Diet Q & A-What are some food taboos during the weight loss period?

What are some food taboos during the weight loss period? Eat more eggs, will cholesterol increase? How many eggs are appropriate to eat a day? Can I eat oats as a staple food for a long time? Aren't apples all said that they have high nutritional value? Why not recommend apples for people who lose fat? Are Coke Zero and Diet Coke really zero calories?

1. Eating more eggs will increase cholesterol? How many eggs are appropriate to eat a day?

In recent years, a study found that the human body has its own mechanism for synthesizing cholesterol, and most of the cholesterol ingested from food cannot be absorbed. Moreover, more and more clinical cases of cardiovascular disease show that cardiovascular disease caused by cholesterol is far less serious than saturated fat. So, the harm of cholesterol has been overestimated in the past. As for the maximum number of eggs you can eat every day, there is currently no authoritative statement. However, what is certain is that if your metabolism is normal, it is completely feasible to eat 2 whole eggs a day.

2. Can oats be used as a staple food for a long time?

Yes, oats itself are a very good staple food. In addition to the slow-release carbohydrates that can be provided like other whole grain staple foods, oats itself are also rich in vitamin B1 and vitamin E. There are several types of oats that we usually see. One is raw oats or oatmeal rice that needs to be cooked to eat, one is fast-cooked oats and ready-to-eat oats, and the other is mixed oats with dried fruits and sugar.

Compared with these types of oats, raw oatmeal or oatmeal rice has the highest comprehensive nutritional value, but it is more troublesome and takes the longest cooking time. If you are in a hurry for breakfast, fast-cooked oatmeal and ready-to-eat oatmeal are great. As for mixed cereals, many people eat it as a snack, but this kind of cereal has a high sugar content and insufficient oatmeal content, so it is not recommended for long-term consumption.

3. Isn't it said that apples have high nutritional value? Why not recommend apples for people who lose fat?

For people with reduced fat, they cannot eat too much fruit that is high in sugar, so of course priority is given to fruits with comprehensive nutritional value. Whether apples are vitamin C, carotene or potassium, they are not outstanding compared to other common fruits, so they are not recommended.

4. What should I do if I always get angry when drinking milk? If I drink it for a few days, I will develop acne.

First of all, acne is not due to excessive heat, most of them are acne. When some people drink too much milk, the level of IGF-1 insulin-like growth factor in their bodies will increase, inducing an inflammatory reaction and causing acne, which is what everyone calls acne. No more than 500ml of whole milk per day is a relatively safe amount to drink. Why whole milk? Because skimmed milk lacks n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, it cannot play a good anti-inflammatory effect, and is more likely to cause acne in sensitive people.

5. Are Coke Zero and Diet Coke really zero calories?

So traditional colas use sugar and high fructose syrup, while Zero and Diet colas use sweeteners. The sweetness of sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose is much higher than sucrose. The sweetness of aspartame is 200 times that of sucrose. So just a small dose can achieve the sweetness of traditional cola. That is, because the added amount is small, the calories are particularly low.

According to my country's nutrition labeling regulations, for every 100 grams of calories less than 17 kilojoules, the calories are allowed to be labeled as 0. So these diet colas have negligible calories and can be labeled as 0kcal. However, although there is zero calories, it is not recommended to drink too much.
