Boiled potatoes are healthier than fried foods due to their lower cholesterol content. Boiled potatoes have a higher glycemic index (GI), so they more quickly trigger hunger than fries. Despite making hungry faster than fried potatoes, boiled potatoes remain healthier.
Sooner or absence of hunger emerges and is determined by the glycemic index (GI) of carbohydrates consumed in the first meal (first meal), for example, at breakfast. The higher the GI, the faster the food is processed in the body, so it more quickly triggers feeling hungry. In contrast, the low GI diet can maintain satiety longer because slowly digested.
