That's the hard part, is what to do afterwards. I decided to go vegan and stay vegan, because i found a lot of information on diet that supports that as a sustainable and (imo) most healthy lifestyle. I know that choice is not for everyone, I used to make fun of vegans when I'd help my FIL with his BBQ catering business. so, here's my take, without the actual practical application of having done it, yet: after you've had a week vacation at the beach, eating crap: come home and do the potato hack for 3-5 days, or do it every other day for a week. I don't think it's optimal, but it would work for keeping the pounds off, and doing a detox from all the typical vacation foods.This sounds great. I am that guy who routinely loses 40-50 pounds and puts it back on. Been about every two years, lose and gain.
My issue with doing something like this, and Im hoping you can chime in, is that I can not do this forever. So while it sounds great and it clearly works, how do you transition regular food back in. I understand the deprogramming of snack and junk food. But if Im at the beach for two weeks and we go out to eat, I want to be able to eat something other than a potato. Even if I eat chicken and a potato, how does eating regular food again work (Again, not talking about the junk food, just regular food)
I would recommend looking into a vegan diet at the Dr. McDougall website, and reading all the information on how heart disease, type II diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, and many other diseases can be completely eliminated through diet. That's what made sense to me, through a lot of reading while I started the potato diet. I realize it's extreme, but it makes sense to me, from the scientific standpoint.
