> It sounds like a dumb gimmick that could never work, but there are a surprising number of people out there saying that they tried it, it worked for them, and they kept the weight off for months or even years after.

Losing weight isn't causal to being healthy. In most cases it correlates because gaining weight is usually done through eating unhealthy (excess calories, refined sugars, etc.) so going on a healthy diet means losing weight gained from unhealthy diet.

Also, there are unhealthy diets on which you can lose weight but the effects on your hormones might be even worse than an unhealthy diet that causes you to gain weight.

i consider myself a potato connoisseur. i have been eating and loving potatoes ever since i can remember and even before as far as my family can tell me.

"don't you get bored from eating potatoes"? i am asked on a regular basis. my answer is a standard "potatoes are life, potatoes are my comfort food. now get off my lawn"

edit: i am willing to do an all potato diet but its not like i hate anything else, i just cant hate potatoes.

I don't doubt this works, but I'd rather do e.g. keto where I can eat delicious meals and still feel fully satiated.

Good for you! Keto doesn't work like that for me. We need many different diets that work for some people, because no diet works for everyone.
