A summary of "The Starch Solution" by John McDougall, including tips on how to achieve maximum weight loss through easy diet changes. ▻ Join the EvG ...
+veggielove84 I'm so glad to hear that! It's incredible how inexpensive it can be to eat healthy. I have a whole video series on this to help: https://youtu.be/5owkh9nQcPs?list=PLNyt9ukuqNEeV65h8ugT0lY7u_LWnBS4u
First, the packaging is excellent because the ingredients are all listed in
bold lettering. I hate when a company isn't transparent about what they put
in their product. In the case of the Weight Loss Green Store Tea, it is a
mixture of various natural herbs and fruits. Nothing with a harsh sounding
chemical name is included.
Hey! I love the starch solution, it´s how I like to eat a lot anyways.
On another note: I worry about you a bit, because I feel like you are
trying to lose weight and optimize yourself on the outside while you are
already so slim and beautiful.
I know that it is hard to love oneself, but unless you accept yourself the
way you are, you will always be looking for the next diet (this series of
yours feels like that).
Diets are wrong. I always experience how unhealthy even a little thought of
"I should eat less" is.
I feel like you need to listen to your body and do not stress about it.
There are o many more important things in the world than looking perfelct.
Have you come across eating intuitively? It was a revelation to me.
Maybe I misunderstand you, but I really wish for you to be happy and
content and I feel like this series is (though I get that it would be
popular) kind of like the big old diet-craze.
Love from Germany
+MsGloaming thank you so much for your words. This video series isn't about losing weight necessarily, it's about finding optimal weight and body health. And it's meant to share my findings with everyone who watches and wants to learn. Right now my personal goal is to find a diet/ that makes me feel good long term and to get toned through exercise. I absolutely agree about not stressing out about food and listening to your body. I appreciate your support!
I'm a starch eater myself, by far most of my daily calories come from
starch and I quit using oil. I've tried the fruitarian thing for a few days
this year, but I can't afford it long term, it doesn't keep me satisfied
for longer than 2 hours and it's highly impractical. I think you did well
both on highlighting aspects of the book as well as talking thoughout the
video, cause I think it was all 1 take...
see im struggling to gain a bit of weight. I'm the typical 6'1 165lbs. i
want to get to around 180 and put some weight on a little bit everywhere
(especially my cheeks)...
but i can't gain any. i always stay the same. so if you're worried about
gaining weight on the starch solution, don't. not going to happen. i pack
away at least 4000cals a day too.
+awpeaceaw yea I've been lifting weight for 6 months now. it is definitely making my size bigger, unfortunately its not helping me not look like a crack head :P
+Eco-Vegan Gal yea but not very extensively. i always think i eat way too much sugar. if i consume a lot of both fat and sugar in the same day, it sketches me out :P is it okay if i eat say on average 20 bananas a day, and about 200grams of dates, then avocados/nuts then finishing it off with a huge starch meal?(usually i go pasta or rice with tons of veg and lots of beans. but hey cut me some slack, I'm a single young male vegan, figuring things out on the fly :D
+ovechkin100 McDougall suggests added more high fat foods like avocado and nuts into the diet to gain weight. Have you given that a try yet? I think +awpeaceaw's advice about weight training is great too. I'll keep you posted as I come across more tips on gaining weight.
Inuit and Masai do not die from heart disease that is completely false.
This is why population studies are not reliable. Their physical activity is
way beyond the typical American. What would a sedentary person eat and stay
healthy, that is the question. Not what a person who farms and hunts and
gathers their own food. This is why population studies are not reliable.
Because if you put these people on a low carbohydrate diet they may do
better. We don't because it hasn't been studied. Look AT US
Listen bro I'm looking for nutrients. I don't care about taste. That's for
sissies and babies. I'm not a kid I'm an adult. What I'm looking for is the
opitmal diet. We are in between carnivores and plant eaters but our DNA is
more geared towards fat burning. The reason why you burn sugar first and
fat last is because sugar is toxic. Ask any diabetic about their nerve
pain, poor skin, poor wound healing. I don't know about you but I don't
want to deal with that. So go ahead and eat sugar, I'm not
And if you have eating animal products you can eat high fat fruits like
avocado and coconut. If you can only chose one food meat is the only thing
that will allow you to survive. True eating too much liver is bad but it
doesn't taste good you are not going to eat a bunch of liver, thats why
taste is so bad so you dont over eat. You are tasting nutrients in large
amounts the taste is how your body signals you to not eat so much of it.
You dont need that much protein. And we evolved during famines
We couldn't get a fresh kill everyday. Humans are not some pussy plant
eaters. We are hunters and gathers. We reached the top of the food chain
because of our hunting prowess not because we ate plants. What would you do
in the winter and spring, you would starve to death. So obviously we are
not pure plant eaters. We couldnt be it isn't logical. You cant eat real
food because you are a soft wet pussy. Talking about taste grow up. I don't
know about you but vegetabes taste horrible without fat.
It is not the cheese, the butter, or the saturated fat. And you body makes
SATURATED from carbohydrate anyway. So even if you avoid all saturated if
you eat a low fat diet your body is going to make saturated fat. I don't
trust population studies you have to understand the underlying science.
Correlation does not mean causation. Exercise is not that important on a
low carbohydrate diet because when you diet is right you burn energy
spontaneously. You dont feel depressed like high carb diets.
Calling me names and making such appeals to nature is pointless. My main
disagreement is the primary focus on meat and fat as some uplifting
variable in human evolution. As i've said before, the verdict concerning
some "optimal" human diet is largely conjecture at the moment. Who cares
what some vegans have to do to supplement a healthful diet, as you must
know, Evolution does not care about the long term health of that organism,
and it' solutions to problems are rube Goldberg contraptions.
What about the Inuit Eskimos, what about THE MASAI TRIBE IN AFRICA.
Popuation studies are not reliable you cannot control all the variables.
Look at OUR population. FAT CONTENT has stayed level yet CARBOHYDRATE
CONSUMPTION HAS INCREASED in past 30 years and WHAT HAPPENED. Diabetes,
heart disease, gout, obesity, and stroke is at levels UNSEEN in human
history. They experimented on us the last 30 years and we see the results.
To deny what is going is complete dishonest and is KILLING people.
What are collards without natural lard. What is brocolli without butter.
Actually scientist discovered that you absorb more beta carotene when you
eat vegetabes with FAT. So chew on that. IF you dont like animal foods fine
but I could eat a all plant diet and still eat low carbohydrate. Nuts,
seeds, avocodoes, and coconuts. But I WOULD NEED A B12 supplement. I'm not
against plants I just made the comparison to animal foods which are
superior. I so no reason to consume carbohydrates though.
Without fat you would not be here. You will not survive a famine without
fat. That's not a fallback mechanism that is part of your survival. Without
fat you will not be here. Also, you burn PROTEIN when your metabolism is
geared toward burning CARBOHYDRATE. Once you stop burn sugar as a fuel you
make SUGAR from glycerol, lactate, pruvate. Why do think as people age they
lose their muscle, they get bone disease because they burn sugar. If you
miss a meal and you eat sugar you BURN MUSCLE.
You also act as if people in the past thirty years went to eating a diet
based off Lentils, tomatos and fiberous whole plant foods as their staples.
We have not. We do eat carbohydrates, yet mainly as refined, junk foods.
There was little heart disease or diabetes in the Papua New Gineau
Highlanders, or the pre 1950s Okinawians, or the Rural Chinese, or the
Bedoiuns of Southern Israel. What do you think these populations ate? They
ate high carb, high fiber plant rich diets.
Not only were they in poverty, THEY WERE STARVING. You can still be poor
and get fat. Whatever population your bring up there will be flaws show me
the science. I can SHOW YOU THE SCIENCE. You are not showing any science to
back up your argument.Population studies are not reliable, show me the
science. HARVARD and proven a low fat diet INCREASES your risk for heart
disease, ALL DISEASE in AMERICANS compared to low carbohydrat diets. This
is science, you have no science.
Hey, wish ya the best with your diet and lifestyle. But who cares what
'unnatural" solutions to dietary realitys some vegans have to do today? Is
wearing pants natural, are computers and youtube natural? We clearly have
adaptations to concentrated starch storage organs, and have pyschological
responses to concentrated sugar sources. In other words, i still feel we
are generalist feeders- and we became human due to a variety of foods- of
both animal and plant sources.

Dr Robert Lustig vs Dr John McDougall
If Dr Robert Lustig was right about sugar and refined carbohydrates, then why is he still so fat? On the other hand, Dr John McDougall says white rice is fine.
It's all about your DNA and what your ancestors ate. When it comes to what
you eat and how it works in your metabolism, one size definitely does NOT
fit all.
+girlperson1 So a cow with DNA prototype A eats grass, another cow with DNA prototype B eats decayed lamb flesh cos they are born with different DNA? I'm confused?
+Jayme Joy (Many Many Fruits) Maybe he's fat because he drinks lot, or he has a thyroid condition, but he says a lot of obese people don't have metabolic health problems, and a lot of people are TOFI, thin on the outside fat on the inside. Regarding his comments on carbs it is refined carbs (devoid of fiber) that are a problem, in particular Fructose, mainly found in refined sugar, fruit juices and corn syrup, and their bio chemical reactions with Insulin and Leptin.BTW don't delete comments, that aern't rude just because you don't agree with them, it just show you are closed minded.
Dr. John McDougall has helped thousands of people become thin and healthy.
Dr. Lustig should start promoting starches and stop promoting so much meat,
which is making him fat.
This video is the voice of the most ignorant of the ignorant and arrogant
people. Sorry girl, have a good life, if you don't have the resources to
invest on thinking, don't even bother.
+Bernardo Vergara I'm totally not, i like being honest with myself and everybody. Though you do good to mention it and spread open mindedness, but it's best to do it by example.
You've kinda missed the point, view his other videos. He's linking sugar to
the top 5 medical killers today which is killing obese and thin people
equally, like heart disease, diabetes, stroke. Obesity is just a side
affect for half of these people. You can be big and healthy and you can be
thin and sick. I'm on the heavy side and resonably healthy, while some of
my 'thin' friends are now diabetic.
+Darren Morgan Heart disease, diabetes, and stroke do not kill obese and thin people equally. These are the side effects of obesity, not the other way around.

If we came to this diet, which is very beneficial, by a consequence of
having an open mind, we shouldn't abandon this attitude. I agree with the
speaker. I think it is a great problem in the vegan community, but I guess
closed mindedness is just a defense mechanism of the "small minded".
Stupid putting up so many videos in one big batch. They could have put up a
video per day and the engagement would be 100 times as much as farting it
all out in one indigestible feed spam.
Flexiveganarian! Love that word! That's what I am, too, when we have
chickens. But even then, my husband and daughter eat most of them. I don't
care one way or the other.
