(5)

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 information 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.

LOVE YOUR HEART — STARTING FEBRUARY 22 ❤️
What if improving your heart health could also improve your brain, eyes, kidneys, legs, spine… your entire body?
This month’s 7-Day Reboot, ReSet & Detox Program — “The Power of Us” is unlike any I’ve offered before.
Katherine Lawrence from Food Saved Me Institute and I are focusing on what truly determines whole-body health:
Your arteries — especially the arteries of the heart.
When the delicate inner lining of our blood vessels (the endothelium) becomes damaged from years of inflammatory eating, circulation suffers everywhere. But the body also has an extraordinary capacity to repair — when we give it the right conditions.
During this powerful week, we will focus on restoring that function through:
🥗 Simple “dump-and-bake” meals that support nitric oxide production
🥣 Comforting soups and stews rich in artery-loving vegetables
🥄 Delicious oil-free dressings and dips
💬 Real-time interaction, Q&A, and uplifting community support
🌅 Twice-daily live sessions (breakfast & dinner time)
📅 **Program Dates:** February 22–28
Can’t attend live? No problem — all replays, recipes, PDFs, and materials are emailed to you right away.
👉 Read more and save your spot here:

Let’s heal, learn, cook, and grow together.
❤️ Your heart will thank you.

This isn’t just another detox or diet. It’s a 7-day reset for your body, mind, and heart — wrapped in music, science, and community.
