Once a 190 lbs OTR driver for 15 years; went local got down to 170 (more physical work eating less and quit smoking) went on for 13 years, but 6 years ago I found “evidence based” Dr Mcdougall and started WFP based eating w/o much exercise down to 140 lbs I roll ride run shred and heal fast... This dude saved my life!

I had cancer and lost a lot of weight due to the treatments. I follow your starch solution diet & regained my muscle mass. Then i added peanut butter toast to my daily breakfast & regain a few fat back under my skin. Thanks to you, i now take control of my body & how it feels.

Plant based diet changed my wallet my weight my life.. all for the best. (and its ethical )

[@quacktuber1051]

Yes I have this with my family after 3 years on your diet. Lol. They are worried about my health. However my GP says about my bloodworm, whatever you are doing kept doing it.

[@jonestacara]

This is exactly what I needed! I did the starch solution for a while and lost 40lbs but i wouldn’t stop losing and I didn’t like looking so thin and gaunt so I quit the diet to gain some weight. I will go back to it and eat more avocado and nuts. I had lots of energy on the diet too

[@chelsea911]

What did you eat exactly and in what quanties? Asking for myself 😅

[@jonestacara]

@@chelsea911 I ate oatmeal, fruit and small amount of nut butter or Canadian Farms cereal with almond or soy milk for breakfast. I ate lots of Plantiful Kiki recipes. Beans rice and veggies, lots of vegetable soups, lots of potatoes

I have great lab work and I don't hurt as bad after being on a plant based foods. I have 2 spinal injuries and just got off some of my medications and I lost 10 lbs right away! Thank you Dr. for your videos!

Thank you for this video. Very nice to hear this when you feel a sense of alienation from well meaning friends/relos. I’m sure many here can relate to the “you’re so thin…isn’t it all a bit extreme?” We’re a bit worried about you” . Especially galling tho when you are finally getting well after years and years of disease .- ok, not a miracle cure, I will likely always have a few autoimmune diseases (knocked a few back tho too:) but just to have the energy to go out, swim, walk, dance laugh, - Live for goodness sake.! I’m so grateful I have found the Good Doctors especially the very pragmatic, wry Dr Mcdougall , I have learned Sooo much. I swear next time I am asked at a BBQ where I get my protein/calcium/iron if not from a slab of meat like they do I’ll say “well , I just I pull it all out of my my arse, actually :) But….. Um, that would be childish and I try to be kind to animals … and err decorum. :)

Hi Heather and Dr McDougall! Thank you! I had someone tell me on Sunday to not lose any more weight! I still have 20 or more pounds to lose! lol They also thought that being skinny caused osteoporosis, oh my, no! Lori-former fat cheating fruitarian

[@RhinoHiker]

Thank you Dr. McDougall. I haven’t gotten to the point where this issue has become an immediate concern, but I expect it’s not to far down the road. I have found your method to be so transformational, exceeding my expectations. I can’t thank you enough!

Bread and pasta without added oil or fat do not make you fat. I eat as much of those as I want and I'm only 5'8" and 125 pounds.

[@ianbryant]

Facts.

[@smallfootprint2961]

Most of us don't have this problem, but it's a reminder to eliminate oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds; flour products, including pasta if needed, and dried fruits. I listen to too many people who consider themselves experts. Now I've got to get re directed back to the Maximum Weight Loss Plan that will let the weight go. I get off track often, and it's easy to include these items, and call them whole foods. Might be for some people but is weight loss wisdom for me. Thank you, Dr. McDougall.

[@jonestacara]

I did and it’s the reason I got off the diet

[@blee309]

There maybe more people than you think that got too thin. I am one and I hate it but I also have stomach issues leftover from 2 rounds with covid!

[@darleenowens6137]

Yes, I had to stop eating cashews and almonds. It took me a while to realize I was gaining weight from them, because I was told they were healthy foods, but they are foods you can easily eat too much of. It's interesting to hear avocados will put weight on you, because I recently started eating more of those-in my smoothies or by itself. I'll have to stop eating those too while trying to lose weight. Thanks.

Could you please talk about sleep issues sometime? You always stress the importance of sleep, and i‘m going to assume that the healthier one gets on the wfpb diet, the better one‘ sleep will get naturally, but i‘d love to know more in depth about how bad health disrupts healthy sleeping and how to cope until the issue sorts itself out from your perspective specifically. Preferably, i‘d look forward to informations that go beyond avoiding alcohol/caffeine, having regular sleeping patterns, a good sleeping environment and all the common sense advice.

[@blee309]

For me I need to make sure I eat a lot of good carbs for dinner so I sleep better. If I need a snack before bed I have one but rarely need it!

[@anthonywalton3264]

I’m a younger athletic male and I’m not losing any weight. I’m athletic I eat about 2500 calories today in rice and fruit and I’m still not loosing weigh. Am I tracking my calories wrong? Or am I doing something wrong. My diet is more styled after Walter kempner.

[@utrnagel9441]

Try Quinoa with sweet potatoes and a lot of green's , that could help, Blessings

[@jeremymetcalf2502]

You don't need to track calories. Take a plate, fill one quarter with fruit, one with a bean source (protein), one with a vegetable, and one with starch (either potatoes, pasta, rice etc.) Pick from each one equally until your satisfied. If you don't eat it all, save it for later. When you get hungry, finish the plate, or make a new plate. It's important to equally rotate. If you don't you might not get enough protein and your brain might think you need to eat more, or vice versa. Change up the plate as much as possible. Eat as many different types of each category as possible. If you find yourself stuffing food down because you're trying to meet macros, you're eating too much. Truth no one wants to talk about, no one really knows how many "calories" a particular food is. Our stomachs don't burn food with fire. So stop counting them. Eat until you feel content, without your stomach being stretched to the moon.

Which one has more of plant based nutrients like minerals, vitamins, flavonoids, phytosterols, etc...? refined carbohydrates or Olive oil? Is the body fat created due to insulin spike after eating refined carbs really better than fat sourced from Olive/avocado/coconut oil?

[@dj-fe4ck]

Plain white rice and non whole wheat has much more vitamins and minerals than oil. Those also don't make you fat if you're not eating them with fat.

[@ياسر-ه5ظ1ذ]

@@dj-fe4ck the amount of vitamins and minerals from unenriched white flour is negligible especially after exposing it to high heat which degrades even more of the heat sensitive compounds. On the contrary, the fatty sources can be eaten raw and if you can get it unrefined/unfiltered (such as coconut butter) you can get higher mineral content

[@dj-fe4ck]

@@ياسر-ه5ظ1ذ if you compare 1000 calories of unenriched white pasta with 1000 calories of olive oil or coconut oil, the 1000 calories of unenriched white pasta has 0.2 mg of Vitamin B1, 4.6 mg of Vitanin B3, 0.4 mg of B6, 3.5 mg of iron, 0.8 mg of copper, 3.8 mg of zinc, 143 mg of magnesium, and 170 mcg of selenium.

But if " healthy fats" are fattening,there not healthy.🤷🏻‍♀️

[@GlennGJ100]

if you are underweight they are

[@PianistTanooki]

“Fattening” and “healthy” are two different things… don’t know how you don’t understand that. Yes, something can be fattening and healthy. Avocados, nuts, and seeds are indeed fattening and will help you put on extra weight, but they’re also healthy in that they’ve got fiber and a bunch of other nutrients. They’re just… high fat. They’re great when you’re too thin, because they’ll help you gain weight in such a way where you’re not consuming empty calorie junk food. Vegetables are healthy, but you wouldn’t recommend someone who’s got a BMI below 18.5 to consume half their diet as vegetables if that’s what they’re already doing if their goal is to gain weight. Just because large portions of vegetables would *NOT* be ideal for a person in this situation doesn’t stop vegetables from being healthy… in the same way that avocados, nuts, and seeds aren’t right for those who are severely overweight, but are still healthy foods.

I started a keto diet a few months ago. It was a weak keto diet. I only changed a few things in addition to stopping eating 3 bowls of cereal a day. I was 190. Now I'm 175 and still dropping. I stopped any form of the diet at about 177 but continue to lose. It's kind of reaking me out. I'll try some of these tips. I'm about 6 foot tall.
