Happy weight loss is sweet and innocent

Sweet innocence! Eating sugar can make us feel happy

Sweet taste is the first taste that humans accept after birth-breast milk has a sweet aroma, so it is a human instinct to like sugar. Research shows that sweetness helps relieve stress and activates happy cells in the body. This is because sugar is rich in carbohydrates, which excite the nervous system and make us feel happy.

The biggest misunderstanding! It's not sugar's fault that your body gets fat

Sugar is the body's best energy storage station. 70% of the energy needed for human activities is provided by sugar. 1 gram of glucose can produce 4 kilocalories of energy in the body.

Some people say that eating sugar will make you fat. In this case, you should be more worried about fat. Each spoon of sugar contains 16 calories, while each spoon of lipid food contains 100 calories. Obviously, it is easier to accumulate calories in the body than eating sugar. In fact, getting fat is not the fault of sugar or fat. If the body consumes more energy than it consumes, even if you eat foods with low calorie values, you will still get fat.

How to eat sugar without getting fat

No more than 40 grams a day

Sugar is widely used in our food. For women who like to eat desserts, snacks, and drinks, it is easy to eat too much sugar. Nutritionists recommend that the total daily intake of white sugar is about 30 to 40 grams, which means that it should not exceed 10% of the total daily carbohydrate intake. This is equivalent to 100 grams of dark chocolate or 400 milliliters of orange juice.

Don't eat sugar in one breath

Even if you eat less than 40 grams of sugar, don't eat it all at once. Because if you consume it all at one time, the sugar will not be used up in the body, and it may still be accumulated. Moreover, almost all sweet foods contain a large amount of sweeteners made of white sugar or syrup. If you eat all the sugar you should consume in the morning, it is difficult to ensure that there is no sugar in a certain food in the afternoon. If you use "one-time eating" to control your sugar intake, the result is likely to become too much intake. The right way is to always take only the smallest portion when you want a sweet tooth.
