Didn't you know? Some of us do come with warning labels.

I wish her the best as those who she attracts with her success. How great they showed the cover of "The Starch Solution". I would have loved to have seen Jeff Novick's bean burgers with the basic recipe in the article.
Aloha, patty
What reason did he give for that?

I have no problem with them making money off being entertainers, selling recipe books, etc, but I do have a problem with them offering specific advice, answering specific questions and making money off such services.

The biggest reason is because people tend to ignore the starches opting for a lot more veggies than starches. In this thread, viewtopic.php?p=212124#p212124 , he explains a little more why.

She glosses over details in her videos and mugs for the camera (to make up for it?). She's failed at several diets and is fairly new to the starch solution. She's young, and although that is not a disqualification, there's something to be said for having experience and living through the physical changes of middle age. Degrees and practical experience aren't everything but they make a difference. Dr. McDougall, you'll notice, is an MD and has many decades of medical practice experience seeing probably thousands of patients. That counts!
I'll go so far as to say that are many people right here on this board who are much better qualified to dispense advice on the starch solution than high carb Hannah. The warning label...have your fun with it...it's about the advice she is dispensing. She has no business doing so from what I can see. Her personal journey may be great. It may be uplifting to many and inspire them. That's all great. Make videos all day every day about that. But the advice and her tone of authority is another matter and it will likely do more harm than good. Time will tell.
But let me ask you fans of high carb Hannah something. Why do we need her starch solution advice at all? Was Dr. McDougall negligent in clarifying his position? Did he not write enough books? What about newsletters? Has he neglected publishing articles and updates? Some of you know that he had a radio show. I've listened to every episode. He's made a gazillion videos plus he's posted videos of other icons such as Pritikin. There's the ASW. He answers emails. He's even published a picture book! And of course, Jeff is here to help clarify any further questions. But heaven help us all. We will fail miserably if high carb Hannah doesn't come me to our rescue. Her videos look like like a colossal waste of time to me but knock yourselves out. Your brain cells, your business.
