I heard that the Irish commoners did before the Potatoe famine, and they tended to be healthier than continental commoners who ate bread.
Any how, can you live off potatoes for real? I'm looking for the uber efficient diet.
Your looking for an uber efficient diet...by only eating potatoes?
?!?
Yeah there's a ton of nutrition problems with a potato only diet.
Well, I found out that Wiki says you can subsist off potatoes and milk 
.
but you'll be lacking stuff. Didn't you learn in school this 'pyramid' thing and about the food.
There's also this tv-diet show where they tried what models do, 'apple-diet', eatin only apples, but the person really got enough of eating apples only and she didn't get any thinner at all.
just don't do diets, Eat less bad stuff (snicker bars, coke...) Eat less (just at lunch one plate, and dinner one sandwich and drink water whenever hungry during rest of the day) And do some jogging/rope skipping, walk from home to the next city, some swimming etc
And in a month perhaps you'll see some changes. Dunno, depends ofc, I'm no specialist. but if you haven't tried that it might work.
It depends WHY you are dieting.
Also it'd be weird me giving you dieting advice, Justinian. I can though
if you want me to...
Edn, you forgot breakfast!
don't skip breakfast
You should eat a large breakfast, medium sized lunch, and a smaller dinner...
Po-ta-toes!!! :d
I always skip breakfast, and I'm rather thin. I don't eat breakfast, eat A good healthy lunch (no fast food/spaghetis pizzas etc) and dinner I eat one sandwich with cheese and one with choco. And at midnight and rest throughout the day I eat whatever I can find of cookies/pepsi cans etc.(we never have much of that at home though, so I end up running up and down the stairs 50 times just to grab but one) I also eat real fast (lunch in five minutes)
How old are you ~E
19
Skipping breakfast wont put the pounds on...its just that if you consume most
of your calories at night you will have nothing to do to burn them off.
X( get a GF, then you can burn calories at night!
lol
potatoes are very energy rich, just because some dudes were forced to live off of them in the past and succeeded doesn't mean it's the best/most efficient diet nowadays
simple things are rarely the most efficient, otherwise we'd all be communist
imo
your diet isnt the main factor in losing weight.. its exercise
i must eat around 3000-4000 calories per day.. but i exercise a hell of a lot and i only weight 10st 8.. i am 17 yrs old btw..
but there is an arguement its becauce i have a fast metabolism.. and also that i dont usualy eat after 9.. so i guess i work my excess food off 
I'm not looking to lose weight, lol.
I'm looking for a cheap and healthy diet.
I'm also a big snacker. I eat 5+ small meals a day. Screw the traditional breakfast, lunch, and dinner routine.
you can hide your craving to lose weight as much as you want but we can see through your mask
I look for cheap things to, hence why I buy the 40cent pepsi cans, drink tap water, and for lunch I go to the butcher and buy my mashed potatoes, carrot-potatoes or spinach poetatoes there aswell which in total can get a minimum of 3,40euros which is like similar to the student restaurant prices where I go when I have class in their area. Bread is a bit expensive though 
but at beginofweek I take some from home. but I wouldn't be able to eat just potatoes btw, just try it and you'd prolly die that way.
Or you'll kill yourself because you've committed to a potato-only diet and you've slowly begun to hate potatoes...
lol humi, who are you trying to impress now ;p?
lol humi and nemi
I'm 20, 6'2", 12.8st, 8% body fat. Unless you're eating mcd's all day, 4k calories is insane for a 17yo. I struggle to maintain 3k, and I'm a big eater . And that eating past ~20h00 thing is an urban myth...it's perfectly fine to do so. Oh, I need a big breakfast, or I'm a zombie all day X(
My breakfast:
- 5 egg whites & 2 egg yokes scrambled on 4 slices of brown toast
- 250g of natural low fat yogurt with a fruit of sorts
- 2 coffees
- 250ml glass of whole milk
- an a-z vitamin tablet
Sometimes I have a bowl of bran flakes instead of the yogurt and glass of milk. If I don't, I will have a bowl around 23h00.
People do the most retarded things to "lose" "maintain" weight ... i've had plenty of nutrition classes, if you want to know how to eat "healthy" none of this skipping breakfast, and eating complete nothing for lunch and dinner ... just talk to me
Also no you can't live just off potatoes, you'd become anemic, lose your eye sight, acquire scurvy, among other things

Also i find it amazing that people 17-24 are actually counting their calories, ml, grams and all that ... enjoy life man those are your best days, your metabolism is extra high so it wouldn't matter much of what you ate aslong as u weren't an idiot about things. You all sound like abunch of old women to me
