Cooking potatoes and putting them in the refrigerator can make them produce "resistant starch", which is helpful to lose weight and prolong satiety. There are many forms of starch in food. One is "refined starch", which is easy to be digested by human body (coarse bran, germ and seed coat are removed through processing procedures, and only starch components, such as cakes and desserts, are retained), which is not conducive to weight loss; Resistant starch is beneficial to lose weight and is not easily decomposed by human digestive enzymes. After being ingested by human body, resistant starch can resist amylolytic enzymes secreted by small intestine, but it can also be used by large intestine, and its function is similar to dietary fiber.
A study published in the journal Nutrition and Metabolism confirmed that "resistant starch" has the functions of reducing calorie intake, promoting intestinal health, controlling blood sugar and regulating blood lipids.
