The diet flushes a lot of the water out of the body, which can easily be confused with weight loss by burning fat. Anyone who returns to old eating habits after the diet also risks a yo-yo effect. In order to lose weight in the long term and keep your weight stable, the German Nutrition Society recommends a long-term change in behavior with a change in more physical activity with a diet in combination with a healthy lifestyle. The daily amount of potatoes should be between 600 and 1,000 grams. The method of preparation is also important: steam-cooked, fat-free potatoes are particularly suitable.
