I wish 90% of the people with internet would take the time to listen to this talk I feel a change in health would be recognized

Avoiding ultra processed foods is probably the single most important piece of health advice for everyone in the developed world.

I have stage 4 ovarian cancer and so far 12 rounds of chemo. My days would began with bread, baked beans, cereals etc and I would just go back to sleep most hours of the day cos I was just tired. I wasn't feeding my cells their blueprint but then I changed the beginning of my days with eating whole foods. For three months now I start my days of with baked sweet potatoes, yams, Steamed greens and two eggs, fruits. As long as I gave my body that startup in the morning and during the day I would eat brown rice or peanut butter wheat sandwhichs. I and everyone around me saw a drastic change. I had energy, I was cooking, sweeping and mopping the house, my muscles grew and I put on 7kg and my oncologist says I'm doing well for a stage 4 person. Another thing too is my accites. From being drained 8 litres of abdominal fluid every 3 weeks to now only 400ml every two weeks.

I've stopped eating carbs and sugars. No cakes, biscuits ect. No take aways or fast foods. I've gone back to eating as I did as a youngster... School dinners.. Meat and two veg once a day... Real food. 👍

The newly appointed Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson ought to make healthy eating a vital part of education in primary and secondary schools.

I wish more doctors were like you I think there would be a lot less sick people. Some people won’t listen to someone like me especially older family members. I’ve changed my diet to mostly organic whole food and like your patient feel so much better. I sometimes have a blip at weekend.but look forward to getting back on track because I feel so much better. People say organic is expensive but it’s cheaper than filling my shopping basket with rubbish so it doesn’t work out any more and tastes better. I don’t have any cereals , drink fruit juice just whole fruit and whole veg. Thank you - love your pod casts they keep me company whilst driving and doing the housework!

I am already on board with this advice, but this is very helpful information. I want to drill this information into my head again and again.

Currently I am doing Intermittent Fasting 16:8. 16 hours fasting (6PM - 12PM the next day) then 8 hours feeding time. What I noticed is that I have more energy throughout the day. On feeding time, I eat very high quality unprocessed foods (nuts, avocado, vegetables, fish, fruits for dessert). I hope it will help to heal my fatty liver and anxiety.

I wish my family would watch your videos , especially my sisters , they wouldnt even have the attention span to watch it and as soon as they feel attacked they'll click off . Oh well you cant change people i've learned that, they have to change on their own

Good honest down to earth advice, simply expained. Thank you so much for desire to inform and help others.

This is an extraordinarily valuable video. While listening to this video today, I came up with a snack recipe: ▪︎Sweet potato raw and sliced. ▪︎ Plant powered ranch dressing from Schnucks groceries. ▪︎ Diced red onions. ▪︎ Pepper, parsley, cayenne, etc. Thank you for all you do. Frank

Really reminds me of the talks by Chris Van Tulleken, UPFs are killing us

I went plant based and reversed my pre diabetes, my BMI, my triglycerides and cholesterol. 🥦

Very well said 👌🏻 I've implemented many of them rules... my weight drop down from 115kg to 90kg, I get rid of high blood pressure... I feel so much better... it's unbelievable. Thank you for spreading this knowledge, as many people doesn't realise how easy it is 💪🏻👋🏻

This is a wonderful video that shows the care and concern of mankind. You are a very kind Doctor. I am in America in Southwest Missouri and I watch you frequently and have been impressed with the suggestions you give to patients. I eat naturally good every day but I must confess there are times I do eat a little processed food once in awhile but I really don't think it's necessary. I needed to see this video to give me a push to stop the processed and go all authentic naturally. Love it! Thank You! 🙂

Thank you Dr🙏🏽 So thankful for people like you! I’m already changing my diet, so I can maintain a healthier lifestyle. I’m always researching so I can make the right changes. So many healthy options🙌🏽

This philosophy has changed my life. Thank you Rangan.

What an extraordinary man. So informative, humble… and compassionate. I wish he could teach the whole western world. Unfortunately big business clouds our knowledge and food choices. I wish him and his family the best in life.😊

Dr Rang, you are a GREAT physician! Most people are visual learners. Pictures shown on the screen, while you are giving health advice would convey your message way more clearly! Your viewers will remember to link your words to the pictures!

Over the past 20 years most likely even longer I've tried a lot of diets, all of which had a positive outcome but never lasting. What have that works in the past year, removing all seed oils from my diet. A fade that's catching on but one of the best move you can make. Once you head down this road almost every food product known to man is eliminated and all your left with are natural foods. No more fade diets.

WISE TRUTH SPEAKER. LISTEN AND SHARE! I have nothing in my cabinet that lists more than one ingredient. Period.❤

My mom would rather take 7 medications to manage her high blood pressure, high cholesterol and nerve issues from diabetes and anxiety. All with terrible side effects. I watch her eat sugary food and it's not just 1 piece of cake, it's 3. It's not just 1 glass of juice, it's downing 2. Then she complains about how her blood sugar is high. I really don't understand it. How can people not see food as medicine or poison? You wouldn't take 8 pills of your medication all at once so why would you eat 10 cookies? It's time for people to stop regarding binge eating as harmless fun. People are more and more aware of the gimmicks used to make specific foods addictive yet they don't care about their health enough. I'm not referring to people who have limited income and have to settle for cheap junk food but people who have options to eat healthy.

Eating breakfast then lunch in a 6 hour low carb protocol is not difficult or radical in my experience. It works nicely for me as I am not hungry after....

Magic recipes by Plant Based School on KZfaq: Mashed chick peas or pinto beans or red beans to black beans, .........+ chopped onions + crushed garlic + flax seeds flour + chopped parsley + your choice of spices made into patties are DELICIOUS. These patties keep you so FULL.....just try it ONCE and find out for yourself. These patties can be kept in the freezer. (These patties + green salad + eggs) or (these patties + green salad + salmon) + dried figs/dates/raisins WILL HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT

GOOD EVENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THIS DR. IS A BLESSING AND EXAMPLE. THANKS A LOT, I WILL CONTINUE PRAYING FOR OUR HEALING..WE NEED TO STOP THIS ENEMIES NOW. THE FAT OF HE TALKS ABOUT FAMILY TOO IS WELCOME...WE ARE ALL A FAMILY BROTHERS AND SISTERS.LOVE FROM MIAMI FLORIDA ❤ GOD BLESS YOU AND GIVE US THE DISCIPLINE AND STRENGTH TO HAVE A HEALTHY DIET.❤

Excellent Advise! Thank you

Nice video I just finished watching the whole thing!

Love listening to you Rangan, your pidcasts are easy to understand and make good life choices easy in that you present them in a doable way, a step by step process, and in many cases free... thanks for sharing and more than that thanks for CARING! 😊💖

Excellent but could be briefer And I am an 85 year old vegetarian with near optimal health markers

I so appreciate this talk!! :) Thank you!! well delivered message

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your passion!

Thank you so much for your immense openness and honesty in all the things you share on here. Bless you.

LOVE YOUR PODCASTS DEAR DR, YOU'RE DOING GREAT INPUT IN PEOPLE'S LIFE! THANK YOU

The comparison about people eating 500 more calories a day when eating the equivalent nutritionist (calories, fat, protein, fiber...) per day is due to 3 reasons.. 1.) as you say here, the highly addictiveness of the chemicals they intentionally use 2.) The taste can often be the reason but this is what was an a-ha for me and what I am realizing is completely true 3.) Because your cravings also come from malnutrition. When deprived, our body is craving nutrients which make you eat more, never satisfied. When you eat nutritious food, your body is satiated with ACTUAL nutrients. I am convinced that a large number of us might be diagnosed with some level of "malnutrition". That would be an interesting topic to cover. While i was aware as this kind of food f'd up my childhood, it shocked me to discover out how few days of eating healthy vs crap can impact the microbiome and your mental health. I think i discovered that on your channel:)

Dr Rangan, I love your podcasts, vidéos etc, You show your passion to stay healthy. As an RN , I feel so sad to see patients with chronic conditions that could have been prevented by education and dedication Unfortunately , the governments worldwide aren’t doing enough about it.., the food industry is the culprit too What is the WHO doing with governments and food industrie ? Too much suffering out there 😢

❤ Thank you very much. Pl also think what are we feeding our minds and souls. Love or hate. Highest energy or Negetive energy ??? God bless everyone 🙏

Cherry Juice mixed with bottle water is amazing for the body. Drink first thing in the morning wait half hour then eat breakfast. Amazing good for pain in the body good for the brain and bowels. Do not drink straight. A 1/4 cup of juice and top with water drink before breakfast skip lunch but sip some juice then drink before dinner helps with sleep disorder. Also eat Morello Cherries helps with sleep as does Jarlsberg cheese which is good for pain.

Thank you for doing this video, I have leart such a lot from you. I am 71 so you are never too old to learn. Just came across you, so have now subscribed.

That hardest part is avoiding processed seed oils. Almost every restaurant and food place in my area uses them, my acne cleared 100% after avoiding them for a month. But i really love eating out lol

Your advice and brilliant podcasts have transformed my life. Started with your first chat with Jessie Inchauspé and have been hooked ever since. It's amazing to feel the difference instantly. I really wish I could convince my friends and family to make the change but I think the most effective way is to keep working on yourself and let them notice the change for themselves.

Agree with everything except that in a day or two you will feel better. For me, it took around three months. I changed my diet not because I thought it would help me with all the health problems that came out of nowhere about 8 years ago and almost destroyed me but because my son wanted to try something for his purposes and I just joined. OMG, 1 year and a half passed and I have almost forgotten 8 years of nightmare that I went through thanks to the food I was eating and paying for!

Facts after facts during this realistic talk…

Thank you! I feel so much better on a non processed diet!

I find it surprising most people don’t already know that whole foods are real foods. If it comes in a box or pkg it is probably processed. When grocery shopping, shop the perimeter. That’s where the whole foods are.

I wish these weren’t so looooong! Who has time to listen to the whole thing? 😢

Amazingly informative info! I’ve shared it with a few friends and family . THANKYOU 🙏🏼 I’ve started making all the changes you’ve suggested as I need to reverse my type 2 diabetes . I’ve always loved healthy food cooking from scratch etc .. but my weakness addiction has always been sugar and carbs as my treats …also wine ( more sugar) so I’m trying to reverse this. Also started having mini fasts and leaving 15 hours between eating . Lots of water ! I’m finding the herb called KUDZO very helpful in reducing cravings for sugar and alcohol … also after only a few days of having high strength turmeric I’ve noticed a reduction in muscle joint pain.

Invest into a whole food diet and the quality of your life changes forever. Its tough at 1st , because sourcing the food often is a challenge, as is knowing how to cook it. We also wait 4 hours after waking before breakfast and eat dinner before 530pm every day, with no food after that. IF ( intermittment fasting ) can help regulate your relationship with insulin, a key to metabolic health.

Medicine should take personalisation into account as each of our fingerprints are different so are each of our bodies. The best thing we can do is look at ourselves and make a little change for the better and this can have a snowball affect. After many years of using bad habits to ease my stress, I turned around my mindset and instead of thinking about things and procrastinating, I just started doing. Going for a walk in the woods. Sunshine on my skin. Little things.

Very interesting, many of us are addicted to an unhealthy diet. I’d love a video on excessive internet and social media addiction, this is just as important as our food consumption IMO.

...and what's the common denominator in processed foods? Seed oils. Don't fear clean carbs.

I live in the UK and was a tea drinker until very recently. I believe that tea should also be considered a processed and highly chemical substance which has caused me many health issues. I know it was the tea as a day after I stopped drinking it these health issues started to go away. I personally, will never drink tea or coffee again. There is very little information about tea. Tea companies seem to get over looked but there product is highly toxic.

Please interview dr Alex Hershaft

❤ thanks so much.. very helpful, Liz 😊

My Grandmother used to cook Potato and onion stew , delicious , but was this healthy ? I am told that potatoes are full of starch !

Thank you Dr

For me you need to make health something that interests you like educating yourself with these type of vids and over time you'll tailer a lifestyle that works for you constantly tweeking as you learn more and absorb more information its a journey

People moved from home to hospitals when food moved from kitchen to factory.

Correct. Change comes so quickly. Processed chemical junk makes you feel terrible. Food as grown. Eat ingredients.

You made it ! A three hour one !

I've been eating green olives from a glass while watching this. Now, admittedly, they'd had their pits removed and they were filled with tomato paste. So I'm guessing I've been eating ultra-ultra-processed food...

Five different colors of vegetables I wonder how many pesticides are on those five colors?

I’ve found what minerals and vitamins my body needs and choose foods that give me their intake plus supplements

I recently bought an air fryer. It is so easy to dehydrate fruit and veggies to snack on without buying to ultra processed foods. Fresh pineapple turns into candy, chicken wings don't need oil or flour to get them crispy. Best way to preserve food and stay on a real food plan, Fast food? Nothing is faster to eat then a fresh piece of fruit or a veggie.

Nobody can be at a normal weight while eating an ultra processed diet. No way

I can’t download the free guides... I even signed up for the free newsletter. You have my email address but what I had wanted was the free guide

Thank you for this information.

I’d be interested to know your thoughts on the blood type diet?

Nice one Rangan and Mark.

Frozen chips , are there any without sunflower oil ?

as for costing less to buy the processed foods, you are going to pay- either the doctor or the grocery store.

Thank you Dr. Chatterjee

What do you think of the meal kits as a time saver?

I don't know any vegetables that look like fish? Weird!

shorten your videos, get to the point, people are busy, it will help you get better, but you are right

Excellent video!

Is turmeric a good prebiotic fiber to take?

Think feel do.Challenge your thoughts

Will this work for the mentally ill?

Do not eat what comes in box or package..... ..Eat whole foods veg fish chicken turkey and less or nocarbs .Eat veg and protein first and carb last ypu will find when you do this you will not want your carb you will beso full .Ihave yried this way

thank you

You are fantastic thank you

Are Wholegrain Porridge Oats good for breakfast. ?

salt?

Meat that looks like meat! Many folks think salami is meat. Fish that looks like fish. Most people think fish fingers are fish.

The title is deceiving. It's not your call to predict death.

When a person loses a stone worth of 14 pounds, I don’t know what he is taking about. How big was this stone? I’m off.

.. No perfect diet...

Amen❤

I dont like avocado so the idea of someone carrying one around in their pocket and just eating it like an apple is very funny!

This is so important now when they have invented these new fake 3D printed meat. I do wonder what that will do for our health.

I've asked you this before on several occasions but so far no answer. Why don't you interview Dr Michael Greger for example, in order to gain a proper perspective on the vegan diet, based on the evidence. It isn't enough to stay away from ultra processed foods because the animal variety will cause you systemic inflammation and that's a harbinger of disease.

How have you been? You've put to think of all people who eat every food and they are so happy. We let the cats out of the bag. Stress is the real people killer. Think of it twice, be careful with the toxic information at internet, pornographies and wrong news are exterminating the human being. Exercise and sleep in peace during 8 hours are the best medicine ever, I know many people who got 100 years or more and they eat what appear on their plates and I know of others who live taking care and live sick. Kind greetings.😀😃😂😅

Just go fishing

You still grifting for AG1

Cheery title.

I worry that you're preaching to the converted, maybe get back on tv?

🙏🙂

Sorry, you lost me at "eat more plants". That is a bogus set of wishful thinking. Plants dont wotk for everyone. I could tolerate meat day one. Ive tolerated it everyday for over two years and in fact dont just tolerate the meats but am thriving and recovering from a plant based fallacy. It seems you just want people to eat plants. Maybe for some people fhis is good for a while, ut it certainly is not the best diet All that fiber and all those supposed benefits are un pro en fheoretical garbage. You dont need all thise bugs in your biome if gou just never eat those stupid foods Eat meat. It feeds the body. Eggs. Meat. Dairy. The coods that cha ge lives
