My wife and I have been eating a whole food plant based diet for 4 years now. She has been off her diabetes meds for 4 years and we are both doing very well. I haven’t needed to lose weight and I haven’t experienced any problems. John McDougall MD has it right, we are not vegans we are starchitarians
“John McDougall MD has it right, we are not vegans we are starchitarians”
I’ve been reviewing his presentations for some time now, and so far I have not seen him properly address the problem of neurological disorders which accumulate going into elderly ages due to insufficient supplies of saturated fats in the diet. Diets rich in saturated fats in the absence of abnormal levels of carbohydrates are known to protect against and sometimes even reverse neurological disorders such as epilepsy, ADD, autism, dementia, Altzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, memory loss, Multiple Sclerosis, and much more. The etiology of nutritional ketosis and how it treats these diseases is well identified and in some cases has been part of standard medical practices for more than one or more centuries. I’m not seeing a credible etiology in what John McDougall MD presents.
I love McDougall and have never felt better than when eating his plan.
