Tapioca has been consistently associated with healthy diets. It is an excellent option for celiacs (people who are allergic to gluten), but she is a villain when it comes to dieting to lose weight.
Tapioca is made from cassava gum, which is a carbohydrate. It is a food that does not have much fiber and is low in nutrients. It is an excellent alternative to replace breads full of dyes and chemical ingredients that are available on the market, but if you want to lose weight, it's not very good to throw yourself in tapioca as if it were lettuce!
For those who need to gain weight in a healthy way, it is a very welcome ingredient., as it helps you gain weight in a way that will not harm your organs with excess fat.
Don't forget that eating well and healthy is always very important in any diet. And above all, seeking the help of a specialized professional is the best alternative.
