I'm not a dietitian, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong... They're very starchy and high in carbs, and very low in protein. So you can eat tons of them and still not feel full.

I'm pretty sure chongli is correct about the plain boiled potatoes. How many can you eat before you're sick of them? It's easy to test for yourself, go peel and boil some potatoes right now.

  You are not proving him he is wrong. You are talking about a different phenomena: satiety is different from getting sick of something. If you reach satiety your body and brain won't want to eat more. If you are sick of something, you will just switch to something else.

  You will be surprised, but wont feel full from diet like that. Nor you will feel full from vegetables only. (I like potatos and used to eat them a lot, you wont feel good if you eat only them.)

Potatoes are actually one of the most satiating foods, especially compared to other staples. They are low in protein, but only have about 17g of carbs per 100g, with bread being almost 50g.

  That's surprising since there are plenty of studies that have found avoiding high-GI foods helps with weight loss https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0195666307002802 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01956... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0195666307003248 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01956... It could be that potatoes make you feel full short term, but people who overeat in the first place, left to their own devices, will eat more than they should In your first linked study for example, they say the participants were given isoenergetic portions and then saitery was measured 2 hours later, it wouldn't be surprising if that wasn't representative of longer term weight loss
