A study has found that potatoes can make people pile on the pounds while fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and yoghurt can help them stay slim.

The Harvard study for the first time details how much weight individual foods make people put on or keep off.

“The conventional wisdom is simply, ‘Eat everything in moderation and just reduce total calories’ without paying attention to what those calories are made of,” the Washington Post quoted Dariush Mozaffarian of the Harvard School of Public Health, who led the study, as saying.

“All foods are not equal, and just eating in moderation is not enough,” Mozaffarian explained.

From all the foods studied, potatoes stood out. It was found that every additional serving of potatoes people added to their regular diet each day made them gain about a pound over four years.
