First thing that came on my mind was The Martian book/movie and How the guy was eating only potatoes.
I need that diet now.
I need that diet now.
6'1.5" 250#.
Lost 17# in 2 weeks. Lost 35# in 2 months.
Stayed off as long as I was eating vegan, high-potato diet.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to stick with it for other reasons and I've since regained the weight. I need to cook for people for whom it's not a reasonable diet and enjoy eating meat too much.
The conceptual model here intrigues me. I'm pondering maxing potatoes but also eating whatever else I want and see if it helps.
(My coworkers literally called it the martian diet. It was funny. I would come to meetings at work eating a baked potato like an apple.)
