The Starch Solution

The Starch Solution The Starch Solution is an easy to follow program, promoting optimal health and permanent weight loss with low-fat, oil free, plant-based diet.

It is based on clean and unprocessed starches that provide fiber, nutrients and great flavor and variety. Gustavo Tolosa, Plant-Based Advocate and Starch Solution Coach, started this page when, after years of searching for the right answer, he found Dr. McDougall's Program and lost 70 pounds in 9 months and have kept them off until the present. Finding the correct scientific and medical i

nformation is crucial if one is to succeed. Nobody can maintain a diet in which one is hungry all the time. A low-fat, OIL FREE, starch-based diet with the addition of green, yellow, orange and red vegetables as well as fruits is the only diet that will keep you satisfied and be low enough in calories and fat to promote permanent weight loss. This page is where Dr. Tolosa share just plain and truthful information not influenced by the food and pharmaceutical industries. With "The Starch Solution" you should expect to lose between 6 and 15 pounds of weight per month. Dr. Tolosa holds a Doctorate in Musical Arts (DMA) from the prestigious Eastman School of Music and is an active concert pianist and master teacher.

Hello! Delicious lunch with a combination of leftovers and new ingredients. I started sautéing a medium onion, chopped. Then added lightly steamed chopped spinach and half of a chopped tomato I had laying around. Mixed it and added spices like spicy curry powder, turmeric, powder mustard, Toasted Everything spice mix, lemon juice. Then I added my leftover chickpeas that had onions, garlic, mushrooms and green cabbage. It tastes amazing.
