Dr. McDougall's Online Discussion Board

Hi all
This is just a thing I've been curious about. The stories are wonderful and so inspiring, but I've never been clear on whether these people have achieved their health gains with the "regular" SS program, or whether they are probably doing no added fat, no flour products, etc.

I'm pretty much assuming the MWL plan, because that is obviously the most effective route.

Anyway, thanks!

Hi!

My thought is if you follow the MWL program well, you will achieve success in your weight loss goals.
If you follow the regular program well, most people will reach their weight loss goals and most people will reach their health goals.
There are so many success stories from both versions of the program.

If you are hesitant to go all the way to MWL, I suggest start with the regular program and see where it takes you. Then you can decide if you need to refine things any further.

Hi amandamichele

Thank you for replying to my post!

I agree with you. It has always frustrated me just a bit on this forum and elsewhere,like in the FB groups, when people talk about their experiences with the McDougall program, they have a tendency NOT to specify which of the "branches" they are following--and they ARE quite different!
