 Good and Interesting December 10, 2008

I have enjoyed cooking health items for my family from this book. Some are a stretch for our normal habits, but I think that's good. Forces us to be good about the intake of our food.
Just what I was looking for November 30, 2008

Having just recently started a low fat, low sodium, plant based diet this is just what I have been looking for. Being a meat and potatoes all my life I had no clue as to where to go as far as recipes.
Yummy! November 22, 2008
Easy recipes, nothing complicated. Most of the ingredients are ordinary things that most people already have in their kitchen, and anything a little out of the ordinary is easy to find at the supermarket.
The recipes are very low-fat, but full of flavour. The desserts are not overly sweet, just enough to satisfy that little craving.
Great recipe book November 2, 2008

The McDougalls... what can I say? I started this program over a month ago and my Cholesterol went from 237 down to 170. These recipes are awesome!!! I don't feel like I'm following a diet when I find recipes like this that I can use.
McDougall changes lives September 25, 2008
I was amazed that the professional reviewers of this book had such a "bah-humbug" attitude about them! The program is hardly "draconian" as one reviewer put it -- you eat all you want of healthy, good tasting, real food. My mother discovered McDougall ages ago, before any of these glossier books came out -- and at 83, she still takes no medications and at her last check-up, the nurse commented that her "heart was like a teenager's!" The hardest part of staying on McDougall is that you have a whole culture working against it -- all those high-fat foods or this strange culture of the "high protein" diet. People think you're some kind of "weirdo." But the usual American diet isn't weird, right? We can buy meals in minutes with 1200+ calories and 69 fat grams and never even have to leave our cars! Read the reviews by the people who have actually tried McDougall -- they loved it. Even people who are enticed away from this way of eating area always wanting to go back to it. It does take some dedication at the start -- one is breaking some very old habits. But it's worth a try. McDougall has decades worth of healthy patients to reinforce what he's been developing since his earliest days as an MD. He's still a practicing doctor, still a researcher, and continues to grow and learn about nutrition, health and the vegan diet. Atkins died overweight and very sick. John and Mary McDougall are still healthy and robust -- and so are the people who actually follow his nutritional advice. Does that say something? Within the past couple of years, my brother-in-law, inspired by my mother's experiences on McDougall, tried it out. He was widowed, had had a heart-attack, and was looking for a better way to eat and be healthy. A couple years later, he's healthier than he's ever been in his life and wishes he hadn't waited so long. Of course, McDougall's real secret weapon is his wife, Mary McDougall. She's the true reason that John McDougall can convince people that they can still 'eat well" on a vegan diet. She's a nutritionist by training, and after so many decades, is no doubt one of the foremost vegan chefs around, always coming up with new recipes for both old and new favorites. I applaud them both for helping so many people discover a health and way of life they never knew they could. I recommend an earlier book, "The McDougall Program: 12 Days to Dynamic Health" as a better "starter" book than his later cookbooks. Give the McDougall program a try. You'll be amazed how fast you start feeling better, even if you felt pretty good before!
