Just reading through his site and suggestions on food etc. Wondering if anyone here has bought any of his books?<br><br><br><br>
Thanks!<br><br>

i like him as a person, and going to his clinic saved my cousin's life, literally. but i dont believe that humans were meant to live without any fat at all in their diets. so yeah i like him but the recipes he supplies totally suck imo. (sorry ms. mcdougal but its true ; ; )

Thanks for the reply. I totally agree that we are supposed to have healthy fat in our diets. Check this out, this is one of his meal suggestions for breakfast! How can this be healthy???!!!<br><br><br><br>
Hash Brown Potatoes<br><br>
Servings 2-4<br><br>
Preparation Time: 1 minute<br><br>
Cooking Time: 20 minutes<br><br><br><br>
* 1 bag Ore-Ida Country-Style Hash Browns<br><br><br><br><br><br>
Pour potatoes into a dry, nonstick frying pan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve with BBQ sauce, ketchup or salsa.

yeah and it tastes like-- well-- nothing. if someone wants to cut down on fats (which most north americaners should anyway) try Bryanna Clark-Grogan's "Almost No Fat" cookbooks. they rock and they're vegan. ^.^<br><br><br><br>
that being said, its because of him that my family eats very little meat, and my grandparents are vegans. yay!

I just finsihed the China Study and I immediately looked up Dr McDougall after I finished the book, I found it very interesting and I was very tempted to buy his books, they seem expensive though, I am glad we got feedback on that question, great timing.

My guess is Dr. McDougall recommends that people eat more than hash browns......<br><br><br><br>
Also remember that he deals with people who tend to have some fairly serious medical conditions such as Heart Disease, MS, and others which, studies have shown, benefit from a low-fat diet.
