When Zhang Chengyu loses weight, she always drools at sweets, but she dare not cross the line. He is afraid that the whole day's efforts will go up in flames, and such forbearance will bring unimaginable mental stress, which is the biggest reason why many people give up losing weight. Good news! If you want to eat snacks, you don't have to be patient. Japanese nutritionists have broken this myth. It turns out that eating snacks correctly is easier to lose weight! Nutritionist: Eating snacks can help you lose weight. Recently, Japanese health programs discussed the theme of "health benefits of snacks", which mentioned a concept: increasing the number of meals may reduce your total calories and make it easier to lose weight! It turns out that the physiological clock gene "BMAL 1" in human body is also related to fat accumulation and metabolism. This gene is most active from 9 pm to 2 am. If you eat midnight snack at this time, it will be easier to accumulate fat. On the contrary, if you eat snacks at other times, it is not easy to convert the calories you eat into fat, and it also helps to avoid being hungry in the middle of the night and eating snacks indiscriminately. Not only that, eating snacks can also avoid the rapid rise of blood sugar caused by sudden intake of sugar on an empty stomach, which is easy to damage blood vessels and increase the risk of arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction, which is also one of the reasons for obesity. In addition, in order to lower blood sugar, the human body will secrete a lot of insulin, which may cause reactive hypoglycemia, which may cause problems such as drowsiness and headache, and may also cause vascular pressure due to fluctuations in blood sugar. However, there are restrictions on eating snacks. The program suggests that snacks account for 10% of the daily calorie intake, about 200 kcal, about 2 boiled eggs, or 1 rice ball, or 2 and a half bananas. Soybean is rich in protein, which helps to improve the nutritional value of snacks and is also the key to lose weight and keep healthy. Becco Imai, a professor at Kyoto Women's University and a nutritionist, recommended that edamame is rich in protein, vitamin C and methionine, which helps to burn fat and beautify the skin. Japanese pharmacist Samurai Sakata said that 200g edamame contains about 12g protein, accounting for about 20% of women's daily needs. It not only provides satiety, but also is rich in nutrients similar to vegetables, vitamins and coenzymes necessary for promoting fat and sugar metabolism, so it has the effect of losing weight. Chen, director of the Department of Metabolism of Luodong Pok Oi Hospital, Lin, a nutritionist, and Amanda, a health care chef, also pointed out in their book Diet and Treatment of Diabetes that 100g edamame contains about 2 eggs of protein, 8.7g dietary fiber, 69mg magnesium, 1.7mg zinc, and vitamin B 1, which is beneficial to sugar metabolism in the body. Yasuhiro Nakamura, a Japanese management nutritionist, said that if you want to eat sweets as snacks, it is recommended to eat a lot of strawberries, because strawberries account for a large proportion of fillings, and the proportion of sugar and oil added will be lower. In addition, strawberry is low in calories and rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber and polyphenols, which helps to eliminate fatigue, prevent arteriosclerosis and beautify muscles. Moreover, the potassium contained in strawberries can also help control blood pressure, so it is healthier than other sweets. In addition, egg pudding and cream puffs are also recommended snacks. The main raw materials of these two desserts are milk and eggs, which can help enrich protein's intake, while cream puffs are mainly flavored with cream, with relatively little sugar. However, I also remind you that although these sweets contain less sugar than other desserts, they may have higher sugar content according to the different production methods of the store. It is recommended to choose products that advertise less sugar to eat.
