So many people pour their time, energy, and hard-earned cash into shake mixes, supplements, and speciality products. And they think this time and money is well spent because they’re making the “healthy” choice. But what if they’re wrong? What if those healthy choices aren’t ACTUALLY healthy at all? That’s why Dr. Gundry created his eating program.
As it turns out, even “health” foods like fruit and vegetables can actually do your body harm.
Why? Plants don’t want to be eaten. They simply want to survive. One of the ways they defend themselves against hungry animals like us is by producing toxic chemical compounds - proteins known as lectins.
How do we know what foods to consume and what to steer clear of? Learn more about lectins and the foods that we should be avoid on the official Blog: gundrymd.com/cmd.php?ad=993387

Doctor Gundry, I hope you will read and answer this. My mother suffers from high potassium. One of the vegetables with low potassium that she can eat is eggplant. Now you are saying that eggplant contains high lectin. What then can she eat? Thanks.
Very interesting sind important
Hi there! While there are many great benefits of following a lectin-free diet (like a boost in energy and improved gut health!) the preference of following this lifestyle is up to you. We recommend consulting with your primary care physician to discuss a plan that works best for your health.
Hey doc I have an important question. I know you said stay away from fruit, but I was wondering everyday I squeeze 1 lime into a 32 ounce bottle and I fill it with water all the way to the top. Is that ok for me even though it’s diluted or should I stop doing that? Hope to hear from you thank you.
Hi there! Due to high volume, Dr. Gundry is unable to answer every incoming question. We appreciate the time you took to write this question, we will submit it to our growing list of FAQs. Thank you!
I’m beginning to think humans are here just to drink water 🥴
But, only if it's pure. That stuff out of the tap, which most of us have to drink, as we can't afford fancy water filtration systems, will kill you! I suppose breatharianism, is an option, if only the air weren't so polluted! 😉😉
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😅
No, too much water is bad and chemicals are used to filter n clean it ….Air is already polluted so you can’t eat that one too…these people will take you to moon soon …actually they are making people nutrients deficient so that they can sell their nutrition product …he sells lectin schield 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
After a year of going lectin free, my cardiologist asked me what I did to improve my health. I told him a little about Dr Grundy, but he really didn’t want to hear it. He said, whatever you’re doing, keep doing it. I’m 70 and feel better than I have for decades.
That's great to hear! Thank you for being part of the Gundry MD famiy. 😃
How do you do it on a tight budget? I would like to improve my eating but I don't want to spend more. I don't have a problem giving up anything completely if it's for the best. Any thoughts or encouragement on this?
Thank you for reaching out! You can find budget-friendly lectin-free meals online at gundrymd.com/budget-lectin-free-recipes/. You can also find a full list of Gundry approved foods online at bit.ly/353B0iF. We hope this helps!
You're not alone. I was put on 7 drugs for lipids and b/sugar. 6 weeks later I went back for blood test and all were perfect. BP was of a mid 20yr old and i was 46 at the time. Dr says. Keep doing what you're doing. None of what I was doing was taking their masking drugs. It was selective diet and weights. Increased specific fats and removed all sugar and complex carbs. As a side effect lost 18kg (~40lbs)
Can't even do that anymore!
I've suffered from acne from adolescence into my 30s... as soon as I stopped eating gluten and food with lectins, my skin cleared up completely. I also lost lots of weight (fat).
Me too, & I’m 61 now. I still have problems. 🙁
Fruit is not the enemy in this country.. I'd be more worried about packaged desserts, cereals and 30 oz soft drinks. Lol
Totally agree, as long as you don’t overload yourself. 👌
so true, fruit is not as bad as the prepackaged carbage in our stores, but it is a total sugar/fructose nightmare for almost any adult over the age of 30- especially since we are foolishly told to eat some every day, which is basically no different than telling someone to be sure an eat a 1/2 cup of sugar along with your other foods, every day.
The funny part is he used in this video the rationale that fruit is meant to be eaten to store fat for winter as a late season crop. He even went on later to say fruit should only be eaten seaonally. The problem with this ridiculous reasoning is that thing we call the equator and the fact fruit is in abundance year around. Things like bananas etc. His own logic is flawed because this guy is a marketing snake oil salesman and it's sad some good information gets all mixed in with his BS.
A apple is pretty much as bad as a soda
@@ws1240 Wow, no it absolutely is not, and the fact you even believe that is worrying for society.
The reason I love Dr Gundry is sometimes he looks like he’s going to reach for a double Martini. And in a moment of beautiful redemption he gives a generous list of inflammatory poisonous foods that his counterparts would charge thousands of dollars for just a hint of these delectable poisons Bless you Dr Gundry!
Thank you for your kind words!
BAHAHA!!! double martini!
WHAT??!
@@user-kc7mu4jp4p I meant Gundry honestly gives the list of bad delectable foods NOT TO EAT! Dr Gundry is a good guy!🙃
I need to throw my entire refrigerator out of my 5th story condo.
yes, get a new one and fill it with the right food lol
Me too!! I really need to do this. My body’s never been this bad along with my health ! At 56 I’m at 250lbs and don’t exercise. I stopped smoking and only drink water now but it hasn’t made much difference:( now it’s time to change my eating habits BUT being on a low budget makes healthy choices hard :(
What I always liked about Dr Gundry's videos are (1) that I can hear them clearly, and he speaks clearly. They're well produced videos and I appreciate his unique POV on diet.
Thank you for sharing your positive feedback with us, Joseph! We appreciate all of your support. 🙏
I'm from India and I want to share this with everyone this diet list is a new life I'm suffering from gut problems but this is just awesome 🙏🙏🙏 thank you so much
Bro, how you find grass fed meat
Bro can you share your diet list.
Do not take advice from him, he has no idea what he is talking about
😂Everyone on you tube got the secret to lose weight and be healthy .I’ve seen people eat beans ,potatoes,rice ,tomatoes and fruit and live long healthy lives into there 90s.I’ve also seen people eat meats ,oils and everything under the sun and live into there 90s..What I do know is that they are active and they eat in moderation.What ever you do you only got some many years of life so enjoy them while you can✌️
You HEARD the voice inside of your mind instead of actually listening. The MAIN target of his work is REDUCTION OF INFLAMMATION, FIXING THE GUT HEALTH that results in longer heartier life. Being overweight means out of natural state. His goal is to bring back the natural state.
Those people probably had generations and generations worth of healthy genetics on their side. Great-great grandparents onward who ate healthy and had no access to processed foods and access to high-nutrient foods. This allowed their descendants the luxury of eating foods with such a high glycemic index and still being able to live a long time. But that protective layer usually only lasts only 1-2 generations and possibly their children and definitely their grandchildren will likely not be so lucky. Catherine Shanahan talks about this concept of genetic memory and diet in her book Deep Nutrition.
It’s so true... never looking back! I’m nearing 5 years on the PP regime. Never even bothered with phase 2. I’m happy with my diet, eat copious amount of pesto, tahini, Romano cheese, mushrooms, greens, purple sweet potatoes, pistachios, pecans, Mac nuts, eggs and clean meat and fish a few times a week. Goat milk ice cream and dark chocolate are my treats... and I only fart or have discomfort (or need much toilet paper 😂) when I occasionally cheat. And then, lectin shield almost always takes care of a slight stray. Thanks doctor Gundry! My fibromyalgia and hashimotos are no longer issues and I adore my non-craving non-crazed food life!! 🌟🙏🌟
Thank you for your support! 😃
What about fish?
Idk. Been a vegetarian for a long time. Lentils chick peas etc. been the staple if my diet forever. Feel good and have been in great shape all my life.
My mum has been following this for the last 5 months and has lost weight and feels the best she ever has. I'm going to give it a try and report back
How did this diet go it been a year ,I’m exited to know your results.
@@Music963 lost 3 stone and feel great 👍 thanks for asking
How’s it been going?
Interesting about what the doctor says about tomato skins having the most lectins. Traditional Mexican cooking, originating with the indigenous cultures, involves sautéing the skins off of tomatoes and peppers. Somehow they knew.
They are nightshades and poisonous to some extent
Yes ! My mother takes off the skins of tomatoes ! We are Mexican lol
agreed, and we have forgotten for someone else's profit....DOUBLE profit actually, the makers of crappy foods are heavily invested it the pharmaceutical company's selling you the medicine to get better from their crappy food!!!
*Wut about Tomato Sauce???*
This is totally bunk… a lot of these foods are very hard to digest… this is not based on real science… Also as an athlete… you cannot perform at a high level this way… high protein high carb and lots of veggies is the way to go
This was thhhhhhheeee most helpful and clear and concise info I've watched so far. My stomach has felt like a knife has been piercing it for over two weeks. Doctors have no clue what to do with me because blood tests and CTs come back normal. This isn't the first time it's happen. Now I'm finally doing my own research. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for your honest feedback! We truly appreciate your kind words and support.
I used to roll my eyes at a lectin-free diet, but lo and behold, almost all the foods high in lectins are the ones I don’t eat because they “upset my stomach.” Interesting. However, not all foods high in lectins bother me. The only grain i can eat is certain brands of oats and I only eat 1 serving a day. Nuts and flax are the same. Almonds and flax, and only certain brands due to their processing. Dairy doesn’t bother me as long as it’s got active probiotics and has no sugar and is cultured (yogurt, kefir). I’m picky about brands and do notice a difference. However, one caveat I would add is that many of the foods on the YES list are so high in FODMAPS, which can really be uncomfortable for people with IBS (this is me!). I think if you’re diligent and can be honest with yourself about what foods bother you and feel best you can make this work for you. For example, I know which fruits work for me (not all are lectin-free) and which ones don’t. All beans, nightshades, and a ton of veggies are no-gos for me. I actually am only able to eat leafy greens like spinach, kale, arugula, etc. because they’re the ones my system likes best. All low-FODMAP berries, seedless citrus fruits, and yes, pineapple work well. So I think it really comes down to the specific person, however, Dr. Gundry is onto something with the seeds, beans, and certain veggies. I appreciate you sharing this controversial information because it allows many of us to look at what we’re eating in a new way. I’ve been off “added” sugars for over 20 years and that radically changed my health along with eliminating red meat. Not easy, but truly worth it.
I followed this diet after reading his book. I loved it. My only “complaint” is that 40g of protein is simply not enough. I lost fat, but I know I lost a lot of muscle. I follow it now, but I make sure I get 75-100g. Seems to have done the trick.
Good job, you did exactly what your body needed. The diet works, but genetics (as well as your environment) plays a role. So learning what your specific body needs was the smartest approach.
Agreed. I don't follow Dr Gundry per say. But it's definitely not enough protein for most people.
Why no information re benefits of eating fat and moving body.
impossible to burn muscle without depleting all fat including your 50,000 calorie fat reserves
Dr Gundry started as a heart surgeon and his mind is still biased with very dated and biased data regarding consumption o red meat. Consider looking in to other diets for a complete understanding of nutrition.
The only doctor I trust is Dr.Gundry , he has such kindness to him like no other 😊
Thank you for those kind words, Nitya! 🙏
@@GundryMDYT por favor 🙏quiero subtitulos en español.
Giving up tomatoes is also just as hard as giving up dessert entirely for me..
You can eat tomatoes if deseed and peel.
You can give up tomatoes and replace them with organic tomato paste which has more concentration of lycopene.
@@SaintCharbelMiracleworker skin off and seeds
I’m Nigerian it’s literally in EVERY DISH…well almost every lol
I always thought Dr. Gundry was another guy who had a “diet”, until my holistic dentist told me to follow his diet. He was a researcher, and knows a lot about health!
it was fun to be a denits
Unfortunately dentists know even less about food and diet and nutrition than Dr. Gundry. All medical doctors get virtually no meaningful training in diet and nutrition and have quite a different agenda than your health. There is no money in healthy people. Doctors are getting rich managing disease with drugs and (usually unnecessary) surgery, etc.
What was the specific diet/ list?
Hello, sorry to bother you, but to be honest, we haven't met before. I found your profile here and I kind of like your sense of reasoning,I hope you don't mind me knowing you more??
Dr. Gundry: After 1 month following your list, (Thanks for the list!), I'd say it has been transformative. I'm feeling great, and digestion is smooth sailing (after years of discomfort and painful elimination.) I live in the tropics and we have fruits all year long. So for now, until I get more confirmation otherwise, I am going to discard your statement about avoiding ripened fruits unless in-season? (the papayas, pineapples, mangoes, bananas and other fruits come in multiple seasons during the year. IT seems so natural and wholesome to enjoy these fruits at their most delicious stage.)
Yes, I wondered about that for people in areas where fruit grows year-round. I love sour sop and other fruits that grow in other countries that are great for our health. How has eating the fruits worked for you since you are i a more tropical area I wondered if that would not adversely impact you or any one else for that matter.
Yeah, I’ve heard different things about eating green unripe, bananas… wouldn’t it make sense to eat them?
I love tropical fruit sour sop Jack fruit mangosteen lychee passion fruit my fave😊
Dr. Gundry,I'm still staying good on my weight loss. After that,I ended up losing a few more inches. Your video teachings are still helpful. As of May of this year(2022),I have been living in South Carolina. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for the feedback, Heidi! 🙏
When i heard nightshades are bad for you, i questioned my entire culture, based on these vegetables. I can't imagine any Hungarian food without any of those.
I guess all central and Southern europeans are just naturally unhealthy... (sarcasm)
In India, mostly vegetarian ppl thrive on grains, beans, legume, pulses along with vegetables and small amount of dairy. Spices n herbs they used balances out the lectin making them harmless. Only when you eat the beans, legume, nightshade vegetables only on their own, you will have this issue.
What, exactly are ALL the herbs and spices that neutralize lectins?
She means spices they use in the curry
@@johnq.public2621 Great question! That was a big claim. Shame didn't back it up with something. Compounds in certain foods do assist the consumption of others (like onions help us process the iron in eating liver, so they go together) so I was also curious to ask what spices supposedly counter lectins. Oh well.
Can you share the spices they use, please.
Dr Gundry - I just wanted to say thankyou for providing this video. It certainly has shed some new light, especially on nightshades that I never really took seriously. I have a lot of respect your work and while I don't entirely agree on all of it and the limits (which seem arbitrary to a point), I can clearly see that you overall, you have a solid diet recommendation for people that could only improve their life. I also respect that you are an MD that started to take this seriously. I have lost so much respect for MDs, that when I hear stories like yours, it reminds me that not all MDs are bad and ignorant. Thanks again!
Thanks for the awesome feedback!
Impressive. I have learned to follow my body whenever I eat something. If I feel weird in any way, more than once, after eating something, I avoid it, I know it's not good for me. It also applies to food that I detest. Funny enough, everything matches with all you have said. Also, I have intolerance to carrots. I always thought that was very weird. I can't stand any of the foods you have said to be "bad", except for pepper which I like to have in moderation from time to time.
I need a diet that is anti-inflammatory. Tomatoes and potatoes were once considered poisonous. Now I understand why.
They were once considered poisonous because the vegetation is poisonous. If I told you that some leaves of a plant made me deathly ill, you would not be keen on trying out other parts of the plant. That’s why people *used* to think they were poisonous. They both belong in the nightshade family which often have poisonous leaves/unripened fruit. Tomatoes and potatoes are perfectly safe to eat. Hell, some communities survived almost exclusively on potatoes.
I just made a list of all the anti-inflammatory foods and I pick from those and I do intermittent fasting seems to be helping
This is soooooooooooo accurate. I had the worst stomach problems hernia / ulcers and gastritis and all of these destroyed my stomach. Nightshades and grains
Great tutorial Dr. Thank you a lot. I am having issues with my guts for 3 years now.
You’re the best. Thanks for your incredible advice and knowledge on how to stay fit and healthy 💪
Thank you for your continued support!
Thank you for this! It's frustrating eating healthy and still having issues but this helped me realize that tomatoes really do hurt my stomach and now I know I am not crazy! Lol
Loved this video Dr. Gundry. Thank you for the good advice on good food nutrition! So happy to see a medical doctor actually talking about good food and nutrition! It's about time.
We are so happy to hear that you enjoy Dr. Gundry’s philosophy. If you have any questions about his products, please feel free to message us here!
I just started this food lifestyle change a week ago and already see and feel the difference. So far I've lost 6lbs and no longer crave carbs and other unhealthy foods that I'm around all day in the restaurant business. I feel great and look forward to more healthy weight loss in the coming weeks!
*I Thought that Beans WERE Legumes!!!! **2:22**.* *U StoPPed Watching, Right then & there!!!!*
WOW!! That is great!! Congratulations and I wish you much success.
Many of these foods are high fodmap. What if you can't tolerate high fodmap foods?
Congrats!!! 😀
The human body craves carbs because it needs carbs
You can’t get a Dr in the office to spend 5 extra minutes talking with you and this man is helpline us for free, thank you for all your info it’s life saving
This brightened up our day! 🙂 Thanks for your comment! We appreciate the support!
This list is very similar to the one in "Unlocking the keto code" book that I'm reading. Makes total sense, and he is not the first to warn us about grains, nightshades, etc.
Thank YOU 🙏🏻 Dr. You have been a light at the end of a tunnel 😍😍😍💗💗💗❣️❣️❣️
Thank you for your kind words! Take care and Happy Holidays!
Dr Gundry, thanks to all ur wonderful information i am promising myself to change my diet. You have motivated me and helped me realize how much i want to be healthy for myself and my children! Thank u so very much😀
Thank you for your kind words!
I have always felt that we have been misled by the food industry and doctors on what are healthy foods. Trying to convince my doctors that things weren’t adding up with my weight and the “healthy” foods I eat has always been a battle. I love getting accurate and reliable information from Dr. Gundry! I bought his book, The Plant Paradox and look forward to becoming better educated about food. I work in clinical research. Dr. Gundry, if you ever need subjects to demonstrate the benefits of your diet recommendations, I’d love to be a participant!
Thank you for your support Theresa!
When Dr Gundry said that the “whole grain goodness” advent of the late 60’s, corresponds with the rapid growth of celiac, Crohn’s disease, obesity, and other auto immune disorders, it was a major revelation to me. That’s when I started lectin free eating. Actually, I do the whole Gundry diet. It’s amazing.

Hi, hope you're doing great. i've been diagnosed with MS recently as well, and was wondering if you implemented some of Gundry's advice ? And how it affected you ? If you don't mind me asking.
Great list! Thank you very much!
You're welcome! We're happy you found this list helpful!
Just found this guy...been on keto for 2 months lost 30 lb This is excellent info and on the money...thanks
Thank you for the list Dr. Gundry. I really would like to start these dietary changes, but do not know where to start. You have simplified it!
You're welcome!! If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out. 🙏
Thanks for the excellent info Dr. Gundry. Would you please do an episode on mycotoxins and the common foods to avoid to control inflammation ? Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback! We will forward this along.
I've always eaten super healthy. Once I got some health problems i was surprised. When i eliminated dairy and bread, pasta, red meat, and added sugars i felt wayyyy better and rarely bloated. Can't wait to try your diet because honestly I'm starting to learn that sometimes you just need to do an elimination diet to see what is chronically causing problems. Thank you for this helpful list of foods to look out for. ❤️
Meat is actually good for you.
Thank you so very much indeed Dr. Gundry! You saving so many lives and the knowledge that you are sharing is going to save billions of lives !
Hi there! Thanks for the awesome feedback!
My anecdotal experience with lectins is mixed. If I peel potatoes and roast them I am fine, no reaction. Tomatoes and bell peppers a very different story, as well as grain based products and especially bran. I can eat white rice fine however. I eat a lot of vegetables, not in variety but in quantity. I think this is because of different types of lectins and individual tolerances. But definitely the active ones (for me) cause problems with the gut and bodily inflammation. Avoid them and I am so much better. I am not a one for black and white categorising for this reason. Thank you Dr Gundry.
Which active veggies give you inflammation ?
@@lizkel It's more grains than vegetables with lectins but may just be my oversensitivity. I have an oversensitivity to some oxalate high vegetables. (beetroot, silverbeet (chard), but most vegetables are fine. My most inflammatory responses are to high omega 6 oils. (seed oils) I use EVOO, which is as very good, as Dr Gundry says. Seed oils (trickily labelled as "vegetable oils" are used in a lot of commercial foods. Both high omega 6/3 inbalance and proddution nasties, I blame for a lot of senaky chronic inflammation. Any inflammation you should always first try avoiding or lowering these in commercial goods, hard but you'll notice it. My opinion anyway. Keep well.
I like this guy! I recently have changed my diet. And it’s a journey
Thank you for your support!
1. Introduction: You've heard that all diseases start in the gut. Foods we're taught are healthy can cause issues due to lectins, proteins in plants. 2. Vegetables: • Leafy greens, cabbage, mushrooms, onions are excellent. Avoid legumes, nightshades, and certain fruits as they are lectin-heavy. • Nightshades like peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes are particularly lectin-rich. 3. Grains: Most grains are lectin-rich, so avoid traditional cereals, rice, pasta, and bread. Millet and sorghum are healthier alternatives. 4. Nuts: Some nuts, like cashews, are lectin-rich, while real nuts like walnuts, macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts are beneficial. 5. Fruits: • Fruit contains sugars, especially fructose, which can contribute to weight gain. Berries and green bananas are better options, and avocado is particularly healthy. 6. Dairy: Casein A1 in dairy can cause digestive and immune issues. Choose dairy without Casein A1 like buffalo milk, goat's milk, or a2 products. 7. Meat: Grass-fed animal meat is preferable; avoid meat from animals fed with corn and soy. Check labels to ensure meat is "100% grass-fed." 8. Conclusions: Follow a balanced diet, preferring vegetables, and limiting meat intake. A complete list of recommended and to- be-avoided foods is available in the provided link.
Thank you
Pecans are also good!
Thank you. The only correction is that meats should be labeled, "grass-fed and finished"
Wonderful information, dr. Gundry. short and comprehensive
Thank you for your support! Happy Holidays Vicky!

I'm looking forward to seeing the difference this makes. I can tell the difference in the way my body feels when eating foods that are low in Lectins. I didn't know what Lectins were until I watched this video. Thank you for sharing.
We're thrilled you decided to give us a shot! Please keep us updated on your success! We'd love to hear about your experience.
This guy clearly isn't a dietitian. "Lectins are naturally occurring proteins that are found in most plants. Some foods that contain higher amounts of lectins include beans, peanuts, lentils, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, fruits, and wheat and other grains. Lectins serve a protective function for plants as they grow. They don't have any nutritional value when consumed in foods. Some research seems to indicate that taking in large quantities of raw lectins could have negative health effects. The amount you’d need to consume each day to get to that level, however, is much higher than a typical diet would include. And studies have shown that lectins break down when processed or cooked, so the risk of adverse health effects arising from lectin-rich foods that aren’t raw is not cause for concern. In addition, most foods that contain lectins are recommended as part of a healthy, well-balanced diet. There’s a well-established body of scientific evidence that clearly supports the benefits of a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. The health benefits you receive from including those foods in your diet outweigh any perceived benefits from avoiding foods with lectins. With that in mind, a diet that avoids lectins is not one most dietitians would typically recommend."
Good video! There's also plenty of videos on how to remove a majority of lectins from foods. For those who wish to consume certain grains, legumes, and nuts. Two sides to everything.
Thanks for your feedback, Josh! Here's a video we created to teach folks how to reduce lectins in their foods. We hope this is helpful! kzhead.info/sun/pdyBm5aXj5l_rYU/bejne.html

I'm trying to improve my diet. I've managed to eliminate all sugary and processed foods and am reducing carbs, although not trying to cut them out all together. I'd find it hard to cut out beans, as I enjoy them mixed with tuna, extra virgin olive oil and olives. Makes a simple but very satisfying meal. I love fruit, so it would be hard to reduce that. Never been keen on the green leaf veggies and cabbage etc. My last loaf of bread ran out around 12 days ago and I haven't replaced it. Eating some oatcakes instead. I have always loved all types of cheese and plan to up my consumption of goats/sheeps milk cheese and blue cheeses too. It is quite hard to find the right balance and there can be conflicting information at times. I share Dr Gundry's love of extra virgin olive oil, got a taste for it when living in Italy in the past. Like the idea of intermittent fasting too.

that part about the body storage fruit for the winter ,because the fruits were only available then , makes absolute sense to me , thanks doc .

I think brain fog should be called "grain fog."
I had Chrons disease and eczema and the lectin free diet did improve my symptoms a lot, but going carnivore eliminated them. I only eat grass fed and finished meat. When I do have a cheat meal I make sure its lectin free.
Thank youfor sharing your experience with us!! 🙌
Avocados are my #1 food. I put them in a paper bag with a couple of bananas. Set on counter top. Eat the one with the softest touch first. Toss the banana out after Avocados are ripe.
He visto los videos del doctor y casi lloro. Desde mis 15 años (tengo 39 años ahora) siempre he padecido del colon irritable, me ponían una intravenosa en la clínica para mejorar mis síntomas y siempre estaba con pastillas, una vez me recomendaron el té de tilo y vi como los síntomas mejoraron, desde que la tomo no necesito más pastilla, sin embargo no se ha ido el problema y he vivido sobrellevando esta enfermedad, donde me da mucha fatiga, siempre cansada, siempre sin energía, con mucha inflación al punto de dolor la espalda, nadie ningún doctor a llegado a la raíz del problema y a pesar que todo mundo sabe que en USA la medicina es un negocio, nadie se atrevía a decir la verdad, cuando vi al doctor mencionar la lectina quede asustada, porque me encanta el tomate, el arroz, la pasta. Muy agradecida de encontrarlo y ver si hago cambios significativos en mi vida !
¡Gracias por compartir tu experiencia! Si tiene alguna pregunta, ¡háganoslo saber!
I’ve read for years that nightshades were bad for folks with GI issues. I’ve dealt with chronic IBS-D for years and it worsened with removal of gallbladder. I love tomatoes like many here-but I recently left them off my salads and I do feel better. I react to eggplant like the Aliens movie. Potatoes are next to go. I can live w/o them for sure. Beans will be tough for sure.
Please can you tell me a brief description of what you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner? I have GI issues. Many thanks ❤️
then add peppers and chilis to that list

If one lays off the veg oils, grains, processed foods and sugars, I don't think meat need be limited.
I like the idea of looking for grass fed meat instead of grain fed meat !
don't eat meat !
Ok now my cupboards and fridge are Losing Weight too !! What about spices and seasonings ?? Please ?? Tumeric is a Big Favorite of mine !!

Plants foods that’s good for the guts: Dark leafy vegetables Cruciferous vegetables Leeks Onions Mushrooms Good grains: Millets Sorghum Good nuts: Walnuts Macadamia Brazil Pistachio Good fruits: Avocado Berries Green bananas Dairy? Coconut milk Milk that’s no Caesin A1 Meat? 100% Grass fed and finished Pasture raised
GRAINS OATS, TEFF AS WELL....NUTS ALMOND, CHESTNUT AND PECAN.....FRUIT PINNAPLE, DARK BERRIES AND PASSION FRUIT....BEST GREENS ARE KELP, SEAWEED AND KALE/SPINACH, SHARD...SEA VEGIES TO
Very good suggestion but very hard to do have to work hard
Thanks for the list
I have always preferred my bananas on the green side; I love the grassy freshness of them. When I discovered cardamom, my appreciation kicked up a notch. I haven't been eating bananas lately because of the sugars, but I used to eat yogurt topped with greenish bananas and sprinkled with cardamom, and it was heaven.
Ooh, this sounds spectacular. I too have always been a lover of the less-ripe banana, and am a big fan of cardamom. I have cardamom pods only atm, this is the prompt to get hold of powdered cardamom on my next trip to town.
I personally can't stand green bananas lol. I can't bear the texture and they make my tongue feel irritated, with a bland taste. I LOOOOVE some yellow, heavily spotted bananas though 🤤

Im vegan and still have about 15 to loose so I purchased the bio complete 3 weeks ago. So far i have dropped 8 lbs by using this and cutting out white flour and all sugar, except for agave syrup. Thanks!
I get my protein from plants!
That's great to hear. Please keep us updated on your success!

So informative, such a intelligent man .
Thanks for your kind words about Dr. Gundry, Ken! 😊
Thank you Doc for your channel ! 🙏🏼
Thanks for the feedback!
I tried going mostly plant based and I didn't have enough energy to complete my work out. It was hard as hell to get 7 cups of vegetables along with my fruits and legumes in a day,I was always full with no energy,there's a missing link somewhere. I now use eggs and mackerel for my protein source
With the same calories?
I had that issue too going plant based- was losing muscle and was always tired- did adding eggs and fish help?
eat potatoes
Look up a second opinion on dieting, look up Dr. Sten Eckberg on youtube and digest some his lectures on dieting. We simply don't break down plants efficiently enough because our bodies are more adapted to predation and meat than herbivation. We more have to eat the animals that Can process the nutrients in plants, than it is we eat the plants like those animals and reap the benefits we need for maintenence.
wonderful video sir I watch almost all of your videos, I really appreciate and like your sincerity and work, but I read on some websites that even walnuts have lectins can you confirm and reassure that it doesn't have any? thanks for all of your work
Thank you for your kind words! Walnuts are Gundry approved. 😃
He sounds like a joy to live with... :) will give it a try since keto is currently killing me
Many thanks for very useful information
Thank you for your feedback!
I've am thinking of changing my diet from Plant based (almost 2 years) to following your recommendations, I would like to know where soy milk stands on your list, I stopped drinking or consuming anything dairy for a long time, I'm ready to move to olive oil instead of margarine, making my own bread is something I've always done but will be looking at buying a bread maker and trying out millet and the other flours on your list. I love your podcasts and the experts you interview, your style is friendly, and your guest speakers have lived real lives and have seen the benefits of changing their lifestyles. I am 67 years old, I gave up taking 161 pills per week, almost 12 months ago, I meditate every day, give thanks for everything in my life from my beautiful children, grandchildren, great grand children, my body, bones, skin, hair, the air I breathe, my guardian angels, believe me, everything, and wish to live longer. I take care of 2 little boys that have come into my care, they are 3 yrs and 5 yrs old, belong to my sister's daughter, my own biological grandchildren are fine, these two are beautiful little boys that I love as my own, they keep me young. Giving up the medication recommended by my doctor 5 years ago, is the best thing I've done, they were for gout, high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, sciatica, it seemed like the doctors didn't really bother to check on my change in diet, I did regular 3 monthly visits to the labs to give blood etc, but they didn't bother to see if I'd improved or not. Your podcasts are the best thing I've heard in a long time, thank you Dr Gundry
Soy is on the no list
Interesting. Eating WFPBNO, including potatoes, rice, legumes and cashews made me lose loads of weight and feel awesome. By now I think everyone has to find their diet, there is no one for all… I can’t do keto for example, feel horrible with it.
Amazing info. Thank you xx
Hi , thanks for the great vedio , i just want to ask you one quick question which cooking oil to be used , presently iam using sunflower oil for cooking , thankyou doctor ...
This is very common sense in the approach. But it is great to have someone to lead the way in telling us how. Thanks 🙏 Dr. For giving a simple format to follow. I have so far dropped 35 Lbs and with some tweaking (per your guidelines) I anticipate further loss and great health. Thanks!!
Wow! That's amazing to hear! 💯 Keep up the good work! 💪
I’ve lost 7kg in 1.5 months and feel great eating wfpb with predominantly potatoes and lots of tomatoes, beans, bananas, oats etc. tonnes of lectins and I’m feeling excellent 🤷♀️
Thanks so much now I can start today with my Children's
Thank you so much!!
Lectins could be the missing link to our food intolerance puzzle. Thank you for this extensive list this will prove to be very useful.
Thanks for your kind words, Tina! We're happy you found this video useful 🙂
