Just when it seems like you've heard of every crazy diet fad another one comes down the pike. A 36 year old Australia man decided at the first of the year he would eat only potatoes and sweet potatoes. As of yesterday he has lost 70 lbs and lowered his cholesterol and says he feels amazing and isn't bored with potatoes. Before he started his potato only diet he considered bananas or mangoes but chose potatoes because they were both cheaper and more nutritious. He started the diet in an attempt to control his relationship with food (not sure how eating only potatoes helps with that plan) and he isn't doing it to promote anything. Whether he decides on boiled,baked or mashed he never uses oil to prepare them,only a splash of plant based milk and seasonings. I'm a big time potato lover but there is no way I would consider eating just potatoes for a year,or for that matter any plan that allowed only one food is out of my comfort zone!
