I cannot thank you enough. I am 55 this month and three months ago I was 195 pounds at only 5 feet tall. I tried keto and failed because I love my carbs. Also I really was vegetarian so keto was kind of gross for me. Once I found you, I found my people. Today I am 159 pounds which is amazing. My goal is 130 which I know as I gain my health, will be no issue. My bloodwork was recently done and my doctor is amazed. This IS my way of life. I loved my air fried potatoes this morning for breakfast. Thank you! Thank you!
Team nutritarian here, I just want to share a slightly different perspective. When I was eating a low fat whole food plant based diet (starch solution style), I was never satiated. Sure, I was full, but I would still eat and eat and eat without feeling satisfied. Since I've started strictly following Dr. Fuhrmans' diet and upping my nuts and seeds intake, I am finally satisfied and able to listen to my hunger cues. So pretty much the opposite of what you said happened for me! Weight-wise, I was thin on both programs, but I actually lost a few pounds and got even leaner on the nutritarian diet, even though I was really scared of eating more nuts and seeds at the start, thinking I would gain weight. Speaking of nuts and seeds, Dr. Fuhrman really convinced me that not eating them (and not taking a dha supplement) was actually not favorable to longevity, all the studies show that. And nowadays, I really think you're missing out on so many health benefit if you don't eat at least 1 to 1.5 oz of nuts and seeds a day. Just a correction: you said there is a lack of starch in the nutritarian diet, but that isn't true. You have to have a minimum of a cup of beans a day and beans are a starch + you can also eat less nutrient dense starch, like oatmeal, etc. I personnally don't, because once I've eaten the cup of beans, two ounces of nuts, 2 lbs of veggies and some berries, I maybe have some room for a few more pieces of fruit and that's it, but I'm tiny. A taller heavier person who needs the extra calories can definitely eat more starch on the nutritarian diet. Regarding animal products, I noticed Dr. Fuhrman's views evolved over the years. Initially, he didn't want to deter people from his diet from the start, because of the absence of animal products, hence the 0-10% guideline. I get that, because even though I'm an ethical vegan and that pains me to say this, some people just won't go on a vegan diet, no matter what. Hopefully one day the world will go vegan whether they want it or not and those people will consume lab-grown meat or some other replacement. But nowadays Dr. Fuhrman basically says the less animal products the better, he doesn't eat any and he definitely never ever said those were health foods. About salt and sugar, the major difference between Starch Solution and nutritarian is that Dr. Fuhrman recommends what's OPTIMAL for health and longevity, while Dr. McDougall recommends a healthier diet that would still appeal to the masses. Only problem is that continuing to consume salt and sugar keeps perpetuating the cravings for those things. If you go cold tofurkey and cut those out, yes it will suck for a while, but eventually your taste will be stronger and you'll appreciate food even more. So that was my slightly different pespective, hopefully it can help somebody who is struggling on a low fat diet, but is scared to eat nuts and seeds because of weight gain!
I do gain weight though when I eat nuts and seeds I followed medical medium and neatly 5 stone eating high carb low fat fruits and veggies in abundance as soon as I've started eating healthy fats I've gained roughly a Stone and a half, it's so frustrating
every culture in the world has starches and grains as staples.I think you can do both by following McDoughall and adding more greens and other nutrient dense foods You make a lot of sense.
I lost weight on the Starch Solution, so I’m Camp McDougall. I do think that starches are the key to satiaty, but I think fruits and veggies are the healthiest foods you can eat. Thank you for your videos. Love your cats!!!
I’m a nutritarian gal all the way! Dr F is a massive fan of all beans, they are a starch and one of his Gbombs so definitely we are encouraged to eat them. I also love nuts and seeds as my way of getting healthy fats in so I do like that part of the regime too. I do still have potatoes because I love them and don’t see why we can’t include them as part of an overall healthy diet. He also loves oats which is a starch too! There seems to be so many pros for eating this way and including berries daily which are low in calories for great health benefits! Thanks for this video very interesting Emmie! Xx
Starch. I have tried too many veg, and like you said Emmie, I got a distended tummy and gut issues. By adding the starch, also 50/50, I am satisfied on a much smaller amount and the weight is being released effortlessly. Love your work amazing Emmie xx
I really liked your rundown on the differences between the 2 doctors. I think both are good, but the prize definitely goes to Dr. McDougall. He and his videos convinced me to switch my diet about 10 years ago, and I have maintained a loss of 100 pounds over that time period. As an older guy about your parents age, I stay very active, and I just gotta have those starches. I tried swinging the menu more toward Dr. Fuhrman's content a few times and I just got too hungry. I find 3 to 4 pounds of Potatoes to be pretty much a minimum. I have no doubt a wide variety of different veggies is a great idea, but I cook for one person and a more limited menu just makes more sense and is far easier too. Keep on making that always great content as I enjoy your videos.
Starch Solution is for me. I love eating a big bowl of rice with veggies and my morning steel cut oats with fruit. The more starch the better for me. I’ve been a starch eater all my life but it was half processed starch. I like being full and satisfied
STARCH! Mcdougall all the way! I do love my non starchy vegetables too! I find the sweet spot is about 50/50. I will eat alot of vegetables and I eat starch until satisfied.
I would pick yours if I could afford it. I love everything about it. But I am on a very limited budget. (As in only Social Security...not very much either) so I have to stick to the free stuff I can find. So I do a lot of what you and Dr. Mcdougall do. And I love your cats! How can I not love your channel?!!!
have you tried frozen red raspberries, frozen mango, frozen cherries, banana or adding some protein powder that is sweetened with stevia/monk fruit? that's how I got off the sugar in my oatmeal. I don't even miss it now
Very well done Emmie! Very nicely done. I largely agree, SS needs more veggies, ETL needs more starch, but recently Dr F has said he always encourages people to completely eliminate animal products. Also don't forget that Dr F is actually pro plant fats whereas Dr McD is generally avoid them as much as possible! I eat pretty much like you said, more veggies but still including starch. Limiting but not excluding all fat.
I originally did the Nutritarian diet at the urging of my former doctor, and I lost weight on it. But I was only able to sustain it for 3 months, and then my stroke survivor husband was diagnosed with cancer, and then had a few more challenges and I was a mess. Nutritarian diet is not very satisfying. I would eat huge bowls of salad that seriously would take me 30-45 minutes to eat, and then be hungry again in a couple of hours--and Dr. Fuhrman does not believe in snacking. There is no comfort food in nutritarianism, and I did not have the wherewithal to be constantly worrying about what I was going to eat and how I was going to find the time to do all the meal prepping. Dr. F frankly states it is mainly a soup and salad diet. Only a half cup of grains a day? No pasta, no potatoes, no rice if you had oatmeal for breakfast. I was miserable. However, I am grateful for the push into a vegan diet--I had never done this before--and it opened my eyes to a new way of eating, so I do owe Dr. Fuhrman thanks for that. And I stayed vegan for 4 years, even though I couldn't stick with the entire nutritarian plan. (Can't forget the GBOMBS). Then I digressed into vegetarianism, then lacto-ovo vegetarianism, then pescatarian diet, as I was craving salmon and honestly, in a pinch, it was just easy to fix a grilled cheese sandwich or scramble some eggs for a last-minute meal. I always knew WFPB was where I needed to be, but it wasn't until the Starch Solution entered my life that I really found a WOE I could stick with. For someone who has never enjoyed cooking, the Starch Solution fits me perfectly. It's food I am comfortable with, food I don't have to think about, and food that I grew up eating, though not always in its whole, natural form. This is a a plan I can see myself living with for years and years to come.
I was part of a one year nutritarian study through the University of Arizona. I always joked that I followed the nutritarian lifestyle better than Dr Furhman. I had to eat enormous amounts of food and always had a distended stomach. When I morphed into a combination of nutritarian/ starch solution I had improved gut symptoms.
totally spot on! you have to do whatever it takes to get those veggies in. if it takes a little sugar on the oatmeal, do it. a little salt on the green stuff, go for it. most people cannot go from processed food to suddenly eating spinach smoothies. I was able to wean myself off of meat and junk food by doing this. now I am mostly salt and oil free as well. down 25 pounds and cholesterol is way down, too. everyone is asking me how I did it. they dont believe me when I tell them how easy it is.
They are all (Bernard, McDougal, Fuhrman, Greger, Esselstyn, Ornish, Campell, etc) great. But in terms of overall health, McDougal is at the bottom of the group. He just doesn't go into the big picture, whole health, and nutrient density.
I follow the starch solution. I follow the 50/50 method. I actually think there is a high focus on vegetables. I tried the Nutritarian way and found it not to be an enjoyable or sustainable way to eat for me.
All good points. Dr Greger came out with the latest studies on starches (February). Ulcerative colitis victims cannot eat lots of starch. It's not one size fits all. Starch can be huge problem with glycemic index. Look up Dr Gregers latest.
I have tried both and I agree with combining both but I don't agree with the sugar. Sugar is really bad for us and should be eliminated if possible. Sugar from fruit is ok but table sugar, stay away from. Agave too...is worse than corn syrup.
This is so great. I really like both! Starch is amazing, gbombs. Love yours too, Emmie! You definitely speak my language with the good sweet potatoes and banana oatmeal😉💓
I trialed both of those diets back in 2014 when I first went vegan after being vegetarian for several years. I much preferred Starch Solution. It was much more satisfying and I have been on it ever since. I lost forty lbs in the process and have kept it off.
This program seems simple. Working on getting myself into the program and let go of the old stuff---lol. Can only take it a day at a time. At 67 I have tried so many things and have not been able to maintain any of it, Giving this life style change a go.
SOS 😊😊😊 All the way!! But with my signature system, I eat non SOS foods on special occasions. I include nuts and seeds and pasta and bread, all while listening to my hunger fullness cues, which I had totally grown numb to because of binge eating. Released 40lbs, feel great, have energy, and am developing a better mindset in all aspects of my life! No more beating myself up! Next month will be 1 year on SOS..... and still maintaining 😊
I think I do your program already! I’m definitely a starch solution girl and throwing a lot of raw foods in the mix with it. I have a question though. What are your take on smoothies? I love smoothies. And I feel like it’s a way to get in raw vegetables and fruits but not sure if it’s actually going to help my weight loss. I followed the startch solution to a T with 50-50 plate last year and had great results. Then Christmas and holidays came …. Well you can imagine 😂 Getting back on track
What do you think about people with Insulin Resistance and should not eat a lot of carbs? How are they suppose to feel satisfied, eating wise with no meat or dairy with limited carbs. Vegetables are great and necessary but how are you doing to feel up on them ?
Well I' not an expert and I'm not losing weight but the theory is that fat causes type 2 diabetes see Neal Barnard. I find trying to avoid blood sugar spikes is not realistic. I just get hungry and eat. You might include eggbeaters and turkey slices. I cut eggbeater because the pan is too hard to clean so I'm having Almond milk and half a scoop of protein powder.
Combination for sure. No animal but I like my starches and finally feel full and satisfied to go without cravings coming up. I have low blood pressure but also edema in my legs so still avoid salt as much as I can. Can be challenging to feel good always but it’s way better than being on meat and fat as far as how I feel now.
Prefer the starch solution with the addition of more greens! My favorite is one you did not mention: T Colin Campbell! Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease! My concern about Dr Furhman: He is a vitamin salesman!
I love everything about your channel and all your philosophies and the love you share. Regarding this video…I don’t see it as a McDougall vs Furman “diet plan”, at all. McDougall is a genuine Dr who spends his days researching and never intended to be in the “diet” game. Furman sells supplements and that’s “nuff said” for me. Also, Furman’s plan leaves me hungry and unfulfilled almost always and I don’t like that, it’s too complicated and I don’t believe our bodies were designed to eat with mathematical equations in mind (this much fruit + X amount of nuts + this much lettuce = 104 years of healthy living). Also, if there were benefits to eating animal products then that’s why it should be included in a diet…the reason should not be, because more people will comply…? Anyway McDougall is my number 1 forever. I’ve been a disciple of his for more than a decade and as far as I’m concerned, the good Dr saved my life on RUclips! 🥰
Excellent video beautiful Emmie. Starch whole plant foods diet I would prefer because it doesn't contain animal products and processed foods because my body thrives on a vegan Wfpb diet. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕Emmie. Love 💞Peace not war.
I love starches a lot, and I love veggies a lot, but in the bigger picture I do a combo of the two even though I would choose the starch solution over nutritarian if I absolutely had to choose. Salt and sugar are my friends too so that would clinch it. My diet looks mostly like the starch solution, but I do eat a few lowfat/nonfat dairy foods and an occasional can of tuna or salmon on a salad for the extra protein kick for my bones. Great video Emmie.
I have been trying to do the starch solution for 2 years now, I getting going and then fall back into my poor eating habits. Still trying to lose my 120 lbs and I am sure I have lost it 20 times over and gained it back plus some! I need help 😫
The inclusion of animal products is indeed silly. Fuhrman is lacking there once again. Mcdougal has two great lectures titled Protein Mastermind part 1 & 2. I urge all of y’all to listen! During walks, cardio, making up din din, whenever! It is great stuff.
I love your hair color in this video. I do enjoy, however, you changing up your hair color and hair cut from time to time. I haven't changed my hair since 1985 lol.
I cannot thank you enough. I am 55 this month and three months ago I was 195 pounds at only 5 feet tall. I tried keto and failed because I love my carbs.

I appreciated your comment and am interested in your experience. Have you worked with Dr Fuhrman? 😊
@@smoothiedrinker1297 No I haven't, but I've litterally listened to every single podcast with him I think 😁 I'm also on his forum on his website.
I do gain weight though when I eat nuts and seeds I followed medical medium and neatly 5 stone eating high carb low fat fruits and veggies in abundance as soon as I've started eating healthy fats I've gained roughly a Stone and a half, it's so frustrating
Brilliant response and a good balanced view. I said same about beans and oats too! Xx
every culture in the world has starches and grains as staples.I think you can do both by following McDoughall and adding more greens and other nutrient dense foods You make a lot of sense.
Thanks for sharing! 😊

I think to each his/her own. The main thing is for it to be sustainable and that it works.
Starch. I have tried too many veg, and like you said Emmie, I got a distended tummy and gut issues. By adding the starch, also 50/50, I am satisfied on a much smaller amount and the weight is being released effortlessly. Love your work amazing Emmie xx
Start solution with the 50-50 plate is working great for me! I love your content! Thanks for all you do.

I totally agree… couldn’t be without starch,,, millions for hundreds of years maintained a healthy diet this way 👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching! 🤗
I prefer Nutritarian without the animal products and it actually does allow 1 cup of grains/starch on the Agressive weight loss plan.
I follow Nutritarian, but also see the need for starch for satiety. That’s why I love your videos!
Starch Solution is for me. I love eating a big bowl of rice with veggies and my morning steel cut oats with fruit. The more starch the better for me. I’ve been a starch eater all my life but it was half processed starch. I like being full and satisfied

I agree with you I like the combination of both programs cuz if you try to serve me a bowl of unsweetened oatmeal I’m flipping over tables🤣🤣🤣
have you tried frozen red raspberries, frozen mango, frozen cherries, banana or adding some protein powder that is sweetened with stevia/monk fruit? that's how I got off the sugar in my oatmeal. I don't even miss it now
Very well done Emmie!

What do you think is was in the Nutritarian diet and distended your stomach?
totally spot on! you have to do whatever it takes to get those veggies in. if it takes a little sugar on the oatmeal, do it. a little salt on the green stuff, go for it. most people cannot go from processed food to suddenly eating spinach smoothies.

I'm team Starch Solution! Love my potatoes, rice and pasta
They are all (Bernard, McDougal, Fuhrman, Greger, Esselstyn, Ornish, Campell, etc) great. But in terms of overall health, McDougal is at the bottom of the group. He just doesn't go into the big picture, whole health, and nutrient density.
I prefer starch lots of starch plus tons of fruit and vegetables 🍅
I follow the starch solution. I follow the 50/50 method. I actually think there is a high focus on vegetables. I tried the Nutritarian way and found it not to be an enjoyable or sustainable way to eat for me.
Thanks tor breaking this down for us, Emmie. Like you, I practice a combination of both.
Your makeup looks great and so natural in this vid👍❤️!!
I think a combo of both is great. I totally agree with you on your stance.
This was an exceptional video Emmie - I'm a fan of both programs and SOS sounds incredible 🙂
Slim on starch all the way Emmie
I was starving on Eat to Live…I really needed starch to feel satiated.
AND I like the way you Emmie ARE showing us how to do it thank you so much
Starch solution is a dream come true for me!! I have tried numerous diets, but this lifestyle fits me best. Thanks for all the great info
All good points. Dr Greger came out with the latest studies on starches (February).
Ulcerative colitis victims cannot eat lots of starch. It's not one size fits all.
Starch can be huge problem with glycemic index.
Look up Dr Gregers latest.
How do you feel about intermittent fasting for a diabetic?
Side question I love your hair!! What do you ask for when you get it cut?
I think a combo of the two would be a good choice for me. 🙂
Slim on starch sounds the best!
What did you do differently with your makeup? You look fantastic!
I'm team starch solution
The videos with your mom are the best! Your mom should do her own cooking channel!
Slim on starch 💜 your an angel
I have tried both and I agree with combining both but I don't agree with the sugar. Sugar is really bad for us and should be eliminated if possible. Sugar from fruit is ok but table sugar, stay away from. Agave too...is worse than corn syrup.
I am just getting started with The Starch Solution. I’m excited to see the results.
I'm definitely more on the Starch Solution side but I do love my fruits and vegetables!
This is so great. I really like both! Starch is amazing, gbombs. Love yours too, Emmie!
You definitely speak my language with the good sweet potatoes and banana oatmeal😉💓
I want to keep ingesting bone broth for the collagen and also the glycine for my osteoarthritis in my ankle (I broke it in my youth)
I agree with you, but in only part because for many people fruits are just as important or more than vegetables.
Thanks for watching! 😊
Excellent information!! 💕excited to start SOS with you 👍🏻🥳thank you!
I drew the same conclusion when comparing (trying) both programs!! Love this channel. Does anyone know where to find Emmie's risotto recipe?
Healthy Emmie’s slim on starch for the win!! Wish I would have worked with you sooner.
I trialed both of those diets back in 2014 when I first went vegan after being vegetarian for several years. I much preferred Starch Solution. It was much more satisfying and I have been on it ever since. I lost forty lbs in the process and have kept it off.
Thank you so much for sharing! 😻
I prefer the starch solution, go John McDougall!
This program seems simple. Working on getting myself into the program and let go of the old stuff---lol. Can only take it a day at a time. At 67 I have tried so many things and have not been able to maintain any of it, Giving this life style change a go.
I too do a combination of the two
SOS 😊😊😊 All the way!! But with my signature system, I eat non SOS foods on special occasions. I include nuts and seeds and pasta and bread, all while listening to my hunger fullness cues, which I had totally grown numb to because of binge eating. Released 40lbs, feel great, have energy, and am developing a better mindset in all aspects of my life! No more beating myself up! Next month will be 1 year on SOS..... and still maintaining 😊
Thank you so much for sharing! 😻💕
I think I do your program already! I’m definitely a starch solution girl and throwing a lot of raw foods in the mix with it. I have a question though. What are your take on smoothies? I love smoothies. And I feel like it’s a way to get in raw vegetables and fruits but not sure if it’s actually going to help my weight loss. I followed the startch solution to a T with 50-50 plate last year and had great results. Then Christmas and holidays came …. Well you can imagine 😂 Getting back on track
I agree ,listen to both doctors . Either one is good. But I find a combination of the two programs will work best . I have books from both doctors.
Thanks for sharing! 😊💕
Thank you for all the info, it’s given me some tips on breaking my plateau. 💕🥰
What do you think about people with Insulin Resistance and should not eat a lot of carbs? How are they suppose to feel satisfied, eating wise with no meat or dairy with limited carbs. Vegetables are great and necessary but how are you doing to feel up on them ?
Well I' not an expert and I'm not losing weight but the theory is that fat causes type 2 diabetes see Neal Barnard. I find trying to avoid blood sugar spikes is not realistic.

A combo of both! Your makeup looks beautiful today Emmie. 🙂
Oh thank you! 🥰💕
For me I prefer the Starch Solution, because I am a 100% ethical vegan. But I do believe the SS is the healthiest of the two!🙂
I love your answer. I think the same! :)
Combination for sure. No animal but I like my starches and finally feel full and satisfied to go without cravings coming up. I have low blood pressure but also edema in my legs so still avoid salt as much as I can. Can be challenging to feel good always but it’s way better than being on meat and fat as far as how I feel now.
Can someone please explain to me what’s so bad about oils ????
I have been trying to stay consistent with the Starch Solution but I am interested in your program so I will have e to check that out.
Prefer the starch solution with the addition of more greens! My favorite is one you did not mention: T Colin Campbell! Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease! My concern about Dr Furhman: He is a vitamin salesman!
Thanks for sharing!
Starch all the way! I’m In in the 50/50 plate club.
I love everything about your channel and all your philosophies and the love you share. Regarding this video…I don’t see it as a McDougall vs Furman “diet plan”, at all. McDougall is a genuine Dr who spends his days researching and never intended to be in the “diet” game. Furman sells supplements and that’s “nuff said” for me. Also, Furman’s plan leaves me hungry and unfulfilled almost always and I don’t like that, it’s too complicated and I don’t believe our bodies were designed to eat with mathematical equations in mind (this much fruit + X amount of nuts + this much lettuce = 104 years of healthy living). Also, if there were benefits to eating animal products then that’s why it should be included in a diet…the reason should not be, because more people will comply…? Anyway McDougall is my number 1 forever. I’ve been a disciple of his for more than a decade and as far as I’m concerned, the good Dr saved my life on RUclips! 🥰
Loveeeeeeeee all your Stuff!! I just have such a hard time committing to it and sticking to it! My entire life I have been this way! makes me sad ...
Why fill up on starch when you can get all the nutrition you need for better health.
Love me some starch!
Often times things aren't black and white. Why not take what you like from both plans?
Slim on starch!

Excellent video beautiful Emmie. Starch whole plant foods diet I would prefer because it doesn't contain animal products and processed foods because my body thrives on a vegan Wfpb diet. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕Emmie. Love 💞Peace not war.
Slim on Starch
Definitely Starch Solution. The other lets you have too many nuts. Red flag food for me.
I'm a combination of both but mostly Starch Solution.
DR MCDOUGALL AND MARY MCDOUGAL
I love starches a lot, and I love veggies a lot, but in the bigger picture I do a combo of the two even though I would choose the starch solution over nutritarian if I absolutely had to choose. Salt and sugar are my friends too so that would clinch it. My diet looks mostly like the starch solution, but I do eat a few lowfat/nonfat dairy foods and an occasional can of tuna or salmon on a salad for the extra protein kick for my bones. Great video Emmie.
I have been trying to do the starch solution for 2 years now, I getting going and then fall back into my poor eating habits. Still trying to lose my 120 lbs and I am sure I have lost it 20 times over and gained it back plus some! I need help 😫

The inclusion of animal products is indeed silly. Fuhrman is lacking there once again. Mcdougal has two great lectures titled Protein Mastermind part 1 & 2. I urge all of y’all to listen! During walks, cardio, making up din din, whenever! It is great stuff.
Starch solution!!!!!
I love your hair color in this video. I do enjoy, however, you changing up your hair color and hair cut from time to time. I haven't changed my hair since 1985 lol.
