                                Created by Mary McDougall as a 'trimmed-down, fast-acting modification' of the standard McDougall Program, the temporary meal plan known as a Mary's Mini is designed to jump-start weight loss or simplify eating. This short-term, restrictive diet focuses on a single starch, with the goal of resetting taste buds and breaking unhealthy eating habits.
