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.

The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B", illuminates in this groundbreaking audiobook, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

Fat Vegan
I loved the book. I’m already vegan but have fallen into the fatty vegan foods. Excited to see the results of cutting oil and processed vegan foods. #veganforlife

A fine book ...
One key message, eat more starch in its natural state!
It didn't take the whole book to get this across to me, but the other material in the book as (while not new) relevant, informative and interesting.
Glad I read it, would not read a 2nd book on this same topic though.
I do plan to implement the suggestions in the book into practice.

A modern day hero, speaking truths.
Dr. McDougall makes it simple and clear. This should be a must read for those who are unsure of what real food can do for their health. I appreciate the Dr., one of the brave and caring who isn’t afraid to swim upstream.

not as good as expected
I think I could have saved money and just watched Youtube. This book is too much of a rant against the USA food industry and not enough just plain practical application. I am very disappointed. I think a book buy someone who used the starch solution would likely be better. I already had all this into from YouTube.

I hated this book
I expected to love this book as I advocate for a whole food plant-based diet and also high carb (starch). I was very disappointed in the way the McDougal tried to get his points across. He's inconsistent with the way he argues certain points. There's also a lot of misinformation here, such as his statement that soy should be kept to an absolute minimum or not ingested at all. I do not recommend this book.
