Learn the fundamentals of the McDougall Program for Maximum Weight Loss. We’ve designed a mini-course to help you easily learn the most important aspects of how to lose weight in a safe, sustainable and healthy way.
This can be a temporary diet to reach your goal weight, as well as a lifestyle to keep the weight off for good.
This mini-course is ideal for those who are new to the McDougall Program, as well as those who want new encouragement and a refresher on the principles of the Maximum Weight Loss program. For longterm success once reaching a goal weight, many McDougallers follow the principles of the Maximum Weight Loss program during the week and follow the regular McDougall program on weekends (allowing for more calorie-dense foods like bread products, nuts, etc).
Heather McDougall, CEO of the McDougall Program, shares her tips on successful meal planning for busy people and how to avoid over-complicating it. Heather answers your specific questions posed within this self-paced mini-course and shares valuable practical tips and advice.

“I’m really grateful for your books, videos, and this program. I started reading Starch Solution and MWL last year and dabbled with the concepts but finally jumped on board fully compliant in January. I am clear, committed, and now know how to keep it simple. I feel great, and know I’m on my way. Thank you again!”

“Even though I’ve been plant-based for 10 years, I couldn’t lose the extra weight I gained after having a baby until I learned these principles. I’m down 10 pounds with another 10 to go, and I’ve helped my friend lose 30! I’ll be forever grateful to the McDougall team for making this so clear, safe and easy.”
