Sorry to tag you guys but running into a buddy who's freaking out saying i'm going to give myself diabetes via rapid hormonal changes, or damage beta cell receptors by trying this tater diet.
I tried searching this thread for diabetes (no direct hits) and insulin (too many direct hits) so I figures I'd ask you guys for your thoughts on the front end. He's a fairly knowledgeable fella but I'd love it if one or both of you would be willing to spit a little science on the topic? Or perhaps link to a post you recall making on the topic already?
Thanks in advance fellas. Doing some googling in the meantime.
I think in the current Otis thread there is a lot more information on this. I think Maurile had a lot of good links, I can barely remember this thread but I'd like to know first how he thinks beta cells are damaged (what mechanism) and what hormones you mess up (be specific).@culdeus @Maurile Tremblay

I'm more inclined to think the potato diet works mostly by simply keeping you mostly full, keeping glycogen always at 100%, and thus sort of holding off hunger to a TDEE that is more in line with your baseline metabolism thus kicking off a big calorie deficit. It's not rocket surgery.
I've never been an insulin theory guy, so I'll have any number of things to cherry pick to refute whatever he has I just need to know what's his angle or what his main sources are.
