Lose a Half Pound a Day by Correcting Your Setpoint
Results of the 10-day Live-in McDougall Program

We have collected data on 280 people during the past 2½ years (since moving to our new location in Santa Rosa, California) and the results show that overweight and obesity are cured most effectively with major changes in the composition of the diet – no gimmicks and no hunger – with unlimited quantities of delicious foods.
