Penn Gillette jump-started his 100+ lb weight loss by eating only potatoes for a month or two, I think.

Can’t be good for diabetics, though, right? Those potatoes will turn into sugar in the system, right?

Potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrots are all starches. Turn to glucose in your system just like eating processed carbs.

yep. all carbs are turned into glucose by the liver and then into stored fat if not quickly burned for energy:
