Dr. M. makes so much sense. l am so happy to have found this couple. It's only been less 1 month. l watched many videos and come to know Heather and Chef AJ. My next grocery haul was potatoes, rice, corn and beans. And this is what lve been eating. New menu for me and new videos. l believe in you, l truly do.

Keep going, keep going, it takes awhile to fine tune it to get to desired weight loss!

[@bonniemullen4990]

I agree 👍💯

[@Destinedmind]

I can never go back to eating less. I eat so much potatoes, w Sweet potatoes, rice, etc… my plates are always full on the McDougall lifestyle. I used to always be hungry. Now I’m full & satisfied. And I look better.

[@RiDankulous]

I used to eat lots of baked potato slices (thick potato chips) and need to get some of that back into my diet. It is filling. I have a good rotation of food now that include whole wheat pasta, black beans and whole wheat bread plus fruits and vegetables.

Megan. I had a low iron problem a few years ago and was told the only way that can happen is from bleeding internally. I can only imagine that taking a high dose ibuprofin caused me to bleed from my stomach. It took time to build it back, but I used a liquid iron from the doctors office, but you can find it in the health food store too. Make sure it's from organic sources. Also snack on raisins, etc. It took a few years to get my iron stores back to normal. ps. You need to find a better doctor. One who is more up to date on these matters. Good luck.

[@itssammierose]

I dont understand why people dont want to eat a starch based diet yet will literally measure their food and feel hungry. I used to yoyo diet and when i found this diet 7 years ago it blew my mind. I dont get how it doesnt make other people so excited? 😅

[@pastryshack551]

People are ot rushing for his diet because it raises ther sugar very high 17 18 how would you follow. I love rice, roasted potatoes spaghetti yet if I use these foods and it does not help me. Mary,s recipes are ok if you are not diabetic. If you are starch base, you have to be working in the fields all day which he fails to recognize. The mediterian and Chinese work from morning till night that's why they cou.d eat so much starc I find him to be so rude, he tried to humiliate drs like dr Fuhrman on yt, I wonder why these people even talk to him. The other dr was fat because dr Atkins ate many types of junk food that's why he gain so much weight. Watch the British dr unwin yt he is very good

[@itssammierose]

@@pastryshack551 i dont work the fields and i lost 70 pounds on Dr Mcdougalls starch solution. I had an amazing pregnancy and lost all baby weight after. You probably find him “rude” because he doesnt sugar coat anything. In a world where people are people pleasing and afraid to hurt everyone- Dr McDougall is refreshing, in my opinion.

[@pastryshack551]

@@itssammierose all I am saying, if you are a diabetic you cannot eat the way he says are you a diabetic a banana has about 6 tea spoon of sugar, 150 grams of rice has 10 tea spoon of sugar. He himself said he is rude not me, because I really don't care. Many of these drs are on lots of medication for sugar and high BP, so they are in a different category, they can eat all the starch they want. When he speaks, ever one copy his ideas like dr Gerson whom he said he does not know, but he knows the sister. If dr Gerson were alive today he would be close to 100, so I don't see how he could have coppied his information. This man was struck down back in his day showing how to cure cancer. Your weight lost has nothing to do with diabetes. If his starch diet help you lose weight that's good, but if you are a diabetic and the starch diet does not raise your sugar without medication that would be a surprised to me because I have tried He is insulting to many dr. Especially if their opinion is different. I threw in the towel when he pointed out that dr lustig is fat and obese, it was not called for. Because the dr is against sugar.

@@itssammierose I ask you if you were a diabetic, but you did not answer the question,because this is way we know what's happening. I am not a hater of the dr. When I was not a diabetic I was on his list of foods. But now my menu has to change.

I would have loved to see Atkins reactions if he had said that!!- So if you have a yeast problem, just keep doing your diet and use some topical cream? I can do that. I'm hoping it will go away.

[@Nonessential888]

Most candida diets exclude most fruits and starches along with sugar and processed foods. Does this conflict with the McDougall diet? Thank you.

[@Nonessential888]

If we eat starches fruits and vegetables, aren’t we creating a high sugar environment for the candida? Are you saying candida only thrives if there is high blood sugar? What about the sugar in the gut? Thank you.

[@aliciacarmona5004]

Yes u are right.it does turns into sugar.

[@aliciacarmona5004]

Cholesterol is a good thing we need it . The good fats. We cannot eat too much starch period even carbs just in moderation Because carbs starches Converts into sugar what is he saying . I know what clogs our arteries vessels calcium builds up too much sugar junk food too . Seed oils. They look older than there age . Meat doesn’t clog your arteries is the bad food fast food diet the bad fats what is this man is saying. Way back in the days they really thought cholesterol was bad , eat low fats that’s not true that’s what doctors tell us is all about money so u can get sick and rely on meds .

We used to do a 40 hour famine here where you get people to sponsor you and you fast for 40 hours with the money going to a charity in Africa. It was hard but people all over New Zealand would do it and a lot of money was raised.

[@rollin19]

Haha you cant beat that hunger drive and Dr McDougall is right. You know what to do when you are hungry,you got the taste buds that tell you what you been wanting to Like he says you may as well give in to what you love the most about food. Please explain why you gotta have a fresh tomato,lettuce,onions,on a fresh bun with your burger? Because you love sugar,and starch is what you love. Trust in yourself to make a simple choice by choosing a diet full of fiber,whole plant based cuisine (starch). Make yourself some bean stew,you can try it out of a can. If you want something really tasty try some beans add enough water and cook it,you make yourself good stew that you can freeze and have everyday. Get yourself low sodium tomato sauce with whole tomatoes freeze it cook it make yourself some pasta. Frozen fruits and veggies,fill the freezer. Lots of potatoes,cans of corn,get lots of rice and store it. Cracked wheat,greens,the list goes on. Just go full throttle and don't look back. If you got craving for junk food,get yourself some dates,enjoy the taste of sugar,make sure you got lots of fruit on hand,bananas,oranges,mangoes,pear,peaches,etc. Even canned fruit if you cant have it fresh but just stock up on it. For your canned fruit get your cans BPA free,no galvanized metal, make sure there's no added sugars and no sucrose because it taste like crap. No one on this planet can ignore their craving for sugar and if you want a pie,make it with fruit,add some cane sugar,cook it,make yourself a pie that is literally fat free other than the crust has some. But dont eat too much of it,or you your gonna end up getting sick with some stomach issues,probably some explosive diarrhea or some cold chills. Just understand your gut and know the difference between plant smoothie or whole fiber which is your best bet for good gut health. Just stay away from high fructose soft drinks and jellies,choose sugar can if you want a soda and if you want some jam get fruit pectin. Once you understand how much we love sugar,your pain will subside,your bp will probably go down and you will get better. Because I am committed 100% to a plant-full diet,no oils,no processed vegan crap!! And nothing else has served me better even when I went off the track,it will only cause you pain and depression and guilt,and even anger issues.

High starch foods, which is corn 🌽, 🍚 rice and potatoes, is a cause of candida. These foods have a lot of mucus once they break down.
