I just want to give a big thank you to Dr. McDougall! After many years of struggling with weight issues and trying everything to lose weight, I was never successful. Even surgery didn’t help—I had two surgeries, both of which led to intestinal obstructions and eventually had to be reversed. You name it, I tried it. Four years ago, I heard about this way of eating and decided to give it a try. I can’t tell you how happy I am! I’ve lost more than 120 pounds, now weighing 144 pounds, and I’m still slowly losing. I am 5 ft 7. The McDougall Program has changed my life. I am an RN and truly thought I understood nutrition but I never knew what to think about the confusing information that was out there. I took a two-year nutrition course many years ago and it didn’t come close to the common sense approach of Dr. McDougall. Please thank him and the McDougall Team from the bottom of my heart. I am healthy, 65, and feel so good. Again, thank you. I feel so blessed to have found the McDougall Program.
