What the hell!?

I came to this site because I heard it was a really good way to count my carbs. But today all I see is POTATO everywhere?

I came to this site looking for some support for my new low carb lifestyle change and instead I am being ASSAULTED by potatoes, which everyone knows are not only full of carbs but they are the second worst KIND of carb because they basically turn into sugar immediately in your system.

I have a sugar and carb addiction and I cannot lose weight if I am constantly thinking about potatoes!

    I don't know who would tell you it was a good place to count carbs because it doesn't allow for fiber. And its for everyone wanting to lose weight no matter how they are doing it - not just lowcarbers.

    You can still eat potatoes and lose weight. Just watch your portion control. Don't make any drastic changes to your diet now. Make small positive changes that you can stick to for the rest of your life.

    Potatoes are getting such a bad rap from posts like this. I'm enjoying all the potato love on here today. Potatoes are not the devil.

    This!^

    A low carb lifestyle would never work for me. The "lifestyle" approach helps you transition into maintenance. You don't want to lose weight and then have to start over by having to figuring out what your new lifestyle is.

    We don't normally see potato threads everywhere......it's April fool's day.

    Were they deep fried or baked?

    Which reminds me...I have some baked bananas w/honey in the frig...

    Hi Cathy, welcome to the site!

    I think you were definitely misinformed: MFP actually stands for "My First Potato," where we convert all Atkins and Keto lovers alike to the great world of potatoes.

    Hop on the "Spudnik" and enjoy the ride!

    Friend me if you like!

    Potatoes are good. you want low carb, ditch the bagels, white bread, regular pancakes and waffles. Stick with whole grains, lots of veggies ad fruits, and lean proteins.

    potatoes cant hurt you :drinker: or if they can god help us all:noway:

    I for one welcome our new potato overlords.
  • I'm not going to go into full-on nerd rage because people are posting potatoes. I will say this though, I came here because I'm diabetic. Even small portions of potatoes spike my blood sugar badly. This person may be in the same boat. To say low carbs is bad really doesn't help because I can't eat any other way or I will die. So yeah, there's that. That being said. POTATO!!!

    I came to this site because I heard it was a really good way to count my carbs. But today all I see is POTATO everywhere?

    I came to this site looking for some support for my new low carb lifestyle change and instead I am being ASSAULTED by potatoes, which everyone knows are not only full of carbs but they are the second worst KIND of carb because they basically turn into sugar immediately in your system.

    I have a sugar and carb addiction and I cannot lose weight if I am constantly thinking about potatoes!

    Then change your thoughts! LOL Potatoes WILL NOT kill you. OMG................LMAO

    Potatoes are getting such a bad rap from posts like this. I'm enjoying all the potato love on here today. Potatoes are not the devil.

    I don't know who would tell you it was a good place to count carbs because it doesn't allow for fiber. And its for everyone wanting to lose weight no matter how they are doing it - not just lowcarbers.

    You can count fiber, just change one of the drop down menus under diary settings. That said

    Today is April Fools- the potato threads might die down tmrw :P

    I suspect this is a troll account also in honor of April Fool's Day.
