I think there might be other things going on with the potato diet. In Slime Mold Time Mold's study participants seemed to lose more weight when cooking potatoes with the skin on. My wife and I recently tried three diet for about a week with good weightloss. However, my wife who prefers potatoes cooked with skin quickly got abdominal pain and dropped the diet. When I started to eat all the potatoes I had cooked for her, I got similar issues. I think there is a good chance that the solanine which is mostly in the skins messes with people's digestive system and contributing to weightloss. Poisoning yourself doesn't strike me as a valid approach to weightloss. Supposedly someone tried supplementing solanine and didn't see the weightloss. I don't trust that though, since there was a more comprehensive trial or a believable alternative explanation
