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.

This was a whole new perspective of starch which I found liberating and inspiring, based on his experiences working as a Doctor

I had been wanting to read this book for a while and it was quite interesting. I feel it would have been easier to listen to and digest if it was read by Dr McDougall himself. As it was it sounded a bit robotic and monotonous. Still, I’m glad I purchased it. The other thing I didn't realise was that there are helpful images (such as how to serve your plate) that are in the paperback version but have not been added to the PDF library which is disappointing.

Interesting book only recipe PDFs avail in library
