Have any of you tried Dr. McDougall's diet and/or recipes?

So…I just got a couple books based on the Dr. McDougall programs: one is about the diet itself, (low-fat, vegan diet) and the other is the cookbook. I attempted my first recipe tonight which was a bean burger made from kidney beans. They were delicious but in no way held their "burger" form.
I would love to know if any of you vegans have read the book or done the program, and if you’ve had luck with any of the recipes. Thanks

lowfatdg — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 23:54:56 +0000

would be best for me since I am on a low fat, low cholesterol diet due to having gallstones? They do say stay away from dairy, but just checking to see if I can have some sort of milk product with my cereals. Skim, low fat, fat free etc.

Thanks!
Okay not trying to loose weight! I am 5’7" and weigh 125lbs. I am doing this due to gallstones.

Does anyone know of any low carb and low fat snacks?

lowfatdg — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 23:28:17 +0000

Well, I’ve passed 60 recently, my blood pressure went up and then with Lisinopril it was controlled after a few months and is back to 11X over 65-75. However, now my blood sugar is marginal high, about 365 and my cholesterol has gone way up, so the docs have placed me on a low carb, low fat diet. I’m supposed to watch everything, etc, etc. My weight is 193 at 6’1" and I am not lethargis evn though I don’t feel very physically capable anymore. I’ve always eaten and drunk anything and everything, so I am finding it hard to make adjustments. They said I could have snacks other than the 3 75gr carb meals per day if the snacks were both low carb and low fat. I thought this would be easy but I am finding it impossible to find or imagine such snacks. Can anyone who is a dieting buff help me with this?

I’ve been eating 1200 calories a day (consisting of healthy, low fat, low sugar things) and working out on an elliptical for roughly 30 minutes 5 days a week. How much weight can I expect to lose in 4 months?
haha, yes it’s me in the "avatar," but you’d be surprised by how much I weigh : / lol… I am losing weight in a healthy manner but I just wanted some estimates as to how much I could expect to lose according to what I was doing.
