What if I told you that potentially staying healthy and eating right is not as difficult as some experts make it seem? That you could possibly drastically improve your health and give your body the nutrients it needs while still consuming a number of your favorite foods; like potatoes!
A starch-based diet is a nutritional regimen that fuels your body through 70% starch, 10% fruits and 20% vegetables while cutting out meats, dairy and certain oils. Currently spearheaded by Dr. John McDougall, starch-based diets date as far back as the Neanderthals; with other evidence showing it’s existence throughout even the Aztec and Mayan civilizations.
The one thing each of these civilizations held in common is that they were all lean, fit and healthy which is the polar opposite to the typical individual of the modern day western world.
Not only does that menu probably effectively tantalize your taste buds but it also does something that I’ve often found other diets lacked: it has the ability to actually make you feel fully satisfied. In my own experience of them, both potatoes and legumes have always been among the most filling food items I’ve ever consumed, even more so than most of the meats I used to eat.
So not only does this diet allow you to continue to enjoy delicious foods it also satisfies the expanded hunger requirements our previous dietary choices have programmed us to feel we need. By having this feature it allows for an even easier transition to both beginning the diet and also later adjusting to a more appropriate consumption quantity.
Try potatoes roasted, baked, or mashed...
