I love how Dr. McDougall looks at his wife with so much love! Notice how they glow when they smile at one another!

These webinars with Gustavo were the highlight of my weekends! I have not watched a regular t.v. since my teens. I cannot believe this was over six years ago. I'm ready to watch them all again.

I did Mary's mini and lost 10 lbs in 10 days. I chose potatoes and still eat them at least 2x daily.

I met a young man in his late teens on a flight from Africa to NYC. He was traveling to the USA to go to school. He was so excited about the food being served on the plane. He was awarded a scholarship to attend school in the USA and had never been on a plane. He told me that all he ever ate at home was rice and some fruit and vegetables grown by his uncle. I asked him a lot about the specifics of his diet. He was the picture of health. Perfect teeth. Beautiful skin. Trim and fit. He insisted that all he ate was rice with seasonings and the occasional fruit and veggies offered by his uncle.

Yes, when we greet in Chinese or Mandarin, we say, "Have you eaten your rice?" literally.

Everything Dr. McDougal said after the nursing mother question was SO TRUE and SO COMMON SENSE.

On this mono dieting topic- I'm 40 I went vegan at age 15 and lived on rice for every single meal for many years, sometimes I'd add some veggies or fruit but they looked more like a condiment. Sometimes I switched to baked potatoes and another time hot cereals but I always ate the same starch for every meal. I got married at 26 so I became much more diverse but always was and am a whole food produce vegan eater. I did not have any deficiencies nor did I even think to supplement until I got into my 30s and started to study nutrition. So mono dieting on real plant food that has enough energy (aka calories) not only works but is very enjoyable.

R.I.P John Mcdougall The man the machine the legend Thank you for helping my family as well as so many❤ I continue to share your message and give away your books to those who need it😊

Even though you were fired you should still do the presentation on your channel. I would love to hear it.

I know it isn't funny, but I get so tickled every time the mention of Dr McDougall getting fired from the obesity convention, is so amusing I just get so tickled. The good Doctor pointing out how fat these diet doctors are, is so hilarious, I just love it. Puts a grin on my face every time I hear or think of it.

She said on the 10 days you could use a little sugar, salt ,salsa, soy sauce, ketchup. with the starch. And you can have veggies too, sounds like a normal meal.

Mary is just lovely. In fact so is Mr. McDougall.

We have potatoes sweet and idaho, frozen mixed veggies, canned green beans, broccli, we try to change it around for instance I cook the joy pasta with canned tomatoes, garlic, onions, green peppers, italian seasoning, veggies on the side. Fridays we have sweet potatoes & broccli. Salads too. Wednesdays we have our mexican food, brown rice with Braggs natural soy sauce, cooked onions, mixed veggies or cut up cooked carrots mixed in and for spice I use picante sauce, black beans and cumin and no oil corn tortillas. Sundays mashed potatoes and Mary's gravy, veggies and salad. Other meals we have soups made out of leftovers, such as mexican soup from the leftovers, minestrone soup from left overs all I do is add enough water, and another can of tomatoes added to these leftovers. We have bought Cosco's lg. bags of organic frozen blueberries and cherries what ever they have plus frozen organic mixed veggies, corn, green beans and broccoli plus their Kirkland canned green beans and canned tomatoes. Very economical and I don't have to shop but once a month for these items. This is my 22 day of McDougling and I have lost 21 pounds and I feel so much better, energy, arthritic pain lessened a lot. Cleaning out my arteries and no more terrible painful heartburn gone completely. I have no gall bladder so it is a blessing to eat this way for me. No oil, no meats, zero fats, my husband eats bread I don't because flour causes heartburn, but I don't miss it. We have oatmeal, with frozen fruit, cinnamon and brown sugar. We love it everyday and look forward to eating everyday and we are full and satisfied. Its so funny I can tell if a food has oil such as breads, pancakes, ect. because I have immediate heartburn. But I can have oatmeal flour and rice flour. Again we eat every thing organic most of the time. Thanks be to God for y'all caring so much and sharing!

I love Dr McDougall, he saved my life.

Update: Blood test results have just arrived: HbA1c 4,6% (fasted blood glucose 64 mg/dl), LDL cholesterol 68 mg/dl, triglycerides 77 mg/dl, total cholesterol 140 mg/dl. No more hypertension, no more prediabetes! And, of course, it is nice to be lean and fit! Thanks, Dr. McDougall!

Instead of buying frozen brown rice you can cook a big pot of it, then get freezer bags and use a measuring cup and scoop out 1/2 cup (or whatever size you want) and set in the freezer bag. Do this until you have enough rice mounds in your bag. Leave space between the rice mounds (lay bag on it's side), close the freezer bag seal, and freeze. This way you just pull out the amount you need from your freezer to heat up when needed.

LOVE SEEING DR MCDOUGALL AND MARY THEY ARE FABULOUS PEOPLE AND THEY SURE DO CARE ABOUT PEOPLE AND THERE HEALTH

I love the mcdougall webinars, and Mary showing up is a big bonus, She is very beautiful, and I love her, wish I had the time and money to meet John and Mary

Be glad the presentations are free people!!!!

"Why would you appetite be wrong? It makes no sense". That is true wisdom right there. Thank you

Thank you for this wonderful webinar, Gustavo, and to Mary and Dr. McDougall for taking the time to give us all this great information. The Starch Solution has saved my life.

Gustavo does a great job with these webinars - they are much appreciated!

yes the sound and video quality is good for me

Love love LOVE Mary!!!

Very informative and Gustavo does a great job with the interviews. Dr. McDougall really loves his wife and I love how he gives her praise and expresses how he's still attracted to her after all the years they've been together. I thought that all potatoes (sweet and white) could be eaten while on the Mini, but I see that you stick to one or the other. Make it as boring as possible, lol.

What a delightfu lady; love you both Dr. John and Mary. And thank you Gustavo.

Awesome video! Really enjoyed watching this while eating a massive bowl of oatmeal. Great to hear from Mary as well. And I totally agree doc, screw political correctness! Too bad you got kicked out of that obesity conference. Don't worry about the sound quality, it's fine!

Dr. McD, you are a hoot! It's great seeing Mary with you.

Get Mary in every webinar! She is even better than the doctor!

I love these two and you for presenting wonderful educational information. I have all of his books and so enjoy watching these, thank you so very much!

thank you so much Dr Gustavo... i really appreciate you scheduling and coordinating all the webinars... i have re-watched it so many times and still need many more for the points to sink in... and i love Dr John and Mary's generosity to help others! plus they are so sweet together :)

Thanks for your time and information to help others.

Thank you Mary for joining in on the webinars!💕 Happy belated Dr. McDougall!

We love you Dr McDougall. Please keep them coming. God bless.

I love my Dr McDougall, and I'm loving Mary too. Thank you both and thank you Gustavo.

So grateful to the three of you for the time and energy you put into this. Great info!! :)

THERE LOSS FOR FIRING YOU YOU ARE THE GREATEST DR MCDOUGALL AND MARY

Great video!

I really appreciate these videos! Thank you very much. 😎

Nice job, all three of you. Fun to listen to and the compassion and caring comes through loud and clear.

I honestly can't stand how cute this video/chat is! I had to watch it a second time...I HAD TO!

My husband and I did this for 10 days and it was wonderful. He lost 10 lbs and I lost 6. We never got tired of potatoes and believe me, I found different ways to prepare them. So simple though. Nothing to really think about or stress over. And it really reset our palates. We're going to do this again because over time we went back to our varied starch based diet with richer plant foods mixed in. I just like the simplicity. Thank you Dr. and Mary McDougall, you have changed our lives.

It's great to hear from both Dr.McDougall and Mary McDougall! :)

Wonderful, thank you!! you changed my life, there are no words for my graditude

This was a great message and I had no problems with anything. Thank you

I have been eating my head off for a week, mostly starches, maybe too much fruit, and green and yellow things, like peas and carrots. I have gone from 216 pounds to 214 pounds, Friday morning to Friday morning. Narrowing down the choices to just yams, or just potatoes, I could see how that would slow me down a bit. Still I feel great and satisfied. Far better than when I was eating meat and eggs as a part of a strictly regulated "food addicts" diet for the last three years. Thank you. Glad I found your stuff here on You Tube shortly after deciding to go vegan.

No complaints about the video link quality. High praise for the content. Keep 'em coming.

great job as always! 😀

You guys rock! Thank you for doing these webinars. 🌼

Dr Mcdougall is my superhero!

Please convince Mary to post some recipe videos. Lots of love!

thank you so much, for your webinars they are so helpful to my husband and I

Great job, thank you for doing this for free.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THE McDougalS AND YOU ARE FABULOUS

Mary is beautiful. love this one! they are the greatest

You all look great ❤️ thanks for sharing ❤️

Thank you for this webinar, and for sharing your info for free! I appreciate it!!

No reason to apologize! Thank you for all you do!

Wonderful webinar!! Keep them coming!!! 😬😬

I miss these webinars but am so grateful that Gustovo and Dr. M (and Mary) recorded them. I refer to them now and again. Thank you very much. Have a lovely day.

Hi I really wish that Dr. McDougall would give the exact talk that he proposed to the obesity conference so we could see what got him fired I’m assuming it’s telling the truth he’s really good at that whether or not they want to hear it

Yes I agree ...you al are doing a great job....love it ...sydney australia

I cook my brown rice like pasta--with a lot of water then drain the excess. It's great. You don't have to watch it. It doesn't stick or burn on the pot.

thanks for another great presentation

Excellent video! What a treat to have Mary as a guest. Yes the audio is inconsistent but, easily to adjust along the way. The knowledge Dr. McDougall shares far outweighs any technical issues. Great job Gustavo and thank you all for your time and work spreading the truth! I am living proof after losing 50 pounds and my blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose returning to healthy levels by following the McDougall plan!

i love these people! thank you, dr. mcdougall, mrs. mcdougall, and gustavo!! 😆

sound is perfect! Thank you for these webinars, they are great!

As always, mega thanks for these great seminars! Very uplifting! :)

Love these two!!!

i also love the webinars. thanks so much

And these webinars are great Gustavo :) great job!

Gustavo--Thank you so much for these webinars. I am just thrilled to get the information! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

My wife's favourite brown/red rice based breakfast: Large bowl of rice, a few pureed ripe bananas (add a slice of lemon to the blender), a tblsp of ceylon cinnamon, a cup of blueberries. My 19 month old son loves it, too.

No fruit is a change from the 2006 MM guidelines. I understand the reason for it though and can certainly get through 10 days without it. Staying in MWL for the time being. I look forward to your webinar on that. Thank you so much for everything!

Loving this video in 2021. Thank you 🌸💖💐🌺

OMG Mary is such a cutie!!

I love Mary!!!!❤🌿💚💙🍀

your doing great...thanks for all you guys do....we love you Mary & john & YOU AS WELL....

We bought a pan with a ceramic surface and it's great. We saute without oils and we pan fry potatoes with no sticking! Thanks, Mary for the tip.

Sound quality is great, so is the content. Can't help but fall in love with Mary, she's most adorable. Herbamare is another really good seasoning mixture, they have a salt free one and a hot spice mix as well, they have a Bombay spice mix and can be found at Wholefoods and other grocery stores & health food stores.

Look at how he looks at her❤❤❤so sweet

Awesome presentation and tips. You guys are awesome 👏👏👏👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ team.

Gustavo. Thank you for all you do. Suggestion. You can easily improve our listening experience by positioning your microphone at a distance from your mouth similar to Dr. M's. Yours is usually closer than his and consequently signifigantly louder. That way we the viewers will not have to continually adjust our volume control as you two talk. Even better would be if you BOTH use a clip-on and clipped on in the same place on your shirt.

I love them!

Fantastic stuff!

awesome couple

No technical problems now in 2023, I just started on your programme last night, I feel great, but cheated tiny bit, but I need to do that as I think too much shock to my system not a good idea, I don't eat much, but a few wrong things, I have severe back pain by end of day, add, I'm tired, I am 66, I have heartburn, mood swings, a stimulant doesn't help, depression, so I need answers, u guys seem most honest. I won't eat meat which these credentialed people are advocating, its insane 😳 out there!

And Gustavo, you are a wonderful presenter. And thanks so much to Dr. and Mary McDougall. If only I'd known about this diet earlier. My mom, who I very much resemble, also suffered from Migraine and went on to have a lot of Cardio-vascular disease with by-pass, meds, etc. and was in the hospital many times. She would have loved this diet, and I really feel she would have benefitted so much from eating this way.

Great video!

Thank you!

Respect guys

I would love to hear more about what she fed her children. On what and how much they really do need to thrive. Please and thank you lol

That no salt seasoning from Costco is the jam. It's kind of like Spike seasoning. So good on steamed potatoes and sweet potatoes, broccoli, etc.

Gustavo, your lighting is great!

Wow she's adorable!

I am going to try this! Thanks for your thoughts and ideas to you both!!!!!!

You're doing a great job, Gustavo. We are all so spoiled with filmstudio quality but the real point of these recordings is to get the message across and that's all it needs to do and you're doing it well. I don't see any problems with it at all. (we are all a little perfectionist inside, right?) I looked forward to Mary all week! Thank you for the tips about the cooking with no oil, i know John has said it so much, no oil! *cringe* ok ok! I will change my ways now and buy a new pan and throw my frying pans out. They are old and they stick, no good. I am eating a wonderful bowl of sourkraut right now that was cooked the right way. It doesn't taste that different at all! I am going to try to adjust all my favorite dishes this way. Slowly we are getting somewhere. Thank you for your generosity to share all this with us. I am growing food too, a lot actually. It's going to be a great eating year, i can feel it. Love and support to all others.

Love u both.

If you want to cook brown rice, soak it overnight, drain the water, add fresh water (1 part of rice 1 part of water). It will cook in half the time and will be much cleaner. Dr Greger recommends it also on his website.

They are so beautiful and all that love they give to each other...they look young 💗🥰
