    I had never heard of this diet until you posted. It's more limiting than I prefer myself, but seems more sound than a lot of other approaches I've seen lately.

    But as a note, often not many people read or comment on introductory posts. If you are looking for friends that eat this way, you might get a lot more interest posting in another section, most likely being the "Food and Nutrition" section.

    Best of luck in reaching your goals.

    Dr. McDougall is well known for his starch solution diet, he's a vegan and has promoted this diet for a long time. He died last year at 77. Personally I don't advocate for a vegan or vegetarian diet but if your beliefs run in that direction I suggest if your not aware of the shortfalls nutritionally, that you educate yourself, contact your PCP or talk to a dietitian, just to be on the safe side. Good luck and I hope it works out well for you.
