Man who ate nothing but potatoes for a year reports dramatic weight loss (1 Viewer)

[FLIPPY]

I wonder if going on a strict Buds' Broiler Cheeseburger only diet would work?

I am definitely hankering.

Only if it's the #4....

Potatoes are part of a plant group called "nightshades". Overconsumption causes inflammation in the body and can cause many health issues over time. However, the other crap he was eating is toxic to the body as well. I think moderation is the perfect diet. Too much of anything is not good. I also find that restricting one food from your diet always backfires (unless you're allergic of course). You will most likely end up binging on it. This is why I can't stand fad diets. If you have to buy something, such as a book or certain type of food to be on the diet, it's probably a sham.

All true
But it's also important to remember he described himself as an addict (if true) moderation is not really going to help at first
The addiction needs to be broken then strictly managed - moderation can be part of the management, but it's not likely to be an effective "cure"

I guess now he's a potato addict.

it would be interesting to see to what degree his chemical make-up changed
if sugar would still release dopamine in the way that it clearly used to or if he actually starved it
(b/c yes, i'm sure at some point he had both a chemical and psychological addiction to processed foods and now maybe just the psychological one remains)

regular potatoes or Martian potatoes?

And he lost a ton of weight in the movie! Coincidence?

There are all these diets where you stop eating crap and drink only juice, or stop eating crap and eat a lot of protein and fat but no carbs, or you stop eating crap and don't eat sugar, or for this guy you stop eating crap and only eat potatoes, etc etc

maybe it's the "stop eating crap" part that's the key?
