I'm on both sides so just to be clear this is not at all what Dr Fuhrman recommends. He calls for substituting legumes for potatoes as primary energy/carb source.

One could be on a healthful diet that is 15 percent of calories from fat or a healthful diet that is 30 percent of calories from fat too.
Eat only an ounce a day if you are significantly overweight, but if thin, physically active, pregnant or nursing eat two to four ounces according to your caloric needs.
that for every calorie removed from the diet from rice, potato, bread or animal products and substituted with raw seeds and nuts you get many health benefits
