Andrew Taylor's story went viral when the world caught wind of the then-36 year old Aussie dad who had embarked upon a quest to eat only potatoes for the entirety of 2016.

He is also a sought-after speaker and natural interviewer, hosting groundbreakers such as Rich Roll, James Aspey, Doug Lisle and Alan Goldhamer for his podcast.

Episode 129 Joe Jacob is on the show this week and he is sharing his life long weight-loss journey. One of the reasons I was excited to share Joe's story with you is that, like so many of us on our road to better health, Joe didn't wake up one morning and make the switch to a plant-based diet over night, Joe has been on a long and winding road to success and he is closer than ever before thanks to Andrew Taylor and the Spudfit Challenge.

Episode 124 is here and this week Andrew ‘Spudfit' Taylor is back on the show to coach me through a tricky plateau that I've found myself fall into since having my youngest baby. In this episode I step way outside of my comfort zone and open up about the weight gain I experienced after having Theo and how, when combined with long term sleep deprivation, I'd found myself struggling to keep my fat intake down low enough to maintain my previous weight loss. This episode is for anyone who has platued on a wfpb diet, or struggled with maintaining their weight loss for what ever reason and needs some new tools in their tool belts as they move forward. Andrew is fantastic at what he does and I hope you get as much out of listening to him coach me as I did.

This week we welcome Andrew Taylor to the show. At the beginning of 2016, in the depths of mental and physical despair, Andrew had a simple idea to treat food addiction by quitting food, in much the same way an alcoholic should quit alcohol. He ended up quitting all foods except potatoes, in a simple experiment to see what would happen. Pretty soon Andrew's story went viral around the globe as people were captivated by his incredible weight loss and physical and mental health improvements. So many thousands of people asked Andrew for help over the course of the year that the best way to help as many people as possible was to collate all the advice he had given in the form of a book. Thus he found that completely unintentionally he'd become a published author. Questions we ask in this episode: How do you define food addiction and what are the tell-tale signs? Can certain foods or supplements aid to suppress the addictive habits? What 3 tips could you offer those wanting to make change? https://180nutrition.com.au/ This week I'm excited to welcome Andrew Tyler to the show, who is the founder of Spud Fit. Andrew was a former junior Australian champion marathon kayaker, struggling with a lifetime of food addiction and dieting that left him weighing in at over 150 kilos. His story went viral when the world caught wind of the then 36 year old Aussie dad, who had embarked upon a quest to eat only potatoes for an entire year. The results of this experiment were nothing short of remarkable, and today Andrew coaches thousands of people through their food addiction issues and focuses on addressing the root causes of overeating. Over to Andrew. Hey guys, this is Stu from one 80 nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Andrew Tyler to the podcast. Andrew, how are you? Andrew 01:33 Very well, and I'm honored to be a guest, so thank you for having me. Stu 01:37 Thank you for agreeing to come on. So really, really keen to get into your story and also the discoveries that you learned along your journey. But before we jump into any of that stuff, if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself for our listeners that may not be familiar with you. Andrew 01:54 Well, my name is Andrew. I'm Spud Fit, basically. That's my online alter-ego, Spud Fit, that's my website, it came about because, I guess most people listening would know me from, well, maybe they don't know me at all, that's probably more likely. But the people that do know me, would know me from a couple of years ago. I got my little 15 minutes of zed grade fame for eating only potatoes for an entire year. Yeah, that was something that I thought at the time was the most boring thing a person could possibly ever do, and in hindsight, it made sense that people were interested in it, but it was a surprise. So yeah, I got a little bit of a viral fame, in inverted commas, from that. To view full interview and transcript:  https://180nutrition.com.au/180-tv/andrew-taylor-interview/    

Episode 91 is here and this week Andrew ‘Spudfit' Taylor sits down with us to talk about how he supports his 1:1 coaching clients to overcome emotional eating and food addiction by developing a ‘thought plan' alongside a ‘food plan'. Andrew believes the key to lasting freedom from food addiction is to not only ‘eat better', but to ‘think better' because changing our ‘thinking' will inevitably help us to transform our lives in profound and meaningful ways. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. x

If you don’t sacrifice for what you want, then what you want becomes your sacrifice. And, to maintain the drive, persistence and strength you need to continue making these sacrifices, it’s important to have a cause and a meaning much bigger than yourself. Today’s guest, Andrew (Spud Fit) Taylor, became a viral sensation when the world heard the story of his personal challenge to eat only potatoes for the entire year in 2016. In late 2015, the former junior Australian Champion marathon kayaker was in the depths of despair after yet another failed attempt in a lifetime of dieting that had left him even heavier than before – 151.7kg. So, after realising that he was a food addict, he decided to tackle his food addiction with abstinance, or as close as he could get. Andrew’s first short book, 'The D.I.Y. Spud Fit Challenge' : a how-to guide to tackling food addiction with the humble spud’ was co-authored by his wife Mandy van Zanen and has helped many people to break the shackles of food addiction. Andrew now spends his time coaching others through food addiction through 'The Spud Fit Academy' community, speaking, making Youtube videos and interviewing groundbreakers for his own podcast. He has also just released his second book. Andrew shares about: * how he first realised he had a food addiction * what made him choose to eat only potatoes * his driving force and purpose for breaking his food addiction * difference between food addiction and cravings * the power of finding a meaning bigger than yourself * his changes in thought processes which fight his cravings * if you don’t sacrifice for what you want, what you want is what you will sacrifice Andrew's challenge for the week: remove one thing from your life You can connect with Andrew at: * www.spud fit.com * andrew@spudfit.com * spudfit on all the socials Please share it with on social media and tag Andrew @spudfit and me @davejorna and @dolifebetterpodcast You can follow me on Instagram at @davejorna (www.instagram.com/davejorna) and @dolifebetterpodcast (www.instagram.com/dolifebetterpodcast).

Welcome to episode 27 of the Weekly Dose of You4ia Podcast, this week’s special guest is Andrew Taylor or more commonly known as ‘Spud Fit’. This man is an absolute weapon and is doing incredible things for not only the vegan community but for the general population. There was a time in his life where he was morbidly obese and completely addicted to food, causing him both emotional and physical stress. He aimed to remove the decision making out of eating by limiting his food choices to spuds and ultimately curing his bad relationship with food. Andrew lost a staggering 55kgs during this year, as well as resolving his addiction to food. He is a true inspiration and such a humble man, it was a pleasure being able to share his story with you all today.   You can get in contact with Andrew through his website or email address and you can find him on all social media platforms, including YouTube.   Email: Spudfit@gmail.com Instagram: spudfit Website: www.spudfit.com

Today's guest is a former junior Australian champion marathon kayaker, and also a high school P.E. teacher who embarked upon a quest to overcome food addiction, anxiety, and depression by eating only potatoes for an entire year.

Andrew Taylor found his purpose by digging deep though emotional pain and turmoil to become a leader in food addictions. After many years unknowingly suffering from binge eating and being limited by food addictions, Andrew did what no one has ever thought before. He gave up as much taste in his food as possible and adopted a POTATO ONLY diet for an entire year. This made him realize how he was a victim to hiding his emotions behind taste and food satisfaction. Before long, he catapulted onto TV and Newspapers around the world. Being vulnerable, this was super difficult for him but there was a greater purpose to be pursued. To help others heal from the claws of food addictions. To allow people to access the tools away from emotional torture. SpudFit.com SpudFit Academy SpudFit Cookbook SpudFit DIY Challenge Book

No one wants to overeat. And certainly no one wants to overeat for years, become overweight, and end up with a high risk of diabetes or heart disease– yet two-thirds of Americans do precisely that. In his book The Hungry Brain, Stephan J. Guyenet, PhD argues that the problem is not necessarily a lack of willpower or an incorrect understanding of what to eat. Rather, our appetites and food choices are led astray by ancient, instinctive brain circuits that play by the rules of a survival game that no longer exists. And these circuits don’t care about how you look in a bathing suit next summer. After earning a BS in biochemistry at the University of Virginia, Stephan pursued a PhD in neuroscience at the University of Washington, then continued doing research as a postdoctoral fellow. He spent a total of 12 years in the neuroscience research world studying neurodegenerative disease and the neuroscience of eating behaviour and obesity. His publications in scientific journals have been cited over 1,400 times by his peers. Here’s the outline of this interview with Stephan Guyenet: [00:01:01] Bland Food Cookbook.

Meet Andrew "Spud Fit" Taylor who used the humble potato to cure his food addiction. Andrew ate only potatoes for one year when he had a self realization that he had to abstain from food in order to beat his addiction. (BTW he lost a significant amount of weight !) He shares how at times he wished his addiction had been alcohol just from the simple fact it would have been much easier to abstain from. Andrew was intuitive and very practical in his approach to overcoming his food addiction. His insight absolutely intrigues me in this interview and he shares step by step what he did on a mental and emotional level to overcome his addiction. It is a powerful interview that will encourage anyone struggling with any problem in life. There were a few technical glitches, I apologize in advance...I edited out the best I could but a few remained.

In today’s episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to Andrew “Spud Fit” Taylor, commonly known as that guy who ate potatoes for a year. We talked to him about the Australian diet, how he grew to 300 lbs despite his active lifestyle and of course why he chose potatoes. Andrew tells us about the physical and mental health changes he experiences and how he was able to continue with this one food for so long. This is a great episode for anyone with food addiction or anyone interested in the story behind Spud Fit. Andrew Taylor is known as the man who embarked on a quest to eat only potatoes for the entirety of 2016. The former junior Australian Champion Marathon Kayaker’s journey started in late 2015 after another failed attempt at dieting. Heavier than before, with clinical anxiety and depression, Andrew realized he was a food addict. The former high school physical education and health teacher with a degree in Applied Science (Human Development) spent six weeks researching ‘the perfect food’ before settling on the humble spud.  Here ‘The Spud Fit Challenge’ was born. Andrew would eat only potatoes for an entire year. The world watched through mainstream media as his weight melted away, health improved and the dark clouds of depression lifted over the course of a year. Andrew’s first book, The D.I.Y. Spud Fit Challenge: A How-to-Guide to Tackling Food Addiction with the Humble Spud, was co-authored with his wife Mandy van Zanen and has helped many people to break the shackles of food addiction. Andrew now spends his time coaching others through food addiction, speaking, making YouTube videos, working on his own podcast and currently writing his second book.   In this episode we discuss: Getting bigger The Australian diet Mental health & depression Unable to change Parent-teacher night 1 slice of pizza Quitting food Potatoes Overcoming depression Food addiction Failing Tips for overcoming food addiction   Links to things we mentioned: by using the code “PlantTrainers” at checkout – Use “PlantTrainers” at check-out for 20% off your order – Use “PlantTrainers” at check-out for 15% off your order Andrew’s , , , ,   Thank you to this month’s Patrons for supporting us on : “Joe” Miriam Selick Millie Pearson Stu Dolnick               Don’t forget to contact us at  with your question for our “Hey Plant Trainers” segment!   Join our FaceBook Groups:   Do you want to create lifelong healthy eating habits for you or your family?

This weeks guest is Andrew “Spud Fit” Taylor from Melbourne, Australia. For the past year Andrew has been on this incredible journey where he has only eaten potatoes. He has lost 115lbs in the last year but says that really this journey began as a way to change his relationship with food. In addition to changing his relationship with food and losing 115lbs, he has also been able to overcome his clinical depression. One of my favorite things that Andrew said to me during our conversation was this, “everything you need for success is within you, you just need to find a way to unlock it.” Here is our conversation and I hope that you enjoy it.

“If you want extreme results, you need to do extreme things.”Andrew “Spud Fit” TaylorOne of the great privileges of hosting this podcast is the occasional opportunity it presents to shift focus from conversations with globally prominent thought leaders to shine a bright spotlight on the struggles and triumphs of the everyman.Folks living average, relatable lives. Anonymous individuals dealing with issues all too many of us confront and combat — obesity, depression, disease, addiction and/or a sense of general dissatisfaction with their current life status. Authentic souls who reach the limit of their pain threshold and cross that tipping point to finally proclaim,enough is enough.On a personal note, nothing gives me more satisfaction than celebrating those who courageously challenge their life paradigm, step outside the cozy comfort zone, and attempt the extraordinary — all in the interest of gaining control of their well being and seizing the reigns of their life path.Folks like Josh LaJaunie, who lost over 200 pounds to conquer ultramarathons and even grace the cover of this month's Runners World magazine. Or Brett & David Wilcox – the father-son duo who ran across the USA to raise GMO awareness. Luke Tyburski fits the bill — a guy who overcame depression to conquer The Ultimate Triathlon. And I'd add Adam Sud to that list — a young guy who kicked adderal, reversed his diabetes and found a life.Sharing these experiences is what makes this podcast different from the others — meaningful and special in a very unique way.So if you enjoy the uplifting everyman story, then you are in for a treat today.About a year ago, Andrew Taylor stepped onto the scale — 334 pounds. The Aussie didn't like what he saw. He didn't like how he felt. Clinically depressed, medicated and hopelessly addicted to unhealthy foods, his elevator was going down — fast.Fed up and sick & tired of being sick & tired, he drew a line in the sand and decided to step over it.It was time to finally wake up and seize the reigns of his physical, mental and emotional health and well being. To once and for all reclaim the life he felt quickly slipping away.Blessed with self-awareness, he saw his path to freedom would lay not in balance but rather in what most would consider drastic and extreme measures.Andrew decided that he would eat nothing but potatoes for an entire year.Nothing. But. Potatoes. For an entire year.On January 2, 2016, all 334 depressed pounds of Andrew popped open his phone, clicked record, and announced his quest on YouTube — to a subscriber base of exactly zero.The single video soon morphed into a daily vlog, a raw, personal and authentic look into the highs, lows, how to's and whatnots of a potato-fueled journey Andrew dubbed Spud Fit.He presumed nobody would care. This was for him. Surprisingly, the world took notice. It wasn't long before the global media picked up Andrew's personal interest story and before he could even blink, his wild adventure was foisted into the white hot spotlight.Over the last year, Andrew has been profiled in countless publications — eve...

Andrew Taylor has lost 85 pounds and is conquering his addiction using potatoes. He visits Perfectly Healthy And Toned Radio to discuss his journey. Andrew Taylor struggled with his weight for most of his life. He tried all sorts of diets and ways of eating but the weight always came back. He had an epiphany at the end of 2015 that his attempts at weight loss were treating a symptom and not the problem. His next thought was to get as close to quitting food as possible while still eating, a nutritious, healthy diet. He thought if he couldn't quit entirely perhaps he could stop all foods except one. He spent time researching books, watching documentaries, and reading scientific literature. Through his journey, he finally settled on potatoes as the perfect food to provide nutrition and help conquer his food addicition. Visit http://Spudfit.com to learn more about Andrew Taylor
