WooHoo! You're doing better than people on meds!!! Boom!!! That's fantastic! 💜💜💜
Andrew do you remember the scene in Forrest Gump, where he starts running back and forth across the country and people start running with him. Well, I think there are going to be alot of spud fit followers.
+Billy Dee haha great scene and a nice thought :-)
This in so many ways is gonna give the world so much important information...the power of the potato when eaten without any overt fats and oils and the power of a starch based plant based lifestyle to heal the body mind and soul!!
Congrats!!!! You can see a huge difference since January
Great job Andrew. Do you plan on posting some more details of your blood tests? If people saw your glucose and a1c numbers, they'd be able to realize that a high carb starch based diet doesn't cause diabetes and can actually improve insulin sensitivity. Also, the lipid panel details like LDL, HDL, Triglycerides would be helpful.
Good on you! This proves that plant based works perfectly.
Great news on your results mate, glad that went well (not that I'm surprised). You're so full of energy, absolutely beaming. Will keep my eye out for the project piece :)
2.9 actually converts to 112 total cholesterol which is even more amazing. Correct you’ll never have a heart attack if you maintain this level.
i just compared your face between your first vid and this one and its incredible. every time you feel discouraged, look at that and you'll be amazed. awesome work !
YES!! That is great news! I'm so happy for you. With this you will inspire so many people. You have definitely been an inspiration for me, keep up the good work!
Fantastic results Andrew so happy for you and those cholesterol levels and amazing. Can't wait to see The Project next week! :)
excellent! that's great news. This is so exciting following your journey.😀👍
so happy for you Andrew! great news! you are so inspiring!
This is excellent! Not that you needed the "proof" from the blood results because you feel so fantastic, but now others can know that this is a great way to eat!
Your results sounds awesome! I'm so glad it's working so well for you!
Awesome results! Love following your journey❤️
So happy for you mate. Keep it up! And keep recommending places to eat 😋
Yippee! You are making it happen, Andrew. Proud of you mate.
Well done mate. Dr John McDougall is proved right about spuds. I've followed the starch solution and I no longer binge and in 9 months I'm down from 82.9 to 55.9k and although I am now considered slim it is still a surprise when I catch site of myself in a shop window e.g. As I still think of myself as fat. So I sympathise with your self image confusion. We'll get there tho. All the best. Jen (Brighton East Sussex UK)
Awesome effort! We'll get there :-)
So glad the results turned out to be this amazing! 😊👍👍
OMG your results are amazing!!!! Well done :)
Great job and congratulations! Keep it up and show the skeptics the truth!
Wooooooow - that is great! Doesn't it feel good to see the success of your hard work and prove the nay sayers wrong. ;-)
Amazing job !! So happy for u
your face is much slimmer since day one.im so excited to try this thanks for your uploads!!!!
🤔 wow you really got excellent results. 👍
You must be feeling incredible right now, Kudos to you, now time to celebrate with a potato cake!🎂
Happy for you!
Congratulations!!
Awesome news!
Congratulations!
Good job. You raised your metabolic rate by eating all those great carbs.
Wonderful to hear about your results (we all knew it would np e good, tho!!). Thank you for being so transparent with everything. Gosh your neck is getting so thin...all the indentations!!
You're doing an amazing job. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the year goes.
Maybe you could do a video about the book The Starch Solution? (Or did you already do that?)
Good idea! :-)
I am so happy to have come across this . I do have problems with food. I don't like most of it.This is something I have lived with all my life don't know why. I like potatoes. Thank you so much ! I have met so many Dr. McMillians who have made my life miserable
Great results! I bet your HbA1c is excellent, too!
Btw.: I read that Uric acid is often somewhat elevated in vegans. No idea why. But it seems that this is to be expected.
Awesome!!!
Hey have you ever had those purple potatoes? They're a really dark purple all the way through and so good, especially baked. If you felt like some trying a different kind of potato I recommend them! I get them from Naturally on High in Thornbury.
+myraRay I have, delicious! I put a bit of jam on them :-)
Did you have an A1C test "sugars in the blood" done prior to start and with these test? If so was there any change? Great job by the way.
+Ag Addict yes, it was already pretty good but it dropped between tests. Can't remember exact figures though.
8:05 total cholesterol conversion to US is 120! Are you kidding me that just amazing. Would love to see a video with updated labs.
haven't had lab work since the end of my potato year. Maybe I'll do it again some time...
Love this video. Can't lie about good results! Wow!! the way to go is to eat starch!
thanks!
Fanbloodytastic! Inspiration mate! Really!
+Ozzy Jay Thankyou!
Amazin!!!
I'm curious to see what happens when you reach a healthy weight, a point at which you no longer want to lose weight. Will your body adjust and switch into a maintenance phase, or will you continue to lose weight. I suppose at that time it's just a question of making sure you are eating enough calories to maintain a particular weight. I know weight loss is not your goal, but it's still interesting to see what happens. Thanks for doing this publicly. It's an interesting project.
Yes I'm super interested too! My guess is that my weight will just level off naturally in its own but perhaps I'll have to include another type of higher calorie food or try to eat a bigger volume of spuds...
I'm glad you are going back over the results, I couldn't hear the doctor at all on that clip. would be great to have the first read out and this one to compare, I would really like to know your glucose numbers. did the doctor give you the results in two hard copies for your records? Hope we see a clip of the "The Project" Thanks for sharing! See ya! Good Clip!
I don't know the numbers, he just told me they were great! I've got a print out somewhere...
Hi,
Was there an adjustment period where you felt worse at first when first starting this diet? If so, how long did it last? Whenever i try to do a low fat high carb diet i get symptoms of hypoglycemia. So im wondering if i just have to stick it out and wait for my body to adjust? Thanks!
+theanswer27 Yes the first 3 or 4 days weren't very good, by day 5 I was coming good though and I haven't looked back :-)
+Spud Fit ok that's reassuring. Were you having hypoglycemia type symptoms during those first few days?
+theanswer27 Only symptoms were headache and bloating.
Im australian as well and saw you on the project!
cool!
I wonder who the idiot is who dislikes every video... who ever the person is, you must enjoy it enough to watch it.. but 1 dislike compared to thousands shows more about them than the gentleman sharing his journey with us all.
I am very happy for you!!!How many calories do you eat?Do you buy organic potatoes?:)
I don't track cals, just eat as much as I feel like, whenever I feel like. As a guess probably close to 3000cals. Not concerned about organic spuds.
Sorry if I missed it but did you get your blood pressure checked? I've seen it somewhere that eating potatoes could increase blood pressure. That's the one thing I'm kinda concerned about before trying to go on a few week stretch of a potato diet.
My blood pressure came down. If follow the rules 100% and yours goes up from doing this then you'll be the first I've heard of.
@@SpudFit Wow thank you! Appreciate it
he seems like such a nice doctor
+olivia1uk Indeed he is! :-)
Excellent. Well done. Are you going to post your episode of the Project on here or do I have to remember to watch it?
I'll make a video :-)
+Spud Fit can't wait for that video
out of curiosity whats your b12 like? 500+ is preferable
Haven't looked at the actual number, doc said it was good.
May have seen but missed this - on average, how many lbs of potato are you consuming daily ?
+rishi kataria nvm, just read 3.5-4 kg per day, thats a lot !
On average how many potatoes would you say you eat a day? I know It varies just an average..
I've never counted, I'd say I average 3.5-4kgs per day.
Awesome Andrew, did they test thyroid function? I would say it is not a problem since you are losing weight and full of energy.
+Billy Dee Probably, there were lots of tests. I'm far from an expert with this but if it was tested then it was all good, doc would have told me about it otherwise :-)
It would be something like Tsh T3 and T4 and anything about HDL to LDL ratio? Did it improve?
+Billy Dee HDL to LDL ratio improved and the individual readings for both of them improved too. Can't see anything for Tsh, T3 and T4 though, maybe I'm missing something...
+Spud Fit No worries, Doctors do not always run the thryoid test, unless you ask, maybe next time, you could ask the doctor to test it. The fact that you are losing weight and are full of energy seems to indicate your thyroid is functioning well, the human body is amazing at maintaining homeostasis.
+Spud Fit How has your blood pressure changed over the nearly 100 days and are you on any medicines? Thanks
+Spud Fit What was your cholesterol before you started the all-potato diet? Please give in U.S. numbers, thanks from _____ to _____ . I'm trying to see the difference. My gf's cholesterol went from 266 to 153 in 11 months + lost 45 lbs. just following the "Starch Solution," but didn't lose the weight so rapidly as you (for the same time period) as you're losing on all potato. Thanks ahead for your reply:-)
+Jerry U In U.S. numbers I'm not sure but I think it was over 200 to around 120 in the first 99 days.
Spud Fit Thanks!! Best of luck with your continuing journey towards the year mark:-)
Remember, you're not eating a high "carb" diet, but a high "STARCH" diet. Carbohydrates are usually associated with refined foods. :)
There are different kinds of carbohydrates, complex and simple carbs. Potatoes certainly are high in carbs, yes they are starchy carbs but still carbs.
+Conufan Oh okay I get it now, yes I remember him explaining that too. Personally I'd rather not be focussing on any macronutrients at all, just eating whole foods.
what was you hbA1C...blood sugar levels...
+wheeliewheelie I don't have that on my bit of paper, I think the tests have different names dpending on where you are. The good Doc did say that my blood sugar levels were excellent though.
Did they do all the nutrients tests? like omega 3, vitD, etc...
+VeganBanana Yes, I'm getting everything I need :-)
I'm having a problem listening to his message while watching him record it while driving the car. Why not do this at home before you leave? You will be safer and so will others on the road.
+Don Cassel It's just a camera attached to the dash and I'm going about 10kph while stuck in traffic. I started and stopped the recording while the car was not moving. I never actually operated the camera while the car was moving, nor would I.
