McDougall's Medicine: How Long Can You Live on Potatoes?

[@julielincoln3789]

So grateful to be able to still watch Dr. McDougall with Mary. May his legacy live on through you Heather and all the podcasts out there. Both of your parents have been amazing. Take care of your beautiful mother. My sincere condolences to your entire family❤❤❤❤❤

[@paulginsberg6942]

You are all national treasures. We need to get this information more widely circulated.

[@judiththomas2258]

I just wanted to say thank you, last September I was 'pre-diabetic' & the doctor was recommending putting me on diabetes meds. I started your way of eating and my blood glucose has dropped right down to just about normal numbers and I have lost 14kgs. I won't go back to how I used to eat.😘

[@rachelcoleman4693]

Did you do eat only potatoes at first?

[@judiththomas2258]

@@rachelcoleman4693 no ,mainly potatoes but other veges and starches too. I am 20kg down now & follow a starch based vegan diet.

[@smallfootprint2961]

So glad to see Dr. and Mrs. McDougall doing so well. Thank you both for the life giving information you continue to give so unselfishly. It's great to get the inspiration.

[@bonniemullen4990]

I agree I love this show 💘

[@Amanda_downunder]

I tune in every week ! that recent presentation Dr McDougall did on hunger and why surgery / drugs doesn't work ... was brilliant ! I hope those keto people wake up and change to starch-based. Blessings to the McDougalls ! 💙💛💯

[@aggie1926]

I am keto and diabetic. After hearing this Dr I'm going vegan. I always felt vegan was the ideal lifestyle but everyone talking about the fat needed for the brain.

[@Amanda_downunder]

@@aggie1926 - different diets work for different people. For some, vegan may work ! for others, it's keto or carnivore ! I wish u luck ! Some can't handle the carbs at all !

[@KittenLord69]

Mcdougall and Denis Burkitt changed my life. I will forever be grateful for these 2 heroes.

[@THEduke771]

Dr McDougall is a legend 👍🏻

[@blee309]

Mary is the trendsetter. She developed so many of the recipes that I see used today. Just people repeating their version of them. Thank you both so much and you must be so very proud of Heather!

[@tsamchoetsamchoe2909]

Before I can walk only 1/2an hr but after changing diet to vegan I can walk 2 hrs and feeling so energetic .I have weak heart problem .my Dr is surprised when he see the heart report changes after years.❤

[@sweetpea8032]

Dr McDougal I am 76 years old and have followed your program for the past three years. I want to thank you for adding years to my life! I lost 45 lbs on your program! I am so greatful to you! The only medication I currently take is a blood pressure pill which I tried to come off. My blood pressure was low for awhile and then crept up to 158/80 and my dr said to go back on the Ibersartin 75 mg. I only take half daily and my blood pressure is 130/70. I wish I could get off this medication.

[@jgrysiak6566]

Did u cut back on salt? My dentist said as long as the bottom number is under 100, I am fine. If u have a lot of stress in your life , blood pressure will be higher

[@LibraryTechAnna]

So much knowledge. I look forward to Sunday nights! Thank you!

[@tsamchoetsamchoe2909]

I m feeling so healthy and strong after changing my diet into vegan from vegetarian despite my weak heart

Hi family! Because you guys are my family from my heart. Thank you so much for all you give us ❤❤❤

[@bonniemullen4990]

Dr. Mc Dougall diet is the best ❤🎉I feel fantastic on it ‼️👌‼️

[@jeffreydrhodes]

My vision has not gotten any worse since I started the McDougall Program

[@knockingseeker]

Make sure your eating adequate vitamin a and do not eat high gi starch sources despite his claims. Boiled Beans and intact whole grains like pearl barley will be much better than flour products or white rice or even potatoes.

[@jeffreydrhodes]

@@knockingseeker I eat brown rice instead white rice because their is more fiber

[@rephaelrechitzky9763]

Hi McDougall family. Always looking forward to meet you here and listen to your fantastic knowledge. I am looking forward to take the McDougall program in July. ❤

GREAT job tonight Dr. M!!! I think I’ll stop worrying about Omega 3s,DHA and EPA. You are a wealth of very helpful medical and nutritional knowledge!!! Thank you McDougall family!!!

I always totally enjoy everyone of these programs. I was wondering about what Dr. Klaper had just said about dha/epa. Wonderful program

The best way to not get pregnant if you don’t want the side effects of hormonal contraception is to use condoms. A man who insists he won’t wear a condom for you isn’t worth sleeping with. Preventing a pregnancy should be the responsibility of both parties, not just the woman’s burden.

[@Nina-hk7ub]

AMEN!

[@Teresa-pg7wb]

The best way to not get pregnant is to not have sex! 😂

[@hdodge6925]

Another reason a woman might be having pms/painful periods after switching to a plant-based diet is alcohol. It is very inflammatory and when I cut it out, after going fully plant-based and lost all the weight I needed to, removing alcohol cut my menstrual pain down to a 1 or 2 out of 10.

[@SvetlanaAntoine-pr4gq]

I had the worst periods on 100% organic Whole Food very well balanced plant diet ! No alcohol ! It didn’t work for me no matter how I tried!

I have elevated my bed for my Gerd but it's ALWAYS caused when I eat TOO MUCH....or TOO QUICKLY....when I've done that, I drink tea made from a big hunk of fresh ginger or munch on fresh ginger to cut to the chase

I’m 78, 35 I had a total hysterectomy due to an IUD, the Dalkon Shield, after that, I did listen to doctors and that’s why I became vegan and now I’m plant-based, I personally would never get an IUD.

What is your ideas and thoughts about removing things such as brown rice, tomatoes, and other foods high in lectin? The reason I ask is because it seems like lectins can penetrate the walls of digestion and cause leaky gut?

Can you do a video on acrylamide and eating potatoes please? 🥔🥔🥔

[@matthewbehrens8759]

A part of the paper said the potatoes were supplemented with butter, pork fat, oil. Any informed thoughts?

[@jill1452]

I’ve just started trying cashew powder in sauce-type recipes that typically call for whole cashews. The powder is lower in fat, but still adds something to the sauce. Maybe a good option?

[@johnthompson16]

Eat the real stuff Jill, not powder. Then you benefit from all the good, natural ingredients. Have a great day...

[@obsessedwithhealth]

Isn't the powder just ground up cashews?

[@Atheria444]

Back in the summer of 2008 I had a non hormonal IUD inserted for a short time because it was horrible! I had severe pain/cramping with some nonstop bleeding for weeks and I told the doctor that if she didn't remove the evil thing, I'd pull it out myself. I live in NM now where there is no one I'm remotely attracted to, so it's not an issue...and there's the whole menopausal thing. LOL

[@Atheria444]

Birth control pills are WORSE. I had horrible bloating and became dangerously depressed when I was young. Within 48 hours of quitting the pill my mood improved dramatically.

Is it OK to eat raw organic potatoes? Thanks!

[@kardste8114]

Dr. McDougall- I just heard about research from Catholic University in Belgium published in journal Cell Metabolism “ that Omega 3 DHA is able to slow cancer tumor growth in mice. I don’t know exact date, but in last couple years. Can you find this research? Thank you!! Research done at UC Lovain in Belgium.

[@theartificialsociety3373]

Reduce protein if you want to slow cancer. But omega 3, doesnt sound like any mechanism would result in slower cancer unless it reduced certain hormones. Regardless, it would likely be a minor effect compared to reducing protein and depends on cancer. Plus, these kinds of research are not that good in general.

[@dianadesilva4877]

Hi Heather! I'm sorry I missed last Sunday's video, but can you please ask your father, Dr. Mcdougall, "Could I reverse abdominal scar tissue (adhesions) caused by a full abdominal hysterectomy 30 years ago with a starch-based diet?" Thank you!

[@chazlon5061]

I guess 77 is the answer

[@greensmoothieparty]

The referenced Kon potato study from 1927 included 120 to 150 grams of butter or pork fat on their potatoes! That's 1200 to 1500 calories per day of FAT. Was this study funded by big butter or big pork fat? 🤢

[@garetcrossman6626]

Period.😂

Dr. McDougall is wrong to recommend starvation to women. The question was about PCOS, not PMS, also. Either way, starvation is not "cool" as a treatment goal!!!! 😞
