Reply With QuoteI love potatoes. I could probably eat them everyday without a problem...but certainly not 20 of 'em. At least I hope that I couldn't eat 20 potatoes in a day.

It could become a trendy new spiritual discipline, The Potato Fast, distinguishable from the Potato Famine by the other activities of practitioners.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Well don't forget that the potato famine happened because people were eating pretty much nothing but potatoes until the blight hit...

Yeah, this is the part I can't wrap my head around.. I would imagine that even for a normal person this would be a stress on their system... I couldn't (successfully) consume that much carbs in a day, even if I tried. Originally Posted by Catrin

re: shopping video
Certainly not the next food network star, and miles away from the take-home chef.
20 potatoes just seems like a lot for one day.Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Which just goes to show you what's wrong with a low-fat diet, since he'll be getting enough protein (enough complete protein for an adult, though not for a young child). Originally Posted by Catrin

That's sort of an illustration of how traditional food pairings make foods nutritionally complete. Topping a potato with a bit of GRASS-FED dairy product would give vitamins A, B12 and healthy fats, and make the protein even better.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

The guy is regretting his decision to go for 60 days.
Boy. There's a surprise.
"The Washington state man who's on a 60-day all-potato diet wishes he had set a goal of one month instead of two. Chris Voigt told the Tri-City Herald that — as good and healthy as potatoes are — there's only so many ways they can be prepared. And, about halfway through his tuber diet, which began Oct. 1, he's had them boiled, baked, steamed, grilled, fried, marinated and mashed."2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

I'm waiting for someone in the corn industry to try and best him.

Just about everything most people eat is made from corn, anyway.
