I agree, the low caloric density of potatoes (and even more so kidney beans) is an important componant to all this which I didn’t bring up in the above article, but I’m convinced that it isn’t the whole story. I will get to this in later posts, but here are some preliminary reasons why I think that:

* All my life, I’ve never felt full after eating an ice-cream cone, now on the days I take a lot of K, I feel really full afer eating an ice-cream cone, even the days where my K comes entirely from just coconut water.
