Everything is good for you in moderation, if I eat potatoes I tend to have them at dinner but have double the amount of meat and vegetables so I keep the portion size down x0

No...carbs, and in particular, "white" carbs are just the latest and greatest in a long line of dietary boogie men. They do have a slightly higher GI, but barring a medical condition, that really doesn't matter for most. I personally love my white starches when I need to carb load before a race. Jet fuel baby....
Agreed...... I am a type 2 diabetic and white potatoes have been a staple in my diet from day one and I have lost a few pounds and my A1c's went from 10.0 to the last 2 1/2 years averaging 5.3...... nothing wrong with them in my opinion...0 -
I dreamed about them last night. Tossed in a little olive oil with fresh rosemary, garlic, sea salt and roasted. If they're bad for you, I don't want to be good.
Plus, they are easy to grow and do well in my climate.
It's the rich toppings and huge servings that do you in. Not the humble, nutritious potato itself.0 -
A small white potato isn't "bad" for you, but a sweet potato is better. More fibre, more vitamins, slower digesting, less impact on bloody sugar. Make sure you have ypur potato with meat, like tuna mayo, grilled chicken/fish, steak...
Why do you say you need to have potatoes with meat?
You don't _need_ to, but a potato with butter and sour cream is hardly a balanced meal.. White potatos are a fast disgesting carb, with protein, satiety lasts longer.0 -
LOL!
scaremongering.
Love that word!
That is exactly what happened. I love my baked potatoes. Thanks All for your input. I'm having a baked potato for supper tonight without guilt.0 -
Also, kitties love potatoes. How could you argue with them?

What is the digestion rate of a white potato vs a sweet potato? Why do potatoes need to be part of a "balanced" meal? What's wrong with a fast digesting carb source? Will I never feel satiated eating a white potato, regardless of the size, if I eat it alone?0 -
potatoes are pretty awesome. white, red, blue, sweet, they're all great.
i eat em' all the time.
after chocolate, it's probably the second most important food in my diet that I would never give up. ever.0 -
I eat them in moderation, around 150g and I do weigh! As part of my calorie count I really enjoy them. We get purple potatoes in the Uk too. Love the older varieties and also Jerseys, Charlottes, Roseval etc...0
