Do not take this information as personal medical advice. Do not change your diet if you are ill or on medication without the advice of a qualified health care provider (your physician, for example). More detailed information is found in The McDougall Program - 12 Days to Dynamic Health (Plume 1990) in your bookstore.
 
   
  People are intended to look trim and be agile. The high-fat, high-sugar – and as expected, high calorie – Western diet spoils our remarkable creation. But all is not lost for those properly-informed. The life-long solution to obesity and poor health is to discover, and then follow, the diet that is intended for people – there must be one for us, just like there is a proper diet for your dog and cat and all other animals. Look around the world and you will be struck by the undeniable observation that populations of people who follow diets consisting mostly of starches – Asians eating rice, Mexicans subsisting mostly on corn and beans, Peruvians thriving on potatoes – are trim, youthful in appearance, and active throughout life. You can have the same great life without ever being hungry. Add a little exercise to the McDougall Program diet (based on delicious low-fat, high-carbohydrate meals) and you can expect about half a pound (.23 Kg) of weight loss daily (if you are presently overweight). By no coincidence, this same proper "human diet" allows you to recover from serious diseases caused by overnutrition (type-2 diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, intestinal disorders, etc.) and prevent future troubles.
