Including bread, rice and potatoes on the blacklist can represent a very painful grief. These types of carbohydrates disappeared from my sight for more than 5 years, in this period I only gained three kilograms of my excess weight than when I ate them regularly. I think without them I’d rather eat sand. Well, I think I was exaggerating… The secret is knowing how to consume them. Generally, potatoes are served with exaggerated amounts of oil, because they are fried. If we change the way we cook them, they can give us a richer, more attractive and healthier appearance. All tubers, such as potatoes, carrots, white sweet potatoes, beets and tapioca, have high nutritional content and few calories. When cooked on the grill or grill, they will not absorb any oil during their preparation, and they will also acquire a more pronounced flavor and color.

In this case it is possible to opt for integral alternatives in the case of bread. There are pastas made with lentil and bean flour, they are delicious and have high-quality proteins for a balanced diet. adequate
