| For maximum weight loss, it’s important to eat plenty of non-starchy vegetables—think leafy greens (like arugula, kale and swiss chard), tomatoes, carrots, green beans and mushrooms. These are low in calories and high in nutrients, helping you feel full without overeating. The McDougall Program for Maximum Weight Loss encourages filling at least half of your plate with these veggies to lower your calorie intake while still enjoying hearty, satisfying meals. The other half of your plate should be filled with starchy vegetables like potatoes, rice or millet. Tip: Start meals with a large salad or a veggie soup. This fills you up before moving on to the main course, lowering the total calories in your meals while keeping you satisfied.
