3. Potatoes
They are widely regarded as one of the main foods to avoid when in a no-carb diet or any diet with the purpose of losing weight. However, the actual reason might seem unclear for many. There is the general belief that vegetables are good for your health, so they can’t actually make you fat. However, potatoes of all kinds, including sweet potatoes and other variants of the like, are often cast aside when in a no-carb diet.
And the reason behind it is that potatoes, as many tuberculate, are high in starch. Starch is a heavy carbohydrate, which means that it has big, heavy, long molecules that are basically chains of sugar. Starch is a good source of energy because one molecule can be broken down to many bits and used up, so the body uses starch as a way to store carbs in your liver.
