Why do cold potatoes help with weight loss?
The science behind cold potatoes:
When potatoes are cooked and then cooled, they form resistant starch, just like heated bread. This resistant starch slows down digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness while reducing calorie absorption. Cold potato salads, especially popular in the USA, make for a great side dish with fewer calories. Add vinegar or lemon juice for extra flavor and health benefits!
