Update on the Potato Guy

So I was sitting at "bin on the lake" a Kirkland wine bar with my girlfriend Kim for dinner during restaurant week on Wednesday night and she asked me "what ever happened to that potato guy?" which reminded me that I need to update you all on the progress! Kim also told me that she actually reads my blog, which is AWESOME and made my night - thank you Kim!
So the basic outline is that he will be eating only potatoes, no toppings, nothing else, from October 1st - November 29th.

He started the diet at 197 lbs and 73.5 in tall making his BMI 25.6 kg/m2 (which is just barely considered overweight). His lab results are here:


He has Pre-Diabetes with a high blood glucose at 104. (Goal = Less than 100)
He has high cholesterol with a total cholesterol of 214. (Goal = Less than 200)

He is aiming for 2200 calories per day but is having a hard time getting in that many because, well he is only eating potatoes and there's only so many potatoes a person can handle! But after the initial couple weeks he was back closer to 2200. And, he's been advised to eat potato chips and french fries in order to get some essential fatty acids that the potatoes arent providing him.

Very interesting! Check out the day-to-day blog: http://20potatoesaday.com/blog.php
