I am wondering if anyone has tried the McDougall diet program? I'm testing this vegan style program for the next 30 days. As a non-vegetarian, its quite a switch to go from eating meat on a regular basis to a strict vegan diet. I'd love to talk to anyone else who has tried this.

Chris I'm following Dr Caldwell Esselstyn's program which is very similar. I eat nothing from a mother, nothing with a face, no dairy, no oil and only whole wheat flour products. You can go to www.heartattackproof.com to learn more. The program grew out of a 25 year study the doctor ran at the Cleveland Clinic with cardiac patients the hospital could do nothing more for. His program arrests the heart disease and has been proven to reverse it. My son is 30 years old and doing it also. He just completed his second Ironman competition in Panama City, Fl in November. His recovery time was exceptional.

The book is, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. A CNN Special, The Last Heart Attack is linked to the doctor's web page and he is featured in it along with Dr Dean Ornish and President Bill Clinton.

I have lost 46 pounds since September 4, 2019 following the strict vegan he recommends. My cardio capacity has increased greatly due to increased blood flow. Total cholesterol is 115.
