Any Q

Can eating potatoes make you fat? Both potatoes and rice are complex carbohydrates and if eaten in moderation will not make you fat. They can, however, cause weight gain if they are cooked with butter, margarine, cream or any other fatty substance, instead of just boiled in water.


Why do I gain weight when I eat potatoes?

Potatoes have a medium glycemic index, and only a high amount of it will lead to a spike in the sugar level. It is also believed that the starch content in the vegetable leads to weight gain.

How much weight can you gain from potatoes?

Weight gain and potatoes work well together, maybe even better than butter and potatoes -- or oil and potatoes in the case of French fries. Such seems to be the suggestion of new research concluding that a daily extra serving of spuds, no matter the form, adds up to 1.3 pounds over the course of four years.
