Hi! Welcome to my Healthy Hunnies family.

The Potato Diet for Weight Loss: A basic overview, my experience, pros and cons, and whether or not I recommend it as a nutritionist. If you're looking to lose weight, the whole food plant-based diet is your best approach. But should you ONLY eat potatoes for a cleanse, reset, or for fast weight loss?

Dear Emmine ...you speak like a grandmother, wise and full of love. You say sensible things! Which have been put aside for some time because we are bombarded with diets. A grandmother offers you food when you are hungry. Simple. She doesn't send you to bed hungry, she doesn't tell you to drink water. I foud you May 3rd, for 2 days I listened to you videos, and then started . Since than I have a full plate, just like in my childhood when my grandmother fed me... and I'm losing weight. And I eat potatoes and bread. Without oil. I didn't have any oil in my childhood. Poverty. But as you say.. too many options harm your health. LOVE YOU! AND THAN 🥰😇😍🤩😍🥰

I have found that potatoes themselves satisfy hunger so well that I don’t get hungry or have a desire to stuff myself. They are very satisfying.

Organic yukon golds from Costco. I do use quite a bit of salt plus 300 cals of flaxseed fat per day. But no fruit, nuts, or grains as i don’t digest them well. Im 53, lift weights, just started menopause and maintaining at 117-122lb 5’5” I didnt think this vegan plan was going to go well but so far its helping heal my intestinal illness. I Did raw smoothies&salads no fruit for a month then started adding potatoes, steamed broc/cauliflower as i needed more cals to lift weights. Potatoes work great. Im still reacting to sweet potatoes so i stick to yukons or peeled russets. So much prep but im learning efficiency!

Regular but the Hawaiian Purple Sweet Potatoes that you recommend are amazing. Just ordered my first box and they really are so good.

Omg! Can you talk more about doing this for an ENTIRE MONTH!!?? What (if any) side effects could you tell? How did you feel? And how did you add in foods? I did this for 2 weeks and lost over 20 pounds. I also remember losing hair...did this happen to you? What I wanted to do was change my lifestyle and eat whole plant-based foods. Sounded great, but the follow through was not there. So, I am going to do this again (potato diet for 2 weeks to 30 days) but my end goal, is to incorporate whole plant foods. I am changing my LIFE! Not going on a diet! And wow! I just found your channel and I cannot wait to check out your videos of foods and meals of whole healthy foods!! Thank you so much for sharing!

I like both sweet potatoes and regular potatoes (the small yellow ones).

I so far lost 10 (metric) pounds in 3 months on the potato diet. I lapsed a few times but I don’t mind that it’s not going rapidly. I’m😢a vegan and I’m 63. I want to lose another 10 pounds by end of the year. I’m not stressing. 😉 My favourite potatoes are the waxy baby potatoes. I boil a whole kilo and let them cool and then put them in the fridge overnight. I eat them next day. ❤

Before agriculture, man lived on tubers ( potatoes, onions, garlic...) berries and occasionally protein ( hunting, insects, some veggies like sweet peas ). I add mustard for the tumeric.

I'm Nutritarian, so I try to eat sweet potatoes because of the nutrient density.

Regular potatoes. I like to squeeze lemon on them. If I’m hungry while out running errands, I get 1-2 plain potatoes from Wendy’s. I ask for a container of lemon wedges. They usually come with salt and pepper packets. At home, sometimes I put mustard on my potato. A special item istomsdd relish with the mustard.

russet potatoes all the way! I like some good sweet potato "fries" once in a while, but mostly regular potatoes combined with some veg.

[lynnettemurphy]

Cant beat Irish potatoes. Kerrs Pink's, Golden Wonders, Roosters. These are my top 3.

[sandyjessee]

Gold or yellow potatoes!🥔
But I had never tried a sweet potato, before doing SOS!
They are so delicious with fresh salsa, some cilantro and
Plantiful Kiki’s homemade ranch dressing is delicious!!!
There is another pro that you left out!😊 You forgot to tell them that their energy level will go through the roof! Inflammation goes down in record time just by eating SOS!!! I think it’s the no sugar that really helps us improve our lifestyle..
Thank you Emmi!

I've only eaten normal and red skinned (pontiac) potatoes. Never tried sweet potatoes but would definitely try eating them.

Thanks so much for sharing hun. I’m loving ❤your videos. I’m not good on short term diets. Xxx

[dianasalter]

I love potatoes. But my attempt doing the potato diet for 10 days came to an abrupt end. After five days the thought of just eating another plain potato made me gag. Too much of a good thing is not a good thing.

[ladyfae]

Japanese sweet potatoes are my favorite or hanna Yams

I need to know how you get those gorgeous waves in your hair lol! What hair tool do you use? ❤

[tinyapple]

Hi, i can't find the rules of the potato cleanse. Can you eat peas and nutritional yeast?
