    I didn't know this was a thing. I've done that before by accident just cause I like potatoes and they're cheap. I don't like salt, butter etc so yeah, plain potatoes are my thing. Had one for lunch yesterday and might have some tomorrow. Today is a fast day though so only water and apple juice for now lol

    PLAIN POTATOES YUM! This sounds like something they would have done to prisoners to get a confession out of them back in the 1600's. I suspect it's a gateway diet to full blown anorexia.

    No offense to OP though. I'm as curious to know as anyone else if someone has actually legitimately attempted this for more than 5 days. I eat plain sweet potatoes though! Those are the jam as nature made them...well, baked...as nature should have made them.

    Targeting desperate, overweight people seems to guarantee a pot of gold on the other end of a good marketers rainbow!

    It truly saddens me that people give this buffoon their $$

    I am currently boiling my potatoes for supper. I will of course be adding milk and butter to mash them. I am also cooking some rice to make rice pudding for dessert. I feel like I may not be doing the potato diet right, though.

    No,no don't feel bad! I kinda agree with you.

    I got sucked in to quite a few dieting supplements /foods. I learned in my own good time, just like everyone *hopefully does.

    Joking has its place but I also got sucked in to several scam/fad diets & supplements, which only caused me to pack on 10lbs more every time I did one. Ugg I feel dumb sometimes:).

    Important thing is, I got it now.

    Someday soon, the term "couch potato" will take on a whole new meaning. :D

    Just the concept....I can't imagine eating that many plain potatoes. I prefer mine mashed with gravy, in French Fry form, or loaded with deliciousness.

    It's an older thread, but maybe this will help you feel better about all those experiments:

    Silly fad, arbitrary choice of food resulting in weight loss from a calorie deficit.
