Synopsis

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, bestselling 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.

Solid health advice from a medical doctor with decades of experience using a starch-centered, low-fat vegan diet to help people improve their health.

Goodreads review by Marlene on August 25, 2015

I have two significant problems with this book. That said, I'm here for the recipes. First, the guy comes across as a pompous ass. His condescending pity for people who are not "thin and beautiful" is offensive. Indeed, one of his section titles is "Where have all the thin and beautiful people gone?"......more
