Welcome to another video here at
our channel. Today we are going to talk about tapioca. And to talk about this subject we are going to bring
our friend Pedro. Pedro is from the Batata Assando channel. We have already recorded videos on his channel and
He has already recorded some videos on our channel and all these links will be here in the description. Hey, Pedro, ready to talk all about it?
tapioca? Ready, ready! Let's go, this video here is going to be
pretty cool! So let's talk now about the three questions
most common questions about tapioca in the context of a low-carb diet, the questions we get most
receives. And the first question is this: tapioca
can you? NO! Basically if you are on a diet where
the goal is to reduce carbohydrates, it doesn't make much sense to include them in your diet
a food that is practically only carbohydrates, it has no nutrients, it has no
protein, it doesn't have any good fats. So it doesn't make much sense if you want
reduce carbohydrates, you eat a food that is only carbohydrates. And, to make matters worse, tapioca still does not provide
great satiety because it has neither fiber, nor fat, nor protein, according to Pedro
said, and it has a high glycemic index, that is, it will be absorbed quickly by your
organism – which is terrible for those who want to control insulin
to lose weight – and it’s also terrible because it will make you hungry quickly. But does that mean that tapioca makes you fat? How does that work? Will eating tapioca automatically make you fat? What’s the truth, Pedro? Basically the answer to that question,
like many other answers we always say here, it depends. It depends on the context, it depends on your metabolism,
age, gender and everything. But basically if you are an athlete,
practices very heavy physical activities, has a very controlled diet, all
right and put one tapioca a day, for example, with chicken, with tuna, with ground beef
– which is a protein source with a carbohydrate source post-workout – probably
you won't get fat. But if you're already sedentary, you won't have
time to practice physical exercises, you have never practiced exercise in your whole life and you put
a tapioca, for example, for breakfast – which is the time when your blood sugar is
more regulated, that you are burning more fat – probably yes, you will gain weight,
or at least, you will stop losing weight than you would have lost if you hadn't
eaten it. There is nothing inherently bad about it.
tapioca, depending on your context. If you are looking to lose weight then,
In our opinion, it will be better to avoid tapioca. In fact, we have already talked about it in another video
that weight loss happens with a caloric deficit and this deficit, if you are
living in free-range conditions – if you are not weighing and measuring all the
your foods, everything you put inside – it's easier for it to happen than
you spontaneously ingest fewer calories on a low-carb diet with foods
which, as Roney said, do not trigger your insulin; they do not make you hungry every now and then
time; but rather, foods that keep you full for longer; foods rich in
fiber, protein and good fats. And tapioca doesn't have any of that. In addition, tapioca also doesn't have micronutrients
that are important. So, for example, some foods like
carrots, beets, which people are very afraid of, these foods even have a little bit
carbohydrates – much less than tapioca – but they have many nutrients; different
of tapioca, which only has carbohydrates and zero nutrients. But complementing here then, if it does not
has nutrients, if it doesn't have protein, why do we hear so much about it being
a healthy food? The truth is that healthy food or not,
First of all, there is no very defined concept, there is no very consensus
of course what is healthy food. But secondly it is a matter of comparison. You are comparing tapioca with bread
full of gluten, wheat, something more processed, sometimes. Comparing tapioca to stuffed cookies,
tapioca seems like a healthier food. What do you think, Roney? Definitely tapioca, in this context, especially
in the context of substitution, it can indeed be a better thing. For example, if for breakfast you ate
bread with margarine and starts eating tapioca with butter; so in this context, a tapioca
it will be better for you than bread with margarine. Even because bread has the wheat issue
and gluten, which are harmful, yes. They are harmful, even for those who are not intolerant
to gluten. We talked about it and we will leave the link
here in the description, about these problems inherent to wheat. And breads also have the problem of, many times
sometimes take a lot of soybean oil, depending on the variety of bread you choose. So in this context of substitution the
tapioca may be superior. The truth is that tapioca is considered
a “safe” starch. It is basically a source of carbohydrate
without anything else. Without nutrients, as Pedro said; without gluten,
as Roney said. So if you just want to increase your intake
of carbohydrates, without putting these other things inside, it might be interesting to put them in. Now, the reality for most people
who is looking to lose weight, this is not it. The reality of these people is trying to put
only nutritionally dense foods, eat only nutritionally dense foods, and
eat foods that are low in calorie density. That is, few calories and lots of nutrients
with every gram, with every bit of satiety it gives you. And tapioca does not fit into this concept. And that is why we think it is important to treat
about this issue and we called Pedro to talk about it because we were very upset,
very angry, that we don't know where this information comes from that tapioca is
a food that helps you lose weight. We really don't know where it comes from
and we won't answer that because we don't know, but we thought it was good to give
this clarification about when to consume tapioca and when not to consume tapioca. So where is the place of tapioca in a diet
low-carb? What is its place? Does it have a place? Basically on a low-carb diet, if you
If you are a person looking to lose weight, it won't be a great fit for you. But if you are a person who is reducing carbohydrates
refined for health reasons – as I said, a person who does not (?) lose weight,
do a lot of physical activity – and want to eat tapioca after training, for example,
or even in a pre-workout; yes, it would have its place there without much negative damage to the
your health. And if you do low-carb, depending on your
carbohydrate restriction range, for example, has already lost a lot of weight, there is no longer as much
weight to lose or are satisfied with your body and consume, for example, 100 grams
of carbohydrates per day; you might be able to add a tablespoon or two of tapioca
in a recipe to make a crepe, and then it won't have as much of an impact. You'll only be consuming about 20 grams
of carbohydrates from tapioca and there will still be plenty left over for you to consume from various vegetables,
high quality. Yes, and in that case, we will still be
“dissolving”, so to speak, tapioca in eggs, which is a nutritionally rich food
rich, with plenty of protein, plenty of good fat. So, in this case, your meal will
be nutritionally much richer. Thus, the issue of tapioca comes down to
to the point that you have to know the context in which this tapioca is inserted: a context
of a healthy athlete, as Pedro said, is different from someone who has problems
with unregulated blood sugar and insulin. And overweight. In these cases, tapioca, in our opinion,
shouldn't even come close to your diet, but of course it's always worth checking
a professional you trust. And if you want a substitute for your coffee
in the morning, which is not tapioca and which is even tastier than it, you can see
the video here on the side. In fact, in it, the three of us recorded a cake
simply amazing frying pan. Also be sure to subscribe to the channel
from Batata Assando. There are several recipes there, like this cake
that Guilherme just said. So we'll see you in the next video! A big hug
