My hard-won-over 84 year old mother watched this lecture today, and she nodded the whole time! She finally faced facts, and realized that the food I cook is the right food for her;) Last October when she had her TIA, she buckled down and got with the program, and she sees with the benefit of hindsight that the McDougall way is the right way.
I've experienced hyperphagia. It was when I had been eating a junk food diet, and switched to starchy whole foods. I could eat a pound (1600 calories) of pasta four times a day! And I did! After a couple weeks, that extreme hunger went away, after I assume my body had absorbed from the nutrient dense plant foods, the nutrients it was being denied on my previous way of eating.
This was an amazing presentation. Losing weight without hunger is the holy grail. I did a weigh and measure program, which worked for a while, but then when I got off it my hunger was insatiable. I’m sticking with this from now on (already started and lost a couple pounds!)
The Zone is almost half McDougall and half Atkins. That stupid diet gave me gout before I found Low fat High Starch . Thanks again Dr. McDougall you change my life
After eating my second large bowl of vegetable-bean soup with whole wheat penne, I assure you.....hunger never need be a problem for you ever again, provided you get the food right;)
I just wanted to add as a psychologist that mental.meds such a depakote and other meds are noted weight gainers. People can have excessive and notable weight gain on certain meds. But probably no research on the type of food with these medications... so uncertain.
The doctor gets right to the heart of the matter again! I worked in the homes of very sick, overweight individuals and I always noticed that they had cupboards full of diet shakes and heavy duty laxatives, I wondered if there was a theme going on.
Aaah i fell asleep and missed the live. When i first heard him said we should eat starch+fruits & veggies to be healthy, i’m in his camp straight away. I never weighed above 55kg when i ate a whole lot of rice with some veggies & a small piece of meat. When my mom put me on a diet and cut my rice consumption by 70% but increase my meat intake, it left me hungry and i could never bring my weight down.
After 6 weeks I had lost 15lbs. No hunger. No more acid reflux. No more sleep issues. My energy is now fantastic. No more high blood sugar. I will never go back to the SAD! Great stuff.
I tried the keto diet like 5 years ago and didnt like how I felt. I felt like I was constently had the flu thought to myself how is feeling like this is healthy? The truth is its not healthy to feel sick all the time. How is that ok? But I stopped it. Now I am on this vegan plant based diet I dont feel sick I feel healthy and love it.
I think many overeaters feel a lot of shame about it. We need to help them Love themselves 1st. How? 🤷♀️ I don’t know. But shaming doesn’t help. Sometimes they have to get cancer or similar to change.
In myself, this observation works for every situation of my life; recognize the shame that is causing inertia and my mind wakes up into a world of exploration and enthusiasm for transformation. ❤It also works in my judging mind when I have anger at another person and am flinging shame at them
When I switched from a Keto/Paleo diet (which caused a 25 pound weight gain in 2023) to Dr. McDougall’s , I overate on his diet for about two weeks. Then my hunger dropped significantly. So hang on. Btw, I wasted 19 years in a restrictive 12 step food plan program and was food obsessed and hungry the whole time. Turns out it was the food all along.
GREAT presentation. However I think there was one misrepresentation. Doug (who was on Chef AJ's show a couple of months ago) did not participate in the olympics as an athlete, he was "only" a volunteer helping the organisers. Furthermore his diet was more "refined" than just being starch based; he took calorie density in to full account (as per Chef AJ learns us) AND HE COUNTED CALORIES in a rather extreme way to achieve his huge success!!!
This is so good. I love dr mcdougall. The guy needs a noble peace prize or something. That said I wish he would fix the typo on the 1st slide of the beakers. Above potatoes, it should say 0.6...not 0.06.
Thanks. I found out on the internet that I can get omega 3 fatty acids from nori and wakame. I gave up bread and feel so much better. I used to retain water eating wheat bread. Thinking of adding steel cut oatmeal to my food. I will be willing to do an experiment with starch and see.No dairy including butter and no added sugar. No dried fruit or fruit juice. I have trouble sustaining a low carb diet with olive fat and eggs/ fish bc although I was satiated. I would be hungry 4-5 hours later but I could not bare to eat more fiber as non starchy salad vegetables and eat protein again. I'm concerned about taxing kidney with more animal protein again. I grabbed hummus with. crackers so I need some starch.
There is an ‘all in’ movement and this study is often talked about. Many are ending the diet cycle and eating whatever they want. Going through extreme hunger but many’s experience is it levels out after time. Different for everyone and then they become a normal eater and person. Not so obsessed w food etc. but they have to let go and trust the process. Gain the weight and let it go. They aren’t doing it with the starch solution way but that would be interesting.
Set point? I was a slim child slim adult, weight began to increase around age 39, increaded from then on, now aged 70 weigh 18 stone ! Eating lots of carbs today, been mostly liw fat vegan for months, cant seem to stop the hunger!!
Unfortunately, for so many of us food addicts-our hunger is not physiological. We have an emptiness we try to fill or medicate our emotional/mental emptiness and/or physical pain with food. As long as we have no alternative coping mechanisms and self-medicate with food, we will struggle with our weight (even if we are vegans). I’m much healthier physically binging on beans,veggies and fruits than salt/sugar/oils, but I’m still overweight.
@@jgrysiak6566 Me either! The first thing out of his mouth after almost dying from a blood clot was that he couldn't wait to cook his Thanksgiving turkey. 🤦 When he returned to work, everyone laughed and applauded him for this. These people are so damn clueless!
Finally, the main media reported last night that the Keto diet is one of the worst diets out there. They said that the dangers of it may out weight the benefits! We knew that all along, didn't we?
Diabetic people don't know what else to eat because they have been programmed by nutritionists that potatoes, rice, bread , pasta, etc. turns to sugar in the system. A meat & broccoli diet doesn't last!
I followed it for years because I didn't know any other options! Until I found Dr. Neal Barnard's book "Foods that cause u to lose weight, the negative calorie effect" it was an eye opener!
I think once you meet your weightloss goal, you should add back the nuts and avocados because having more cologne and a little fat makes the body look more attractive.
I like to have the hunger feeling. Plus the less I eat the more energy I have. Especially going without food from the evening until at least 2:00 the next day. Usually four.
I have tried the keto diet and quit it because I felt sick all the time I hated it. Its not healthy to feel sick all the time. So I quit that diet. Now I am vegan and eating startches and veggies. Feel alot better that I made that choice. I have lowered my blood pressure. Hopefully I get off of high cholesterol meds and iron pills from being on this diet and lose so me pounds. 3 weeks into this diet I tried a pinch of a hamburger helper that my roomate made it tasted nasty. Day 60 on the diet a family of a resident at work left us some bday cake I took a bite of a peace had to through it away because it tasted so bad it was terrible. Not going to do that again.
Campbell says in. The china study (pretty sure) 1500 calories in not sustainable These men were said to be semi starvation at 1500 I’ve read it’s the calorie needs for a toddler. So why are so many adults (mainly women) daily only having 1500 cal as maintenance calories to keep a weight loss
Because it works. My resting rate is 1150 calories. Add exercise 200, and movement maybe 100, and you've got 1450. I'm 5'2" 137lbs. The thinnest I've ever been eating 95% vegan and low fat. People saying to eat more calories are looking at women over 5'6" even though the average woman in the US is 5'4".
@@mowthpeece1I'm 5'6" and 165lbs. My body fat is however 38% which is higher than it should be for my weight. My basal metabolic rate is still only 1350, and I don't exercise just a little bit of walking. 1500 calories being semi starvation for active MEN, does not mean it's too low for women looking to lose weight. Men and women just aren't the same. I absolutely don't lose any weight eating more than 1500 calories even on a good diet, because a higher body fat percentage means you have less muscles and the muscles are what give a higher BMR.
The low-fat vegan diet SOUNDS great, smart, logical -- my trouble sticking it is the lack of fat/oil. Potatoes just don't taste great without a little butter or something. That's the elephant in the room with it -- taste/flavor.
So you don’t have any problem with a low fat diet except you can’t give up oil/butter etc? well, then go back to trying to counting calories. It won’t work, but you’ll have another reason to say why you can’t do something.
Chad, try giving up butter and oil, but replace it with avocado and walnuts. You'll 1) eat the food, 2) not feel deprived, 3) be healthier since butter and oil are terrible for you, and 4) be able to more easily moderate yourself towards a lower fat diet since whole fatty plants are not nearly as addictive as pure fats are.

I'm going crazy. I've done Keto for so long.... was not called Keto when I started doing it.. well I will say I was having carbs with the meat and veggies.. then turned to just meat and veggies.. I'm trying to eat carbs now.. I'm diabetic.. I have no clue how much insulin I need.. I was not moving my pump sites like I should have been... so I need different amounts of insulin for every site I put in and I'm going crazy trying to figure it out... my blood sugars are extremely high. I seriously just want to cry. I'm not giving up... I'm going to figure this out as long as it takes.. I just hope it doesn't take long because I don't feel good at all.
At least get the "Mastering Diabetes" book, which isn't too expensive. And worth every penny. (Also consider reading "Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes" and Brenda Davis' "Kick Diabetes Essentials")
I starved myself and fasted and is still having nerve injury. I had surgery and medicine saved my life. Olive oil, vegetable, fruits, seeds, nuts, cinnamon, and water. A therapist helps a lot. A person who cares and loves you.
A friend of mine starved herself by drinking Optiva shakes to lose 50 pounds. She still starves herself on them to maintain the weight loss. She bakes alot & needs to drop the butter, margarine, eggs, oil & milk out of her baking. Now her husband has Altzheimers from eating her fatty food!
Please don’t judge this poor woman and her husband. Alzheimer’s is not caused by fat in diet 😆- if that were the case then the French , Italians and Scandinavians would be having more Alzheimer’s than the US. Low fat processed junk may be a factor but hey who knows - it’s life.

Agree. Also Taylor Swift has spoken publicly about her struggle with anorexia-not sure that’s a good representation for a healthy set point.
