Can I eat old-fashioned popcorn to lose weight?

You can't eat popcorn if you want to lose weight, but you can't just eat it. Whether it is new or old, it is necessary to control the total amount.

First of all, the body of the small converter contains lead. Excessive lead content in popcorn is harmful to health, which means that a small amount of lead is transferred to popcorn at high temperature, causing lead pollution. The new popcorn made of stainless steel pot and popcorn has no lead pollution problem.

Second, popcorn in a small converter will not increase or decrease the heat. According to the same weight, the calories of popcorn and dried corn kernels are the same, about 360 kcal/100g, which is the same as that of rice flour. It just becomes loose when it gets bigger.

3. In addition, puffing treatment will greatly increase the value of glycemic index (GI). After all, the texture is loose and easy to chew, and the efficiency will be greatly improved when digestive enzymes attack.

After all, it's all made of grain. If you eat one or two popcorn (50 grams of dried corn kernels), you need to eat half a bowl of rice (50 grams of rice). Traditional popcorn is worried about lead pollution caused by small converters, while new popcorn is worried about high saturated fat and trans fat. So it is better to eat popcorn in moderation.
