The potato diet — or potato hack — is a short-term fad diet that promises rapid weight loss.

Though many variations exist, the most basic version claims to help you lose up to one pound (0.45 kg) a day by eating nothing but plain potatoes.

It’s well known that potatoes are a great source of nutrients, but you may wonder whether eating them can help you shed weight.

This article reviews the pros and cons of the potato diet and whether it can help you lose weight.
