Is eating boiled potato good for weight loss?
My mother used to say boiled potatoes are very healthy, but I'm trying to lose weight now. Is eating boiled potato good for weight loss, or does it have too many carbs?

I used to completely avoid potatoes, but my endocrinologist said boiled potatoes in moderation are fine. If you have thyroid or metabolic issues, keep checking your thyroid levels and consult your doctor before banning any food group.

Potatoes get a bad reputation, but boiled and cooled potatoes actually have resistant starch which is good. With PCOS, I just make sure to pair them with veggies or curd to avoid blood sugar spikes.

Aaloo is life, haha! Boiled potato is actually very low in calories if you don't mash it with butter and cheese. So yes, enjoy your potato without the guilt.

Boiled potatoes are super filling and delicious with some chaat masala! Just keep the portions controlled and enjoy them guilt-free on your weight loss journey.

If you track it on your app, a medium boiled potato has only around 110-120 calories. It is super satiating and ranks highest on the satiety index. Just weigh it before eating to be precise.

Look, potato itself is not the enemy, the oil we fry it in is the enemy. Boiled potato with a little salt and curd is perfectly fine for weight loss. Just don't eat potato chips and call it diet.
