Don't be obsessed with "water-filled" chocolate. It can lose weight. It's just a legend

Have you heard of "water-filled" pork and "water-filled" beef. Have you heard of "water-filled" chocolate? Don't get me wrong,"water-injected" chocolate is not a fake product like "water-injected" pork and beef."Water-injected" chocolate is a high-tech product. According to its inventor,"water-filled" chocolate is a new food developed by British researchers to solve the growing obesity problem in the UK. Let's take a look at this new food that helps lose weight:

New discovery: "Water-filled" chocolate is delicious and not afraid of fat

Researchers at the University of Birmingham in the UK say they have found that fat in ordinary chocolate can be replaced with non-caloric water, air or jelly. So, the researchers tried to combine water molecules with cocoa butter to create "water-filled" chocolate. The water content in this new chocolate is as high as two-thirds. The researchers said that despite the "water injection", the new chocolate is no different from ordinary chocolate in terms of taste, smell or feeling. The only fly in the ointment is that it cannot withstand high temperatures and will melt at 32 to 34 degrees Celsius.

Researchers are confident in "water-filled" chocolate. In addition to "injecting water" chocolate, researchers also used the same theory to "transform" high-calorie foods, such as making mayonnaise with a fat content of only 5% and reducing the salt content in processed foods by 80%. In addition, researchers are also developing a "super porridge" that turns into jelly when encountering gastric acid and can stay in the stomach for up to 6 hours. In other words, after drinking this bowl of porridge, people will not feel hungry for 6 hours.

Can "water-filled" chocolate lose weight?

There was once a chocolate bar placed in front of me. In order to lose weight, I was cruel not to eat it. When it was eaten by others, I regretted it. Now that I have "water-filled" chocolate, I will put it all into my mouth without hesitation.

Doesn't it sound very tempting? Drinking porridge that won't be hungry and eating chocolate that won't get fat, especially for those who love chocolate, is great news. Is it really true that no matter how much chocolate you eat, you will not gain weight? Can eating "water-filled" chocolate help you lose weight?

As we all know, obesity is a disease caused by the interaction of multiple factors, such as genetic defects, overeating and lack of activity. More than 95% of obesity is caused by overeating and lack of exercise. That is, the energy intake exceeds the energy consumed, causing the excess energy to become body fat and stored in the body. Over time, you become a fat person. It can be seen that obesity is not just caused by eating sweets such as chocolate.

The calories of chocolate mainly come from fat and sugar, while "water-filled" chocolate just replaces the fat in ordinary chocolate with non-caloric water, air or gum. However, the researchers of "water-filled" chocolate did not mention whether to use other substances to replace sugar in chocolate. At the same time, it should be reminded that this "water-filled" chocolate is a low-calorie food, but it is not a non-calorie food. If the usual food remains unchanged, if you eat too much of this "water-filled" chocolate without increasing your activity, In the long run, weight and body fat will still increase and lead to obesity.

In addition, the researchers of "water-filled" chocolate did not mention whether the "water-filled" chocolate contained ingredients that could lose weight or help lose weight. They only replaced the fat in the chocolate with non-caloric water or air. Therefore,"water-filled" chocolate itself has no weight loss effect, and can only be regarded as a meal substitute food at best. The principle of "water-filled" chocolate is the same as other meal substitute foods to lose weight. It consumes fewer calories to make the consumer feel full, but this does not prevent obese people who continue to consume even if they feel full. Obesity, and long-term consumption will lead to unbalanced nutritional intake.

Is chocolate the main culprit that makes people fat?

The reason why researchers invented "water-filled" chocolate is because chocolate is a delicious food with high energy and calorie density. Many people believe that chocolate is the main culprit that makes people fat. Is this really the case?

Chocolate is mainly composed of cocoa butter, milk powder and sugar. Our country's food composition table shows that every 100 grams of chocolate can provide 585 kilocalories (2448 kilocalories) of energy. Sugar, fat and protein in chocolate account for 51 percent of the total. 9%、40。1% and 4. 3%。Let's take a look at the calories of other foods containing chocolate: Name Specifications: Dark chocolate One bar of 20 grams 110 calories Hazelnut milk chocolate One bar of 20 grams 110 calories Colorful chocolate One bar of 15 grams 105 calories Chocolate cookies One bar of 80 grams 52 calories Chocolate cake One bar of 60 grams 285 calories

If chocolate is the main culprit that makes people fat, then replacing food with chocolate with the same energy should increase the incidence of obesity. However, experiments have shown that replacing other foods with equal-energy chocolate will not increase the incidence of obesity. Dr. Kimura from Showa Women's University in Japan conducted "The Effect of Eating Chocolate on Obesity" in 1996. Three types of chocolates (milk chocolate, sweet chocolate and white chocolate) were used to replace 20% of the energy of rat feed. After feeding the rat with the same energy diet without chocolate for 1 month, the body fat tissue weight, abdominal organ weight and hematology examination were used to evaluate and compare it. The results showed that chocolate did not cause obesity.

It can be seen that chocolate is not the main culprit that makes people fat, so eating chocolate, eating less other foods or increasing some activity can also maintain energy balance. As long as you maintain your body's energy balance, that is, energy intake = energy expenditure, you can maintain a stable weight.
