NEW RESEARCH: Effects of 7 days on an ad libitum low-fat vegan diet
The Nutrition Journal on October 14, 2014 published the results of 1,615 patients who attended the McDougall Program in Santa Rosa, California.
I attended the McDougall 10-day Live-In Program in June 2007 so my results are included in the published results of 1,615 patients. I’m very proud I am one of the many success stories from Dr. McDougall’s program and grateful for all the work he does in the name health and wellness.
Important Medical Findings Achieved in Seven Days from Eating the McDougall Diet
