The Potato and yoghurt diet lasts 3 days and the goal is to lose 5 kilos. Please note that this is only the goal, not necessarily the result. The diet should not be followed for more than 3 days.
During the 3 days, you only eat boiled potatoes and yoghurt. You also drink plenty of water. There seem to be no requirements about the kind of potato or the kind of yoghurt you eat. There are also no clear instructions on the exact quantities, for example how big the potato should be or how many ml. of yoghurt you eat at a time.
The Potato and yoghurt diet prescribes what you should eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. Below is an overview.
It is important to note here that the number of calories you get during the diet is very low. Therefore, the diet can be considered a crash diet.
For breakfast you eat 1 boiled potato and a bowl of yoghurt. At lunch you eat 2 boiled potatoes and a bowl of yoghurt. For dinner you consume two bowls of yoghurt.
On the second day you have a bowl of yoghurt for breakfast. For lunch you take 2 boiled potatoes. For dinner you can have 1 boiled potato and a bowl of yoghurt.
On the last day of the diet you eat 1 boiled potato for breakfast. For lunch, 1 boiled potato and a bowl of yoghurt. In the evening only eat one bowl of yoghurt.
As mentioned before, with this diet you are not allowed to eat any other products than potatoes and yoghurt. For instance, you cannot use sauce with your potatoes. Adding salt is also not allowed.
