What a treat to watch and listen to Dr McDougall for 3 hours. Absolutely love it. He's so generous with his time and knowledge. To give away a book for free, wow it's amazing. Love it Chef AJ
What a wonderful show--packed with so much helpful information! Especially useful to me was the segment about whether to be concerned about cholesterol over 150 when eating a healthy, oil-free, plant-exclusive diet. It's comforting to know that Mary McDougall is not at all concerned about having cholesterol over 150. Thank you soooooo much, Chef AJ, Dr. McDougall, and Mary McDougall!
Durrell you’re story about stumbling on mcdougalls diet, listening 24/7 to his resources and the thanking him ( and chef AJ who opened the door for me ) for saving our health is the same journey I have been in now since mid 2022 . Likely undiagnosed diabetes in my case wasn’t obese but overweight.Many advice from similar educators but always return to mcDougall. Chef AJ mcdougalls you are my family.❤
Thank you for the extended interview. So interesting! Loved the personal stories thrown in throughout the interview. Thank you for asking the vaccine question. I have been waiting to hear Dr. Mcdougal's take on it. I trust him to tell the truth. You did it again Chef AJ!! Another spectacular interview.
I’ve been on a whole food plant based diet for six years, normal weight, low cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. I am fully vaccinated as well as the booster. Got Covid twice since February but no symptoms at all. I only knew because I get tested every two weeks at work. But so thankful I had the vaccine
Thank you for such a wonderful, humbling talk! I appreciate everything you are doing for the improvement of our deteriorating health. I love the term over-nutrition, as it encompasses an immigrant’s journey from an impoverished country to fast food nation. I am motivated to draft a quick and easy Recipe Guide focused on Bangladeshi Cuisine 🇧🇩 We need awareness of Whole Foods Plant Based eating in the community with our increasing prevalence of Metabolic, Cardiovascular, and Oncologic diseases.
I'm re watching this again today and this guy sounds like me full of enthusiasm regarding the starch solution. It really works. This guy and l are true believers on what Dr. M. teaches.
And thank you so much for the free ebook to dr.mcdougall!! That's so awesome! Guys, you have to check it out, just apply the code awesome as aj wrote in the description above!
I see veganism in the same way that I see any social injustice. I’m very passionate about animals and their suffering. I also feel very passionate about the BLM movement - I see neither of these as a religion. Just my view, I have nothing but respect and gratitude for everything the wonderful Dr does 🙌🏼
Dr. McDougall, you're a hero of so many people. You have nothing to regret. Even if all the thousands you have saved are still eating one turkey a year, they are far more significant to animal welfare and the planet than the religiously active vegans who alienate thousands of people a year by antagonism. They should be ashamed - not you!
Loved his (Darell?) story! Where can we follow him on social media! Very inspiring and motivational! Congratulations for being so pro-active for his own health with Dr. McDougall's Starch Solution! Thanks Chef AJ!
Durrell and his story - what a great speaker! I hope he does have the time and opportunity to do some speaking at the V.A., his church - if he goes. Seeing and listening to real people like "ourselves" is powerful. A thumbs up for the video just for the intro alone.
Thank you for asking about K2. Now I know it gets converted from K 1 in the gut I’m feeling better about not taking it in vitamin form. You’ve given me peace of mind, many thanks to you all. Btw, AJ you look very elegant today!
I just finished watching the end, thank you for asking and answering my question!!! You really did save the best for last Chef AJ 😃 The good doctor is correct, I have had high cholesterol since I was a teen. I love the Starch Solution ❤️
I ditto the comment "I love you all!" Endless THANK YOU's. I listen to every word, and know my life's direction is changed because of your generous work. I am forever grateful!
I adopted a plant based diet 5 years ago and 2 years later my partner hopped on and he doesn’t eat as much Whole Foods as I do he eats allot of processed foods but he still changed his blood work so much his doctor took on a plant based diet 😁😘
So grateful to Dr McDougall for all he has done and STILL does to help us! It’s beyond amazing that he is spending so much time putting together his material and science based data to teach us this critical information. We are so fortunate to be able to plug into this webinar to continue to learn how to live a healthier life, free from avoidable diseases. Also, thank you so much Chef AJ for your channel and ALL that you to to help the world 🌍
Your such an amazing people and have a very colorful in life.We are blessed to have you Dr. McDougall for such a humble, kind in sharing your expertise. I just want to know if there is a way to reverse a thyroid nodule? Thank you chef AJ for your wonderful interview with Dr. John and Mary McDougall.
Brought me to tears!!! I love you, Dr. McDougall, and thank you to this former patient for sharing. Another comment about Durell's weight - if he weight-trains, muscles are heavier and he will weigh more than someone who does not. The best I ever looked in my life I weighed much more than I do now and it was all gorgeous young-woman muscle. : }
My next grocery haul will be potatoes, rice and corn. l believe l can do this. ln 67 and never having heard of the Mcdougall's lm a firm believer on not talking supplements. Meat products l haven't eaten in a long time....only because l can't afford. l maybe on the right track. And who doesn't like bread
Love listening to the 2 of them. Thank you Dr. McDougall. I did email your daughter 3 years ago trying to get information on Lyme and the Alfa gal allergy. Your daughter sent a few sites to read,. Do you have anything new that you may share to help?
A good topic for Dr.McDougall to speak on is how numbers prevail over real results in the global healthcare system. He touched on it a bit here: a low cholesterol, which can be done with statins, won't keep you from suffering the effects of your bad habits. I would structure such a lecture like this: provide examples of what a person can do (for example eat fat), while sustaining the numbers on a "normal" level (by taking insulin or statins etc.); what that person can suffer from while taking or not taking these drugs; and what that person could do instead (eat starch) to get better; plus which numbers may still be "bad" in spite of the health being good.
Just fyi the 80-10-10 diet, (See the book by Dr Doug Graham) is raw food and is low 10% fat. They have large volumes of whole fruit for the starch. Banana for example and in season local fruits and vegetables. So it's really good especially if you live where there are lots of fruit and vegetables grown in your area. I did this for two months and I was not hungry if you follow it and consume the volume and specific fruits and veggies you're supposed to, it works fine. I love Dr MacDougall. And the starch solution is wonderful. In my opinion there's no reason for the disparaging of raw vegans.
I have not listened to the show yet. I just scanned the comments before listening and intend to listen tomorrow. However, here is my take on a raw food diet. Produce is quite expensive compared to starches. So unless a person has money and/or a huge garden with lots of fruit trees and lives in a tropical climate, this kind of diet would not be possible for many people. It also makes a person even more outside the mainstream than a cooked vegan diet and as social animals, this is something that would be hard for many people. Overall, I feel that is difficult to maintain and very few people can maintain it long term. On a personal note, I ate a raw food diet myself for 4 years. (It was the high fat kind of raw diet, which I now think is not healthy. ) I don’t know how I managed to last that long! I guess I managed because I participated in a local raw community and I knew a couple who I paid to make me raw meals occasionally. And I had access to a raw restaurant. I went to the Portland. Raw Food Festival for several years which was happening at the time. So I somehow managed to last that long. However, just about everyone I knew who was raw is no longer raw. There is only one person who lasted for a long time but I have not been in touch with her for years so don’t know what she eats now. Sadly, most of those people are not vegan anymore either. I was vegan long before I got into raw and am committed to animals, but most were just trying raw for health reasons and then went back to eating animals. I am vegan for life. ( I am very passionate about not harming animals.) I have been vegetarian for more than 40 years and vegan for more than 30 years. But I could never maintain a raw diet for that long. I now eat an oil free starch solution diet and even eating what most people would consider to be a restrictive diet, the starch solution is so much easier for me than a raw food diet. I can easily maintain it for the rest of my life. Overall, I think that raw is too difficult, too expensive for many people, and not practical. And more animals will be harmed because few people will even try it, let alone do it for the rest of their lives.
@@CHEFAJ I love dr graham's approach. I did see him on your channel. Dr Graham's approach made my typically starch solution diet more flexible because if I was on the road I knew I could just eat a bunch of bananas for breakfast, feel full, and not worry about not being able to cook oatmeal. Or I can eat a ton of grape tomatoes and some pears or blueberry and carrots and a box of salad greens for lunch and not worry about not being able to find a place to cook a potato on a road trip (tho I have done that! I have road tripped with plain gold potatoes and microwaved them, and lived to tell the tale!). Dr Graham's advice is also very in line with people who are volume-eaters and have success with starch solution. Most people fail because they don't eat enough volume. 80-10-10 is about Simplicity and abundance. I don't own a dehydrator lol. When I did 80-10-10, I ate giant salads and people, it was easy to socialize and eat my salad and it was easy to get a ton of in season fruit from the farmers market or grocery and it wasn't super expensive. Just like w.f.p.b sos free, starch solution is easy and can be done inexpensively on a budget. So what I am saying is the raw vegan approach just made me more resilient and committed to a w.f.p.b. lifestyle. (And the reason I wrote the comment here is the always brilliant Dr McDougall is incorrect about a raw diet needing to be high fat.) ☮️🥦
@@jgrysiak6566 and I'm not trying to start anything but that's not true. Lots of raw vegans are long term raw vegans. It helps to read 80-10-10 and follow it. Otherwise you don't eat enough volume to sustain.
Thank you Dr John and Mary my husband is diagnosed with type 2 diebetic and he is on medication we want to join your team but he is an African man eating African diet most of the time he is a Nigerian and he is not so keen with English diet, is there any chance that he can be off meds and reverse the diebetis please advise. Thanks London

Sorry..but many raw fooders eat low fat...lots of fruits and greens and they thrive. I respect Dr. M enormously...but he hasn't really done a deep dive into raw food eating...because he never needed to...but he can't speak authoritatively about raw food.
So happy I found this diet. Food is simple and delicious. I could listen to this man talk for hours.
Thank you to Durrell for sharing his story! I would love to follow his progress! It amazes me that so many people owe their health to Dr. McDougall!😍
AGREE! What a great testimonial! I send people things like this, saying THIS COULD BE YOU TOO!
I just love it when Dr. McDougall gets fired up. It makes me giggle…with all due respect ,of course😆
What a treat to watch and listen to Dr McDougall for 3 hours. Absolutely love it. He's so generous with his time and knowledge. To give away a book for free, wow it's amazing. Love it Chef AJ
Glad you enjoyed it!
Went on his website. Couldn't download it on my smartfone
Dr. M is WONDERFUL! He is a true physician.
What a wonderful show--packed with so much helpful information! Especially useful to me was the segment about whether to be concerned about cholesterol over 150 when eating a healthy, oil-free, plant-exclusive diet. It's comforting to know that Mary McDougall is not at all concerned about having cholesterol over 150. Thank you soooooo much, Chef AJ, Dr. McDougall, and Mary McDougall!
Dr. Esselstyn says the cholesterol count is just a number also!

I always learn so much from this guy and what a wonderful success story!!!
I’ve been on a whole food plant based diet for six years, normal weight, low cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. I am fully vaccinated as well as the booster. Got Covid twice since February but no symptoms at all. I only knew because I get tested every two weeks at work. But so thankful I had the vaccine
AMAZING! Go Dr. McDougal! Such wisdom!
Thank you AJ! You are much appreciated! You look beautiful!🙏💖🙏
Thanks!
Thank you so much for all the information and support for taking excellent care of ourselves. Really appreciate your wisdom and energy ❤️🌹
You look lovely chef AJ!! Your light shines so bright 💡
Thank you!
Anyone else feeling like when he shows pictures of meat, you don’t even see that as food?
Want to get to that place.

Great video, thank you! I went to the link for the free book and it shows it for 9.99 up until checkout. So, I'm not sure how to get it for free.

Dr. Graham has been on the show twice and I love his low-fat SOS-free approach.

fruit & veg diet long term!
