EP. 27: Andrew Taylor

This weeks game changing guest is Andrew ’Spudfit’ Taylor from Melbourne, Australia. 

After personally choosing to eat plant based back in 2016, I heard a story about a man from Australia who had decided to eat potatoes for the year in a bid to battle his food addiction.

The term food addiction is not something that we often use, and for many, this term may sound funny. Coupled with a diet of only potatoes and I’m sure there are many people out there who thought this was some kind of joke. However Andrew was tackling his problem with a solution that he thought would work and if it wasn’t to be the solution, the worst thing that could happen was that he’d be back at square one.

In this episode we cover:

- Andrew shares his story about his ongoing battle with weight.

- His time as a national long distance kayaker.

- The motivation behind his desired change.

- How Andrew sees and defines food addiction.

- Why he chose the potato as the only food he would consume in 2016.

- What his blood test results were like when eating only potatoes. 

+Much more!

I really enjoyed chatting with Andrew and also learned a lot. He was able to give me a new perspective on this topic and provided an amazing recount of his journey. 

You can find Andrew on Instagram @spudfit and also online at spudfit.com where you can his new cookbook with over 100 whole food potato based recipes!
