I don't think OP liked any of the comments...2

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 lol0

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.3
-
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.2

Yeah, see, all these people saying they couldn't do it for that long? I totally could. I could salt them, right?
As long as I had salt, I don't mind them boiled. I love cold boiled potatoes. I love cold baked potatoes. I love hot boiled potatoes. I love hot baked potatoes.

Ok when you say it like that I feel like a heel for my joke!
I do love my potato though!0 -
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.3

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.1 -

Someday soon, the term "couch potato" will take on a whole new meaning.4 -
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.0

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.1

OP - I hope you were joking, but if not, Here's an alternative.....
Punch your stats into MFP and. Do exactly what it says for 30 days with a variety of foods you like. It's magic.7
