Is Potato a really bad option for weight loss?

I know it will be surprising for many of us, but yes, it is not a bad option.

Potatoes are always considered as unhealthy because of its high energy and calorie content. On the contrary, white potatoes are rich in starch (complex carbohydrate, good for weight loss), Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and fiber.

So, keep enjoying potatoes but in moderate quantity and in boiled forms.
