Eating potatoes promotes weight loss in adults.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that eating potatoes promotes weight loss in adults?

Partly. One randomized feeding trial reports that a low-energy-density diet incorporating potatoes promoted weight loss in insulin-resistant adults, and a second potato-diet trial enrolled overweight adults but reports no body-weight outcome. A case report describes weight loss achieved while cutting down on starchy foods including potatoes, so the evidence covers only part of the claim and points both ways.
