The so-called zero calorie food means that the three nutrients (carbohydrate, fat and protein) are all zero, which will not provide any energy for the body after eating. However, not all foods marked as 0 calories in the market are really 0 calories. For example, the Japanese Ministry of Health stipulates that foods with less than 4 calories per100g can also be counted as 0 calories.
If it is a qualified meal replacement, there will always be enough protein and dietary fiber in it, and these two ingredients can provide a stronger satiety for the human body, so that you won't feel hungry easily after eating. If you have just started to eat meal replacement and your eating habits have not been adjusted, you can also eat some healthy and low-calorie foods between meals, such as half an apple, a few red pestles and half a cucumber, to replenish energy and alleviate "fake" hunger.
Although eating meal replacement is easy to control calories, it is not easy to control calories without reducing nutrition. If you want to eat meal replacement to lose weight, you'd better use meal replacement instead of 1-2 meals, and ensure that you eat at least 1 meal normally every day, and this meal pays attention to nutritional collocation. For those who plan to eat meal replacement for more than two months, it is best to make a more comprehensive diet arrangement under the guidance of a nutrition consultant.
Meal replacement is mainly aimed at adults who need to control their weight. It is not recommended for pregnant women, lactating women, children, infants and the elderly. At present, most of the meal replacement products on the market are designed to control energy and lose weight, which can not completely cover all the nutritional elements needed by the human body, and any meal replacement can not completely replace the three-meal diet every day. Replacing three meals with meal replacement for a long time will not only lead to insufficient nutrition intake and malnutrition, but even lead to other diseases. Eating meal replacement products for more than two months is recommended to seek the guidance of a nutritionist.
