Immediatly fired my dietician after reading your books, she said there was no way I could lose weight eating beans, more than 2 portions of fruit, whole grains and without meat, she basically starved me into a keto diet and protein suplements without telling the actual truth, maybe she didnt know or maybe she preferred the bigger commision from the "healthy snack and protein" company that sponsored her

Your digestive system is meant to eat meat, not vegetation. It’s the reason your ancestors had to ferment vegetables in order to get ant nutrients out of them. MEAT is your only option for true nutrients. We are not cows with multiple stomachs and we don’t regurgitate our food either.

Biochemically 100 cal from carrots is not the same as 100 cal from a Coke. They are biochemically different in their composition and the interaction with our digestive system is different. They might have the same "caloric value" when looked through a physics lens of the definition of a Calorie as a unit of measurement (the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1ml of water by 1 degree)

After recently finding your work and improving the foundations of my diet I am gobsmacked by how much you've improved my physical and mental state with little effort. Starting every morning with a bowl of oats, banana, nuts, seeds, berries and flaxseed has changed my entire approach to food throughout the day. I literally don't crave snacks or feel hungry until at least lunch, giving me time and energy to prepare another nutritious meal, accumulating even more benefits!

​@QueenShay2022woah, you don't know what you're talking about. A lot of people go vegan (zero animal products) but still eat processed and high fats. WFPB means living foods that are whole, not processed. Oil is highly processed but uninformed vegans use over 40% more oil that SAD.

Awesome presentation! Dr. G and his book How Not to Die is the reason I returned to veganism after being seduced into the high-fat, low-carb paleo diet.

That's wonderful! I know how seductive the paleo or low carb diet can seem, as it tends to get more media coverage. I agree with you, the best I've ever felt was eating whole food plant based. I've fallen a bit to the wayside the last couple of months. Lots of processed vegan junk, and I finally got sick of feeling so lacklustre. I'm cold ALL THE TIME, especially my feet and legs. I don't have any energy. So I'm back to eating WFPB. I used to always have toasty feet, and so much energy that I HAD to exercise, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep, so hopefully I can get back soon to that great feeling!

I’m a doctor and had to essentially learn myself how to lose weight as education on nutrition and exercise science takes up a trivial amount of time in med school.

I went from nearly 240 to 195 and acid reflux, sleep apnea, and joint pain are all essentially gone.

[@happycook6737]

[@Thee-_-Outlier]

At least you admit you have no clue when it comes to exercise and diet. That explains why you're a vegan. Good luck Doc, you probably look emaciated and 20 years older than your age like Dr. greger. FYI, not being a fat slob doesn't make anyone an expert on health and exercise. I'd love to see how fit you actually are Mr. Expert Doctor. Keep in mind muscle mass almost directly correlates to overall all cause mortality. I can't wait till the day you realize you've been betrayed by your smug dietary choice. You're probably a vegan who cycles, runs or invests most of his time in some sort or steady state cardio that allows you to deceive yourself into thinking you're fit when in fa t you're wasting away. Also, you're a frigging psychiatrist lololol, I wouldn't expect you to get actually training or education on physical fitness and diet. You were being a little disingenuous referring to yourself as a doctor in that context. I'm sure an actual physician receives a little more education in this regard, whilst you're reading Frued and Jung. Oh and I was wrong you aren't skinny, you're kinda doughy. Makes sense you still feel good as a vegan, you have the fat storages in place still to not notice the damage you're doing to your body and overall health. Give it a cpl years lol.

I am currently teaching patients in a free nutrition class, implementing the Nutritarian/WFPB diet and they've had amazing results! Not just weight loss, but reversing various chronic diseases and getting off medications! I also teach kids in high/middle/elementary about this, as we have to start the education at a young age! I look forward to continuing this more at a bigger scale with my future patients! I look forward to working with you in the future and would love to help out with your website, nutritionfacts.org. I already read a lot of studies on nutrition/ nutritional biochemistry, so perhaps being part of your research team?

I'm 71 years old and fairly new to plant based eating. Wish I knew all this years ago! Going to give it all I have left to improving my health and lose 100 lbs!

[@KrwiomoczBogurodzicy]

Wow. This is the next-level mode of doing a presentation. May it become a standard. My (testable) prediction(s): How Not To Diet becomes a bestseller and talked about a lot, and people become even more interested in this practical advice than that in How Not To Die (since seemingly people care more about appearances than health, that is until a disease hits them hard). 2020 (coupled with the nutrition guidelines that are likely to be significantly more WFPB, as well as the The Game Changers aftermath) is gonna be a milestone.

[@BVerrr]

Krwiomocz.Bogurodzicy Ⓥ dont know what you just said, but I like it

[@yoursugabumps]

This did it...I just pre-ordered the book. Can't wait! I needed this! What a PHENOMENAL presentation!

[@NotDanValentine]

Dr. Greger can teach us a lot about public speaking and engaging an audience, with the constant excitement, quick shifts in tone, and inflections for dramatic effect. I wish professors, preachers, & politicians presented similarly.

[@steviestump9954]

I love this! Dr. Greger makes nutritional science interesting AND hilarious!

[@annemccarron2281]

He has quite a personality!

Diseases of Affluence vs Diseases of Poverty: We have the knowledge and research to avoid both.

[@RabbitFoodFitness]

Exactly! I just wish that people would realize how to avoid those diseases of affluence.

No brah, just look at what our ancestors ate and how long they lived: worms, carcass, and humans.

[@jmc8076]

Over fed and malnourished. Other countries with lack of processed/big food stores but access to farms/plants underfed (by western standards) but ironically better nourished. I’m aware there’s exceptions with both and poor areas globally with lack of food and nutrition.

[@landerhendrickx3522]

Red Pill Vegan the backlash about the gamechangers will remain hilarious. I challenged the most famous dietician in Belgium to a debate on twitter yesterday because she claimed a vegan diet is inferior to a vegetarian one for athletes and that the documentary is based on pseudo science. (She worked with multiple Olympic medallists.) I don’t like people disrespecting Dean Ornish, he is saving lives by the minute...

This is an absolutely incredible reminder of some of the things that should be done daily for health AND an excellent resource for some new tips and tricks. If you're reading this, watch this video and then rewatch it until the information is ingrained in you!

[@srsaenzj]

WOW! So impressive! I am so happy to use the word Doctor, with Dr. Michael Greger.

[@MYfriendsknow]

Love Dr. Greger - There must be a special place in Heaven for such helpful and caring people as him.

[@MeredithStAndre]

This talk is absolutely *packed* with great information. Will have to re-watch just to get everything! Thank you so much for posting.

[@deniemarie5010]

Dr. Greger you're one of my plant based heros. I had a chance to meet you at a veg fest in MI. I felt like a teenager meeting a rock star. LOL My husband and I went plant based 3 years ago, we will never go back. My husband is type one diabetic. He is actually a healthy type one diabetic. His A1C is now down to 6.0. His endocrinologist is amazed at how well he is doing. He said he wants to use my husband as his poster child. "What are you doing" he asks my husband. My husband says "I've gone plant based". The conversation falls flat on the floor and the doctor doesn't want to talk about it anymore. One thing we need to get a better handle on is my husband's sugar going low. He is on an insulin pump along with a glucose monitoring sensor. This really has helped a lot also. But I will tell you, the high fiber really changes the amount of insulin he needs to take for a meal. Even adjusting carbohydrate intake, minus fiber intake, we know he needs to go lower on insulin intake. I have your knew How not to Diet book from audible, Love the fact that you record your own books (also purchased How not to Die). I will be purchasing the print book also. Please, keep up the good work, you and your staff. Love you Dr. Greger, keeping you in my prayers.

[@thetravelerwonderfulworld9854]

There is NOT one add in this video. Salute to Dr. Greger and his staff.

[@sharit7970]

EXCELLENT presentation! Thanks for the countless hours of research and posting!!

[@beamadd5515]

Dr. Greger -- you are a *true* public servant. Thank you.

[@synovium]

I cannot thank you enough, Dr. Gregor, for your fervent enthusiasm with the science of nutrition. As a medical professional myself I only wish my colleagues would take note of the mantra of healthy eating.

[@matwhite6481]

I have been Vegan for seven years, and even i make mistakes. I love how you explain things and state commonsense advice. I thoroughly enjoy your video's that are based on real facts.

[@foxlola1]

wow , what an amazing presentation. and such points...keep on teaching and keep on inspiring people to take their health and in some instances wealth into their own hands.

[@DTGrosz]

Even if I learned nothing - I have learned a lot - just listening to your manner of speaking makes me feel more positive. Great presentation Dr. Greger thank you for your infectious enthusiasm.

"Lose Weight By Eating As Much As You Want - Just be smart about what, how and when you do it" (Alternative title for this video)

[@DennisNowland]

Eat as much as you want as long as you don't exceed your calorie expenditure, simples.

[@gabrielahimsa4387]

specialy "what"

[@smallfootprint2961]

The key is that eating whole foods only, you can't eat beyond a certain point. Eating whole starches, and other whole vegis, you get satisfied sooner, and don't get hungry again as soon as you do on other plans.

[@KiaTheDMVBison]

I disagree because people who don’t eat whole food plant based will see that title, not watch the video and simply go eat a bunch of meat, dairy and junk food. You have to think the way THEY think. That’s why they hide behind the phrase “Everything in moderation” to justify their bad eating habits.

[@seybertooth9282]

Yeah, nobody ever got fat from eating too much broccoli. The problem is the "fat acceptance" movement who tells people they can eat as much chocolate cake as they want.

[@richardgelber3900]

Great to see Dr. Greger in extended presentation once a gain. A must see for my overweight patients and anyone who wants to see and hear the truth about nutrition. Follow this guiding light that will lead you from the fog of preconceived notions and (corporate propagated) conventional wisdom about food and health.

[@Limaduce]

I learn so much by reading along (and yes, outloud) with Closed Captions and trying to mimic your exact enthusiasm. I've watched so many nutritionfacts.org videos, that I almost know exactly where you're going to raise your voice. This is fun... Dr. Greger, you're high on my list of favorite people. Thank you for sharing your information with all of us, and doing the research....."so we don't have to."

[@tamzhamz4615]

i came in planning to skip through quickly to see what it is all about, but you were so engaging and passionate that i had to watch the whole thing! youve convinced me!

[@gmcateer08]

Rewatched this again, it's such a great presentation. Forgot how many "dad jokes" there are in it...great stuff, thanks for your hard work, really enjoy your daily discussions as well.

[@TheFlouchke]

Dear dr. Greger, I can’t thank you enough for your work and passion! Thank you! Merci! Danke Schön! Dank U!

[@t10mcg]

I appreciate your free content as a pubic service and your passion for nutrition for health. Thank You!

[@NecTeezay]

Absolutely incredible iformation. Ill probably watch this 2-3 more times and take lots of notes. Using the daily dozen and feel really empowered and greatful!

[@jitendraitankar]

thanks a ton. We Indians have been following plant based diet since ages...westerners are recognizing it now...good research talk

[@alexiswinter6948]

There goes my back and forth with intermittent fasting. Thank you.

[@Crazydoglady.]

Me too!

[@bbhurst65]

I'm 56, but I now want to go back to college and take every single course this gentleman teaches. I'm wide awake and interested. Thank you!

[@bbhurst65]

Incidentally, I stumbled upon him and his videos because I was (am?) considering the Galveston Diet, since I've gained weight--mostly in the middle section--with the onset of menopause. I used to be a distance runner, including one Boston Marathon, but my knees and gut no longer like a lot, if any at all, road running, so I'm looking for ways to modify my food intake. I've never had to diet, thankfully, but I now better understand many who have struggled regularly with weight. When I was a competitive runner, I ate whatever I wanted--even Dunkin' Donuts after long runs. I was very thin, but I'm not sure how healthy despite the outside appearance. Hoping I find the right mix of exercise and new eating habits this year.

[@martykerns3802]

Why not follow Dr Greger’s advice instead of the Galveston Diet??? There are more and more athletes who are. Watch the movie Game Changers.

[@L48198]

Love this mans passion for us. I do believe he cares more about what I put in my mouth than even I do. He is a Rock Star in my book.

[@OwensAcres]

Great info and great fact-based advice (as always). I'm vegan most of the time, but I am prone to bad food binging (like chips/sugar/bread/cheese) once in awhile....Your video's are always so inspiring and help me keep on track - got up and made added apple cider vinegar to my bottle of water - watched some more - got up and made black bean chili from scratch (with dried beans vs. canned ones). Now I just need some motivation to get on my rebounder! Will get the book - read it - highlight it, take notes, then pass it on to my daughter and grand daughter. Thank you for your continued inspiration on my food journey. Vegetarian 30 years - Vegan 6 years

[@CastledarkDweller27]

that's a great comment and congratulations on your inspirational food journey : ) just wanted to mention that i actually lost my cravings for things like "chips sugar bread cheese" by incorporating the whole food versions of these things in my diet. like i regularly make my own fat-free chips (both crisps & oven fries) Consequently this dissipates cravings for unhealthy fatty chips. i make a wholegrain bread full of flaxseeds and walnuts and i enjoy it with melty cheeses ive made myself from split lentils or cashews! (recipes from Cooking With Plants or Edgy Veg) Whenever i want sugar, i make a bowl of delicious "cookie dough" using whole dates in place of sugar & blending w/things like silken tofu & chick peas. Once i allowed these healthier alternatives to sugary or greasy foods, in to my regular diet, those previously binge-worthy foods lost their power over me. i actually PREFER my alternatives now.

[@bethanykarnopp9508]

[@ShellySummers]

Preordered this book when I first heard about it. The study towards the front about the fat producing more weight with 10k less calories really opened my eyes

[@SherryEllesson]

I've been consuming non-dairy milk for years. I recently bought some shelf-stable oat milk because it was on ridiculously low-priced clearance. After finding that having it in my COFFEE made me sleepy I finally read the label. First ingredient was water, 2nd was cane sugar. DUH! More sugar than oats?! No wonder it was knocking me out!

[@HaithamCV]

Thanks for all the effort and work you have done on this presentations and on your books I want to know what Whole Food plant-based diet contains and what a usual day of this can be

[@niquio8778]

I enjoy your videos very much Dr. Greger. You are a very entertaining speaker which makes listening to your daily videos something I look forward to doing instead of a dry or dull recital of facts. The fact that you are taking so much of the work out of getting healthy for all of us is a blessing and a god send. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!

[@w2bgrndma]

I am so happy about this site. It goes along with a basic sense of what is good for us. I had been told by my doctor when I was in my 20's to depend on my motherly instincts and while it was not perfect it has helped me remain as healthy as possible most of my life. I did end up slightly hypertensive this last year but I am 69 years young and I had stopped talking 2 tbls of flax and ground ginger each day.... which considering the fact.that I have never purchased any low fat anything... meant that my pressure increased. Normally I manage to keep my bp numbers went up. I am reintroducing the grinding of flax seed and ginger and will see how it goes. I am sure it will drop back down as before. I like the way your look at life and depend on evidence and not corporations. Thank you for actually caring enough to be honest.

[@lechoixv9959]

Dr. Greger, you ROCK! Thank you for the incredible work you do and the exceptional pedagogy with which you teach the world. I am vegan for animals, but i DO appreciate all the info. I am « tweeking » my eating habits as per all the info you give. I read How Not to Die and will certainly read How Not to Diet! Thanks again. Your generosity, pertinence, and impact are encouraging and inspiring. Keep it coming!

[@lainiefriedman863]

I'm totally inspired with all this knowledge about how plant based diet works and other diets are not helpful. The video was very helpful in renewing my dedication to our plant based diet. Thank you so much for this! I just noticed it is from 2019. It is still good, always has been and always will be a good way to eat. Thanks!

[@sophie1766]
