Potatoes

Potatoes

Poor potatoes are often avoided because theyfre high in carbohydrates, but research suggests that potatoes can actually get your body to burn fat like a pro. Shape writes that in addition to providing fiber and C and B vitamins, once potatoes cook and cool, they become loaded with resistant starch, a unique carb thatfs been shown to cause your body to rev up and burn fat.

Herefs how it works: Your body canft digest or absorb resistant starch, so instead it ferments it when it reaches the large intestine, triggering your body to burn fat instead of carbs. Livestrong recommends eating your potato with a source of lean protein. Consider topping your potato with beans and fat-free cheddar cheese, tuna salad made with fat-free yogurt, or diced chicken breast and sliced mushrooms. It will help lower the glycemic index of your meal, making it an even better fat-burning option.
