FWIW I did the potato diet in 2018 (Penn Jillette's book). 6'1.5" 250#. Lost 17# in 2 weeks. Lost 35# in 2 months. Stayed off as long as I was eating vegan, high-potato diet. Unfortunately I wasn't able to stick with it for other reasons and I've since regained the weight. I need to cook for people for whom it's not a reasonable diet and enjoy eating meat too much. The conceptual model here intrigues me. I'm pondering maxing potatoes but also eating whatever else I want and see if it helps. (My coworkers literally called it the martian diet. It was funny. I would come to meetings at work eating a baked potato like an apple.)
