AS YOU MAY HAVE GUESSED BY NOW I LOVE POTATOES. ITS FAIR TO SAY THAT THE FEELING IS MUTUAL AS MY INDULGENCE IN THE TUBER HAS HELPED ME TO GET MY HEALTH BACK.
POTATOES HAVE BEEN GETTING A REALLY BAD WRAP THESE DAYS.
ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT OBESITY AND FOOD AT SOME POINT BRINGS UP POTATO CHIPS OR FRENCH FRIES.
THOSE ARE POTATOES RIGHT?
WELL YES BUT LIKE MANY THINGS THAT ARE PURE NATURAL AND HEALTHFUL WE HAVE MANAGED TO FRY ALMOST ANY NUTRITION BENEFIT OUT OF THEM.
BUT LETS TALK STRAIGHT. IT AIN'T THE TATER ITS THE OIL.
IT AIN'T THE SPUD ITS THE LARD.
IT AIN'T THE RUSSET ITS THE BUTTER, CHILI, SOUR CREAM, CHEESE, EXCESSIVE SALT AND RANCH DRESSING THAT ARE AT FAULT.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE NUTRIFACTS THERE IS NO FAT IN POTATOES. POTATOES DON'T MAKE YOU FAT. YOU MAKE YOU FAT WHEN YOU FRY THEM IN OIL. ANY OIL. DID YOU KNOW THAT LARD AND OLIVE OIL HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF CALORIES PER POUND? THAT WOULD BE 4000 CALORIES PER POUND. SO STOP BLAMING MY GOOD FRIENDS FROM IDAHO/PERU AND…

It totally makes sense to me that you would be more productive and clear headed while eating a healthier diet. You are fueling your body and your brain, instead of burdening your organs and your brain with the task of cleaning all the poison out of your body, that is already working hard when you are unhealthy or overweight. I am happy to say that I have had very few migraines over the past few years, since I changed to a plant based diet. I am also glad to not have to pay for ridiculously expensive migraine medications. It is so incredibly empowering to see (and feel) the changes, that you have control over. Thanks for sharing your story:)
