The Starch Solution

It's clear that a lot of people here are either biased or misinformed. The starch solution isn't about deprivation. It's only eating plant based vegan foods concentrating on starchy carbohydrates. This is because your body uses carbs as it's first source of energy.
No it doesn't, well abject simplification is misleading ..glucose as a source of energy in the body is the result of food, not a specific macro alone, getting broken down in the digestive system and stored as glycogen (yes, still a major simplification and avoiding entire discussion on ATP)
All other sources get stored as fat to use later.
No it doesn't
You can eat as much as you WANT.
No you can't
It forces you to learn when you are hungry and when you are full. It's hard to binge on starchy carbs because of the density.
No it's not
Plus you won't get fat eating vegetables as long as you're not binging.
You mean as long as you're not eating more calories than you burn
I did this for 1.5 months and lost 25lbs only going to one spinning class a week. Ignore people who have never given it a chance much less watched his lecture or read his book.
You lost 4lb a week ..eek that's not healthy
Also way to bump a year old thread9 -

Ironic post is ironic.
There is no net storage of fat in a caloric deficit regardless of macro composition.6 -

LOL Nope, it doesn't.
You cannot eat as much as you want. I can guarantee you that there are overweight high carb vegans out there, even plant based ones.
Yes, you can get fat eating vegetables if you go over your TDEE. Someone who is quite petite and older has a lower TDEE and can easily gain if all she ate were vegetables.

Heh.It's clear that a lot of people here are either biased or misinformed.
In other words, deprivation.The starch solution isn't about deprivation. It's only eating plant based vegan foods concentrating on starchy carbohydrates.
Human bodies use whatever energy available, be it fat, protein, carbs or alcohol.This is because your body uses carbs as it's first source of energy.
All excess energy gets stored as fat to use later.All other sources get stored as fat to use later.
Of course you can. Food is cheap. If you want to manage your weight, you just have to not eat too much. If you don't want to eat too much, you're golden. But if you want to eat too much, you'll struggle.You can eat as much as you WANT.
Why would anyone want to force themselves into something when they don't have to?It forces you to learn when you are hungry and when you are full.
Yeah, right, nobody binges on starchy food.It's hard to binge on starchy carbs because of the density.
You won't get fat on ANYTHING as long as you don't binge.Plus you won't get fat eating vegetables as long as you're not binging.
You lost weight through a sustained calorie deficit.I did this for 1.5 months and lost 25lbs only going to one spinning class a week.
Luckily, we are allowed to use common sense.Ignore people who have never given it a chance much less watched his lecture or read his book.9 -
You can eat until satiation. It works, and has reversed my type 2 diabetes in 3 months. Lost 20 in 1.5 months so far. No meat, dairy, animal products or oil. It is a low fat, plant based diet based around plant starches with the inclusion of veggies and fruits. Calorie density is of big importance. 200 calories of oil does not fill your stomach and is way easy to eat. 200 calories of veggies stuffs you up. Eliminating oils and dairy and meat allows your body to heal it's arterial damage and let's your body use up the fat it has stored up. Insulin resistance is reversed because glucose isn't blocked by cellular fat.
It works, go for it!23 -

LOLno.
You lose weight by eating less calories than you burn. That's called a caloric deficit. The rest of that mumbo-jumbo is hokey vegan propaganda.10 -

Citation needed. You lost weight because you were in a deficit.5 -

Some other dr's to look up: Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr.Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr. Michael Greger, and I'm sure there are others. Sure, they've all written books on this, but the DIET is not sold. It's free information.5

And how in B.C they all ate grains and stayed in shape. I'm thinking about trying this out! For those who know what I'm talking about and has tried this out, can you tell me your guys stories about it? Does it work?
If you guys haven't watched it I really suggest you do! Its real interesting.
Stop watching videos. Obesity is caused because people eat too much carbs, fats and proteins combined.... that's it.4 -

You wrote: "Eliminating oils and dairy and meat allows your body to heal it's arterial damage and let's your body use up the fat it has stored up . . . "
The point is that your body used the fat it had stored up because you were consistently in a calorie deficit. You may have prompted that process by reducing the calories you consumed from animal products and fat (and not replacing them with calories from other foods), but you can reach a deficit while continuing to eat those foods (if you choose). For people who find a HCLW diet without animal products satiating, it may be a good way to consistently reach a deficit. But it isn't the only way to achieve weight loss.7 -

Aw man, I read that first sentence as "you can eat until saturation" and was hoping for something awesome like sitting in a kiddie pool full of apple sauce all day absorbing nutrients through your skin.4 -
Last time I ate starch, my blood sugar crashed. And my digestive issues got worse.5
