Potatoes are such a popular and sought-after product in our culinary tradition that it is almost impossible to imagine a diet without them.
In the Belarusian national cuisine there are many original dishes where the main role belongs to potatoes.
But in the process of fighting excess weight, you should give up most dishes if you want to become a slim person one day. And if everything is clear with potato pancakes, mashed potatoes and fried potatoes, then the boiled product seems quite healthy.
The fact is that potatoes have a fairly good composition, which is why we actively include them in our diet. But during the period of fighting excess weight, even boiled potatoes should be avoided, experts believe.
What is this connected with?
These are almost "pure" carbohydrates.
The chemical composition of potatoes seems rich only because the peel is also taken into account during analysis. And we do not eat it.
Therefore, practically only starch remains.
That's why many nutritionists classify potatoes as regular carbohydrates rather than as vegetables.
Provoking diabetes
If you eat boiled potatoes on a regular basis, then just because of this habit you can get diabetes.
Therefore, you should not get carried away with this side dish if you are overweight or have a predisposition to the disease.
Overeating
Despite the fact that boiled potatoes are considered a side dish, they will not really satisfy your hunger. You will simply "fill" your stomach with a starchy product, but in a couple of hours you will be hungry again.
