Potatoes & Sugar Are NOT The Same (Thread):

Potatoes are useful.

Potatoes will help you to gain muscle.

Potatoes will help you to stay full in a calorie deficit.

Sugar and/or junk food will do NONE of these things.

Some clarifications...

I shouldn't have to say this.

But it looks like there's some powerful brainwashing here on Twitter.

- I'm not saying obese people should eat 'high carb', obviously, so don't misinterpret what I'm saying

- I AM saying that potatoes are different to a bag of cookies

Next:

1) Potatoes Are Nutrient Dense, Calorie Sparse

This means you have to eat A TON of them to get loads of calories in.

No calorie surplus = no weight gain.

You didn't get fat from potatoes.

But junk food?

Oh yes, very easy to overconsume...

2) Potatoes Are Not Addictive

Eat a cookie, and you want another.

Eat a sweet potato, jacket potato or boiled potato, and you don't want anymore. You're full. You're done.

600 calories vs 300.

Which one is going to make you fat and/or ruin your metabolism?

Next:

3) Potatoes Are Highly Satiating

It's a combination of the fiber, and the actual volume they take up.

This makes them very useful when you're in a deficit.

You get the post-workout recovery AND satiation.

SATIATION is what gets you shredded long-term.

Next:

4) Potatoes Don't Give You An Energy Crash

Sandwiches do.
Cookies & junk do.
Chinese take-aways do.

But potatoes, when eaten with meat/fish and veggies, DO NOT.

(The only exception is if you really overdo the portion size).

Next:

Stop implying that potatoes are the same as a bag of sweets, and that all carbs are the same.

It makes you sound like a brainwashed muppet, incapable of thinking for yourself.

Instead, get on the ONLY Intermittent Fasting email list:

Then get a personalised meal plan, utilising:

- Carb timing
- Potatoes
- Other 'good' carb sources

And get to 10% body fat (WITHOUT losing muscle) like everyone else is doing:
