I learned this truth. Started listening to "new science" followed keto evolved into carnivore. Hard lesson learned. Severely damaged my colon, I have tests results to prove. Gastritis and esophigitis. There is no NEW SCIENCE regarding the proper human diet. I am slowly healing. Thank you Chef AJ and Dr Mcdougal. You must grow weary repeating yourself over and over....you are saving lives! Please don't stop. ❤

[@jgrysiak6566]

Keep going, keep going, tell all your friends, co-workers, neighbors, church friends that Atkins, keto, paleo diets make u sick & leads to death!

[@catsrus2890]

Thank you for your testimony! Hope you get fully well soon!

[@lizziedripping71]

I am no scientist but as a person severely obese from age 4 to 55, I can attest to the truth of all of this. Every word. I am now a confirmed WFPB eater, especially POTATOES 🥔 and maintaining a healthy normal weight effortlessly. After decades of obsessing about foods, seeking a miracle, I found the answer 😊

[@CHEFAJ]

YAY! 🎉

[@RiDankulous]

That is nice to hear you fixed longstanding severe obesity. I lost 50 lb but I started WFPB 7 years ago to fix cholesterol. Weight loss, better blood pressure and resting heart rate were all side effects, albeit extremely beneficial ones. I can control my weight easily now when I start gaining a little. Nothing like before.

[@stephikarolyi8706]

The thing I love about Dr. McDougall is that he is passionate about what he presents with each lecture but doesn't act with superiority, but with compassion. In fact, his information is a package of empowerment. He has a heart of pure golden potato 😊❤

[@melanie.3837]

I need to hear this over an over because we are inundated with articles, ads, social media groups and coworkers who claim that all carbs (complex) are evil and that high fat is the only way to save our brains and prevent Alzheimer’s!

[@11235Aodh]

I can highly recommend you watching Peter Roger's videos on alzheimer and fat as well, it's pretty deep into biochemistry but that also tells you why something works or doesn't. I only watch his nutritional videos, they're excellent, but he does post a lot of other stuff too.

[@jgrysiak6566]

Because their definition of a carb is white flour products which society is inundated with!

[@jgrysiak6566]

My nutritionist aunt ate a stick of butter on Ezekiel toast @ every meal & loved dairy products! She clogged her brain with them, developed dementia , then died from complications of altzheimers. I told her daughter this & she just laughed @ my theory.

[@mariaespiritu9512]

The head of Alzheimer’s prevention at Columbia University stated that a whole food plant based diet is the ideal diet to prevent Alzheimer’s

[@patrickmartel3169]

Thanks AJ ... Sunday nights, Monday morning ... i never get tired of listening to Dr. Mcdougall and his family ... what a gift ... 😊❤

[@robertmorgan5467]

Thank you Chef AJ. You are such a blessing. . I’ve been a raw vegan for 10 years prior to going totally plant-based cooked and raw. Now I’ve taken my life to a higher grade than ever before with the SOS 100% plant-based diet with no Franken foods. I have been a Raw Food chef and the Director of Creative Health Institute where I was able to work with many people helping them turn around their diabetes,, autoimmune diseases, and even cancer. You’re encouragement and insights into the benefits of an SOS diet and lifestyle has dramatically changed my health bringing every marker to heights that I never expected as a 72 year old man. I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you, and a special thank you to Dr. McDougall. God bless you both.

[@CHEFAJ]

I'm so happy to hear this--thanks for sharing

[@greyhnd001]

Love how he always tells the truth.

[@jaynelang6168]

Dr McDougall is my health hero!

[@xb4439]

55:00 a whole food plant based diet hurts! hurts the money making of big pharma, big medical, big animal farming. so true. agree!

[@Spock_Rogers]

Lol, that's a good thing!

[@tinalaplaca6638]

I think it's pretty scary how folks out there are eating the wrong foods. There are so many sick people out there. I see this every day. So many that l know personally. I do share what l know about what lm learning from Dr. M. and Chef AJ.....they all can find you as l did. I hope more get onboard and start being well. I appreciate all your knowledge and teaching me what real nutrition is all about

[@barbaras5958]

Have you listened to Doug Lisle? He frequently mentions that only about 10% or people are drawn to this freely available info. My own spouse maintains that he is the healthy eater, not me. He doesn't want to hear anything else. All I can do is keep adding more fruits and veg to his diet, which he will at least eat

[@ElinorRumming]

McDougall lectures are my favorite and this by far is one of his best!

[@Atheria444]

This is possibly THE best talk with Dr. McDougall you've ever done. Thank you for asking hard questions that he answered logically and truthfully. It was interesting to witness at a dinner in 2022 the only 2 people who ate a couple of loaves of bread each were the only 2 on keto diets...saying they were cheating for one meal. They were so carb deficient they literally freaked out and couldn't stop eating bread!

[@tatianah.4515]

Thank you for sharing this information. I wish dr. McDougall addressed all these internet doctors specifically (dr Hyman, dr Berg etc) and bioengeneers who all claim that keto is the only way to live efficiently and that sugar causes brain damage. They say that the obesity started in 80's when low fat diet became popular...I know i feel better and my numbers are better since switching to Wfpb although I am not losing weight (5-10 lbs, just stuck 😢). But why do they claim the recent studies and research as well? Is so confusing for simple people like me.

[@alethiacharis2480]

Are you eating enough calories on the plant based diet? Sometimes, I think the body can hold on to weight also because you aren't eating enough, and it doesn't feel safe to release the weight, because it's keeping itself ready for "famine" times.

[@scullyitsme9844]

Thankyou for breaking down the evidence that plant based leads to better health outcomes than keto. I’m often asked to explain why plant based is my choice.

[@CHEFAJ]

You're welcome!

[@Diverse_Interests]

One of things I like most is the comment “stick to the science”. This helps people for knowing how to evaluate information presented and remain objective.

[@MarcusP52]

@1:14:35 The thing that inspired me to adopt WFPB is the Seventh Day Adventist study that shows healthy-eating vegans have the greatest health and longevity. The influencers can brilliantly articulate their positions, and it all sounds plausible to a regular guy like me, but actual outcomes carry a lot more weight.

[@CHEFAJ]

Absolutely!

[@stevecraig3946]

This is great stuff!!!

[@beverleyosborne3922]

he’s the best of the best

[@JackByrom85]

Great information from one of our nutrition trailblazers.

[@CHEFAJ]

MANY THANKS!

[@mtm5783]

Great lecture! Ty

[@christieanderson1330]

Dr Mcdougall cracks me up saying they should stand up and take off their coats.

[@maryloulongenbaugh7069]

Thank you. I hear the pro meat, carbs are bad message. People still believe they need more protein and meat to lose weight and get healthy.

[@CHEFAJ]

Unfortunate!

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

Yes, people like hearing comforting lies. Especially if their friends and family do them, sadly. Most of us have been there.

[@yentavegan8823]

You’re brave for sharing your platform

[@Atheria444]

I am very small boned and keep my weight under Kempner's numbers. I look chubby at weights standard weight charts say I should be. I have seen people freaking out thinking they are too thin, but they could actually lose another 15 lbs. to be at Kempner's recommended weight.

[@Atheria444]

I love the line from American Beauty, "I just want to look good naked."

[@jgrysiak6566]

I'm probably @ my weight set point, 190. I'm 6'2. If I followed Kempners recommendation of 170, I would look like I have AIDS.

[@Diverse_Interests]

The presentation is excellent for making science accessible to all people in an enjoyable and engaging way. Giving people the ability to research, to evaluate and explore information given to them as fact is a valuable gift that can help people be better prepared to handle people trying to profit off them by misinformation and fear mongering. I think having basic knowledge of science and tools for critical thinking are essential to people’s well being and should be basic education requirements. One thing that would really help people is understanding how data can be manipulated, statistics and methods used would also be useful for people to have an understanding of to help sort out lies that can harm them and their family.

[@anian916]

Wow, very well said🥰😍

[@bonnies.d.1121]

Where else we save money by eating starch- and fruit/veg-based is on shampoo...and soap and toilet paper! And we need less frequent clothing laundering. I guess it's that, without the animal and other grease, my kitchen dish cloth doesn't get sour smelling, either. It's definitely the earth and health loving "way to go"!

[@betzib8021]

According to Walter k's weight chart I am grossly underweight. If I could get up to 127 I'd consider myself to be obese.

[@Spock_Rogers]

I like being thin. 🤸

[@bitfinesse]

Did I think Chef AJ was weird and out of her mind the first time I heard her talking about zucchini? YES Am I craving zucchini right now after a run? YES Have faith you non-compliant heathens lol 😘

[@CHEFAJ]

LOL!

[@SuperDoneth]

😂😂😂

[@dancingonhands]

What exactly did she say about zucchini, if you don’t mind?🩷

[@bonniemullen4990]

Excellant presentation Dr. MAC DOUGALL, I REALLY ENJOYED IT🎉🎉🎉❤😊

[@CHEFAJ]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@antoniocardona1965]

Thanks. It is almost incredible how doctors defend, Keto, low carb etc etc.

[@CHEFAJ]

It really is!

[@jgrysiak6566]

Because that diet keeps Doctors & Pharmaceutical companies & Cancer Centers busy. They're banking on us staying sick for profit healthcare !

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

Many doctors parrot sadly what they've heard from medical school, or at a conference and/or research funded by industry. Many are not scientists, and are without scientific training, which leaves them and their patients vulnerable.

[@michaelengel3045]

Japanese Kelp for iodine, but Kelp is loaded with mercury and sea salt.

[@CHEFAJ]

Perhaps try Nori sheets

[@jgrysiak6566]

Iodoral 12.5 tabs or Lugols 5% . It's made from rocks, 99.9% of people are not allergic. It was Doctor's old medicine for 100 yrs till pharmaceuticals came out. Only avail online!

[@catsrus2890]

Great video! Thank you!!!

[@CHEFAJ]

You are so welcome!

[@heyhoe5962]

According to the National Institute of Health, human breast milk is 3% - 5% fat.

[@csillakumar3612]

Breast milk is mostly water, if we look at calories, about 50% of calories comes from fat.

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

Csi... is correct, as is Dr M. By volume, 3-5%. By % of calories, 50%.

[@yentavegan8823]

Stop with the violence

[@taterflaps475]

He almost had me up until he brought up greenhouse gases.

[@trish5111]

Why ?

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

You don't have to care about greenhouse gases or climate change. For health and wellbeing, it's a starch based diet, with fruit and vegetables.

[@georgelewis8831]

You’re right about fat - but wrong about carbs… it’s lean protein that satisfies hunger.

[@pmonk1177]

He’s not wrong about carbs.

[@mariaespiritu9512]

If you go to any Caribbean island, you will not see many obese or over weight people and you’ll see very few elderly people in walkers or wheelchairs. They live on carbs.

[@mariaespiritu9512]

I’m from the Dominican Republic. I was a fit, slim, active kid, on my rice and beans and plantains and fruits like mango. I became overweight when I came here at age 9.
