Are potatoes the cause of your weight woes? They might be. A new 20-year study says just exercising more and eating less will not solve your weight problems. Which supports what the Diet Solution program claims, it is not just how much you eat, it’s what you eat. In addition, bad carbs, like those in potatoes are, in large part, what makes us fat and keeps us fat. The worst offenders? French fries and potato chips. There is also evidence, in a separate study that any vegetable fried in oil over high heat causes cancer.
Harvard School of Public Health agrees with DSP–choosing fruits, good veggies like leafy greens over meats and starches keep us from gaining weight and are the best way to lose it.
Researchers say when people eat less starch and more high-fiber foods they displace highly processed foods in their diets and they lose weight or gain less. Exactly what the DSP teaches.
