John McDougall and The Starch Solution [View all]

I just got this book. Can I really eat a lot of starchy vegetables and grains and lose weight, as long as I stay away from all animal based foods and vegetable oils?

I'm already plant-based but we eat a meal of cod or salmon about once a week, and I have not given up the olive and canola oils. Don't go overboard with them, but...

I'm giving it a try this week to see. It certainly has been easier to not snack between meals so maybe there is something to it.
