Mike's Story -
After YEARS of struggling with
obesity, years of bouncing between 200 and over 300
pounds, and years of feeling terrible, I FINALLY put
being overweight behind me… WAY behind me!! Being overweight (OBESE!) is painful,
embarrassing, and a terrible harbinger of ill health and
an early death. Although I won't charge you for what I received for free from my hero,
Dr. John
McDougall, there are
speaking engagements and seminars available for a modest
fee. You can find more information about those
here. For most of you, EVERYTHING you need to know is right here on
this web site. There is no need to buy powders, pills,
meals in a box or expensive subscriptions to ‘diet
clubs’.
Before we begin, I’d like to STRONGLY advise you
to check with your doctor before beginning this, or any,
diet. (BTW: this is NOT a diet! It is a whole new way
of living!) I have been
certified (Cornell University)
in plant-based nutrition, but I am not a doctor. There
is no way for me to know your unique medical history or
how this approach will affect you. So, PLEASE check
with your doctor first! You’ll be glad you did,
especially if you have blood tests done as you should
see dramatic improvements! I’d like to begin by sharing
my personal story. In October 2009, I was honored by
Dr.
McDougall as a “Star McDougaller”. Here is the story as
I told it back then -

Pam's
Story -
Back in 1995, I was suddenly struck
with pain all over my body after two tragic events:
losing my son and, a year later, a car accident
resulting in bulging discs in my back. I became
depressed because the doctors could not figure out what
was wrong.
After two years, I was diagnosed with
Fibromyalgia, affecting the central nervous system and
causing widespread traveling pain throughout my body! My
medication, along with depression, was lead me down the
path of obesity; this intensified the pain. Chronic
fatigue accompanied many symptoms. One day I suddenly
got a pinched nerve in my lower back, and that was
excruciating! I couldn’t even sit up for 5 minutes!
Walking was minimal when I suddenly realized I had to
lose weight to help myself. I ran into Mike on my way
home from taking care of my ailing mother and said “I
have to lose weight” to him. This is the beginning of my
road back to health and a lot less pain. 7 months later
I had lost nearly 70 pounds and was walking a couple of
miles every day!
If you seriously follow our
website’s instructions, and maybe visit with
drmcdougall.com, you’ll feel so much better about
yourself, maybe even full of life again! I am off half
of my meds, including blood pressure drugs. It’s a great
feeling to be thin again, and still be able to eat to
capacity! |

This instructional material
offers you a real opportunity for rediscovering
your health and appearance. However, diet is
powerful medicine. Do not change your diet or
start an intense exercise program if you are
seriously ill or on medication unless you are
under the care of a physician knowledgeable in
nutrition and its effects on health. Do not
change medications without professional advice.
When appropriate, share this message with your
doctor.
The McDougall Program uses a
pure-vegetarian diet based around starchy
vegetables with the addition of fresh or frozen
fruits and vegetables. If you follow the diet
strictly for more than three years, or if you
are pregnant or nursing, then take a minimum of
5 micrograms (mcg) of supplemental vitamin B12
each day. |
