Six years and four months on the McDougall diet
!
The conditions it originally cured - GERD, IBS and high LDL cholesterol - have never come back. Other health problems, including major depression, are gone.
I have never, to my knowledge, eaten any off-plan food since I started this way of eating. I don't even want to.
I am not a saint, a role model for self-restraint, or an ascetic. I am, on the contrary, a hedonist who loves living a full life and having maximum fun. If I can do this successfully, anyone can!
Because fun is more fun when you give your body and brain the food it naturally craves -starch! And plenty of it!!I eat delicious food, (lots and lots of potatoes), and haven't gained unwanted weight. At 72, I feel more energetic and joyful than ever.
Starch rules!!!!!
