AUGUST 2020 Maintenance Thread
Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2020 8:13 pm
Welcome to the McDougall Maintenance support group! Let’s join together for support and camaraderie while we strive to maintain our successes.
Many of us have lost weight and/or reached other health goals. We’re ready for that next chapter, maintaining the gains we’ve accomplished.
This group will have Friday check ins, where everyone can touch base. Weigh-ins are optional, and will not be tracked. Please feel free to share your non-scale victories (NSV) as well.
In order to foster group participation, we do ask that only participants post, so please do join! You can join at any time simply by hitting the “post reply” button and saying something along the lines of “I’d like to join.” As they say, the more, the merrier.
Hello everyone!
I finally made it through The Clear Skin Diet, and I’d highly recommend it. It’s definitely geared towards high school and college students, but what is great about this book is how straight-forward and unflinching the authors Nina and Randa are about what it takes to be successful. They say that if you aren’t getting the results, then it’s lack of application. They aren’t mean about it, just honest and factual. The book is a quick read and has some interesting quick recipes in the back (I haven’t tried any yet).
Throughout the book are little wisdom nuggets from well-known plant-based doctors, including Dr. McDougall and Jeff Novick. The book is definitely completely in line with Dr. McDougall’s recommendations, and it is nice to read a WFPB book that aligns entirely with his guidelines. Their advice is whole food, plant-based, focused around starches, and avoiding all high-fat plant foods such as avocado, nuts, seeds, olives and coconut.
I’ve been following the recommendations for over a week now and have noticed a major improvement in my complexion (I had developed some mild acne this spring, affectionately nicknamed “pandemic pimples,” which are now gone). The book is definitely aimed at a younger demographic, but the ease of reading and message makes it good for anyone who wants another pro-plants book on their bookshelf.
First check-in this month is Friday, August 7, 2020.
Stay safe, wash hands and eat starch,
Lindsey
