MAXIMUM WEIGHT LOSS: BACK TO BASICS

September 24 - 30

Fine-Tuning The Starch Solution for Maximum Results

Maximum Weight Loss isn't about eating less food. It's about getting more satisfaction and volume from fewer calories.

Last month, we returned to the simplicity and common sense of Dr. John McDougall's The Starch Solution. This September, we take the next step.

Maximum Weight Loss is Dr. McDougall's more focused approach for people who want to accelerate weight loss or finally address those stubborn pounds. Starch remains at the center of the plate, but we fine-tune the program by increasing non-starchy vegetables, emphasizing intact and minimally processed starches, and reducing the higher-calorie-density foods that can quietly slow our progress.

We'll explore the power of calorie density and volume eating, including the simple 50/50 approach: plenty of colorful, non-starchy vegetables alongside satisfying starches such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, corn, beans and other whole starches. The goal isn't smaller portions, counting calories or going hungry. It's learning how to fill your plate—and your stomach—with more food for fewer calories.

For seven days, we'll put these principles into practice with simple, delicious meals, live coaching sessions, group conversations, accountability and personalized guidance—while also addressing the behaviors that can sabotage even the best food plan: cravings, emotional eating, food noise and the cycle of losing and regaining weight.

No calorie counting. No tiny portions. No complicated recipes.

Just simple food, lower calorie density, satisfying starches—and a more focused path toward your goals.

THIS PROGRAM IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF...

• You feel overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice.

• You struggle with cravings or emotional eating.

• You want simple meals you can prepare again and again.

• You simply want to get back to what works.

• You'd benefit from encouragement, accountability, and a supportive community.

Join us as we return to simple food, timeless science, and a supportive community that will encourage you every step of the way. Imagine no longer wondering what to eat.

Enrollment takes just a minute.

Because this is a live program with interactive sessions, space is limited to keep the group experience supportive and personal.

If you feel this reset is for you, we encourage you to reserve your spot soon.

What You'll Rediscover

SIMPLICITY

• Simple breakfasts, lunches, and dinners you can prepare again and again

• How to spend less time in the kitchen

• How to simplify shopping and meal planning

• How preparation makes healthy choices easier

CONFIDENCE

Instead of wondering what to eat every day, you'll develop confidence in a way of eating that is practical, enjoyable, and sustainable.

COMMUNITY

One of the most powerful parts of this program is discovering that you don't have to do this alone.

For seven days you'll become part of a supportive community where questions are encouraged, struggles are understood, and victories—big and small—are celebrated together. And then there is a way to be part of a group that stays together 365 days of the year.

Why The Power Of Us Is Different

This isn't a prerecorded course you watch by yourself. It's a live experience. For seven days we meet together twice each day to learn, cook, ask questions, solve problems, encourage one another, and celebrate progress.

You'll Receive:

• Fourteen live interactive sessions

• Cooking demonstrations

• Beautiful downloadable handouts

• Daily meal plans

• Live Q&A

• Personalized email support directly from Gustavo and Katherine

Whether you attend live or watch the replay, you'll never feel like you're doing this alone.

A Legacy That Changed My Life

Dr. John McDougall and Dr. Gustavo Tolosa

Many years ago, Dr. John McDougall's teachings transformed my own health and changed the course of my life.

Over the years, I had the extraordinary privilege of becoming a Certified Starch Solution Coach through Dr. McDougall's Health & Medical Center, serving as his webinar host and producer for hundreds of educational webinars, and being featured as one of his Star McDougallers.

This month's Back to Basics program is inspired by the timeless principles he devoted his life to teaching.

"The greatest certification I ever received wasn't a piece of paper—it was the privilege of learning directly from a man whose work changed my life."

Gustavo Tolosa, DMA

Certified Starch Solution Coach • Whole-Food, Plant-Based Educator • Concert Pianist

After transforming his own health and losing more than 70 pounds through the principles taught by Dr. John McDougall, Gustavo dedicated his life to helping others discover that healthy eating can be simple, satisfying, and sustainable.

A Certified Starch Solution Coach through Dr. McDougall's Health & Medical Center, Gustavo later had the privilege of serving for several years as Dr. McDougall's webinar host and producer, presenting hundreds of educational webinars and interviewing many of the world's leading experts in lifestyle medicine. He was also honored to be featured as one of Dr. McDougall's Star McDougallers, sharing his own health transformation with the worldwide McDougall community.

Today, Gustavo combines those timeless principles with his own practical teaching style, helping people simplify meal preparation, overcome emotional eating, build consistency, and regain confidence in a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle. His programs are known for their warmth, live interaction, beautiful downloadable handouts, practical strategies, delicious recipes, and a supportive community where every question is welcome.

As an international concert pianist and educator, Gustavo also believes that healing is about more than food. Throughout the week, he often incorporates brief moments of music, reflection, and encouragement to remind participants that lasting health is built not only one meal at a time, but one day at a time.

"My goal isn't simply to help you eat differently. My goal is to help you build a way of living that brings confidence, joy, and lasting health."
