French Fries are fattening. The potatoes contain high percentage of carbohydrates or simply sugar you may say. further they are fried in oil so it contain both the fattening materials i.e. carbohydrates and lipids..

I love fench fries. I am also trying to lose the weight. I have given up fries,chips and most other carbs. So far I have lost about 20 pounds. It is a lond tasteless road ahead of me though. It is so unfair how men lose weight faster and easier than women.

Wrong~! First of all they are fried in oil so you are packing in the calories with that. French fries or potatoes are starches. The way your body process starches is that starch breaks down into sugars. See where this is going? The best way to eat potatoes is in moderation and boiled or baked without all the good toppings :) Good luck with your diet!

Oh Fries are one of the most fattening junk foods! If you're planning to lose weight or something, you might want to restrict consumption. Why not try wafers instead? The absorb lesser oil and hence less fattening.

Of course they are fattenting. That doesnt mean I'm going to stop eating them. NOt everything you eat is good for you. It's not like I eat them that often. We deserve a few pleasures in life.

you know what you could do is buy a crisping pan and bake the french fries in the oven you cut most of the fat out that way and can still enjoy them

thats a good idea! I love eating french fries too. I only eat them occassionally. I also avoid fattening food, but I do reward myself by eating them once in a while.

They're addicting, aren't they? 
I'm cutting back on them. It couldn't hurt if I don't eat them thrice in a week hehe. I can't give it up altogether.
