Potatoes are good for you, and Chris Voigt wants to prove it with an all-spud diet for the next two months.

Starting Oct. 1, the Washington Potato Commission executive director will eat only potatoes — 20 a day — to let people know just how healthful potatoes really are.

"Just potatoes," he told the Capital Press. "Nothing else. Well, seasonings and some herbs, but no sour cream, no gravy, no salsa, no chili, no cheese, no broccoli — just potatoes."

  • I'm currently on day 5 of my 30 day all potato diet. Like Chris, I eat approx 15-20 per day. My starting weight was 172lbs, I'm down to 168, I plan to go to 160. I am very angry at the low carb high fat trolls like Gary Taubes and Mark sisson who malign my beloved tuber.

  • @tinghaling For some people, it does not seem to matter. But maybe someone else would gain weight. I don't have information to prove any of this, though.

  • You can't beat smashed potatoes! I guess one has not much to lose, but weight, trying this diet for 3 or 4 days and see what happens.

  • It's hard to imagine that you lost 20 pounds since this video. You already look skinny here. I would like to see a new season of The Biggest Loser on Potato Diet.
