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 eugh to trigger an avalanche of shame and longing. But the truth is, carbs are t the enemy. Now, bestselling author John A. McDougall, MD, and his kitchen-savvy wife, Mary, prove that a starch-rich diet can actually help readers lose weight, prevent a variety of ills, and even cure common diseases.

  • Explains the science behind food so that everyone can understand it and the logic of veganism

    The book explains with scientific and historical evidence the massive health benefits of a starch based diet. It also explains that eating meat, poultry, fish oils and dairy are toxic to your body and cause diseases such as heart problems, obesity ,hypertension, diabetes, as well as cancers. John McDougall is a doctor and has focused on nutritional health for the last 40 years. He explains the dangers to your body of too much protein and the politics driving the promotion of meat when starches provide everything the body needs nutritionally. He also backs the change to a vegan diet easy by providing a 100 recipes in his book. He also explains the destructive environmental effects of eating meat, fish and dairy. Most of the clearing of forests in the world is to graze cattle. This book can save your health and heal the environment at the same time by just changing what you eat,
