Steamed potatoes and boiled potatoes have the same weight loss effect. First of all, potato is a carbohydrate food, which can be used as a staple food. However, the carbohydrate content in potato (17 g/100 g) is about a quarter of that of rice with the same weight, which means that the starch content in potato is much less. The starch in potato is a kind of resistant starch, which contains much dietary fiber than rice, and its digestion and absorption are slower. It moves slowly in the whole intestine, which can increase satiety and In addition, the fat content in potatoes is extremely low, accounting for only 0.1%~ 0.2%, which we can basically ignore. So replacing some rice with it certainly has the function of losing weight.
