Turn the potatoes into resistant starch

Potato that has been cooked, refrigerated/frozen and reheated, the same for bread and pasta is resistant starch.

We have cut our potato portions down my more than half and increased the other veggies - works for us. The weight is slowly coming off and we are both pre-type 2 so the reduction in sugar is helping too.

We don't eat white rice or pasta either, much prefer wholegrain alternatives in smaller portions.

Also, both of us have increased our water intake to 2 litres a day.

Carrot and swede mash
Sweet potatoes

Polenta?

Chips!🤣🤣🤣

Try eddoes instead of potato. Like a potato but healthier and a slightly nutty taste.

Parsnips / Acorn or butternut squash / Aubergine / Sweet potato / Celeriac / Daikon /

Go green: Green beans for example - steamed and / or sautéed in a bit of extra virgin olive oil ..

Maybe Turnip?

I've given up potatoes too. Except on Sundays when my son comes for dinner.
My daily dinner, almost every day, is fish or chicken with lots of green veg. And sometimes a stew or casserole.
Chips are a rare treat. And I do have frozen ready meals on standby for when my back is particularly bad.
I'm trying to be low sugar at the moment too. So sweet potatoes, which I love, are out too.
Is life worth living?

My husband has just been diagnosed with Diabetes so instead of roast potatoes with Sunday roast I've been making roast cauliflower which is really yummy. Just toss in olive oil and add seasoning of choice, I find garlic granules and some cayenne tasty. Then roast broken up florets for 25 mins.

You don't have to cut any of those things from your diet in order to lose weight. You just have to eat less (of everything) and move more. In other words, burn off more calories than you take in. You don't need gimmicky diets, which are mostly there to keep someone in a job.
When my son was little, I lost weight eating Mars bars and crisps for lunch and normal meals the rest of the time. How? I couldn't drive at the time and his school was a mile away. The shops were a mile away in the opposite direction. Walking 4-6 miles a day did the trick.

Tongue in cheek. I know about resistant starch etc. does that make frozen chips from supermarket healthier ❓
