Potatoes
Boiled potatoes are best served warm to reduce the calorie content of the side dish. In this case, the starch turns into resistant fiber-like starch that keeps you feeling full. However, it is important that the potatoes are not hot, otherwise it can lead to excessive weight gain. Before frying the potatoes, it is better to cut them and leave them in water overnight, which will help reduce the starch content by 80%.

Rice
It is also recommended to consume rice in a cooled state, as it is a lower-calorie alternative to hot rice. In addition, doctors recommend cooking starchy foods, including rice, at low temperatures to reduce calorie content:
- Boil at 60-70°C.
- Stew in the oven at 100-120°C.
- It is important not to bring it to full readiness, to leave the "al dente" state so that the body burns more calories.
Pasta
This starchy side dish should also be consumed slightly warm. Like potatoes and rice, it helps reduce calories and keeps you feeling full. It's important to avoid ketchup and mayonnaise and opt for natural vegetable sauces.
