Contrary to what many believe, carbohydrates are not the enemy—at least not the right ones. The McDougall Program encourages eating whole, unrefined carbs like potatoes, sweet potatoes and oats. Refined carbs (like white bread or pastries) can cause cravings, but whole carbohydrates digest slowly within your digestive tract, keeping you full longer and helping with steady weight loss. Tip: Add a fiber-rich carbohydrate like quinoa, brown rice or barley to your meals - try Quinoa Market Salad, Mushroom Barley Soup, and Curried Barley and Eggplant. You’ll stay satisfied eating these comfort foods and support your weight loss goals. In the next email, we’ll discuss how fruits and vegetables play a big role in the McDougall Program.
