Do Low-Carb Diets Increase the risk of Heart Disease? Dr. McDougall Health & Medical Center

[@margielynch1465]

I truly appreciate Dr McDougall and Mary. I feel so much better and loosing weight. I read all the time how the carnivores put down the vegan community. Calling us sick and malnourished. I’ve never felt better since I ditched meat, dairy and oils

[@pantameowmeow.s.1149]

Glad you are feeling better! Getting extra weight off is a great relief to the body.

[@DJTT-d9h]

Have you considered the fact that you might feel better because you ditched the oils and dairy rather than the meat? You could try cutting out just one item of food one by one for a while as an experiment.

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

@@DJTT-d9h yet, the published research by Dr M, and similar colleagues such as Dr Esselstyn and Prof Ornish, does not appear to support what you're arguing here.

[@christieanderson1330]

Maybe you feel better on meat because you ditched the same.

[@DJTT-d9h]

@@christieanderson1330 No, I feel on top of the world on a plant-based diet. Never need more than 5 hours sleep at night and can keep going all day long without feeling the slightest bit fatigued even when the temperatures are in the high 30s (C) and I'm doing strenuous physical work. Incidentally, I'm in my 77th year. Never sick. Never visit the doctor. Never, ever take any kind of medication and never will!

[@Nervedraz]

amazing to see how Dr. McDougall still has the fight and passion in him after all these years. That's what happens when you tell the truth. Fighting big agriculture is ongoing .... they do not want the masses getting the big idea as they stand to lose many billions of dollars.

[@pantameowmeow.s.1149]

I'm expecting people to lose weight, the government take overs of private farming will.lead to no good.

[@christomorpho]

Hello Gloria from South Australia. Love my potatoes too

[@DJTT-d9h]

Careful! Potatoes are very high in lectins. Especially bad for people with O (Original Man) blood groups. Sweet potatoes are a lot better as they don't contain nearly so many.

[@charleswilson4598]

Baked potatoes. Even though I was trying to eat a reduced carb diet for my diabetes I couldn't quite give up potatoes entirely. Then I made a discovery, my airfryer. A microwave is faster but if you like the crisp skin on an oven baked potato, I have found my air fryer to be perfeect. 400 deg for 40 min or so and walk away. When the dinger goes off your baked potato is done, nice and crispy.

A lot of people can’t lose weight on high carb starches though. You guys might be eating more vegetables than starches then.

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

What's your source for what you're saying please? And have you gone through Dr M's Starch Solution presentations on YT, or read the books and Newsletters? Kindly, the science doesn't support what you're saying here. People will struggle to lose weight if that starch is prepared with added fats and oils, and/or lots of refined sugars and syrups perhaps: but that is not then a starch based diet.

[@dj-fe4ck]

@JohnDoe-xk1dv sugar and maple syrup don't cause weight gain or make it hard lose weight. Gmo sugars like hfcs are the only ones I would stay away from.

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

@@dj-fe4ck note I did say 'lots' of refined sugars and syrups. Yes, if people are adding a ton of calories via these on top of normal starch based calorie needs, they can struggle more. But that's not most people's issue - their problem is not eating enough starch, and fats and oils, and/or animal products alongside and instead of.

[@christieanderson1330]

No matter what diet, calories always matter.

[@Coach_Jose]

@@christieanderson1330 The body doesn't work like that. I have had days were i eat more and i drop weight just because i balanced my blood sugars. The key seems to be lowering insulin. When insulin is at a correct level the bodies metabolism speeds up and burns off excess calories. This explains why intermittent fasting works for weight loss even though people eat in a calorie surplus.

I don’t think you really answered the skinny lady with high A1C. Do you think she should watch things like white rice. Potatoes get green when they are in to much light.

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

He did - if she's type 1.5 diabetic, she'll need some insulin. That's then visiting her doctor, for looking at pancreatic function. You're better off, diabetic or not, going on brown rice than white rice from the Program guidelines. It's not a dealbreaker if you're not diabetic, and if it's vegetables and fruits without grease and oil with that white rice, probably most will do just fine - as long as vit B12 source is included, and some sunlight, both of which we all should also be wary of anyway. Epidemiologically and historically, all other things being equal, rural Far East people did really well on that. But brown rice is better, with the fibre and fuller bran.

[@dogmutty2]

Quack!

[@dj-fe4ck]

@@JohnDoe-xk1dv No. Only white rice. You can easily get enough fiber from fruits, vegetables, and other whole grains. I will never eat brown rice again. Brown doesn't taste good and has too much arsenic.

[@dj-fe4ck]

I don't even eat white rice with vegetables at the same time. I can eat big monomeals of white rice and I have zero problems. I feel no different than I do after eating a big meal of whole wheat or oats. Fasting glucose 73, fasting insulin 2.3, a1c 5.0 when I last tested them. I have never had an a1c over 5.2 and have never had a Fasting glucose over 90.

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

@@dj-fe4ck they've served brown rice preferentially at the McDougall program long term, you do understand here. I'm sorry that you don't like brown rice, but plenty of people do. And any arsenic in rice, in itself, is not due to it being brown or white, in and of itself. It's due to the soil, and arsenic containing pesticides that may have been used on that soil previously. Yes, brown will contain more, if the rice comes from those type of soils, but it is possible to source rice from arsenic free ones. Arsenic soils tend to be ones that have been grown with non-organic cotton, in previous years.

I was considering his diet since I’m 62 and in great health currently (just want to be in best health possible)! What works best for you? Were you eating starch based?

[@DJTT-d9h]

@@Ranch-girl No, definitely no starch! Starch converts to sugar and can cause all manner of sicknesses (Alzheimer's, diabetes etc) as the body becomes insulin resistant. Sugar is NOT needed in the body. Ketones are. If you're in great health my advice to you is to continue eating what you're already eating and forget carbs!

I follow my gut instinct as to what to eat and what not to eat. Original Man ate a little meat occasionally supplemented with seeds, nuts, berries, wild fruits and vegetables. Definitely no wheat or dairy as they were only introduced tens of thousands of years later and are only 'suitable' for those people with blood group A (Agricultural Man).
