Dr Gundry anyone?
« on: June 27, 2018, 07:23:30 PM »

I stumbled across this guy the other day. Essentially, it was an infomercial I got sucked into. He seems to have an impressive resume' overall. After 10 minutes of repeated back patting, he started going into things more specific. This is a common ploy these types use in advertising themselves. I knew it and was curious at the same time.

Essentially, he came up with a 'good food' - 'bad food' list.

 https://gundrymd.com/plant-paradox-shopping-list/

I'm curious as to what y'all think of this fabrication. What prompted me to post this was the current 'bean' topics.

I can see some merit in his lists, but it just seems so off base compared to what a lot of the scientific/nutritional community has to say.

What say you?

Wow, my wife is reading that book right now - I had no idea what it was about. I'm skeptical of most diets - I will look into it when I have some time.

So, on the "No" list of foods is the following:  "All fruits (except in season fruit)."  Given the global economy, fruit is always "in season" somewhere, that's why we have the selection we have in all months of the year.  So what is that suppose to mean?

I thought he meant, "No processed fruit."  Who knows? 

About two years ago I bought from him some berry powder to mix and drink daily.  I did it for a few weeks (days?) and then just let it slip my mind after not taking it on a two-week trip.  I found the jars well in the back of the pantry a few months ago.  They're in the landfill now.

PS.  Right now I'm taking a wonder drug called Placebo.  It cures everything.

I always look at it from the prospective of he’s a salesman. He’s only going to share the info that helps him gain money, in this case your buying a book. If he has an infomercial he’s slightly below a used car salesman.
I work with a guy that loves to jump from one fad diet to another. We watched a “documentary” where the narrative was meat is bad because all the pollution In The atmosphere falls on plants and the plants absorb it. When an animal eats the plant they absorb the pollution. So you should not eat meat, just plants. Oh, they spent the last 20 min selling you a blender to make juice from plants. I guess the magic $400 blender got rid of the pollution the plants had absorbed.
That’s my take on fad diets. There’s always “research” and some wonderful Dr that knows better then 98% of the worlds medical community and you should buy his product. But he’s only selling it to you because he just cares about your health.
Heck, just visiting his web page makes him some advertising money.

After reading a bunch more about him I am concluding he's a snake oil salesman. Seems like he was a good and reputable doctor at one point in his life, but decided there's a lot more money selling expensive herbs and supplements. I think he's also involved in Goop.com, which is a bunch on nonsense pseudoscience BS.

One could spend days researching this stuff. I've spent hours. The truly ironic thing is, what you read seems to differ greatly.

One time it's No fruit. Another it's avacado and berries (only if in season) are ok  Yet again, it's avocado, green banana's, and green mangos allowed. Sugar is BAD! But he's all in for chemical sweeteners. Really? What's odd again is dairy products. Apparently, only milk/cheese from certain regions of the world are acceptable. Weird...

The further you dig, the more bizarre it seems.  ???

You should limit pork to 5 lbs a day. That's not including bacon, which is in its own food group and has no practical limit.

See!!!  they keep lowering the pork limit.  How can I fill the void in my soul with only 5lbs of pork?

I agree he is only out to make $$$.

My DR has been telling me for years that the secret to weight loss is calories in and calories out.

I finely tried it and sense March 16th I have lost 42lbs.. :clap:

At my age I am skeptical of just about everything because most (if not all) companies are out for their own personal profit. I really don't give a rat's a$$ about anything I see in advertisements and will exercise due diligence when exploring anything new.

I'm now officially classified as a cranky old man.
