What Causes Type 2 Diabetes | Debunking the Keto Diet | Dr John McDougall | Mastering Diabetes

- What causes type 2 diabetes? And why do you need to hear a debunking of the Keto diet? If you're living with type 2 diabetes and have been eating low-carb diets to help eliminate large spikes in blood sugar hoping to reduce the need for insulin, you would want to hear this.
Here's a conversation between Dr John McDougall and Mastering Diabetes for a straightforward answer as to what causes type 2 diabetes. As it turns out, buildup of toxic fat is the culprit. But how does too much body fat get someone there?
And somehow discussing fat as the culprit always leads to discussing how people choose their diets. Take Keto for example. People are so drawn to the Ketogenic diet because it allows the body to maintain glucose levels at a low but level. But Dr McDougall shows which part of the diet is problematic and more lies about the bad food people are taking in.
Here's the conversation:
- How too much body fat causes type 2 diabetes
- Human civilization throughout history has been powered by starch
- The problem with Keto diet
- The problem with dietary guidelines for Americans
John McDougall, MD, is a physician, speaker, and best-selling author who teaches the importance of a whole food, starch-based diet in order to halt, reverse and heal chronic disease.
Dr. McDougall is co-founder of the McDougall Program alongside his wife, Mary McDougall - the original whole-food plant-based vegan and creator of thousands of low fat, oil-free, vegan recipes.
The McDougall Program is a leading medical program that heals chronic illness through professional medical care, world-class education, and ongoing support for people transitioning to a starch-based lifestyle.

I became type 2 and I am not, nor ever have been fat. I’m 5 foot 4 and weigh between 110 and 115 pounds. But my fat consumption has always been high. Mostly potato chips etc. not cheese not animal products. But over time I gave up all those bad things and now I’m off meds.
Too fat for your own body not necessarily fat compared to others
People's notion of what being "fat" these days is warped. Almost everyone these days weigh significantly more than people did 75 or so years ago. If you have type 2 diabetes you are by definition "fat". But not everyone gets diabetes are the same level of 'fatness" because of genetic reasons.
your body organs can be dripping in fat even at that weight.
Too fat for your own body plus visceral fat which surrounds your organs. The deadliest type.
Im 5'7 and weigh 130. I think I'm diabetic and grew up loving potato chips and cola as the go to snack on most busy days and the frequent fast food
My understanding is that we can do keto or starch diet. But we can’t do keto and starch diet together. To me, starch diet can last forever, but not keto. So i choose starch diet
Exactly...I always fell off the wagon on keto because I wanted carbs. The body wants carbs
While I recognize that most people who suffer from T2D are overweight, you don’t have to be overweight in order to get T2D. You only need to exceed your own body’s fat threshold.
That's the definition of being overweight
@@trotskyite1 No, you can have a normal BMI, but your muscle and liver cell have too much stored fat, causing insulin resistance.
@@megavegan5791 my dad is like this. Was skinny but type 2.
Im t2...started at gestational...but otherwise never over 20 extra pounds at my heaviest. Keto took my from 162 to 142 and a1c in the 5s. Now im starting wfbp andy sugar is not controlled....im going to try to give it time...but its scary
Yes you do. It is impossible to get type 2 diabetes if your are fit. If you are fit you will never get fat in your liver and muscles. That is what causes insulin resistance and leads to diabetes. But not everyone will get type 2 diabetes at the same level of "fatness". it varies according to genetics.
Done keto, and carnivore but just felt better on plant based also able to maintain it longer. We had to do what feels best for us. In 20 years we will see the effects of keto on a population. I hope you guys are wrong. The hospital system is already over worked.
There is so much truth in the plant based starch based diets. My taste buds completely changed.
After awhile you do NOT get steady glucose readings on Keto--after 7 years it ruined my health totally.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
OMG SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!! After 3 years on Keto, I decided to go off of it (felt terrible) and now my blood sugars are all over the place. I WOULD NOT RECCOMMEND Keto to anyone!!
Same here, after 2-3 years. Did you develop diabetes ?
@@arroyobaby38 Same here^^ Did it improve with time ?
Yes, you have to keep saturated fats very low and then you will be able to eat the complex carbohydrates. No animal products. All the things these mastering diabetes folks teach.
Keto works bc you eat very little carb, so your A1C looks good. As soon as they eat a fruit or starch, their glucose flies up
...And simple fix, don't eat carbs. If you have a peanut allergy don't eat peanuts.
@@roywalker7512 - Right! And if you're allergic to work, don't work!
@@roywalker7512 I wish you the best. I couldn’t do it, I love animals too much, and I refuse to financially support the industry that abuses them.
@@undergrace1808grow up.
Nuts are also a source of fat
Thats not true. I’m 5’2” and weigh 100lbs very thin and DEFINTIELY not skinny fat. I was A VEGAN for 8 years and notice that my blood sugars were going high. I went KETO and my blood sugars normalized but after being on it for 3 years I felt TERRIBLE. Now I’m off KETO eating healthier carbs and my blood sugars are ALL OVER THE PLACE!!
The fat you ate on KETO ruined your insulin receptors. Stick to a low fat, high-complex carb diet and your sugars will eventually normalize after 6 months to a year. Stay away from processed foods like sugar and and flour.
👍🏻my father in law is a diabetic and he is not fat
You do know there's type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes right??????
@@seekunderstanding4280 yes, he is type 2
@@seekunderstanding4280 I'm not a fan of keto but who knows what the truth is- I'm hoping that my Zone Diet (Barry Sears) is healthy- I'm 5 foot 10 and a half - weighed 220 pounds and now 194- now reached a bit of a plateau- im not fit and 42 years old however- hopefully the last 15 pounds or so comes off with more exercise
This doesn't seem to address the fact that "way back when", when people were living off of starch, they were active and burning it all off. Today, people don't move, they sit around, they work at a computer etc.. so starch today can't really be compared to starch in the past when our lives are vastly different.
maybe people are less active, because they eat less starch
Didn't think Dr. McDougall actually answered the questions though I love him. Thx for the interview.
He's done 2 or 3 lectures tgat are very detailed. I with Chef AJ. Hope tgat helps.
Yeah, he needed to answer why people get results on the keto diet.
FAT
@@lenblack1462 Results are temporary, fail to address insulin resistance, and cause an array of other metabolic diseases including cancer. Keto is anti-thetical to the best available scientific evidence. Fat destroys insulin receptors period. Low fat, high-complex diet is best for disease prevention. That's the science.
@@lenblack1462 because they are on ketosys...
Anytime that anybodys done studies on people that eat nothing but fat and meat as their diet theyve typically found low rates of heart disease and diabetes
How about the Eskimos? Search McDougal and Eskimos and it will present you the reality.
Well said!!
I like Dr. McDougal's soups, but have to ask why so much sodium? I choose the lower sodium versions, but they seem to be much higher sodium than necessary. It would be interesting to know why Dr. McDougal adds so much sodium to really good soups when salt is one thing that can be added if necessary.
Very good programs.
It won't sell without salt. He has to add something appealing so people will try it, and salt is the least detrimental. I'm pretty that was his answer in an interview.
@@JD-59 Since you seem to be validly trying to respond to my question, let me explain. 1st and formost, I am not trying to get into a fight with you. While sales are a valid point for the all corporations bottom line, "people won't eat it" is a poor answer from a doctor trying to help people with T2D and the long term associated health problems.
It is always good to re-evaluate a product and it seems good to pose to a test group if lowering the sodium content would truly dissuade sales. While extremely low sodium can hurt someone, most of us don't really know our daily intake of sodium is higher than we would expect.
I noticed many of the people who commented said he really didn't answer the questions.
@@SP-fy4fx True. He could run it through a taste test with groups of people to try and establish an ideal sodium level for palatability. Dr. M seems to have a message that doesn't change much. So he often sound like he is repeating himself when he is being interviewed. Also Dr. M seems to me to be a "big picture " guy and doesn't focus too much on the small details like Cyrus might (e.g. intramyocellullar lipid in the inner surface of cells causing dysfunction to insulin signaling cascade). It would have been nice if he answered their specific questions. Maybe he is a broken record, but his message is a helpful one in the big picture. (But he does still read newly published research).
He doesn't own the soups and when they lowered the salt nobody bought them. Nobody died from 1 McDougall soup in their diet so it doesn't matter. Don't focus on the small beer
Salt will increase your blood pressure but it is not really the "cause" of high blood pressure. Similar to sugar raising your blood sugar levels but is not really directly the "cause" of diabetes.
This is balogna how do you explain skinny type 2 diabetics our metabolism is not much different than our hunter gatherer ancesters. We were never meant to consume the amount of carbohydrates that are available today and certainly not meant to produce the amount of insulin thats required by this over consumption of these carbs
What do you say to someone diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes who is not fat? Do you focus on fat intake?
Even if you're at a "healthy BMI" you can still be "overfat". I doubt the Mastering Diabetes plan would change very much. You still should be eating low fat high carb whole foods
You can still have diabetes type 2 if the fat stays in your muscle or liver cells. Irrespective of the weight, people can still have diabetes type 2.
You may not have too much subcutaneous fat, but you likely have excess visceral fat, and high triglycerides and that makes you insulin resistant, hence diabetic.
I think their advice still applies.
@@mattzilla331 Are you referring to being "TOFI" (Thin Outside, Fat Inside)?
@@karimaogden3875 i never heard it put that way before but yes. I always heard it described as "skinny fat"
In your opinion, which of these two diets is healthier?
1. A whole foods plant based diet, but about 5% of the diet is fish or lean poultry, and the diet is 5-15% calories from total fat and 1-3% calories from saturated fat, or 2. A whole foods 100% vegan diet, but 30-60% of the calories come from fat?
dj121: Dr. Michael Greger has a great book How Not To Die. Good advice. My husband went vegan 4 years ago, it is not an easy diet. I don't think many healthy diets recommend 60% calories from fat though. And while McDougall's website recommends margarine, it is all processed chemicals.
Both Greger and Dr. Joel Furhman have been on Mastering Diabetes seminars. You might want to join some Facebook vegan groups as many have good advice (which is not necessarily me).
Number 1. Fat is fat. it doesn't matter if it comes from a plant although plants tend to have less saturated fat they still have some. Palm oil and coconut oil are almost all saturated fat.
@@donwinston I agree
Or increase fibre. Hardcore Veganism hates fibre like it hates meat and this drove me from it. Bread? Bad. Fruit? Bad. Vegetables that have fibre? Very bad.
So a non fibre diet and constipation or limit your meat? Sorry I had to tell you that but truth.
😙👌 Low carbohydrate diet lowered my blood sugar. Moderate fat and protein.
Type 2 Diabetics that are not Fat should get a Digital Scale that will show them how much percentage of Body Fat they have vs their Total Weight and it'll also show them the Visceral Fat that contributes to type 2 Diabetes too.
Id be curious to find out the rates of type 2 diabetes between these 2 populations of people that he describes at the end the eskimo inuits that eat nothing but fat and the other 70 percent that eat nothing but starch
I am definitely not fat and I suspect I am diabetic. I haven't been tested yet but will have to soon. I'm underweight. It's definitely possible to be diabetic and skinny
So true. I was prediabetic and went to a Diabetes class at my hospital..one of the women there was a tall thin woman and she was shocked that she tested as prediabetes.
Albert Kammo - Many people in India are skinny but have type 2 diabetes...
In one of DrMcDougall video ( I listen to so many!), he said that skinny people who have diabetes have type 1.5 type diabetes as he calls it, and he put them on low insuline.
All plant-based food, still over weight. Whole grains, vegetable, beans, still heavy. Why isn't it working easily for me?
Me too. But I'm also in menopause. I've gained 15 lbs over the last 3 years since I went from low carb to low fat whole plants. I don't want to go back to low carb but I also want to get back into my clothes. It's frustrating.
You might want to try to listen more to your body to know exactly when you are hungry. Try and eat one meal a day if you can. Skip breakfast if you are not really hungry in the morning. Try to stop eating at 6pm. Be patience with yourself. Whole food plant based lifestyle does work.
Calories in vs calories out still matters. Up the vegetables to dilute the calories and exercise more. Walking doesn't count. It needs to be intense. Get the heart rate up and do some strength training. If the last few reps aren't hard then you're not lifting hard enough.
@@VeganMatrix I did that and still gained 15 pounds. 🤪😫
Me too! 15 pounds heavier now.
If being over weight causes type2 diabetes, then any dietary, intervention should surely be a good idea.
Starch is the best
What about the German studies from the seventies that showed gluten triggers diabetes?
Corn is not a healthy good these days. Mostly gmo
Most vegetables are GMO, it's called domesticated
They do sell organic corn where I live.
the cooked starch diet has incredibly aged mcdougall. is this from glycation?
If the message is really as simple as you can fix diabetes by reducing body fat by elimination of food poisons of animal foods and oils, then why does McDougall and you guys caution against consuming too much white sugar even though it was even said in this video that white sugar boosts insulin sensitivity?
Your simple message becomes clouded when you both praise white sugar for insulin sensitivity but caution its consumption.
Why not add tablespoons of white sugar to cereal, pastas, fruits and smoothies to enhance their sweetness?
They are not promoting or encouraging the consumption of white sugar. They are trying to emphasize the point that sugar is not the demon when it comes to T2D. It’s the over-consumption of calories with too much saturated fat that causes T2D. Pure sugar over-consumption presents its own set of problems.
@@megavegan5791 he said white sugar increases insulin sensitivity. How much promotion do you expect?🤣
@@kulata You're missing the point. MegaVegan is right.
@@kulata If you were to drastically decrease your saturated fat intake, you would see increased insulin sensitivity, even if you keep your pure sugar consumption the same. Again, the point is sugar is not the demon. They’re NOT saying ‘eat pure sugar to increase insulin sensitivity’.
These two “drs” are criminals in my opinion.
What about Inuit who eat 100% fatty meat? No diabetes and no other chronic disease. This “doctor” is full of it
They die about 11 years before non-Inuits do. And it’s a myth that they don’t suffer from chronic diseases.
“The overcrowding on the one hand disrupts the social life of the people, and on the other hand is a recipe for chronic diseases to develop, like respiratory problems in babies,” said Simon.
Other health problems such as diabetes and tuberculosis are more prevalent among Inuit than in the rest of the country.”
From the article “Inuit lifespan stagnates while Canada's rises” (Reuters, 1/23/08 by Jonathan Spicer)
You’re full of it.
@@morrisadams1471 From what i understand, the chronic diseases and shortened lifespan of Inuits, just like Australian First Nations people and Māoris in New Zealand, is due to adopting western food and lifestyle, being forced into poverty, and exposure to diseases such as TB
I wish more people understood this. It’s not meat causing a reduced life span 🤦🏼♀️
STARCH! I LOVEIT
Thank you!
This man is clueless to say the least
No you are clueless. Let's hear you interviewed. That would be a joke for sure
Carbohydrates, including "refined" sugar do NOT "cause" diabetes! That's a fact.
I eat white rice daily...would that cause diabetes? I hear its Linked to it...
At Mastering Diabetes, we believe the public deserves to know the truth about high carb foods and their role in reversing insulin resistance, backed by more than 85 years of scientific evidence.
Eating too much food regardless of type combined with not fasting at all leads to diabetes and other ailments. In the not so distant past getting enough food was a struggle fasting happened naturally. In the Bible where Jesus instructs us how to fast notice he says "when you fast" clearly implying we should be not "if you fast" the body does self repair when you fast that doesn't really happen much when you are actively eating.
KETO scary word
Wish this were true but it’s not. I’m not fat… if anything I’m too skinny and I’m not skinny fat either.
When science is replaced with plant based tribalism then you get the nonsense that this guy is spewing. Never heard a bunch of pseudo science crap in my life
Said so simply by someone who never struggled with his weight!!
Not true. I believe he uses to be about 40 pounds overweight
Yes he was hefty at one time many years ago but his diet has kept him slim
Fyi...the man has struggled more than you know...he had a stroke as a teenager.
One more reason to listen to him
Yeah well that's not exactly true! Wild meat is very good for you! It has zero cholesterol and it doesn't work that way in the body! Especially bison!
