4, easy to enjoy "thin"-eating tomatoes at night to supplement the necessary nutrition can promote the secretion of growth hormone during sleep, accelerate metabolism, inhibit the increase of fat, and finally achieve the goal of slimming.
1, when to eat? -Eat with dinner.
You can slice raw tomatoes or make small tomatoes into salads directly. You can drink some tomato juice for dinner, or add some ketchup, mashed vegetables and canned tomatoes to add color to the dishes.
Special reminder: Where is the slimming secret of "Night Tomato"? Citric acid in tomatoes can promote sugar metabolism and burn fat; Lycopene can inhibit the increase of fat cells and absorb excess fat.
What's even more amazing is that tomatoes can live in harmony with the two "enemies of weight loss". Eating with oil not only has better absorption effect, but also can eliminate constipation; When it is eaten with carbohydrates, it can effectively reduce the glycemic index, making it difficult to increase the glycemic value, thus creating an in-vivo environment that is easy to lose weight.
2. How long will it last? -insist on at least 3 months, preferably 6 months.
Stick to it for at least 3 months, which is different from the devil's diet that pursues quick success but is particularly harmful to the body. The "night tomato diet" hopes that people can not only lose weight, but also eat beautifully, sleep soundly, have good skin and feel good. Therefore, please don't expect a "miracle" like eating 5 pounds of meat a week. Although you may find that you have lost 2 kilograms in silence after one month, please stick to it.
From a medical point of view, the metabolism and other cycles of the human body take an average of six months. When the body can "remember" this state that lasted for six months, it can really last longer and more effectively. Therefore, please persist for at least 3~5 months, so that our bodies can firmly "remember" this state of light after becoming thinner.
3. How much do you eat? -Intake more than15mg of lycopene every day.
When you make up your mind to start a life of "tomato night weight loss", please remember that you must ensure that you consume more than 15 mg of lycopene every day.
When eating tomatoes raw
You can eat two big tomatoes to lose weight in summer. Red series (generally big red, hard skin, not easy to peel) is better than peach series (generally yellowish, bright and thin skin, easy to peel), and contains lycopene three times as much as peach series. Or eat 17 small tomatoes, also known as cherry tomatoes, which have higher nutritional components, and carotene, vitamin C and dietary fiber are all 1.5~2 times that of ordinary tomatoes.
Drink a bottle of tomato juice.
If you want more obvious effect, it is recommended to drink 2~3 bottles a day. Drinking a bottle of tomato juice is equivalent to eating two raw tomatoes.
When cooking with tomatoes
You can use nearly 4 tablespoons (80g and 60g respectively) of ketchup or mashed tomatoes. For canned tomatoes, you can use 1 can (170g). Tomato paste and mashed tomatoes and vegetables are processed foods, which contain more lycopene than raw tomatoes.
Special reminder: The "ketchup", "mashed tomato" and "canned tomato" mentioned here are all different from "ketchup". The first three kinds are concentrated sauces made of fresh tomatoes, which are cooked and mashed in a blender, then stir-fried with olive oil, minced garlic and minced onion, and then mixed with bay leaves, rum, water and pepper. "Ketchup" is a sauce made by mixing fresh soup with prepared ketchup, adding white sugar and refined salt to dry the water. Sauce is not recommended because it is high in sugar and calories. So please read the label and ingredients clearly when buying.
The indispensable factor of success is to try to keep a regular life.
Partial eclipse, overeating and lack of sleep, these bad habits of daily life are also unfavorable to the "night tomato diet". Therefore, the timing of three meals, adjusting the time of going to bed and getting up, and ensuring adequate sleep are all essential contents of the "night tomato diet".
Without this factor, it is difficult for tomatoes to exert their magic no matter how good or wonderful they are. Although lycopene has a miraculous effect on reducing fat and repelling excess oxygen free radicals, it must not be over-dependent, and good diet and work habits are equally indispensable.
Special reminder: tomatoes are an excellent food to lose weight in summer, but they are often cold. Excessive consumption can cause discomfort such as diarrhea and body cold. Therefore, eating at night is by no means "the more the better", just the right amount; In addition, you can also add warm ingredients such as salt, onion, ginger and garlic when cooking, which can not only warm your body, but also solve this small problem.
In addition, because tomato pulp contains colloid and soluble astringent, it will react with gastric acid on an empty stomach, forming an insoluble lump, blocking the stomach and causing abdominal pain. Therefore, please don't eat on an empty stomach.
Tomato diet
Method 1: Eat before meals.
If eating a tomato before meals can help you lose weight, it is because low-calorie tomatoes have occupied part of the stomach space to avoid taking in too many calories in the future. Basically, if you can maintain a normal diet, don't think you can overeat just because you eat tomatoes. This method is quite healthy, but if you eat nothing but tomatoes, it is tantamount to forcing yourself to eat low-calorie food, although you may lose weight.
Method 2: Have lunch.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the developed diet can increase the thermogenic effect of the body, make the calorie metabolism vigorous after meals, and accelerate the consumption of calories, which is quite helpful for weight loss.
Stick to it for at least 3 months
Many people are eager for success, and often give up after a few days or weeks without seeing the effect. But medically speaking, the metabolic cycle of skin and nails takes an average of 6 months. And it is said that the human body can remember the state that lasts for 6 months, and then keep it like this after remembering it. So please let your body remember the thin state.
