What happens to the body if a person stops eating potatoes for a month?
Clinical nutritionist Prachi Jain said avoiding potatoes can reduce extra calorie intake and help prevent weight gain. Dietitian Shivani Arora said that potato starch may cause rapid blood sugar spikes, so skipping it could help regulate glucose. However, Arora noted that potatoes provide key nutrients like vitamin C, B6 and potassium, and cutting them without replacements may cause deficiencies.
