Make sure you are getting your vitamins. Would be embarrassing if you developed scurvy.

  Can you get scurvy in two weeks? I'm thinking probably not, and when the this phase is done, he's supposed to transition to a vegan diet. I'm guessing that the potatoes-only period is to make it more likely that the new diet will stick. A cleansing of the old eating habits before establishing the new ones. EDIT: Also, potatoes have a lot of vitamin C in them apparently, however cooking does reduce the content. Does eating an ungodly amount make up for the cooking loss?

  In addition, many vitamins are fat-soluble (A, D, E, K), eliminating oil completely is not as great as it sounds.

  Potatoes are rich in vitamin C, there is no risk of scurvy.
