In December, I experimented with the potato diet from Slime Mold, Time Mold, and I actually lost some weight effortlessly. Not only I was way more satiated, I also noticed that I was losing appetite for meat etc.

I am inclined to believe that the root cause for the obesity epidemic is our satiety signals being out of whack. In which case "just eat less" is about as useful piece of advice as "just breathe less". In both cases you would be struggling against enormously strong, primordial bodily mechanisms.
