The only data Dr. McDougall publishes is the numbers from the 10 day program where the records are scrupulously kept. Along with the data on weight are the data regarding blood work and the addition/removal of prescription medicine.
He might mention the weight loss in this thread in passing as it's all still part of the McDougall plan but nothing beyond that. It's just not anything more than interesting information.

It's a good question and all the points you made are correct. One of the problems with data that has been published by others that is based on member websites (private or public) where people are anonymous, they come and go, and their survey answers on adherence, diet, etc are often anecdotal and not being directly measured

As Jim said,

This is part of the confusion we see constatntly on the forums. The MWL weigh in group should really be for those following MWL. Of course, all are welcome to contribute but the weigh in group numbers in the MWL forum should be for those following MWL.


... which I think is reflected in the welcome message.
