Where did it go?
I hope 2015 treated you all well, and that 2016 brings great health and prosperity to everyone. I've tried to keep the blog light and informative and I've really enjoyed interacting with all of the commenters. We talked about some great stuff, looking back through the posts, and I can kind of see my thinking has changed quite a bit from 2014.
Discussions on potato diets, resistant starch, gut health, prebiotics, probiotics, oil-pulling, cold thermogenesis, and other affairs of plain living...

Christmas PUDDD'ing and Potato Porn
Merry Christmas, kind readers!
We take Christmas seriously up here in North Pole, Alaska. I have some intel from "the man himself" that the reindeer are looking forward to that warm weather ya'all have been having down in the lower-48.
You might think I'm kidding, but check it out. Santa has so much time on his hands what with automating the toy work shop and outsourcing to China, he ran for City Council. Right. Like we aren't going to vote for Santa in North Pole, Alaska.
Maybe we can write him in for president!
Anyway, just wanted to let you all try my favorite variation of the potato hack over the holidays. I know we should all be good little boys and girls and not eat the fudge, divinity, toffee, and candy canes, but sometimes you just gotta say, "ho! ho! ho!" and go with the flow. So here's a great way to keep the old waistline in check over the holiday season. I call it Christmas PUDDD'ing.

The Potato Hack
Fellow Tater Fans - I'm playing around with the Potato Hack, updating the "rules." The Potato Hack is always popular around the holidays, so if anyone wants to give it a try, let's hear your questions and results in the comments!
Here are the new Potato Hack guidelines:
The rules for the Potato Hack are simple. If you are eating something that is not a potato, you are doing it wrong.

The rules for the Potato Hack are simple. If you are eating something that is not a potato, you are doing it wrong.
1.
Plan on eating just potatoes for 3 to 5 days
2.
Eat 2-5 pounds of
potatoes each day
3.
No other foods allowed
(this includes butter, sour cream, cheese, and bacon bits!)
4.
Salt, pepper, and
vinegar allowed, but not encouraged
5.
Drink when thirsty;
coffee, tea, and water only
6.
Heavy exercise is
discouraged, light exercise and walking are encouraged
7.
Take your normal
medications, but dietary supplements will not be needed
Expected results
from 3-5 days of the Potato Hack:
·
Fat loss of 3-5 pounds
·
Reduction in
inflammation, joint pain
·
Reduction in digestive
complaints
·
Increased insulin
sensitivity, lower fasting blood glucose levels
·
Restoration of healthy
intestinal bacteria
·
Continued weight loss
upon resumption of normal diet
Many people report
that, for the first time in a long time, they are not hungry despite eating
such a bland diet of restricted calories. People report better sleep and
habitual snorers stop snoring. Those
that have watched an un-budging scale for months or years report daily losses
of ½ -1 pound, and the weight does not come back on, as in other “crash” diets.
Thoughts?
Later!
Tim
