Most new diets come with complicated rules and lists of foods that you CAN and CAN'T eat. But this one is simple. And delicious.
A strange new study claims that simply "eating potatoes" could help you lose weight.
Potatoes DO have some vitamins and nutrients, but that isn't really the point. The idea is that potatoes are low in calories and FILLING, so eating potatoes could mean that you don't eat as much.
During the study, they replaced portions of people's meals with potatoes, mashed potatoes, potato wedges, potato salad, and scalloped potatoes.
One researcher said, "People tend to eat the same weight of food regardless of calorie content in order to feel full. By eating foods with a heavier weight that are low in calories, you can easily reduce the number of calories you consume."
