That lecture on fat was immensely useful. 2-3% fat in my diet frees up those extra calories for carbs. That means MORE ENERGY for skipping through life like the smoothest rock on a lake of glass. GOLD 👊🏼
Dr McDougall thank you so much for giving us all the valuable information. Cannot thank you enough. You make such a huge difference in our lives. Following your guidelines I am able to bring my A1C to 6 without medication and I have lost 20 lbs of my weight . You are such an inspiration. We love you and have so much regard for you.
The notion that supplements don't work is a "hard pill to swallow." There are many peer reviewed studies showing positive affects as well, but I think this approach has merit.
Very true. The entire industry is besieged by lies, and even well-meaning, often correct, Dr.s are making basic mistakes. The reason some supplements are bad is because the FDA does not provide adequate enforcement of its regulations, and has continually ignored calls to ban common substances, or force manufacturers to better vet their suppliers, who often use illegal substances, like lead in turmeric, or fillers in herbal supplements.
thank you so much DR MCDOUGALL for ALL the HARD WORK you have done to help our health and the Earth 🌍 I sure appreciate you DR MCDOUGALL AND MARY MCDOUGAL
I’m going to lose about three or four pounds, Dr. McDougall, because I’m standing on YOUR shoulders. Believe me, though, I am NOT worried about wearing you out. We’ve all fallen in love with your wife, as well. She’s lovely. We see clearly why you took her before even seeing her face. You’re the man, John. I appreciate how well-defined is your protocol. It’s only been after listening to YOUR advice that I finally feel like 100% adherence does NOT chain me down - it sets me free. You’re the tops, Doc. Thank you for doing the heavy lifting. The rest of us, well, we’ll try to keep up 👊🏼
Thank you for continuously sharing information and doing all that you do! What an impact you have had on the health of my life. Appreciate all that you do. Thank you!
ChefAJ and Dr.McDougall and Mary, thank you so much for all that you do and the invaluable information you share with us. It is so appreciated! Dr. McDougall I can never get enough of your insight and wisdom. When I can afford to take your program I will. 💗💗💗
What I love about Dr mc D is that his advice is so simple! Science is at the core of his philosophy, but once you know the “rules”, you lose the food fetishism and health concerns and just get on with your life. You become empowered and emancipated. How Nature , or if you believe in the big G ,intended.
Love Dr. McDougall, and I hate to say this, but this is way too long. If all of the chit chat were filtered out it would probably be half as long. There are a lot of people who won't watch this because of the length and pacing.
Fresh jackfruit has a delicious flavor if you get it raw off the tree. We had a tree like that in the islands. It would ripen and we would eat it. It has a rich banana like texture and flavor. But in the cans you would think it has no taste or flavor because it's picked before it's ripened for commercial reason.
Hello. I have been a "McDougall" follower for over 2 years now, lost weight, feel great at 71;...still on a bit of B P medication but hoping to get off those in near future. I do have a question with regards to Vitamin D supplementation: I have had 2 melanomas (successfully removed and melanoma free for 10 years ) but was told to STAY OUT OF THE SUN....How do I get my Vit D without taking a pill? I would greatly appreciate Dr McDougall responding to my question. Thank you so much for all you have done so far! Michele
Exactly. They get it in imported cans and think it has no flavor. But wow, if they get a fresh one right off the tree. They would never want it off a can ever.
I know limes were used on battle ships which could be stocked up during non battle periods. The big breakthrough in treating vitamin C deficiency was Captain James Cook who was sent on a mission by the Royal Society to discover the great southern continent which was supposed to balance the northern hemisphere land masses. He was also tasked with observing an eclipse from Tahiti. What he "discovered" was the east coast of Australia and the whole of New Zealand. Of course Indigenous people of Australia had been living in Australia/Gondwanaland for at least 63,000 years, by latest count. Likewise Pacific Islanders had occupied islands throughout the Pacific including New Zealand (there is not the same settled anthropological evidence about New Zealand as there is about Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders). But Captain Cooks solution to vitamin C and scurvy was sauerkraut. He was the first not to lose crew on long voyages by giving all crew a daily dose of sauerkraut which was packed onboard in wooden barrels and lasted until they sailed back up the English Channel to return to Portsmouth. So sauerkraut was actually the greatest Vitamin C revolution for scurvy on long voyages :)
I will say I started taking supplements of varying sorts and. When I even though the B12 and later the B1 did make me feel some better at the time, I don't feel like they are helping in the long term. And, the other ones I took ... yeah, no. I feel so much worse after taking some for a couple of days. I am seriously thinking about taking all of them and putting them in our compost pile where they can maybe break down and do some good. This is my fourth try with following advice on taking vitamins and such. I have not found them helpful except for a quick fix of a real serious imbalance, which probably could have been fixed by me just eating better, anyway.
Been following your advice for years now. Thank you and your family for all the great information. I pass your name on regularly. The one that slipped by me was that I need a chicken for the counter! Ha ha ha ha..Thanks again ALL.

What about iron for endurance athletes doing long hours and sweating it out and depleting their stores? There's only so much spinach they can eat. Would supplements work in that circumstance?
Very likely, although men have to be careful with iron supplementation, as there are many bad forms, men accumulate it, and its cancer promoting in high amounts. There are many instances where supplements not only work, but save the individual's life, for example from a critical B-vitamin deficiency. N-Acetyl Cysteine saves lives in hospitals, as well as activated charcoal, Iodine supplementation, and magnesium, which can bring various organs and imbalances into homeostasis.
Ive felt like this for a long time that it makes sense to me that I should be able to get what is needed from plants. But advertising works so hard to make people afraid. Ive gone back and forth mostly not supplementing but ocassionaly doing it when i felt worried. Now I have just B12 which has a high dose so since you only recommend 5mcg a day maybe a bigger dose 1 time a week is good enough? I have Vit D as Inhave been low in it but also keep in mind I need some more time in the sun so I try to do early mornjng without sunscreen for better absorption. Havent had any blood trst recently but dont really want to go to the doctor just for that.
@Jeff C I think Mary already answered that one years ago, and in so many words said, "well, they're just dried vegetable powder, so I don't think that counts as a vitamin pill."
I do so want to watch ypur interviews but seriously, who has two hours plus, or even one hour plus? I really think these could be condensed. I really hope they can be condensed otherwise I'm just going to have to skip them completely. I hope my feedback it helpfull.
I find watching a few minutes when I can, then watch some more when I have time , works well for me. These are great talks, just break it up into time segments that work for you.
What about people like me who can’t tolerate gluten ? is it because of glyphosate? I have figured out how to eat McDougall without gluten containing grains, but I really miss them.
If you have genuine gluten allergy or sensitivity, you're one of those outliers I'm afraid. Don't know if you've been tested, but as we know, there are a number of other options, and it's worth it if you're genuinely intolerant.

It’s a year later when I first read this comment thread, and the exchange stuck with me for some reason. It’s interesting to me that some foods containing gluten can be missed to this extent. I mean, I get it. I love bread but I find I have a bodily change to my breathing when I eat it, though I have been tested and have no allergic reaction. So I wonder what the gluten in my bloodstream is doing for other organs, especially the brain. There are easy non gluten breads that can be made quickly at home, eg with lentils and psyllium. I have some of these on hand generally. But I think that you have to be honest and ask yourself how you finish this phrase: “bread and …” If your answer is ‘butter’ or margarine or jam or cold cuts or cheese or peanut butter, well then you aren’t following the McDougall diet to a T.

Except B12, don't ever take a vitamin supplement without a diagnosed deficiency, and ALWAYS consult a dietitian, or get otherwise counselled from a reliable source, about how to correct the deficiency with food.
Caloric restriction for life extension does not in and of itself work. It only works if it is a healthy diet which is a high carbohydrate low protein low fat diet consistent with McDougall diet. Low protein compared to a normal diet is a primary aspect of the concept. Furthermore, the degree of caloric restriction when following the proper diet is much higher than originally thought and is consistent with people like the Okinawan centenarians of the past.
For someone who has had their thyroid removed, which supplements should be kept in rotation? At least until it can be stopped completely but as for now, trying to limit the amount of daily supplements.

You might benefit, with hypothyroidism and vulnerability with weight, a video consultation with the Program, or equivalent. Depends then on your current medical care.
I recommend you look up heavy menstrual bleeding on Earthclinic. I'd post the link but my comment would be deleted. There are a number of natural remedies but the one that stood out to me was cayenne pepper, which resolved this problem literally within minutes.
Wonder what you're like for any co-morbid medical conditions prior, any aggravating factors such as meds, supplements, and/or any sensitities to wheat/gluten/soya etc. Sounds like you may need medical consultation from the Program or its equivalent for this one. Heavy menstrual periods shouldn't otherwise be happening.
@@JohnDoe-xk1dv I took angstrom iron and bone support, nano particle sized minerals this past month. I don't take any medicines. I do believe I have some nutritional deficiencies and low calcium, which could affect bleeding. I was eating some wheat the past two months and some organic tofu. I normally don't eat wheat. I wonder if wheat/soy products could affect hormones. I only eat organic soy. I try not to eat processed foods but if I do, the ingredient list is pretty clean with no emulsifiers.
Check and study if you get your critical nutrients home. For hypothyroidism particularly: Iodine >150µg per day, selenium >60µg (most vegs are deficient outside North America), Vitamin D3 >2000IU or equivalent UVB exposure (D require some study to unterstand). On low fat diets particularly: Vitamins A / E / K. Generally: Zinc (almost all vegs are deficient because phytate blocks zinc) Understand that aggressive calorie restriction & sports smashes the thyroid, which is part of the yo-yo effect -> Ease out. If hypothyroidism (which prevents weight loss) doesn't go away (e.g. persistent auto-immune disease), of course you need treatment.
I guess it is important say this pacient I discovered eat rice and beans, don’t eat meat…. But don’t eat vegetables, legumes and fruits! He’s 14 years old!!!!! Visual field gets better one eye , but left eye there is still scotoma(24-2 visual field)
To be fair pellagra is largely the result of *forgoing* food processing - namely nixtamalization. The correct lesson is not so much that food processing is arrogant and bad as much as arrogance in disregarding tradition and God's wisdom is harmful.
I feel that listening to Dr. McDougall is pointless because he doesn't cite studies and we're supposed to assume that everything he says is true. All he's doing is preaching to the choir. Pointless.
@@afoxnamedmulder As he's speaking as an authority, it's his job to document. He should at least be providing links to cites for every scientific assertion he makes. Otherwise, as I said, he's just preaching to the choir and it's not worth my time to listen. At least Dr. Greger cites studies, although I think he overhypes some things.
Love his message. And I love his ability to scientifically backup everything he says.

If you don't go into the sun and take no vitamin D supplement, the only other way to get your vitamin D3 is from fish, like sardines or cod liver oil.

I wonder if wheat/soy products could affect hormones. I only eat organic soy. I try not to eat processed foods but if I do, the ingredient list is pretty clean with no emulsifiers.
Could Dr andMary comment on a Raw food vegan lifestyle please.
So should that last lady go back and have more surgery until the margins are clear?
What if your following exactly what you say, and your body is not releasing weight, hypothyroidism is a factor as well, what then?
Check and study if you get your critical nutrients home.
For hypothyroidism particularly: Iodine >150µg per day, selenium >60µg (most vegs are deficient outside North America), Vitamin D3 >2000IU or equivalent UVB exposure (D require some study to unterstand).
On low fat diets particularly: Vitamins A / E / K.
Generally: Zinc (almost all vegs are deficient because phytate blocks zinc)
Understand that aggressive calorie restriction & sports smashes the thyroid, which is part of the yo-yo effect -> Ease out.
If hypothyroidism (which prevents weight loss) doesn't go away (e.g. persistent auto-immune disease), of course you need treatment.

To be fair pellagra is largely the result of *forgoing* food processing - namely nixtamalization. The correct lesson is not so much that food processing is arrogant and bad as much as arrogance in disregarding tradition and God's wisdom is harmful.
I feel that listening to Dr. McDougall is pointless because he doesn't cite studies and we're supposed to assume that everything he says is true. All he's doing is preaching to the choir. Pointless.
There're all on his website if you want to read them
He's giving his opinion. It's YOUR job to investigate all information given by anyone, especially when pertaining to your health.
@@afoxnamedmulder As he's speaking as an authority, it's his job to document. He should at least be providing links to cites for every scientific assertion he makes. Otherwise, as I said, he's just preaching to the choir and it's not worth my time to listen. At least Dr. Greger cites studies, although I think he overhypes some things.
@@andreawisner7358 They’re on his website.
@@Ruth-rs1rj Still not worth my time.
