Mary’s Mini, Webinar 03/24/16

[@VJWLPN1]

I love how Dr. McDougall looks at his wife with so much love! Notice how they glow when they smile at one another!

[@pamelatiblier5081]

While I respect Dr M's life work and passion for helping others, I have to ask the question- Why do they look so OLD?? He is only 68, not sure hold old Mary is, but they look much older. I can't imagine them living healthfully to 100!! Reply

[@smallfootprint2961]

It's all relative, Isn't it. Depends on your perspective. If you think plump is youthful, they don't fit that scenario. If you think gray hair isn't youthful, they don't fit. If you love that they are growing old together, slim and healthy...like I do, they are a great example of living into your 70s with vigor. Most of their contemporaries have died so you don't see aging, slim, healthy people any more. I see people in their 40s who look like and probably will die before they get to 60/70. I'm 78....not slim enough yet but, having lost 80 lbs, I'm better off than most. I'm gray but am a vigorous 78 yr old. How old are you? Can you work like they do? I hope so but, would like to hear your story.

[@marbat9612]

Pamela Tiblier Dr mcdougall looks his age with out the beer belly most man in his age and younger carry around. his wife looks amazing and youthful for her age naturally

[@EuroKitty33]

My grandfather only lived until his 60's and my grandmother though she did live until her 90's never looked as good as these two. I am sure they could put on camera makeup and glam themselves up for these sessions but they look healthy and natural to me.

[@wholescot]

@@pamelatiblier5081 That is interesting - I was thinking they don't look their age!!

[@pantameowmeow.s.1149]

These webinars with Gustavo were the highlight of my weekends! I have not watched a regular t.v. since my teens. I cannot believe this was over six years ago. I'm ready to watch them all again.

[@crazyfarmgirl606]

R.I.P John Mcdougall The man the machine the legend Thank you for helping my family as well as so many❤ I continue to share your message and give away your books to those who need it😊

[@purewonka]

I met a young man in his late teens on a flight from Africa to NYC. He was traveling to the USA to go to school. He was so excited about the food being served on the plane. He was awarded a scholarship to attend school in the USA and had never been on a plane. He told me that all he ever ate at home was rice and some fruit and vegetables grown by his uncle. I asked him a lot about the specifics of his diet. He was the picture of health. Perfect teeth. Beautiful skin. Trim and fit. He insisted that all he ate was rice with seasonings and the occasional fruit and veggies offered by his uncle.

[@smallfootprint2961]

Another example of high quality immigrants/students coming here. These are people we need to embrace and follow. We have so much to learn from them.

[@marbat9612]

small footprint he is not an immigrant he come to USA to study. Sadly by the time he will go back home he will not be as healthy and fit as he is now.

[@smallfootprint2961]

That's why I said..."slash, students." Guess you missed that.

[@aaronfaster1]

Can you elaborate? What kind of rice? What kinds of seasonings? Did they use salt?

[@oneofthosecreativetypes24]

@@aaronfaster1 Use whatever seasonings you enjoy. I think by "seasonings" they mean REAL, UNADULTURED spices.

[@lizr2551]

I did Mary's mini and lost 10 lbs in 10 days. I chose potatoes and still eat them at least 2x daily.

[@stephaniepianostudio]

Liz R Is there a Marus Mini Book?

[@Alykat736]

On this mono dieting topic- I'm 40 I went vegan at age 15 and lived on rice for every single meal for many years, sometimes I'd add some veggies or fruit but they looked more like a condiment. Sometimes I switched to baked potatoes and another time hot cereals but I always ate the same starch for every meal. I got married at 26 so I became much more diverse but always was and am a whole food produce vegan eater. I did not have any deficiencies nor did I even think to supplement until I got into my 30s and started to study nutrition. So mono dieting on real plant food that has enough energy (aka calories) not only works but is very enjoyable.

[@Alykat736]

I ate white rice all those years. I don't eat cooked food anymore, except once a month I may add some steamed veggies onto a salad. I just do what works for me. Ideally mono meals but there's so much good plant foods it's hard to eat just one item ☺️

Aly W. M

[@smallfootprint2961]

Aly W. Very interesting. Have you had your blood tests done recently. I'll bet Dr. McDougall would be interested in those results, as would I. Do you lose a lot of weight? Also...sorry to be so nosy but...Not eating cooked food any more, would you call yourself a raw vegan or fruitarian? Certainly we don't need the variety we have been told we do. You may be proof of that. I would be interested to hear more.

[@Alykat736]

No i have not seen doc's, since I'm not ill - I dont go. I went in 2 yrs ago to request blood work out of my own curiosity to see what mines like and the doc said since I don't have any illness nor symptoms he can NOT order a blood test for me. Really confirmed "sick care" for me - it's not "health care". I've been raw vegan, mostly fruitarian the last 11 plus yrs. when I intially became vegan, when I turned 15, I lost weight unitentually - I've been same size no matter what my vegan diet looked like weight around 100-108 and I'm 5'2. Hope that helps 💞

[@wrshpr4lf]

Everything Dr. McDougal said after the nursing mother question was SO TRUE and SO COMMON SENSE.

[@purewater77887]

Mary is just lovely. In fact so is Mr. McDougall.

Update: Blood test results have just arrived: HbA1c 4,6% (fasted blood glucose 64 mg/dl), LDL cholesterol 68 mg/dl, triglycerides 77 mg/dl, total cholesterol 140 mg/dl. No more hypertension, no more prediabetes! And, of course, it is nice to be lean and fit! Thanks, Dr. McDougall!

[@helenpennock2012]

"Why would you appetite be wrong? It makes no sense". That is true wisdom right there. Thank you

[@iwentvegan4481]

Even though you were fired you should still do the presentation on your channel. I would love to hear it.

[@cindystrother7710]

LOVE SEEING DR MCDOUGALL AND MARY THEY ARE FABULOUS PEOPLE AND THEY SURE DO CARE ABOUT PEOPLE AND THERE HEALTH

[@abbykuo4884]

Yes, when we greet in Chinese or Mandarin, we say, "Have you eaten your rice?" literally.

[@NessaRossini...]

Instead of buying frozen brown rice you can cook a big pot of it, then get freezer bags and use a measuring cup and scoop out 1/2 cup (or whatever size you want) and set in the freezer bag. Do this until you have enough rice mounds in your bag. Leave space between the rice mounds (lay bag on it's side), close the freezer bag seal, and freeze. This way you just pull out the amount you need from your freezer to heat up when needed.

[@SaneMillennial]

Hmm, I never thought of freezing rice, but I want to make it and potatoes a much bigger staple of my diet going forward as I love both, but never eat them enough and have been eating too much other crap and need to really stick to this starch based solution diet.

[@NessaRossini...]

@@SaneMillennial freezing works great. I've bought a small electric rice cooker and just make it fresh and eat that for a couple of days.

[@quietstormaps]

Very informative and Gustavo does a great job with the interviews. Dr. McDougall really loves his wife and I love how he gives her praise and expresses how he's still attracted to her after all the years they've been together. I thought that all potatoes (sweet and white) could be eaten while on the Mini, but I see that you stick to one or the other. Make it as boring as possible, lol.

[@northtexas4110]

We have potatoes sweet and idaho, frozen mixed veggies, canned green beans, broccli, we try to change it around for instance I cook the joy pasta with canned tomatoes, garlic, onions, green peppers, italian seasoning, veggies on the side. Fridays we have sweet potatoes & broccli. Salads too. Wednesdays we have our mexican food, brown rice with Braggs natural soy sauce, cooked onions, mixed veggies or cut up cooked carrots mixed in and for spice I use picante sauce, black beans and cumin and no oil corn tortillas. Sundays mashed potatoes and Mary's gravy, veggies and salad. Other meals we have soups made out of leftovers, such as mexican soup from the leftovers, minestrone soup from left overs all I do is add enough water, and another can of tomatoes added to these leftovers. We have bought Cosco's lg. bags of organic frozen blueberries and cherries what ever they have plus frozen organic mixed veggies, corn, green beans and broccoli plus their Kirkland canned green beans and canned tomatoes. Very economical and I don't have to shop but once a month for these items. This is my 22 day of McDougling and I have lost 21 pounds and I feel so much better, energy, arthritic pain lessened a lot. Cleaning out my arteries and no more terrible painful heartburn gone completely. I have no gall bladder so it is a blessing to eat this way for me. No oil, no meats, zero fats, my husband eats bread I don't because flour causes heartburn, but I don't miss it. We have oatmeal, with frozen fruit, cinnamon and brown sugar. We love it everyday and look forward to eating everyday and we are full and satisfied. Its so funny I can tell if a food has oil such as breads, pancakes, ect. because I have immediate heartburn. But I can have oatmeal flour and rice flour. Again we eat every thing organic most of the time. Thanks be to God for y'all caring so much and sharing!

[@eveny119]

She said on the 10 days you could use a little sugar, salt ,salsa, soy sauce, ketchup. with the starch. And you can have veggies too, sounds like a normal meal.

[@Cs39927]

It's the most undiet diet I've ever done. Shockingly I've gotten more comment on cutting trash out than slamming for fast food... oh well I'm doing this for me not them

[@lizr2551]

Love love LOVE Mary!!!

[@mtm00]

What a delightfu lady; love you both Dr. John and Mary. And thank you Gustavo.

[@jeannetteshealthyover50]

My husband and I did this for 10 days and it was wonderful. He lost 10 lbs and I lost 6. We never got tired of potatoes and believe me, I found different ways to prepare them. So simple though. Nothing to really think about or stress over. And it really reset our palates. We're going to do this again because over time we went back to our varied starch based diet with richer plant foods mixed in. I just like the simplicity. Thank you Dr. and Mary McDougall, you have changed our lives.

[@wfpbprincess]

Hi There, My husband and I are going to do this starting Dec 1st. I’m thinking nuts are out of the question for this, lol. Nuts are my downfall. We buy unsalted roasted cashews for our African Grey and I just can’t keep my hand out of the container. Haha!

[@cindystrother7710]

THERE LOSS FOR FIRING YOU YOU ARE THE GREATEST DR MCDOUGALL AND MARY

[@musclehard1]

yes the sound and video quality is good for me

[@BarbElgin]

Dr. McD, you are a hoot! It's great seeing Mary with you.

[@Chugosh]

I have been eating my head off for a week, mostly starches, maybe too much fruit, and green and yellow things, like peas and carrots. I have gone from 216 pounds to 214 pounds, Friday morning to Friday morning. Narrowing down the choices to just yams, or just potatoes, I could see how that would slow me down a bit. Still I feel great and satisfied. Far better than when I was eating meat and eggs as a part of a strictly regulated "food addicts" diet for the last three years. Thank you. Glad I found your stuff here on You Tube shortly after deciding to go vegan.

[@joshuabombino3557]

Get Mary in every webinar! She is even better than the doctor!

Excellent video! What a treat to have Mary as a guest. Yes the audio is inconsistent but, easily to adjust along the way. The knowledge Dr. McDougall shares far outweighs any technical issues. Great job Gustavo and thank you all for your time and work spreading the truth!

I know it isn't funny, but I get so tickled every time the mention of Dr McDougall getting fired from the obesity convention, is so amusing I just get so tickled. The good Doctor pointing out how fat these diet doctors are, is so hilarious, I just love it. Puts a grin on my face every time I hear or think of it.

[@dhiradas]

No fruit is a change from the 2006 MM guidelines. I understand the reason for it though and can certainly get through 10 days without it. Staying in MWL for the time being. I look forward to your webinar on that. Thank you so much for everything!

I cook my brown rice like pasta--with a lot of water then drain the excess. It's great. You don't have to watch it. It doesn't stick or burn on the pot.

[@signmeupruss]

We bought a pan with a ceramic surface and it's great. We saute without oils and we pan fry potatoes with no sticking! Thanks, Mary for the tip.

[@auntdayskitchen6315]

Hi I really wish that Dr. McDougall would give the exact talk that he proposed to the obesity conference so we could see what got him fired I’m assuming it’s telling the truth he’s really good at that whether or not they want to hear it

[@maureenk1635]

And Gustavo, you are a wonderful presenter. And thanks so much to Dr. and Mary McDougall. If only I'd known about this diet earlier. My mom, who I very much resemble, also suffered from Migraine and went on to have a lot of Cardio-vascular disease with by-pass, meds, etc. and was in the hospital many times. She would have loved this diet, and I really feel she would have benefitted so much from eating this way.

[@arontesfay2520]

I'm not sure what complaints you got about the audio but I think the sound is great. Great job! Also I find that you get the best sound quality when using headphones instead of the speakers on your computer/phone.

[@melovescoffee]

You're doing a great job, Gustavo. We are all so spoiled with filmstudio quality but the real point of these recordings is to get the message across and that's all it needs to do and you're doing it well. I don't see any problems with it at all. (we are all a little perfectionist inside, right?) I looked forward to Mary all week! Thank you for the tips about the cooking with no oil, i know John has said it so much, no oil! *cringe* ok ok! I will change my ways now and buy a new pan and throw my frying pans out. They are old and they stick, no good. I am eating a wonderful bowl of sourkraut right now that was cooked the right way. It doesn't taste that different at all! I am going to try to adjust all my favorite dishes this way. Slowly we are getting somewhere. Thank you for your generosity to share all this with us. I am growing food too, a lot actually. It's going to be a great eating year, i can feel it. Love and support to all others.

[@Wardiesart]

Thank you both for the very informative video. I am a great admirer of both Dr. McDougall and Mary and have been pretty much exclusively on the McDougall plan for several years. My health has improved, weight dropped, and energy boundless, but my question is, how does one stop from becoming too lean (read skinny). My kids worry about me at age 70 when I become too lean, and they encourage me to put a little weight on. Surely a little body fat is not undesirable? I don't want to just wither into a skin and bones person, especially as I move into late life, but I also don't want to endanger my health.

[@highcarbschwabe658]

My wife's favourite brown/red rice based breakfast: Large bowl of rice, a few pureed ripe bananas (add a slice of lemon to the blender), a tblsp of ceylon cinnamon, a cup of blueberries. My 19 month old son loves it, too.

How did it go for you? Did you lose weight?

[@NarrelleChain]

No technical problems now in 2023, I just started on your programme last night, I feel great, but cheated tiny bit, but I need to do that as I think too much shock to my system not a good idea, I don't eat much, but a few wrong things, I have severe back pain by end of day, add, I'm tired, I am 66, I have heartburn, mood swings, a stimulant doesn't help, depression, so I need answers, u guys seem most honest. I won't eat meat which these credentialed people are advocating, its insane 😳 out there!

[@darrow3065]

Thank you!

[@festivalmama]

The interviewer interrupted her right in the middle of describing the diet! When I search on the website, it brings me to this interview!

[@sandracarli1110]

If you want to cook brown rice, soak it overnight, drain the water, add fresh water (1 part of rice 1 part of water). It will cook in half the time and will be much cleaner. Dr Greger recommends it also on his website.

[@3looish]

I will try Mary's mini soon. I'm hoping I can go crazy enough and do it for a full month

[@cimesq]

At the 40:00 point , this is the 10 day plan. Choose one simple starch for 10 days such as potatoe, sweet potatoe, quinoa OR rice. Use this one starch 3 times a day and to this you add a green, such as brócoli, frozen peas. Then can add simple condiments such as mustard or salsa. No fruits for 10 days.

[@MadlyinLovewithJesus-1953]

About 12-14 years ago when I was too broke and could not really afford food, I subsisted on beans (different kinds of beans), but beans only, for some time. Can't remember how long now, maybe a month or six weeks max 95% of my diet was beans (with onions cooked in). It truly DID become boring, and I lost a lot of weight at that time -- but have no desire to purposely eat such a boring way again!!! That's okay, though. I don't seem to overeat much on the starch diet and I'm not in a hurry to lose weight. I KNOW it will come off, because I have so MUCH of it and this way of eating is phenomenally different from any way I have EVER eaten as a lifelong fat eater.

[@heidiwhite695]

Wow she's adorable!

[@jamesharken1140]

awesome couple

[@velo1337]

i have had serious issues eating NON ORGANIC potatoes when i started to do the starch solution. all problems were gone after switching to organic ones. i learnt later that they put specific chemicals on the non organic ones to reduce sprouding... which i think im allergic to if i consume them in big quantities and thats what you do on a starch based diet :)
