A Monotrophic diet or mono diet is a type of fad diet that involves eating only one food item (such as potatoes or apples) or one type of food (such as fruits or meats).

Health concerns

Nutrionists caution that a monotrophic diet may lead to malnourishment, muscle loss, deficiency or dangerous excess of certain nutrients, and difficulty in losing future weight.

Examples

There are examples throughout history of eccentrics living on monotrophic diets. For example, Piero di Cosimo, an Italian painter ate only boiled eggs. George Sitwell ate only roasted chicken.

Comedian and magician Penn Jillette began his weight loss regimen with a mono diet, eating only potatoes for two weeks, then adding in other healthy foods to change his eating habits.
