“I’d love to join… but I could never give up salt, sugar, or my coffee.” Good news—you don’t have to.
Here are 5 of the most common myths about the McDougall Program — and the truth that might just surprise you Myth # 1: “You can’t use salt.”
We recommend cooking without it, but a light sprinkle on your finished meal? That’s totally fine if it helps you enjoy your food more. Myth # 2: “Sugar is off-limits.”
We’re not anti-sugar. A little brown sugar in your oatmeal or maple syrup on your banana pancakes is perfectly okay. Myth # 3: “Coffee isn’t allowed.”
If your morning coffee brings you joy, keep it. We meet you where you are. Myth # 4: “The food is bland.”
Not when it’s done right. With spices, fresh herbs and sauces like Heather’s favorite Pico de Gallo, your plate will be anything but boring. Myth # 5: “It’s an extreme diet.”
There’s nothing extreme about potatoes, rice, vegetables and beans. In fact, dishes like Gallo Pinto (another one of Heather’s favorites), a satisfying mix of rice and beans, are everyday staples in cultures around the world. You’ll eat abundantly—and feel your best doing it. “Starch is at the core of my health-enhancing diet. If you take away just one message from this book, it should be: Eat more starch.”
