- What if you ate only potatoes for two weeks?
It was a wild ride! And I lost a stone (14 pounds)
Video transcription:
What if you only ate potatoes for two weeks?
So we're actually going to Tesco right now, to get a bag of potatoes, what's the time?
Late
It's late
It's 11 O'clock
Here we go
Desiree potatoes, King Edward potatoes, Baking sweet potatoes, white potatoes, Jacket potatoes, sweet potatoes, imperfect potatoes, Maris piper potatoes, baby potatoes, Rudolph potatoes, Jersey royals.
Let's just deal with these...
So here it is, the first potato. Copped, boiled and ready for tomorrow.
And because we all want to know, here's how much I weigh.
Exactly 14 stone
That's 14 stone with a little bit of beer in that belly.
It's currently the 16th of May 2017 and here it is.
I've never felt so nervous eating a potato before
So I've just got back from work and I'm feeling really rough, which is weird, I shouldn't cos I've bad days of eating before. this just feels like my body's screeming out for this like....
So I've got this baked potato going and I'm boiling tomorrow's potatoes
But by the end, I'm hoping to be some sort of like potato god, you know, like some guru
Get enlightened by potatoes.
Oh god.
I usually poop every morning at around 11 o'clock and I didn't go yesterday, it took until 12 o'clock today. That's 25 hours later! Jesus.
And I feel like that bit's only going to get worse
Let's talk about the Bristol stool scale.
A scale from 1 to 7 to show the different types of poops you can have.
Obviously, these don't endorse me
This is a number 1
Then this is a 3
And then you get up to 7
The 16th I might not have gone, but on the 17th my body complained
So, I don't think I'm going to eat many more boiled potatoes because they're just kind of wet and slimy. Like eating slugs all day. I'd rather just eat baked potatoes and pre-prepare them.
There's a reason for this.
That's Hayley, my partner of 8 years. I haven't told her yet, I'm 3 days in and she doesn't like my stupid ideas
2 weeks of only eating potatoes
You're kidding me?
I've done it for 2 days already
so does that mean you can eat McDonald's chips?
No, I can't have chips, I can only have either baked or boiled potatoes, I've got wait until I get home now
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard
Matt no, I don't like these fad diets they're ridiculous
It is a fad diet
It isn't
It's stupid, no, that's really annoyed me
She was really annoyed until she realised that for two weeks she could eat great food and just watch me suffer
So the next few days went fine
And then I switched to sweet potatoes, everyone loves sweet potatoes, but if you bake them and eat them whole with their hard leathery skin and their weird, slimy insides.
You realise. They're disgusting
And then this happened
These things tore me apart
And the next 4 days was full of one and two's
I can't even smell them.
It's a potato, it shouldn't be hard.
I like these normally
Why is it so disgusting?
That was absolutely foul
I can't. I just literally can't
So after that, I changed back to normal potatoes and things became a dream
Things were just happening, things were so much clearer
I didn't worry about what I was eating next because I knew what it'd be, so I just started getting on with it
Yeah the food was boring, but I felt really good, all that until I reached it
Full potato enlightenment
I'm feeling just awful at the moment
I got this bowl full of potatoes, I'm just feeling really like...
I dunno.
I don't want to say faint, even know I was. I've just got to eat more of these, maybe I'm not eating enough. I dunno.
They're doing what they're supposed to be doing, filling my stomach and making me not feel hungry, but because of that, I can tell I'm just not eating enough anymore.
My stomach has shrunk so much
I'm not feeling very hungry. Feeling very hungry? God I can't speak
That's a lot of weight
Things were pretty bad
I couldn't function properly anymore and me and Hayley were arguing
So over my last potato, let's talk about what I've learnt
Honestly, the hardest thing wasn't really the cravings, which were pretty bad at first
It was just really boring
And that's coming from someone who obviously is living in Britain and has everything in the world around me
It made me grateful for the small foods that I didn't really like, which I've just taken for granted
Because right now, I'd kill for them
I just never realised the gravity of the luxury
I started feeling really lethargic and I just couldn't work as well
So
This is my last potato
How big is that shot glass?
Cheers
Thank god that's over
This feels like a big thing, even know it isn't
I'm just about to eat some cheese
Oh my god
Well this blew up...

Take care duuudes!
In the end it was potato in, potato out eh?
It would have been better for you had you ultimately ate nothing and just fasted for the 2 weeks. Eating so few calories is just enough to keep you out of the Ketosis Phase
Any activity would have lead to protein breakdown. He might as well just eat beef and veggies if he was gonna skip carbos.

Is this like Man Becomes Scotsman?
I've never seen a man look so sad eating a single potato.
I eat an only potato diet Mon-Fri, been at it for a month. I give myself Sat-Sun to eat normally. Lost 20 pounds so far!
You should get a better wallet.
dude thats awesome. Even booze? Also can u put anything on them?
@@samuela9245 Yup, no booze either. I do put a little tabasco sauce on them but no salt.
Do you drink on the weekends?
s c Usually yes. It’s weird cuz my tolerance went way down so I don’t need to drink as much as I used to on Saturday and Sunday.
I can totally relate dude, I drank only milk for a few years and when I got like 3 years old I started diversifying.
Ive drank more milk than water for 36years
Where yall at?

@@henryly6186 oh yeah? u dont think that was in post editing? seems more like a slip up in the editing and he forgot to put up that it was after the experiment was over, i dont know but my gut tells me this is a genuine guy
@@henryly6186 it was a third of one chocolate bar on day 1 or 2. If that messes up the entire experiment, then there's other problems than just chocolate
You can grate them and steam them, and eat them as soon as they're cooked. You can add some salt or sauce for variety. And because you're eating more fibre, you HAVE to drink a lot more water or the fibre constipates you.
The vodka would actually count as liquid potatos 😂

The Martian reference. Haa, love it.
Martian?
Lid ya it's was a popular novel/ movie. Essentially the premise of the film was about an astronaut who had lived on Mars with nothing but potatoes. He had grown them on Mars.
Also botany is the study of agriculture or so I believe.
Patrick Dhatt not study of agriculture
But study of plants
You were an early creator for this type of content. Good for you!
I ate jail food for 6 months and then 5 months
Anybody else see the irony of him celebrating his last potato with a shot of vodka...which is made with POTATOES?! lol
Hate to break it to you but you'd be hard pressed to find vodka made from potatoes. More often it's corn or wheat.
Nonsense. Plenty of Polish and Ukrainian vodkas made with potatoes.
SurplusSoria of course, of course, and my favourite vodka is potato but it's not the most common.
JohnTheBOOK Reviewer hmmm both. I know what you're getting at but celebrating not having to ingest potato by ingesting potato is ironic, much like an arsonist fireman is.
SomeCanadian vodka from corn is the same thing as moonshine, which is the same as an unaged white whiskey
Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew

"Only eating potatoes"
Eats a candy bar on day 2 lol
blah haha
What if the candy bar is potato flavored?
im pretty sure it was made after the fact, rofl
Exactly
Pretty sure he only ate it when he was editing the video, aka after the whole thing.
*Irish intensifies*
...he's welsh.
Ciaran Redmond He’s probably talking about the fact that the Irish main diet consisted of potatoes until mass production and sharp decrease of poverty in Ireland.
no it was because of the potatoes famine and 99% of potatoes got blight so after the famine we grew other crops incase the potatoes got blight again
Well the only reason the diet was so dependent on potatoes to begin with was because the English lords and landowners took most of the other crops grown. It's not like the Irish just randomly loved potatoes. Once we were an independent country (or really once we gained the right to own land) we could possess the crops we were already growing and the threat of another famine due to disease diminished pretty dynamically. The Irish were always growing other crops, they just didn't have ownership of them.
Ciaran Redmond it wasnt english landlords it was prodestant landlords but close enough
I have seen this video in my recommended for months now. I will finally watch it
The budget saving must be so good tho
Why didn’t he season them...
what do you think "only" means
No season. Only potato.
@@rex198 only potatoe would mean, dehidrated potatoe powder, so he wasnt being that strict, he could've seasoned them

There's a guy, from Australia I believe, who did a "potato diet thing" for a whole year. It wasn't like this though. He actually made dishes with the potatoes, they always had to be the MAIN thing. He ended up losing a ton of weight and got overall healthier. Probably not important but yeah, there you go.
Gabie Moret Losing weight is just calories in less than calories out
Eddie not really, carbs turn to sugars and sugars turn to calories
That is not how it works. Carbs, proteins, fats, and alcohols all have calories. Calories are a measurement of energy, and excess energy is stored as fat no matter the source.
yea you have no idea how nutrition works
Nutrition has an influence on how the calories are processed, some calories are much more filling than others thus leading to eating less calories.
Why the hell don't you prepare them different, you complete monster
fried or pan potato's have oils in them.
He could of had Potato Wedges, Mashed Potatoes, fried potatoes, French fries, chips.
Leah Savanna he couldn't. They have oil. So he wouldn't be eating only potato
Jeroen Kuppens you can prepare mashed potatoes without oil? and you could use a nonstick baking mat or nonstick pans to roast or panfry them?
he could have at least salted them right?
Damn 2017 was such a good year.

its true if you have a steady diet and eat mostly around the same foods and everything and same times of day eating your body builds a self schedule, its weird how it works but just how the body works haha.
Good thing you had some cheese in the end. It would go well with all that whine.
Did your mum help you write this?
Yep. With loss, we realize how precious everything is
Just for the record a sweet potato, is NOT an actual potato, since they come from different plant family trees, normal potatoes come from the solanaceae aka nightshade family and the sweet potato which is basically just a root vegetable comes from the convolvulaceae family.
So yeah sweet potatoes dont count.
This comment deserves way more upvotes
START OVER!
but do tomatoes count?
@@nox5555 The diet specifically refers to potatoes, not all solanaceae family related plants.
Even though tomatoes and potatoes are from the same family tree (the solanaceae) aka nightshade family, which also includes tobacco and egg plants.
That does NOT make them the same thing. Thats like if you come from a asian family and you have a very distant cousin who is native american, you might share the same bloodline/family tree but you have different sets of genes and features.
I love sweet potatoes

Fad diet? Since when was Ireland a fad diet?
Since when does Ireland only eat only potatoes?
over 5 million Irish died from the famine. British soldiers confiscated corn and other foods (note Ireland is very fertile and produces a lot of grain and especially meat and dairy)
Evicted people into the rain in Ireland , took food and got the population down from 9 to 3 million.
Its more people than the Holocaust .
Lilia Lopez potatoes have a lot of carbohydrates which too much can be bad for you.

I did a similair thing once. I only ate trout for almost 4 weeks. Mostly smoked and grilled, but occasionally raw or baked.
Why? 'Cause I told someone that I fucking love trout and could eat it everyday. He said, nah mate, you'll get sick and tired of it.
I didn't. Well... I did start taking some supplements cause it's of course not a healthy diet, but aside from that I ate every single trout with delight and taste. I did fidget around with my food a lot though; eating it really slowly, pluck the fish apart with my fingers and sort the pieces on size and then eat them, see how long I could keep bites in my mouth without chewing.
It was a great experience and I still fucking love trout.
r a w ?
Purple Giraffe the big surprise is fucking trout is fucking RAW
haha damn bro
Well..last year my classmate..Only ate Cup Noodles for 2-3 Weeks..and he still alive..and wow that's a lot of trout! But I personally prefer tuna..gotta get them Omega 3s and Protein..
I've done both out of necessity... Was working but new job was barely paying my mortgage so I would stop at the lake (lived just a couple blocks from the lake) in the A.M and fish up some trout (mostly trout, occasional bass and catfish) and the old men that were also there fishing would clean it and cook it just to have a portion, then I would stop on the way home after work and fish up some more trout and again the old men that had been sitting there all day fishing would clean it and cook it for just a portion. They mostly did this just for fun and camaraderie.
Years later we had to live on something for 3 months as only one in my household was working so we lived on a 10lb bag of potatoes a week for about $3.00/week. Figured out all kinds of ways to cook the potatoes with the spices that most have in their cupboards. Lost a lot of weight but... played hell with my glucose levels and being a diabetic would never do it again.
I felt so happy for him when he ate the cheese
I've been on the potatoes diet for about two months. I've lost 28 pounds, so far. I've been eating Russets, White Potatoes and Yukon Golds.

Pretty much what you described is the beginning of any diet/lifestyle change. Once you get past 2 weeks it always gets much easier to do.
Thanks for your Sacrifice to make this video for us very informative
It could be worse. Just don't try eating nothing but Taco Bell for two weeks. You might not be around to tell about it.
That fool will be pooping out 8's
honestly besides the obesity you would get from that its probably a plausible diet. you would get all your nutrients with the beans, meat, vegetables and carbs (Lots of carbs) and heck if you stick on the vegetarian menu you might lose weight... id give it a shot when i had more money, but $3.00 packs of chicken cutlets from costco get me through a week, so thats holding me back hard.
Haha i have done that
Gf's coworker ate taco bell for a week and ended up in the hospital for intestinal issues. Kept eating it.
roachtoasties potatoes are healthy but you can’t be healthy is you miss other nutriments like vitamin C
I don’t understand why you didn’t season any of the potatoes to give them more flavor. A lot of foods don’t taste the best without some sort of seasoning my guy
