I've been trying to increase my fiber slowly so as not to cause any stomach upset and I'm still on the fence about whether or not McDougall is the way to go. The reason I'm on the forum today is because a video interview with Dr. McDougall came up on my youtube suggestions yesterday and it was disturbing. I was unsure before, but after seeing this video I'm wondering if decades without fat can be deleterious to one's mental health. (I'm sorry if that sounded cruel or harsh, but if you saw the video you will understand.)

Do what you can and reap some benefits then capitalize on those benefits to motivate yourself to go further. I'm an all or nothing type of person so I had to jump in 100%, but I can understand why it is hard for a lot of people to do that. Find what works for you.

Rest assured, if you start this diet now, you will be a LOT happier with your health, and beauty, when you are older. There are things this diet can reverse, and things that it cannot. Eat right now, and you will never have to regret your bad habits when you are (perhaps only a little) older.
