Recently a Harvard study concluded that potatoes are bad for those wanting to lose weight and be healthy. But is this true and accurate? Or another example of shoddy "science?" Well, if we are discussing French Fries, Potato Chips, and the standard versions of mashed, boiled and baked potatoes (covered with cheese, butter, bacon and sour cream) then yes, the potato looks like "bad news." However, if we are talking about the plain old baked potato (which the FAO/WHO dedicated 2008 to the potato because of its nutritional and economical value), then no, this study has no impact on that.
I did that for 6 months and lost about 70 pounds(we no exercise). It has changed my life forever, it is incredible that my body only craves whole food(mostly rice and potatoes)! I went from 251 lb to 180 lb. I feel amazing. Unbelievable!
holy shit im guna copy u
Did you do the cook cool method?
Yeah you probably lost a ton of muscle mass lo, That's the dumbest thing I ever heard
@Madeleine Grayson awesome!
@@jonpappas3890 Only thing dumb is your comment loser
I actually ate potatoes for two years, just because I was dirt poor and wanted to buy something cheap that had all the nutrients I would need. I was not only fine, it was the healthiest I've felt in my entire life. Now I eat a more varied diet with beans and vegetables and rice, but I sometimes I go back to only potatoes just because I enjoy the way they make me feel.:) That's my experience with it, and I would suggest anyone try it for awhile just to see how it changes them.
How is your health these days? What is your body composition like?
When I was a child between the ages of 9 and 10, my family was suffering financially and we literally lived on a 100 pound sack of white potatos during a cold Montana winter. We fried, baked, mashed, chipped, and ate them raw. We made mock stew with potatoes with a can of corn. To this day I love potatoes any which way I can get them! We didn't starve, and we didn't rue another meal of potatoes! They, for us, during that long cold winter, were indeed a comfort food.
Wow after going through that many potato's when you were a child I thought you would have hated them, someone in your household must have been a great cook, LOL.
If I may ask, how long did you go for just on potatoes?
Potatoes and butter
@Azathoth Hastur picked a winner, huh.
I love stories like this 💕
my grandmother lived in germany during the depression and had nothing but potatoes for 10 years. she continued to eat them in better times.
She had literally nothing but potatoes?
that's the story I was told 40/50 years ago@@rachelcoleman4693
@@rachelcoleman4693I doubt that as well, with all due respect. However, the German populace during WW2, not sure which "Depression" they are referring to, were on much stricter rations than even the British. They were making black bread which is not tasty at all and eating fallen horse carcasses on the streets. So I have no doubt the majority of her food came from potatoes.
It would be like having rice as a major part of the meal in China or Japan. But even the Irish had greens or butter milk to help fill out the diet. And of course anything they could catch to eat.
Even hardcore potato dieters will use at least sweet potatoes, which is not even a potato to help with missing nutrients.
@@rachelcoleman4693 Her grandmother also walked to school all during the winter, uphill in both directions to and from school.
Potatoes are so good! I know he is telling the truth because I wanted to lose weight and not only did I lose weight but I gained energy and never had a problem with a bowel movement. Praise God for potatoes! God bless you Dr. McDougall!!
Nice to not be hungry all the time. Putting starches, including potatoes as the primary food has helped me stop craving food. I never thought I'd be able to say that. I'm a very sick, lifetime food addicted woman. Healthier than ever and glad to be 80, I'll take it.
Fucking awesome
@@championvillager7328 ... Ha ha!
Did you successfully do this after menopause?
Nice😊
Should we put butter on the potato? Spices or something?
John McDougalls been around for years and years like back in the 80's when I was 5 years old. So this guy is legit, backed by science. Good guy
+Sklin ive been telling the ladies , ive been 35 for the last ten years.
S@)^
Iv been killing people since you were five so im a good guy cause iv been doing it for years and year
I was around in the 80s too so I'm legit.
D-Nugget No. charlatan. Idiot.
For 4weeks I have been on a potato and veggie diet. I love it and I have lost weight and inches. I am not tired of it at all❤️
Yes veggies and potatoes. This is what I’m doing: kale smoothies, tons of raw celery,
salads with raw zucchini, cucumber, celery, steamed broccoli, next day potatoes, (gold and sweet) spaghetti squash. Barleans Flax oil in salad as needed. Lots of pink salt, coffee, medicinal herbal tea, stevia. No fruit or grains as I’m reactive.
God is healing my digestive system. It about shut down after the virus but it’s waking back up and healing. 🙏🏼
watching this while eating potatoes
+Agatha Chandler hell yeah!
lol same
me too
me too
Me too lol
If you limit yourself to all you can eat potatoes🥔 and veggies 🌶 you simply can not over eat or gain weight, it’s really fabulous
I know this is a old comment but i wanted to ask if you used seasonings? And how about butter?
@@billwilliams9897 Yo Bill, I'll tell ya one thing that has worked for me is using "Smart Salt" or "Salt Lite" it's 50% less sodium and tastes EXACTLY the same as salt. It actually includes some helpful minerals like potassium as well. Also, instead of regular butter I have used organic avocado butter. MUCH better for you than traditional butter. Tastes great too! Hope this helps!
@@matocaster NoSalt is almost pure potassium. I have been using NoSalt for years in making my own electrolyte drinks. But you do have to be a little careful with it. Like for potatoes for instance.... they are also very high in potassium, so if you use NoSalt on them you could almost overdose yourself on potassium. Vegans and Vegetarians actually need salt to help balance out the potassium ratios. Because sodium draws water into the cells and potassium pumps water out of the cells, and you need magnesium to make that pumping action work. And our body has to have chloride from salt to make stomach acid. People who eat high carbs must limit sodium, because carbs ...just like sodium make the body store excess fluid. For every gram of carbs the body stores...it also stores 5 grams of water.
@Justin I definitely need for my taste to reset, and I love vegetables. I'm going to have to learn how to eat all over again and learn new foods to get adequate fat from plants. Because when I work outdoors in cold weather I feel like I'm freezing to death when I just eat fruit and vegetables. Peanut butter has helped.
Absolutely 100% true!
Ever tried boiled potatoes cold, refrigerated over night?🤯 so good 👍
"potaytah"
Moslapis Play i love his accent
I just spit my food out
@@abcdefghijklomop3414 There are potatoes on the walls now
'Scuse my ignorance as a Brit/Aussie, but just what is wrong with potaytah, that's how I say it, and where is this US accent from??
Carole von Aarberg Hello from a Southern Louisiana girl! Nothing wrong with this pronunciation! I’m not sure exactly where the doctor is from but his pronunciation is definitely a Southern US accent. There are many accents in the South but many say potaytah.
Dr. McDougall has made a great change in my life. I feel so much better. No constipation problems and more anymore. I still struggle at times but when I keep watching Dr. McDougalls post it really helps me to get back on track. I wish I would have known this earlier.
💞
I can't live without potatoes .
potatoes saved Europe!! potatoes beans rice baby im hot for this !!!
eat potatoes every day
+matchbox555 me too- without any fat and any salt it is so tasty! So satisfying, and really healthy!!!
+clair blue I like to boil them for 20 minutes
TATERS PRECIOUS
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!
Sbeast ... “and it will cause you to be a healthier you”...🎸😂🤣👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎹
Potatoes rule in the plant based kingdom!
200 years ago Irish live on potatoes..Thats all they had too
+minty mode that's because of starvation and not nutrition dumbass..
ok.. nice comeback i guess..?
+SkateVidz still did it
+SkateVidz what does it mean to live on food but not nutrition? If the potato lacked proper nutrition, would the Irish have survived?
your body can feed on its self to a degree just because your eating a food does not always mean its beneficial hell you can eat candy and rice and technically survive but your body will hate you there is no dietary need for carbohydrate tats a actual fact your body has enough glucose to run by its self..
If anybody would have told me last year before June 26, 2017, that I would lose 70 pounds and completely have my diabetes 2 in remission and throw away my insulin pen and pill by eating my tater salad - I would have not believed it. Here I am, 5/25/2018, on Dr. McDougall's starch based diet, 70 pounds lighter and diabetes 2 in remission without drugs and insulin shots celebrating Starchiversary next month LOL
What do you eat?
The Tater Cowgirls ...thank you so much for your good information did you stay on your medicine while you did the starch-based diet❓much thanks👍🏻
What else did you eat, I want to try this
Could you let me know if you stayed on your medicine while you lost weight please...
congratulations!
I know this is a discussion on potatoes, but what about beets? I mix potatoes, beets, and carrots along with some spices, olive oil, and minced garlic in a bowl and cook them. 👌 good stuff
I started making a soup that is so easy and so cheap. Carrot potatoes celery tomato basil garlic simmer with a little water (not too much bc you want it to be thicker and you get a lot of juice from the tomatoes) puree about 1/4 of it and mix it back together. I add chopped spinach into the bowl after i reheat it. I make a big batch every sunday and it is my lunch everyday and has been for probably close to 6 months lol. I also have been eating a sweet potato at dinner just about every night too and i am far from tired of either. They are so good and so affordable and so satifying. Ive noticed that I just dont eat meat anymore. Was never my intention. I also have lost 10-15lbs but probably bc my portions are in control but i absolutely owe that to none other than potatoes! Yay potatoes! lol :)
Sounds delicious.
You know I was on an all starch/vegan diet and it was the best I felt or looked in my life. All of a sudden after 5 years the diet stopped working for me. I started gaining weight, I felt life I was becoming allergic to my food. For years I looked for something that would help me feel like the vegan diet used to. It wasn't until recently that I learned about GMO's. Now I'm back on a vegan, organic, GMO free diet. I feel like I found the missing puzzle piece. I feel better than ever.;)
How do u know if ur food or potatoe is gmo
Were you able to lose the weight you gained?
This is truly amazing because for me potatoes have always been my Achilles heel (or so I thought) but now I see my body knew what it needed the most all along . Potatoes truly make me happy in a way no other food could ever
I have always loved love loved white rice and never had it growing up in my parents typical american household. Even in adulthood living on my own I still didnt eat it that often because I was taught by my parents and media that it would make me fat. After finding out about Dr. McDougall from my wife I now eat white rice all the time and I feel great. Its a comfort food to me and makes me feel good, what can be better than that???
You would see even more benefits from brown rice
Potatoes
definitely not as nutritious as potatoes
White rice is not something anybody should be eating. That's equivalent to eating white bread. EAT WHOLE GRAINS. You probably have several vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
You will prob get diabetes get tested and see
Potatoes are a miracle
potatoes are the bomb

I love Potatoes since childhood. Most delicious and nutritious food. Thank you doctor John.
I started eating baked potatoes every day recently. So good and cheap. Bought a 5lb bag for $2.
just love your diet program ,it makes real sense.
Dr Hindehede in Denmark did similar experiments even earlier. One of his subjects lived on potatoes for a year. The experiment was supervised by 5 doctors, all specialists, of the staff of the medical school where Hindehede worked. They reported the subject, a young man named Madsen, stayed in good health and showed no loss of strength or muscle tissue even though he did manual labor as a janitor at the school and as a farm hand on his brother's farm.
The doctor's work bore fruit in WW1 when he was in charge of food rationing for Denmark. He put the country on a vegetarian diet of mostly potatoes, black bread, barley porridge, cabbages, and whatever fruit and vegetables grow in a northern climate, with limited amounts of eggs and milk. During this period of time the death rate fell to the lowest ever recorded in Europe. Diseases like heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, hardening of the arteries fell by 30% to 40% and were still falling when the experiment ended.
Thank you.
A similar diet was done in Norway and the rates of death from spanish flu were a fraction of elsewhere in the world.
🙏
@@jason6848👏
Do you know if Madsen had any fat in his diet, or did he eat only plain boiled or baked potatoes?
I am on day 15 of the potato only cleanse and have lost 14.8 pounds. No real exercise other than walking about 6500 steps per day (at work).
How many were you eating per day?? Congrats!
No such thing as a potato cleanse
@@bangroad4059 Says you
I'm on day 5 and have already lost 2kg which is about 4 1/2 pounds. Amazing!
@@rosalyn1957 Way to go!!!!
Just tried the loaded baked potato skins from Forks Over Knives for the first time today. OMG it's sooooooo good. Can't wait to try their Shepherd's Pie now which also looks amazing.
My own experience confirms what the good doctor is preaching. Feel the best when I eat potatoes.
I grew up basically on Starches. We were not wealthy & we rarely had animal protein... except for Bacon... which I loved...still do... but Corn has always been my Fave Starch & I stopped eating Starches cause of the "carbs" are BAD. & Paleo this & Keto that... I got whip lash! I was browsing UA-cam & ran into a video on Resistant Starches... which I had run into 4 orb5 years ago but didn't pursue it. BUT HERE & NOW, I was led toner McDougal & I feel like a kid in a candy store... and he doesn't Nix Salt & Sugar!!
I am feeling such changes in my mood, my cravings feeling a lot better . I hope the Joint benefits kick in Sooner rather than later!
I am reading Dr McDougalls book, The Starch Solution & It is SO LIBERATING! TY,
DOC!
I love potatoes, and I love the McDougall plan. Thank-you, Dr. McDougall, for giving me permission to eat lots of potatoes.
My father is 95 years old He is in good health .Still walking without walker. Doing everything for himself without help. All his life he eats potatoes several times a day. He doesn't like vegetables and fruits.Just onions and potatoes.Little bit meat. And kefir. It is all.
Sometimes a simple or mono meal diet is better than a whole bunch of shit mixed up lol.
Thank you for sharing. How does you father prepare the potatoes?
Kefir is probiotic
Dairy kefir or water?
@@krayziejerry the dairy one tho dairy not really in my diet but for mood ive read a lot about kefir helping as probiotic. Red onion i believe firmly in its power as prebiotic. My mood felt good after red onion in my salad, now i crave it.
ok I will tell you this on april 3rd 2018 I weighed 223, now I'm 6'6" so I wasn't fat but I wanted to lose some weight and lower my cholesterol june 3rd I weighed 190 and in a few days I will see what my cholesterol is and after the 3rd day I had no problem eating potatoes every day
How much you weigh now
I recently discovered and tried purple sweet potatoes, and now they're my fave post-workout food ! Really easy to prepare, too.
Wow i will copy this. Does potatoe hve protein?
@@edss7778 a little
@@edss7778yes. But make sure to eat kale smoothie and other greens will have protein. We don’t need as much as marketing says we do. We do however need to continue to strengthen our muscles to keep them ✌️
Thank you for this video and for all the good work you do.
I love potatoes.
I think i'll have a baked potatoe for dinner!
I am a potato
looking like one too lol
hot
I love potatoes. Always have. Lost weight when I included them.
Well spud it means you can have more than 2 eyes.
Pretty cute potato.
I went somewhat same experience. I had only 100 lb potatoes I gleemed from a farmer who allowed us to gleem the field free. You find interesting ways to prepare them. Most of the time I ate them in French fry form with ketchup(which a friend gave me). I even ate them with mustard, again I was given that bottle. I had run out of ketchup. I still love potatoes & I still eat french frys.
THANKS DOC I LIKE THAT U PRACTICE WHAT U PREACH
Potatoes are so great! Nothing like a good bake potato with the skin.
Started a potato diet 4 days ago and it’s so satisfying! Only downside is serious gas/Bloat... gym workouts are on point!!
I'm going to do a 14 day potato diet... should be interesting
Its awesome
Avoid the diet. It should be a lifestyle.
@@eara8426 wtf bro?
@@namir5943 Don't treat it as a diet but a lifestyle. When you change your eating habits it should be permanently.
Potataytahs rule! :)
I'm a diabetic. I tried this potato diet and my glucose shot through the roof. If I continue to follow the McDougal plan and eat things like potatoes and rice, I fear it will kill me.
Ketogenic diets focuses on reducing carbohydrates and avoiding high glycemix foods perfect for diabetics
What about Brown rice? Can you eat that without it glucose shooting up?
Exactly right
@@Jb-ky1ri no
Do Dr Brooke Goldners diet to heal. Then it will train your metabolic health back to normal so you can eat potatoes again.
yup, I'm eating potatoes while watching this! boiled and mashed with the water from the boiled potatoes and a wee bit of salt. yeah, I love salt!
i just bought 2 bags of potatoes because of him =].
Grow your own
I love Potatoes...right from childhood...instinct always kept me from not listening to the worlds garbage and continue eating them.
I remember the whole Carbs phobia time quite well. The distinction that probably was never made was between processed carbs and more natural carbohydrates. There was, at one time, a widespread fat phobia (probably still is). I once had an argument with a doctor about the benefit of avocadoes. When you think about it what did our species have to eat for thousands of years? I suspect the vast majority of foods available were carbohydrates. But we need a variety of foods got optimal health.
Thanks for sharing.
they used a potato even for the camera!
Dr Mc Dougall, please tell some of us the correct ways to prepare potatoes. Many do not know to remove stem and eyes, cut off any greenish parts that are toxic...I agree they are a super food. I just think people need this info. Thanks!
Dont waste your time he never answers questions.
@@kbkesq can you please mention the website and the App name ?
Off course if you go on all potatoes, you will utilize all the calories you get from that.
But that's unusual. People normally eat potatoes with a lot of proteins and fat. That's when it becomes problematic.
So cut back the fat and protein
He said they added oil.
Still healthier then eating junk food tho thats why i never feel bad when i eat high carb foods Real Food
@@emh8861 ... He also said that adding the oil diluted the value of the potatoes. They didn't know any better, but now you and I know better. We also know that adding oil, interferes with glucose entering the cells, thereby instigating T2 diabetes/insuline resistance, etc. Pick a starch (potatoes or?) and add colorful vegetables. That's the McDougall plan. Don't need to complicate it or reinvent it. Eat when hungry and stop when reasonably full (satisfied.) I'm reminding myself too. Good luck.
potato and water is what is good, u genius
Your brilliance shines for all to see.
So insightful!!!
This Summer I was at the farmers market. They had a bushel of potatoes that looked like they just got pulled out of the ground.
A tall woman said to the short woman. "these potatoes remind me of my husbands things." The short woman said, "really, that big?!"
The tall woman said "no - that dirty."
I LOVE McDougall!
interesting i think ive heard of this... so what about the 'methods' of how your 'cooking' certain foods?
frying?
microwaving?
baking?
grilling?
is theyre a best way to use one of these? or will it depend on type of food?
I eat baked potatoes 🥔 almost every day. I microwave them then add olive oil, butter, sour cream and green onions with a protein and a salad. I crave eating this way daily!
I've microwaved potatoes totally plain and eaten them whole with totally nothing (after cooling of course). It's great if hungry! And FAR cheaper and healthier than fast food fries.
I follow the starch solution. However the article mentions they also had butter, salt, sugar, pears and pork fat. Not exactly an accurate portrayal of the study...
Don't EVER expect truth from vegans. Veganism goes hand in hand with leftism and they are all pathological liars who want to hurt you.
He said they added fat and it didn't make it any more nutritious, just fattening.
Yep, I just read the study. Potatoes, along with a few fruits, pork fat and butter, also some coffee and tea.
I'm a Trump supporting Conservative and I'm trying to transition to veganism because I cant live with the level of suffering I'm causing to animals and their babies through my diet. A lot of conservative right wing Indians also avoid eating meat and harmfuly sourced animal foods for ethical reasons. Were not all left wingers. Yet I respect other people for whatever they are eating I'm here to love my neighbours and not judge them
I love the idea of the diet but the way Doc says “Pataytahs” drives me nuts
potatoes give me strength and wisdom, thank you potatoes
Saying "yes" to potatoes
Energy, micronutrients, versatility and just plain deliciousness make the case for potatoes to become part of a healthy diet. That's especially true when they're paired with foods high in protein and fiber and prepared in ways that capitalize on their zero-fat content.
These two recipes are a tasty place to start:
Low-calorie potato salad
1 pound potatoes, diced, boiled or steamed
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
1 large carrot, diced (1/2 cup)
2 ribs celery, diced (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill or 1/2 tablespoon dried dill
1 teaspoon ground black pepper|
1/4 cup low-calorie mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Combine dill, pepper, mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar in a small bowl, set aside. Combine potatoes, onions, carrots and celery in a large bowl. Spoon the dressing over the vegetables and toss until well coated. Refrigerate before serving.
Nutrition for 1 serving (3/4 cup): 77 calories, 14 grams carbohydrates, 2 grams fiber, 127 milligrams sodium, 1 grams total fat, 2 milligrams cholesterol, 1 grams protein, 2 grams total sugars
Roasted potatoes with garlic and herbs
3/4 pound small (2-inch) white or red potatoes
4 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Heat oven to 400 F. Lightly coat a large baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, garlic, olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated with oil and spices. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the baking dish. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil, and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the covering. Turn potatoes and bake, uncovered, until they're soft and slightly browned, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl, mix with butter and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Nutrition for 1 serving (about 2/3 cup): 104 calories, 15 grams carbohydrates, 2 grams fiber, 103 milligrams sodium, 2 grams saturated fat, 4 grams total fat, 5 milligrams cholesterol, 2 grams protein, 1 gram total sugars
I live potatoes
The real question though is the long term effects if they were to continue the diet after 6 months
This comment aged well. @spudfit
I'd say Dr Mcdougall is doing well
Facts
Look up the man who ate nothing but potatoes and water for a year straight
Thanks for such a great video. I'd like to know your opinion on french fries made out a Air Fryer. Many thx
@The Skull Many Thx
exactly ! so many friends I have that learned new ways to cook with no oil and the foods taste better; we can use some butter because it is resistant to heat. i am not against potatoes, I said "to take 70-90 % of the calories from carbs with oxidized free radical oils is not a good idea" including fried potatoes - if they are boiled, steamed with some butter, then it's great...Nothing from what I've said 1 year ago was offensive to this presentation ! I love Dr Mc Dougall & Dr Fuhrman as well :)
potatuhs.....potatuhs..................potatuhs.......................................................potatuhs....potatuhs...........................................................................................................................................................potatuhs.
Potatoes are the superior vegetable for many reasons they will always be the better vegetable.
I have begun cutting down on oils since I wrote that comment above. I have lost weight and my pants fit me comfortably again. I feel better and my stomach is less irritated. My acid reflux has subsided significantly. I'm starting to believe in what Dr. McDougall has to say. For those who have doubts, just try it but try it by switching over slowly (or cutting back on fats slowly).
It's a matter of balance and quantity. Simple as that. Get in tune with your body. Live to perform. Your body gives you answers.
You can tell people to eat more fruits and vegetables all day, but the
truth is, most people will not do it, why? Because a huge salad will
not sustain your energy levels through the day, here is what I mean... I
literally took that message to heart "eat fruits and Vegetables" so I
will prepare myself a 3 pound salad every day, and right around two to
three hours latter, I was starving to death, at least I felt that way,
so what I did was to start incorporating starchy vegetables like,
Squash, Beans, Rice, Sweet Potatoes, Potatoes, Cassava, Plantains into
my diet, and when I did, I no longer had this problem because these
foods will sustain me and more importantly, "THESE FOODS WILL NOT MAKE
ME GO HUNGRY FOR AT LEAST SIX HOURS OF CONSUMING THEM"!!! Now, some
will hold you up more than others, energy wise, but take cassava, beans
and rice, or plantains for instance, every time I consume those, they
will hold me up anywhere from six to eight hours latter... So this is a
good way to convince people to eat more starchy foods, because they
hold your energy levels up and prevent you from going hungry for lots of
hours!!! Now, while I consume starchy foods, this only makes about 40
of my caloric intake, I also juice and consume around 128 fluid oz of
juice every day in order to increase my antioxidant intake, along with
the protein, vitamins and minerals, but most importantly, to increase my
pythochemical profile, why? Because if you eat only starches,
eventually all this starch running around your system will get converted
into fat, and two, THEY ARE NOT NUTRITIONALLY DENSE LIKE FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES... And last, healthy fats like real extra virgin oil, nuts
and seeds, avocados, and coconuts will help you suppress your appetite
and keep you feeling fuller for longer, what do you think??? By the
way, I fast every weekend, so what ever excess I consumed during the
week, will get burned off while water fasting only...
Yes, you are talking about the micro nutrients in green leafies and the macro nutrients in starchy vegetables or beans peas etc, we need both to sustain us but the potato is a vegetable that has all the amino acids and nutrients your body needs it is in fact a perfect food all by itself and starches do not turn into fats, they are burned by your liver which will always burn sugar or starches first and store fat from fatty foods such as nuts or avocado or oils so if you are to eat starchy veggies do not eat fatty foods with them
God dammit bobby, here I am watching McPotato again, I love John McDougall. I'd really rename him to Tony Starch mauahahaha...sorry.
LOL!!! Tony Starch!!!!!!!!!
If I remember correctly, in the book Born To Run, the Tarahumara Indians in the Siera Madres (some of the best endurance runners) live on a corn-based diet and drink lots of beer.
Potatoes are a great source of potassium. Most people don’t get enough of it.
No way jose
Someone made a comment to me about a week ago about how eating an apple or any fruit for that matter, and starchy vegetables, such as potatoes all turn into to sugar. This person, who is diabetic said he limits his consumption of these foods because of the high sugar. HOWEVER, within that same week, he had cupcakes. the next week, went out to lunch at an Italian restaurant, and the next day went out for a coffee crumb cake. Hmmmmmmm SMH
diabetics need to avoid fat+sugar; not sugar exclusively, however.
+James Marvosa cakes usually have white sugar and butter or oil, so it still better to eat a plain potato or a banana
who's wrong, and about what???
STOP MAKING ME CRAVE CARBS
Why? Carbs are good for you.
Brian Nichols Marketing brainwashed him
Okinawa's diet, where people lives more in the world, attested by science is 85% carbohydrates.
Potatoes 🥔
Why there good for you
Yes! Just started an all potato diet!
Thank you Officer Lahey!
Puh-tay-does,
(animal products don't)
Nice one!
Starch is an excellent economical food because it provides carbs, protein, vitamin, minerals, and fiber, GREATER THAN OUR HEALTH IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO EAT. David Perlmutter whines about this because of the carbs in potatoes but he is missing every other nutrient that makes the potato THE PERFECT FOOD.
Not really. Too many carbs
Mary McCabe yeah but no conversion to glucose nor insulin spike if eaten once chilled (starch resistant)
what type of potato was it? Russet, red, or sweet potato?
An interesting topic about potatoes and the starch benefits. subscribed. /cheers ScrapBongo
Not if your diabetic, he should get tested by the sound of it ha
Dont let the vegans fool you ->
''The diet consisted of potatoes, supplemented with
butter or pork fat with the addition of a few fruits (apples and pears); tea
or black coffee and sugar were also occasionally taken. The amount of fat
consumed was not accurately estimated, it varied from 120-150 g. daily.''
You cannot live without the fat soluble vitamins A,D,E,K.
Exactly what i was thinking! You beat me to it!
How do you prepare them?? Thanks.
When I was little I would only eat potatoes and corn! Who knew?
#Potatoes #Are #Friends #Not #Food #!!!
*Potatoes are one of my faves!* 😋😋
Mcdougall, if you really look into his dietary recommendations advocates a varied starch based diet with plenty of beans, grains, sweet potatos and a ton of vegetables. the Focus on starches in my opinion is an important concept, because it gives the general public a caloric base for their meals. Most impoverished people cannot afford organic produce for every single meal. Beans are traditionally eaten and are a great food source, i agree!

Potatoes are high in GI or glycemic index so I can't eat it :( once I ate a potato my sugar spikes and I crave for more food:(
+Barbie Lee then eat more potatoes.
+Jody Brennan +Jody Brennan until Im already full eating the very last bite of it? What if 1 hr later? Maybe il crave for more foods esp bad foods like bread?
Barbie Lee Why would you get hungry an hour later? Eat 3 or 4 potatoes in one sitting. They are only around 100 calories each. I eat about 6 or 7 potatoes everyday.
I find it very hard to believe that you would still be hungry after eating 4 potatoes. I'm a grown man and this fills me up for hours.
And when I get hungry later I eat again. I always eat when I'm hungry.
Eat raw.....
+Jody Brennan I tried eating poatoes by themselves and was still hungry but when I ate a big green salad with just one potato I was full much longer and the weight has been coming off. I will boil or bake carrots and poatoes with a spinich salad almost every day.i just hope I dont get bored with it.
