Here are the Potato Hack guidelines:
The rules for this potato diet are simple. If you are eating something that is not a potato, you are doing it wrong.
- Plan on eating just potatoes for 3 to 5 days
- Eat 2-5 pounds of potatoes each day
- No other foods allowed (this includes butter, sour cream, cheese, and bacon bits!)
- Salt, pepper, and vinegar allowed, but not encouraged
- Drink when thirsty; coffee, tea, and water only
- Heavy exercise is discouraged, light exercise and walking are encouraged
- Take your normal medications, but dietary supplements will not be needed
Expected results from 3-5 days of the Potato Hack:
- Fat loss of 3-5 pounds
- Reduction in inflammation, joint pain
- Reduction in digestive complaints
- Increased insulin sensitivity, lower fasting blood glucose levels
- Restoration of healthy intestinal bacteria
- Continued weight loss upon resumption of normal diet
Many people report that, for the first time in a long time, they are not hungry despite eating such a bland diet of restricted calories. People report better sleep and habitual snorers stop snoring. Those that have watched an un-budging scale for months or years report daily losses of ½ -1 pound, and the weight does not come back on, as in other “crash” diets.
