Variety: Dietary variety and balance is best for optimal health. You may develop micronutrient deficiencies over time by eating a restricted diet.

NOT A SOUND DIET: It would certainly help to lose weight but that is a terrible diet- woefully lacking in vitamins, minerals, essential Amino Acids ; essential fatty acids. Potatoes are amongst the foods to avoid to lose weight! for healthy weight loss i like dr. Furhman's diet: http://bit.Ly/1dhw9ht dr. Weil has useful info: http://huff.To/19ygs8y- see his "discuss that" link in his article. Exercise helps too!
