I am so sorry for your loss. I am worried for my daughter as well. We lost my husband/her dad last year to heart failure caused by radiation treatments for Hodgkins Lymphoma.

I don't believe...

Hacks seem to be the only things that work for me anymore - protein sparing modified fast, potato fast, but not high fat (I gained on Kwasniewski's Optimal Diet after an initial loss--I abandoned it...

Has anyone been following Richard Nikoley's raw milk fast (Free the Animal)? As I understand it, he has lost over 15 pounds and found it easier than the potato hack.

Is anyone doing this?

I'm relieved too! Thanks for the update, Croak. What an awful experience.

I hope I'm wrong. I just remember knowing exactly what he meant when Chris Voigt said the docs had to test his kidneys before he embarked on his potato fast.

I don't know what the policy is for...

Croak,

This sounds like a pretty serious situation. Do you have kidney problems? Even if you don't, please estimate the daily potassium you have taken in from the potatoes and call the doctor...

Since someone mentioned this is Dr. McDougall's hack, I have been reading and watching youtube videos to see if I can get a better understanding.

I found a man that followed his diet and lost 170...

My weight goes all over the...

Thank you!

I just read a facebook post from Ray Cronise. I believe he has clients? He posted one that has dropped 38 pounds in 38 days. I believe he is applying cold therapy to a fat-free...

Healthy11 - Richard Nikoley added 1 tsp butter to potatoes and did great.

My daughter is only half-doing the hack because she is in college living in a dorm and she says lunch is impractical. I...

I did a three-week run and lost 14 pounds. I stayed with condiment levels of whatever (butter, egg yolks, bits of chicken) as long as it stayed under 250 calories per day (most days less than 100...

Otzi,

Thank you so much for your reply. Your advice makes a lot of sense. You're right; I shouldn't be so extreme with crash diet + endurance exercise. You got it; I want to be 175 lbs!

I...

I am doing the potato hack and want to build strength and endurance (want to keep up with friends for spring/summer activities).

I attempted a 20 mile bike ride over the weekend on a flat trail. ...

Sorry, somehow I missed your post otzi, thank you for your reply.

Oh, yes, I do have the Perfect Health Diet/Jaminet; it is the best book on diet/health I believe. I was fascinated for a long...

Down 10 pounds now. It seems to be fat, not water or muscle. I am getting stronger and could bike uphill in a higher gear last night. My pant legs are loser (most of my weight is hips/thighs at...

Hi-I'm on day 8 of the potato hack. Down 8 pounds. I'm curious to see I get more mileage out of this.

I did something similar once before when I was 19; I lost 29 pounds in 30 days eating 5...
