The principle of eating potatoes to lose weight
I heard that eating potatoes can lose weight, and many people will wonder, "I love jealous shredded potatoes and green pepper slices. Why haven't I lost weight?" Please pay attention! (Key point here) Staple food covered with shredded potatoes will lead to excessive starch intake, which runs counter to weight loss. The correct way is to change the staple food into potatoes.
Nearly 80% of potatoes are water. Compared with rice and flour, potatoes with the same weight have more water and lower calories. At the same time, potatoes are rich in dietary fiber, which can increase satiety to a certain extent, that is, it can make you "eat less and be hungry slowly". Protein and sugar in potatoes react chemically during frying and baking, which can produce rich fragrance, and delicious food can be made without too much seasoning when cooking.
However, just eating potatoes is not enough! Potatoes can only be regarded as a relatively low-calorie starch provider. If you want to lose weight, you need to completely replace the staple food and pay attention to cooking methods. Frying and frying will introduce extra oil. In addition, eating potatoes alone can't guarantee the balance of nutrition, and the nutrients such as vitamins and minerals with low content in potatoes have to be obtained from many aspects.
Forget the fatty French fries.
