Potatoes have been badly received for too long in the world of diet-sensitive health lovers for no real reason!
Improved stem vegetables called tuber vegetables (no, they are not root vegetables); potatoes are rich in potassium and vitamin C and are not actually fattened.
Yes, you are reading that right! In fact, it’s so nutritious that, if cooked properly, it can also help you lose weight.
Messed up? We were the same, so I did some research. This is what we found.
Here are some of the things that fatten potatoes:
• The style of the dish.Example: Fried food or frying pan
• The accompaniment we eat it. Examples: butter, sour cream, etc.
Another key to avoiding weight with potatoes is “partial management”. The highest nutritional value of potatoes is that of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are essential for weight loss, but when taken without restrictions, carbohydrates are also a major cause of weight gain. Starch, which is endemic to potatoes, leads to faster satiety as we lose less weight and in the process (albeit in the long run) lose weight.
In summary, avoiding the above fat-giving means and instead boiling or steaming potatoes will be very nutritious and full, not to mention delicious!
The above theory applies to both white potatoes and sweet potatoes.
But we know what you’re thinking-boiled potatoes aren’t the most delicious dish, and your favorite accompaniment is just labeled “unhealthy.” ??
As I said, we did an investigation! So here are some low-fat and high-tasting delicious potato recipes for you to make at home:
