Dr. John and Mary McDougall’s

Stocking Up for the Pandemic

Since the rise of COVID-19, and the discovery of the direct connection between surviving this infection and diet, more people are now interested in eating the McDougall way. Did you know that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has reported that people with underlying conditions, such as obesity, heart disease, kidney disease and diabetes are at a much higher risk of life-threatening complications from this virus? Those familiar with the McDougall Diet know our approach not only prevents these common chronic “underlying conditions,” but in most cases, people who follow the teachings of the McDougall Team, achieve a “cure” by addressing the cause of their condition: the rich Western Diet.

The backbone of Dr. McDougall’s medical practice has been a diet of breads, beans, corn, pasta, potatoes and rice. These familiar starches should make up 90% of the food on your plate (based on “eye-balling”). Add a few fresh or frozen green and yellow vegetables and fruits and you have their simple formula for health and healing.
