The trouble with potato chips (crisps UK)   Potato chips are becoming increasingly popular, in the UK they are the number one snack with hundreds of bags of potato chips consumed per person each year. There are new potato chip flavors coming out frequently to try to grab our taste buds. Its safe to say that potato chips contribute a small percentage to the growing weight problem. The trouble with potato chips is most brands are high in calories and fat in comparison to the weight of the product. Their lightness means its possible to eat much more than we should or another negative way is they don't fill the stomach enough to limit the amount foods eaten during the same meal or snack. The result is the possibility to consume many more calories than the body requires. Better made potato chips are the ones low in fat and calories. There are many low fat potato chips varieties available on the market however, low fat potato chips may encourage some people to consume more for the same number of calories. Potato chips also contain large amounts of sodium in the form of salt. The salt gives these chips the flavor and taste which many people find addictive in potato chips. Many processed foods contain high levels of sodium to help preserve the food as well as for taste. The problem for the dieter is it causes the body to hold water. Some research suggests that many people may be carrying up to 5 pounds of excess water weight just through high levels of sodium intake. High sodium intakes have also been linked to an increase in blood pressure. Plus potato chips also contain very little water. Many people don't drink enough water from the glass, instead relying on fluid intake through the food eaten each day. Consuming potato chips while on a diet further reduces consumption of water. Some research suggests that sufficient water intake can help reduce appetite and cause weight loss. Potato chips don't have much in the way of nutritional value either. Normally natural potatoes help contribute to a person's vitamin C intake, mainly due to the volume of potato portions eaten.
