Uh. If that's promised for the first attempt, I can definitely confirm it doesn't work. I've actually ate nothing but potatoes for about a week before (particularly lazy, potatoes are very easy to cook, etc., etc.), and nothing like that happened. Like, at all.

A potato diet that is "literally straight carbs" as Cryxis described sounds like that to me. The first search result for it describes eating nothing but potatoes for 3-5 days, and promises rapid weight loss (over a pound a day) combined with miraculously alleviating other minor bodily issues.

Sort of like how you can cure a headache with a bullet?

Spoiler: Obligatory XKCD (click to show/hide)

In non-shitposty content, I now have 1l of 'wine' I made myself. It's a fermented off-brand apple juice, since that's what we've been given, hence the scarequotes.
It's not so bad, though. Sparkling, semi-dry, 12.6% ABV.

Well the point of it isn't to be healthier it's to consume fewer calories and not at such a drastic pace.

I don't care if it's straight carbs, weight loss is from consuming fewer calories not "healthier" ones

Lose weight by amputating your limbs from your body.
Reduced weight guaranteed!

There's better ways to reduce calorie intake, that provide better nutrition. Or you could exercise more or something.

But potatoes are healthy and they ARENT all that I'm eating, just used in place of higher calorie things

Also I don't have time to do cardio, which is the only work out I can really do to lose weight

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Whoah! My favorite vegetarian fast food chain has introduced a "phish burger"!
The taste and texture of fish is probably the thing I've missed most about being an omnivore! In fact, for a long time I remained a pescetarian (or however you spell it, I'm on my phone and cannot check) instead of a full vegetarian, simply because fish was too tasty to give up.

Having finally tried the phish burger just now, I can safely say that the battered fish burger-shaped void has been filled. Now, I just need to convince the restaurant to make it a permanent addition to their menu instead of just a limited-time thing...

"don't have time to do cardio"

Bro, jogging on the spot is cardio. Stretching is cardio. Those sorta things take seconds out of a day.

You're probably thinking of cycling or walking or running long distances, which do take a long time. I cycle, myself.

No I quite literally don't have those seconds. During the week when I'm not at school I'm either at some sort of practice or doing homework them shower then sleep. Every once in awhile I'll walk a couple miles but that's when I don't have homework
