charstehr Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Just started Whole 30 - I have done my reading and have not found anything where it says you can have golden/white potatoes. My husband said he read differently and this is new that they are approved. Does anyone know the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted August 13, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yes, potatoes are allowed now -- it's a recent change in the last couple of weeks. Here's the information from the Can I Have guide: Potatoes: Yes! We changed the official Whole30 rules in August 2014 to include all varieties of potatoes—white, red, Yukon gold, purple, fingerling, baby, sweet potatoes, yams, etc. Feel free to boil, bake, roast, pan-fry, grill, microwave, or steam them, but no commercially prepared or deep-fried potato chips or French fries. (That’s completely against the spirit of the Whole30.) Tip: White potatoes pack a whole lot of energy into a relatively small package. If you’re overweight, insulin-resistant or otherwise metabolically challenged, and not very active, you don’t need a lot of extra energy on your daily plate. If this is your context, use white potatoes sparingly in your Whole30 meal plan, if at all. Plus, if you eat mashed potatoes with every dinner, you’ll miss out on a world of colorful, nutrient-dense vegetables to explore. Bust out of your potato rut and discover a newfound love of Brussels sprouts, asparagus, or kale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
