Look into the 'Slow Carb' diet - in simple terms you cut out sugar/processed carbs and replace bread/pasta/potato/rice with beans and extra veg.

Then one day a week you eat what you want. I personally find it far easier to follow than Keto - and while the affects aren't as extreme, when I was being strict with it, I was at my leanest and healthiest I've ever been.

Do we really need to group potatoes in there ? They're not processed carbs at all and have more protein than most people think

They cause an insulin spike so yes - but you can bend the rules however you want. For me just doing something where I stop myself gorging on sweets/chocolate is half the battle. Anything that spikes my insulin makes me crave sweet foods.
