Many people, when trying to lose weight, often choose the wrong methods. When they hear others say to control their diet, they simply stop eating altogether. In reality, this approach is ineffective and highly prone to causing rebound weight gain. Losing weight seems to have become a common topic of discussion nowadays, with many wondering how to slim down without dieting or exercising! Today, I will share with you a way to achieve a slender figure through “eating.” By swapping out staple foods with these few items, you can lose weight effortlessly.
Purple sweet potato
The selenium and anthocyanins in purple sweet potatoes are essential elements for combating fatigue, anti-aging, and replenishing blood. Consuming sweet potatoes regularly can help prevent aging, promote beauty, and skincare. Purple sweet potatoes are rich in fiber, which can stimulate intestinal movements, clear intestinal gas and debris, maintain regular bowel movements, improve gastrointestinal health, and prevent gastrointestinal diseases.
Purple Sweet Potato Tremella Soup (meal replacement for weight loss and beauty)
Soak the tremella fungus, remove the stem, wash it thoroughly, and tear it into small pieces; peel and wash the purple sweet potatoes, then cut them into small pieces; in a pot, add water and bring the tremella fungus to a boil, then simmer for one hour; add the purple sweet potatoes and rock sugar, and simmer for another 30 minutes until the sweet potatoes are cooked and the soup thickens.
Boiled corn
Corn is another low-calorie, popular food among various staples. It is sweet and nutritious, containing a large amount of beneficial substances that are excellent for promoting intestinal motility and aiding in weight loss.
When boiling corn, be sure to keep the inner layer of the corn husk. The inner corn husk’s role in corn is comparable to the relationship between fish and fish maw; they complement each other. It must be retained but thoroughly cleaned. Corn without the husk becomes tasteless.
Millet
Millet is a common grain used for making porridge. It is high in potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, with very low sodium content. During weight loss, it can be paired with refined grains as a coarse grain for consumption. Millet is also rich in dietary fiber and low in calories, providing a feeling of fullness easily. It is recommended for women to consume more as it not only helps maintain weight but also keeps the skin smooth.
Whole wheat bread
Repeatedly mentioned in recommended weight loss meals, whole wheat bread is the top choice for low GI and high dietary fiber staple food. However, be cautious of buying fake whole wheat bread! Genuine whole wheat bread primarily consists of whole wheat flour, with visible wheat bran fragments. It should have a wheat aroma! Three slices of whole wheat bread, paired with a glass of milk and 6-8 cherry tomatoes, make a perfect breakfast.
Brown rice
Brown rice is rich in fiber, which has various health benefits including lowering blood sugar, regulating fats, aiding in weight loss, promoting bowel movements, detoxifying, reducing pain, reinforcing disease resistance, and maintaining overall well-being. It can enhance the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria, accelerate intestinal motility, prevent constipation, and reduce the risk of colon cancer.
