Fox News reports that the man lost 100 pounds, stopped using antidepressants, and pushed his cholesterol levels down. His name is Andrew Taylor and he is from Melbourne, Australia.

He said that you can’t quit food but he wanted to get closer to that goal. Potatoes came up and he said that you can get lots of nutrients from it. Carbs, protein, fat and even fiber can be found in the spud.

NZ Herald says that at first, it was criticized because a lot of people thought that this was an extreme diet. Others told him that it was an unhealthy approach to dieting, and some actually thought that he wouldn’t last an entire year.

A year has passed and Andrew proved that you can survive with potatoes. He also admitted that he had an addiction to food. He struggled with it and he ends up drinking soda, eating deep-fried food, ice cream, cake, and chocolate.

Stuff.co NZ says that he’s about to end this program. Taylor would let himself eat food other than potatoes at the end of the year. He says he would be just satisfied to keep eating potatoes.

Experts disagree with this though. They say that there can be serious effects to his body if he doesn’t end the cycle. Nutritionists interviewed by Stuff say that others shouldn’t dare try it.

Apparently, only eating potatoes hadn’t damaged his social life either, because he can easily take potatoes wherever he goes. In his first video, Taylor was carrying 6kg of potato in his backpack. Each day, Taylor said he would eat about 3kg of potato. Read more…

While this kind of diet worked for him, it’s not a guarantee that it’s going to work on others. After all, every diet should be well-balanced and designed to suit your body’s needs.
