The Starch Solution Book. What I Got Wrong

I didn’t get this book the first time I read it — I actually skipped it.It just didn’t match what I thought I knew about carbs, weight loss, or health.But a year later, something clicked.And The Starch Solution ended up changing the way I eat — for good.
In this video, I’m sharing my honest review of the book by Dr. John McDougall — what I misunderstood, what surprised me, and how I’ve actually applied it over time.If you’re vegan, plant-curious, or just tired of overcomplicating food, I hope this helps you cut through the noise.

🍽️ STARCH-INSPIRED RECIPES
Many of my recipes are based around a Starch Solution style of eating —they're not all strictly oil-free or textbook WFPB,but they’re simple, comforting, and starch-based.
