Summary: Changed our lives!
Comment: This book has produced amazing results in our lives in just the 12 days!! I had read testimonies on his website and had my doubts....BUT WOW it works!! By following his diet for 12 days my cholesterol levels dropped over 50 points!! I had not been able to get them to drop using regular low fat diets and fish oil and exercise.
Also I was having trouble with liver enzyme levels and these have returned to normal.
I also have lost ten pounds in 3 weeks on the diet. I am amazed because I was already in the normal range for weight, but wanted to get to the lower part of the range!! It worked!!
My husband wanted to lower his blood pressure and now he is off of his blood pressure medication. His pressure is around 116 over 60 something--this is what he has been averaging. During the first week of the diet he was feeling weird and dizzy---we realized he needed to get off the BP medication because his BP was dropping. McDougall had said you needed to take your BP daily if on the diet and if you were on BP medication.
So I highly recommend this book if you are serious about change. I did not like all of the menus in the book , but he said you could pick the ones you like.
The neat thing about this diet is you just have to try it for 12 days and you can see if it works!! If it does (and it will) you can continue on it for the rest of your life.
He is a doctor and has spent years researching what his conclusions are and all I can say is it works!!

Summary: Losing Weight and Feeling Great
Comment: This book has been a godsend in my life. I had lost 8 pounds by starting walking, got stuck, lost another 8 pounds through Weight Watchers and got stuck again for several months. Finally, I decided to try Dr. McDougall's plan. I had the book for quite some time, but didn't think I could follow his plan. Wow! What a surprise! Not only am I having fun with it, I've lost a total of 22 so far on the McDougall Plan with only 9 left to reach my idea weight and it has been faster than anything I've tried before - about 1.5 - 2 pounds per week. It has been easier than I could have imagined because I am never hungry. For the first time in my life, my body tells me when I am full and I can stop eating. I have always loved starches anyway, and this diet is perfect for me. I've started trying a lot of the recipes and have been thoroughly happy with most of them. I have only one disagreement with Dr. McDougall and that is in the area of plant fats (unprocessed) like avocados. I eat them quite often and am still losing weight and feel great. If I slow down in my weight loss, I may try to cut down, but right now I'm doing too well to change anything.

Summary: McDougall Book Lean and Clean
Comment: Dr. John McDougall is that rare doctor in American medicine: One who tells the truth about the drugs or surgery stance of the AMA. Most refreshing is his absolute candor, leading the reader to wonder at times why his medical license is stil in tact. For those who seek medical truth, it doesn't get any straighter John McDougall.

Summary: Interesting information
Comment: I purchased this book after visiting Dr. McDougall's web site. Actually, almost all of the information in this book can be found at his web site, so if you are looking for new recipes or other information not posted on his site, this is not the book for you. You might want to buy something else, a newer book or DVD. This book outlines his recommended diet and lifestyle for optimal health including the rationale for avoiding certain foods and including others - basically avoiding all animal products and lowering fat intake. There is a 12-day diet plan included as well as various recipes and information on a number of health problems that can be helped by healthy eating. Overall, very interesting reading and a good start for anyone wanting to follow a low-fat vegan diet.
