This was a really good one! Exactly what I needed to hear. I LOVE potatoes, corn, beans, bread. And I'm tired of being afraid of starches.

This was an EXCELLENT presentation! Thank you, Dr. McDougall and Chef AJ for making this available. I will be sharing it with the people I care about, hoping that they will make a change before it's too late.

I love this! The only point I disagree on is where he says we have to eat less fruit in order to lose weight. This is demonstrably not the case! About 90% of my consumption is fruit and the rest is vegetables and starches and I am dropping weight and inches like crazy!

I hung up the Scarsdale, Atkins, Keto, Mediterranean, Carnivore, and all other high-protein diets. Sure I lost about 10 pounds with high protein diets but the weight loss always stopped and I gained more back even with exercise and compliance with the diets. I finally figured out that the weight was a combo of fat and muscle mass from these protein diets. My goal was to take the excess weight off of my frame due to bone spurs. I started with Pritikin's maximum weight loss diet and now McDougall's diet and the weight is effortlessly coming off! Chunky... that's what I used to be called. 😄

Great information! Thank you. I always appreciate listening to Dr. McDougall and other experts who know the real facts about food and what we should be eating. It’s just amazing to me that people think the modern day grocery store is filled with foods that are good for us.

I'm an NHS nurse having worked in the hospitals for the last 17 yrs. Last week I was working on a cancer ward. There was a patient who was vegan and he had bladder cancer. He had been a vegan for 8 yrs. This is the first vegan patient I've met in 17 yrs. Most but not all patients are overweight or obese and don't eat WFPB diets.

[bluej]

Oh, I agree with everything. He says I just get tired of cooking all the time and trying to cook for one without wasting a lot of food and I get tired of carrying my food with me., if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
And thank you Dr. McDougall for such a fantastic video

[NicgetsFit]

Thanks for sharing! I always love listening to the information. I wish I found your way years ago!!

Very high quality lecture. I completely disagree with his conclusions about fruits though. He contradicts himself when talking about how excess calories from glucose are burnt off and not stored as fat. Fructose doesn't even raise insulin, comparatively. I've yet to meet even one long-term fat fruitarian in my life. Fruit, starches, and all sugary foods are self regulating and almost impossible to overeat. Believe me, I've tried. You just can't do it. McDougall seems to think the insulin spike will prevent weight loss as well which is more rubbish. With a plant-based high fruit, high veggie, high starch, low-fat diet I've lost over 100 lbs, going from 235 to 135, lean, and have remained that way. Tons of health issues: Gone. There's plenty of people who have done the same or similar. So while I agree with McDougall 90%, I say eat as much fruit as you want, that includes fruit juice, fiber or not. Just as long as it's fresh and homemade in a slow juicer.

I don't suffer hunger pangs. I'm an emotional eater. I fast intermittently. Lose a few pounds. Sugar is my vice. My friends are having same conversation - I'm FAT. Now is the time for all good friends to come to the aid of their friends - SUGAR is NOT YOUR BODY'S FRIEND.
Time to chew on this - "The fat you eat is the fat you wear". Hard to swallow the truth...Thankfully a friend from Alaska sent me here. Sharing with more friends 💕 in Alaska, Arizona, California, Washington state and North Carolina. Very thankful ...thank you Dr. McDougall...
