What does McDougall say against flour?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

My copy of the MWLP book is back at home, which is about 15 hours away from me

at the moment. Was hoping someone could fill me in on this.

 

For the last few days I've made excuses to myself that, as long as everything

else I ate was McDougall-friendly, I could enjoy my salad rolls from the work

canteen for lunch if they were on wholemeal bread and not white.

 

I talked myself out of it today, ate the salad fillings, and have since been

staring longingly at the sad-looking, beetroot-tinged droopy bread rolls I have

neglected.

 

So what exactly does John McDougall say in the book about why flour should be

cut out of the diet? If someone could quote or summarise the facts for me, I'm

sure I'll be less likely to make excuses or feel bad about leaving out the

bread.

" The MWL plan is for those persons with stubborn weight problems that don't

respond to the 12-day diet and severely limits consumption of grain products

other than grains cooked whole -- even bread made from whole wheat is

eliminated. "

Hope that helps!

Foods you should eat:

All whole grains

and whole-grain cereals, such as brown rice, corn, oatmeal, barley, millet, and wheat berries; many

packaged grain cereals, puffed grains, and other

healthful cereals.

Avoid the following:

 

All flour

products, such as breads, bagels, and pretzels. The less a food is processed the better it is for weight

loss. Flour products are composed of fragments

of grain, or relatively small particles, which increase absorption and slow weight loss.
