1. Do you eat apples before or after meals?
Li Yuanyuan, a master of nutrition and food hygiene, said that eating apples before meals is good for weight control. Take a medium-sized red Fuji apple as an example. It weighs about 250 grams, and the edible part accounts for 85%. After eating, the sugar intake is about 20 grams and the energy is about 96 calories, which is almost equivalent to a small bowl of rice (about two ounces). In this way, eating an apple before meals will make it difficult to eat as much as before for dinner. Moreover, apples are rich in soluble dietary fiber, which will absorb water and expand like a sponge, occupy the volume in the gastrointestinal tract and enhance satiety. Similarly, eating a banana and a handful of dates before meals is good for weight control.
We feel hungry because our blood sugar is low or our stomachs are empty, and apples have both energy and satiety. So eating apples before meals is good for controlling our appetite. If you eat less cakes, ribs and fried chicken wings for dinner, it will help you control your weight.
It should be noted that although eating apples before meals is beneficial to weight control, it does not mean that eating apples before meals will definitely help you lose weight. If three meals are not reduced, it is impossible to achieve the goal of losing weight; In addition, it does not mean that apples can only be eaten before meals. If there is extra space in the stomach after a meal, it's okay to eat an apple, or it's okay to take an apple as part of the dinner.
Because my own food intake is relatively small, it is suitable to eat apples as snacks between meals, such as around 10 in the morning or around 3 pm, which can supplement the nutrition and energy of the day. When to eat apples and other fruits depends on your own situation, and you can't generalize.
Dr. Wei Wei, a nutritionist at Oriental Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, also reminded that when people eat more than the standard for dinner without increasing exercise, the overall energy intake will increase, which will lead to obesity and other problems in the long run. Based on this, Wei Wei suggested, "It is advisable to eat fruit between meals. We can use fruit as a supplement to dinner and increase the intake of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. "
It is worth mentioning that for diabetics, it is ok to eat a small amount of fruit between meals as long as the blood sugar is controlled smoothly. It doesn't mean that you have to say goodbye to fruit if you have diabetes. The nutritional value of fruits is similar to that of vegetables, but it cannot be completely replaced. Therefore, we should ensure the intake of vegetables in a balanced diet every day. At the same time, a reasonable diet should be considered from all aspects, so besides fruit, everyone should pay attention to the balanced intake of other foods to ensure health.

3. What should Apple pay attention to when losing weight?
1, eating apples for a long time without nutrition will make you faint, but it is ok to do it once a month for three days at a time, and it will not cause too much malnutrition.
2. Apples contain tannic acid. Eating with seafood not only reduces the nutritional value of seafood protein, but also tends to have symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Similarly, other fruits with much tannic acid, such as strawberry, bayberry, persimmon, pomegranate, lemon, grape, sour pomelo, etc., should not be eaten with seafood.
3, because apples are hard, it is best to chew slowly when eating, to avoid gorging, so as not to damage the stomach. The best time to eat apples is between meals. As a complementary food, apples can provide water and nutrition needed by the body and brain, and also bring satiety and reduce the amount of food.
4. Only eat apples every day during weight loss, which can be eaten according to people's habit of eating at noon and night in the morning. You'd better not feel hungry. You can't eat other food for 3 days. If you feel thirsty, drink boiled water and some non-irritating tea. In short, during weight loss, the gastrointestinal tract is very sensitive to food and drinks, so it can't be used casually to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.
