Here’s why a potato can help you stay full… but chips make you overeat and gain Weight.
A whole potato is full of fibre and water, which slow digestion and keep you full on very few calories.
Turn it into fries and it’s more processed.
Oil adds calories, salt boosts flavor, and the water is mostly gone — so it’s easier to overeat.
Turn it into chips and it’s heavily processed.
Thin slices, lots of oil, added flavors.
Almost no fibre, no water — just starch, fat, and a lot of calories in a small portion.
The more a food is processed, the easier it is to eat too much and still feel hungry.
Choose foods closer to their natural form.
Fuel your body — don’t fool your appetite.
