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.

Dr McDougall is a pillar of truth and wisdom. In the finest book of his career, he outlines in detail the core principles he has learned in his 50 years of practicing medicine, namely how to heal people with a healthy diet. If you want to get slim and healthy for good, and visit your physician only on very rare occasions, this is the book for you.
Narration was OK, not bad or very impressive, I'd say it was adequate. Nonetheless, I highly recommend that you either listen to the audio book or buy the Kindle version or print version, as long as you read this. It could change your life and improve it dramatically, like it has for thousands of other people.

The Bible for anyone interested in getting healthy

The reader's voice is very pleasurable and not boring at all. I don't generally like audio books for that reason but need an extra incentive to read this book. I'm so glad I did! I'm ready! Are you?

Wish I had read this years ago

I don't typically buy audiobooks not read by the author because they don't seem as authentic to me, but listening to this book I found myself forgetting that the narrator was not the author!

The content of the book is very thorough. I did find it hard to get through at points and was relieved to get to the practical information of how to apply the starch solution in the final two chapters.

If you need a why to change your diet to a vegan one, or information to give to skeptics, this is a good book to read!

Good information, skip to the last two chapters...

Dr. McDougall has done extensive research in to health and plant based eating. It constantly amazes me how much information can be obtained not only in this book but on his website. McDougall’s quest for the truth is truly amazing and has put him at odds with those holding fast mainstream ideas we have been taught over the past few decades. It has personally cost him to much to take a stand. Hats off to this great guy!

A book everyone should read.

Informative!

Listening to McDougall and the other good nutrition doctors helps me to make good food choices daily. However, he needs to stick to nutrition and health. It's a shame that he tries to guilt readers into healthy eating to save the planet/environment. Stick to nutrition and health Doc.

Classic McDougall
