How extreme was Dr. Kempner’s rice diet compared to traditional surgical approaches? Is there a safer alternative?

This is a normal diet in Japan. We are naturally super low fat, high carb, moderate protein. We ate tons of white rice and were skinny until western diet added oil and fat. Then our diabetes skyrocketed and people started lower carb/brown rice and we are even more diabetic.
Dr. Greger cherrypicks the data in this video. At 4:36 he pull quotes the morality rate at being 1.9%, but the Summary page that serves as the background states that "(Various bariatric procedures in current use) have been performed with an overall mortality rate of less than 1%" That's about the same as getting your gallbladder removed, which he mentions in another video as a totally safe and routine procedure.
I expect better Dr. Greger.
Best diet for weight loss is high carb low fat 80-10-10 style or Dr mcdougall starch solutions. It's comfortable and you can eat more volume of food.
It's all about the MONEY! If people stopped eating processed foods the economy would collapse. No Big Food, no Big Pharma, No jobs for those in the food industry from chefs cooking the crap to factories making the crap. No need for large scale heart surgery and medical insurance It will not be allowed to happen by the rulers.
"Travesty" is a key word in the SAD.
Raw till 4
can you do a video on medicinal mushrooms like lions mane, chaga, shiitake, turkey tail etc??
What's wrong with feeling hunger? Feel hungry and enjoy it.
waiting for the "health at any size"-squad…..
obesity like other conditions like high blood pressure or high cholesterol is called a disease when it is in fact a adaptation to some stress physical, mental or chemical. I have done low cal diets and sure I lost alot of weight (unfortunantly it was mostly muscle and water) but was never able to sustain it. hunger like sleep builds up a debt that sooner or later will have to be satisfied or you will die. what we have here is a misunderstanding of what true disease is. I have bene fighting obesity for many decades, I have yet to figure out what the stressor is that keeps this weight and keeps my body fighting to hold onto it with teeth like a pitbull.
This is the first I have heard about frying the brain to curb appetite. Now I know what happened to me. 19 months ago (Oct) I had a temperature of 104 for 48 hours. Don't know where it came from or why it left. I stayed hydrated but that was all I could do. It took me about 1 week to realize my addiction to carbs was gone. First Halloween that I didn't buy extra candy just for me. I made the decision to take advantage of the new food outlook and went WFPB. I lost 75 pounds in a year and maintained since, eating as much as I want of WFPB items only. I am 64 and have lived 50 years as an addict with no control. I am now free and it has been the best year of my life.
Do you know if this diet resulted in huge sagging skin? Seems to me that this diet literally fixed everything!
The western industrialized agricultural and dietary pattern is death.
Organically raised plant based nutrition is life.
What's interesting in this information there's no data:1) how long this diet can be used?
2) is there any side effects of it?
3) How this diet can influence life span?
4) what will happen if patiens widen a range of foods they can eat?
what a paradox. america is both obese and caffeine/meth addicted at the same time!
Fasting & Avoiding gluten, dairy and sugar. Eat High Fat and Low Card!! Reach out to me if you need help. Is not difficult!
Of course they lost weight in the short run, but did they keep it off? It’s dishonest and dangerous to act like there’s actually evidence of people keeping off weight this way. The rice diet is so dangerous and restrictive Kempner literally admitted to WHIPPING patients that broke the rules of the diet to keep them motivated.
I don’t understand why obesity isn’t treated like anorexia; like a life threatening eating disorder that requires serious in-patient medically supervised and insurance paid treatment.
They will pay to do dangerous surgery that often ends badly but not to really treat the person.
I’ve lost 141lbs in just 1 year via whole-foods plant-based diet (WFPBD) & walking 15,000 steps daily (while listening to your books on Audible). Free online summits & interviews hosted by Chef AJ, John Robbins and others present evidence-based examples showing why, how and where a WFPBD has worked to improve (and sometimes save) so many lives, including your grandma! You and other well-qualified medical experts are impacting peoples’ lives by sharing actionable content online to help more of us embrace a WFPB lifestyle. We’re learning easy-to-prepare recipes that are healthy & delicious so we can all be kinder to ourselves, the animals & our planet. Thank you Sir!
Thank you, Dr Greger! Waiting for your next book is torture tho!!
ThankYou Dr G. Grateful
