I‘ve been somewhat remiss in posting, in general, and specifically with respect to my results.  So, without further suspense, here is a summary of what I’ve found to date. Just to recap the basic approach, I monitored my weight for about 10 days prior to engaging on dietary modifications to establish a baseline weight.  Subsequently, I consumed variants...

made with ChartBoot   After what looks like a two day adjustment period during which my weight dropped about 1 lb.,  by the morning of the third day, any weight loss exprienced has been erased and we see a subsequent gain in weight, possibly due to water retention as well as digestive tract contents?  The morning after not having eaten potatoes, we see...

After one week, more or less, on the potato diet, I am left unimpressed.  Yesterday, me and my wife went for Sunday brunch with friends.  This, of course, necessitated a break in the potato fast, since it was well nigh impossible to eat only aloo ( potato ) at the Indian restaurant we frequented, and this is the reason for the “more or less”...

Do not be alarmed, I am still working on the best way to display the data that I am collecting, so, the graphs here are probably not going to be the final incarnation of the presentation.

I may have been a bit hasty in touting the magical satiating effects of potatoes in my last post.  It turns out that by meal time this evening, I was pretty darn hungry, I might even go so far as to drop the “r” bomb ( ravenous ).  Despite that, even while I was preparing my potato frittata, I didn’t feel like taking a big bite out of a raw...

There may be something to the satiety aspect of potatoes after all ( or maybe all fibrous vegetables behave this way … I’ll have to explore that further after this project ).  Normally, when not eating this way, when I prepare my daily meal in the evening, I am ravenous.  But yesterday evening, while preparing the latkes, not at all.  Keep in mind that...

So far, so good. Overnight I did experience a slight bit of intestinal discomfort, something that if I were five years old I would describe as a bit of a tummy ache.  It didn’t last very long, but it was uncharacteristic for me.  Something to potentially keep an eye on. I woke up this morning with absolutely zero appetite.  I might even be so bold as to...
