If you cook and eat, you won't get fat. Eating potatoes will make you fat, which is actually a misunderstanding. The water content of potatoes is as high as 76%, the real starch content is less than 20%, and it also contains "dietary fiber" that can produce "satiety". Moreover, potatoes only contain 0. 1% fat, which is the lowest fat content in all hungry foods, so it has the effect of losing weight instead of staple food.

People think that potatoes will get fat mainly because of two things:

One is improper cooking, making potatoes into French fries and chips. There is only one way for potatoes to make people fat-potatoes meet oil. If fried or fried, the starch in potatoes will solidify in the body, and with the action of vegetable oil or animal oil, it is easy to make people fat. It can be seen that it is not the potato itself that makes people fat, but the oil it absorbs.

Second, potatoes are not used as staple food, but as dishes. If you want to lose weight, you might as well replace rice and steamed bread with potatoes, so that potatoes can become a part of your diet. If potatoes are used as vegetables, the number of staple foods should be reduced appropriately.
