The Starch Solution

Eat the Foods You Love, Regain Your Health, and Lose the Weight for Good!

By: John McDougall, Mary McDougall

Narrated by: Stephen R. Thorne

From Atkins to Dukan, fear of the almighty carb has taken over the diet industry for the past few decades - even the mere mention of a starch-heavy food is enough to trigger an avalanche of shame and longing. But the truth is, carbs are not the enemy. Now, best-selling author John A. McDougall, MD, and his kitchen-savvy wife, Mary, prove that a starch-rich diet can actually help us lose weight, prevent a variety of ills, and even cure common diseases. By fueling the body primarily with carbohydrates rather than proteins and fats, listeners will feel satisfied, boost energy, and look and feel their best.

Including a 7-day sure-start plan, helpful weekly menu planner, and nearly 100 delicious, affordable recipes, The Starch Solution is a groundbreaking program that will help listeners shed pounds, improve their health, save money, and change their lives.

Critic reviews

"The book's solid scientific information and feasible regimen make the McDougall case for starches quite persuasive and promising." ( Publishers Weekly)

Great insights for health and weight loss

Eat more starchy vegetables to fuel your day and avoid added oil. I’ve lost 50 pounds using this method.

Gaining weight only when I’ve gone lax on limiting oils and more than one serving of nuts.

Great book

As a doctor I was hoping for more detail and research but a great book for the standard American.

all true SAVE YOUR LIFE!

This diet is my roadmap for life. I'm skinny, strong and healthy, vegan and FULL. THANK YOU!

Clean eating simple yet not easy

One of the most important things in order to set yourself up for success is, remove everything from your home that is not compliant to the suggestions that Dr. McDougall makes in his starch solution. Once you make the switch completely over to a starch solution You may become completely compliant, very successful and you will see fantastic results as I have when I lost 60 pounds.

Worth listening to

So much valuable information, you cannot pleadd ignorance of health after this! Not only is the information backed by Science, is made relatable by testimonies from all walks of life, inspiring a change in thinking.

Narration was good, however more clear breaks or changes is needed from the words of the author and the words of others as their stories is shared.
