Podcast: Grains with the Best Gains

[@barbaraalpher3476]

Now 82 and I take NO meds, not even over the counter ones. Began decades ago gradually becoming vegetarian (proving that vegetarians can gain weight! Ate so much dairy, eggs, etc.) and then became plant-based. My weight is now my high school weight and I continue to study plant-based nutrition. And David Parker, rather than the folks around you, it's your choices of foods that make it hard. You haven't given yourself the chance to feel the full impact of plant-based eating. Keep at it and let those of your family and culture see the difference in you.

I realize this is anecdotal. Several years ago I attended a lecture at a homeschool convention. I had previously been avoiding wheat for "health" reasons and discovered someone speaking about the benefits of wheat at that convention. I was desperate to eat bread again, so I attended the lecture. The lecturer changed my world! I now purchase wheat berries (various kinds from various sources including Einkorn and Kamut) and grind them to make fresh flour for all my family's bread needs (pastries as well). My blood work numbers have all changed for the better.

My last attempt to go WFPB foundered on the common issue that I was feeling unsatisfied by my food. Chris Macaskell's Plant Chompers channel recently inspired me to try again and for the first few days I had no problems. Then I made the dish I often ate in the first attempt: a bean chilli with a pile of whole grains - pot barely in this instance. I ate tons of both but my hunger pangs almost seemed to increase as I did. This time I took a tip from Plant Chompers: soft food confers less satiety than hard. I ate a few things I could get my teeth into and I was fine. Strange phenomenon though.

[@solotraveler6025]

Anyone get the old adage when someone finds out you’re WFPB? “would rather eat what I want and die happy than eat the bunny food you’re eating?” I always respond “so, taking fists full of prescription drugs, dealing with the side effects of diabetes, cancer and heart disease the final 20 years of your life is being happy?”

@@iwillnotseeyourreply.9235 The video below is from the MedCram website used to help medical students pass their medical school exams. I like to look at some of the more interesting ones and I found this one. This is probably the most straight forward presentation of why you don't want to eat foods derived from animals. The bottom line is that various sialic acids coat the proteins throughout our bodies. The sialic acids that cap human proteins are different from the ones on non-human animals. They help our immune system identify between self and non-self proteins and we develop antibodies against the non-human forms. However, when we consume animal foods, our bodies mistakenly use the animal sialic acids to cap our proteins since they are chemically close. But by doing so, we create proteins that are distributed throughout our body that our immune system identifies as "foreign" and are attacked. Thus, eating animal foods over a lifetime leads to a variety of disease conditions emanating from the chronic inflammatory states that are created. Eating animal foods is literally self sabotage. Ref: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roPOg5yihZaCirc

[@miclambchop]

Exactly my motivation for going WFPB! I grew up in a family eating standard American diet (at least one animal product at each meal). So many drugs, surgeries, chronic disease in my family. When I tell them about WFPB, they tell me "you really don't need to do that, just eat everything in moderation". I had several fairly active and athletic people in my family die or suffer open heart surgeries and strokes from "moderation". They themselves are taking about 8-12 medications a day for their "moderation", and yet they say this to me with absolutely no sense of irony. Not seeing how a future of taking a bunch of pills or having inflamation so bad I need help getting out of bed, or having surgeries or implants or needing assistance when I develop Alzheimer's is a "happy" future.

Better to eat ten different ingredients every ten days, or one hundred ingredients every day?

I have ham friends with newer radios (I like older gear) who have to hold their microphones out at arms length to keep from overdriving the audio--BUT ham gear is usually adjustable, via menus or internal settings. Consumer gear--and what I suspect Dr. G is using is not. It's "learn where to place it, or build a screen, or throw it away" type stuff.

Most breads are rye or oat based and whole grain or mostly whole grain. They think these breakfast choices are healthy. But then, the oat is mostly the instant kind and the flours used for bread are decomposed and then put together in same ratios as whole grains... I don't like oatmeal because it tastes bland and the texture is disgusting. But I love buckweat in any form. I also love millet and barley. So I ditched the bread and eat my eggs with those (the only animal product I still eat because of choline mainly). Wheat and oats are actually borring besides these grains/"grains"

How is Nutrition Facts going to keep its channel ad-free now that youtube has told all content-creators that youtube will slap adverts on anyone they want, even if they aren’t part of the ad partnering deal?

[@neillibertine3044]

I think problem is with digestive system and that upon mental health. Food means carbohydrate, but problem is that most bodies are not adapted to carbo diet because they quickly break into sugar. So people are more inclined to protein rich diet because they are complex and take time.

"People want their white bread white" YUCK!!! not this people. Give me wheat (and more grains) or give me cornbread. Sliced white bread-only if I was starving. and please find someone to help you set the microphone the best distance from your mouth to cover all the extremes of you up and down voice. It's just terrible the amount of distortion that's coming from the overdriving of the element. Here's my assisitance (as a radio op who understands a litle bit about this stuff): to fix, back off the microphone, especially when you "get loud/excited". This mic has decent audio when you let your voice down into the cellar. You just need to "back off". Some of the radio guys suggest a very dirty sock tied around the microphone to buffer the input---and to force the user to keep his mouth further away from the element. I'm done here. It's just too distracting. I thought after a few months this problem would go away--be fixed by somebody. But it has not and my ears are too battered already. Hope you get it fixed. Thanks

Is this the first time you complained about it? I haven’t seen any other complaints; that’s probably why he didn’t fix it. Can’t fix something you don’t know is a problem. 🤷‍♀️

I would eat a good quality organic white sourdough bread with just organic wheat flour, water, and salt and nothing else but would avoid white breads at the supermarket.

Do you know whether Dr. Greger ever addressed the issue of dried fruits in general (dried figs, dried dates, raisin, etc...) ? Particurally during recent lockdown periods, I ate tons of dried figs !

[@george3737]

I love dried figs and apricots [both from Turkey], but they are higher calorie density and glycemic index and are not good for weight loss.

Hi

[@jaxonv2098]

We shouldn't eat starchy vegetables?

[@Greentrees60]

If you look at the daily dozen ap, starchy vegetables are counted under "other vegetables", and he recommends 1 cup of these (cooked) per day. The category is bigger than starchy vegetables, but he doesn't say you shouldn't eat them, just that you should also eat grains.

[@andreawisner7358]

Why am I, and so many other people, allergic to wheat? You can be allergic to wheat without being celiac. Wheat is one of the top eight known food allergens.

[@wadepatton2433]

Dr. Greger tells us on his website (videos and probably articles) that most folks are not wheat sensitive or gluten intolerant. I think we have so many allergies these days because folks aren't eating enough fiber, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens. And dairy. When I got away from dairy, my life-long problems with sinuses (many doctor visits and tests in my first 20 years because I suffered so much). Turns out that when I stopped drinking milk on a regular basis, that I had ZERO hay fever/allergies problems at all. No one ever thought that dairy could be bad for us in those days...not anybody we knew-including the MD's. WFPB for 6 years not--healthiest I've ever been, despite being 54.

[@pittielover202]

You may notice your gluten tolerance will vary when you're not in the U.S. I have a friend who is straight up celiacs and can eat pasta in Italy. U.S. wheat is spliced to be higher in gluten because gluten is highly pest-resistant. I get bloating from gluten here but in Italy I can eat all the bread and pasta and be fine.
