> I put on weight in the US no matter what I eat if I eat until I'm full. I’d put money on this not being the case with McDougall, if you follow it strictly. I’ve known several dozens of people personally who have switched, and he has a few published papers on many hundreds of patients. You eat as much as you want. It’s quite hard to keep the pounds on until you hit some natural base weight. (I had to add some fats back into the diet after a while because I otherwise look too thin.) It should be noted, if you’re on insulin, you need to see a doctor when starting the diet, because you’re likely to need to reduce or eliminate your insulin pretty quickly. Same is true for blood thinners, blood pressure meds, and a number of other drugs. If you’re on a lot of meds, it’s probably worth going through his 12 day program. I’m unaffiliated— just have personally seen the reversal of supposedly genetic disease and am a fan.
