But let me be clear, I’m not talking French fries or chips. I’m talking about a cooked, cooled potato (yes, even white potatoes) that’s packed with something magical: resistant starch.
Resistant starch resists digestion (hence the name), feeds your good gut bacteria, helps produce butyric acid, and even promotes fat burning. Add to that the fact that potatoes are loaded with fiber, a key player in helping you stay full—and you’ve got the perfect food to help curb cravings and support fat loss.
So when you eat a cooked-and-cooled potato, you stay full for hours. And that means you’re not constantly reaching for snacks or overeating.
Pro tip: skip the oil and keep it simple.
Please stop fearing carbs, especially if you’re trying to build strength. After a workout, carbs refuel your glycogen stores, which helps you recover better and train harder next time. That’s when I eat my carbs, post-workout, to prep for the next round.
And about keto? Look, keto can help you burn dietary fat, but that’s not the same as burning stored body fat. If your goal is to build muscle and burn fat, you need to fuel smart, not restrict everything.
Bottom line: Potatoes aren’t the enemy. Carbs aren’t the enemy. The real hack is knowing when and how to use them.

Nope 😅😅😅. Potatoes turn into sugar for the diabetic. Bad, very bad
what about legumes? I hear mixed things but eating them for a few meals a week helps me stay within budget on groceries now that food is so expensive.
