Brian Clement PhD suggests that making potato water, letting the starch settle out, and drinking the high potassium liquid has curative value. And that the starch component causes problems.
The starch component is what makes feel full longer though.
@@only_6486 If I remember correctly, Clement would have preferred the ingestion of sweet potatoes and winter squashes.
Chilled...the resistant starch reduces the GI...
"what'd he say?" Lol
I batteries not included. I slice a potato 1/2 " thick and tape to arch of foot over white sock skin on facing out white touches sock. Perfect arch support and a little extra qui. Teeth feel and taste cleaner. Organic only don't want to absorb glyphosate.
I eat a lot of potatoes (fat free) but I feel quite lethargic so I'm considering finding an alternative.
I know your post is very old but I saw a Dr talk about this. In a study they added some oil to help with energy.
I am even more confused now. Are potatoes good or bad for you?
Fuhrman has a bad habit of mind warping his audience. Yes, they are great!!
It's not black and white. As Dr. Fuhrman points out, white potatoes are not the best choice, however, as Pam points out, it's a good starting point and a big step up for some people on a Standard American Diet. In time, they may develop a taste for the more nutrient dense sweet potato or purple flesh potato. This is pretty much how I've approached plant based eating... gradually shifting to more and more healthy choices. On the other hand, as Dr. Fuhrman has stated many times, some people are so sick, they don't have that luxury and need to make drastic changes asap. A morbidly obese diabetic would probably not do well eating white potatoes.
@@sectionalsofa I was a morbidly obese prediabetic who rectified my glucose numbers by eating a whole food plant based diet primarily consisting of beans and russet potatoes starting four years ago. But yes, I also lately have incorporated other less starchy potatoes.
@@tyronejefforeillyramirez7961 Glad to know you're doing well.
@@sectionalsofa thx. Plant based diet saved my life literally. When I got COVID last year, I was free from the two main predisposed factors that cause death thanks to the elimination of disease causing farm raised meats. I know without a shadow of a doubt, I would not have survived.
Interestingly, the only time in the last few years that I've felt like I ate potatoes and didn't react to them was at the True North Health clinic. So, there, Dr. Goldhamer. You seem to be right about tolerance with them. Although, I will say, i could not eat food again or even continue drinking water after my 30 day fast without adding sea salt. I understand no oil and no sugar. I don't understand no salt.
You may have enough sodium in your diet. You need it for electrolytes though, and not all salts are equal, as you need the magnesium in your diet. It's complicated, which is why everyone suggests reducing salt intake, especially if you have high blood pressure. It's a way of safeguarding doctors from legal issues by giving misleading advice, so they do it in the same way as the way the industry convinced us all to eat low fat. Everyone needs sodium, but people are sensitive, and some hypersensitive, and have varying blood pressures.
So the easiest way is to say low salt, and if you ever hit the point where you are too low you'll find out why you shouldn't get too low which I experienced after a week in Singapore before I went to Malaysia. Let's say you'll need a direct line of sight view of a toilet nearby. I realized and went straight to a local restaurant nearby and ate a small handful of wet salt to correct the issue. It's a well-known reaso9n why soldiers are issued salt tablets if they go anywhere where you'll find increased sodium loss.
Get a salt that goes wet if left out, proving the magnesium is still available, and use that one. I get mine from a French company on Ebay, as you never find non-processed stuff in English supermarkets.
You went to the right place if you were fasting. That's the place I'd trust by qualified medical professionals.
@@lumpy3408 I have a family history of high blood pressure but I always managed to dodge the problem, maybe because I ate a wider variety of foods, avoided stress, and was more physically active.
The low salt thing did nothing good for me when I tried it. I spent all day going to the bathroom and my exercise tolerance went down alot. I don't eat alot of salt because I don't eat processed foods, but I do put a little salt or soy sauce in foods I eat.
@@Magnulus76 Oh all salts are not equal, and we all need sodium, unless you already have high blood pressure.
You don't want to experience what happens what will happen to you if you exhaust your sodium by being in a high humidity environment, as I was reminded by an incident waiting to go up a mountain train in Penang, to see a white tiger.
After a week in Singapore, a white t-shirt was stained nearly yellow with sweat, and then at the cue, at mid-day I found out what will happen. I just made it to the toilet in time or I would have exploded in public! It was only then I realised what was responsible (uncle served in Malasia) and they were issued salt tablets as default kit for the British Soldier.
I swallowed a small handful of salt, with a meal and was fixed before I left the meal table. But you do need to consume a salt that hasn't had all the magnesium removed.
White fluffy salt is useless. You need grey salt, that gets damp in the open air, proving ir isn't processed. I also found out that is also improves insulin regulation in the last year, which is why I now consume it sparingly to help with type 2 diabetes. When I drink water, I drop a tiny amount into water and that is what hydrates you, not the water itself. dDrink to much, you'll pee out all your sodium making you feel the way you suggested.
I have to ditch my coffee consumption as it's the only 'bad' food I have left, as it will lower blood pressure and have other features, such as an effect on triglycerides.
Now I drink water with a tiny amount of salt, and apple cider vinegar in, purely for insulin regulation & I eat about half a packet of Nori seaweed sheets for the iodine & salt
I chuck a couple smaller potatoes into the blender with my tomatoes and spinach and whatever else I am putting in my spaghetti sauces. Lots of amino acids in potatoes.
Potatoes are so satiating.
A guy named Chris Voigt ate nothing but potatoes for 60 days, 20 potatoes per day, and his overall health improved as compared to before he did the potato diet. He lost 21
lbs., his cholesterol went down by 67 points, his blood sugar readings improved as well as improvements in overall blood chemistry. So tell me again why potatoes are bad.
Russets!Yes! Listen to Dr. Mac!
Interesting…the first person who’s pro potatoes/starch is overweight, while the other three people who are for limited potatoes/starch are much thinner.
No everyone wants weight loss.. people also struggle with the opposite. More beans and less potatoes means staying full longer and so I less chance to eat more later for someone who needs calories as very active.
Could you gentlemen please make a video on disproving the carnivore diet. Yes, for Type 2 diabetics like me it keeps blood sugars down, but after having tried that, it made me foggy in the brain, sluggish and totally sugar depleted. Then I had a slice of organic 21 grain bread and my energy just popped right up. Thank you !!
if you are a sugar-burner then you will feel foggy until fully fat-burner mode is active... takes a couple of days... meat/fat (grassfed good quality) and leafy/above ground greens = winner winner over starches and seed oils
After eating the bread your blood sugar would have rocketed. Have you tested your blood sugars recently? You shouldn't be touching bread if you are a type 2 diabetic.
Anything over 130 mg/dl and you are damaging your blood vessels. Guarantee the bread put it way over that! (I'm type 2 as well, so I speak from experience).
I do not think the carnivore diet is good, but I have not looked into it thoroughly. But I know that if your body is used to sugars, you will feel like that when you stop eating it, regardles of the diet. Usually it might not be that big of a deal eating bread, but because you are diabetic, it is not a good idea to have it on your diet.
So I would never recommend the carnivore diet, but you indeed have to significantly lower your sugar and carb intake. And you will feel foggy at first and with low energy and even have a lot of cravings, until your body adjusts on taking energy from other sources. It is not something everyone has to do, but you do have to do because you are diabetic.
I super agree but my question is are potatoes bad for people that are physically fit and exercise 1 to 2 hours a day because that's who I am and to me potatoes are very healthy and I'm not talking about what these doctors talking about because he's doctors talking about that obese people
Today's "gigantic Russets are genetically modified" and not nutrient dense. 👍
Milton: "We've even bred our food to be obese." 😂
Pam: Russet better than cheese pizza.
I'm confused because Russets are higher in protein than some other varieties of potatoes.
I like general all-purpose potatoes, the little golden brown ones, I'm not picky and they make good steak fries in an air fryer.
@@Magnulus76 In the panel segment, they aren't bringing up protein. They are talking about nutrient density, cancer preventative components and daily caloric intake. Even though Russets are not GMO in the Monsanto meaning, they HAVE BEEN genetically created and, in that sense, are not as desirable as the small natural potatoes.
I've been eating them the whole time I lost 40 pounds.
Did you hear the one about the obese Dr. who will send the black van to get you if you eat a russet potato? ;-)
Did he call a big Russet *"obese"?* That's witty. 😀
Lmfao he called Peruvians primitive.
Potatoes are starch, but better than trash food. But still I wouldn't recommend a food that cannot reproduce itself.
Potatoes have eyes, that's how they reproduce themselves. They are a vine.
@@Magnulus76 cruciferous don't reproduce

Wikipedia
I hate russets, but all I know is what my taste buds like and dislike. They like red and gold, none russet types. Boild. I do not like sweet potatoes. My wife is from the Philippines and out side of the mountain areas potatoes are hard to grow in the heat. So she like sweet potatoes and I do not. So what I am getting at? I have no idea other than I don't like the taste of sweet potatoes.
But potatoes taste 100x better than beans. I honestly can't stand beans.
just air fry them lol
Potatoes are the best, red, white, purple, whatever. Longevity studies universally correlate to low protein low fat high carbohydrate diet. Big salad big vegetables, doesn’t matter because we do better with the low end of nutrient needs not high amounts of nutrients. The idea of more nutrients is better is simply wrong. If one understands the lessons learned from “The Rice Diet”, Dr Kempener, then you start to understand why potatoes are so good. Things like beans are actually a very rich food and should be kept at lower amounts whereas potatoes should be a staple.
So how do you explain diabetes? My case entirely proves your theory doesn't work for everyone, and Insulin regulation is the answer.
Unless you a diabetic, in which case if you don't respond as I didn't when eating the "Starch Solution" you'd end up with dangerous blood sugar levels. It works for some, not for others and that's not for the lack of trying. I persisted until I had the symptoms of non-alcoholic liver disease and was stopping in the street vomiting. When I got into a doctor's office telling them I felt so unwell I was going to die, it turned out my blood sugar levels were 101 mmol/L. That is catastrophic levels of blood glucose, and I ate rice & potatoes, no oil and no processed food. Again 101 mmol/L and not 101mg/dl. There's a huge difference and one is life-threatening.
I basically had to delete potatoes from my diet, along with anything else that raises blood sugar levels. It's entirely down to how your insulin is performing whether you can eat withstand the glucose spike that a potato will deliver. So please don't tell everyone that they should eat potatoes regardless of medical data.
I'm neither Carnivore, Keto or Atkins any other popular variant. My diet is low inflammatory, low glycemic, high nutrition and results in lower calories (1500/1600) and doesn't raise blood sugar, which drives a multitude of problems resulting in cancer & a myriad of other problems. If you were a cancer patient you would have to be insane to feed cancer by eating carbohydrates. Sugars directly feed cancer cells, so be careful what you are advising people because it's something that Brian clement would have a great deal to say on, and will do on this channel.
Have a look at the advice of the Hippocrates Organisation and the treatment of cancer. Potatoes will not feature in their diet plan for good reason.
If they raise your blood sugar dramatically you shouldn't them, or anything else that does unless you deliberately want to move towards blindness, bodily amputations, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
I read Dr. Cauldwell Esselsyn's book which I adapted to lower my blood sugar, so I mostly eat tofu, Broccoli, Cauliflower & avocado and I've reduced my A1C to the low 5's from the life-threatening blood glucose levels I had. Meat, Dorito's or cupcakes were not responsible as I didn't eat them. The panel would love my previous diet, but my own physiology didn't so I've had to through necessity change my diet & I pass my data to the Essex Cardiology Rehabilitation Team. My doctors couldn't believe my recovery. The person who conducted my diabetic eye screening also copied my diet for him and his wife, who was also struggling with a balanced diet, that for some reason didn't work. He saw himself through examining my retinas in the capacity he was in personally that I reversed all my eye damage in under a year. A year later I have zero eye damage as a result of diabetes.
That is specifically because I reduced my carbohydrates.
All foods affect insulin & physiology, but it's a case if you don't respond to any diet then the first thing you should look at is your blood sugar levels & that is how you should address your diet. Had I blindly followed the advice in books and through anyone on the internet I would not have reversed neuropathy, eye damage, liver damage, my insulin regulation and I'd probably be blind and dead of a fatal heart attack.
As it is I suffered two heart incidents and walked 9 miles to get hospital treatment and an angiogram proved I did no damage to my heart. They were astonished and I told them I put that down to the advice in Dr. Cauldwell Esselstynes's book, which they did not know existed.
The motto is, eat much more broccoli & cauliflower and reduce oils to zero. Pump more gases into the bloodstream to vacilitate arteries, removing arterial plaque. Do that will do more good for you than suggesting any type of potato. Because I did that, pushed myself into type 2 diabetes and was on a direct route to a 6ft hole and a wooden box.
@@lumpy3408 so first, Hippocrates are well meaning, but their philosophies have not been proven in any scientific way. We do better with less but sufficient nutrients not boosted nutrition. Protein is the biggest driver for cancer so anything that boosts that will boost cancer. With respect to type 2 diabetes, you need to do two things. Lose weight and lower fat and protein. Your diet of fat and protein has made you insulin resistant. You pancreas may also be damaged by your bad history so you may have insulin insufficiency. Your best option is caloric restrict and eat the healthy low protein low fat high starchy carbohydrate diet with lots of vegetables. Try to make sure not to eat as much at the end of day but make sure you eat lot of high fiber vegetables. If you have succeeded in losing weight down to normal or lean or can not go lower due to your personality issues, then you are a good candidate for drugs. You trashed your body and now it takes intense measures to get your health better.
@@lumpy3408 also, make sure you boost your exercise regimen. Brisk walks after meals would be helpful for you.
@@theartificialsociety3373 Oh I do! 10k steps or 6 miles. Whichever is easiest with out a pedometre.
@@theartificialsociety3373 Cancer is complicated and I know what you mean in regards to The Hippocrates Institute. They try, harder than most.
MY diet previously didn't include fatty food. It was almost entirely potatoes and rice, with green vegetables. Denovolipogenesis converts carbs to fat through an established number in the liver. That's the issue and who knows what caused it to trip over into diabetes. Wasn't me chowing on fat or crappy food. It might be genetic and I have high triglicerides so I'm going to all the data and statistical data be killed by a heart attack, regardless of what I eat.
I have trashed my body through adrenalin though and physical strain, but loss of sleep due to a personal matter didn't help and physical pain for a few years also didn't help.
So not fat, though we all have internal fat so I will be happy stripping fat away from my current 184 pounds. I look a completely different physical specimen from other men my age.
But I'm sure the stress, physical demands and other factors have certainly damaged my body, and I have some scars to prove it.
The funny part is if I told you what I did you'd know I don't need advice on how to exercise, but I'm always open to anyone who's a degree in medicine or studies up at the University doing high impact studies on the effect of insulin resistance and weight loss. I've been quite brutal to my body since the age of 20.
You won't lose weight by general exercise, but it's great for muscle mass, bone strength, and insulin resistance as a result. I'm really solid and you cannot push in my stomach with two fingers, so I'm the opposite to the normal 53-year-old man you'll meet, which I have to be.
I get your concept though in general. And now it's time to drink my 3rd coffee of the day, then do another 6 miles today.
I already calory restrict, exercise, have a 4 hour eating window & only eat whole foods that don't spike insulin. That's how the weight decreases and insulin sensitivity improves.
When my cat was run over recently I was so pissed off I walked 25 miles without a break to not see my other cats wondering where their sister had gone.
Anyway, Spuds would kick that right in the balls, to speak, which I miss and tell everyone in front of me while I'm drooling at their spuds on the till conveyer belt.
Sugar improves insulin sensitivity.Potatoes are the best food for better insulin performance.
As a diabetic, I can tell you from experience you are wrong. I simply cannot tolerate the effect they have on my blood sugar, and that's steemed, in a pressure cooker, not fried or covered in oil. If I followed your advice I'd be in an emergency room at the hospital.
There are lots of things that affect insulin sensitivity, and just repeating a talking point that you've heard someone say is medically dangerous, when for people who are undiagnosed as type 2 diabetics, that type of advice could push them into full-blown diabetes and directly damage their health.
Wreckless unqualified advice isn't helpful, it's outright dangerous to some.
@@lumpy3408 I deal with diabetic patients max.They eat only potato and rice and few veggies...every one felt the down sizing the sugar number from 1st meal.to a month or two...Noone has ever been hospitalised.People those used to hospitalised earlier,stopped after taking high starch diet.But no oil,dairy,nuts and nonveg at all.You dont know the science and you fear a lot thats why.But sugar improves insulin its a science,had been discovered in before 1940.Listen to Dr.Mcdougall carefully,he is doing this since last 40+ years,he treated more than 12000 patients.
@@anupamkhemariya9128 I've spoken to him personally! For patients who are insulin sensitive to dietary carbohydrates a vegan, starch-based diet is not going to help, and I'm one of them! I only need to measure my blood sugar to prove I cannot tolerate starch and I've just tested a dressing with hidden sugar and it pushed my blood sugar to over 140 mg/dl from where it should have been approx 100 mg/dl.
It doesn't work for everyone if they are damaged as I am, and I have his books on the shelves downstairs, and I read them. It works if your insulin responds. If it doesn't, you cannot continue doing the same thing, or like me you'll be admitted to hospital, with a cardiac event.
So there is all the evidence you need, a whole-food, plant-based eater, who ate no oils, drank no alcohol, doesn't smoke, no comorbidities, who consumed zero processed foods had to change his approach because he became diabetic despite eating McDougals diet! I have had to change, because of the medical data and my insulin is triggered heavily by dietary carbohydrates, so I have to eat higher fat (avocado) and keep a close eye on my blood glucose.
My triglycerides went off the chart, and there's only one way to stop that. Stop eating the carbohydrate which the liver converts to fat, if your insulin levels are high. That's simple chemistry & how the Krebs cycle, insulin and how the liver converts sugars to fat in the human body. If you are not metabolically damaged, and your insulin lowers then the diet will work. IF it doesn't and the insulin increases unless you want to be type 1 diabetic, blind, amputated parts, sores on your legs and be dead, you better change your approach, or you'll be dead from non-alcoholic liver disease.
So please don't tell me it works for everyone, because I've just told you my case, where it didn't, and I had to change the way I ate as a result.
If I blindly followed the advice, without applying the results of the tests I would be dead as a result. I'm alive because I read the data, and dropped my carbohydrates to reduce insulin, clear out the liver and stay away from processed foods, alcohol and all the other stuff that's no good for you. My A1C on a whole food plant-based diet went to over Haemoglobin A1c Level (IFCC Standard/XaPbt) 101 mmol/L, which is off the charts, about to explode levels!! The charts don't go that high! And that test was done in a hospital lab, not on a domestic unit. That's 101 mmol/L (not 101/mg/dl.) That's catastrophic, dangerous, life-threatening, and requires immediate medical treatment.
A simple way to tell is just to use a blood glucose meter, and you don't need to read another book from selling programs at $700 dollars for a weekend set of lectures.
So again, proof that it doesn't work for everyone, and I'm one who it didn't work for, with the obvious negative numbers, that I've corrected and got my A1C to typically A1C5.2, by avoiding potatoes & starches, and observing the insulin levels fall accordingly.
@@lumpy3408 A1c 101mmol/L or 101mmol/mol??
Normal range is 48 mmol/mol,ur number is double only...up to 90mmol/mol no need to take medicine even..Ur number was 101...I start potato and rice as the 80% diet with the diabetic A1c number 120+mmol/mol or more....and within few days 90% people drop their numbers significantly..rest 10% people will take more time only.
My advice you must go the Dr.Mcdougal center once.They will help u to understand the science better and ur fear of sugar number will disappear soon.The keto diet you r following is really dangerous in long run for sure.Rest is ur wish
@@anupamkhemariya9128 Read my post again. I already told you 101 mmol/L, not 101 mg/dl.
I do not need to travel to the USA, to California when I followed their dietary advice. Read the literature. It suits some, not others. You cannot pick if it will work for you, and when it doesn't you'll not lose weight, but put it on, because your impaired insulin isn't low enough to release fat stores.
That's a clue that you are already insulin resistant and have diabetes. Eating piles of carbs ignoring you are insulin resistant will only have the effect of raising blood sugar, and I've never met a diabetic who had a reading of 101 mmol/L. Most charts only go upto the following: 13.5 A1C 403mg/dl 22.4 mmol/L and mine was double those figures. Even the doctor was amazed. I kept the A4 sheet with the results and it reads 101 mmol/L.
So simple choice for me, low carb diet, no preservatives, no processed food, no sugars of any kind and use the blood glucose meter to see the results! Going to Mr McDougal isn't going to change my insulin response, so I simply have to keep my carb intake very low.
Potatoes are not healthy for you 😂😂😂 unless it’s a sweet potato no starch food is good for anybody it causes inflammation which then leads to a dis-ease
IDJUT! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Purple potato's suck!
I would dearly love to go back to eat potatoes. Sadly, after an injury going type 2 diabetic, I cannot go anywhere near a potato, as it pushes my blood sugar through the roof. It's the food I miss the most.
And I'm not overweight in that I'm 6ft, athletic and 185 pounds. I've basically had to go low carb to control blood sugar, with an OMAD/ Intermittent fasting approach, and starches/spuds/lentils and pulses I do miss! I'd love a potato soup, but my blood sugars simply won't stand for that amount of carbohydrate.
The funny part is while grocery shopping I do see what people are putting on the conveyer belt and I'm thinking all the time, "Cannot eat that, miss that. That's awful, why are they buying this crap"...then I spot potatoes, and at that point, I'm just jealous!!).
yours is a minority condition then, isn't it........alot of 'testimonials' online nowadays about the absolute 'dangers' of ANY carb -and, by extension, the 'health' and joy of butter, steak, cheese, ice cream and pork chops
@@billjoe39 Really? I'm a diabetic and if you read the above you'll see I was a whole food Vegan. Insulin resistance doesn't discriminate & doesn't care either way about anything. It's just physiology.
I mostly eat Avocado, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, kale, spinach, courgettes, and green peppers, berries & nuts. Gave up corn, peas, potatoes, fruit, tomatoes but I miss a humble sandwich, the occasional pizza and easily the most missed are rice & potatoes.
The cheap shot didn't go well did it, moaning to a Vegan about eating butter. It's why I don't call myself a Vegan so people don't think i'm sneering down my nose at people.
@Nathan Erickson See my posts below. Didn't work for me. Just made my insulin resistance go completely out of control. And I'm aware of Walter Kempner & the study. I'd love to be munching rice & spuds, but for me, it appears my metabolism has been too damaged. Technically I now sit at prediabetic levels, though as the weeks go by I'm improving it very gradually.
It's reversible, but you have to get on top of it. For instance, my blood sugar was approx 100 earlier and I ate something that shouldn't have raised blood sugar. However I sprinkled some new seasoning on top of the tofu & I got a shock when my blood sugar went to over 143 mg/dl, and it hasn't come down for 5 hours! That's impaired and so you have to avoid doing it if want to avoid a heart attack if you have the lovely side complication of high blood pressure.
Sadly it's not as uncomplicated as many seem to think it is, which is really misleading the public.
@@billjoe39 You might like to do some cursory research on how many diabetics and pre-diabetics there are in the US for example. With Obesity at approximately 70% they are heading for diabetes, have it and don't know it, or have been diagnosed. Either way, the medical costs are enormous.
I remember one of the panelists (Furhman) estimating that 80% of the public are prediabetic, diabetic type 2, and type 1. They now regard Alzheimers disease as another type, so you might like to listen to a few lectures by Prof. Roberts Lustig, an endocrinologist, who'll explain how the 'Kreps Cycle' actually works. That way you then know some actual facts.
You just stick to your ice cream & biscuit diet and you'll soon be in front of a doctor and you can then ask if you a minority or not. He'll explain the facts to you.
@@lumpy3408 robert lustig, that quack you recommend here? I bet pfizer sends him plenty of free plane tickets......no testimonials, please
Pam. The only human being among the panel. God bless her.
Avoid potatoes. You don’t need them because the starch breaks into glucose.
As a type 2 diabetic, I have to agree. People without a metabolic issue can handle them, but for those of us that are impaired in the glucose transport department, we have to just stay clear of them. I do miss spuds though, but I'd rather keep my eyesight & feet.
Glucose keeps us alive.
Wow, one of the most pointless conversations I've seen in a while.

Leave it up to these people, potatoes are great for everyone.
Potatoes are soo clean. There aren’t any allergies associated with it
