Dr. McDougall is the founder and director of the nationally renowned McDougall Program: a ten-day residential program that he and Mary McDougall host at a luxury resort in Santa Rosa, CA where medical miracles occur through diet and lifestyle changes.
Full Participant (medical care, laboratory, etc.)
$5,460/person (double)
$6,060/person (single)
Humanity is doomed.
Breast cancer is a dominant fear for many women. Fortunately, it’s also largely a preventable disease with the right diet and a healthy lifestyle. Contrary to what most people hope for, early detection by mammography causes more harm than good. Radical surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are brutal remedies universally prescribed to women with breast cancer, yet they provide little survival benefit. Hormone manipulation is of some value, however the best and most overlooked approach for treating breast cancer is a change in diet and exercise.
Due to modern medical belief in early detection with PSA testing, diagnosis of prostate cancer has increased at least 10-fold in the past 2 decades. But many doctors will tell patients that testing does more harm than good because over 90% of men diagnosed will not die from this disease. Those few who have an aggressive form are usually far beyond the reach of current therapies at the time of diagnosis. Considering the terrible side effects of surgical intervention against the small likelihood of any benefit, the McDougall Program is almost always the best option for dealing with prostate cancer.
As someone who spends his days working with children with cancer, I can say, in my professional opinion this guy is a *kitten* idiot.0 -
The politest thing i can say is Scare mongerer. ...having watched friends and family die of cancer (one went natural remedies and still died) the guys a chuffing moron0

McDougall Program Diet Reviews:
Read Why This Is The WORST Diet Book Written In The History Of Mankind
https://www.enlita.com/blog/mcdougall-program-diet-review-criticism
Grade: F Dr. McDougall writes a book based on misinformation (hogwash) in a attempt to convert you to his vegan (no animal products) agenda.
In summary, the McDougall Program is basically false propaganda to convert people to veganism. I am not opposed to veganism but I am opposed to the misinformation that was presented by Dr. McDougall.0 -
McDougall's diet works because it a "restriction" diet. You only eat really bland food, and therefore don't want to eat as much since the food stinks. In general, most "restriction" diets fail in the long run because you'll eventually get sick of missing out on good tasting food.0

Never mind. New answer:
I looked at foods you can't eat. I could not stick to this for more than a month.

I like diets/ healthy eating programs I can stick to for life.
Take a look at the Mediterranean diet

OP i eat a fairly high carb vegan diet but i am not strict nor do i follow dr.mcdougall , i like my food to taste flavorful and interesting i also like lots of variety so i do not find his diet sustainable for me
however i do feel great eating high carb and like to look up "high carb vegan" recipes for dinner ideas
i also like to eat some junky vegan food moderately because it keeps me sane tho

Dr McDougall claims on his website that he has CURED many people with severe ulcerative colitis by having them cut dairy out of their diets. Sure dairy is a common trigger but THERE IS NO CURE FOR UC except removing the entire large intestine which only stops the GI part of the disease (it is an autoimmune disease so there are other non GI symptoms).
One huge false claim and I only looked at one disease0 -
I'd rather go on a meat-only diet.0

When someone claims veganism cures tons of incurable diseases, etc yes they have an agenda.0 -

Dr. Fuhrman's diet is a lot like this. I couldn't stick to it because, quite frankly, the food was nasty.0 -
I have read quite a bit about Dr. McDougall and while I'm not sure if I agree with everything, a good deal of it makes some sense to me. When i experimented with it and ate according to his recommended plan, I actually feel really good, probably because fatty or oily foods often upset my stomach. I encourages veggies, which is a good thing! So to the OP, if you feel better eating this way, and you find you are meeting your personal health/nutrition goals, I say go for it!0
-
It's like the reverse of some forms of keto. He claims that if you eat starches you won't get fat, even if you overeat by a lot. This is not credible.0
-
Wow some aggression here lol. I don't follow his 'way of eating' I didn't realize that was a thing. But I do love his soups!! He has a ton of different soups and they are all cheap and amazing. I hear them up with the keurig at work!0

OP, you should watch Forks Over Knives it's a documentary on Netflix it's very interesting.0

No, just no. This documentary (if it can even be called that) is laughable at best.0 -
The reverse of Keto, now there would be an interesting book idea.
I'm looking to get rich.
Everyone else is writing a book.0 -
wow how many of you have actually tried this way? You can still eat good and be satisfied with your food choices and they are very flavorful. I feel better eating this way than I have ever felt. My body pain and plantar fictitious is gone. You can eat starches without all the fat that normally people add to them. I was actually looking for people that "like" this way of eating.0
-
Anyone who claims they cure diseases that have no cure like u.c deserves the ridicule they get.0
-
Holy crap. This guy is new to me. Lol. He might be he quack of all quacks. Stay far, far away, OP.0
-
Quack, Quack. Why not just eat food you like, that fills you up, within your calorie range? Keep it simple. I have too many people telling me what I should do, I don't need someone telling what to eat.0

everyone's a doctor.0

I'm vegan and know that many vegans bow down and kiss his feet...but he's seriously nuts. There's really nothing special about his dietary plan beyond the fact that it is incredibly restrictive, and puts you at a very low calorie level each day.
However...his line of soups are great to keep in my desk drawer at work on the days I don't have a lunch. They're actually pretty tasty...but really the only reason I get his brand as opposed to any other is because I have a lot of food allergies and I know that these are "safe" for me, and have a long shelf life.0 -
I kinda eat that way anyway, after a scary cholesterol result, and I feel the best I ever have, quite frankly, but didn't know it was a "program" and the sale of branded products turns me off as much as Atkins, weight watchers and all the others out there selling you stuff instead of teaching people how to eat real food. It has similarities with Ornish/Esselstyn. I don't get the hostility. Eat more green stuff, more fruit, more whole grains, less meat and cut out the crap. Seems pretty sensible to me.0
