Maybe Im stupid and dont understand

Postby Branson » Thu Aug 10, 2017 1:56 pm

But is that McDougall cooking app something I can put on my tablet and have the whole shebang when I want it, or do I have to be live on a wifi to use it?

Is there ONE plant based cookbook you can suggest that has the most Maximum Weightloss type of recipes? Nixon, McDougall Essy etc

Thanks folks
Branson

Thanks Jeff

But I am wanting to buy the paperback Maximum Weightloss on amazon and I need 11.82 in another purchase for the magic 25 buck free shipping. I want the shiny new paperbook!

I gotta use internet at the library. I dont have it at home. That's why I was asking about that McDougall app.

If you really needed a physical copy, you can get it used for around $9, shipping included:

I hope that helps you or anyone else who might also be looking for a physical copy :) Please have a great day.

If you really wanted to go with the Amazon, $25 checkout route, Ramses Bravo, the head chef at TrueNorth, a program that works closely with Dr. McDougall, seems to have a recipe book for a little over $12:
https://www.amazon.com/Bravo-Health-Pro ... mses+bravo

Potentially even better, although they may not have a specific focus on recipes, are all the other McDougall books:
https://www.amazon.com/John%20A.%20McDo ... 1502397389

McDougall's newest, "The Healthiest Diet on the Planet," can be found here:
https://www.amazon.com/Healthiest-Diet- ... the+planet

By following Jeff Novick's principles, or the principles that McDougall shares in the Maximum Weight Loss Newsletter, I would think most recipes, in any cookbook, can be adapted to be made MWL-compatible.

Novick's forum, where the stickied posts at the top help to outline Jeff's recommendations for optimal health:
viewforum.php?f=22

McDougall Maximum Weight Loss Principles:
https://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2005nl ... ushing.htm
viewtopic.php?p=265094&sid=673e98c52d05994ab4d4806f3ce5d0eb#p265094

Or just get creative with the recipes and guidelines that Jeff kindly shares in this handout:
https://web.archive.org/web/20170810204 ... t_3-13.pdf

Printing that handout out at the library, or saving it to a USB drive and printing it out at home, would likely be far less expensive than buying a physical book, but please do feel free to support Dr. McDougall (and Jeff Novick) by buying their commercial material.

Jeff has some amazing DVDs that come with .pdfs of the recipes he includes, as well, which seems to constitute his commercial offerings at this point.

Jeff also has an Amazon page of recommended products, including his own, which might help round out your Amazon cart:
http://astore.amazon.com/jeff_novick_re ... roducts-20

(However, McDougall and Novick are kind enough to provide all of their information to us for free, so while I fully support helping to financially contribute to their work whenever we can, we certainly don't need to in order to fully understand and implement their recommendations. Their incredible generosity in this regard is something I have rarely seen in any other professional, in the health realm or otherwise, especially when we consider the quality of the free resources they provide.)

I hope that helps. Thanks to Dr. McDougall and Jeff for all that you do :)

You do need to be connected to access the recipes.

Why not get the MWLP book Kindle version and use the Kindle app to read it? This way you know every recipe is MWLP-safe and you can access it anywhere, without being connected to the Internet.

If you insist on another paper cookbook, IDK if any out there have only MWLP-safe recipes. Bravo! by Chef Ramses Bravo of True North has recipes that aren't MWLP-safe and include things like juices. All the Happy Herbivore books are a mix of regular and MWLP. Chef AJ's original cookbook, Unprocessed, has nuts and dried fruit in the dessert recipes, and even Dr. Goldhamer's own cookbook, The Health Promoting Cookbook, has nuts in it. Heck, even the MWLP book itself has one or 2 non-compliant recipes, because couscous, a pasta, was accidentally included as an allowed starch.

The closest you can get is any of the other McDougall cookbooks. His very old books, The Health Supporting Cookbooks, Vol 1 and Vol 2, and the McDougall Health Enhancing Recipe Book, would have the most MWLP recipes, but neither are Amazon Prime, just at great prices used (plus shipping). If you want, you can get those 2 Health Supporting Cookbooks in PDF format to put on your tablet for $8 each right here at Dr. McDougall's store.

But as others have said, you can modify many recipes in non-MWLP cookbooks to be MWLP compliant by omitting and substituting ingredients.
