anecdata: I lost 8-9lbs over 90 days doing 25% potato and otherwise eating moderately healthy. The weight stayed off for 9 months afterwards eating ad libidinum (but with slightly more propensity towards potatoes). My recent weight gain seems related to lifting harder and regaining some lost muscle mass. I’ll run another potato fueled cut soon and see how it is.
Note: 25% potatoes by calories feels like half of food eaten by weight.
The diet was indeed very easy as if I was hungry at the end of the day I would just microwave a bowl of mashed potatoes with some frozen peas and carrots. This was consistently delicious, which surprised me.
edit: I weighed myself in the morning a few times and I’ve only regained half the weight over a year later.
