This post wasn’t expected (again). But I got some interesting feedback, so I’ll save my “Your Stupid Dog Brain” post for soon. Quick general recap of my process, thinking, methods so far:

1. Can Eating Mashed Potatoes With Your Meals Cause You To Eat 30-40% Fewer Calories?
2. Why Am I “Attacking” The Low-Carb and Paleo Diets?
3. I’ve Dropped 13 Pounds In Four Days With No Hunger Or Cravings And I’m Going To Tell You Precisely How
4. The Potato Diet Practicalities: Dropping Big Weight Fast With High Energy and Without Hunger

That last post is the one with the practical stuff, including an amazing low-calorie, low-fat & protein potato soup to up the palatability for those who can handle it and have solidly whipped and lashed their Stupid Dog [Brain]—or for between serious “hack” sessions, or just normal maintenance mode. Otherwise, No Soup For You!

That last post also contains a significant section on the 13-pound weight loss in the first four days, with an update for day seven—another 4 pounds for a total of 17 by last Sunday at the one-week point. Since then, every day except perhaps one (Sunday night; Oscars; Pizza…lots, about 2/3 of a large…zero heartburn; probably a first, since college days) has been a big caloric deficit of 1,000+ per day. The only other non-potato-oriented meal was Monday dinner (nothing but potatoes during the day):
