You have such an ellegant, professional, intelligent and accurate way of expressing yourself dear Evita. It is a great joy to listen to your videos. You seem to have thought of every little detail and present everything wonderfully. :-) This refers to all your videos but also especially your recipe ones :-) Doc McDougall at his best again. I love his way of telling how things are. :-) I also have his book "The starch solution". It has become my bible in the past 2 years, while conquering rheumatoid arthritis. ruclips.net/video/fG8zQvoXlhA/видео.html
That is such beautiful feedback to receive Christina. Thank you so much! And how wonderful to hear about your healing journey using whole, plant foods. Sending best health wishes your way :)
At 6 feet tall and 215 pounds I had arthritis, was tired all the time and miserable. September 2019 I started the McDougall diet. At 166 pounds i stopped losing weight. Arthritis is gone I have a lot more energy and feel amazing! No more blood sugar and caffeine roller coaster! I eat all I want of the right foods and weigh about 170 pounds. Dr. McDougall saved my life! I had asthma and almost died from it. This new lifestyle is for me! Thanks John and Mary!!
How wonderful to hear about your successful dietary changes and health improvement! Thank you for watching and sharing your experience with eating this plant-based way. To your continued health and healing!
I have lost almost 60 pounds in 4 months (with exercise ; walking 6 miles a day, 5 days a week) by following Dr. McDougall and Dr. Barnard's teachings and diets. My beard is now growing like wild fire . I had tried to grow a beard without success since 2016 when I was an avid consumer of all kinds of animal products. I've never felt this good in my life before .
I lost my gallbladder due to a 4 year keto diet. My surgeon said his 95% of his income is from keto/atkins dieters. Upon my discharge he told me to “go eat a bowl of oatmeal with some fruit.”
Without this man, I dont think I would be writing this. 8 years ago. I had the early stages of bowel cancer. After years of eating meat and dairy. And way too much red meat. I started on the starch diet. And 8 years later I'm in the best shape of my life. Cancer free. Lost 42lbs. I'm very grateful for all the persistent hard work be has done to help people see the light.
Thank you for taking the time. I'm Asian and decided to start the starch lifestyle 3 weeks ago. It's easy for because I love rice and potatoes. I sleep better, I'm not bloated, my senses seems more clear, and I don't feel my pain that I usually feel. This lifestyle would be common sense but yet so far from the way we think now.
I started Dec26 for health. I thought he makes total sense & backs it all up always! I never was hungry 1 iota & 15 “covid19 lbs” melted off as a side bonus by day 14. I feel great & keep it SOS TOO (no added salt oil sugar). I love it & starch satisfies me. Got his book. Its laid out free on his website & many YT shows. Recommend.
I'm Mcdougalling as we speak and I just lost 6 lbs a week and I eat fruit and rice and moringa. Really yes I Mcdougalling it works. Love ,love ,love Doctor McDougal
My wife´s rash, caused by lupus, that she has been trying to get rid of for 3 years went away after only 2 days on this new diet, we will certainly continue!!!!
In 3 weeks I've lost 7 pounds and dropped my A1C from 9.3 to 8.1 by eating a whole food plant based starch diet. I'm so happy this works because it's so easy!
You're a fantastic interviewer! No awkward moments, eloquent on all the topics at hand and I love how you can sense the respect you have for Dr McDougall.
This doctor is 10000% right in EVERYTHING HE SAYS !!! I saw a LOT of my friends dye after being treated by chemicals and operations !! I am almost 70 and in reasonable good health, eating like the doctor is suggesting but, I am almost an exeption between my friends, eating like this.. Most of them drink, eat meats and dont want to listen to anybody else to get a better life, without having cronical diseases!
+Dee Zee I always try to feature guests who have a strong alignment to my own work, and whose work can show people a similar, yet alternate angle that they can take with regards to the Healthytarian approach. Though no two paths are identical in their beliefs or ideas. That is what adds the positive, yet often challenging, side of diversity in this world. So as I do in my professional and personal life, I always encourage people to listen with an open mind to another, and simply take only that which resonates with us personally, and leave behind that which doesn't. Form your own foundation of truth. So with regards to GMOs, I am personally a strong proponent of organic food, or food that is naturally grown and non-GMO. From my research and perspective, there is simply too much risk and harm, not just to our health, but that of our environment, as well as the people who have to work with GMOs, for us to consider growing or eating GMOs. In order to thrive today, we need to be smart about our food choices in light of modern challenges, so it is not just about what food we will eat, but what the quality of that food will be as well that matters.
This is so true. I've been into this way of eating for 8 months now. And the results are amazing. I'm healthy & my body is burning body fat like crazy. I'm labelled thin or very thin by society, "but in a good way" and not looking "dried out".
@@tiffanyjimenez8104 I'm sticking to wholefoods mainly. And I also noticed that it comes down to the amount of fatty foods you eat (like nuts, avocado, olives). The less fat you consume, the faster you will burn body fat. When you notice that the weight is dropping too fast, you can increase the intake of fatty foods. Hope this helps 😉
What a lovely and interesting discussion. I remember before going vegan thinking the only way I could get healthy was trying Atkins. I did it for six months and was so sick I ended up in Icu with my arteries falling apart. No joke! It’s a sick myth that living like that makes you healthy. I’ve been vegan for a while with a whole foods because of Dr McDougall. I hope someday to tell him how he saved my life.
Thank you for sharing your comment and experience. It is great to hear all turned out well for you by finding the most healing approach to our health and wellbeing.
I too have done Atkins many times to drop a quick ten pounds. It does work very well to switch your body into ketosis and use your own fat to fuel your body. However, I too felt awful and my heart would hurt often. I never got checked by a doctor but I knew my arteries were clogging. Atkins works but is not a sustainable lifestyle. I am currently 19 days vegan and feel amazing. No chest pains and tons of energy!!
viviane Chukwuka so I love black beans and often use that as a main source however, there are many options that are surprising pact full of protein!! I’m eating raw Whole Foods right now and feel great. Basically I eat all day my full of vegetables and fruits and I just got oatmeal milk and I think it’s delicious!!!
I want to share a story. My health got to the point where I couldn't keep any food down and I was really worried. I was malnourished. Then I went on the potato monocleanse diet. Just white potatoes. And I started to keep all the potatoes down and get my energy and health back. I'm a big believer in potatoes and rice. it's just so nice to be validated in this way because so many voices in the health movements say that potatoes and rice are bad but I have found them to be the best things for my body. I needed this validation to feel peace about what's best for me.
Good for you for listening to your own inner guidance and taking steps to bring your health back. Potatoes, rice (whole unprocessed), and other whole real, unprocessed grains are excellent foods to provide energy and nutrients to the human body. Best wishes for your ongoing health!
Fat listener here, but quickly slimming because of Dr and Mrs McDougall. Very grateful for their hard work in educating us with facts and simple cooking.
So glad you've held your ground all these years. You're saving me from myself. I'm not an easy patient, but persistent. lol. Thanks again for your consistency. It matters.
Woot! LOVE it!!! I also just watched Will Kriski's (Potato Strong) interview with Dr. McDougall...so awesome that my "health gurus" on youtube are featuring this fine man!!!! I love his passion and commitment!!! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this great interview. The good doctor is indeed one of our National treasures. We all just need to spread the word and educate everyone else.
Wow! What a treat. I love listening to all the lectures the doc provide on U-Tube. So nice for him to take the time to be interviewed. Thank you both for the knowledge.
wow thank you so much. my dad told me when I went vegan that humans developed the level of intelligence we have today is due to us starting to eat meat. I'm definitely going to show him this video :) thank you again
Hedvig Borgen You are so very welcome! As for why we evolved as we did....ah, yes, unfortunately there are a lot of theories that people pass around or cling onto that are actually not valid. What we hear sometimes in a news story or some media outlet or even a study may be presenting only one set of facts, or simply presenting one side of the story, and then there is the fact that there is so much we do not understand yet about early people's or how evolution really progressed. Meat may have helped humans survive, but today unfortunately the way we are eating it and the quality of it, is destroying the quality of our health and our lives, not to mention our planet. As for intelligence and evolution, that is a whole other topic...
+Debbieanne Marsden Thank you kindly for your feedback. A new episode with Dr. McDougall has just been uploaded: ruclips.net/video/PkzcOY9LmgM/видео.html
I’m starting to see how out of balance this world is...but the change comes only with how I act and how I shift...thank you for doing this every single day...
Hello Evita, I just found your channel by searching for another McDougall Interview and I must say I really appreciate the effort you put into this and also editing your talk by including external pictures and video footage to emphasize his messages. You gained a new follower 🌱
This is excellent information; I especially like his input about the glycemic index. There is so much confusion regarding this. I will watch this video again and again. Thank you.
Thank you John for all your wonderful work and for being the person you are. To go into explaining how you have changed my heath and my families, well I could write a book. I've always been vegetarian and eaten lots of fruit , grains and veg, but giving up the oils,eggs and supplements to a real ,sustainable ,simple ,tasty , satisfying and eco and animal friendly diet. My son is type ! diabetic and is doing fantastic. My daughter had severe period problem, now she is a different person, so happy. Myself, I have so much energy and TIME! life is so much more simple with this knowledge of how to eat . Thank you.
Jane Goodwin What a beautiful comment, thank you so much for sharing this Jane! And so, so good to hear you and your family are enjoying the many positive benefits of plant-based eating.
Finally an MD who has the balls to tell the truth and educated the sheeples. Great Job Dr. McDougall but there still a gap for some improvement in the starch based diet. Awesome interview!
After listening to this entire video. Here’s my thoughts. First Dr. M kept clearing his throat, throughout,much like a smoker. I hope not but this is what I observed. Next, I am 77, many years in the medical field, follow the Keto lifestyle, find I am healthier today than in the past 30 years. I am 4 ft. 11 inches and 97/100 lbs. I will keep searching and may try for 7 days his plan, all these yrs later to see what changes.I NEVER do Facebook, Twitter and such!!!! He too is selling something! I would bet on this! Thanks for sharing. Oh, I hope he’s still on in 2022. I shall see.
Thank you for watching, Jeannie, and for sharing your thoughts. Regarding Dr. McDougall's throat clearing. That is not something that is unique to smokers but really to anyone today who lives in a high pollution area. The formation of mucus that the body wants to excrete through the nose or throat is just the body's self-cleaning mechanism. So it is impossible to conclude what the reason for a person clearing their throat may be unless you know their health history and lifestyle factors. Please keep in mind that if you are going to try any "diet plan" or drastically different way of eating, you need to give your body time to adjust to accurately assess the results. 7 days is not enough to fully understand the impacts of a new diet or way of eating and drawing conclusions are only 7 days can lead to many false perceptions. In general, 6 to 8 weeks is what the body needs to fully reflect all of the internal and external changes that a different diet will produce. Best wishes with your health!
Id like to add that he does give away free info unlike most ppl i see on utube. He doesn't market things like thrive market etc... He seems more genuine then most these days. Just an observation ive made.
I started eating potatoes to lose weight, I weighed 185 lbs. After 3 months eating a mostly potato diet I weighed 140 lbs, that's a 25% weight loss. I'm still eating whole potatoes ( skin and all ) with every meal and I have not had the shits since I started eating potatoes, not once !.. I used to have a probe shoved up my arse and polyps removed from my intestines on a regular basis, but since I started eating the starch based diet the "FIT " tests results have come back as normal. My health has improved no end, I am fit and slim. BEST OF ALL IT"S SO EASY. PS, I'm not a vegan.
I've been on the Dr. McDougall plan for a week. I've lost 12 pounds, I'm not hungry, my skin, sinuses, and lungs have cleared. I've had foot pain for over a year now. It's nearly gone. My dandruff has gone away. I have high mental energy and low fatigue. What's really amazing is how quickly my health improved.
Thanks for watching, Gaurav. Please note that the body does not heal in 7 days all the years of damage it sustains after years of poor eating and drinking habits. For best results you need to make a significant change for at least 6 to 8 weeks.
I'd love to have a link to that new ACS recommendation because I know a few cancer patients who might do well to consider it! Thumbs up for the way you did this interview! You are well prepared (including the structure of the interview) and your questions are well formulated. You are also pretty eloquent! Dr. McDougall noticed it, too...
HighCarb Schwabe Thank you, I greatly appreciate your feedback. As for the ACS, this is what they have available on their site currently if one scrolls past the weight/fitness, there is the diet recommendation section: www.cancer.org/healthy/eathealthygetactive/acsguidelinesonnutritionphysicalactivityforcancerprevention/acs-guidelines-on-nutrition-and-physical-activity-for-cancer-prevention-guidelines
Starting max weight loss today. I appreciate accepting the idea of eliminating poison from my diet. My moderation approach doesn’t work for me at all! Thanks!
I'm not all the way through the interview (which is fantastic, by the way) so it still may come up; but one thing that I do believe needs to be considered is Glyphosate (round-up). If one is going to start eating a lot of starch we need to be aware to avoid glyphosate. So much of our wheat is literally SATURATED with it. They use it to dry the wheat before they harvest it. I've heard many stories of people who can't eat wheat in the US but they go to Italy and eat pasta and they're fine. Italy isn't dousing everything with Glyphosate.
Most definitely. This is a serious issue and is nothing short of a tragedy what has been done to our food system, and how it impacts our health and environment. The more you can find organic or "safe" sources of food that you know you can trust, the better as it lowers the toxicity inside your body, which is a common cause of many illnesses.
When Jesus taught people to pray he mentioned starch: "So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily BREAD" Matt 6:9-11 Jesus uses starch to symbolize Himself: Jesus said to them, “I am the BREAD of life; whoever comes to me shall NOT HUNGER, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." John 6:35 And in the Old Testament when the Isreaites were in the wilderness with nothing to eat, what food did God Himself choose to sustain them for 40 years? "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Behold, I will rain BREAD from heaven for you; Ex 16:4
I don’t promote plant based all the way, but I do promote eating jasmine rice and cane sugar. Never have I gotten fat from that because since childhood I’ve always eaten it and was completely slim and healthy. I also don’t gain weight easily.
Thanks for a great interview! 🌷I enjoyed it👍. Anytime Dr. McDougall wants to introduce Einstein during your future interviews I would love it... just saying...
+Thomas Marabella It all depends on what you are eating. If the starches are refined carbohydrates, and/or if the diet lacks fruits and vegetables, or still has a high amount of animal products, it is not going to go very far.
So I should eat mostly starch, vegetables and fruit, and meat and animal products a few times a week? The body should be used to infrequent animal product consumption if it’s always been there to some amount, right? So just not eat it in excess?
The research for the most healing and prevention shows that no animal products are the most ideal way to go. *Just because our body can digest something does not mean that those items are good for it.* All animal products cause inflammation, toxicity, and acidity - some are just worse than others. Humans have depended on them in the past as a matter of survival and today overindulgence in these products has created the modern lifestyle diseases and weight problems that we have. So how much of any animal products that you choose to include is up to you and will depend on your readiness and health priorities. However, for the highest health benefits and lowest disease risk and weight problems, not eating any animal products is the answer. Diest made of whole plant foods, namely fruits, vegetables, legumes/beans, grains, and nuts/seeds are the way to go. If you wish to learn more about this, aside from Dr. McDougall's work, Dr. Michael Greger provides and explains all of the science behind it: nutritionfacts.org/
@@Healthytarian OK, thanks! I just thought that humans might have adapted to some of it, like the people further north tolerate milk far better than other people. If I understood it correctly the only reliable source of B12 in nature is from animal products, so it would make sense evolutionary that the thing that you need wouldn't kill you. Then again I don't know how much animal product is needed for that. Or how many animals people actually ate some tens of thousands of years ago. Great video BTW!
@@p0p4 Thanks so much for the feedback about the video! The key is *not to mistaken or confuse the ability to digest something with it being good for us.* We are able to digest many things that are not good for us. Think of all of the processed and refined foods that humans have adapted to eat, most of which are extremely unhealthy for us. As for vitamin B12, its original and natural source is from bacteria in the environment, found in soil, water, and on all-natural food. The animals eat right from the Earth and receive this bacteria most naturally. Then people eat the animals and think they are getting the B12 from the animals, but the animals are a secondary source - "the middle man" so to speak. Unfortunately, it is very hard for most humans to eat naturally, right from the Earth today, given our excessive and extreme sanitization practices and unnatural food practices, hence in the modern world a B12 supplement is the wisest thing. Because it would make no sense to eat the animal food for the B12 just to get one benefit, while at the same time getting numerous harmful effects on our health.
Doc you are dam right. In Africa the basic type of food that is eaten is starch. It has been so foe eons until the last fourty years when Western life style intervained. I am surprised that studies do not mention this fact but it is there to see even today. Thank you for the truth that you have work hard to share.
I'm trying to find somewhere on the internet the statement or the policy of the American Cancer society that he mentions which refers to a plant-based diet or a starch-based diet being recommended. Is there a link to that somewhere? I'd like to see that and refer to it and be able to tell others about it.
The ACS has many online references to the benefits and recommendations of eating whole plant foods, especially fruits and vegetables. The whole basis for the most cancer-healthy diet is plant-based, and this is a fundamental fact shared by all healthcare professionals and medical institutions. No one in their right mind is going to tell their patients to eat more animal foods to prevent or heal cancer. Unfortunately, many organizations, including the ACS are funded by various animal food industries and processed food industries, so they are never going to use language as strong as is needed to make people understand that only whole plant foods and no animal foods are the way to go. Watch the film "Hungry for Change" and "Cowspiracy" on Netflix to understand this better and see how these organizations are not trustworthy or good sources for the best health and nutrition info, and why. Either way, the present stance of the ACS is as follows "Eat a healthy diet, with an emphasis on plant foods." See here, just scroll down past the physical activity content: www.cancer.org/healthy/eat-healthy-get-active/acs-guidelines-nutrition-physical-activity-cancer-prevention/guidelines.html Also, scroll through this Q&A from the ACS, which further address various whole plant foods, animal foods, and plant diets, and how they influence cancer risk and healing: www.cancer.org/healthy/eat-healthy-get-active/acs-guidelines-nutrition-physical-activity-cancer-prevention/common-questions.html
I'm a vegan of retirement age, and I've friends who are a little older than me who eat a 'wholesome' diet inclusive of meat. I regularly cycle 60 miles a day, and take no medications. My friends have Type2, obesity, thyroid issues and take handfuls of medications each day. Nomatter how I try to persuade them to change, they insist they're fine....go figure!
Thank you for sharing about your health success with a plant diet. Indeed, many people would rather keep certain foods and habits at the cost of their health, rather than change those foods and habits to improve their quality of health and life. Sadly, whatever one normalizes or gets used to tends to be tolerated even when it creates direct pain and suffering. Best wishes with your continued great health though!!!
Dr. McDougall emphasizes on all his records that we have to avoid animal products and vegetable oil. I am totally confuse with the oil. Does that mean we have to cook without any oil or there are some oils we could use for cooking and salad dressing. I appreciate if you would explain more.
Correct, it means to cook without any oil. All oil is an extract of the whole food, which means that we are missing vital nutrients and helpful parts of the whole food, and getting things that are not only out of balance (i.e. pure fat) but a compound that is overall unstable. Most oil, aside from coconut oil, is made of unsaturated fats in various poly and mono ratios. Unsaturated fat is very sensitive to heat, light and oxygen, which means it can oxidize and go rancid and create free radicals that cause us harm and inflammation very easily. This, in addition to the unnatural substance that it is (does not naturally exist in nature) and high caloric value equates to health problems. This is why many oils are refined, which is the worst of the worst where oils go, and if we look at unrefined extra virgin olive oil for example, which many consider "the healthy oil", no one who understands what I just shared above ever recommends cooking with it, as not only does it degrade any nutritional potential it had within minutes, but it also creates harmful compounds, like all oils which are heated. The higher the temperature and the longer the cooking time, the more destructive the oil becomes. So for practical points, both concepts: cooking with oil and salad dressings based on oil are completely culturally driven, and for the most part quite a modern fad. It is actually very easy to cook without oil. Most plant foods create their own juices, while others only require a thin layer of water. As for salads, the best dressings are simple lemon juice squeezed in alone with some favorite herbs and spices. For more tips on amazing salads without oil, please see my 5-step to amazing salads video here on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/H3_ZQnKLADU/видео.html Ultimately, the more we step out of the mainstream conditioning when it comes to food (and most other things) the more we start doing what is actually best for us on a mind, body and spirit level, rather than what sabotages our health and wellbeing.
At the Last Supper, which food did Jesus give the preeminence to? It was starch: "Now as they were eating, Jesus took BREAD, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples" Matt 26:26
That is a tough one because all three are not good for the human body and carry their own risks. The worst would be a choice between the meat and dairy (not oil) because they have much more risks that impact the whole body in negative ways, whereas oil's negative risks are much more narrowly focused. Meat and dairy negatively impact literally all parts of the body and organs, raising risks of ALL diseases. The right thing is not to choose between them and think that you would be doing something good, but the right thing is to minimize or avoid the use of ALL of such foods in one's diet if health is your priority.
The Glycemic Index is an outdated and highly flawed tool due to the fact that it considers foods only in isolation, when in practice most people mix several foods together as part of a meal, which changes the way the food is digested and the sugars are utilized. It is a tool based on reductionism that favors the parts over the whole. And that is just not how life, our food, or our body works. Nothing is in isolation, everything is interconnected. Also, it has other problems in how it rates and assesses the value of a food. It rates many junk foods as better from a GI view than healthy and wholesome foods. This should be a red flag to anyone looking at this tool right away. Finally, diabetes type 2 is a highly reversible and healable condition created from bad eating habits to begin with. Diabetes won't be cured by eating based on GI, but it can be when we change our diet to match what is ideal for the human body. For more info about this, please refer to the following resource that presents a great summary about this: www.nature.com/articles/d42473-022-00018-z
So, I'm trying to understand here.... the McDougall starch based diet is perfectly fine for a diabetic? That diabetic insulin response is really 'fueled' by animal products and oils? As a diabetic, if I take out all animal products and added oils my blood sugars will return to normal after the initial insulin response to starches?
Hi Mary. If you would like to learn more about the insulin response to different foods, please look into Dr. McDougall's work in more depth. The mechanism of high fat foods, such as animal foods, causing insulin reistance and other problems is not something unique that Dr. McDougall supports but is a known medical fact today. The problem is that there are 2 ways of understanding diabetes and most conventional doctors and organizations in our society still cling to the old paradigm of "carbs being bad for diabetes" when the truth is quite different. On the contrary, whole food, plant-based diets have been repeatedly shown to heal and reverse metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and diabetes. There are numerous resources where you can learn more about this and make the best choices for your health. I recommend starting with the film "Forks Over Knives" if you have not seen it yet, and their website provides an excellent wealth of information on this: www.forksoverknives.com/
@@Healthytarian thank you. I will totally research mcdougall. I've already, since my comment three weeks ago, taken out all fats, all meats. Eating legumes, fruits, whole grains, veggies.

I sleep better, I'm not bloated, my senses seems more clear, and I don't feel my pain that I usually feel. This lifestyle would be common sense but yet so far from the way we think now.

That is so good to hear! Thanks for sharing her experience.
Your comment is very encouraging. Thank you for sharing.
In 3 weeks I've lost 7 pounds and dropped my A1C from 9.3 to 8.1 by eating a whole food plant based starch diet. I'm so happy this works because it's so easy!
Great job! And thank you for sharing your success here!
That's true ...dr Mcduagull is my food guru..since switching to starch ,I am witnessing huge improvement in my health and in my kids too.gratitude
Nice to hear! Thanks for your comment.

+Nicola Walker Thank you so much for your kind and very meaningful feedback! It is greatly appreciated.
This doctor is 10000% right in EVERYTHING HE SAYS !!! I saw a LOT of my friends dye after being treated by chemicals and operations !! I am almost 70 and in reasonable good health, eating like the doctor is suggesting but, I am almost an exeption between my friends, eating like this.. Most of them drink, eat meats and dont want to listen to anybody else to get a better life, without having cronical diseases!
Thank you for sharing your valuable comment, Magd.
He's an incredible speaker. He changed my life. I am now a "devout vegan".
hyperloke Awesome to hear!
+Healthytarian I liked this guy until he made that GMO comment. I'm curious what your thoughts on that are.
+Dee Zee I always try to feature guests who have a strong alignment to my own work, and whose work can show people a similar, yet alternate angle that they can take with regards to the Healthytarian approach. Though no two paths are identical in their beliefs or ideas. That is what adds the positive, yet often challenging, side of diversity in this world. So as I do in my professional and personal life, I always encourage people to listen with an open mind to another, and simply take only that which resonates with us personally, and leave behind that which doesn't. Form your own foundation of truth.
So with regards to GMOs, I am personally a strong proponent of organic food, or food that is naturally grown and non-GMO. From my research and perspective, there is simply too much risk and harm, not just to our health, but that of our environment, as well as the people who have to work with GMOs, for us to consider growing or eating GMOs. In order to thrive today, we need to be smart about our food choices in light of modern challenges, so it is not just about what food we will eat, but what the quality of that food will be as well that matters.

This is so true. I've been into this way of eating for 8 months now. And the results are amazing. I'm healthy & my body is burning body fat like crazy. I'm labelled thin or very thin by society, "but in a good way" and not looking "dried out".
Excellent to hear, Magda. Best wishes with your health!
Magda what are you eating exactly
@@tiffanyjimenez8104 I'm sticking to wholefoods mainly. And I also noticed that it comes down to the amount of fatty foods you eat (like nuts, avocado, olives). The less fat you consume, the faster you will burn body fat. When you notice that the weight is dropping too fast, you can increase the intake of fatty foods. Hope this helps 😉
You’re goals💗 Love it😊
Great chat. He's the best. I just interviewed him myself. So generous of him!
What a lovely and interesting discussion. I remember before going vegan thinking the only way I could get healthy was trying Atkins. I did it for six months and was so sick I ended up in Icu with my arteries falling apart. No joke! It’s a sick myth that living like that makes you healthy. I’ve been vegan for a while with a whole foods because of Dr McDougall. I hope someday to tell him how he saved my life.
Thank you for sharing your comment and experience. It is great to hear all turned out well for you by finding the most healing approach to our health and wellbeing.
I too have done Atkins many times to drop a quick ten pounds. It does work very well to switch your body into ketosis and use your own fat to fuel your body. However, I too felt awful and my heart would hurt often. I never got checked by a doctor but I knew my arteries were clogging. Atkins works but is not a sustainable lifestyle. I am currently 19 days vegan and feel amazing. No chest pains and tons of energy!!
@@camisnyder3460 please what's your protein substitute, since no meat etc? Also what quantity of foods to eat?
viviane Chukwuka so I love black beans and often use that as a main source however, there are many options that are surprising pact full of protein!! I’m eating raw Whole Foods right now and feel great. Basically I eat all day my full of vegetables and fruits and I just got oatmeal milk and I think it’s delicious!!!
viviane Chukwuka also on Netflix you should watch, “the game changer” it’s full of wonderful information on becoming a vegan.
For dinner I had boiled potatoes and green beans with my favorite herbs. It was delish.
Wonderful meal! Thank you for sharing your comment.
I want to share a story. My health got to the point where I couldn't keep any food down and I was really worried. I was malnourished. Then I went on the potato monocleanse diet. Just white potatoes. And I started to keep all the potatoes down and get my energy and health back. I'm a big believer in potatoes and rice. it's just so nice to be validated in this way because so many voices in the health movements say that potatoes and rice are bad but I have found them to be the best things for my body. I needed this validation to feel peace about what's best for me.
Good for you for listening to your own inner guidance and taking steps to bring your health back. Potatoes, rice (whole unprocessed), and other whole real, unprocessed grains are excellent foods to provide energy and nutrients to the human body. Best wishes for your ongoing health!
@@Healthytarian Thank you very much for your reply and again I feel very grateful for this information. Keep doing what you're doing!
Fat listener here, but quickly slimming because of Dr and Mrs McDougall. Very grateful for their hard work in educating us with facts and simple cooking.

Catt M Great to hear, and thank you for your feedback!
wow thank you so much. my dad told me when I went vegan that humans developed the level of intelligence we have today is due to us starting to eat meat. I'm definitely going to show him this video :) thank you again
Hedvig Borgen You are so very welcome! As for why we evolved as we did....ah, yes, unfortunately there are a lot of theories that people pass around or cling onto that are actually not valid. What we hear sometimes in a news story or some media outlet or even a study may be presenting only one set of facts, or simply presenting one side of the story, and then there is the fact that there is so much we do not understand yet about early people's or how evolution really progressed. Meat may have helped humans survive, but today unfortunately the way we are eating it and the quality of it, is destroying the quality of our health and our lives, not to mention our planet. As for intelligence and evolution, that is a whole other topic...

Hello Evita,
I just found your channel by searching for another McDougall Interview and I must say I really appreciate the effort you put into this and also editing your talk by including external pictures and video footage to emphasize his messages.
You gained a new follower 🌱
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Catherine. It is greatly appreciated :)
Your are indeed a great interviewer. Great guest as well. Thank u.
Yara Kodmous Thank you, I greatly appreciate your kind feedback.
This is excellent information; I especially like his input about the glycemic index. There is so much confusion regarding this. I will watch this video again and again. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful, Emily. Thank you for your valuable comment :)
Thank you John for all your wonderful work and for being the person you are. To go into explaining how you have changed my heath and my families, well I could write a book. I've always been vegetarian and eaten lots of fruit , grains and veg, but giving up the oils,eggs and supplements to a real ,sustainable ,simple ,tasty , satisfying and eco and animal friendly diet. My son is type ! diabetic and is doing fantastic. My daughter had severe period problem, now she is a different person, so happy. Myself, I have so much energy and TIME! life is so much more simple with this knowledge of how to eat . Thank you.
Jane Goodwin What a beautiful comment, thank you so much for sharing this Jane! And so, so good to hear you and your family are enjoying the many positive benefits of plant-based eating.
Finally an MD who has the balls to tell the truth and educated the sheeples. Great Job Dr. McDougall but there still a gap for some improvement in the starch based diet. Awesome interview!
AJ M Thank you for your comment and feedback!
Cami Jones: thanks so much for your early reply. Grateful.
After listening to this entire video. Here’s my thoughts. First Dr. M kept clearing his throat, throughout,much like a smoker. I hope not but this is what I observed. Next, I am 77, many years in the medical field, follow the Keto lifestyle, find I am healthier today than in the past 30 years. I am 4 ft. 11 inches and 97/100 lbs. I will keep searching and may try for 7 days his plan, all these yrs later to see what changes.I NEVER do Facebook, Twitter and such!!!! He too is selling something! I would bet on this! Thanks for sharing. Oh, I hope he’s still on in 2022. I shall see.
Thank you for watching, Jeannie, and for sharing your thoughts.
Regarding Dr. McDougall's throat clearing. That is not something that is unique to smokers but really to anyone today who lives in a high pollution area. The formation of mucus that the body wants to excrete through the nose or throat is just the body's self-cleaning mechanism. So it is impossible to conclude what the reason for a person clearing their throat may be unless you know their health history and lifestyle factors.
Please keep in mind that if you are going to try any "diet plan" or drastically different way of eating, you need to give your body time to adjust to accurately assess the results. 7 days is not enough to fully understand the impacts of a new diet or way of eating and drawing conclusions are only 7 days can lead to many false perceptions. In general, 6 to 8 weeks is what the body needs to fully reflect all of the internal and external changes that a different diet will produce.
Best wishes with your health!
Id like to add that he does give away free info unlike most ppl i see on utube. He doesn't market things like thrive market etc... He seems more genuine then most these days. Just an observation ive made.

Baldur Johannesson Awesome to hear and you are most welcome :)
This was great. I learned a lot. Especially what I most needed to learn! LOVED this!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for sharing your positive feedback.
I started eating potatoes to lose weight, I weighed 185 lbs. After 3 months eating a mostly potato diet I weighed 140 lbs, that's a 25% weight loss. I'm still eating whole potatoes ( skin and all ) with every meal and I have not had the shits since I started eating potatoes, not once !.. I used to have a probe shoved up my arse and polyps removed from my intestines on a regular basis, but since I started eating the starch based diet the "FIT " tests results have come back as normal.
My health has improved no end, I am fit and slim. BEST OF ALL IT"S SO EASY.
PS, I'm not a vegan.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Mick.
Very good interview, as always with Dr McDougall

@@Healthytarian wow! Thanks. The interviewer's name, please.
I've been on the Dr. McDougall plan for a week. I've lost 12 pounds, I'm not hungry, my skin, sinuses, and lungs have cleared. I've had foot pain for over a year now. It's nearly gone. My dandruff has gone away. I have high mental energy and low fatigue. What's really amazing is how quickly my health improved.
Those are some pretty impressive results. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for your feedback! Very much appreciated :)
After listening this video I will definitely try it for 7 days. Thank you Dr.
Thanks for watching, Gaurav. Please note that the body does not heal in 7 days all the years of damage it sustains after years of poor eating and drinking habits. For best results you need to make a significant change for at least 6 to 8 weeks.
This still is amazing in 2022. Thank you

HighCarb Schwabe Thank you, I greatly appreciate your feedback.

Amazing information and the interviewer was awesome!!
Great to hear you enjoyed this video episode, Michelle. Thank you for your nice feedback.
I'm not all the way through the interview (which is fantastic, by the way) so it still may come up; but one thing that I do believe needs to be considered is Glyphosate (round-up). If one is going to start eating a lot of starch we need to be aware to avoid glyphosate. So much of our wheat is literally SATURATED with it. They use it to dry the wheat before they harvest it. I've heard many stories of people who can't eat wheat in the US but they go to Italy and eat pasta and they're fine. Italy isn't dousing everything with Glyphosate.
Most definitely. This is a serious issue and is nothing short of a tragedy what has been done to our food system, and how it impacts our health and environment. The more you can find organic or "safe" sources of food that you know you can trust, the better as it lowers the toxicity inside your body, which is a common cause of many illnesses.
When Jesus taught people to pray he mentioned starch:
"So then, this is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily BREAD" Matt 6:9-11
Jesus uses starch to symbolize Himself:
Jesus said to them, “I am the BREAD of life; whoever comes to me shall NOT HUNGER, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." John 6:35
And in the Old Testament when the Isreaites were in the wilderness with nothing to eat, what food did God Himself choose to sustain them for 40 years?
"Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Behold, I will rain BREAD from heaven for you; Ex 16:4

I have been on the starch diet for a few weeks and went from 180lbs to 187lbs.
For me maybe a calorie is still a calorie.
+Thomas Marabella It all depends on what you are eating. If the starches are refined carbohydrates, and/or if the diet lacks fruits and vegetables, or still has a high amount of animal products, it is not going to go very far.
So I should eat mostly starch, vegetables and fruit, and meat and animal products a few times a week? The body should be used to infrequent animal product consumption if it’s always been there to some amount, right? So just not eat it in excess?
The research for the most healing and prevention shows that no animal products are the most ideal way to go. *Just because our body can digest something does not mean that those items are good for it.* All animal products cause inflammation, toxicity, and acidity - some are just worse than others. Humans have depended on them in the past as a matter of survival and today overindulgence in these products has created the modern lifestyle diseases and weight problems that we have.
So how much of any animal products that you choose to include is up to you and will depend on your readiness and health priorities. However, for the highest health benefits and lowest disease risk and weight problems, not eating any animal products is the answer.
Diest made of whole plant foods, namely fruits, vegetables, legumes/beans, grains, and nuts/seeds are the way to go.
If you wish to learn more about this, aside from Dr. McDougall's work, Dr. Michael Greger provides and explains all of the science behind it: nutritionfacts.org/
@@Healthytarian OK, thanks! I just thought that humans might have adapted to some of it, like the people further north tolerate milk far better than other people. If I understood it correctly the only reliable source of B12 in nature is from animal products, so it would make sense evolutionary that the thing that you need wouldn't kill you. Then again I don't know how much animal product is needed for that. Or how many animals people actually ate some tens of thousands of years ago. Great video BTW!
@@p0p4 Thanks so much for the feedback about the video! The key is *not to mistaken or confuse the ability to digest something with it being good for us.* We are able to digest many things that are not good for us. Think of all of the processed and refined foods that humans have adapted to eat, most of which are extremely unhealthy for us.
As for vitamin B12, its original and natural source is from bacteria in the environment, found in soil, water, and on all-natural food. The animals eat right from the Earth and receive this bacteria most naturally. Then people eat the animals and think they are getting the B12 from the animals, but the animals are a secondary source - "the middle man" so to speak.
Unfortunately, it is very hard for most humans to eat naturally, right from the Earth today, given our excessive and extreme sanitization practices and unnatural food practices, hence in the modern world a B12 supplement is the wisest thing. Because it would make no sense to eat the animal food for the B12 just to get one benefit, while at the same time getting numerous harmful effects on our health.
Doc you are dam right. In Africa the basic type of food that is eaten is starch. It has been so foe eons until the last fourty years when Western life style intervained. I am surprised that studies do not mention this fact but it is there to see even today. Thank you for the truth that you have work hard to share.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about this topic!
I'm trying to find somewhere on the internet the statement or the policy of the American Cancer society that he mentions which refers to a plant-based diet or a starch-based diet being recommended. Is there a link to that somewhere? I'd like to see that and refer to it and be able to tell others about it.
The ACS has many online references to the benefits and recommendations of eating whole plant foods, especially fruits and vegetables. The whole basis for the most cancer-healthy diet is plant-based, and this is a fundamental fact shared by all healthcare professionals and medical institutions. No one in their right mind is going to tell their patients to eat more animal foods to prevent or heal cancer. Unfortunately, many organizations, including the ACS are funded by various animal food industries and processed food industries, so they are never going to use language as strong as is needed to make people understand that only whole plant foods and no animal foods are the way to go. Watch the film "Hungry for Change" and "Cowspiracy" on Netflix to understand this better and see how these organizations are not trustworthy or good sources for the best health and nutrition info, and why.
Either way, the present stance of the ACS is as follows "Eat a healthy diet, with an emphasis on plant foods." See here, just scroll down past the physical activity content: www.cancer.org/healthy/eat-healthy-get-active/acs-guidelines-nutrition-physical-activity-cancer-prevention/guidelines.html
Also, scroll through this Q&A from the ACS, which further address various whole plant foods, animal foods, and plant diets, and how they influence cancer risk and healing: www.cancer.org/healthy/eat-healthy-get-active/acs-guidelines-nutrition-physical-activity-cancer-prevention/common-questions.html
good for you coming up with a heavy hitter, this seems more appropriate for your kind of development level.
I'm a vegan of retirement age, and I've friends who are a little older than me who eat a 'wholesome' diet inclusive of meat. I regularly cycle 60 miles a day, and take no medications. My friends have Type2, obesity, thyroid issues and take handfuls of medications each day. Nomatter how I try to persuade them to change, they insist they're fine....go figure!
60 miles a day! Wow! That's gotta factor into your health too. Amazing!
Thank you for sharing about your health success with a plant diet. Indeed, many people would rather keep certain foods and habits at the cost of their health, rather than change those foods and habits to improve their quality of health and life. Sadly, whatever one normalizes or gets used to tends to be tolerated even when it creates direct pain and suffering. Best wishes with your continued great health though!!!
@@Healthytarian you are totally right! Especially sugary things, processed foods, and alcohol!
Nice video. Good info.
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Dr. McDougall emphasizes on all his records that we have to avoid animal products and vegetable oil. I am totally confuse with the oil. Does that mean we have to cook without any oil or there are some oils we could use for cooking and salad dressing. I appreciate if you would explain more.
Correct, it means to cook without any oil. All oil is an extract of the whole food, which means that we are missing vital nutrients and helpful parts of the whole food, and getting things that are not only out of balance (i.e. pure fat) but a compound that is overall unstable. Most oil, aside from coconut oil, is made of unsaturated fats in various poly and mono ratios. Unsaturated fat is very sensitive to heat, light and oxygen, which means it can oxidize and go rancid and create free radicals that cause us harm and inflammation very easily. This, in addition to the unnatural substance that it is (does not naturally exist in nature) and high caloric value equates to health problems. This is why many oils are refined, which is the worst of the worst where oils go, and if we look at unrefined extra virgin olive oil for example, which many consider "the healthy oil", no one who understands what I just shared above ever recommends cooking with it, as not only does it degrade any nutritional potential it had within minutes, but it also creates harmful compounds, like all oils which are heated. The higher the temperature and the longer the cooking time, the more destructive the oil becomes.
So for practical points, both concepts: cooking with oil and salad dressings based on oil are completely culturally driven, and for the most part quite a modern fad. It is actually very easy to cook without oil. Most plant foods create their own juices, while others only require a thin layer of water. As for salads, the best dressings are simple lemon juice squeezed in alone with some favorite herbs and spices. For more tips on amazing salads without oil, please see my 5-step to amazing salads video here on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/H3_ZQnKLADU/видео.html
Ultimately, the more we step out of the mainstream conditioning when it comes to food (and most other things) the more we start doing what is actually best for us on a mind, body and spirit level, rather than what sabotages our health and wellbeing.
Is the blood-type diet valid?
No, not for many reasons. To better understand why, I recommend this video from Dr. Pam Popper: ruclips.net/video/eEobvaUOzao/видео.html
Thanks for this interview. I’ll give this diet a chance. You are very cute 🥰

When was this interview conducted?
When the video was newly uploaded, as per the date, in March 2015.
At the Last Supper, which food did Jesus give the preeminence to? It was starch:
"Now as they were eating, Jesus took BREAD, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples" Matt 26:26
Thank you for sharing.
Of the 3 which is the worst: meats, diary or oils?
That is a tough one because all three are not good for the human body and carry their own risks. The worst would be a choice between the meat and dairy (not oil) because they have much more risks that impact the whole body in negative ways, whereas oil's negative risks are much more narrowly focused. Meat and dairy negatively impact literally all parts of the body and organs, raising risks of ALL diseases.
The right thing is not to choose between them and think that you would be doing something good, but the right thing is to minimize or avoid the use of ALL of such foods in one's diet if health is your priority.
So what to do with glycemic of the carbohydrates? A diabetic person would have his sugar high with such carbohydrates intake
The Glycemic Index is an outdated and highly flawed tool due to the fact that it considers foods only in isolation, when in practice most people mix several foods together as part of a meal, which changes the way the food is digested and the sugars are utilized. It is a tool based on reductionism that favors the parts over the whole. And that is just not how life, our food, or our body works. Nothing is in isolation, everything is interconnected.
Also, it has other problems in how it rates and assesses the value of a food. It rates many junk foods as better from a GI view than healthy and wholesome foods. This should be a red flag to anyone looking at this tool right away.
Finally, diabetes type 2 is a highly reversible and healable condition created from bad eating habits to begin with. Diabetes won't be cured by eating based on GI, but it can be when we change our diet to match what is ideal for the human body.
For more info about this, please refer to the following resource that presents a great summary about this: www.nature.com/articles/d42473-022-00018-z
The fastest a on earth consistently eats yams and other tubers also other starches (usain bolt)
Thanks for sharing, John.
So, I'm trying to understand here.... the McDougall starch based diet is perfectly fine for a diabetic? That diabetic insulin response is really 'fueled' by animal products and oils? As a diabetic, if I take out all animal products and added oils my blood sugars will return to normal after the initial insulin response to starches?
Hi Mary. If you would like to learn more about the insulin response to different foods, please look into Dr. McDougall's work in more depth. The mechanism of high fat foods, such as animal foods, causing insulin reistance and other problems is not something unique that Dr. McDougall supports but is a known medical fact today. The problem is that there are 2 ways of understanding diabetes and most conventional doctors and organizations in our society still cling to the old paradigm of "carbs being bad for diabetes" when the truth is quite different.
On the contrary, whole food, plant-based diets have been repeatedly shown to heal and reverse metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and diabetes. There are numerous resources where you can learn more about this and make the best choices for your health.
I recommend starting with the film "Forks Over Knives" if you have not seen it yet, and their website provides an excellent wealth of information on this: www.forksoverknives.com/
@@Healthytarian thank you. I will totally research mcdougall. I've already, since my comment three weeks ago, taken out all fats, all meats. Eating legumes, fruits, whole grains, veggies.
I'm quite surprised my morning fasting is no different! Still on the high side...120... But sure not 200 l Iike I thought I'd be!
