Nine points let you play with calories

Women always care about the index on the scale, and the important principle of weight loss is "limited diet", which uses a balanced diet and calories to maintain an appropriate weight. People who lose weight must first understand the calories of food and then eat it selectively to maintain optimal posture.

Q: How do people who lose weight choose meat?

A: In terms of oil content, there are more animals with 4 legs (pigs, cattle and sheep) than animals with 2 legs (chickens and ducks), and more animals with 2 legs than animals without legs (seafood). Eating as little ground meat as possible is another key point for weight loss people to choose meat, such as sausage, ham, meatballs, and burger patties, because these are made from a mixture of fat meat and lean meat. Although it cannot be seen on the surface, it is easy to ingest too much fat without realizing it.

Q: What are the principles for choosing to eat out?

A: 1. Cooking methods such as steaming, stewing and boiling are better than frying and can reduce oil intake.

2. Avoid dishes that are thickened or overseasoned to avoid ingesting too much oil.

Q: Time for dinner?

A: Don't eat for 4 hours before going to bed, because sleep is the period when insulin is highest, and calories are not burned during sleep, so it is easy to accumulate into fat.

Q: Why is it so difficult to lose fat?

A: The body burns calories first from carbohydrates (carbohydrates), then protein (muscle), and finally fat. Therefore, carbohydrates and protein are always used first, like demand deposits in a bank. But if you want to use fixed savings, you must rely on both exercise and diet.

Q: Should people who lose weight eat more vegetables?

A: When I first started to lose weight, I felt very sad because I had to eat less food to satisfy my enlarged stomach. When starting to lose weight, it is recommended to start with vegetables, which not only will you feel full, but also have low calories (100 grams and 25 calories).

Q: How to correctly understand food?

A: Our guideline is to first understand the six major types of food (meat, grains and roots, fish, beans and eggs, oils, fruits and vegetables, and oils), select the right types (such as meat parts), then measure the portions, and finally choose the method.

1. Through the food substitution table, the nutrition is balanced and the calories are not exceeded.

2. Weigh food by hand and understand the conversion of food portions to calories.

3. Choose low-calorie foods and learn the correct cooking methods to avoid excessive calorie intake due to wrong cooking methods.

4. Eating habits are highly related to behavioral changes. For example, the chance of eating snacks while watching TV is higher than that of eating snacks while listening to classical music, so watching less TV will naturally lead to eating less.

Q: What foods are grains and roots?

A: Grain roots contain carbohydrates and protein. It is generally thought that there is only rice noodles or bread. In fact, mung beans, red beans, corn, rice moss, lotus seeds, even yam, oatmeal, coix seed... etc. taste "pink" things are all foods belonging to this category.

Q: Can people who lose weight eat more fruits?

A: Don't think that fruits are low in calories. In fact, they contain sugar. Most people always think that fruits that are not sweet can be eaten more. In fact, the calories have little to do with the sweetness of the fruits, but with the size. For example, guava, unsweet and sweet guava contain the same calories. Whether it is sweet or not is a matter of conversion within the flesh. Many people think that guava is eaten fiercely if it is not sweet, which is a wrong idea. Fruit juice is a big taboo for dieters, because juice is made from multiple fruits, with a large amount of weight, and has less fiber and less satiety. Unconsciously, it will cause excessive intake of calories.

Q: Why do we encourage everyone to eat carefully and slowly?

A: This is because the human stomach feels full 30 minutes after eating. Therefore, if you eat too fast, the stomach will not feel full yet, but it will already ingest excessive calories. This is a big taboo for people who lose weight. If you already know that you will have a big meal later, you might as well eat some biscuits to make your stomach feel full so that you won't eat too much and consume excessive calories during the feast.

Q: What is the relationship between exercise and weight loss?

A: Losing body protein (muscle) is easy, but without exercise, it will reduce normal metabolism and easily cause weight gain. Because food intake is low, metabolic rate drops, which means that with a little calories, the body can maintain it. For example, before weight loss, the metabolic rate is 1, and the 360 calories you consume are absorbed. However, when a person loses weight, if there is no exercise, the person's metabolic rate will decrease. When the metabolic rate decreases, even half of the calories you originally consume can Maintain what the body needs. Excess calories form fat accumulation. This is one of the reasons why people who lose weight can easily regain weight if they give up halfway. Exercise can not only increase the metabolic rate, but also for people who lose weight, because of the improved metabolism, they can maintain their figure and prevent them from regaining weight easily.
