OMG I've just gone on his TikTok - why did I do that he makes me want to scream - he is so arrogant!!
Unlike most people on here I haven't been on the 80:20 lifestyle plan, I'm not looking to lose weight I'm just interested in health and fitness and his tiktoks came up on my FYP - when I'd watched a few and looked in to him - I was hopeful that not too many people were taking his advice and found this thread and fortunately lots of other people that agree. I follow a plant based diet so any Tiktoks he does on veganism really grinds my gears, because as usual he can't accept that he isn't an expert on this type of diet/ lifestyle and wants to put it down.
Someone has taken him to task on it on his tiktok - well done valerie Gillingham whoever you are! She comes back to say that she would rather listen to Dr Michael Greger's point of view on Diabetes and a plant based diet - he is a leading doctor on the subject and has written very well respected books on the subject which reference scientific evidence for everything he writes about. DW then does another Tiktok - clearly not having any idea about who Dr Greger is and tells her that she shouldn't just listen to one person (she didn't say that) - apparently its lovely that she 'likes this person' but he likes lots of people that don't know what they are talking about too
(patronising
duck@r!) . Also - apparently DW has been studying this most of his life too so he also knows what he is talking about and finally doctors don't know that much about nutrition!!
Dan if you are reading this, (I have a sneaky suspicion that you do) to put yourself on a par with Dr Greger is beyond obnoxious.
The fact that you don't even know who he is says everything tbh, but also you haven't studied anything?? you have no qualifications!!- he on the other hand:
Michael Greger, M.D. FACLM is a physician, New York Times bestselling author, and internationally recognized professional speaker on a number of important public health issues. Dr. Greger has lectured at the Conference on World Affairs, the National Institutes of Health, and the International Bird Flu Summit, among
countless other symposia and institutions; testified before Congress; has appeared on shows such as The Colbert Report and The Dr. Oz Show; and was invited as an expert witness in defense of Oprah Winfrey at the infamous "meat defamation" trial. In 2017, he was honored with the ACLM Lifestyle Medicine Trailblazer Award.
He has written several scientific publications - please link me to some of yours?
He also has qualifications in nutrition:
Dr. Greger is also licensed as a general practitioner specializing in clinical nutrition and is a founding member and Fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. He was featured on the Healthy Living Channel promoting his
latest nutrition DVDs and honored to teach part of Dr. T. Colin Campbell's esteemed nutrition course at Cornell University. Dr. Greger's nutrition work can be found at
NutritionFacts.org, which is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit charity.
Dr. Greger is a graduate of the Cornell University School of Agriculture and the Tufts University School of Medicine.
Dr. Greger is proud to be a Council of Directors member of the global voice for lifestyle as medicine, the
True Health Initiative (THI). This is a growing coalition of more than 360 world experts representing 35 countries. It is an unprecedented assembly that includes physicians, university Deans, former Surgeon Generals, Olympic athletes, chefs, environmental professionals and a diverse group of nutritionists. Together they offer clarity over confusion and support the foundational principles of healthy eating and healthy living.
Oh and he is also a well known philanthropist, his donations run in to the millions:
All speaking fees and proceeds Dr. Greger receives from the sale of his books and DVDs are donated to charity.
Dan you running a weightloss programme that, in my opionion, is scammy at best it doesn't even compare.
Please don't say that you have 'studied for 12 years' you haven't studied anywhere and maybe if you weren't so condescending to people like you are to that woman bringing Dr Greger up then perhaps people wouldn't dislike you so much! Oh and if you do know so much about Plant based diets and have 'studied' it - why do you not know who Dr Greger is - his book is the leading scientific backed book on the subject and he is quoted in practically everything I have read on veganism.
Sorry for the long post - had to put it somewhere (and not saying plant based is the only diet worth doing!)- I just want to point out that DW knows nothing about it and to give someone advice on diabetes is ridiculous. Stay in your lane Dan - you run a diet club, you are not a doctor.
asked for help on the lives got the same response, eat more protein, done and still binged. Write down your stresses, done (3 times) and still binged. Do the mindset tasks, repeated several times and still binged. Wheeler says you dont binge if you’re full, not true. I will feel physically sick and still binge, it’s in my head not my stomach.
