Dr. McDougall saved my life. I developed Alpha GAL syndrome from a tick bite 2 years ago. I was forced to stop eating mammalian meat. I am only 5'5" tall, and I weighed 213 lbs. My wife and I moved to her native Philippines, I went on the McDougall diet, and I lost 43 lbs in 6 months. My average heart rate went from 96 bpm to 72. My blood pressure dropped from 152/90 to 115/70. Thank you so much, sir!

my labs a month ago showed a total cholesterol of 326 and LDL of 216, and doc suggested a statin. I said no thanks and began WFPB diet immediately. One month later, new labs showed total cholesterol reduction to 202. The LDL reduced to 126. Not perfect, but well on the way I think! It works.

Same for me, but farm-raised organic meat, chicken , pork, fish was always the MAIN dish on the table. And thick cut bacon with eggs was always on the breakfast table. Perogies was only for special holidays like Christmas...Then we all felt like crap for a few days after eating them... All that starch in the diet developed long ago, for when our ancestors were too poor to have farm animals to eat our" Proper Human diet" which is mostly carnivore, and all that cheap, easily grown starch was absolutely NEEDED for the heavy labour working the land. We dont need all this starch anymore more sitting in front of the computer. It's just nonsense... and, when I look at how poorly McDougall has aged , he looks 20 years older than my 85 year old father!! Btw, the only person to get cancer in my HUGE Ukrainian family on BOTH sides was the long-time vegetarian. And one relative developed diabetes because she ate the starchy , sugary foods. There was NO heart disease at all...Now, many of us are mostly carnivore, and I am 62 , have not seen a doctor in over 30 years, my parents in their mid-eighties, eat mostly carnivore and are on ZERO medications, renovating their new home, and enjoying life!! McDougall seems like a nice guy, but he is WAY off the mark, and likely causing great harm in the long run...He himself, has not aged well.... That is a BIG red flag for me...

Dr McD : alcohol causes Avascular Necrosis - bone depletion when blood supply is limited. Soccer players deflect balls using the 7 inches between their eye sockets and the ears. They calculate spinA/spinB to pass, or beat their opponents. At 20/30 miles/ hour the impact can demage the capillaries, causing cataracs, headaches, tooth pain and vertigo.

You do sound possibly very likely diabetic/pre-diabetic. If you have pre-existing neuropathy, you already have at least one significant existing medical condition. Kindly, this will always require medical supervision in diet change for anybody in that position, whatever type of diet. Especially if you're taking certain meds as well, as they'll need adjusting - if not, that might result in the symptoms you describe. As richoka has also helpfully hinted, you may have had high fat levels in cells? I can't speak for your individual health profile, but please consider this alongside appropriate medical supervision (which is necessary for some), and for medication adjustments. I'd contact the McD Program directly in your case. They take care of many people with always excellent published results, but some people need specialised approach to it.

I was also a jogger back then and I wound up jogging 17 miles one day and realized my initial goal was 2 miles when I first started jogging! I decided to cut back on jogging and add some fat and protein back in the diet. Got back to normal weight, but I don’t feel like I have found my best diet and fitness routine yet.

Oil in a bottle, as opposed to the oil contained in an avocado, olive, nut, seed, or whatever. Once the oil has been separated from its plant of origin, it becomes a 'free' oil, no longer accompanied by the fibre and nutrients in the plant. Dr McDougall was not keen on higher fat whole foods either (e.g. avocado, nuts, seeds, soya) but he said they were OK now and then. In his Food Poisoning Color Picture Book (free to read on his website), foods containing substantial natural fats are in the amber (caution) category but free oils are in the red (no) category.

The Kempner diet was extreme and Dr Kempner recommended that his patients be supervised. I don't think it would be safe to do it alone. I'd suggest checking out Dr Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes book and Dr McDougall's book, The Starch Solution. The Physicians' Committee (PCRM) - Dr Barnard's organisation - offers online medical appointments and Dr McDougall's organisation offers a course to help people change their diet and lifestyle. Both offer medical support. Dr McDougall's programme is expensive but you are considered a patient of theirs for life once you have done it and can consult with them anytime, as far as I understand. I don''t know how much PCRM charges for appointments. If feasible, it might be worth contacting them to find out more.

Yes, fruit can cause blood sugar levels to go up, unfortunately. I use a home monitor although I do not have diabetes. Any kind of fruit makes it go up temporarily. Use lowest glycemic ones like an apple, berries and stay away from bananas, tropical fruit. I eat plant-based and my blood sugar is ok on these meals - just make sure there is plenty of fibre in the meal - wholegrain everything, skin on potato, lots of cooked and some raw veg with each meal. If you can tolerate it, a tsp of cider vinegar in water before each starch meal helps lower the sugar. Keep meals small - we don't actually need heaped platefuls!
