McDougall Program

Dr. John McDougall

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. John McDougall, bestselling author and creator of the nationally renowned diet and exercise clinic in Santa Rosa, California, introduces his remarkable twelve-day plan.

Building on the idea that the traditional meat-rich American diet is hazardous to our health, Dr. McDougall has developed a medically sound, low-fat, starch-based diet that not only facilitates weight loss but also reverses serious illness, without drugs, and provides a broad range of dramatic and lasting health benefits. Step-by-step, he takes you through his revolutionary new program, providing:

   • More than 130 easy-to-prepare recipes
   • Delicious day-by-day menus
   • Suggestions for healthful dining out

Also included a comprehensive listing of health problems from arthritis to ulcer disease, comparing the traditional, often drastic medical approach and The McDougall Program's nutritionally based alternative.
