John McDougall, MD -- The Ultimate Diet Therapy

[@spareld]

I don't see this "anger" you guys are talking about...this man is very passionate about saving lives

[@purewater77887]

Dr. McDougall is an MD with integrity. See all the 'famous' doctors who flip their opinions whenever a fad diet comes and goes. They jump on the bandwagon, make millions, jump to another do the same while Dr. McDougall never bent what he believes in through thick and thin for 40+ years. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

[@kilppa]

That is because he stands on shoulders of men who had great convictions to their own morals as well. I hope we will see another one carrying his torch when he is gone.

[@watchntv]

what? he eats rice and veggies, he will never die!

[@annegallagher8284]

I dissagree! It is hard to hold to a conclusion - when it goes against the profits of large industries like meat, dairy, pharmacutical. They defend profit - remember the cigarette industry? McDougall had heart problems at an early age, and with research discovered the dietry connection.

[@WOB1010]

Actually, I agree 95% with him. (He's not under any pressure from Big Business ..anymore than you are.)

[@Here_Today_]

I find the 'doctors' who jump on the fads tend to be chiropractors

[@janet9214]

I could not walk, the pain was too great which has been a problem for over 50 years... NOT NOW! I found this info and quit animal products. NOW I CAN walk, and exist without swelling in my joints and in my brain. THANK YOU! I will eat brown rice and beans forever, and never feel sick and tired again! :)

[@UnknownXV]

jane t Brown rice and beans in a flatbread wrap! I can live on that forever.

[@1operamom]

Jane T, Your comment is 3 years old so not sure if you will get this, but just curious, how long on the diet did it take to reverse your pain and physical problems?

[@lordoftheflings]

You'll fart a lot tho

[@aaronmarshall1212]

Eat fruit and leaves and feel even better. Starch is a cheap/poormans version. Beans are downright hard to digest and cause a feast for intestinal bacteria producing gas. Which in turn produces endotoxin and raises inflation.

[@cmcordoYT]

@Berserker Will the farting eventually cease?

[@PotatoStrong]

Amazing video! I love how you tell people not to get into the weeds. I get emails about BPA, GMO, organic, gluten, acid/alkaline - so many distractions when people just need to stick to a low fat starch-based diet. Plus it's so tasty - mashed potatoes, tacos, baked fries, rice and beans with salsa and baked corn tortillas.

[@alliyance]

He reminds me how much it drained you every time you try to explain the truth over and over again. Good job! and continued spreading the words.

[@Angryconsumernerd]

Thank you DR. McDougall I have followed you on youtube for years and I appreciate that you help even those that cannot afford your workshops . Thank you for help the public understand that we have a huge control over our own health .

[@JCKay]

I was one of those intelligent people who got duped by Wheat Belly, then something clicked. I remember reading on the Wheat Belly page that some people were not shedding the weight, and Dr. Davis said, if you find that your weight isn't going down, cut the dairy out of your diet too. (What the???) I came across Medical Medium, Forks Over Knives, and other plant-based diets, and suddenly realised it was all wrong. How could I have been so stupid - why would eating high fat, restricting fruits and vegetables, heal your body? It all makes sense now. I am so glad I found Dr. McDougall.

[@markdotcomau]

Not stupid at all, you're learning like the rest of us. I've just started on a plant based diet myself and also wonder why I didn't know about this before as it's so simple, but like most people I was hooked on meat and dairy and believed what the various industries told me...We all live and learn and will now hopefully live a longer and happier life :)

[@JCKay]

markdotcomau​ well guess what? All those years and years of trying to be low carb and essentially high fat to control my blood sugars and weight did nothing for me (I always had elevated liver functions, even though I do not drink alcohol, so basically it was fatty liver. I also had insulin resistance and was on diabetic medication for it and PCOS). So, yesterday I got my new blood test results back, and after being plant based now for a year, my insulin resistance is GONE, I'm not on any meds, and for the first time in over 15 years, my liver functions are perfect!! The doctor was so pleased and proud, and he said it was my plant based diet that did this and reversed my fatty liver disease! Even when I lost a lot of weight in my 20s on a low carb diet, my liver functions were still elevated! I'm no where near my ideal weight now, but the blood tests show better health! Incredible.

[@MrLaptopus]

Look up Dr. Jason Fung and itermittent fasting/keto diets. It's the type of fats and carbs that matter.

[@byusaranicole]

I almost went keto. I checked out a keto cookbook from the library to see if it was something I could do. A bunch of the recipes called to bread chicken strips in pork rinds. That was what killed it for me. There's no way on earth pork rinds are healthier than while what bread or an apple. I found Dr. McDougall soon after, thank goodness!

[@PeteLogan101]

[@luciareyesf211]

Thank you Dr. McDougall, I left dairy products, a plant based diet is the future!!! 🌍💖🌱

[@lazur1]

Considering McDougall's poor health as a young man on the SAD, the lean, healthy 67yr-old here is the strongest case for a whole-food, plant-based diet.

[@tharun960]

A stroke patient at 18 thanks to the SAD. Now still alive and doing excellent thanks to that WFPBD!

[@TB1M1]

I agree. But you should really not look at n=1 examples. Look at populations of people. Keto people call this junk science but clearly their retinas are full of atheroscelerosis.

[@TB1M1]

N=1 examples don't mean anything.

[@lazur1]

I mention DrM's situation because nay-sayers use his 2020 gaunt appearance as "evidence" of the diet being less than optimal. (I do believe WFPB-starchitarian-vegans'd make a better case for the diet w/progressive strength-training in their regimen. I think they prefer running.)

[@TB1M1]

@@lazur1 I think the diet is fine but could increase fat more. 10% I think is too low, we know more now.

[@ArtofTSP]

Dear John, Thank you for holding true to your values and your message. I just really wanted to say thank you for this. Keep up the good work!

[@philipbrown2225]

This whole confusion about low carb or high carb gets resolved for me by looking at the age of the people advocating these various positions. In 2 days I will be 56, I don’t look to some younger whipper snappers like Daniel Vitalis or David Wolfe to tell me how to achieve longevity and health. I look to studies and I look for people older than me who appear to be functioning well. Caldwell Esselstyn is near 80 and has the studies to show that what he is advocating works. McDougall is 67 and for his age looks very good as well and is pretty much advocating the same thing. I work at a place, The Omega Institute, where I see zillions of young healthy people eating any number of different ways all the way up to their late 40’s. Once one hits 50 or so problems start to rear their heads unless one has incredible genetics. I want to see Perlmutter and Grain Belly doctors with all the people they put on their plan who 5 and 10 and 20 years later are free of cardiovascular disease.Show me their studies and research. Ain’t gonna happen

[@mannymedina1132]

+Philip Brown If this type of reasoning resonates with you then you should check out Dr. Dougal Graham. He is in his late 80's and he is much healthier than McDougall, still doing pullups and handstands at his age.

[@richardgray8593]

+Philip Brown David Wolfe is a new-age nut judging from some of the woo-woo babble that comes out of his mouth. It amazes me that anybody is interested in anything he has to say.

[@jasbirkaurvillaschi8019]

+Manny Medina Unfortunately Douglas Graham also is guilty of pushing water fasting retreats , at one a young lady nearly died and he went after her to 'protect' his brand rather than making sure she got timely medical intervention.Compassion is absent in that man ...he is another 'guru' in terms of creating a personality cult

I'm so glad to have come across this. One of the things that I have been worrying about a little when it comes to my diet (I am a high carb low fat vegan) is if I need to be concerned about developing diabetes later in life despite not being overweight. Really good information here.

[@deepika449]

Thank you Dr McDougall. Your speech is Very inspiring. I tried Atkins diet once and hated the way my body feels during that time and also I am not a huge fan of animal products. I didn't know why but Now after listening you presentation i got it.

[@genericcomment1]

dr mcdougall is a lovely man and has made such a positive impact on the world with his ideas and his nice simple diet. While I've realized after 2 plus years on the McD plan that perhaps his diet is not the highest level of nutritional excellence, its a GREAT way to get started on vegan diet. Now I aim to consume a lot more greens, beans, raw, make green smoothies and even a few supplements and I feel even better, but if not for McD, I never would have gone plant based so I am always indebted to McDougall for his simple, clear message

[@345kobi]

Had to comment since you had the same experience that I did. Even the timing is in sync. His diet certainly removes all the bad stuff - meat, dairy, sugar and heavily processed foods. Not quite sure why he hasn't emphasized the high antioxidant food. One thought I have had is that He wants people to eat food that is higher calorie content in order to feed a growing world population.

I too believe Dr McDougall is not at his best (worn out) in this video. He is pushing himself too hard in his fight against the meat, dairy, and pharmacutical industries.

I am on board and would really appreciate having subtitles for non-English speaking folks outside of the US. Attaching email response sent re: this video: One suggestion: I just played the video through KZbin and was able to generate English subtitles. I don't need them, but here in Brazil where I spend most of the year I have spoken to a lot of people here and they are in need of these videos with subtitles for greater understanding of plant-based diets. Veganism is increasing here, but plant-based diets are 99.99% unknown. For many, the English subtitles will not help them, but having subtitles available in Spanish will facilitate understanding for most Brazilians who can easily read and understand Spanish, a first cousin of Portuguese. As mentioned, the great majority of people here are unaware of the benefits of plant-based nutrition and I for one would be thankful and as a means of sharing the knowledge. Thank you for your consideration,

I was a tired child all my life, no energy even to make friends, but I had no real illness. I did the Candida diet which eliminates all grains. At the age of 27 for the first the clouds parted. I could think for the first time, my mind just got clear, I didn't need to nap every day and my personality started to shine. But I went back to grains after about 2 weeks and the clouds came back. I had no discipline to eat the way I needed to eat. Then about 10 years later I did the raw food diet at age 37 which was even more incredible. Again the clouds parted, a very bad back injury became painfree, all my body limbered up, I had the sharp mind and personality strong again and an interest in people and energy to connect with them. I showed others the raw food diet and saw miracles of healing, well-being and many good things. Grain-Brain and Wheat Belly are two of my favorite books. Maybe the problem is the hybridization. I also crash from rice.
