Man eats nothing but Potatoes for 1 year..looses 50KG (110lb)

[Aggrophobic]

How about some exercise and a well balanced diet instead?

This potato stuff is just silly.

[the game]

Isn't that like the national food in Ireland and russia?

I mean there is 0 sugar in a white potato

There is sugar in sweet potatoes

Starch is made up of glucose.

While say pasta is not sweet the starch in it will get turned into Glucose either way.

Glucose isnt bad, fructose is what fucks you.

I'd be more impressed if he ate his diet while isolated on Mars.

well played sir

That's what I've been saying all along. Raw those portions equal out to 2500-3300 (assuming 84kcal per 100g of raw potato, which seems to be the consensus figure I could find). Not even taking into account ways of cooking, it's simply hard to believe he lost 1kg/week with that amount of intake, unless this man is like 7ft tall.

Could have active lifestyle. I can maintain my own weight at 3500 ish calories a day at 70kg.

Wrong, since carbs from potatoes trigger your body to store calories as fat. Carbs are the ultimate 'save for later' food.

No it doesn't. If you are getting less calories from carbs than what you consume it's not stored as fat but used as energy to fuel your body. Carbs don't instantly "store up as fat" as you claim but your body first breaks it down to glucose and stores it as glycogen. Only then if there's excess glycogen the rest is converted to fat. The carbs are the ultimate use for energy as fast as possible food. They even break down faster than protein (or fat for that matter).

He looks slimmer but somehow unhealthier too.

It's the excess skin. He should have been weight lifting while he lost weight.

Eh? Isn't Fructose the good carb, since it's in fruits and stuff?

No, fructose can only be processed by your liver, glucose can be directly used by nearly every cell in your body. Fat is made from sugar thats stored by the liver, fructose is what stops hearts. Fruits usually arent an issue because they have high doses of fiber

Unless he's eating sweet potatoes and not potatoes as he claimed, or he's lying and also eating supplements, he's bound to have vision issues from lack of vitamin A.

Oh, I don't even want to go into B12. He might last a few years, but once your liver uses up all the reserves, good luck dealing with the neurological ailments.
