A Few Questions Adout This Diet

[catmatt]

I was just introduced to Dr. McDougall's diet about 3-4 days ago. What I know about the diet is so limited, I have a few questions

What is the best book or DVD to get started with?

Is this a vegan diet?

Is bread or grains allowed?

Thanks in advance, Cathy <><
