Ya, I keep seeing commenters talk about how their grand parents eat mostly meat and live to 100, yet mine both had that type of diet and they died around the same time as McDougal. Fact is the average life expectancy is 77 years, so I'm not sure why people are surprised that a 77 year-old dude died.

@@mariyork Exactly. If he had a stroke at 18 and continued as usual he probably wouldn't have made it past 40. Even most people who eat a standard American diet don't get a stroke at 18. So people need to take that into consideration when assessing the fact that he lived to a very healthy 77 years old with no chronic health issues and was wind surfing up until the time he died.

Both my parents smoked, drank alcohol from 1950-1989, every single night, then quit smoking, but always had a drink in the evening till they died at 93. My mother's family were butchers for over three generations, and both my mom and dad ate a lot of meat, a lot of dairy, a lot of homegrown vegetables, not much sweets at all,.. till they passed at age 93. I'm following Dr. McDougall's starch based diet 10 years now and love it. Will I live longer than 93...??? IDK. But my parents who ate everything did and they also lived by themselves to the very last day of their life, in the very first house they bought in 1952. They had no help. They literally could do everything all by themselves. In fact when family would visit them, my mom, at age 91, was still cooking and cleaning for the whole crew! All by herself. Then the last two years she let us finally. But she walked 2 flights of steps in her house and outside steps as well that ran to the house. I don't feel like I'm able to beat that. Haha...

I think he did save a lot of lives with his diet because his diet was WAY WAY better than what his patients were eating previously. In my opinion the basis of it is this... If you're overeating by several thousands of calories a day and you simply eliminate fat, it's very difficult to then match your calorie input without getting bored or full. Simply put, they were eating less. Probably a lot less. And this works only if you are overeating, overweight, and unhealthy as his patients were. If you're a fit person of normal weight, you aren't gaining much by eating high carb, low protein, low fat. In fact you might be worse off due to the low protein content of the diet he claimed was optimal (30g/day) if you have an optimal amount of muscle mass (which I don't think he did).

I am mostly a carnivore but I did appreciate McDougall’s passion. He made some sense with what he said and he was a very learned person with a lot of studies. He’s been in this game for a long time and he’s a legendary person in the field. The fact he died at 77 shouldn’t really be a issue because as many people on here have said he suffered a stroke at 18 years old and he wasn’t expected to survive actually. He made it to 77 I’m sure that stroke did damage. So who knows what he died from. He did a peer frail he wasn’t like that 20 years ago. But whatever it is rest in peace he did a lot of research he did a lot of good work for many people. Fact remains no one really knows the answers. I think the keto and carnivore are great diet for fixing problems which I did with me. I question whether it’s good long-term because it doesn’t fit in with our evolution ideals. I believe we ate meat thousands of years ago but it wasn’t easy to catch an animal it was far easier to eat vegetables and rice and corn etc. so that I agree with him on. But we are different animals today.

Yes, this is true. Patients who develop stroke at an early age are at much HIGHER risk for cardiovascular disease.... He also mentioned that he was paralyzed for weeks following the stroke event. He was able to live to 77, so his way of eating probably extended his lifespan. (BTW, I'm not vegan myself.) We all need to keep in mind: Diet is only one factor, just like genetics is one factor, as well as exercise, and other social/environmental factors. Vegan/plant-based won't cure someone's disease, but it can slow it down.... Given that he had a stroke at 18, I think he did well living to 77. I did not expect him to live to 100 with his genetic profile of cardiovascular risk.

He was an outlier in that he had a massive stroke as a teenager .. he may have died a lot sooner than 77 with the SAD. But who knows with this N=1. I wouldn't choose his lifestyle based on the low protein amount. As a 50+ woman, I would be in a world of hurt at that low percentage. Each body is different so I go off my family history (no one dies under 100 and they're healthy till their last few weeks of life) and how my body responds to my food choices and exercise amounts..

It isn’t helpful to be reductionist about his life. Don’t look for the one thing, but the overall quality of his life. Everybody will die. Increase your health span, decrease your disease span.

Dr. McDougall had a massive stroke as a teenager at age 18. He did well to live to age 77. I am sure his diet prolonged his life. I follow him & also Neal Barnard, MD. My Italian grandpa lived to be 100 - he ate pasta with spaghetti sauce, canned ravioli, expresso coffee, Italian nougat candy & very little meat; he lived by himself in a tiny apt & walked to the park every day. He would have lived longer, but fell & broke his hip, caught pneumonia in the hospital & that's what killed him. Also, he smoked cigars!

Dr. McDougall had a stroke when he was 18 years old, and the mortality after having stroke at early age is pretty high according to a study that was done in Netherlands. His diet most likely helped him live longer.

Dr. John McDougall lost his home, his cat and all of his possessions during the Californian wildfires in 2017 and had an unlucky accident sometime in 2015 where he broke his hip. I don't think he fully recovered from that. His May 2016 Newsletter on his website has details on his accident, while his facebook post from October 12. 2017 documents the loss of his home.

The fact that he died in his sleep, rather than from some painful, horrific illness, tells me he was an advanced soul who just decided to move on to other, higher adventures and/or dimensions. Way to go, Dr. McDougall!

What an achievement to live to 77 years when he’d had a massive stroke at age 18, not to mention all the great work he did to help others be healthy. Not to mention getting a law passed in California that all doctors have to have a semester of nutrition training.

one commenter said he was vaccinated twice in 2022 (can only be Covid). If you are not ill, then dying in your sleep at 77 years, is kind of unusual. But even if someone knows all about nutrition, it does not mean he would not get vaccinated, esp. if he believes that it is a true pandemic and that the vaccines are supposed to help you. Rest in peace, Dr. McDougall, your contribution to nutrition and overweight people was tremendous, we will miss you 💖💖💖

McDougall wasn't just an influencer. He was a disciplined physician who worked tirelessly to discover why he had a stroke when he was 18yo. His early books were groundbreaking and better researched than anything else available at the time. My view as a health professional is that McDougall most likely had a dissected artery when 18yo, and again at his death. Stroke from embolus is highly unlikely at 18yo. McDougall lived after his stroke with left sided weakness. Anyone who saw him move regularly knew that. I respect McDougall, but think his family should wake up and realize his body should have at least two impartial autopsies to determine the actual cause of death, and the general state of his arteries and heart. Not to do this works against his life's work, and for what reason?

He then lied and said his diet caused this stroke even though he was slim and eating the same food as other family members. BB King an overweight diabetic for over 40 years was working non stop touring the world giving concerts throughout his 80's eating tasty food and never had any heart surgery or stroke.

Her Nutritionists name was Jim Marlow and he ate a raw meat, primal diet and that’s what he was having me do with my daughter at the time. The diet worked but I don’t believe that it’s good long term. Anyhow, I just got word that her raw meat nutritionist died in his 60’s. 😢 Now I hear this about Dr. McDougall today and they were at opposite ends of the dietary spectrum so I can’t really say that either diet is right or wrong at this point but we really prefer the McDougall diet ❤

RIP Dr McDougall🙏❤️🌹

Thank you for your compassionate and considered response.

He lived a good life , a blessing to many. Getting to die at home and not in out of hospital last few years.. good deal

I just learned of him a few months ago. I heard he had a fall😢 He seemed to really want to help ppl. RIP.

The blue zones has been debunked. My Grandfather drank like a fish, ate meat and potatos. He died a couple weeks shy of 99 years. My Father drank and smoked till 65 and lived till 90. Therefore I drink very little and don't smoke. Dr McDougall's weight guidelines were amazingly unrealistic, look em up. Hope he is resting in peace.

People think if you eat healthy you will never die. Just think if he didn't eat healthy he might have died a long time ago. I think he extended his life by eating healthier.

Dr McDougal has a wealth of knowledge all on his web sight and its a history of his work gone but never forgotten!!!

There are so many factors besides diet. Stress, sleep, environment, what we allow affects us. But we are all mortal and going to die. My grandmother is 90 and still eats microwaved foods, her weekly donut, weekly bologna sandwiches, beans, cornbread, eggs, pork, whole milk, etc. 2 yrs ago was the first time she was put on a medication because she moved her bed (to fix it) and hurt her back. So finally she had to hire someone to mow her lawn. She still cleans her whole house, handles her bills, and is still very sharp. She lives in the middle of Dallas. I really believe it’s how she lets stress affect her. She has gone through a lot of hard things in life, however she is a resilient woman!

If Dr. Shawn Baker was who he was referring to, Dr. Baker has said many times he doesn't know the long term effect of Carnivore, what he does know is the positive effect it has on his patients health..

This was a respectful, balanced commentary. However, I believe Dr. Baker misspoke when he said the McDougall plan was limited to 5% protein. 5% fat, but I don't think protein was limited. Beans, tofu, etc., were part of the diet.

@evec2022

7 күн бұрын

Dr. MacDougall talked a lot about the fact that humans did not need more than 30g of protein a day. On several videos he said that most people shouldn't eat a lot of beans and he didn't recommend tofu but you could still eat it, as it was plant-based. I was vegan when I started following his videos and this is what struck me as not right. His justification was that it worked for all his patients. Yet he treated overweight, metabolically unhealthy people who were extremely sedentary. Dr. MacDougall himself was fairly sedentary. I often asked questions about this but never got an answer.

If it wasn't for his diet, he wouldn't have made it to 77, because he actually had a stroke before he was 20. He changed to a vegan diet after that, and went on to live decades and decades longer than expected.

I thought Baker was rather gracious - McDougall and his wife were/are frail looking. Anyone can see it. And Baker has never claimed he has the secret to longevity. I'm not even a carnivore but I have to correct you when you are wrong. No one talks about Dr. Atkins?

McDougall was great. Anyone can die of almost anything at any time. Anyone linking this to his excellent diet is just being emotional and not very smart. He didn't eat meat and he is one person who died. The only thing that's different is that he was a major figure and proponent of this lifestyle.

In the afterlife he ended up where everyone else does: either in dirt or in the oven. Calling it life is a stretch though.

The part that most people don’t understand is that he was in excellent health up until his death in bed sleeping. He wasn’t on a downhill spiral for the last 10-15yrs losing his mind and becoming debilitated. He was so mentally sharp. He still remembered off the top of his head the newsletters from the last 20yrs which topic was written on and could tell u accurately which medical journals he got his information from etc. does this sound like a typical 70-77yr old? Most are diabetic, hypertensive and loosing their marbles year by year. Their calendar is littered with doctors visits and their using medications on top of their medications. He had NONE OF THIS!!!!! This is what a starch based diet offers. It doesn’t offer immortality. Nothing does. The lifespan is largely genetic and luck. The healthspan is dietary and partially lifestyle. So go eat all the meat eggs dairy fish junk food u want. I tell ya now the vast majority of you will not be in good health all your life right up until your old age death ESPECIALLY after suffering a stroke in your teen years. Wake up everyone. Understand the message he has been sharing for the last half century.

Being vegan is about animals not health, if you are doing it for health then you are plant based and not vegan. I live a full vegan lifestyle, I do this for the animals and not my health. None of us know how much time we have regardless of who or what we eat. It’s not a guarantee that I will live longer because I don’t eat animals. Dr McDougall was a great man who exceeded his lifespan, he had a stroke at 18 and this can shorten life expectancy for the individual. But he went on to live a further healthy 59 years, dying peacefully in his sleep, he educated many folk on the benefits of eating plant based and in my opinion leaves a great legacy to be remembered.

In 2019, the life expectancy at birth for the U.S. population was 78.8 years, which was an increase from 2000 to 2019. However, life expectancy varies considerably within the U.S. and there are widespread gaps among racial and ethnic groups: According to MacroTrends, the life expectancy in the United States in 2024 is 79.25 years, which is a 0.18% increase from 2023. However, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) have projected lower life expectancies than the Census Bureau, which projects 79.9 years in 2024

The meet tribe and the anti vaccine crowd are going after it. He says 10% protein. He had a stroke at 18 and a bad fall so that could have something to do with it. I like your take. It was very respectful.

Vegans had a lot to say when Atkinson died at 72 for sure. That is what turned a lot of people vegan. I was WFPB for yrs and gained weight, got sick I had to put meat back in my diet and cut out a lot of carbs to start feeling better. 5:46 I was just putting this up when you started talking about Atkinson lol

Dr. McDougall had a heart attack when he was young. That was one thing that led him to discover the amazing, healing whole plant food diet. Although people can't completely undo previous damage done to their bodies by eating the standard American diet, they can drastically improve their health on a WFPB diet. If Dr. McDougall never switched to whole plant foods, he probably would have died before the age of 50. 77 is a good old age for someone who had a heart attack in his early thirties.

The he lived to be 77 is a testament to the human body. Not only that, he never got any chronic, debilitating or autoimmune disease after that stroke He died in his sleep, peacefully, as he wished. Ya know what I think? I think he got so tired of listening to idiots like this, that he just decided to leave the planet at 77.

The average age expectancy for a male in Canada is around 82... I suppose that Americans could be different but when you consider the fact that he was supposedly a lot healthier than most people just because of the mere fact that he cared about health, it is kind of shocking to hear that he passed away that young. I think the healthiest diet is to eat balanced macros. Restricting one or another is good for short term objectives but I don't think it's best as a long term strategy. This of course requires you to be metabolically healthy to begin with. Dr. MacDougall didn't have low muscle mass because of his diet, he had low muscle mass because he didn't lift weights. But on top of that, he claimed that humans did not need to eat more than 30g of protein a day and believed that a very low fat diet (less than 10g) was ideal. He believed that fat was the cause of insulin resistance. He projected the "ideal" diet on ALL humans based on his success treating unhealthy overweight patients. I'm a lean female, I lift heavy weights, run, and cycle. I did not do well on 30g of protein a day. And when I first started eating more than 10g of fat a day, I didn't feel well. So no, I absolutely do not think his diet is good for EVERYBODY and certainly not for the long term.

That's very true. We don't know what inside of our body, what does it need, what's missing. We read our body by the symptoms, the signs it trying to tell us. My belief is that just eat varieties of healthy natural foods and keeping an active lifestyle. Prepare your own meals so you know what's in there and the ingredients you want and that you can control your eating. Everyone dies, we all get there anyway, sooner or later. The most important is to live healthy away from illnesses and die peacefully without suffering in pain. It's not about living long, it's about being happy and health is happiness.

He was definitely a successful physician who healed most of his patients. His diet is not a terrible one, it's just not meant for everyone in the long term. It was very good for those who are overweight, sedentary, and unhealthy because it was probably much better than what they were eating on their own. But it was a low-protein, low-fat diet and that's not the best for a "normal" fit person who is active.

I will say Dr McDougall’s diet is 10-15% protein 65-75 carbs 10-15 fat. As you reach your optimal weight you can increase protein and fat to 20% and go 60% carbs. Of the carbs & Protein he would like 80-90% come from starches. If you are trying to lose weight faster he recommends a 50/50 plate 50% non starchy veg and 50% starch. It keeps you full and is very sustainable.

@@robz.3225 I don't think there's one diet that is universally better than another. I think each person has an ideal one for their body in a given moment in time but the body changes and we have to 1) know how to find that ideal diet and 2) know when it no longer works and adjust. Food is such an individual thing and what one person finds satisfying may not be the same as another. Obviously the keto people find fat satisfying but plenty of people find carbs more satisfying!

I followed his diet for a while and my health deteriorated to the point I was hospitalised.

False argument. False equivalence. No sane low-carb animal-based diet promoter is promoting steroided look. LEAN muscle however is good. But even if you put aside lean muscle issue, animal based diet promotes brain health, cartilage health, bone health, nerve health that simply is the opposite in high-carb diet. So what if some animal based diet follower died around 60? Health span, not life span matters. It is better to live life in joy and die some years or decades younger than live much longer with neurological, orthopedic ruins, absence of decent lean muscle for most of life, with serious psychiatric mental health issues etc.

Dr McDougall's Whole Foods starch/plant based way of eating saved my husband from getting a 3rd stent. Both of us began this way of eating in 2010. My husband lost 32 pounds and got off all Rx drugs for blood pressure & high cholesterol and pre-diabetes. In 3 months time his arteries cleared & his heart function became great- good strong blood flow to the heart as confirmed by his cardiologist's heart function tests. Mc Douglas is NOT to be compared to Atkins! Please! Mc Dougall's message was simple: eat real whole food, as much as would satisfy, whenever you were hungry, cut out or limit the fatty foods, and eliminate the meat and dairy and oil. Essentially, do what your mama always told you: eat your fruits and veggies! There was one twist though: focus the majority of your food are satiating starches such as potatoes, grains, and beans and lentils.My hubby loved eating this way and was never hungry. The world death rate remains stable at 100% ! We are ALL going to die! McDougall died in his sleep at home - I assume. He was not in a nursing home. We should all be so lucky ! I have seen family members are friend die horrible deaths! Read "The Starch Solution". McDougall told people for free on his website how to eat. I bought all his books but I didn't need to- he put the information out there for free.
