Publisher's Synopsis
The Starch Solution isn't an easy plan to follow, but it may be worth it if weight loss and supporting overall health are your primary goals. A plus for many is that counting calories or restricting portion sizes aren't necessary to have success on this diet.Dr. McDougall may advise that a starch-based diet is ideal for humans, but the best diet for you is always the one that's most sustainable. Strictly limiting dietary fat is one of the biggest caveats of the Starch Solution. If the strictness of the Starch Solution is intimidating, try modifying the diet to suit your preferences and lifestyle.Remember, following a long-term or short-term diet may not be necessary for you and many diets out there simply don't work, especially long-term. While we do not endorse fad diet trends or unsustainable weight loss methods, we present the facts so you can make an informed decision that works best for your nutritional needs, genetic blueprint, budget, and goals.If your goal is weight loss, remember that losing weight isn't necessarily the same as being your healthiest self, and there are many other ways to pursue health. Exercise, sleep, and other lifestyle factors also play a major role in your overall health. The best diet is always the one that is balanced and fits your lifestyle.
