Dr. John McDougall has proven that a starch-rich diet can actually help you lose weight, prevent a variety of ills, and even cure common diseases. The Starch Solution is based on a simple swap: Fueling our body primarily with carbohydrates rather than proteins and fats, causing us to feel satisfied, boosting our energy, and making us look and feel our best.
Dr. McDougall has been a proponent of a plantbased diet for decades. His expertise has helped thousands of people to slim down and to regain their health—many of their stories are in his book, including people who have lost more than 125 pounds in mere months, as well as patients who have conquered life-threatening illnesses such as type-2 diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease.
Based on the latest scientific research, his easy-to-follow plan teaches you what to eat and what to avoid, how to make healthy swaps for your favorite foods, and smart choices when dining out. Starting with a 7-Day Sure-Start Plan, he provides a variety of foods and snacks that ensure you'll never go hungry—and still lose weight! His book also provides a helpful weekly menu planner and 100 delicious, satisfying (and affordable) recipes.
