16:06 "get the behaviors right, let the results take care of themselves".............. awesome.
this is what it's all about :-)
I can tell you are a man who really knows what he's talking about due to experience. I also bet it's a lot less wear & tear on the kitchen. Less stuff to clean, store and $$ savings. Great accomplishment.
You are correct
"Make your food boring and life interesting!" It is sad for many of us how we have let our lives be run by the obsessions of food! Instead of eating healthy food to nourish our bodies, we have turned to unhealthy food to nourish our souls. Great lesson :~)
and in realtiy we're just fooling ourselves because the unhealthy food actually does the opposite of nourish our souls.
Amen!
So true.
You have a good point Mindy but the problem isn't food. The problem is almost 90% of people in this country do not drink water. Soft drinks are what's killing people and giving them disease not food. This is because every organ in your body relies on water for it's many functions without it we get sick. Most food has a lot of good things we need. Fatty food can cause weight gain but it doesn't cause diseases. Our blood is 95% water with a little salt added in. When you aren't drinking enough water the your blood eventually starts turning acidic, as with any acid once it reaches your DNA that's when health problems begin. Water is also the only thing that flushes out all of the harmful toxins, and sugars out of your body when you urinate. 95% of all diseases not related to physical injury are caused by chronic dehydration not drinking water.
Lee , so are you saying you believe that diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc. Are simply manifestations of dehydration?
When people ask how you got your fat and protein, tell them off that belly you used to have , tell them my body stored it up, all I needed for me and then some , I just used it up. Well done sir
This is one of my favorite videos. I'm going to remember this quote forever, "MODERATION leads to MEDIOCRITY"! You are right, moderation is the biggest lie out there...
it's a dangerous belief I think!
So true! I hate that phrase, "everything in moderation."
it's actually "everything in moderation, including moderation".
What would be some healthy toppings to add to my potatoes.
It’s basically the Big Food industries cop out to blame their victims for being over weight than taking any blame on themselves. They would want us to think were all just lazy and need to exercise more, moderation, portion size, while they rake in the money by the billions.
I came from video one to this. What an amazing transformation of energy and happiness You have been unleashed! Brought a tear to my manly eyes. Please keep us updated with your diet in 2017
Thanks mate! I cried looking back at the first video too :-)
Me too , it worked wow, you look good job spud.
Hi I saw lot of spike on potatoes and sweet potatoes everyday in the morning . Question is it rt way to go
I have been totally AMAZED at how taking all processed foods out of my diet has affected my body. Being SOS free has blown my mind!!!
Incredible, well done!
SOS?
@@ALCRAN2010 No Salt Oil or Sugar. SOS
All his sauces have SOS in them.
Thank you for this video. A lot of important thoughts here. For me the most important thing you said was to "get actions right let results take care of themselves."
Lady at Large that's the core of it.
Wow, 11 months gone, into the home stretch! I think you've proven the worth of potatoes and McDougall should hire you as his poster boy!
I love all the points you made, especially about how fake food hijacks our natural instincts. After all the self hatred and blame people suffer for not being able to control their weight, I think it's vital to get the message out that it's not character weakness or lack of "willpower" that's to blame, it's the intent of the companies that manufacture what we eat to keep us reliant on them for their profit. Retraining your taste-buds is critical, after that it's a comparative breeze as long as you accept that healthy lifestyle boundaries are actually liberating, not restrictive. What you've done more than proves that! Congrats and thanks for your inspiration!
Char Covelesky thanks so much! Happy to be a poster boy ;-)
Thanks again for the words of wisdom, Andrew. I bet it still blows your mind how far you've come this year :)
absolutely mind blowing! :-)
I really like:
Moderation is a myth
Potatoes first
Many others are good, but these 2 help me the most.
those are probably my favourite too :-)
I have typed up your 11 points and am going to post it on my fridge as a reminder! Luckily I have always loved spuds! My favourite tip is to eat spuds before the chocolate cake. My sweet tooth is terrible, and I have such a hard time resisting tempting food when it's around. I don't have sweets at home, but there is always temptation at the office!
Good idea, I should type them up and make a downloadable sheet for people to print!
Make your food boring and you're like interesting - I so love that quote!!!! "Food doesn't have to be THE interesting thing." "Doesn't have to always be a party in your mouth." Such a great, motivating video. Thank you!
glad you liked it :-) This is the key
Hard to do if ur poor, say u have 10 bucks to ur name not enough to do anything or go anywhere exciting but you could order a pizza and brighten your day, it's easy to eat boring if you have the means to have a exciting life, but for some food is the only bright part of the day
Very wise! Oil is a new thing and is not good to be eating!
thanks for sharing your stories.. I love how genuine you are.
Nicholas Veron thanks :-)
I love spuds. Nothing nicer than biting into a lovely warm baked spud.
I have shared this video as I agree with every point you make. One thing I would like to say re moderation is the old one that goes, "Moderation in the things that are good, and abstinence from things that are bad." As you point out, moderation in bad things is a myth and won't lead to the highest quality of life. You are the walking, talking example of the health a simple and active life can bring. Nobody is immortal, but we can live our lives in great health and for more years if we focus on food as fuel. There is no getting through to people who are wedded to their meat and fat, but there will be a lot of people who encounter you before they get sucked in to the guru-driven cults, hopefully, and end up on the healthy path. Thank you so much for recording your thoughts all year. Please don't stop after you're finished. We will want to know how you are doing, what you are eating, and many of us have become familiar with your friendly face and don't want to stop seeing it.
thanks for your support. I'll definitely keep this channel going. I'm having too much fun to stop!
The only thing that helped me with sugar cravings was potatoes, I wish i new this 10 years ago, I would have lost a lot of fat, I never considered eating potatoes because it has one of the highest Glycmic index but it was the reason I got rid of sugar cravings ( i couldn't stop eating brownies) for some reason potatoes has a certain minrals of vitamins that kills sugar carvings
Absolutely correct!✅👍
That's so true when you talked about the chocolate cake. I can resist anything if I could just get the good food into me first, then I won't want anything else. Self-talk is very important, at those weak moments. 😋👍
spot on!
Ha! I should have waited for the end of the video...You answered my questions nicely! Thank you, sir.
Jumped the gun there mate ;-)
This video is really great, thank you.
Taught me a lot of healthy thinking & very much appreciated.
glad you like it :-)
Great lessons learned! Thanks for sharing them with us!
Laura Castillejos thanks for watching :-)
I lost all hope after savagely violent attack at a medical office and corrupt NYPD made me drop charges against my will so I turned to food! For me over eating = Hopeless despair... Spudfit helloing me to understand if I make healthy good food choices I can lose weight even at my age!!!!!! Thank you!!!!
You're doing such a great job!
This guy is legit!!! I have been doing a potato island for the last week and have been LOVING it! I have been staying fully carbed and energized!
Spud Fit, New subscriber here, thanks for the powerful inspiration. We ( the money police and me) walked into the supermarket recently and I stopped, looked around and came to the realization that I couldn't see anything that was healthy to eat. It was all "manufactured stuff". Money police agrees with me and has become my strong support for the potato dominant diet plan. She fixes me anything I want as long as it is potatoes and I love it! It's almost frightening how fast the weight falls off and how great we both feel. And we're saving a crate of money on our grocery expenses.
nice! The money police will certainly be happy with the Spud Fit food bill!
Very wise words. Taken some really valuable things home
glad :-)
Just finished watching the rest of this. Profound points you made here! You're a great teacher. This is one of my favorites of your videos,and I'm going to refer back to it often. Huge thanks for all you share, teach, and inspire. Spud Up!
Sherri Amaral Hodge thanks for the support, glad you liked it :-)
I've recently started following you and although I haven't got spud only, I now do 2 days a week spud only. Even this makes a difference to my health. Also my husband who isn't interested in "healthy eating", loves spuds and has decided to join me on my spud days! As a result we have both found that we love spuds and are now thinking of adding another "spud day" to our week. We also find that our taste buds are altering as is our "mindset" about our dependence on food. We know select less "junk food" as we are losing our taste for it and eat less meat, naturally with only spud days. Now my hubby is showing interest in using spuds more and not eating so much meat etc. He has lost 5 kilos in 3 weeks, not a lot, but noticeable for him and he is impressed that he can fill up on spuds and still loose weight. Now he is coming onboard in looking after himself better and we are both going to benefit! Tks for the inspiration! I've been trying for years to get him to eat "healthier". Now he can just eat lots of spuds, enjoy what he is eating, eat as much as he likes and lose weight and feel healthier!!!
oh wow this is so cool! Well done to you both and thanks for sharing your story with me!!
I think a "breakfast party" is so fitting since you're breaking your potato-only fast! 😜
haha good point!
I got on this diet by accident I just liked mash potatoes so I had it for lunch one day and it snowed so I just didnt go out and just ate it for supper. I weighed myself thinking I would gain 1 pound and I was down 4.2. Obviously it was water weight but it got me thinking......the next day lead into the next and I was 238 points to 202 and so on. weird.
not weird at all, totally expected! Well done ;-)
Wow.
thank you for sharing your experience and behavior w foods and manage hunger and attitude toward food and food satisfaction and cravings.
thanks for watching!
I see you have your Spud Fit tee on. I love mine. Such nice quality too. I'm still going to take a picture with my daughter, husband, and myself with ours on. Just haven't made it work yet. :)
Oh cool, glad you like it!
Is it a case of eat when you're hungry?
Behaviors lead to results~
"Moderation leads to mediocrity" wow okay that's true. We shouldn't allow any bad thing in our body. It's sad that we think it's okay if it's in moderation. Why do we accept this..
yes!
People focus too much on observing/reporting the desired results (lag metric) when they should be focussed on the behaviours that produce the desired results ( lead metric) . Works for spuds, works for multi-million $ corporate projects 😌
Haven't heard those terms before but definitely makes a lot of sense!
Thank you for sharing! Love this video!😊✌❤⭐
Great lessons!!
Spud-tastic. Inspirational stuff.
thanks!
Wise lessons. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
What method of preparation would you personally recommend for cooking potatoes? Did you avoid salt and pepper?.
eat them however you like them :-) I eat salt
thank-you!
30 days in for me. This was really good man!
awesome!
Thank you for your cooking tip to add soy milk to mash potato's, they taste fantastic ! :-)
glad you like :-)
just found your channel, you are awesome!
Tim Stevo thanks mate, glad you like it :-)
Can I drink black tea with or without splenda?
Amd maybe I missed it, but are sweet potatoes ok to eat as much as regular potatoes on this diet?
yes, better without splenda.
Sweet potatoes are great

Tiger Woods sex moderation...you jokester you!! You're cracking yourself up & me too! :0)
haha!
Great points!
thanks :-)
my new slogan eat spuds 1st.
Good slogan!
Well thats awesome!!
Did you feel spaced out at all? How was your mental clarity?
Mental clarity was amazing thoughout the year. At the beginning I was clinically depressed and anxious as well as terrible sleep patterns. Wasn't long before those problem were gone.
do you add anything to the potatoes? Salt? or just raw?
yes some minimal falvours, check out the FAQ page at www.spudfit.com for more info.
'Make your food boring and your Life InTeReStiNg!
dont worry about the refined sugar and the sauce. Do what helps you stick to the diet.
yeah that's what I think too.
Can i mainly eat sweet potatoes? Or do you have to only eat white? Help me please haha
Yes any kind of spuds are fine :-)
A Brilliant and Inspirational video. 👏👍
Glad it was helpful!
Can u cook the potatoes in the microwave for 2 minutes or do u need to bake them in the oven?
I wouldn't microwaves kill too many nutrients and foods bacteria
how many did you eat per meal and how many meals per day? I can't find any kind of guidelines.
check out the FAQ page at www.spudfit.com
Clearly you missed point 11
HI You may have mentioned it in the past I'm not sure., Did you become Vegan when you started the spud venture or were you already vegan ?
Gerry Gold yes I've been vegan for nearly 9 years now :-)
what type of workout did you do daily during your challenge . thx
Just what ever I felt like doing. Exercise is not important, just enjoy yourself. I've actually made a video about this which I'lhopefully get around to uploading in the next couple of days...
did you mix it up with different types of potato like sweet potato and taro etc?
yes, all types
I start Sat!
awesome!
What about beverages? Did you abstain from Alcohol, Coffee, tea, soft drinks?
check out www.spudfit.com/f-a-q for lot's of questions and answers :-)
I never thought spuds were unhealthy
Love number 7 and 8!! :D
I'm glad!
Quick question for you. Did you experience headaches or fatigue in the beginning of the year? A couple days ago I re-started a potato diet, and today I felt like complete poo. Fever, headache, fatigue...I'm hoping I'm not allergic to potatoes lol if that's even a thing.
yes that's very normal. It will pass in a couple of days :-)
Good to know :) Thank you for replying!
Frootaholic Chef Ⓥ if it's normal, why would that happen? Just detox from taking other stuff out of your diet? Thanks
our bodies take some time to adjust when we change our diets. Part of this adjustment process is going through some discomfort.
great video man!!! how much did you lost after 1 hole year eating only potatoes??
Still a few weeks to go but 52kgs gone so far :-)
Spud Fit great job brother!!! i wished i had the same motivation :(( loves from Holland!! :)
During the course of your potato only journey, have you been taking a B-12 supplement?
yes, more info here - www.spudfit.com/f-a-q
Just trying out this potato diet I have a question is there a butter or something that taste like butter that could be added to back potato's without increasing the fats?
No. Butter replacements are very fatty too.
Danny Smith if your looking to create a "creamy potato" I'd use cooked cauliflower in a blender. It can be used as a sauce on top of baked potato or mixed in with garlic mashed; pair with spring onions maybe broccoli. It's delicious and not "dry" lol.
John Doe i mash my potatoes with some almond or soy milk to get a creamy texture without the fat. Adding some chives or garlic powder adds flavour. Give it a chance for a week and your palate will adjust to not having butter.
Nutritional yeast might be a good option
Hi, can you do intermittent fasting with the potato diet? Like first meal at 12pm or 1pm
I don't recommend intermittent fasting. No need to go hungry if you're eating the right foods.
@@SpudFit Do you still feel this way about IF? Also, what do you eat for breakfast? I can definitely do potatoes for lunch and dinner but breakfast intimidates me!
@@fawnsteyn7923 yes I still feel this way. Potatoes are edible at all times of the day and night. 🙂
Hello how many potatoes u eat everyday, and we're they organic
check out www.spudfit.com/f-a-q for lot's of questions and answers :-)
Spud Fit hi ! Thanks so much on the reply, I went on the site but it didn't say we there it had to be organic, what did u choose?
And also I'm 107 at 5'5 by the bmi I'm considered underweight, will i gain weight eating this way, thanks buddy i am staring on th 18
how much weight loss in 11 months
On Christmas day will you break the diet to eat a great Christmas Day lMeal. When will you finish the spud diet. ?.✔🍒🍉👌
Gerry Gold I I'm having Christmas lunch with my family on January 3rd :-) I'll finish this on the 1st...
You Look Amazing!!!!
thanks :-)
Amazing. It would be awesome to see you hit the gym and get on the aesthetic level of “gym-goers,” just to mind blow them ;) with their traditional school of thought especially come from such a background! would you ever consider building muscle (like the gym community and trend) as a further pursuit outside of health purposes but for experiencing another realm of body and mind physical and mental connection ?
I think it would be awesome to see natural and materialistic barrier intermingle and I’m sure people have done it, but since you have such a following and news headline it could really surprise people and perhaps even get them out of their traditional safe beliefs.. and as a result help reach a greater diversity of people with their life.
Then again I could be just selfishly speaking so I want to experiment this :) have a good day and so happy for your success ~
That's an experiment I'd really love to do too!...Thanks for your support :-)
if you eat heaps of potatos in a day, could you use just potatoes and gym to make gains and not just lose weight?
I did two months of strength training/powerlifting in the middle of the year and I got stronger and my recovery was amazing. One way to find out...
Unfortunately I didn't lose any weight after 3 weeks patatoe only diet so I decided to break up. But now I regret it much and want to try it again because I suffer from thyroids so I need to make a high carb diet. Did I eat too many patatoes = 2 kilogramms that I didn't lose any weight? Do I have to limit my patatoe consum to 1 kilo?
there are many variable here so it's hard for me to advise on this without knowing a lot more information. For a start - How did you eat you potatoes? What did you have with them? What and how much did you drink?
Spud Fit I boiled and then I mashed them. I put salt in the water because of the taste. I drink 2-2.5 l of water daily. Mostly cola zero as well.
@@nuyyyz5290 stop the zero cola, artificial sweetners can wreck havoc on your body and prevent weight loss or cause weight because your body may be releasing insulin because of the sweetness, causing fat storage.
@@nuyyyz5290 cola zero
How much you lost weight since eating only potatoes?
55kg
did you do any exercise while doing this diet
jackoLantern here's something I prepared earlier :-) - ua-cam.com/video/VxsO-R1b__4/v-deo.html
thank you
This year 2017 is my year all Potatoes straight
me too! Good luck to us haha
Nice, enjoy!
No luck required, only action :-)
im a bit worry about Vitamin E & potato ,what do you thing about that
Potatoes make me tired and sleepy. Boiled or steamed. Can anybody give me advice to lower the tiredness after eating them - as I know potatoes are healthy. They make my skin clearer.
Mathew Stovell they have high starch, if you are insulin resistant, high blood sugar can cause fatigue. Do you get tired after bread, pasta? Also, potatoes are part of the nightshade family. Some are sensitive to them.
I feel the same way as Matthew, they make me extremely tired. I do not have Insulin resistance & I feel completely fine on bread, pasta!
Yes it really really works i did it only for 4 days, and i lost 4 kg :)
awesome!
How’s it going now?
What did you do? I am new?
Also, even though you lost the weight really quickly, you don’t appear to have lose skin. Maybe it’s something to do with carbs.
I didn't lose weight that fast, only a little of 1kg per week. I did it in a healthy way and I think that helps.
Any new videos? What's new? ☺️
So busy with the end of the school year! New one uploading as I type...
English subtitles, please.
On day two of the potato diet.
awesome!
You're a cross between Craig Fitzgibbon and Brad Fittler. I dunno why I thought of that 😂
haha I'll take it ;-)
how tall are you ?
195cm
4 days in myself and I feel great, lost 6lbs
awesome! Well done!
How many potatoes do you consume daily? Can l add some Himalayan pink salt?
What is a spud?
it's slang for a potato
Spud Fit Thanks!
doctors focus on the scale, all the time.
hi
What r u gonna have for christmas :)
I'll give you one guess ;-)
Will you be vlogging christmas day :)
Sheena Colbourne yeah I guess so :-)
A potato has.3.4 g of protein.
How About some butter with mash potatoes
no butter, very unhealthy and calorie dense
I love you Andrew, and you have good content..but this would have been better as a ten minute video.. get to your topic points and stay focused. you look great and are inspiring the world..hoping good things for Mandy and Starchy March.peeling potatoes as I watched this
I'll do my best!
I like listening to Andrew and could listen for hours infact I am . I’m binge watching his vlogs . Each to their own but I enjoy the longer posts !! Thank you for your wise words Andrew 😊
I want your tee shirt 👚 👍😘
www.spudfit.com/shop :-)
Hold on, ...so you ADDED stuff to the potatoes??!! Sauce and stuff? I'm shocked!
haha you're easily shocked then.
Yeah, I guess I am. I could do that diet then. I tend to eat baked spuds with a little olive oil, lemon juice and cayenne pepper, ...or else with garlic oil.
There was some prisoner of war camp in Denmark or Norway, in WWII where prisoners were fed a potato-based diet because it was cheap, ...and by the end of the war they ended up being healthier than the local population.
I just worked out that you'd need to eat 3kg of spuds a day to supply your daily calorie requirements though. I think I'd have to mix it up with some other veg.
www.spudfit.com/f-a-q will give you heaps of info about what I did. I never have any oil, very unhealthy. I've also read about those prisoners. I ate 3-4kg per day, sometimes more with no other veggies and everything was great and only got better over the course of the year.
Looks like Johnny sins
Haha bloody hell I wish I didn't just google who that was! Anyone else reading, don't google him while at work or with kids around! LOL
@@SpudFit 😆
Dont go on a diet. Change your diet
Get to the point...thanks. Very helpful
