In The Starch Solution (2012), Dr. John A. and Mary McDougall advocate for a simple, starch-based diet. Starches are clean, healthy, and filling foods that provide fueling energy, nourishing calories, and essential nutrients to the body. Though starches are often villainized as a source of fat by the food industry, the McDougalls assert that they offer long-lasting benefits. Followers of their program regain control of their appearance and health, achieve permanent weight loss, and even live longer. The McDougalls back up their program with extensive references to scientific studies. It’s also an easy plan to follow, as the McDougalls include detailed descriptions of the world’s best and worst foods, and plenty of recipes to get you started.
