baked potatoes make you fat??

[snagglepuss]

I just read that the baked potato is a high glycemic food - should I cut them out of my diet completely? I always thought they were a good concentrated source of carbs. For those of you on low-glycemic diets but still trying to gain weight, where do you get your calories?

it does'nt matter if your spuds are baked, mashed, fried or cut into stars, they are still going to be a source of high gi carb, althought the fat from frying would lower it somewhat and other factors.

have sweet tattors, they are smashing baked like crisps.

Sweet Potatoes also take longer to digest so you'll also feel fuller longer.
