Many people, in order to lower blood fat and improve health, have tried a seemingly simple yet challenging plan – dinner only consisting of vegetables, without rice.
This change seems reasonable since reducing carbohydrate intake is often considered beneficial for weight loss and controlling blood fat.
But is this dietary approach really effective?
Does not eating rice for dinner really help you lower blood fat, or does it bring unexpected health risks instead?
Mr. Liu’s Determination and Persistence
When Mr. Liu was young, he worked on construction sites. Although life was tough, he maintained a good physique.
However, as he aged, his body functioned less optimally, and coupled with a lack of attention to his daily diet, Mr. Liu’s belly gradually began to grow. Every time he looked down at his protruding beer belly, he felt quite uneasy.
One day, Mr. Liu went to the hospital for a routine checkup. The doctor informed him that his blood fat levels were high, and if continued, this might lead to serious cardiovascular issues.
Upon hearing this news, Mr. Liu felt a bit anxious; he didn’t want his eating habits to affect his health and certainly didn’t want to cause trouble for his family.
After returning home, Mr. Liu sat on the sofa and contemplated how to adjust his diet.
For many years, he had grown accustomed to lavish dinners, especially relishing white rice, often finishing several bowls at each meal. But this time, he decided to make a big change – dinner would consist only of vegetables, without rice.
As soon as this idea was voiced, family members expressed their support, particularly Mr. Liu’s wife, who was pleased that her husband had finally resolved to pay attention to his health.
On the first day of dinner, Mr. Liu felt a bit uncomfortable. The table was still filled with various dishes, including braised pork, stir-fried greens, scrambled eggs, and his favorite fish-flavored shredded pork. But the white rice pot in the center of the table was gone.
