Now he has loads of fiber, everyday he has a pint of smoothie, with 20g flaxseed, 15g milled chia, strawberries, apple, banana, mixed berries and lemon. There are seeds and skin from the fruits left in the smoothie even after blending it. Then he normally has a veg soup that I make. Sweet potato, potatoes, leak, chickpeas, onions, carrots, garlic, peas, spinach and kale. Since he stopped the meat , dairy and eggs hes like a new man.

It’s great to read all of the comments from people who have experienced life changing health benefits. I too, have turned my health around radically by simply eating starch/whole-food/plant based. No animal products, no processed foods, dairy or added sugars. What a game changer this has been for me. Lower heart rate & blood pressure, no more pains, sustainable weight loss, no cravings, more energy, sleeping better and generally feeling great. This should be taught to all front line general practitioners around the globe.

Wow, I wanted to become an RN at one time. I worked a Candy Striper and a CNA. I saw what the nurses did. They passed meds and charted about it all shift. I had to report any ill effects for the nurses. The residents suffered with different side effects, even nausea or vomiting and I also had to let the next shift know. Some of the residents even refused to take their meds because of how they made them feel and they weren't all dementia residents. So I decided to stay a CNA/HHA/PTC, helping care for the residents and trying to keep them comfortable after the meds. Thanks again doctor for the book and the video.

Diet is very personal. People with ankylosing spondylitis would do terrible on starch. Their symptoms resolve on low starch, so they have to eat animal protein or they would starve.

[@therealborischang]

I really got into vegetable gardening, including over 200 containers of potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, cabbages, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, baby bokchoy, peppers, daikon, carrots, turnips, garlic, onions… Plus about 30 deep water hydroponic containers in my garage-to give myself access to the absolute freshest fruits and vegetables year round. Going vegan has been great for me. I sleep better, and I have have more energy. And I lost 50 lbs and stopped taking diabetes pills over the past five years. My doctor was amazed. He told me the fatty deposits in my liver were gone. He said he warned many of his overweight patients they were killing theirselves with bad diets but they just didn’t seem to care.

I didn't know vitamin D was dangerous, I live in Canada where we don't get much sun and I've been taking vitamin D daily. I will stop taking that. Very informative 👏 thank you Dr. McDougall.

[@RiDankulous]

I heard him write in a previous newsletter that tanning beds can help with vitamin D, so there's another way.

[@pallavisingh62]

Depends on your genes. Vitamin D is metabolised in three different stages. Depending on how close your genes are to the equator, the second and third stages of the metabolism vary in efficiency. If your ancestors lived near the equator, you will not make Vitamin D very effectively. Dark skin in Canada? A ship wreck without supplimentation. Northern genes + supplementation? Long term toxicity.

Ahhhhhhhh was 100% on board and will follow most of what's been said... But having viewed most of the peer-reviewed publications on the importance of Vitamin D supplements (Much has been done recently with connection to Covid)... I can't accept dear Dr McDougalls take on this... But everything else is brilliant :-)

Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)

[@jeaninesilva5055]

My mom quit cigarettes by slowly reducing the amount. She made rules for herself...no smoking before 3..slowly reducing the amount she smoked..with filters etc until eventually she only smoked when she was out socializing..then she quit completely...she's 95 right now..her father and son quit cold turkey..I've read resistant starch is good for you ..green bananas..cold oatmeal..etc..its good for your digestive system

The guy had me in the first half. To recommend grain is not bad in principle, oil is not needed by humans, but humans need nutrients. And to demonize food supplements is guaranteed the wrong approach to a vegan diet. Vitamin D no longer causes bone fractures, the test subjects were all old and received over 100,000 Iu (if I remember correctly) in one shot. This gave them such a surge of energy in the next few days that they went out much more and thus had statistically more accidents. But the vitamin d per se was not responsible for that. Dr. Greger has analyzed this study. It is true that one should not take vitamin a, e, beta carotene as a food supplement but a solid dose of about 3-5k iu of vitamin d and at least 50mcg of methylcobalamin should be taken by every vegan. In addition, according to his diet, there will eventually be problems with calcium, zinc and vitamin e. You need nuts for a balanced vegan diet, not only if you want to gain weight. You can certainly live for a year, but at some point the body has no strength without the missing minerals and vitamins.

Thank you Dr McDougall💚

[@AlternativeReality]

How extreme it is...seeing a doctor actually helping people! I love Dr. McDougal's work!

[@AlternativeReality]

@Milica Skenderovic, Mag. Pharm. Awesome! I just subbed!

[@hongkongtennis]

I quit smoking 10 years ago by reducing the number of cigarettes by one every day. I started at 20 a day and 20 days later I smoked my last cigarette. Cutting down worked for me.

[@deadmanswife3625]

Great job any plan will work if you are sincere about it. You are a winner

[@cynthiagaudino9272]

AWESOME information....Thank you so much ❤

[@Constructology]

Thank you

[@smallfootprint2961]

I could listen to this often, and do. I've heard it many times, and am inspired every time. Thank you Dr. McDougall for being there when I needed help. I was like a lot of people; knew better, and mostly did it but slipped around a lot. Now, I see the benefit of jumping in with both feet, but still need the encouragement. Thanks for saving my life.

[@GreenpetesWorld]

Fascinating and cogent presentation; thankyou.

[@alesiaw7048]

[@thomasgronek6469]

triglycerides are usually below 70, blood glucose stays at about 76, A1c is 4.2, insulin is 5.3 (fasted), BP = 115/58, resting heart rate = 66, I'm never constipated. I love my food, I'll never ingest fruit, grains, vegetables or sugar ever again.

[@RiDankulous]

I see nothing but a bunch of pudgy meat eaters calling Mcdougall emaciated in the comments section. I am on Mcdougall's diet 4+ years. I did it to lower cholesterol because the 'no sugar' thing didn't work for cholesterol being a bit over 200 mg/dl. Well, Mcdougall's diet did work. cholesterol dropped to 125 mg/dl (ideal), blood pressure is normal after coming off blood pressure medication. Resting heart rate that was also controlled by the blood pressure med came down to 73 beats per minute. I lost 50 lbs FOUR YEARS AGO and kept it all off. Mcdougall is my hero. I am fit, healthy and hardy and will be until my 90s.

[@Combinationlock]

I can see plant based nutrition and the vegan lifestyle is treating McDougall incredibly well.

[@Jimboaxle]

Pure inspiration!!!

[@sevenspineiii7524]

Great video! Although I tend to agree....there are too many studies available to cast such a broad net discrediting supplementation. The liver and digestion have to be functioning at a high level for supplementation to be voided from the diet. Typically not the case with people who are sick. Liver cleansing along with a plant based diet for immediate results.

[@theoldlefthander]

I've lost 200 pounds. Fruits, Veggies, Potatoes, Potatoes, Potatoes. Thank-You Dr. McDougal.

[@talgara69]

Excellent

[@george480]

How the hell these super renowned MDs are giving this info away for free. These are not some guru pretend bullshiters, they are actual scientists and practitioners. And yet still so many of us, including me at times just walk past this knowledge. Although since he has a few national bestsellers, so not all is lost.

[@MistMonkey]

Most ov the vegans are pretend bullshiters, cause the vegan diet is a high carb lie.

[@george480]

[@getoutsidenow420]

Plant based diet reduced my chronic inflammation big time, now i be training my abs when im not lazy, walking with all trails, love it, and i love lentil curry concoctions as a staple, dont be all OCD just take baby steps, peace! The body adjusts to legume flatulence once the microbiom develops the proper bacteria from regular legume consumption, you wont be a gas bag in time
