Hi everyone,
I have been vegetarian for over 20 years. I wish someone had given me The McDougall Plan back then. Recently, I have been fed up with fatigue, IBS, dry itchy skin, and the inability to loose some weight. Ironically, someone recommended The Quick & Easy Cookbook the same week I watched Forks Over Knives. So off to bookstore I went. Luckily for me, The McDougall plan was there too because I really wasn't sure where to start. So I am on day 8 of the plan and I'm hooked. I have so far lost 5 pounds (I'm 135 as of today), I haven't had any issues with my stomach and have had so much more energy without the need for caffeine. The best part is being able to eat until I'm full without counting calories. Thank you so much!

Welcome aboard, OM! I am glad you found us and that you are doing well. I read Dr. McDougall's book about 25 years ago but I wasn't smart enough to follow the directions. So I think you are a faster learner than many!

Please keep us posted on your journey!
