Day 3 of the Nightshade Only Diet has commenced.
Full write up tomorrow.
Full write up tomorrow.
200 lbs here you comeI had one plate of baked potatoes (in french fry format, with some spices) -- probably totaled like 2 or 3 medium sized potatoes -- and I ate that for dinner. That's all I've eaten all day. I just drank a glass of water. Now I'm seriously not even hungry. How is this even possible?
Day 3 is in the books.
Not following your reasoning. Can you explain?Because you are eating stuff that's quite literally off the charts on the glycemic index, and nothing else.
If I get to hear stories about Helen von Potatoes and her window-rattling, latka-winning farts, I'm all for it.Is SWC starting to morph into Studs & Duds?
Not pooping for 48 hours cannot be good. Have you consulted with your doctor Otis? We can't afford to lose good men daggummit.I'm having a similar experience. Very little/limited poop in the past couple of days. It's like my system is just about cleared of all the garbage that had accumulated. Sounds like I need to drink a lot more water than I am.
Weren't you just upstairs smoking a joint?In all seriousness, I really don't understand why just eating smart is so hard for most of you? I mean, I get it, it's difficult to make the initial changes, but once you do, your body will thank you. If you can seriously just eat potatoes and have the willpower to stick with it, you can prob adjust your diet instead.
The real problem with a fad diet is keeping the weight off. If you don't learn how to eat properly, you'll just revert to old habits once off the diet (regardless of how successful it was) and regain the weight.
If you just simply make smart changes, you don't have to change anything after you reach your target and develop new healthier habits.
Unless of course your intentions are eating only potatoes forever.
Hence the 4 M&M's and 3 gummy bears. It was 3 pulls from a batty BTW, prob a little less harmful than a 12 ounce Amstel Light.Weren't you just upstairs smoking a joint?
This is the big takeaway from this.I had two medium potatoes for dinner and feel like I just went to a fancy steakhouse, had apps, soup, salad. 14oz ribeye and some side dishes. I'm stuffed
Really makes you think about the volume of food you can typically eat. I think I'm going to incorporate potatoes in virtually all meals going forward just as filler, so I eat less "stuff" that's unnecessary
Potato BombThink I'm going to do some grilling this weekend. What's the best way to barbecue some potatoes?
Eat right and do some exercise?In all seriousness, I really don't understand why just eating smart is so hard for most of you?

Post as much detail as you can about what/amounts you eat, when adding stuff in, please. And how you feel. Interested to hear what works for others.Having said that.. I want to go harder on the workouts.
After going to the gym at lunch yesterday I went for another run with the dog in the evening. I crashed hard.. nausea/etc.
Think I am going to bring in a meal a day.
4 peanut M&M's & 3 red gummy bears
Yeah, guy.is there any way to juice a potatoe or what bromigos take that to the bank
Tomorrow is FRIDAY!Woke up feeling kind of groggy today, slight headache. And yet, still not all that hungry. The amount of food I've gotten by on this week is amazing to me. I'm probably eating way too little, but my body just isn't calling for it, so I'm following along. I do have some concerns about losing muscle mass, and want to pick up with some more push ups and resistance band work than I've been doing.
Remembered to bring my potatoes today. Brought 1.5 boiled red potatoes. Should be enough to get me through the day without issue.
By the way, through all this, due to my wife being pregnant and us making half decaf in the morning, and then me slowly drinking less and less, I'm almost completed weaned off of caffeine. In the past I would really struggle nasty withdrawal symptoms without it. I'm almost kind of over coffee.
So in the past couple of weeks I've killed off addictions to booze, food, and caffeine. And I haven't gambled in months. I'm all out of vices. I'm basically Amish.
Very true. And I'm having my cheat dinner out at a steakhouse. A couple drinks, piece of meat, some greens. Probably skip on the potatoes.Tomorrow is FRIDAY!
no way brohan when the guy says what to you want you say i will have the steak and when he says how do you want it done say can you replace it with a potatoe and when they say what do you want for a side say potatoe and when they say what kind of soup ask for it to be replaced with a potatoe but do it all totally serious so the waiter dude is like what the f and you will blow his mind up and also keep on losing weight win win as far as i am concerned take that to the bankVery true.

Yeesh, why bother waking up in the morning.Woke up feeling kind of groggy today, slight headache. And yet, still not all that hungry. The amount of food I've gotten by on this week is amazing to me.

Not sure what's controversial here. Spuds are basically 100 on the Glycemic Index. In fact, I think at one time the GI was set from 0 to 100 but they had to go back and later make russets like 105 even higher than sugar before finally recalibrating it.Not following your reasoning. Can you explain?
I am usually the #1 advocate of eating healthy balanced meals and exercizing a few times a week to maintain a decent weight, so I agree with you. I am doing for three days for a few reasons.In all seriousness, I really don't understand why just eating smart is so hard for most of you?

People need to stop weighing themselves every day. This kind of real ("fat" + "muscle") weight loss in a few days is impossible. If your diet results (after a few weeks) with looser clothes, then you can bet you're losing actual "fat".Do you burned an extra 23,100 calories by eating just potatoes for 2 days?
No ####. I qualified the loss several times in that post, but it's still greater than it would have been on a normal diet. Also, calorie deficit numbers are nowhere near as black and white as they're generally presented, the body is a much more complex system than that.People need to stop weighing themselves every day.

It's something that's worth doing for about 3-4 weeks, cycling off it, and coming back to as needed.Culdeus, are you pro or con on this diet?
Some concerns, huh.Woke up feeling kind of groggy today, slight headache. And yet, still not all that hungry. The amount of food I've gotten by on this week is amazing to me.

http://vegetablepharm.blogspot.ca/p/the-potato-diet_14.htmlCould someone provide the basic rules of this. I'm trying to talk the GF into doing this starting saturday for a week just to see how it goes.
You eat potatoes. If it's not a potato, you don't eat it.Could someone provide the basic rules of this. I'm trying to talk the GF into doing this starting saturday for a week just to see how it goes.
Um, yes they are. It's been proven over and over that you can eat a caloric deficit of potatoes or twinkies and still lose fat/muscle.No ####. I qualified the loss several times in that post, but it's still greater than it would have been on a normal diet. Also, calorie deficit numbers are nowhere near as black and white as they're generally presented, the body is a much more complex system than that.
