Yes, we are all "programmed" with so much mis-information about starch it was very difficult for me to accept the premise. I had always thought that Sumo Wrestlers were fed large quantities of rice to gain weight and eating carbs like potatoes end up turning to fat. Dr. McDougall's lectures and the support of the group helped me re-think and better understand the damage our SAD from animal protein has done to us. I thought it was going to be impossible, but it is really easy and makes perfect sense now. It's really been easy and I enjoy it. I've watched all the videos I can find on You Tube from Dr McDougal, Dr Campbell, Dr Esselstyn, Dr Barnard, and others and have listened to all of Dr. McDougall's radio shows on I-Tunes. ...Really Awesome information! The biggest revelation has been that eating Vegan does not mean eating healthy. Almost all restaurants offer "healthy" vegan food, but it's usually cooked or covered with oil... even most of the food in vegan restaurants.... at one very popular vegan restaurant a waitress even told me that 'this is a vegan restaurant, not a health food restaurant' after I asked if I could get anything not cooked in oil! So I've learned it's just better to eat at home. So it's not a diet, its a learning journey!
