I Ate Nothing but Potatoes for Two Weeks
I have talked about my problems with binge eating before and the fact that I shove junk after junk in my mouth. It was getting me down, and making me heavier, which is not something I wanted to happen. I know the wife liked to mutter, could be that midlife spread, but nope. Not happening. There is no way I am going to be one of these guys with the potbelly looking about ready to drop a ten-pound baby.
I read a lot of nutritional books on diet, health and things like that.
• This year’s list has included
• Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman
• The Starch Solution by John McDougall
• I Quit Sugar by Sarah Wilson
• Brain over Binge by Kathryn Hansen
• How Not to Die by Dr Michael Gregor
• The Potato Hack by Tim Steele
It’s safe to say I have ingested many people’s philosophies about food and nutrition. But I am writing today specifically about the Potato Hack. I first heard about this when I was watching a YouTube video about Kevin Smith and how he lost over 50 pounds, just eating potatoes. He had heard about the hack from the magician, Penn Jillette who lost over one hundred pounds doing the same thing.
