Is the starch of potatoes really high?
100g potato can provide 16.5g carbohydrate, which is really not low at first glance, but compared with the common staple foods we usually eat, such as white rice, noodles and white pasta, the carbohydrate content of potatoes is really not high. 100g rice provides 25.6g, 24.2g and 45.7g after being carbonated. The starch content of potatoes accounts for about 20%. Compared with sweet potatoes, which are also potato foods, the starch content of potatoes can be much less, but they are also rich in dietary fiber and have a good feeling of fullness. In comparison, eating potatoes is really more conducive to losing weight.
But then again, potatoes, after all, are still relatively low in starch content. We should eat potatoes as the staple food, and we can replace flour and rice or other potatoes. We can't eat too much, otherwise it will be bad for losing weight because of excessive sugar intake. It is recommended that the intake of staple food for each meal should be about two or two. For potatoes, it is about a fist-sized potato with a weight of one and a half.
Are potatoes high in calories?
The calories of potatoes are really not high. 100g only contains 76 calories and the fat is only 0.2g. The way potatoes are cooked is also very important. It is best to cook them by steaming, boiling and dry-baking. For example, French fries and potato chips are all made by frying, which has high oil content and high calories, and also destroys the original rich nutrients in potatoes. Naturally, they are foods with high heat and low nutrition. In fact, potato is a food with very high nutritional value. Although it is cheap, it is really extraordinary. 100g potato can provide 40mg of phosphorus, 23mg of magnesium and 342mg of potassium, which are higher than many common vegetables, and potatoes are also rich in vitamin C. Eating potatoes often is a good choice. It is better to keep potatoes as they are. If potatoes are made into mashed potatoes, the dietary fiber will be destroyed, which will make starch easier to decompose and absorb, and the speed of sugar rise will increase greatly, which is not conducive to weight loss.
Eating potatoes scientifically can really help you lose weight, but many friends may not believe it. After all, high-calorie foods such as French fries and potato chips have been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In fact, potato itself is not a food with high fat and high heat. The heat provided by 100g potato is not as high as that of an apple, about 70~80 calories, and the fat is only 0.2g, which can be said to be a proper diet material. French fries and potato chips are high in heat because the fat and heat increase exponentially after they are fried, and the high temperature destroys the rich nutritional value of potatoes, completely covering up the potential of potatoes.
If you want to lose weight with potatoes, you can eat them instead of staple food. Most of the staple foods we usually eat belong to "flour and rice", such as white rice, white pasta and other foods. Their processing process is more elaborate, and the unique wheat bran component of cereal foods is seriously lost, and the dietary fiber is seriously lost. Starch is more easily converted into glucose and absorbed, which makes the sugar rise faster after meals and the blood sugar soar, which is very unfavorable for weight loss. If a large amount of glucose enters the blood in a short time, and the cells can't fully utilize it, it will be converted into glycogen, which will be converted into glucose for energy again when we lack glucose. However, if our blood sugar remains stable or high, more sugar principles can't be utilized, and they will eventually be converted into fat accumulation. Conversely, if the blood sugar rises slowly, the probability of glycogen conversion will decrease, and the probability of eventually converting into fat will be lower. Potatoes can help us to stabilize postprandial blood sugar better. Although the starch content of potatoes is also high, they are rich in dietary fiber, which helps to slow down food digestion and help stabilize postprandial blood sugar.
Although potatoes are also rich in starch, the starch content is actually relatively low. The starch content in potatoes accounts for about 20%, which is relatively low in potato foods. Compared with the common staple foods we usually eat, such as rice, noodles and steamed bread, the carbohydrate content is much lower. Therefore, eating potatoes properly is not only conducive to stabilizing blood sugar, but also conducive to losing weight. More dietary fiber helps to improve satiety and let us avoid excess. Potatoes are very rich in nutrition, rich in magnesium, phosphorus and potassium, especially the content of potassium is 2~3 times higher than that of many common vegetables. They are typical high-potassium foods and suitable for patients with hypertension. Eating potatoes properly every day is not only helpful for losing weight, but also very beneficial to health. But friends who want to lose weight must pay attention. After all, potatoes are also starch-rich foods. Eating too much is equivalent to eating too much sugar, which will still affect weight loss. It is recommended that you can eat one and a half potatoes per meal as a staple food, and you can eat a small bowl of coarse grain rice+half a fist-sized potatoes per meal with flour and rice. In addition, as mentioned above, you should pay attention to the cooking methods of potatoes.
Potatoes contain a lot of starch. Generally, potatoes should be eaten as the staple food. Eating too much is easy to get fat. I have experienced it really.
100g potato has a calorie of 8 1 kcal, a fat content of 0.2g and a glycemic index of 66, so it is a very good diet food. But many people talk about the potato fever when they lose weight, thinking that potatoes are getting fat.
Potatoes are staple food. Many people think that potatoes are vegetables. In fact, potatoes can be eaten as staple food. It is a very good staple food during weight loss. Yam, taro, sweet potato, purple potato, pumpkin and lotus root can all be eaten as staple food.
Why do you lose weight slowly when eating potatoes? Most people eat potatoes as vegetables, and at the same time, they will match other staple foods, such as rice and steamed bread.
After we eat the staple food, most of it will be converted into glycogen. For every gram of glycogen stored in our body, we also store 3 to 4 grams of water. When eating a lot of carbohydrate, glycogen will be stored in excess, and the water in the body will increase greatly, which will bring about weight gain, so the weight loss will be slow.
How to eat potatoes during weight loss? It is more appropriate to take 2 to 4 grams of staple food per kilogram of body weight during weight loss. Potatoes, as the staple food, should be taken at a dose of 50g to100g per meal. When eating staple foods with high starch content such as potatoes, the intake of other staple foods should be reduced or avoided.
Try to avoid high-calorie cooking methods such as braised potatoes and French fries. Preferably boiled or steamed. After cooling, potatoes will produce resistant starch, which is better for weight loss.
To tell you clearly, potatoes are foods that can help us lose weight.
I'm losing weight, too. Today is the first day of my weight loss 134, and I lost 55.7 kg in one day. And I control my weight through diet, all kinds of coarse grains and all kinds of vegetable proteins.
Of course, if you want to lose weight by potatoes, it depends on how you eat them. For example, steaming a pot of potatoes for a meal, a plate of shredded potatoes, a stewed eggplant with potatoes and a potato feast will definitely not lose weight.
Potatoes can be eaten as a staple food during weight loss. Although fried shredded potatoes are delicious, with a bowl of rice, this meal is nothing, all of which are carbohydrates. A standard diet meal is one carbohydrate, one protein and two vegetables. One serving is measured by the size of our fists. Of course, we can add more vegetables if we are not full. Vegetables are not fixed in two portions, and more portions are unlimited until they are full. After all, vegetables have no calories, and carbohydrates and proteins are still executed according to the amount of one punch.
Many nutritionists may say that starch contains starch and sugar. Any staple food will contain starch and sugar, so we won't eat staple food! Although potatoes contain starch, they contain a lot of dietary fiber. It is not a panacea for weight loss, but it can help us lose weight.
Potatoes are also coarse grains. Why do you recommend eating coarse grains to lose weight? To put it bluntly, the simplest thing is that coarse grains are not so easily absorbed as in flour and rice. It's not easy to digest when you eat it, and you feel full. You may be hungry after eating a bowl of rice for two hours, and eating two steamed potatoes can last for half a day.
It is correct to control your diet when you lose weight, which shows that you have the consciousness of losing weight. I also control my weight completely by diet, without exercise, and the effect is very good.
In fact, losing weight is very simple. Learn to control and be self-disciplined, and you will succeed. Finally, I wish you success in losing weight and come on.
Is eating potatoes to gain weight or lose weight? This topic has been debated endlessly. It can be said that potatoes can both gain weight and lose weight. The key is how to eat them.
Reasons why potatoes can gain weight: potatoes are a cross-border food that can be used as both vegetables and staple foods. People have been eating it as a vegetable for many years. Generally, the carbohydrate content of vegetables is about 5%, while the starch content of potatoes is nearly 20%. Its calorie is the highest among vegetables, far higher than that of green leafy vegetables such as rape, spinach and Chinese cabbage.
When potatoes are used as vegetables, they often add a lot of oil or stew with meat, which invisibly increases the calories of potatoes. We usually eat fried potato shreds, stewed beef with potatoes and stewed vermicelli with pork and potatoes, which are not low in calories. Plus, potatoes have high starch content, and they love to absorb oil. Potatoes are wrapped in oil, which tastes super delicious, and they overeat if they don't mind.
Moreover, when potatoes are eaten as vegetables, we have to eat another staple food, which is equivalent to eating two staple foods in one meal. It is difficult to get fat or not. If potatoes are made into French fries and chips, the calories will be even higher. After eating a high-calorie hamburger, drinking a cup of coke and having a French fries, you can almost hear the sound of long meat. . . . . .
Reasons why potatoes can lose weight: potatoes are not small in calories as vegetables, but they still have many advantages as staple foods. Compared with rice, steamed bread and other white staple foods, potatoes have lower calories and lower postprandial blood sugar response, and the dietary fiber in potatoes can enhance satiety. Eating the same weight of staple foods makes potatoes more resistant to hunger.
Compared with polished rice flour, potato has higher nutritional value, which is rich in potassium and vitamin C. The content of potassium is equivalent to that of banana, and the content of vitamin C is comparable to that of tomato. It is also a good choice for obese and three high patients.
When potatoes are the staple food, it is best to steam, boil and bake them, instead of adding oil and salt, so as to give full play to their advantages as staple food. After eating potatoes, other staple foods will be reduced, so as to reduce the energy intake of this meal.
In fact, on the one hand, the key to losing weight is the choice of food, on the other hand, it is necessary to control the total energy of a day. Only when the energy intake of a day is less than the energy consumed will it be beneficial to lose weight. Otherwise, you can't lose weight even if you eat potatoes, snacks and meat every meal.
Judging from my decades of experience in raising pigs, there is no doubt that potatoes can't lose weight, but they will definitely gain weight. I won't accept refutation if any experts stand aside.
Potatoes have a long history, and their ancestors are foreign products. In North America, they have long been the second staple food. Potatoes are native to the Andes in South America, and the history of artificial cultivation is about 8000 BC to 5000 BC in southern Peru. So potatoes are not earthy.
As far as I can remember, when there was no pig feed to sell in rural areas, farmers began to feed pigs with wild vegetables, sweet potato leaves, vegetable leaves and so on. The pig was only a long shelf, which was full of fairy tales and had a good figure.
In autumn, when sweet potato and sweet potato were ripe and harvested, they began to feed pigs with sweet potato and a little rice bran to fatten them. In just three or four months, the pig can grow to three or four hundred Jin, and in the twenties of the twelfth lunar month, every household began to kill pigs for the New Year. Therefore, potato is to fatten the pigs. Pigs become fat after eating. If people eat potato mixed with rice bran every day, they will definitely be fat enough to doubt their lives.
Why do potatoes gain weight? Potatoes are potatoes, and potatoes are potatoes. In China, potatoes are called potatoes. Potatoes are called Irish potato in the United States, Dutch potato in Russia, apple in France, pear in Germany, potato in Italy and Baba in Peru. Together with wheat, rice, corn and sorghum, it is called the five major crops in the world. Potatoes are rich in starch, protein, amino acids and vitamins, minerals and vitamins.
Because potatoes contain a lot of starch, to what extent, you can see that there are potato vermicelli and potato starch in the supermarket. Therefore, if these starches are converted into glucose in the human body and cannot be consumed in time, they will be stored as glycogen, and if they can no longer be consumed, they will become proper fat.
To sum up, potatoes must definitely gain weight, and it is impossible to lose weight. Because the starch content is too high, it will be stored as glucose, glycogen and fat respectively.
In fact, apart from diet pills, there is no specific food that can lose weight or gain weight. It is a matter of quantity. If you eat a lot of low-calorie food, you will get fat. If you eat a little food with high calorie, you may lose weight. Therefore, the key is to control the quantity.
Potatoes contain about 80 calories per100g, but they are not high-calorie foods. Potatoes are rich in starch, so potatoes are not vegetables, but are classified as staple foods.
During the period of losing weight, you can use a proper amount of potatoes as the staple food. Eating potatoes not only increases sugar slowly, but also has a strong sense of fullness, which is conducive to losing weight.
But if potatoes are made into some French fries and chips, the calories are quite high. It is a typical mixture of sugar and oil, which makes people fat. Therefore, the cooking method of potatoes is also very important, and the heat and effect brought by different cooking methods are different.
However, there is another principle: you can eat everything, and you can't eat too much. This principle is not only useful for losing weight, but also helpful for our daily life. As long as you eat according to this principle, you don't have to be afraid to eat any food, let alone worry about getting fat or losing weight.
These are some of my views, I hope to help you!
First of all, there is no evidence that potatoes can lose weight. In addition, eating potatoes in moderation will not gain weight. Therefore, in the case of limiting a certain amount of food, it is impossible to say absolutely whether it will lose weight or gain weight.
Potatoes contain a lot of starch, which can provide rich calories for human body and low fat content. To some extent, potatoes can be used as staple food. Moreover, potatoes are rich in protein amino acids and a variety of vitamins and minerals, especially the vitamin content is the most complete among all food crops. Therefore, potatoes can be used as both staple food and vegetables.
Be sure to pay attention to moderation and moderation when eating. If you have eaten high-fat, high-protein and high-calorie food and added a potato in a day without controlling your diet, then the potato is fattening. If you control your diet and exchange potatoes for part of the staple food, you can say that potatoes can help you lose weight.
There are two main ways to lose weight: first, control intake; Second, increase energy consumption. In order to control weight, the most important thing is to control the total energy intake. If you consume too much energy, you should increase your body fat and take into account energy consumption. Only a balanced diet can consolidate your weight and avoid obesity. At the same time, you can increase your exercise and consume excess energy to maintain your weight.
If you want to lose weight, but also for the sake of health, I suggest that you replace some staple foods with root foods, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams and other root foods to replace some staple foods, which are all good ways to lose weight. If the amount of staple food is not reduced, and potatoes are used as vegetables, the intake of staple food will increase, and if you eat this way, you will gain weight.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that the cooking method of potatoes will also affect the calorie intake. It is generally recommended that potatoes should be steamed mainly, and no seasoning should be added to replace the staple food, which has a certain fat-reducing effect. Try to avoid frying or frying, which may increase calories, but may not play a role in losing weight, but may play a role in gaining weight.
At the same time, weight loss should also adhere to moderate exercise, moderate exercise can consume calories, reduce weight, pay attention to smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, regular work and rest, and ensure a good sleep.
