We probably all know what foods we can’t eat to lose weight, such as fried chicken, beer, barbecue, etc.;
However, what are the best foods to eat during weight loss?
1. Whole grains
Whole grains are rich in fiber, which can stimulate our gastrointestinal motility, such as corn.
2. Apples
Apples are not only excellent substitutes for sweets but also can accelerate gastrointestinal motility and appropriately enhance the body’s detoxification ability. Eating some fruits before meals daily can reduce the intake of staple foods.
3. Low-fat or skim milk
Substituting snacks with skim milk is a good method that can ensure our calcium intake while reducing the intake of high-calorie foods.
4. Plain water
Drink plenty of water when thirsty or hungry to promote metabolism, detoxify, and beautify the skin.
5. Dragon fruit
Containing rich vitamin C and water-soluble dietary fiber, it helps with bowel movements and can lower blood sugar.
6. Boiled vegetables
Boil vegetables in plain water without adding MSG or other seasonings. Persisting with this will have significant effects.
It should be noted that although many foods are suitable for weight loss, rational combinations should be considered. Not only limit to one type of food but also avoid interactions between various foods to prevent food poisoning.
Perhaps we all think that eating fruits is the best way to lose weight. It’s always believed that eating fruits can reduce the intake of staple foods while supplementing the body’s nutrition needs, but during weight loss, fruits should not be consumed haphazardly!
Fruits that should not be eaten or should be eaten sparingly during weight loss:
1. Fresh lychee and sugarcane
Both are fruits with high sugar content. Consuming them on an empty stomach during weight loss can stimulate the stomach mucosa, causing bloating, stomach pain, etc. Excessive sugar intake may lead to hyperosmolar diseases.
2. Bananas
Bananas contain a high amount of magnesium. When consumed on an empty stomach, it can cause an increase in magnesium levels in the body, potentially leading to calcium-magnesium imbalance affecting our cardiovascular system.
3. Hawthorn
Hawthorn is known for its appetite-stimulating effects. Eating it on an empty stomach will make you feel hungrier and may worsen stomach conditions.
4. Tomatoes and black dates
Some components in tomatoes and black dates react with stomach acid to form insoluble solids, which can block the stomach and cause bloating.
5. Persimmons
Eating persimmons on an empty stomach can react with stomach acid to form concretions, causing symptoms like vomiting, nausea, or even stomach perforation.
6. Pineapple
Eating pineapple before meals can cause stomach wall damage because it contains protein-digesting enzymes.
7. Oranges
Oranges contain a lot of sugar and acid. Eating oranges on an empty stomach can stimulate the stomach mucosa, increase gastric acid secretion, and cause a sour feeling.
Special reminder: Fruits should be eaten before meals, not excessively consumed, not substitute for main meals, and prefer low-sugar fruits.
“Sharing and liking” is a form of encouragement!
