Hello everyone, I am Qingyue, a food lover and a positive energy expert in fat-reducing meals. Please take care of me.
As we all know, yogurt has weight loss effects. So why do you gain weight the more yogurt you drink? Most people buy packaged yogurt at the supermarket, which has high sugar content and contains a lot of additives, resulting in not-so-low calories. Another reason for weight gain is drinking yogurt after a full meal, which is incorrect. This undoubtedly leads to greater calorie intake, making it surprising if you don’t gain weight. You should factor the calories from yogurt into your total calorie intake; this way, you won’t gain weight, and it may help with fat loss.
Yogurt is rich in calcium. When our bodies are deficient in calcium, parathyroid hormone is secreted in large amounts into the bloodstream, promoting fat accumulation. Therefore, regularly drinking yogurt to supplement calcium can aid in weight loss. The choline found in yogurt helps promote the excretion of cholesterol from the intestines and reduces its absorption, which can help overweight individuals prevent hypertension and coronary heart disease. Yogurt contains a large amount of active lactic acid bacteria and short-chain fatty acids, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, thereby alleviating constipation and reducing weight.
If you want to lose weight by drinking yogurt, it’s best to choose skim or low-fat, low-sugar, or sugar-free yogurt. Supermarket yogurt is not effective for weight loss, so I will teach you how to make homemade yogurt, which you can eat after a night of preparation. It’s low-fat, nutritious, simple, and can help you lose weight.
Homemade Yogurt
Ingredients:
300 ml of pure milk, 100 grams of plain yogurt
Instructions:
1. After warming the milk, mix it with yogurt well, then place it in a covered bowl and put it in an electric pressure cooker.
2. Add water to the pot to half the height of the yogurt bowl, cover the pot, heat for 5 minutes, then unplug; after 1 hour, heat for another 2 minutes, and unplug again to let it sit for 6 hours.
Qingyue’s Nutritional Tips:
You can make this the night before, and it will be ready to eat after a night’s wait, which is simple and convenient. The homemade yogurt contains lactic acid bacteria, promoting fat excretion and achieving weight loss.
You can also eat yogurt this way—Yogurt Fruit Tremella Soup
Ingredients:
250 grams of yogurt, 250 grams of kiwi, 100 grams of soaked tremella, 100 grams of papaya, 100 grams of apple, 100 grams of pear, and 50 grams of rock sugar.
Instructions:
1. Clean and rinse the tremella, then put it in a soup pot, add fresh water, and simmer until it becomes thick, then add rock sugar and let it cool down.
2. Wash all the fruits, peel them, and cut into dices, then add them to the rock sugar tremella soup and mix in the yogurt to enjoy.
Qingyue’s Nutritional Tips:
If you don’t want to eat rice for dinner, you might as well have a bowl of this; it can promote intestinal peristalsis, reduce fat absorption, and also has certain weight loss effects as well as beautifying skin benefits.
It’s best to drink yogurt two hours after a meal. Drinking yogurt on an empty stomach or immediately after meals will weaken yogurt’s health benefits. Yogurt is not suitable for heating; when heated, the probiotics it contains will die in large quantities, and the nutritional value decreases.
Supermarket yogurt is not effective for weight loss; I recommend making your own yogurt, which is low in fat, nutritious, and delicious. Most importantly, it can help overweight individuals lose weight. You should definitely give it a try.
There are many ways to consume yogurt, so what other delicious methods are there, and which method is low in calories and aids fat loss? Feel free to leave your comments and share with Qingyue.
