Sample Book Insights:
#1 All fats are equal, and will be stored as fat if you don’t use them for fuel. Olive oil is far worse for your body than sugar, as it is easily stored as fat and doesn’t satisfy your hunger.
#2 The McDougall Program for Maximum Weight Loss is a no-nonsense diet based on the latest scientific and medical evidence about nutrition and the hunger drive. It is a weight loss plan that does not leave you hungry or weak. You should expect to lose between six and fifteen pounds of weight per month, especially if you start out needing substantial weight loss.
#3 The McDougall Program for Maximum Weight Loss is based on the body’s natural mechanisms, and it is safe and healthy. It can be followed for the rest of your life if you are willing to change your lifestyle.
#4 The main causes of overweight and illness in America are a rich, fat-laden diet and a sedentary lifestyle. These two factors alone place an overwhelming burden on the human body. If you believe that you are a failure because you cannot lose weight on the American diet, you are wrong.

#4
The main causes of overweight and illness in America are a rich, fat-laden diet and a sedentary lifestyle. These two factors alone place an overwhelming burden on the human body. If you believe that you are a failure because you cannot lose weight on the American diet, you are wrong.
#5
While diets may help you lose weight temporarily, they don’t address the root cause of the problem which is a diet of fatty foods. And while many Americans are overweight, there is another component of weight loss that has yet to be widely recognized: our need for carbohydrates.
#6
While you are eating fat and protein, you are still craving carbohydrates. If your diet is deficient in carbohydrates, you will have to eat a lot of food to meet your carbohydrate needs, which will come in the form of dietary fat.
#7
The McDougall Program is the best diet for you if you believe that yours is the worst case. Many of the men and women written about in this book had believed that they were beyond hope of controlling their weight. But they adopted the McDougall Program, and found that it worked for them.
#8
The McDougall Program for Maximum Weight Loss has clear boundaries, so it is uncomplicated and easy to follow. Meanwhile, you can eat as much as you want and always feel full. Since fat is only 3 to 5 percent of your total daily calorie intake, almost no fat is left over to be moved to your body fat stores.
#9
The McDougall Program is a lifestyle of inactivity and a diet rich in fat and low in carbohydrates. It is the same diet we humans have been eating for millennia. It is the diet that is still consumed in traditional cultures and by most of the world.
Insights from Chapter 2
#1
The hunger drive was not designed to be ignored or suppressed. It was designed by nature to be powerful, and it becomes even more powerful the longer you go without food. If you stop eating, your physical discomfort will extend beyond hunger pangs to fatigue, cold, and nausea.
#2
When you stop dieting, you may overeat and regain weight more quickly than you lost it. The body has a number of survival mechanisms that food deprivation sets in motion. One is a tendency to overeat when food becomes available again.
#3
Dieting, and the yo-yo syndrome, is not only ineffective but also harmful to health because of the changes it produces in body composition. When you replace muscle with fat, you take away the very tissues that would help you lose weight in the future.
#4
When people try to manipulate their hunger, they are surrendering to one compelling yet erroneous belief: that their need for food is wrong. They believe that nature designed them incorrectly, and thus they believe that their hunger drive must be changed or corrected. But is such a thing possible. Can our biological need for food be out of alignment with our need for health and stability in our weight.
#5
The nonessential needs, such as those for sex and occupational success, often rule our lives, but we can live without them. The problem is not the need itself, but what we eat.
#6
Food is the only necessity that offers us choices. We must understand and appreciate these choices in order to maintain our health. This requires a degree of education and self-understanding.
#7
If you are to achieve ideal weight and health, you must change the kinds of foods you use to satisfy your hunger. This was the experience of Gary Digman of Guerneville, California, a forty-seven-year-old musician and teacher. He had been suffering from overweight and high blood pressure, which eventually convinced him to give the diet a try in 1990. He has lost 60 pounds and undergone a personal transformation.
#8
You must replace your daily fare of meats, dairy products, and desserts with potatoes, corn, rice, beans, squashes, green and yellow vegetables, and fruits. In nutritional terms, this means that all removable fats and oils in your diet must be replaced with carbohydrates.
