#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.
