Potatoes and Slimness - Unexpected Truth from an Expert

Potatoes and Slimness - Unexpected Truth from an Expert

Potatoes have long been considered an enemy of a slim figure, but is this really true? Famous nutritionist Olga Redina revealed the whole truth about this popular vegetable.

According to the expert, despite its high glycemic index and ability to raise blood sugar levels, the caloric content of potatoes remains relatively low. The key factor is the cooking method.

"Carbohydrates only become a problem when consumed in excess," emphasizes Redina. Baked or boiled potatoes with skin are significantly healthier than fried or processed into chips.

Interestingly, potatoes are rich in fiber, which:

- improves digestion

- reduces appetite

- provides long-lasting satiety

The secret to successfully incorporating potatoes into a diet lies in properly combining them with other foods. The expert recommends consuming them with lean meat and healthy fats, such as olive oil.

The specialist's main conclusion: you shouldn't completely exclude potatoes from your diet when trying to lose weight. It's more important to monitor overall caloric intake and maintain a balanced diet.
