Will eating lotus root starch make you fat?
As long as you eat it in moderation, you generally won't get fat. Lotus root powder is made of lotus root, which is fine in texture, clean and fragrant, easy to digest and absorb, and rich in carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins. It is a food with low calorie and high nutrition, and has the effects of relieving fever, promoting granulation, promoting digestion, relieving hangover, relieving boredom, clearing away heart fire, calming nerves and benefiting the body. Lotus root powder contains tannin, which has certain effects of invigorating spleen and stopping diarrhea, stimulating appetite, promoting digestion, strengthening the body, and is beneficial to the recovery of people with poor appetite and loss of appetite.
Lotus root contains mucin and dietary fiber, which can be combined with cholate in human body, cholesterol and triglyceride in food, so that it can be excreted from feces, thus reducing the absorption of lipids. However, drinking too much lotus root powder is easy to get fat, because the basic component of lotus root powder is starch, which can be easily converted into glucose in the gastrointestinal tract after eating, and too much glucose will be converted into fat. In order to improve the taste of lotus root starch products on the market, a certain amount of sugar is often added, which is easier to be converted into fat. So eating too much lotus root starch may still lead to obesity.
How to avoid getting fat by eating lotus root starch
1, pay attention to moderate consumption.
You can eat lotus root starch when you lose weight, but don't just eat lotus root starch. It's okay to eat once in a while, just make one or two packs a day.
2. Don't add sugar.
Many people like to add sugar when brewing lotus root starch. Although it has certain stomach invigorating and neutralizing effects and tastes good, there is still some sugar in lotus root starch. If you often use white sugar to make lotus root starch, your body will consume too much sugar, and there is still a risk of getting fat after long-term consumption.
Step 3 drink pure lotus root starch
Now supermarkets basically sell bagged lotus root starch, but these lotus root starches are rarely "pure lotus root starch". But additives such as starch and saccharin are added. Eating this kind of lotus root starch often has a great risk of getting fat. Eat occasionally at most, not too much. For example, we can choose to make pure lotus root starch ourselves.
4, pay attention to supplement calcium and vitamins
Dietary intake of dieters will be greatly reduced, and the intake of various vitamins and trace elements such as calcium will also be greatly reduced, which can be supplemented by drugs or low-sugar fruits and vegetables.
