I've skimmed through "the Potato Hack"-book and read some blogs and youtube-videos about the "only potato diet". It seems really stupid at first glance but the more I read the more sense it made. I'm used to read with a critical eye and I am very skeptical when it comes to "fake news" and sensationalism.
The potato hack seems to me to be more of a oil change for your body than a "diet". Just eat potatoes for 2-3 days a week, as much as you want without anything else except salt and your gut and tastebuds will "reset". Not sure about the tastebuds thing but it makes total sense to eat a lot of high fiber and starch from an organic food to take care of your gut.
With my depression, "light IBS", obesity and stress it looks very promising.
I still have a lot of other perishable food at home I need to eat up before doing the 100% potatoes for 3 days but I've started eating a lot of boiled potatoes to every meal for the last three days and going to "hack" at the start of next week.
My "go-to"-recipie right now is:
3-400g boiled potatoes (that's under 300kcal)
1 red onion
shredded cabbage
50g creme frachie (thats about 150kcal)
avocado
fresh parsley
salt+pepper
"Meat"
I just boil the potatoes, poor out the water, throw in the other things, stir, put back the lid and wait a few minutes. Then eat it with some ham, chicken or whatever is left in the fridge.
My brother in law has a birthday party at the beginning of next month and the way I feel right now is that I rather wear my W40-jeans to that party then shave a couple of minutes off from my 100 swings.
Going full vegan and only eating potatoes for three days won't be the stupidest thing i've done to my body.
Time for an oil change. (not my car!)
