Can you lose weight if you don’t eat, just eat fruits?
Can you lose weight if you don’t eat meat and only eat other foods?
… …
There are thousands of opinions about losing weight. Is there any reason?
1. Can fruits be eaten as food?
Not eating but eating apples and replacing dinner with fruits is a true portrayal of many girls during their weight loss.
Eating fruit is right in itself, but not eating is wrong.
During weight loss, the energy intake for dinner should account for 30 ~ 35% of the total energy for a day. For girls sitting in the office, dinner should also eat at least 400 kilocalories.
So how much energy does Apple have? A medium to large Fuji apple has about 120 kilocalories.
It seems that a caloric gap of nearly 300 kilocalories has been created, but if you eat like this for a long time, you will be short of carbohydrates, protein and essential fatty acids: your stomach will not be full, your nutrition will be short, and where will you come from to lose weight?
Blind [eating less] will only make you malnourished. Try this [light dinner] for some improvement:
In addition to fruit, match 1 bowl of milk oatmeal and 1 handful of nuts.
With high-quality protein and fatty acids, coupled with the assists of dietary fiber, we can keep on losing weight.
2. Can you lose weight without eating meat?
If there is something in this world, you can be thin as long as you stay away from it. I think it must be: my mouth.
Meat food is the most important source of protein in the diet. Not touching meat at all means that we will find it difficult to eat enough protein.
How important is protein? It can not only improve satiety and reduce postprandial blood sugar reaction, but also is crucial to muscle synthesis.
If the long-term lack of protein affects the basic metabolism, it will slowly become a constitution that is easy to get fat but difficult to lose weight. Once you embark on this irreversible path, it is really even more difficult to lose weight.
In fact, only two points need to be paid attention to when eating meat intelligently: varieties and practices.
- Variety: priority is given to white meat (poultry meat, fish) and lean meat. Practice: try to reduce oil, steamed, stewed, boiled balls, and roasted without oil can be changed.
As for those who rinse fat cattle, roast five flowers, fried chicken legs… let’s leave them to friends who need to gain weight.
3. Fat is the devil. Never touch it?
Like protein, fat is also one of the six essential nutrients for human body.
Necessity means inseparable, that is to say, if you cannot eat enough fat in your daily diet, it will cause great damage to your health.
Losing weight just requires us to say goodbye to [excess] fat. And this [excess] fat mainly comes from cooking oil, dessert, snacks and fat.
In other words, there is no need to be on guard against the fat naturally found in fish, meat, eggs, milk and nuts. However, cakes, biscuits, cooking oil and fat need to be properly restrained.
For example, instead of forcing yourself to drink fully skim milk with poor taste, it is better to put less oil when cooking.
It should also be reminded that [0 fat] is not equal to [0 energy], let alone health.
For example, many lactic acid bacteria drinks like to sell [0 fat] and look healthy.
However, although there is less fat, refined sugar is much more than ordinary yogurt. A bottle of sugar is 200 calories, which is equivalent to eating half a bowl of rice.
Do you want to try to cut off food lightly?
The serious name of light food cut-off is [intermittent food cut-off], and this method was written into the “Consensus of Experts on Medical Nutrition Treatment for Overweight and Obesity in China” released in 2016.
This mode requires:
Eat normally for 5 days in a week, and only consume 500 ~ 600 calories for the other 2 days.
It is equivalent to eating only one meal on the food cut-off day (and it is not a big meal). Moreover, the two food cut-off days cannot be continuous.
In other words, your calendar will become like this in the future: [Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat]…
But! In the alternating joys and sorrows of [breaking] and [eating], this is really not something ordinary people can stick to.
Just imagine: only one meal a day, so hungry that your chest sticks to your back, and you still have the strength to squeeze the subway, bus, bike and walk to work? Where did you get the money to buy food when you didn’t go to work? How can one cut off food lightly if one has no money to buy food?
Besides, if you eat like this for a long time, your gastrointestinal tract and endocrine may be spoiled like this.
Therefore, it is better not to try this seemingly beautiful method easily. 99% of them may fail anyway. Why should they have trouble with their own bodies?
5. The sooner you lose weight, the better?
[Meat is hated by people], there are always people who want to lose weight quickly in a very short period of time, so they try such weight loss methods as [20 kg in 21 days] [15 kg in 13 days], which are very exaggerated in weight loss speed.
But! Fast weight loss, most of the loss is water and protein, as for the fat you really want to lose, in fact, not much weight loss, are still well on the body.
The first half of the month was eaten bite by bite, and of course it had to be reduced bite by bite.
Generally speaking, the appropriate weight loss rate is to lose 0.5 ~ 1 kg or 1% of the initial weight per week.
Although the speed is not fast, the advantage is that it is a [sustainable] method. Just like the tortoise and rabbit race, the winner is the one who can keep running until the end.
Compared with the above five weight loss mistakes, how many moves have you taken?
Weight loss or body management is actually to face life with a more serious attitude. There is no shortcut to lose weight, but if you can stick to it, you will definitely gain a better self.
