THE MCDOUGALL PROGRAM FOR MAXIMUM WEIGHT LOSS8
Dr. John McDougall is a very likable man. I’ve been a guest on his radio program and I admire his desire to prevent disease. At the age of 18 he suffered a stroke that left him partially
paralyzed on his left side, and at 25 he underwent exploratory surgery for severe abdominal problems. He developed his McDougall Program to help himself heal, and later prescribed it to his patients. I like the basis of his plan, which emphasizes vegetables, fruits, and complex carbohydrates. For most people who simply want to lose weight, however, his otherwise sound program is too difficult to follow because it’s too restrictive. However, without the excessive restriction and with the addition of Chitosan, this program is really sound. It happens to be what the Fat Blocker Program is all about!
The zone12-Barry Sears’ best-selling diet asserts that carbohydrates are the primary villain in the battle against fat and disease. “All conventional weight reduction diets are hormonally incorrect,” he says, insisting that the key to achieving great physical, mental, and emotional health is learning “how to control hormonal responses to food.” That’s your passport into what he calls the
zone. To get into the zone, Dr. Sears tells you to eat a Zone-favorable diet from which you receive 30 percent of your calories from fat, 30 percent from protein, and 40 percent from carbohydrates. Unfortunately, bread, pasta, rice, and other grains are restricted, which robs the dieter of many nutrients and health-enhancing properties. This diet is actually a step backward toward the standard high-fat, high-protein diet that propelled so many millions of Americans to early encounters with heart disease, cancer, and sometimes death.
