Pay attention to the choice of mutton

The fat content of different parts of mutton varies greatly, reaching more than 30%, while the fat content of the thinnest leg of lamb and tenderloin is only about 5%, so leg of lamb, tenderloin, shoulder of lamb and tenderloin are chosen instead of lamb chops. The unique fishy smell of mutton comes from calcite in sheep fat. Choosing low-fat mutton can also reduce the fishy smell.

Mutton slimming food recommendation

Mutton has a fishy smell, so spicy spices must be used in cooking mutton, such as pepper, star anise, cumin, ginger, mint leaves, pepper, cooking wine and so on. Here are some delicious and fattening home-made mutton practices (using lean mutton):

1, mutton and radish soup

Select lamb tenderloin, clean it, cut it into 1 cm square, blanch it in boiling water to remove foam, then marinate it with ginger slices, cooking wine, white pepper, a little salt and minced garlic for about 4 hours (in the freezer), blanch it in cold water in a pot, and simmer it for about 2 hours after boiling. Wash the white radish, peel it, cut it into 1 cm square, and cook it in a pot for about 20 minutes. Season with salt, chopped green onion, white pepper and coriander leaves.

Comments: This dish is cool and refreshing. The freshness of mutton and the sweetness of white radish complement each other. White radish is rich in crude fiber, which can remove oil and greasy. If you drink soup, it is recommended to skim off a little oil slick.

2. Braised mutton in sauce

Select sheep's shoulders or legs, cut them into the size of a child's fist, blanch them in boiling water to remove foam, add mutton in cold water, boil them, add bean paste, soy sauce, cooking wine, ginger slices and salt, and simmer for 2-3 hours.

Comments: This dish is rich in meat, salty and palatable, suitable for direct tearing, but pay attention to eat more oily vegetables and fungi when eating, and have a balanced diet.

Step 3 stew mutton

It's the same as sauce stew, but it doesn't need so much seasoning, just ginger, salt, a little aniseed and pepper. Pay attention to salt before cooking, so that the stewed mutton is more delicious and the meat quality is more delicate.

Comments: This mutton is very light, and it is suitable for cutting into slices with dipping sauce, or cutting into silk or thin slices with noodles or baby dish tofu soup, or cutting into large pieces to make mutton buns.

4. cumin roasted mutton

Cut the mutton into thin slices of about 1-2 mm, marinate with cumin, salt, cooking wine, minced garlic and pepper for 2 hours, drain, wrap it in tin foil, put it on a baking tray, put it in the middle layer of the oven 180 degrees, and heat the upper and lower tubes at the same time for about 15 minutes.

Comments: This roast mutton is fragrant and delicious, crisp outside and tender inside. However, because the oven can control the temperature, there is no need to worry about eating carcinogens in the open-air kebabs. It is recommended to eat with many vegetables.

If you want to lose weight, it is not enough to have left hand meat.

Yes, mutton contains more L-carnitine than other meats: L-carnitine in mutton is 2. 1g/kg, beef is 0.64g/kg and pork is 0.3g/kg. L-carnitine can promote the utilization of fat, help you burn fat better, and increase muscle and exercise ability at the same time. But note that the precursor is your exercise, not the L-carnitine fat that will burn automatically.

The metabolic process of fat goes through an obstacle, that is, mitochondrial membrane. Mitochondria can burn fat to release energy, which is consumed by the body, but long-chain fatty acids can't pass this barrier. L-carnitine, like a porter, transports long-chain fatty acids to the outside of the shield bit by bit and gives them to mitochondria for further oxidation. L-carnitine is just a carrier, and how much fat is consumed does not depend on L-carnitine. It's like the bricks needed in Gai Lou are transported by car, but how many bricks Gai Lou consumes does not depend on the number of cars, but on the size and structure of the building.

Simply put, it doesn't matter how much mutton you eat if the amount of exercise (energy consumption) is not large. Of course, it is useless to take L-carnitine supplements, even lean mutton contains fat and calories. If you eat too much, it will turn into fat and accumulate on your body. So finally emphasize three points:

1, choose lean mutton and cook with as little oil as possible;

2, supplement L-carnitine, no more than 75 grams of lean mutton every day, that is, the size of three fingers, eating too much is indulgence;

3, with exercise can effectively lose weight, eat the same fat!
