when lm at home l eat potatoes, rice, bean burritos, bread. l stick to my starches. l cheat once in awhile when dining out which is not much. The starch solution works for me

I did a full year a couple of years ago. I was successful. Then a long drawn out "perfect storm" happened and I went back to my old ways. A week from today I am beginning another year long potato challenge.

If I’m used to eating a lot will this diet help me? Like if I really enjoy boiled potatoes plain without anything else and only that, would I be able to eat as many potatoes as I want without putting on weight? Cause I love eating ALOT

Beautiful. Amazing stuff, Andrew. Thank you for all you do. The bit starting from around 40:00--Spot. On. What a fantastic and powerful perspective shift. This one will live on with me. As always, deep bow to Dr McDougall (RIP) and the entire McDougall family. Peace, Love, & Potatoes

Keep up the good work Andrew. I fully intend to at some point to do an extended period of potato only dieting I’ve never had weight problems but I want to use it as a way to draw attention to how our diets are destructive to the environment. Potatoes being one of the most land, water efficient vegetables along with being one of the most nutritional. It seems like an ideal choice. Thanks for being an inspiration.

I have been reading about the solanine content in potatoes. This has me concerned, as they feature more and more in my daily diet. I have been eating 300-400 grams in each meal, sometimes twice daily. Typically one meal is potatoes, peels on, steamed in the microwave. The second meal is the leftover potatoes cooked that way, then chilled in the refrigerator. Should I put a cap of the grams eaten each day, to avoid alkyloid toxicity?

2 kilos in a week is a lot!

I weigh out my potatoes and usually eat 300-400 grams in a meal. It’s a lot of food and I’m full but losing weight. It’s also very easy, quick to prep, and cheap… like the cheapest meal in town 😂

i love hearing Teddy's sweet little voice. I have 5 children (all grown now) and hearing him reminded me of that precious time when they were his age.

thank u doctor john macdougall...you may rest in peace now..u help lots of people..god bless u with heaven

I miss him sooo much and watch his videos pretty much on a daily basis....RIP Dear Dr. Mcdougall.😥❤

This was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing

I noticed this after wilderness trips when I was younger and fitter. When they were over we'd go to a hotel in the nearest tourist town for 2-3 days, and go out to eat for every meal. Going from no-choice meals in the woods to a plethora of choices, debating endless restaurant choices with a partner, making menu decisions (calorie splurge vs healthy? this entree vs that one?) was supposed to be fun but felt like a mental burden, compared to the simplicity of life in the woods. OTOH, sleeping in a bed and having a shower again was pure heaven!

What is your diet now

Watching again. Dr mcDougall passed away recently and I have been rewatching many of his videos. I never met him in person but I am strangely aware that he is no longer alive and I miss him. RIP and thank you for sharing your knowledge

I love this …. Thanks you.

Thanks you for your great tribute to Dr McDougall👍

Dr McDougall was a great soul. Still he is !

Great success story telling about the amazing results from choosing basic low fat, low salt starch solution 🎶🍀🎵💚

Still eating potatoes since July 4th and I’m down to 289.4 from 300lb. Woohoo!! lowest weight in years!

So sad to hear. Started listening to John during the pandemic in 2020 and he changed my life. He will be so missed.

FBG, A1c, cholesterol, TG, and BP improved while eating as many potatoes as my heart desired. Thanks Dr McDougall.

I’m finishing my first week eating 95% potatoes while avoiding oil. Day 1 I was 300 lb today day 6 I weighed in at 291.3 lb. Unbelievable…My digestion and energy is improving daily. My trick is to use popcorn seasoning or tomato sauce to change it up. *I use a POTATO RICER its key in portion control so Im eating the same portions in each meal* VERY IMPORTANT I try to eat roughly 2 to 3 large bowls (riced)each day. There is no turning back I’m going to do a year of spuds. Spudfit/starch solution works. It’s not easy you will crave other foods but when you have cravings ask yourself is it too painful or unbearable? it’s neither compared to fasting (i once fasted for 5 days in a row - it was hell.. also your going to try to convince yourself to add things to the diet don’t do this because eventually you’ll just keep adding until your eating everything again. Good luck

I had potato cake today with some vegan gravy and a side-dish of romaine lettuce with zero fat dressing. It was delicious!

So glad to know this! Very informative video; thank you.

Fab video.

Dr McDougall will NEVER be replaced! He did the research and aprroached this with such honesty an and humor! He shaped the way our whole Family lives our wonderful vegan LIFE- You will live on forever, Will be SO missed! We Love you all! ALOHA OE- A HUI HOU from us in Kona, HI-

This was a nice video for you to make.

Anyone can tell me if his friend Colin Campbell has commented on his death?

Saw that brother. He MADE that corporate Doc listen and respect him! Still cant belie e he is gone. Much love and regards to his wife and daughter. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

First I’m hearing about it 😢 Absolute pioneer in the current plant based AND vegan for the environment and animal movements! His legacy will live on!!!

Thanks for your message about our dear John McDougal. You are lucky to have known him. His ideas changed my life as well. RIP Dr John

Loved the tribute! Happy Birthday Spud! Memory Eternal Dr. Mcdougall

❤ heartwarming

NICE tribute to Dr. McDougall...thank you! Went plant-based in 2012...am 66 right now...still work full time and feel awesome every ... day !

Beautifully done!!! Thank u!!! Bless u!!! He heard u!!!💞💞🙃💞💞

Nobody can ever replace Dr John McDougall he was such a unique human being like there are alot of stars but very few people like Elvis and Michael Jackson ,same thing with Dr McDougall,there are alot of Doctors but nobody like him ..he was always like a family member like the grandfather you wish you had...❤

@spudfit where can I find the "program" to follow the diet?

To Dr. Michael Klapper - Dr. McDougall has been dead just a few days. Message to the other Plant-Based doctors from us, the McDougallers, is Hyatt John has a monumental amount of work, we could spend the rest of our lives studying it all and not be reading the same papers or newsletter or videos, twice! His method worked. Do I only eat potatoes? No but I usually eat a baked potato for breakfast daily. I enjoy it. I am at goal, and am maintaining my weight loss. Dr. McDougall was a doctor who loved his patients and his well deserved fan club. He loved us, and we returned the admiration. If you cannot stand that you are not going to get any number of us jumping ship to join your camp, well, learn to live with it. John was right and “the truth don’t change”.

Could see it was not easy for you but this is a wonderful tribute. Just the right words and the right call to action. Done people bone to this world with a greater mission (since we all have one-just need to find it) and he fulfilled it to the best he could. Let’s remember him with gratitude 🌺

Sry for the loss

Sorry for your loss….

❤

Really nice tribute. Cool to hear stories from people who got to know him first hand. Thank you.

Switched to the Starch Solution 7 years ago. Never looked back. Thank you Dr. McDougall. .

Thank you so much for your tribute.
