mcdougall's starch diet thoughts

[costaren]

Has anyone heard of the mcdougall starch diet? it is a high fiber, high calorie and low fat diet which is primarily potatoes, beans, rice and excludes animal foods or added oils. it is a high starchy diet and it is based on Dr. John McDougall who saw how civilizations have thrived on this type of diet.

[cbbram]

No never heard of it. I just eat high quality whole foods and I don't label it as anything other than a meal.

Never heard of it personally but I prefer a diet that does not eliminate animal products.

 

[RickRock13]

Not something I'd do. Animal products and meat is where I prefer my protein come from
