Also of note. If you compare Barnards vegan diet to low-carb…
A recent japanese study of severely diabetic patients showed a MASSIVE reduction in? HbA1c from 10.5 to 7.4 !! This is huge, and vastly superior results to what Barnard’s vegan diet showed.
He never tested his diet against a low-carb control, because he knows he’d lose.
Read Dr. Richard K. Bernstein, MD – both a medical doctor AND a diabetic to get some great information on low-carb and treating diabetes properly.
@peaceandlove4949:? But of course, all these “TV doctors” are selling books…and other items are their web site. I might suggest that everyone IGNORE THESE FAD DOCTORS and talk to a RD (Registered DIETICIAN; not just a nutritionist; dieticians are certified.) There are ones at every hospital. Remember how popular the doctors who hyped the Atkins and South Beach diets were? Now it turns out they were quite wrong. Don’t folow fads or product-selling doctors. Read up on your own.
you don’t need to go vegan to reverse diabetic symptoms…just cut out refined carbs and sugar….have some meat…have some dairy….enjoy your life…don’t eat soy crap either. Vegans have an agenda because they bleed for furry little critters….but to? tie diabetes to oil and meat products is just lamo and not scientific of course. Any diabetic knows this..it’s the high glycemic carbs that are the enemy…not oliive oil and filet mignon. This guy’s training is in psychiatry…and it shows.
Does a vegan diat? help if I have Typ 1?
This stinks? of New Age BS.
@yuvaraj285 i am very interested to reply to all? your questions about god. please
let me these Qs.
god never show affectionate and forgiveness,he always show a perfect judge.i am having a lot of questions about god,is? god a true human or true judge?
lame,
only reason it works is raw stuff, but how about oil intake, eating oils? still high? carbs
MikeK241?…Are you still? alive?
MikeK241?…Are? yoiu still alive?
@gledalac1979
Er…you’re saying you go vegan, you die? Are you deranged? What possible evidence do you have to back up your? statement?
It’s the cutting down on white flour and sugar that makes this program successful, it has nothing to do with the actual Vegan diet…you could just as well reverse diabetes by eating a high fat diet as long as you keep the glycemic index low, and no you won’t get heart disease? either. Heart disease is an inflammatory chronic disorder, not a fat metabolism disorder.
@gledalac1979 What an? intelligent statement!!
@pam0077 Pam, Just try the program and see what happens in 3 weeks.? You will see for yourself that the program works.
I am a Type II diabetic, and I have always been a skeptic, but I have been following Dr. Barnard’s suggestions about eating vegan since last October….and my A1c dropped from 14 to 6.2. I’m in, kids. No one can convince me that? veganism has had nothing to do with such a profound drop in these numbers.
anyone who listens to this guy will be dead before they know? it
Dr. Barnard is great! ? He’ll be on “Carla’s Cooking” on Blog Talk Radio on July 19th 7pm PDT/10pm EDT.
@pam0077 “You will never see him publicly acknowledge that he was the president of the radical fringe group called People for? the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) as recently as 2003.” He wouldn’t acknowledge this because it’s simply not true. If I’m not mistaken, Ingrid Newkirk has been president of PETA since she co-founded it in 1980.
@fsufan475 Going vegan has nothing to do with avoiding food groups. Vegans still eat from the “Meat and Alternatives” group, we just only eat the “Alternatives”, and? same goes for the “Dairy and Alternatives” group.
The first group is concerned with protein, which we get from beans, lentils, soy foods, etc. The second group is concerned with calcium, which we get from beans, leafy green veggies, fortified products, etc.
@lekichnhuong Yes, it’s? a shame… Most people want easy answers, easy solutions. They want optimal health but they don’t want to do the planning that is necessary to achieve it.
Another reason to avoid the Vegan Diet is EFA deficiency, primarily DHA/EPA. Plant based Omega3 efa, known as Alpha Linolenic acid has to be converted for your body to use as? DHA/EPA, this conversion rate in humans is very? low, usually at a rate of 1-4%. Jesus, the saviour of the world ate fish, it should be ok for everyone else.
I’ve been on this diet less than a week and it’s already working. I stopped one of my meds 3 days into the new diet and it looks like i’ll be going off my last med. Woke up this morning with a? great reading without taking medicine. Pick up his book, it’s REALLY WORTH IT!! I’ve also lost a few pounds too and I feel great!!!!! Thanks Dr. Barnard!!!!
I saw this show on Saturday and instantly fell in love with him. He speaks clearly, makes lots of sense? and explains things my doctors have touched on but never explained well. I think he is fantastic and I wish he had a facebook or myspace page so I could follow him!
Be aware…
Dr. Barnard is shamelessly hiding an animal rights ideological agenda behind this new vegan-only diet book.
You will never see? him publicly acknowledge that he was the president of the radical fringe group called People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) as recently as 2003. His current organization, PCRM, is primarily funded by PETA.
Dr. Barnard is not an endocrinologist, dietary physician, nor even an intern. He is a trained psychiatrist.
