Why do you need to eat lunch?

Will you lose weight eating baked potato?

  • No, not usually. If they are fried or roasted then no. Boiled potatoes are better but all potatoes, however, contain a lot of starch, which the body can use for energy very easily. Therefore, if you have too many potatoes that energy will be easily converted to fat for storage, so don't go pigging out on potatoes.
  • Yes, potatoes are great for a diet. Most people think they're too fattening and/or starchy, but that's just a myth (in my opinion). Potatoes are fairly low-calorie and have more potassium than the average banana.
  • No, potatoes are not considered a good food for weight loss. They are high carbohydrate and relatively high in calories. There are much better carbohydrate and calories bargains to be had. If you must include potatoes in your weight loss regime, use them sparingly or save them for the occasional treat.
  • No, potatoes are not good "diet food" if you have any degree of insulin resistance. This is because potatoes (a root vegetable) are high in carbohydrates, especially when compared to green (or non root) vegetables. Many overweight people have a degree of insulin resistance, often without being aware of it, and anyone who is obese is already significantly insulin resistant. There are much better carbohydrate bargains to be had than potatoes. Here is an example of the carbohydrate content of potato:
  1. Approx 59-63 carbohydrates in 1 large (3 - 4¼" diameter) baked potato with skin.
  2. Approx 37 carbohydrates in 1 medium (2¼ - 3¼" diameter) baked potato with skin
  3. Approx 30-34 carbohydrates in 1 medium (2¼ - 3¼" diameter) red baked potato with skin
  4. Approx 27- 30 carbohydrates in 1 small (1¾ - 2½" diameter) baked potato with skin.
  5. Approx 60 carbohydrates in 1 large (3 - 4¼" diameter) peeled, old, boiled potato.
  6. Approx 33 carbohydrates in 1 medium (2¼ - 3¼" diameter) peeled, old, boiled potato
  7. Approx 25 carbohydrates in 1 small (1¾ - 2½" diameter) peeled, old, boiled potato
  8. Approx 20 carbohydrates in 4 oz or 114g of new, boiled, potatoes.

, as well as an assortment of phytochemicals

, such ascarotenoids

and natural phenols. Chlorogenic acid

constitutes up to 90% of the potato tuber natural phenols. Others found in potatoes are 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid (crypto-chlorogenic acid), 5-O-caffeoylquinic

(neo-chlorogenic acid), 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic and 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acids.[58]

(45% of the Daily Value (DV)), 620 mg of potassium

(18% of DV), 0.2 mg vitamin B6

(10% of DV) and trace amounts of thiamin

, riboflavin

, folate

, and zinc

. The fiber content of a potato with skin (2 g) is equivalent to that of many whole grain breads, pastas, and cereals.

In terms of nutrition, the potato is best known for its carbohydrate

content (approximately 26 grams in a medium potato). The predominant form of this carbohydrate is starch

. A small but significant portion of this starch is resistant to digestion byenzymes

in the stomach

and small intestine

, and so reaches the large intestine

essentially intact. Thisresistant starch

is considered to have similar physiological effects and health benefits as fiber

: It provides bulk, offers protection against colon cancer

, improves glucose

tolerance and insulin sensitivity, lowers plasma cholesterol andtriglyceride

concentrations, increases satiety, and possibly even reduces fat storage.[59]

[60]

The amount of resistant starch in potatoes depends much on preparation methods. Cooking and then cooling potatoes significantly increases resistant starch. For example, cooked potato starch

contains about 7% resistant starch, which increases to about 13% upon cooling.[62]
