If I remember correctly you were allowed potatoes with no seasoning. So no butter, salt, pepper etc. The point was for it to basically be boring so that when you eventually have a bit of lettuce or a tomato you can’t help but love it. You no longer need sugar etc to really trigger your senses.
- ragazzina 3y agoThe link says: - Seasonings are ok. Do what you can to keep yourself from getting bored. - Oil is ok. Which sounds really strange - I can easily eat a pound of potatoes mashed with a fork with olive oil and salt for example, maybe more.
- basisword 3y agoInteresting (as you can tell I didn't read the article). I think the 'originator' of this diet was Penn Jilette (I listened to his podcast at the time), and when he did it I'm certain it was potatoes and nothing else.
- bscphil 3y ago> I can easily eat a pound of potatoes mashed with a fork with olive oil and salt for example 1 pound of white potatoes + 2 Tbsp olive oil is only about 550 calories, and about half that is the olive oil. You've got a long way to go for the day if you're not on a starvation diet.
