About this listen

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.

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.

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.

eye opening

Enjoyed it to the Max! I listened while reading the hard copy book. I have always wanted to manage my weight but never understood nutrition and this book opened by eyes to better understand nutrition and also steps required to being a healthy vegan.

Mad I’ve been lied to all these years

I was today years older when I realized the truth about all these lies we’ve been fed. Thank you so much for opening my eyes.
