Is tapioca healthy and does it help you lose weight?
Yes!
This delicious delicacy has become a favorite among many when it comes to healthy weight loss.
The food is gaining more and more space among women who want to lose weight and maintain their good shape.
But what would be the explanation for this?
It’s quite simple!
Tapioca, in addition to not containing gluten, increases the feeling of satiety.

Benefits of tapioca
Tapioca also:
- It is rich in calcium, a mineral that metabolizes fats and controls appetite;
- It is rich in quickly absorbed carbohydrates, providing energy to the body, without adding fat to your diet;
- It is an excellent source of vitamin K, helping with blood clotting and bone health;
- Reduces stress and malaise, improving glucose metabolism and maintaining the electrolyte balance of cells.
The fact is that tapioca is healthy and its adequate consumption can help you lose weight.
But, let’s agree that, for this, we must choose the correct fillings, right?
The choice of filling makes a huge difference when preparing it.
There’s no point in tapioca having all these benefits and, when preparing it, adding unhealthy and high-calorie ingredients, right?
Therefore, the tip is to bet on fillings such as:
- Atum;
- Fruits;
- White cheeses;
- White and lean meats (such as turkey breast, chicken, fish…)

Tips for healthy weight loss
Another super valid tip for those who want to lose weight is to avoid drinking liquids during meals.
This is because the consumption of liquids during meals causes our stomach to dilate, causing a feeling of abdominal bloating.
With this “bad habit”, our stomach will always experience this dilation and, over time, it may become more elastic.
And, in addition to this dilation reducing the feeling of satiety, it also causes you to consume more food and, consequently, gain more weight.
Therefore, wait at least half an hour after meals to consume some type of liquid.
Finally, remember, tapioca is healthy and, as we mentioned above, it has numerous properties, which makes it a food with high energy value and can be a great ally in the weight loss process.
But, of course, to do this you also need to review and change your eating habits.
