Potatoes

Recommended Posts

Hello I recently started the whole 30 program. I am curious about the addition of potatoes. The way I understand it one of the goals of this program is to reduce inflammation. Potatoes, especially russet, have high GI index numbers. Wouldn't this be a bad thing to have during the diet?

Here's a fb post with some of the reasoning: https://m.facebook.com/Whole30/posts/671357376274517

But everyone gets to make choices based on their own personal experiences/goals. Potatoes might not be appropriate for sedentary or metabolically challenged folks. If you don't want to eat them, that's fine. roasted potatoes as part of a meal with other veggies, protein, and fat affect the body differently than chips eaten as a snack as far as the glycemic response to a meal.
