Can you lose weight by eating vegetable salad instead of staple food?

Losing weight may not be successful, but it may be better to get fat. From a nutritional point of view, you really shouldn't eat salad to lose weight. First of all, whether it's vegetable salad or fruit salad, since it's called salad, you can't avoid salad dressing. You may choose thousand island sauce and mayonnaise instead of salad dressing, but without exception, each sauce is extremely high in calories, and many sauces are also high in sodium, which undoubtedly increases your burden.

Vegetables have the characteristics of high fiber and low carbon water, but people still can't help eating carbonated water. If you deliberately reduce the intake of carbohydrates for a long time, it is easy to cause hunger. This hunger is not the usual hunger for food, but for sweet food. This is the physiological instinct of the human body, so if you only eat salad and reduce the intake of staple food, it will often be counterproductive.

In addition, the human body is a complex and sophisticated system. If you consume low energy for a long time, the human body will automatically think that your current living condition is very poor, you will be naked and hungry, and your metabolic rate will decrease, so it is difficult for you to lose weight.

In order to survive, you eat less, your body consumes less, but there is still energy left. But once you return to a normal diet, your body can't accept the sudden increase in energy intake and will only accumulate more fat. Suddenly eating a lot of salad will destroy the balance and steady state of intestinal microorganisms. Because we humans have eaten grain staple food for tens of thousands of years, intestinal microorganisms are like that, so you should not destroy them artificially.

Therefore, regardless of salad dressing, vegetables, human functions and other aspects, salad is not a good food to lose weight.

Want to lose weight must be the result of balanced intake of various nutrients and active exercise. Fresh meat, poultry, eggs and milk are all very important components.

Salad is definitely not equal to health, and even harmful to health. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, it is a big mistake to treat salad as a staple food, especially for women. It's okay to adjust your taste once in a while.
