Actually it's not a bad suggestion if you take it to mean eat whole grain products instead of processed stuff. Eat rown rice istead of white. Whole wheat bread instead of white.
But there is no need to extend it to potatoes etc. The problem people have is that they don't know what a proper serving size is. Read box labels on proper serving size for a month and you'll know exactly how much of what is considered fine. Treat the pasta and potatoes as a side dish instead of the main course.
