Back in January, Australian man Andrew Taylor vowed that he would eat nothing but potatoes for an entire year. Turns out, it may have been the best decision he ever made. Taylor recently told the Australian that since going on his all-potato diet, he’s lost 11 pounds, slept better, and felt better than he has in years. An admitted food addict, Taylor’s diet was a steady stream of ice cream, cake, pizza, and other junk food, and he wasn’t sure how to stop. For his diet, Taylor ate almost nine pounds of potatoes a day, in every possible format: baked, mashed, boiled, and pancaked. If he got invited out to friends’ houses or restaurants, he either brought his own potatoes or called ahead and had them specially prepared. Weird diet or not, you have to applaud him for being considerate.
