"Dr. John McDougall is the dean of medical practitioners in nutrition-centered medicine because of his incredible accomplishments, knowledge, and courage to stand up for what he believes. Thousands of his patients know him as an icon. When you read this book, you will too." -- T. Colin Campbell, PhD, coauthor of The China Study, "Dr. John McDougall is the dean of medical practitioners in nutrition-centered medicine because of his incredible accomplishments, knowledge, and courage to stand up for what he believes. Thousands of his patients know him as an icon. When you read this book, you will too."-T. Colin Campbell, PhD, coauthor of The China Study, "John McDougall, MD, has once again produced an outstanding book with recommendations gleaned from his decades of medical experience and strongly supported by the scientific literature. The information in this book can provide the reader the power needed to lose weight and regain health." --Alan Goldhamer, DC, director of TrueNorth Health Center and coauthor of The Pleasure Trap "I personally know many people who have found the McDougall program to be the key to vastly improved health for themselves and their families. This book lays it out clearly and without compromise." --John Robbins, author of No Happy Cows, The Food Revolution, and Diet for a New America "This time the Star McDougaller is John himself, joining with Mary in creating a masterfully crafted nutrition guide that destroys harmful myths and enhances the enduring capacity of whole food plant-based nutrition as the foundation to our long overdue health revolution." --Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., MD, author of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease "'Eat all you want; any time you want.' Statements that sound too good to be true usually are . . . too good to be true.

    Starch

    The "Starch" theory, by Dr McDougall, is a culmination of many years of study of the foods people from around the world eat and their impact on health. His starch way of eating feels "clean" except for the use of tofu in his recipes (hormones and GMO in soy products) and about the use of non-organics. I received reasonable responses from Dr McDougall's staff, although I'm not completely convinced. The reason for non-organics was because not everyone can afford organics; in the case of soy they stated that it's used only as a condiment in recipes. It seems that there's a lot of tofu used in the recipes. The book contains an abundance of recipes, some great, that include alternative products to animal sources. I disagree with the unhealthy content of some of the alternative ingredients ...

    You can find everything online

    A lot of the information contradicts itself. If you are not already plant based it would be useful. Not very useful if you are and have been plant based. No options for food allergies or gluten free. Doesn't really talk about 50/50 eating or any options. Glad I bought it used.

  • It Works!

    I've been fighting obesity and Type II diabetes for years. The Starch Solution has given me real hope. After 15 days following the protocols in this book, I've lost 15 pounds and counting. I feel great and am enjoying meals with spuds, rice, corn and barley. I'm never hungry! My blood work is better than it's been in 25 years. It's easy and doesn't require any expensive supplements, courses, equipment, etc. I.was skeptical but... The proof is in the potato!

  • Starchivore for life!

    I have been plant based since 2013 after a life-threatening illness. The diet sheet I was given on discharge from hospital was a joke, as almost everything I was "allowed" made me sick. I finally started searching for "natural care" for my health issues and thank goodness I saw Dr. McDougall's website.I know of him for years as I was 35 years vegetarian, but could never overcome my love of (addiction to) cheese and other dairy. I tried his free 10-day diet and never looked back. The Starch Solution is possibly his most important book ever, because he doesn't get bogged down in chemistry and mathematical formulae and so on when discussing human nutrition. Don't fear the whole food starches. I don't care who told you that high fat and/or high protein and/or low carb was the healthiest way ...
