Happy 2020 to everyone! With the New Year just around the corner and the Christmas feasting behind us I am feeling very blessed to have found Dr. McDougall. For this week I have gained back a pound and it’s never nice to see the scale go up. What I do find interesting is I went back and reviewed my weight from the past 2 years and the long term trend is still down for me. Overall my weight is down 6 pounds from 2 years ago. This just reinforces to me how starch based eating works, and works very very well. In the 5 years since adopting this way of eating, I lost 32 pounds. That number doesn’t sound huge, but the loss is 23% of my body weight.
All around me many people I know continue to struggle with excess weight, trying to lose it for a bit and then gaining it back. I was the exact same way for many years until I listened to Dr. McDougall. I hope next year I can influence at least a few people to eat a bit healthier. I will continue tryIng to lead by example and share information when I can.
One of the best parts of this WOE is I can eat very simply just a baked potatoe and some corn or a bowl of oatmeal and fruit is a meal for me. Or when I feel like cooking I prepare delish food like lasagne, veggie burgers, sweet potato fries, and burritos. The list is endless. I never feel deprived and enjoy my food everyday.
Using this forum to connect with like minded people helps me stay focused every day. Thank you Lindsey for keeping this post going and for everyone that takes the time to contribute. Thanks to Jeff Novick for posting new information and constantly reinforcing how this really does work and how easy it can be. And mostly especially thank you to Dr. John McDougall for providing this site and information all for free, and for never giving up on spreading the word on eating starch and plants. It’s impossible to say how many people you have helped, but I am very thankful to be one of them.
