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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Most of us are so misinformed about what food is healthy. I thought I was eating well until I started looking into the actual evidence of nutrition and what effect it has on your body. You MUST read this book and others to educate yourself on how to feed yourself and your family. It could save your life. The other huge benefits of this diet are of environmental urgency and animal welfare.

I enjoyed the book, found the narrator a little monotone though!
I think I should
Have got this as a hard copy rather than audio! I am following starch solution, some of the information appears to be a slight variation from Dr McD YouTube talks! Appreciate the valuable information though.

Great information

I was a little unsure about this at the start, as so much of what I had already learned regarding weight and nutrition seemed to be in contradiction with this. However, I am so pleased I persevered as this book is full of some good and valuable insights into health and wellbeing. If you take your life seriously then this is a good listen with much thought provoking detail.

Thank you for this book. I was a sceptic but ive always loved potatoes! After 4 years of being vegan and not loosing weight and feeling awful this book gave me the knowledge to keep my principles and loose weight without counting calories or feeling hungry. I took my time listening to it for about 20mins a day as its quite intense but im so glad I listened to the whole thing as I would have missed the part about vegetable oils and over processed foods. I have always seen people cook in oil and thought nothing of it. My food tastes better and my digestive system is not inflamed. I can even eat real bread again and it’s so delicious!

Not hungry and loosing weight

A well written book with many convincing arguments to gaining back your health while at the same time losing weight and keeping it off. This is all about reviewing and changing your diet (what you eat) and not about starving yourself.

A great way to review your health and lose weight!

Absolutely riveting. The information contained within this book is life changing. It changed how I eat forever and improved my health markedly. If you want to to gain a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, I'd recommend getting this book. Thanks Dr and Mrs McDougall

A real eye opener!
