Now you’re thinking! :)
Don’t forget the dark chocolate that’s supposed to make us lose weight too. 😁

Same thing with pasta and rice.
you’d be better off eating the butter and bacon
Absolutely!
Yes. Rice can be prepared with 1T of coconut oil added to the water..cooked and cooled for +++ resistant starch and lower glycemic impact
Potatoes are beloved food for the best bacteria to have living in us. These bacteria in turn stabilize our moods and make them happier. They fight our immune battles with us. They keep our digestion working well.
However, quantity is a thing. You only need about half a cooked potato to feed the gut bugs daily, and you can even use only 2 tbsp potato starch mixed into your cold water or milk to cut down on carbs. If you are normal weight, have the whole potato or whatever form it’s in. But for people in a losing weight mode, 1/2 potato or just the starch in water is best.
Not if you’re an athlete.
I’ve read hundreds of studies and tried everything.
Ketosis is weak for a speed/strength athlete.
Health issues are still quite questionable via nutrition.
Check out this Kansas State Nutritionist’s study.

See, most truly raging alcoholics are thin...
I eat potatoes every day to GAIN WEIGHT. Chicken, turkey, or beef plus steamed veggies for dinner. Healthful, but not enough calories without potatoes.
While I enjoyed Jack, he was insane.
Calories in v out matters most, I like to enjoy life as well.
I eat “paleo” 5 or 6 days a week. I have potatoes or whatever I want every once in a while. I’m in better shape than most 20 year olds, and have what is deemed an excellent blood profile.
I’m a fan of applying systems thinking and the Pareto Principle to life’s endeavors.
Ditto for me - I have a very limited diet due to a health issue and without either rice or potatoes at dinner, I lose too much weight.

LOL, I like that.
Dodge is made ram tough just like a womans reproductive organ
The potato is not the problem. It’s the salt, sour cream, butter, bacon bits and shredded cheese!
This is good. Went back on Weight Watchers last Friday. (Cholesterol above ranges) They now make it so potatoes, sweet and regular, are 0 points for me. Salsa is really good on baked potatoes. (JUST salsa, no creamy stuff)
