Dr. Doug Lisle Remembers Dr McDougall + Q & A on the French Paradox, Social Anxiety, Raw Food & More

[@nomad9338]

Dr Mcdougall should have been awarded the Nobel Prize. He saved so many lives with his work. RIP ❤❤❤❤

[@dprice6189]

Don’t think the Rockefeller’s would approve that.

[@KK-lg8uz]

by getting people to stop eating processed foods? Thats the only thing that got any results. Stopping meat damaged his physical and mental health, he showed signs of dementia and looked like a like he had sarcopenia. Just like Lisle. Completely unnatural diet, no anthropological data supports it at all

[@jgrysiak6566]

His diet will go viral now that he's gone. Just like the Atkins diet did after Dr Atkins passed

[@jgrysiak6566]

​@@dprice6189, Dr. Mcdougall was a philanthropist just like the Rockefeller's

[@TB1M1]

Until about 2015 yes. But after that I think he lost his mind, with save the planet which undermined his credibility imho. Same with Michael Klaper.

[@VeganJerry]

RIP Dr. McDougall. Your work will live on.

[@noseycow7681]

I really don’t care what the critics say. I know how my body feels on Dr McDougall’s plan. The truth is in the pudding ..or in this case - in ‘the potatoes’ 🥔

[@KK-lg8uz]

you only feel better because of the processed foods you stopped eating. It has nothing whatsoever to do with meat. You'll end up deficient and suffering from digestive and mental health disorders if you quit for too long. He looked like he had sarcopenia and showed signs of dementia. The guy was neurotic, clearly diet related. We didnt evolve on the foods he recommended, and we have 3.4 million years of meat eating evidence.. He was a perfect example of why you shouldnt follow his own advise. Check out the interview - An Explosive Interview with Vegan Expert Dr. John McDougall - you really want to take advice from this guy?

[@KK-lg8uz]

its amazing how much better you feel when you stop eating processed foods. Buts its ridiculous to think its stopping meat that made you feel better. You ultimately end up with nutrient deficiencies and neurotic like poor McDougall did. He meant well, but his understanding of human nutrition was way, way off.

I must admit, I shed tears learning of Dr McDougall's passing. I watched so many of his seminars over KZbin and first learning of him through Forks Over Knives as well as the doctors that I came to hold in high regard, Dr Lisle included. What a wonderful legacy he has helping people get healthy. I loved the story Dr Lisle had about Dr McDougall visiting his parent on Christmas eve. This really choked me up. AJ, thank you too for bringing so many of your interviews with him to us. Without our health, life is so much more challenging. I thank Dr McDougall for setting the record straight on starches and eating well. All of you are doing such a fantastic job promoting health and well being. Thank you. Dr McDougall was my hero.........

[@aquamarine0023]

I just learned of Dr. McDougall's passing and I have not been able to stop crying. He is a genuine hero to me - he was a true gift who truly improved the lives of so many people! He was such a treasure and I'm so broken-hearted that he is no longer with us.

That's a really lovely story about Dr McDougall on Christmas eve. His legacy of the lives he saved/improved is what's important xx

[@shess1640]

I love the story Doug shared about Dr McDougall coming over to his place on Christmas Eve to tend to his father and take his mother grocrey shopping. Dr McDougall had such Generosity of Spirit ....evident in so many ways including the sharing of recipes and all those newsletters on his website. He was not a Gatekeeper and freely gave so much information out. I attended a 10 day McDougall program in Santa Rosa and shared with him that I'd had a Stage 4 cancer a few years prior. He was not big on chemo... and one of the times I was speaking with him, he asked how I was treated for my rare form of cancer and I shared the protocol. I love that he was an absolute Truth Seeker....lifelong learner. I loved his passion for his work. What a lovely tribute from Dr Lisle. Another giant in his field.... so sharp and observant and fully human in all the ways possible.

[@NancyGreer]

Yes, Dr. McDougall was a hero and will be sorely missed. We need more people like him.

[@vegsource]

The French paradox can easily be explained by the difference of death causes recorded in France from other countries. France records heart disease as a cause of death much more rarely and classifies it as a natural death, whereas other countries label the same death as heart disease. So it’s not a difference in the actual rate of heart death but it’s a difference in the rate of accurately recording the cause of death. I read a study on this somewhere.

[@skippy6462]

Dr Greger has a video about this; the French paradox with the sources cited. Hope that helps you find it.

[@RobertaPeck]

Wow! This misrepresenting heart disease death as ' natural causes' clarifies this question of the erroneous term of French Paradox! Thank you so much for posting !!!

Unfortunately, my husband's health was most likely heart related. We are still waiting on the autopsy results. As much as I tried to help my husband with his diet, restaurants and fast foods were his weakness and indulgence. The pleasure trap is real.

Dr. McDougall was a very special Dr. in my life and I will be forever grateful that I became serious about his introduction about health over 10 years ago. He changed my life and way of thinking about what to eat to be more healthy. I loved his book about the Starch Solution. I read it cover to cover and then purchased more of his books. He will be missed very much. He and Mary his wife have been a blessing in my life. Thank you to all of his family also.Love all of you!❤❤❤❤

[@gaililimaroberts3229]

Have you heard of “nouvelle cuisine”? I lived in France for twenty years, and I can tell you that the attitude towards food is VERY different than in America. Eating is an art, presentation is important… the portions of rich food eaten in restaurants are much smaller than American restaurant portions. Home cooking is simpler with lots of fruits and vegetables and less processed food. And the rich dishes are “treats” for special occasions and not three times a day fare. Of course this is all changing with the younger generations and the invasion of fast and processed food. But that is what I believe partially explains the “French paradox”, also that meals are consumed in the setting of social occasions with lots of conversation meaning slower eating and more etiquette. You rarely see the French eating in the street or gobbling at their desks.

[@griselperez8877]

Dr. Mc Dougall should be remembered as the life saving hero, a genius Dr. that never backdown, he shares his view and vision of what healthy living is, we have no way to thank him for it, it took me 3 weeks to get rid off the horrible pain and constant suffering from severe osteoarthritis, and many other diseases that are gone for good thanks to Dr. John Mc Dougall. He and Mary granted our family respect and gratitude for ever, and he still deeply misses.

It was a great episode AJ 😊 Between honouring Dr McDougall and Dr Lisle's deep explanations around evolution, diet discrepancies between the 'vegan giants' and anxiety, it was a comfort that the vegan world will continue with profound memories of Dr McDougall always in our minds and hearts. I think time will increase the perspective on Dr McDougall's work. I've already written words of praise about Dr McDougall elsewhere in the past few days so I won't repeat myself. Even without knowing Dr McDougall, it still feels like a shock that is kind of not really wearing off. It's a profound thing maybe because Dr McDougall's influence on so many of us has been very personal ❤

[@JB-hj2vj]

I'm experimenting with a combination of large amounts of fruit and one starch based meal per day. I haven't quite got it working - it needs more refinement. Freelee on 'The Frugivore Diet' channel recommends this type of approach.

[@StephenMarkTurner]

Terrific words from Dr Lisle. Very nice.

[@shelleycharlesworth5177]

McDougall's way of eating-whole foods starch/plant based- was how my husband lost 32 pounds and got off all Rx drugs-statins, blood pressure meds and diabetes drugs. McDougall died the way I want to die. He stayed 99% cognitively intact, and could wipe his own behind, and then just died without the drama associated with the typical SAD patient. No surgeries, no endless buckets of pills, no disabling and toxic procedures and treatments, no pain, no anguish. Whatever age I die that's how I want to go out. I'm 76 now and I do not care to live to be very OLD! Yes he lived almost 60 years after that stroke he had at age 18. He helped so many and told people for free how to eat! You didn't need to buy his books but I did-bought them all. RIP Dr John!

I lived in France in high school and then worked there as an adult. They appreciate their meals, tend not to snack. Teeny breakfast, hearty lunch eaten at leisure and usually in good company, small supper. The basic raw materials are so luscious and delicious. It is not just what they eat but how they eat. Food and meal times are given high priority. Even a coffee break is taken sitting down, not rushing down the street with a styrofoam or paper cup. School lunches are models of balance and health. Go online and check out the menus for school lunches in Paris!

Dr Greger has a video somewhere about the french Paradox. It's a misunderstanding of the epidemiology. The french only RECENTLY started eating that way. And the older ppl still eat a more traditional diet that doesn't include all the cheese and higher fat foods. The younger ppl are eating that way so the damage hasn't been fully realized yet. Same thing is happening in Hong Kong. They have great health and ppl point to all the meat they are eating and saying "see meat is good for you" when really the older ppl are still eating traditional diets and it's the young eating all the meat.

[@11235Aodh]

Can't be done as all fruits and vegetables have protein. But i get what you mean, no extra protein sources on top of that. But it's common misconception that fruits and vegetables don't have all 20 amino acids or are lacking in one way or another, which isn't true. Mixing carbs and fat is very bad though, and unfortunately most regular sources of protein (meat, eggs) are also a high percentage in fat.

It's about quality not quantity. I know people in their 50s to 70s full of pharmaceutical drugs dragging themselves around not having a good healthy lifestyle.

He could have died decades before. Plenty of people do. My ex is dead at 68 my SIL is dying now at 63 with stage 4. She looks well so it's confusing.

You've been used your whole life looking at overweight and slightly overweight people like all of us do. This also warps our view of what healthy lean looks like. Mary doesn't look frail, but does look older than someone her age who has a full plump face no doubt. Fat makes you look younger. Looking younger doesn't mean being younger.
