People's staple food ismillet,steamed buns, as well as various kinds of rice and noodle dishes,which contain rich nutrients such as starches,proteins,vitamins, etc.,being the main source of thermal energy for the human body.

Therefore, many people reduce their staple food intake to control and lose weight during a diet.

However, if these methods are adopted when preparing staple foods,

cooked riceand steamed buns can be transformed into weight-loss foods by refrigerating them at 2-4℃ for some time.The principle is: starches undergo gelatinization at 60-80℃ in aqueous solutions, forming a uniform paste solution,which is the process of cooking riceor steaming buns.Gelatinized starches are easily digested by enzymes and absorbed by the human body.However, after gelatinization, when stored for a long time or at 30%-60% moisture with temperatures maintained at 2-4℃,

starch will become opaque and may even precipitate (i.e., starch aging).Eating such aged food results in the absorption of starches filling up the stomach, not only reducing the feeling of hunger but also minimizing energy intake.

Furthermore, proteins in staple foods experience minimal loss during these processes,and the main B vitamins, due to their stability, experience little loss as well.

Thus, this weight-loss food merely reduces heat absorption without affecting other nutrient absorptions and usages; it is simple to make and an ideal choice for those who want to lose weight.(Related starch and protein weight loss plan—try the portioning method: The portioning method involves separating proteins from carbohydrates.
