only if you eat them...

No, it's not bad.  Olive oil is one of the healthiest cooking fats - but it is also a great moisturizer.  Replenish your skin with those essential fatty acids as much as you can - at mealtime and after a shower.\n\nFew people really understand how very important healthy fats are to the human machine - you are doing yourself a great service.  Now if you can just drink enough water too, you will be in excellent shape!

No, because it depends on WHAT you eat.  Fats, carbohydrates and proteins all have different caloric values. \n\nYou may be one pound heavier INITIALLY after eating one pound of food but once your body starts breaking down everything the actual contents of the food will dictate weight gain.  Remember that 1 pound is equal to 3500 calories.  So it all depends on what you eat.\n\nOne pound of raw vegetables does not equal one pound of sweets.  The pound of sweets has a much higher caloric value and will contribute to the 3500 threshold needed for weight gain of another pound.  Does that make sense?

stick to white food.  Potatoes, breads, sugars, cheese.

Two things:\nFirst, cut simple carbs (sugary stuff, white flour products, potatoes, etc.)  The more you cut, the more fat you'll burn.\nSecond, Eat your last meal (or snack)  at least 3 hrs. before you go to bed.  The longer, the better.  Some have stopped eating at 3 pm. w/ great results.

Cut all processed food and watch the weight fly off! In other words, shop only on the outer rim of the Supermarket :). Eat veggies, fruit, unprocessed meat, low fat dairy. Stay AWAY from white sugar, white flour, corn syrup. If you can't hunt it or gather it, don't eat it! I lost 30 lbs eating this way. You would be amazed how much better you feel once you cut out sugar and white flour! You will have much more energy. Substitute your sugar intake with Stevia (300X sweeter than sugar) and no calories or carbs! It is natural and does not raise the glycemic index. Good LUCK!!

Yes, exercise, eating more fruits and vegetables and stay away from fried foods.\nAlso don't eat butter or use a salad dressing that contains fat.\nREAD ALL LABELS at the grocery store before you make a purchase.  Staying healthy starts at the store....have a peek at the fat grams on some of the items for sale - it will astonish you.

It all depends on who you ask.  \n\nPotatoes definitely, especially white potatoes.  No matter how you prepare them, they are very high carb and can keep you craving carbs if you eat them too often.\n\nSome say avoid avocados because of the fat content.  I say they're loaded with healthy nutrients, and better an avocado than a pint of Haagen Dazs if you need a special treat that is very satisfying.  \n\nAnd some, like South Beach diet, say limit fruits.  I don't have a problem with 2-3 servings of good fresh organic fruits a day, but be sure to eat whole fruits and not just drink the juice.  You need the fiber, and even too much natural fructose from juice sources can trigger carb cravings.

No and no. Many vegetable are actually better for you after they are cooked. The body can't break down some of the raw vegetables properly and you don't get all the nutrients. Spinach is a prime example.

Stay away from white potatoes, white pasta, red meat, and alcohol. Eat foods that are high in niacin or take niacin supplements.

You tweaked my curiousity and I've been trying to find out but so far no luck.  I think it has something to do with the heating process causing a change in the starch, converting it to sugar.  I hope someone answers who knows the answer for certain ... if you think about it, there is a similar change, though not quite as dramatic, in "regular" potatoes.

I do not suggesting eating McDonald’s you will just get yes fat but your cholesterol will be through the roof. If you are doing it for sports I suggest start doing a lot of weight lifting and start eating carbs like bread and pasta. Also eat fruits that will help with the carbs. And keep you cholesterol low.

Most of the carbs a diabetic gets should be slow digesting carbs like whole grains, fruits and vegetables.  Even those should be limited, but yes, they should be stretched out through the day.  Avoid things like white bread and cook potatoes with the skins on.  Never ever put uncooked potatoes in the refrigerator.  Refrigerating them turns the carbs directly into sugar and any benefits are lost.

my favorite is. filet it and drop it in a zip-loc bag with some potato flakes (instant mashed potatoes, idahoan for example) a little salt and pepper. cook till golden in shortening or oil.

No!!!! it will not make you fat...fat is necessary for proper body function. you need it to help cushion your organs, your brain uses it, it is a great source of energy, stores better than protein or carbs and if you work out and stay active, the fat will do its job and not build up. \n\nthe problem with fat isn't fat itself, like i said, it's needed. the problem is with saturated and trans fatty acids. those are the ones that you need to stay away from...the problem with trans fat (which is found in food that has been hydrogenated, like margarine..not to be confused with homoginized). the body does not make trans fat and has a hard time with digesting it and breaking it down so it is just stored. \n\nFat and oils contain many vitamins that the body needs. for instance, the best source of vitamin E is in oils like canola. \n\ni know that it seems like fat is scary and dangerous nad it can be as the body can basically make endless room for it and if it isn't properly used, then it can cause weight gain. so, just try to avoid foods with a lot of saturated fat. mono and poly unsaturated fat, if consumed correctly, are "good" for you and they will help to feed your brain.

STAY AWAY FROM FRIED FOODS, CHEESES, PNUT BUTTER ETC AS THESE ALL HAVE OIL. \nOPT FOR WHITE MEAT AS OPPOSED TO RED MEATS. EAT LOTS OF FRESH VEGGIES AND SALADS.
