what starches did you pick for Mary's Mini

[kimba]

I plan on doing this in January. I was reading about the mini program, and she says you can use more than one. Im thinking that is what I will do.

Have you stuck only with one starch the whole 10 days or did you mix it up, to stay with the plan?

Hi Kimba,
I think that on Mary’s Mini you just eat one starch. Here is a quote from the July 2006 newsletter that you can read here.

“Mary’s Mini-McDougall Diet is offered as a way to ease the learning curve for those just starting our program and a means to increase the efficiency of the regular McDougall Diet by simplifying food choices. The diet follows the basic principles of the McDougall Program: starch-based with the addition of fruits and vegetables, but limits food choices to one kind of starch and repetitive selections of green and yellow vegetables and fruits. The same starch and vegetables are eaten everyday.”

If you’ve read somewhere that Mary’s Mini should include multiple startches, perhaps you can provide a reference so we can look at that. Thanks.
