What I like best about the potato diet is that it makes people realize that "carbs" aren't the problem. Additionally, these new diabetes drugs (eg. Wegovy) used as designer weight loss drugs are GLP-1 agonists, GLP-1 is a satiety hormone, eating tons of potatoes causes a massive release of GLP-1. As I've said for years, potatoes are nature's weight loss pill.

Fascinating. I believe that what I've learned today is here to stay. I'm having baked potatoes for supper and will continue my own experiment.

Also, "[...]that its real effect is to make published papers appear trustworthy and credible" feels like a slap on the face. The sudden realization that not only (pretty much) everything is about appearing trustworthy, credible, etc. but also a simple peer review.
