I cannot express how thoroughly wonderful it is to have this kind of support. This is the first time I have felt good about my decision to switch to a plant based diet since I was very recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. All my doctor wanted to do was immediately plug me into several drugs. He knows nothing about plant based diets and promotes mixing drugs as an “integrated” approach. Thank you for clearly showing the many proofs that plant based diets alone can cure this disorder. I have not taken a single pill that has been prescribed for me and I look forward to proving my doctor wrong. My husband has been taking so many pills since he was diagnosed 25 years ago with this the same disease that I have lost count of the number. The pills are his way of not having to change bad dietary habits. Unfortunately, he’s just getting sicker and sicker and I cannot convince him to watch any of these videos or movies such as Forks Over Knives. He’d rather eat steak and fried chicken. Without such support from kind and knowledgeable professionals such as yourselves I would be alone. Thank you so much for your guidance and generous sharing. I am very deeply grateful.

How has your diabetes been since your started the plant based diet?

Lecture on diabetes starts at 22 minute. Great information.

[@suzyq6767]

Dr. M, one thing you said here really caught my attention, besides all the interesting in-depth information about diabetes. When you have diabetes, and you're continuously checking your sugar and always taking insulin and everyone asks you about your sickness. You're focusing on being sick. Even with T1, the need for insulin and the need to constantly check sugar go down, so it stops being the focus of your life, and you can focus on being healthy. I really like that idea. Eating well changes the focus of your life from sickness to wellness. YES!!!! That's what you did for me. My issue wasn't diabetes but could have become an issue with my family history. I"m the only one of my sibs and cousins to escape the thing that killed grandma at 59. And the stone you threw in my pond has rippled out and touched many people. Thanks for making this your life's work. You made a huge difference in my world and the world at large. Thank you a million times.

[@maryirwinartdesign8235]

This makes so much sense to me! I'm very interested in the study of genetics vs. cultural habits and how they relate to different groups health as I think it tells a story over time. All of my siblings in our 60-70ies now have diabetes, are somewhat overweight to very much overweight with inflammation issues. Yet....my mother never did. This has puzzled me all my life,a little envious! She ate sugars, hard candy, all fruits- fresh and dried, potatoes, whole wheat, rolled oats, tons of starchy veggies, etc- freely and daily. She did eat meat, but avoided all red meats, and only are small amounts of fish and chicken (always minus the skin and fat). Being somewhat of a health nut, she vemently avoided all fried foods, processed foods, rarely ate butter, or any oils except cold pressed flax or olive for salads. Oh, and she also was very conscious of her weight and staying active. That woman NEVER developed diabetes, or any other disease, lived healthily till 97 yrs young. By contrast, my father ate a diet heavy in meat, processed meats, butter, whole milk etc. He ended up with diabetes, arterial Sclerosis, and finally cancer...& passed at 80. Hhhhhmmm. Just now through listening to this webinar, (podcast, or whatever video)with the studies Dr McDougal has posted, it is clicking in my brain. I can now REALLY SEE why! It's totally the FAT in our diet making us sick and fat. Not the whole food healthy carbs!

@@betzib8021 you may not be having an issue of insulin resistance due to fat in your diet, but problems with insulin production, release, signaling, glucagon levels, etc. due to your microbiome, genetic or environmental reasons. You could be slowly developing type 1.5 diabetes. (in which you may need insulin). I was able to drop my A1C to below 5.0 by eating more beans, fewer whole grains, strict avoidance of any simple carbs, more vegetables and hemp protein powder, lupini beans, high protein tofu (basically substituting protein for carbs instead of fat...which is what the keto people do. My macros more like 60% Carb, 10-15% fat, 25-30% protein. your mileage may vary. Try to find a knowledgeable plant based doctor like John M. to work with.

It works but you can’t do your version of it. My dad did it and reversed his type 2 diabetes within a month - after having it for 30 years! The key is to remove all overt fats; a baked potato can’t be covered in plant based butter or oil. When you remove the fat, the fat clears out of the cells and organs and the glucose can get in to fuel you.

Oh and let me tell you... lettuce has carbs!! My blood sugar goes to 500 eating a salad and that's with taking insulin. Other diabetics are so messed up it doesn't affect there blood sugar. And of course regular people don't know because there pancreas works.

No animal products on the McDougal diet.

I'm home full-time...I'm Dr McDougall's colouring.. and im 60...

He talks about people who are obese but back in the 60s and 70s before veganism people were thin. You wouldn't admit that though, would you doc. Look at old videos from back then and you won't see fat people. They certainly weren't vegans.

[@mowthpeece1]

Lol.. Then why did Twiggy become so popular and start the thin craze in the 60s? Take your time...

[@dj-fe4ck]

Lol, there were plenty of fat people before the 60's. William Howard Taft was the fattest President at around 350 pounds 110 years ago

[@toni4729]

@@dj-fe4ck Wow, did you find someone who was fat. I'll give you another one. Henry the eighth. Well there's always someone who can overeat and drink to their hearts content. I'll bet he drank and ate cakes and cookies and drank wine till it ran out of his ears. He could afford it. But most people didn't. Now look at a few of your grandparent old photos and see how fat they are.

[@toni4729]

@@dj-fe4ck And don't tell me your grandparent were vegans. They weren't.

[@craig4326]

@@toni4729 I believe the difference is back then diets were lower in fat. They still had disease too btw

[@happycook6737]

Cocoa powder in small amounts is ok. Chocolate has too much fat

He says that sugar makes insulin better, ok. shocking!

Japan advice to prevent Diabetes: 1992 Pubmed article: Nutrition for the Japanese elderly. Lots of animal products.

Absolutely agree.

They were looking to drop the level of glucose in the blood. That's NOT a cure. A cure is being ABLE to eat sugars like normal healthy people.

Thank You so much for all this information Dr. McDougall- I started following you since August 2021 when my 15 year old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes - immediately was urged to purchase insulin - changed her diet to your guidelines and no insulin as of yet - thank God 🙏 planning on emailing you for further guidance 💕 Thank U Dr for all U do 💕

New studies from Italy, New Zealand and even China show that type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes can be managed (or possibly reversed) if you know ho
