Man eats nothing but potatoes for a year
New York Post By Olivia Lambert,December 14, 2016
This year, Andrew Taylor ate nothing but potatoes.
It was an extreme diet that at first was criticized. Some said it was an unhealthy approach to weight loss; others believed there was no way he’d last 12 months. But almost one year later, the Australian has proved you can survive on nothing but potatoes.
He vowed on Jan. 1 he would touch nothing but the starchy vegetable, and Taylor has lost more than 100 pounds and says he is a completely changed man.
“I was clinically depressed last year and eating potatoes has really helped me with that,” he told news.com.au.
“I am not taking any antidepressants and I feel like I’m completely over that and I’m sleeping better, too.
“Over the past 10 years, I’ve had joint pain from football injuries, but that’s gone away. Eating only potatoes has improved my life in more ways than I could ever imagine.”
Taylor, a Melbourne resident, confessed at the beginning of the year he had an addiction to food.
