Dr. McDougall discusses his book The Starch Solution: Eat the Foods You Love, Regain Your Health, and his legacy as a prominent voice for plant-exclusive eating since the late 1907s. The basic McDougall diet is made of starches, vegetables, and fruits – no animal products of any kind and no added oils. His February 2009 newsletter article, “The Starch Solution,” explains the importance of centering diet around common starches, such as rice, corn, beans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. The “Hot Topics” on Dr. McDougall’s home page are the best way to find articles that are important to you.

Here are some resources, compliments of Dr. McDougall:

“You will find clear directions on the diet in my color picture book (66 simple pages): https://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2014nl/jun/foodpoison.pdf. Scientific results are published: http://www.nutritionj.com/content/13/1/99.

“In order to keep in touch, please sign up for the free McDougall Newsletter (includes star mcdougallers) at: http://www.drmcdougall.com/health/education/newsletter/

Just to remind you:  The basic McDougall diet is made of starches, vegetables, and fruits – no animal products of any kind and no added oils. My February 2009 newsletter article, “The Starch Solution,” will explain to you about why you center your diet around common starches, such as rice, corn, beans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. http://drmcdougall.com/misc/2009nl/feb/starch.htm. You will also find a free lecture on my website about why your diet must be based on starches (rice, potatoes, etc.) – see: https://www.drmcdougall.com/health/education/videos/free-electures/the-starch-solution/

There are recipes at the end of each newsletter, and a “free program” on the McDougall web site (www.drmcdougall.com). My “Hot Topics” on my home page is the best way to find articles that are important to you. The “Search” feature is also powerful – use it. The discussion board offers almost instant help from followers of the program. You will benefit greatly from taking two minutes out of your day to watch McDougall’s Moments videos.

You can find a short video of my 10-day, live-in program on my homepage (https://www.drmcdougall.com/health/programs/10-day-program/)

I suggest you purchase the DVDs (McDougall Made Easy and Irresistible are best for those beginning), the Starch Solution book and the Quick and Easy Cookbook.  You can now download the DVD lectures individually from the store. Classic McDougall books are also available for download from our store. Visit the store at: http://www.drmcdougall.com/books_tapes.html. The McDougall Cookbook App (875 recipes) is available for purchase. I also offer a certification course and two classes with continuing education credits over the Internet. I offer 3-day and 10-day programs and adventure vacation trips.

Our scientific results are published in two recent papers:
Nutrition Journal: http://nutritionj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1475-2891-13-99

Blast from the past! One of Dr. McDougall’s many success stories is 4-decade cancer survivor and marathoner/triathlete, Dr. Ruth Heinrich. Still a healthy athlete and kicking serious butt at 81, she’s featured on the Main Street Vegan podcast on this episode: http://www.unity.fm/episode/MainStreetVegan_051116
