Healthy Food Chart

For years now the poor little potato has been put down by most diet programs, especially by low-carb plans. It’s time for me to speak up. Guess what? You can eat that potato and be healthy and yes you can even lose weight, even though you’ve been told that it makes you fat!

But let me qualify. I’m talking about a real potato not French fries here. And I’m not saying you should literally smother it with sour cream, butter and bacon bits either. (Personally I enjoy putting on a dollop of Fage 0% fat yogurt and some salt and pepper on mine). I’m also suggesting a small serving size, about three ounces. To balance blood sugar eat your small potato with about three-four ounces of lean protein like chicken, fish or lean meat and a cup of so of healthy veggies. Eat your potato as part of a healthy balanced meal and this starchy vegetable can be a healthy addition to most diet plans.
