The pain of not eating the staple food, I shake my head when I have experienced it
1. Bad breath and constipation will come to my door
I don’t know if you have encountered such an embarrassing situation. , After not eating the staple food, I began to dare not speak to people, I can clearly feel that I have a breath, and I will be anxious every morning for not being able to pull out Baba. That’s one of the scourges of very low carb (the ketogenic diet is a common one). Bad breath is associated with acetone, an incomplete metabolite of fat in low-carb environments, and is sometimes described as the smell of fermented fruit or nail polish remover, and the same smell can even appear in sweat and urine over time. In some related studies on low-carb diets (simply understood as not eating staple foods), gastrointestinal side effects are common, such as bad breath, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc.
2. Hair loss, menstrual disorders
Mainly caused by excessive dieting. This can’t be entirely blamed on not eating staple food, but many people’s calorie intake plummets after not eating staple food. When the energy is insufficient, in order to survive, the body turns on the “layoff” state. The first thing to be abandoned is the hair and the reproductive system with high energy consumption. I just want to lose weight, I really don’t need to fight so hard.
3. Emotionally unstable, unhappy, and sluggish brain
Want to eat claypot rice! Craving for noodles! I want to eat fried noodles! Putting three bowls of rice in front of me can do it! This is probably the heart of every person who does not eat staple food. Not only do you think, but your brain thinks too. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for brain activity. Although protein can also be broken down into glycogen for use by the brain as fuel, it is not as efficient as consuming carbohydrates directly. In addition, carbohydrates are also drivers of important emotional mediators dopamine and serotonin, and if they are missing, they can cause people to do something out of control. Therefore, we do not recommend not eating staple foods, whether in the long term or in the short term. Staple food is not just calories, but there are many useful things. The essence of “don’t eat staple food” is to create a calorie deficit. Many people give priority to the staple food that is not low in “calorie” and does not seem to be “nutritious”. Starch (carbohydrate)-based foods such as rice, noodles, steamed buns, sweet potatoes, potatoes, oats, and miscellaneous beans are indeed the main energy in our daily life, generally accounting for about 50% of the total calories of all foods we eat.
