The Starch Solution: A Simple Way to Lose Weight
Starch Solution's Ground Rules for losing weight
- Choose most foods from the left of the Eat This List and limit foods from the right side of the list
- Eat until you are satisfied
- It is okay to graze
- Allow time for digestion

- Restrict variety
Eat
- Eat whole grains and potatoes
- Eat legumes
- Make green and yellow vegetables 1/2 to 1/3 of your meal

Eliminate

If you want a "quick fix" short-term "drop weight quickly" plant then I suggest you follow a 75/25 plate and:
- Choose ONE starch to be eaten at every meal; breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Add the same selections of green and yellow vegetables and fruits to the meal
- Restrict variety; you want a short-term diet of monotony.
*As always make sure to check in with your doctor before starting any strict diet and/or change to your diet
