Description
Fear of carbs has taken over the diet industry for the past few decades--the mere mention of a starch-heavy food is enough to trigger an avalanche of shame and longing. Here, diet doctor and board-certified internist John A. McDougall, MD, and his kitchen-savvy wife, Mary, show that a starch-rich diet can actually help you lose weight and prevent a variety of ills. By fueling your body primarily with carbohydrates rather than proteins and fats, you'll feel satisfied, boost energy, and look and feel better.--From publisher description.

The man's a rare genius and makes more sense than I've heard in a long time. Highly recommended for everyone.

This style of eating is completely vegan (no eggs or dairy) with the emphasis on whole grains, complex carbohydrates and no added oils - plant or otherwise. A typical plate would be half complex starch or grains and half veggies or fruit.
This is supposed to help with many of the lifestyle problems
The physician author asserts that complex carbohydrate foods in unprocessed forms, may increase blood sugars in the short time frame, but then actually produce lower blood sugars over the long time frame. Potatoes, with a relatively high GI (Glycemic Index) are an example of this.
Some of the FB followers shock start this plan by eating only potatoes for 30 days to get their bodies ‘weaned away’ from cravings and to get faster benefits.
