Potatoes themselves are not fattening; it is what we put on them that makes them so fattening: butter, margarine, sour cream. By always ordering your baked potatoes plain and reducing the amount or changing the type of toppings you put on them, you can reduce your intake of dietary fat.
Some experts estimate that your diet is responsible for at least 40% and as much as 60% of your overall weight management program. Remember, your positive habits will result in a change to your lifestyle. As simple as this habit may sound, it is very powerful when combined with your other positive habits. Here are some tips for non-fat potato topping alternatives:
Non-fat sour cream
Salsa, make that medium or hot
Non-fat plain yogurt
Sprinkle of hot pepper sauce like Tabasco
Low-fat Italian salad dressing
Enjoy your potatoes without guilt....just watch what you put on them.
Bon Appetite
