Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hello all... My husband and I are about to embark on the McDougall 12 day diet. As I was putting together our meal plan for the week, I noticed that one of the recipes called for 'fat-free mayo'. What on earth is this? Mayonnaise is nothing but fat, how can you make it without fat? Even the vegan versions are more than 10% fat. Does anyone know what he is referring to? -Jeannine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Nayonnaise makes a very good fat-free mayonnaise you can find it in most health food stores make sure it is the fat- free one, Nayonnaise makes a lot of very fatty kinds too. There is a recipe for a fat free mayonnaise in one of the McDougall books also, I really can't remember which one exactly but you can download most all John's books now on his website at www.drmcdougall.com. You might be able to e-mail Mary McDougall and ask her if she might know which book it might be in. Good Luck with this, I did it and if you look on John's website you will see I am one of his success stories. In Good Health....Naturally Dr Scott B Raphael,N.D.JNJacobs <jnjacobs wrote: Hello all...

I found mine at my local Kroger store. Hope this helps. Hope you have a great McDougall journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to the official McDougall web site: http://www.drmcdougall.com and look at the newsletter recipe archives you'll see that Mary McDougall developed her own recipe for a tofu-based mayo that she uses in her recipes. It might be in the Dip recipes if you can't find it as " mayonnaise. " Sue in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 But tofu isn’t fat free, at least none that I’ve seen. In fact in Australia, I can’t even find a low-fat one!

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Anna, The McDougall diet has no added fat in the form of free oils. He does allow some occasional use of some richer plant foods, including tofu. Don't go wild with it, however. Aly Coop wrote: Re: McDougall question... fat-free mayo?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Thanks, Aly. On the soy subject, I’ve just received the Maximum Weight Loss book from Dr McDougall, and I’ve only just started reading it. But I am worried because he says no soy products as they are too high in fat — including tofu and soy milk. If his reasoning is the fat content, would you guys think I use fat free soy milk? We do have that in Australia. Other than that, he suggests rice milk. I can find that on the shelf, not in the cooler section of the store. But I’ve never tried rice milk and it took a while to get used to soy milk ... Anyone out there using rice milk? Do you like it?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi gang, The other thing about soy is that it can depress thyroid function in sensitive individual. Low thyroid function presents as listlessness, depression, hair loss & lackluster (including eyebrows), weight gain, constipation, bloating, loss of interest in everything. I love tofu (particular brands have a luscious creaminess), but I try to limit it to five small servings a week. Please realize that some people are just fine eating this stellar food.

Smiles, Janet I use 1/4 cup of soy milk mixed with 1/4 cup of water on my cereal in the morning. Other than that, I may use soy products 4-6 times a month. The real problem is with non-traditional soy products, particularly those with soy protien isolate. Aly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 hi anna i use soy milk sometimes and rice milk sometimes. i prefer the soy because it has that creaminess, but the rice is fine. i think cows milk to soy is a bigger change to get used to than soy to rice, so definitely give it a try. maybe you could mix the two together? best wishes alice On 29 Nov 2007, at 21:30, Coop wrote: > Thanks, Aly.
