Now that you know what a whole food, plant based, no oil, lifestyle is let's get started by learning more about why this has worked through the ages and some practical steps to move forward.
Start by taking 30 minutes and reading Dr. McDougall’s Color Picture Book: “Food Poisoning: How to Cure It by Eating Beans, Corn, Pasta, Potatoes, Rice, etc.” or skip and go straight to the below lectures. BTW the first video in The McDougall Program Quick-Start Lectures (below) covers this book in detail.
Dr. McDougall made this book so clear and easy to understand that he stated, "After viewing this book, my 3 grandsons (ages 5, 7 & 10) easily understood why people are fat and sick, and how they become well by eating the “green light” foods and avoiding the “red light” ones."
It might take 30 minutes to read through but when you're done you won't have any doubt about what constitutes a Whole Food, Plant-based, No Oil Diet and why you should switch to this way of eating.
Dr. McDougall's web site has everything you need to smoothly transition to a whole food, plant based, no oil way of eating. Articles and videos that cover Health and Science, Recipes, Success stories, and The Free McDougall Program which outlines everything you'll need to change to a whole food plant based way of eating and much more. Take charge of your health today. :)
