                                Boiled potatoes are one of the most satiating foods on the planet, ranking higher on the satiety index than beef, cheese, and even croissants. This fact forms a core principle of a short-term dietary plan known as the Mary's potato diet, developed by Mary and Dr. John McDougall.
