Losing weight seems to have become the “main theme” of modern health preservation. How to lose weight efficiently and how to lose weight to be healthy has also become a topic that many young people discuss day and night. As the main source of energy, diet has naturally become the main goal of weight loss enthusiasts.
In the beginning, many people believed that fat was the cause of obesity, so they tried to lose weight through “vegetarian” and “no meat” methods, but the effect was average, so some people began to eat rice and noodles often , the result is better to lose weight than not to eat meat, what is the reason?
Why not eat rice noodles? Can eating meat help you lose weight?
In fact, this mainly involves the issue of energy priority.
Carbohydrates and fats, as the main components of rice noodles and meat, are also one of the energy sources of our body. Compared to fat, the carbohydrates provided by rice noodles will be preferentially absorbed by the body after entering our stomach, and the energy efficiency is higher. Not eating rice noodles means that the body’s main energy source is cut off, and the weight will naturally drop faster.
Not only that, but excess carbohydrate intake will also be converted into fat itself. Not eating rice noodles means that the level of fat stored in the body will decrease, and it will naturally become easier to lose weight.
As for fat, many people think it is the “culprit” of obesity, but this is not the case. As early as 2017, the research group of Peking University in my country conducted a survey on more than 500 women of all ages. Diet survey, the results found:
The association between fat intake and body weight is lower than that of carbohydrates. If you don’t eat fat, your weight will naturally not change significantly. The hazards of excessive fat intake are more in the aspects of excessive cholesterol, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, even if the fat intake does not “gain fat” as we imagined, it is also not allowed to eat more.
To sum up, not eating rice noodles will indeed make you thinner than not eating meat, and there is also scientific evidence. Speaking of this, maybe some weight loss lovers will play “careful thinking”, thinking that since eating rice noodles is easier to gain weight, wouldn’t it be better to cut off the staple food to lose weight?
Is it really possible to cut off the staple food to lose weight?
Here is a reminder: don’t do this.
It is true that carbohydrates are the main cause of fat accumulation and excess energy. On the other hand, carbohydrates are also an important source of energy and sugar for the human body. If the supply of carbohydrates is completely cut off, malnutrition, weakened immunity and other abnormal conditions will also occur. Not only that, if you don’t eat staple food for a long time to lose weight, some of the body’s organs will be particularly damaged.
If you don’t eat staple food for a long time, these 3 organs will be seriously damaged
The first is our heart:
The heart is the source of blood, and the heart is active, and what it needs is the energy ingested from food. As the largest source of energy for human beings, If you don’t eat carbohydrates, it means that the body cannot provide enough for the heart beating ‘s motivation. In the long run, the heart, blood vessels and other organs and tissues will also be affected, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Then the brain:
The brain is the same as the heart. Whether it is neuronal transmission or the operation of the brain itself, sugar is needed to maintain it. If you do not eat carbohydrates for a long time, the brain will also be damaged, resulting in memory loss, headaches, and trance. For middle-aged and elderly people, it may even increase the risk of dementia and mental disorders. Be sure to pay attention to your carbohydrate intake.
And finally the liver:
The liver is one of the organs in our body that controls metabolism and stores blood. One, on the one hand, if there is not enough sugar intake to maintain adequate blood gas supply, liver tissue will be affected, and liver function will also decline.
On the other hand, liver metabolism depends on the supply of liver glycogen, and carbohydrates are the main raw material for synthesizing liver glycogen. The metabolic capacity of the liver decreases due to not eating staple food, which affects the overall metabolism of the body. And endocrine is also very big damage.
In summary, if you don’t eat staple food for a long time, you may indeed have a good weight loss effect, but this is obtained through health, not what we want. But having said that, although we cannot lose weight by not eating staple food, adjusting the dietary pattern of staple food can also have a good weight loss effect.
If you want to lose weight effectively, how to adjust the staple food diet?
Here are 2 Method:
[“Not eating” is worse than “eating less”]
The reason why some people gain weight is not largely because of eating carbohydrates. It’s eating too many carbs. Therefore, maintaining the carbohydrate intake at a normal level, or even eating a little less, can not only maintain the body’s energy supply, but also have a very good weight loss effect.
According to the recommendations of the “Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents”, Adults should consume about 50% of the total amount of carbohydrates every day. Weight loss lovers can eat less. For example, the proportion of carbohydrates consumed every day is about 40% to 45%. If you eat more vegetables and fruits, the weight loss effect is also significant.
[Coarse grains partially replace refined grains]
This is also a good way to adjust the staple food to lose weight, such as coarse grains such as corn and yam, which have a feeling of fullness Strong, low glycemic index, rich in dietary fiber, in the daily diet, will be threeOne of the rice noodles is replaced with coarse grains, which is also a very good way to lose weight.
All in all, for friends who want to lose weight, they must not do it by not eating carbohydrates. Reasonable and scientific adjustment of carbohydrates is often the best choice for weight loss. It is necessary to be in shape and healthy, and never forget it.
