I wouldn't read too much into the title, the closing parts of the article give a much more balanced take on the whole issue. This study disagrees with some previous work and it's unclear which result makes sense and why. As usual, more research is needed, and while a catchy title is nice, this isn't anything to change your dietary habits by,

- matthewdgreen 2y agoYou may joke, but these folks have been promoting/investigating an all-potato diet, and have determine that maybe potassium is what's causing weight loss. https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2024/03/20/second-potato-riffs-report/ https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2024/03/20/second-potato-riffs...
- Etheryte 2y agoOn one hand, if I squint hard enough, I can almost see it, but not exactly for the reasons they propose. Potatoes are infamous for having an extremely high satiety index, that is, you feel very full after eating them. If that holds, it would be easy to see how it could lead to weight loss, since you would feel full earlier and thus eat less. All that aside, almost all of the results they show are deep within statistical error bounds. My weight easily varies 5lbs (2kg) within a week, saying you lost that amount after a month of diet doesn't really say much to me. I could weigh myself a week from now and say I lost that, then one week on and say I regained it.
