The only way to regain your health is to stop consuming the poisons and start eating foods that are rich in all the vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and fiber your body requires. But only by eating plant foods can you ensure that your body will get all the nutrition it needs.
Now that I've explained the reasons why you should do the McDougall Program, let me explain the specifics of how to do the program. This section will contain lists of foods that you can and can't eat on the program, the benefits of exercise, how to track your progress, measurements to take before you get started, and practical ways to prepare for your journey into health.
The McDougall Diet is based on unrefined starches - this means these are the foods you consume mostly. To this starch centerpiece you add fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. Simplicity has great value and makes the diet easy to prepare - there is no requirement for great variety to assure nutritional adequacy. The foods were designed complete long before they reached the dinner table.
