Me too. I read the book; very sciency. It's been a while, but I remember him saying that while starch might not be necessary, it is optimal for health. That's how I feel about it, that I feel better when I eat some starch.


I read up on the Perfect Health Diet, too. It's pretty much primal/paleo plus resistant starch - cooked and cooled white rice, potatoes - almost too good to be true! I'm a bit carb phobic from being on Atkins so long but know I thrive on these things. I will see some water weight come on at first but am working up the nerve to give myself a higher weight fluctuation allowance for a while to see if my body self-regulates.
