I often hear doctors say that I should have a light diet. How to eat lightly?
My grandmother is a diabetic. Due to improper diet control by her family, sometimes she will have serious hypoglycemia complications because she eats too little carbohydrate-which is more dangerous than not controlling her blood sugar well. And she once ate several meals of "painting broccoli" because her family asked for a "light diet", which caused her to cry when she saw broccoli. . . In fact, the example of Hong in my life really taught me how important it is to "eat with your heart". With the principle of aversion to food to achieve slimming and light diet, diabetes and hypertension are counterproductive, which may not only lead to more serious complications, but also be very depressed.

As a "high appetite" person, how to bear the lifelong contract of sacrificing food for health? Let's dismantle some misunderstandings about light diet one by one and see clearly what is the real "light diet"!

1. light diet ≠ dieting ≠ health

A light diet is actually a subjective description. Some people think that millet porridge+pickles is light. Some people think vegetable salad is light, while others think eating fruit as a meal is light. In fact, all these ideas reflect that only dieting is light.

The idea that needs to be subverted here is that a light diet does not mean controlling appetite, let alone being healthy!

However, simple dieting has been proved by countless examples that it can't maintain long-term weight loss effect. Even diet plus exercise, a biblical way to lose weight, that is, "keep your mouth shut and open your legs", has been tested and found that as many as half of people rebound after one year. [ 1]

Moreover, it is not only a one-sided weight loss effect, but the practice of dieting not only bears certain psychological pressure, but also makes the body fall into a vicious circle of "impaired basal metabolism", and then it is easy to gain weight again.

Even if individuals persist in "lifelong" diet, the results are often not better than those who take a balanced diet, but the price is very high.

It can be seen that the essence of a healthy diet to lose weight is definitely not to "shut up" but to "eat smart". A diet that really makes you healthy for a long time must be an unburdened habit, not a deliberate task. Just like a person who really enjoys getting up early, he never feels that he is performing a hard task, and those who are forced to get up by "dreams" often give up completely after insisting for a short time. This is the same as dieting to achieve weight loss and health. So-if you really want to have a healthy diet, you must first give up dieting, seek the correct diet structure, re-recognize food and establish a correct diet view-only in this way can you develop lifelong healthy habits instead of sprinting to lose weight at one time.

Life is not a 100-meter race, so why bother yourself at the most suitable age?

2. High-calorie food ≠ poison, high-calorie food is often classified as "junk food", and junk food usually has the characteristics of high "negative nutritional elements" and lack of "positive nutritional elements", such as high monosaccharide, high saturated fat and high sodium but lack of vitamins, cellulose and minerals.

However, even so, it does not mean that these foods are completely taboo. Remember, they are not poisons and will not cause harm to the body within a reasonable range. Because, although these foods are not cost-effective, they bring people a sense of fullness and nutrition, but they also have other functions of spiritual comfort and stimulating the body-what is more comfortable than ice cream in summer, hot tea with jasmine fragrance in winter, a chocolate bar when bored, a bag of French fries in afternoon tea, and a bag of instant noodles during a hunger strike at night?

Although they are not nutritious foods, they bring you happiness that nothing else can replace. No one wants to force themselves to chew a carrot and celery when they are hungry, and comfort themselves with a light diet? You know, we have a certain share of nutrition and calories every day, so in the face of a strong desire for junk food, repression is often not the best way. The correct way is to squeeze out a little share to satisfy your own desires, and then enjoy the fun brought by these "small indulgences" with peace of mind. Think about those top students, don't they all have some fun?

However, if you want to say that your desire is to eat French fries, cola and instant noodles every day or to have a party every night, then I can only say that such a Sao year needs psychotherapy.
