"The Starch Solution" is a dietary approach developed by Dr. John McDougall that emphasizes the consumption of whole, plant-based starches as the foundation of a healthy diet. This includes foods like potatoes, rice, corn, and beans, which are rich in carbohydrates and provide essential nutrients while being low in fat. The plan encourages the reduction of animal products and processed foods, promoting a lifestyle that can lead to weight loss and improved health. By focusing on starches, the diet aims to provide sustained energy and support overall well-being, making it accessible and practical for many individuals.
